Added 10/15/2009
Talk of the old man of the apiarist who protects the family who made the country town in the United States the stage. This is the polite production whose control was very effective, and especially Peter Fonda is wonderful. It becomes a candidate of academy Best Actor on this movie, or having got Best Actor, the Golden Glove Award, also gives a nod of assent. The narrative style of a movie is just going to carry out [ scent / of the U.S. movie of the beginning of the 70s ] that it is deterministically different that it can be dramatic, a great incident cannot be found, either and an indifferent old man's every day is drawn although there is not necessarily nothing on an indies movie of Japan, either. By for example, the marks which fought with the villain when the hero of "Fighting Mad" of the same Peter Fonda was young Then, this hero also drags the half the body lost in the Vietnam War, and lives in the country as the language which lives calmly as begun is changed or the gunman of "Unforgiven" of an intermediary is awkwardly alive in the country.
In the 70s, the hero of the Vietnam War return comes back to the country in the United States, fights by the villain and violence there, and will protect a family. The movie in which the hero of the psychology distorted just for a moment who says plays an active part formed one genre. Although a masterpiece will be "rolling Sander" There is a work group which should be said also on if it is Jonathan Demme's "Fighting Mad" mentioned previously even if it does not carry out reason attachment of Vietnam, the "U.S. raid movie" which Kurosawa Kiyoshi says is John Flynn's "THEOUTFIT." Not men with a macho hero but the men who rather undertook the crack to the heart and have fled from war or a city were heroes. When carrying out body present [ of the character said so ], the actor called Peter Fonda fitted in very much. And the thing which the movie of which time likes, or answering first of all, when asked ? were the raid action film which made the country in this United States the stage for me in the U.S. movie. The hero of "Ulee's Gold" does not do action using flesh any longer. However, in one point of protecting one's family, for the first time in [ which Peter Fonda performs / of the man passing middle age / solitary fighting ] was the existing once action hero itself with which the Vietnam return darkens.
Sylvester Stallone Although the heroes of the U.S. action film regained "strength" again by the appearance of Arnold Schwarzenegger I want to limit to memory what the 70s "a weak action hero" were. Supposing the Republican Party type heroes are Stallone and Schwarzenegger, Peter Fonda may be able to say that he was the Democratic Party (United States) hero.

Love this movie!!
Added 6/10/2009
Wonderful film. Have seen it several times and bought it as a gift for
a friend because she loves honey and I thought she would get a kick out of watching a good movie that had beekeeping in the background. The film is full of emotion but delivered with quiet charm. Heartwarming!!

this is not your 60's Peter Fonda
Added 5/12/2009
Peter Fonda here is more like his Dad than his famous Easy Rider 60's role.
His character is a hard working bee keeper who, when his TV broke, never bought anther one.
When the drug addict daughter -law comes home
you see a marked change in this family in a few short weeks.
I see this movie as Peter Fonda seeking redemption
for his past mistakes.
I liked the movie, but I think the truth is somewhere between the extremes of roles.

Sweet little film
Added 12/14/2008
I found the opening shot in this film chilling, and not because I found the bees disturbing. As the camera moves in to Peter Fonda's face, for a moment, he looks exactly like his dad....
As other reviewers have pointed out, the film is slow moving. If you're not the type to use honey because you're too impatient to wait for it to flow slowly from the jar, you probably won't appreciate what takes place here. But a tension develops in the first moments of the film that is nicely sustained until the very end. Further, there are some scenes in which the verisimiltude hits so close to home I found myself getting anxious. Anyone with a dysfunctional family understands that as each member makes poor choices, the entire family is affected in some way eventually. Enough said there.
Peter Fonda has come into his own in this film. I'd love to see him do more work like this.

The movie that began Jessica Biel's illustrious film career.
Added 5/30/2008
Let's face it, there's nothing illustrious about Biel's film career, but she's still the hottest face out there today, and honestly, is the only reason I initially watched Ulee's Gold (the TV synopsis said she was in it, thus, the reason I watched it).
Sadly, this is Biel in her first film, thus, before she became the beauty we all know her for today (I think she was an awkward sixteen year old when she made this movie). But Ulee's Gold pulls a trick out of its hat by actually having a solid plotline that supersedes any one actor's presence within the film.
The plot deals with Ulee, who is a beekeeper and who's raising two granddaughters due to their father spending time in jail and their mother who is on the run as a drug addict. The story escalates when two thugs, who were formerly associated with Ulee's imprisoned son, come looking for money they believe is hidden from a former heist, and seek Ulee as a source to where it might be.
This film was the centerpiece film at Sundance's 1997 Film Festival and still stands as an excellent example of independent film making.
