The Bee Movie review

Posted by Anonymous on
The Bee Movie

This film is about a bee called Barry Benson who has recently graduated college but finds the monotonous life of a bee uninspiring. He flies outside of the hive and breaks a cardinal rule of his society, by talking to a human. He then learns that humans have been stealing and consuming honey for generations, as well as exploiting bees on honey farms, sparking him to file a lawsuit and bring justice to bees everywhere.

I enjoyed this film because, although it is made for smaller children, there are underlying messages linking to real world problems, such as child exploitation and overcoming racial barriers. The animation style and terrible puns made it an enjoyable film for the children and the parents. (and the stupid teenagers watching it as a joke.)

I would highly recommend this film, as it can be a bright family movie with it's humour and animation, or it can be taken more seriously, with underlying themes and messages.

Short Stories: WHERE IS DANIEL?

The time was an early morning in the winter of 1941. Falling snow packed onto the hard  labourers  of Gulag  10 WLA as they begin setting off into the mines and factories somewhere in the far east. Malnourished, mistreated and muddy, the inhabitors of this typical Gulag were kept under strict control of General Victor, who gave harsh punishments to any prisoner who dared riot or worse, insult the government.   It was a normal evening. The prisoners were escorted back to the Gulag through the freezing taiga by cattle carriages. They waited in line for their daily rations: Rubbery potatoes, dried bread and lime water. If one behaved well and boasted high production, he/she would sometimes be rewarded with a small knob of fresh corn, a snack the guards would gladly feast on. General Victor was feasting on a large chicken when Archie, or formally, Guard Number One burst into his room reporting misbehaviour between two prisoners. Ben (Guard Number Two) and Mile...

Book Review - I Am Malala

This book - I Am Malala - is about Malala Yousafzai, who fought for the right of girl's education, when the Taliban took over Pakistan, Malala's home country. It was an autobiography novel, written by Malala herself with help from Patricia Mccormick and was written for teens. Malala was an ordinary girl living in Pakistan with her family and friends and thoroughly enjoyed school, which she did very well at. However, in Pakistan, women were restricted in what they could do and be seen doing and these worsened when the Taliban came when Malala was 10 years old. Even at this age, Malala did not like that women were treated so horribly. So she spoke out, but the Taliban did not like this. They took action and shot Malala on her school bus, she never got to and probably never will get to make that journey back home. The bullet was shot into Malala's head and narrowly avoided her brain, it took Malala several surgeries, physical therapy sessions and a flight halfway across the...

In this story it shows how an American Sailor is lured into his devious plot. While in Jamaica an American Sailor who was there having fun and on a training course sat next to the little man after coming out of a pool, he offered to light the little man's cigar with his lighter, that he claimed "never failed".
