i love The Secret Life Of Bees for showing me these beautiful songs which i wouldnt know otherwise.. beautiful song, beautiful voice, brilliant movie and soundtrack <3
@alovelyday17 thanx...i completely agree! this song is a prime example! it has a very calm, peaceful, hippie vibe to it! that could b altered if he added unnecessary lyrics to it.! im happy u understand what im saying!
@alovelyday17 i agree but its probably bcuz they get right to the point & say what needs to be said & afterwards its done...no need to have extra music or lyrics (that may not make any sense) thats just added in for the sole purpose of making it longer! when artist do that,the song loses the appeal & bcomes generic & stupid!! just 1 girl's opinion!:)
@Rosebunse which movie r u referring to?? secret life of bees or something else? i actually liked that movie but we all have our opinions...if thats the move u r referring to!
@montereyhippie No, I was referring to The Secret Life of Bees. It wasted three great actresses and turned what could have been an Oscar worthy drama into another typical 50sh movie about why racism is wrong. Yes, I know racism is wrong, that's why I'm so tired of being reminded of it 24/7. It's not like the people who need to see it will. The book wasn't that great either.
@Rosebunse i completely disagree...I didnt get the impression that it was about y racism is wrong. of course it had a racist event n it that effected he characters but i think that was more for aesthetics.a reminder to the viewer of what the era was like.its hard to make a movie that takes place n the down south 50s w/o showing 1 racist event since thats what they experienced everyday!out of curiousity r u young/white? u dont have to answer if u dont feel comfortable! for me it was more about...
@Rosebunse a little girl that went from feeling like she had no 1 really close to her (except mayb the maid),having no mother, & not really knowing where she belong. to being surrounded w/ love,having 3 surrogate mothers,& feeling like she was where she belonged;home! & that love, like any true/real love surpasses race,skin color,etc I think its more to do w/ finding ur place & teaching ppl that u can chose ur family. fam is whoever love,cares, & support u. thats my opinion! :) paix
@montereyhippie Content doesn't matter, it's about execution. Yes, the themes were good, but it still fell flat and felt like it was preaching the same thing again and again.
@Rosebunse again i diagree w/u! 1 content is equally important as execution. 2 i realy dont blieve that this movie was "preaching" anyting! if u were given the chance to ask the director y the movie is "preaching" the same thing again & again, im fairly certain (s)he wouldnt know what u were talkin about since its not even close to doing that 3 we all have our opinions. i liked it & would rate it 3 of 5 stars.if u didnt like it thats fine,too! Im not here to play movie critic! paix et amour! :0)
@montereyhippie OK, maybe I shouldn't have said content doesn't factor in at all. Instead, let me say that, yes, it's a base, but it is not what makes something great. Was "Godfather" great because it was about a gaster family and their lives during a war? No, it was great because the actors and director and everyone else did a GREAT job executing their plan. Look at "Grown Ups", a movie that could've been great had someone done their job properly.
@Rosebunse i think content & execution r equally important! u can have a movie where the actors r great but if the plot or story is bullshit u get lost & wonder what the hell was the director trying to say w/that particular film! or u can have a great story to b told but the actors r shit! as for the godfather, i cant comment on that movie since ive never seen it. im not n to mafia movies & dont understand y america glamorize those ppl. as for grown ups, i never heard of that movie!
@montereyhippie If you had watched "The Godfather" then you would know that it doesn't glamorize gansters at all. And making a crappy plot good is part of execution. A plot can have everything, but if it's not done well then there's no point. I would rather see a bad plot made interesting then a good plot go through the motions.
@Rosebunse the movie is about mobsters,yes? right, thats what i thought! & i said idk y AMERICA glamorize those ppl not "the godfather"! although im sure if i watched it, i would see the movie glamorizing them too! & a crappy plot is a crappy plot, there is no making it good! its already written & its not like the actors can change it! (they probably would b no better at writing the script,anyway!) all they can do is act it out brilliantly! which will make u say that the movie was shit but the
@Rosebunse acting was great! which it seems to me that u were saying something to that effect about this movie! that proves my point! they r equal! no 1 wants to see a shitty plot w/great acting bcuz the plot will get boring & the acting can only hold ur attention for a while! & vice versa no 1 wants to see a great plot w/shitty acting bcuz u'll get tired of the terrible acting & the plot can only hold ur attention for awhile! ok? i told u im not here to play movie critic,y r u keeping it going?
@montereyhippie Actually I kinda wanted to see how long this could go before either one of us went nuts, or we got reported for spam or something. I'm actually really surpirsed we got this far. Besides, I'm a white chick in the African American dorm at my college. I basically get stoned ANY time I say something bad about The Secret Life of Bees LOL! It was fun doing this so long.
@Rosebunse the blk girls probably dont have a problem w/the fact that u dont like the movie, they probably dont like that u insist its about how racism is wrong! i was also taken back by that statement which is y i asked if u were wht! i dont have a problem w/ u not liking the movie! we r all entitled to our opinions...but ur comment made me curious!
lmfao when u said "i basically get stoned ANY time..." 1st time i read it, i thought no wonder shes keeping it going, shes high! lol I had...
@Rosebunse to reread it to realize that u werent talking about that kind of stoned!! :)
too bad!
anyway, i have no problem w/ u not liking the movie! & i still believe whole heartedly that content & execution r equal but again, we're entitled to our opinions!!
I saw mary she was walkin' on the water,smilin' at me and humming her river song.I tried waving but she was walkin' away.she said that'd she'd been waitin on me all...day...long (instrumental)
I tried to call her said,"Please come back cuz' i didn't mean to make you sad she said,"Don't you worry cuz' i'll see you again and i hear my mother calling and i have...to go...
Thanks Jgirl, its funny you had just commented and I was trying to record my version of this song in the rain. I love the rain, and this song is so cool.
this song is soo beautiful. i listen to it when i type my most recent story. i heard it watching "the secret life of bees" with my mom (i know dorky,right? lol)
i love this song so much i heard it in the secret life of bees and dearched everywhere for it i thought it was jhon mayer then i thought it actually sounds like robert pattinson but i was wrong beautiful song
I tried to call her said "please come back" because i didn't mean to make you sad she said "Don't you worry,I'll see you again.But i hear my mother call,and i have to go."
it makes me want to cry. something about it is jus so beautiful. its lovely and its like mary talks to you. well not the mary he is singing about but mary the mother. I love it so much.
Ugh I wish he made the song longer ;(
