Overall, I really enjoyed the film of Silence of the Bees. The movie had its ups and downs, but from my perspective it had a lot more positive things than negatives. The opening scenes of the film are very beautiful with the ocean and sun on its way down, hiding at a distance behind clouds. I also think that it was a very intelligent way to demonstrate how time had passed by with the other scene of the ocean and how the horizon had purple and orange rays disappearing.
The character who played the father, Parker, had a very rugged look that complimented the characters attitude and personality, which I believe made the film a lot better. I also really liked that the he looked rough and tough, but in the end demonstrated his sweet and tender side to his daughter. It made the connection between the two characters and their relationship as father and daughter more stronger and a bigger impact on the audience.
What I really didn't enjoy about the film was how Alex McKinzie would explode out of no where! Although, I think that it demonstrates how frustrated she was with writing and her fathers pushing of her to do it and the questions regarding it. I felt that at that point in the film she finally released her feelings about not going in the same way of career as her father. It wasn't so much of a negative, but more like on the fence type of thing that could go both ways.
The last thing that I will say that was a negative part of the film was that it was too short for me and left a lot of things in my mind wondering like whatever happened to them after the film finished. For example, I am not sure if I understood it right, but when they were talking about him dying and that she will try to write again after fifteen years of his death and then the bee stung him, I believe it was like if it was going to die at any point without knowing. I just wanted to know more and how they ended up in the end or if she ever returned to writing!
