"Tell the Bee" between the green fields and the green onions of spring, and the haunting, dark and low street houses, the contrast between the bright emotional highlights and the obscure bitter reality, there is a tendency to over-amplify the idealization of emotions, and there is also a suspicion of scandalizing the entire atmosphere and the male group. The rescue method of the film's climax is too naïve, coincidental, and seems to carry supernatural mysterious power; whether it is to refute the harsh environment or deliver affectionate eyes, it seems to lack a tremor that reaches the soul, but the film narrates the mother's story from the perspective of a child, forming a unique perception between the relationship between man, nature and social discipline.
<h1>The Marginal Perspective: Vague Cognitive Attribution</h1>
The public opinion situation of the two female protagonists in the movie is always crushing their old-fashioned life in the classical pastoral mood. Holliday Grainger, the younger sister of the old "Family of Perma", plays a desperate single mother, and Anna Paquin, a little girl in "X-Men", grows up to play a female doctor who has been away for many years and returns with a secret after her father's death.
Two female characters, one with the indulgence, pleasure, and inexplicable cheerfulness of the ming dynasty and not asking only about the Ming Dynasty, were not tolerated by the cruel society that paid attention to the face of etiquette at that time; the other prematurely broke away from the "housewife" attribute of women and became a female doctor with "men's version of rationality and skills", which is equally difficult to accept.
The former was bound by the so-called "concept of chastity", the latter was bound by the decadent concept of "talentlessness is virtue", one was an abandoned marginal person, the other was a forerunner who was spurned and suspected, and they all went to the gray area where the social concept at that time was difficult to tolerate.
Single mother because of the lover and family breaks, unmarried pregnant child followed the lover to his hometown, but he abandoned, in the textile workshop for a living, even can not pay the rent; female doctors obviously have the ability to have enthusiasm to see a doctor, but by the patient's family spit "you can't tell me how to treat my daughter."
They are all in an unhappy life, with conscious or unconscious expectations, one in the teenage years and after the tragedy of the lover, looking forward to having a new life, the other in the noisy factory dream of a dream of dance music, always hoping to have a touch of romantic joy outside the rough and low-quality life of industrial crushing.
Two desperate marginal people, before they have the rational cognition that "love has nothing to do with gender", have supported and loved each other in a difficult life.
However, whether it is their own rational cognitive level, or in dealing with how to confess to the child, neither of them has been able to establish a clear and courageous "I am not guilty" consciousness, until the final farewell moment at the train station kiss, is the bravest oath and self-defense. People who have been hiding from their neighbors for years and suffering from gossip finally have the strongest strength: they can be separated from their loved ones, but no one can deprive them of the right and freedom to love in their hearts.
This kind of hindsight, vague and obscure sense of identity in adult consciousness will lead to more disastrous consequences when it comes to parent-child education and the cultivation of children's cognitive models.
<h1>Children's Perspective: Natural Nature and Civilized Discipline</h1>
The children in the film have been oscillating between natural nature and man-made domestication.
The mother's ability to intersect with the female doctor stems from the child's natural closeness to the female doctor, he inexplicably likes this gentle and quiet and somewhat introverted aunt, likes the story of the "bees and secrets" she tells; young children often have the most direct and sharp but also the most unreasonable precision, but in the process of growing up in a child who does not understand, he is bound to face a process of socialization and "normalization" that seems to understand, during which he contacts and "infects" the vulgar denigration of same-sex feelings. It even inexplicably breeds a sense of shame about intimate behavior.
Whether it is the vocabulary of love between a little boy and a little parrot, or the sound and color of a dietary man and woman they should not see in the suburban woods, or the crazy scream of the partition wall when the women in the family are forced to have an abortion, these adult worlds fail to clearly and clearly handle love and fertility-related matters, and in a bloody and barbaric way into a teenager's cognition. The film has a particularly vivid and curious filter for the boy's snooping vision, but it also carries a depressed, morbid anxiety, and the story is always missing on how to teach children to understand love and understand gender.
The child's mother has a good relationship with him, but the mother herself has not yet been able to correctly face her emotional situation, unable to establish a set of self-consistent emotional concepts and cognitive systems, so it is impossible to communicate positively with the child; the child's father is in a long-term absence, representing barbaric, rough stereotypes and forces, after the incident, the momentum comes to the door to abuse or abduction, and the treatment of the child will only accuse and insult the child without manhood.
On the one hand are tragic women with a dream mentality but unable to support them, and on the other hand are miserable and pitiful people who collapse their minds under the crushing pressure of life and then further harm others.
The basic color of the story is somewhat similar to Lawrence's "Mrs. Chattley's Lover", the miner's father toiled all day and had no concept of aesthetic happiness; and somewhat similar to "Madame Bovary", who longed for romance and married a rude materialist.
In Tell the Bee, the father is even worse, not only is he stupid but also irresponsible to the family, and the mother is more with a bit of Dionysus-style carnival romance.
In any case, such a family cannot give the child the correct education, so the treatment mode in the film is to lead him into a pure natural realm similar to the "supernatural" through the female doctor, and in the relationship and whispering with the bees, he feels the most free and original state.
In the end, the boy's big rescue of his mother was also completed by the bees, and the swarm of bees seemed to be able to understand people's prayers and instructions, and the black pressure and pressure rose up into the sky, successfully saving the heroine from the hands of the scumbag husband.
On the other hand, the female doctor successfully healed the poor woman who was about to die of heavy bleeding in the male protagonist's home, and gained the understanding and gratitude of the people who originally spurned her; the story reached the most cruel juncture, suddenly and gently turned, the mother and the child danced in the bee swarm, and the female doctor's career was thriving and her profession gained value recognition. This is undoubtedly the dissolution of the cruel refutation force, and it is another form of "Heavenly Descent Guanyin Soldier", which leads to ambiguity in the tone of the film.
Of course, the movie did not end with a "reunion", after the dawn first appeared, the ending was a different look, the two said goodbye at the train station, kissed for ten thousand years.
<h1>A pleasant conclusion</h1>
The most cruel passages in the film are undoubtedly the female doctor's memories of the young people who killed her and the girl, the cruelty of the heroine's husband's family to her daughter's forced abortion, and the cruelty of the husband and wife when they met each other in the past.
Female doctors gradually establish a relatively sober cognition, and single mothers gradually dare to reveal their emotional choices to their children, but most of the people in the story are under the iron wall of stereotypes, acting as the last straw to be crushed and crushed to death.
This is a story that needs to be "civilized", but the director finally chooses to attach himself to the natural "mysterious" power of the bees, on the one hand, the so-called "invisible avenue" of the nature of the law of heaven and earth, and on the other hand, it is inevitably suspected of over-idealization with the mud. On the contrary, the narrative texture of the adult son's voiceover makes people sigh, and the days are long and sometimes exhausted, and this hatred is endless.
