Film: The HELP

Year: 2011

Time: 146min

Rating: 8.0/10

Dramatic film, which appeared in the book novel by Kathryn Stockett.

A movie is at least strange because it's serious problem of racism in the middle of the 60 Mississippi.

Its story is based on literary namesake bestseller Kathryn Stockett, and leads us to the Age of Civil Rights in the United States of America, where we find Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan (Emma Stone), a young college student who decides to write a book about african-American maids working for wealthy white families, those families who treat them like slaves. The book creates a wave of controversy, but also forms a strong bond of friendship between her and the maids who interviewed and that helped write the book and break all the rules of the social season.

Personal Comment:

Is a movie worthy. Tries to escape a heavier approach, preferring to cling to stereotypes rather tiresome but, ultimately, to get past your message. It is the highlight for Davis and Spencer in their performances, however.
