Went to see the film HELP there this weekend, It was great. It is based on a heart wrenching true story about a coloured woman who was a house maid. Set in Mississippi during the 1960s, Skeeter is a southern society girl who returns from college determined to become a writer, but turns her friends’ lives within a small Mississippi town upside down when she decides to interview the black women who have spent their lives taking care of mostly southern families.
Title: The Help
Movie Year: 2011
Director: Tate Taylor
Genres: Drama
This film is captivating and holds the viewers interest right through. There is also a book about this film and the film certainty lives up to book. I would definitely recommend it. Its quiet a tear jerker though so have the hankies at the ready!! It has a few funny elements to it also. It is just beautiful. I love the poster for this film. It shows Skeeter and her best friend Aibileen with their two maids who are the two who originally break the silence. Change begins with a whisper and that is what happens in this film. Aibleen is very opinionated and thinks that she is god’s gift and she can treat people like dirt.
