The Help is a drama movie rated PG-13 that was released in 2011. It was directed by Tate Taylor and based off of the novel by Kathryn Stockett. Right now it is available to stream on Disney+ and Netflix. Some actors and actresses featured in this movie are Emma Stone, Viola Davis, and Bryce Dallas Howard. I would personally recommend this if you’re into historical fiction, comedy and drama. I would give it a 5 star review.
The Help takes place in Mississippi in the 1960’s long after slavery was abolished, but people of color were still heavily discriminated against, especially women of color. These people were wrongly treated solely because of their skin color and, in the movie, it is clear that they are not allowed the same rights as the white southerners. The two women of color featured the most were the housemaids, Minnie and Abilene. They could get fired over little things, worked long hours raising the white employer’s children, and they cleaned houses for minimum wage. Eugina, an aspiring writer, plans to change this by attempting to publish “The Help” to bring light to these housemaids’ stories, but it won’t be easy. When Eugenia interviews these women, she discovers serious racial inequalities in her community. She also hears hilarious and scandalous stories about her so-called friends and neighbors. Life could get a lot harder and, quite frankly, dangerous for these women if their identities were to be discovered. This movie has something for everyone to enjoy. Trust me, you will not be disappointed with this movie.
