"Secret Life of Bees"

By Germika Sanders

There are many different ways you can go about understanding the life of a lost soul. "The Secret Life of Bees" illustrates this by following a motherless child named Lilly (Dakota Fanning) and a housekeeper named Rosalynn (Jennifer Hudson) who escape from their small town in hopes of finding out who Lilly’s mom really was.
   

In the process of their journey they came across a magenta two-story house that belonged to three virtuous, kind-hearted and hardworking women.  Their names were August (Queen Latifah), June (Alicia Keys), and May (Sophie Okonedo). These women owned a honey business, which for some reason made Lilly believe she was in the right place for all her questions to be answered. The young and now blessed Lilly starts to realize who her mother was and what she was about. In addition, she experiences the dream life provided by her three guardian angles.
    

This movie by far deserves four squares. It have mystery, drama, emotional suspense and a little humor.


I personally recommend all people especially woman to go see this inspiring movie produced by Will and Jada Pinkett Smith.
