The Help=***** ( Epic! You must see! )
The Help starring Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Octavia Spencer is an extremely believable story revealing the portal of the relationships between people of colored skin and white skin in the south set in the early 1960's. This movie is an emotionally shocking film showing the inequality of the white home owners and their help. I saw the movie first which propelled me to read the book.
This movie is set in Jackson, Mississippi during the 1960's. Skeeter Phelan ( Emma Stone) a libeler graduate from college, just got a job to write the cleaning tips column for her local newspaper and is determined to write a story from the prospective of the help. She was brought up by her colored nanny, Constantine. She can’t pin down the reason why Constantine (Cicely Tyson), the beloved family maid, was let go. (fired) The relationship between Skeeter and Constantine was clearly closer than Skeeter’s bond with her own mother.
Aibileen Clark (Viola Davis) has raised 17 white children in Jackson during a time when she lost her own son. Throughout the story Aibileen is the nanny for Mea Mobely and becomes her second mother.
Minny Jackson (Octavia Spencer) is the most fiery and explosive of the maids. Her big mouth gets her fired many time throughout the story including her last incident involving a chocolate pie.
This movie was rated 8.1 out of 10 stars by IMDB (The Internet Movie Database) and rated PG-13 for Language and Violence.
