Movie adaption, Secret Life of Bees

First I must say that this time I actually liked the movie better than the book. It is because the book is so predictable and a very typical cliché which kills the tension to move on to the next page, which I think is important with books. On the other hand I got a more correct and stronger impression of the characters through the movie, especially T Ray. The T Ray we are described is described as a man with no kinds of good feelings, especially above Lily but also Deborah. In the movie we get a more fair impression of a broken man who basically feels the love for both Lily and Deborah. What I mean is that now that I've seen the movie, I do not hate T Ray anymore.

A thing that also made the movie different from the book is that the movie gets us much faster through Lily and Rosaleen’s escape. In the movie, the main content find place in Tiburon with the Boatwright sisters.

The book is alright but the movie is good. The characters in the movie are a big reason for it to become as good as it is because the story itself does not stand out in a special way itself. The movie is a typical chick flick while on the same time the themes the book brings up such as hope, courage and race, makes the story a little more valuable. I mean that we clearly can compare all of the themes with the life we live today, maybe just on another level or in another situation. I think some of us actually can learn some things from this movie, such as appreciating things and be more thankful for small things.
