Aug 19 2008'Secret Life of Bees' Trailer Finally Gets to the Bottom of Bees
With all that buzzing and stinging and honey-making and seemingly-impossible flying and caste-based societying, you just knew something fishy was going on in those hives. Let's see what you've been hiding, bees...
Oh, I guess the whole "Secret Lives of Bees" things is a metaphor. See, Queen Latifah is like the queen bee, because they both have "queen" in their name. And the part where Dakota Fanning smashes the jar of honey represents how smashing mirrors is so cliché, so how about a jar of honey instead? But I wonder what Fanning taking the Olsen-esque aging path of cute child actor-to-haggard corpse is all about. Probably something to do with bees.

From the screenshot I thought this was going to be a horror movie in the same vain as The Birds or something. Much to my dismay it's about being a confident lady growing up in the south in a turbulent social climate :(

"seemingly-impossible flying"
Bees fly by swimming on the air so that sounds like a boring premise to a movie to me. ;)

I was actually legitimately intrigued by the fake description given before the cut, only to read the paragraph after the cut that mentions queen latifah.
How do we lose Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes, and eye cancer queen latifah still gets to live and make terrible movies
