Taking place in the 1960s South, a young woman comes back to her home town, after college, where she's the black sheep because she has no man and want's to become a big time writer in New York. For the time being she settles for a columnist advice writing job for the local paper. Just like most white children of this time, she was raised by her black maid and she decides that she want's to write a book from the persepective of "The Help." Reluctantly black women jump on board for the idea but everything must be done in secret because it is against the law and their jobs, even their very lives, are at jeopardy for telling all the white folks' bussiness.
Overall this is was a very great film. The acting was greatly done by all parts. The black maids made you feel their pain and the white racist fold made you hate them. This is one of those films where black people will walk out hating every damn white person in the universe, I know I did, but then you come back down to life lol. I give this film 5 out of 5 stars because the acting was superb and the film did what it was meant todo; get a reaction out of the viewers and make you think.
This movie was actually based off of the book version, which I haven't read, but the film was so good that I'm sure the book was even better. Most times, it is. So, if you love to read, there is a book that came prior to this film. I'm sure it'll be a great read because this was a great film.
