Jerry Seinfeld got too busy with the bee movie

I am not easily moved by cinema. I did not cry during “The Fault in Our Stars.” I did not laugh during “The Emoji Movie.” Then again, neither did anyone else. But never has a director so massively messed with my emotions than in “The Bee Movie,” or “La película de la Abeja” as I watched it. Although I did view the film in Spanish, and I am in no way proficient, semificient or even a little bit ficient in the Spanish language, words were not necessary to convey the emotions of the characters. Even if you were watching “The Bee Movie” on a car television in the backseat of a minivan on a stalled highway, you would still be able to tell that bee seriously wanted to procreate with that woman. If you think that’s disgusting for a children’s movie, watch it on Netflix and tell me I’m wrong. thesamohifishbowl@gmail.com. While the movie delivers Oscar-worthy performances from its starring cast and a plot without a single hole, there are some components I questioned. For example, why none of the bees were wearing pants to hide their bee genitals I will never know. I’m not familiar with the sexual anatomy of a bee – as no one else ever should be – so I don’t know how the decision of the bee’s wardrobe was made. One of the most glaring oversights of an otherwise perfect movie was the absence of a sex scene. I know for a fact that if a bee/human sex scene was included in this children’s movie, it would most certainly give “The Shape of Water” a run for its money.  Another amazing aspect of this film is the constant stream of jokes that will speed over the head of even the most mature child. Jokes such as: “This is your queen?; That’s a man in women’s clothes!; That’s a drag queen!” and “So you’re just gonna work us to death? We’ll sure try!” After 15 minutes it became glaringly obvious Jerry Seinfeld was out of ideas and realized he had the money to pull off the biggest, most epic practical joke of all time.  Props to him for that. I would analyze more quotes from this movie, but my brain sadly does not and will never have the physical capacity to understand the thought process behind them. Whatever drugs the writers were on took them to a place above the normal human psyche. While there are a couple flaws, they are completely unnoticeable when incorporated into what is probably the best movie of all time about a bee escaping his hive to find a better life and ending up falling in love with a human woman for some inexplicable reason. If this is your type of movie, give it a try. I don’t know if Netflix pays the creators when people watch it. Ultimately, this film presents the obvious point that Jerry Seinfeld should not be given more money.
