The Help Movie Review

Emma Stone plays Skeeter, an aspiring journalist who returns home from college to find her family's lomg time help Constantine disappeared.

Skeeter sets about writing a secret book with the local black maids about what its like working for their bitchy white employers, from raising their chirldren who then grew up to despise them, to being forced to use separate bathrooms. The point of Skeeter's book is to make people see that people are just people no matter the color of the skin. 

Its obvious from the start that Skeeter is different to all her friends. While her friends are getting married and having babies - she can't seem to find a guy that appreciates her intelligence. No one in her cycle seem to realise that they need to take a stand against racism. Instead, they stick fast to their beliefs and support ridiculous initiatives like adding on a separate bathroom to one's house sot aht the maids don't use the same facilities as the families.

Of course the the task is not easy and it took some persuasion to get the maids onboard.

There is such deep history in the black/white relationship and this story beautifully shows the complex spectrum. 

This movie isn't just about racism and civil rights. It's about the employer employer relationship too. The movie is strong and real and touched something inside me. But mostly, the movie was about kind and good role models.

I cried, I laughed. I highly recommend this to everybody. My favourite movie of all time! 

The part about the pie is hilarious! I think the cutest was when the baby girl said "You is kind. You is smart. You is important"
