Eu era burro demais para entender a mensagem desse filme.

No it doesn't

you are so right and should say it louder.

even as a kid who didn't quite understand english yet, i was confused by the message. wasn't it a good thing that the bees were no longer forced to work? what do you meant that, by no longer having the product of their labor stolen, the bees become lazy and unhappy? so the solution is to just go back to how everything was originally??

also!! vanessa, what the fuck sis, you supported barry from start to finish and have the AUDACITY to blame him for everything??????

OH MY GOODNESS. I literally wrote a paper on this, the entire plot of the bee movie is insane!!

I honestly think it was meant to be a symbol for pushing through and making it to the top, but it does it in the worst way possible.

Barry, a bee who has no idea what he wants to do, is forced by his bee society to pick what he's going to be for the rest of his life. When he finally tries to make a decision, they tell him that he's "not good enough", that "You can't just decide to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that." Then his parents try to convince him to "[go] into honey. Our son, the stirrer!"

So Barry, in an act of rebellion and wanting more, escapes with the Pollen Jocks the next day, but he gets trapped because it starts raining, and that is how he meets Vanessa. Vanessa is supposed to be like this "hero" in Barry's story, because when he talks to her, she tells him that her "parents wanted [her] to be a lawyer or a doctor, but [she] wanted to be a florist".

Also, side note, but I feel like the movie implies that Barry only wants to be a Pollen Jock because he thinks their job is important, and he wants to do something that actually impacts the hive.

And then it just spirals for no reason, because instead of Barry finding himself and using his new knowledge of the human world to figure out what he wants to be, the plot suddenly becomes "bees are being fully exploited and working nonstop just for humans to steal their honey". Which, to be fair, gives Barry the chance to do something important for his community. It is also important to mention that Vanessa fully supports his cause.

So Barry goes to court, and he wins. People agree that bees have been exploited for their honey, and that for reparations they should get all the honey humans took back. Yay! Woohoo!

Then the bees stop working, and suddenly there are no more flowers, which makes Vanessa lose her job. This pressures Barry into putting the system back into place in order to keep society functioning.

So by the end of the movie, the system is essentially the same. There might be a slightly better relationship between humans and bees, but Barry is now a Pollen Jock and a lawyer.

Now my question is, why reestablish the harmful system instead of creating a new one? Sure there was a time crunch, but the movie could have made it happen!!

We could have had this amazing opportunity to show Barry finding himself by building a new relationship between humans and bees rather than fixing the exploitative one. That could have been his real impact. Instead, it comes across as "keeping old exploitative systems is sometimes okay if it keeps everyone else happy" rather than "it takes one person to make a difference that impacts everyone positively.".

Also at the end why was he talking to the dairy cow, Barry we r not repeating this???

Ik this is a yap and a half but it like genuinely baffles me how they fumbled this movie so hard and turned it into a weird pro capitalist thing.

in that light its actually crazy how capitalist propaganda finds its way into... a bee movie.
