The Secret Life of Bees

I just saw The Secret Life of Bees last night. It's a wonderful, touching movie about the need for all people to find real love and validation, set in the early sixties in times when racial tensions run high in the rural South. Beautifully acted and directed starring Queen Latifah, Dakota Fanning, Alicia Keyes, Jennifer Hudson and others. It follows the book almost perfectly, which is often rare when a book is translated into film. Go here to see a clip and find more about it. The music is good too!
