Film Review: The Help By Tate Taylor

This movie took a very unique approach. It separated two classes of people, whites and blacks. They were separated by, what I believe is the greatest degree of separation today, money. In the movie the only people in the upper class were black and the main family in the movie was

I found it to shed a light of all the events that has been happening throughout the country today. The film discusses how they redesigned the racial past. This film has shed light on what life is like for African Americans during and after the 13th amendment in the Unites States. It addressed how black people ended up in jails from laws purposely to put them there to suppress them and not to gain equality. It showed the movements of how people fought to be free and what it took then, to get as far as they are today although there’s a long way to go.

The importance of this film is that it puts the issue of racism and oppression in your face in such a way that it forces you to take an honest look, not just at the systematic oppression and racism experienced by African Americans, but also at how black lives in America are still undervalued as a result. In addition to this we are made aware even moreso that not much has changed for blacks in the sense

The Help written by Kathryn Stockett is about a white woman, Skeeter with the help of the maids, writes a novel about what it is like to work for white families and raise their children. Telling the maids’ point of views and also exposes a lot of the truth but dirty secrets. By maids

First, in the opening of the movie, we see a battle that give a sense of brutality, the brutality was there to show the shocking realty of civil war. However, the purpose of the movie is to show the loop of inequality and injustice that have very tragic consequences and shaped the structure of the inequality in American societies on the earlier time. In addition, it approve the idea that blacks and whites had equal rights. As Lincoln says, “Slavery, sir, is done.” It is very simple idea to accepted now, but back then it took 150 years prove.

The help is a movie about race, gender and class inequalities in Jackson Mississippi during the 1960’s. It is told from the point of view of a young writer named Skeeter. She was born into a middle-class family who’s servants and maids are called “The help” and are exclusively African American and treated as if they were diseased and below any white American. The maids did the cooking, cleaning and even raising white children as if they were their own. Skeeter recognized this as a problem and decided she wanted to write a book about the struggles of a black woman’s experience being in service to white women.

This movie first begins with Martin Luther King Jr. winning the Nobel Peace Prize and then shows four black girls who were killed by a bomb. Also at the beginning it shows a black lady who gets rejected from her right to vote. This is where Martin who is an activist and church pastor for the black community then shows his motivation to get blacks there right to vote. This is a very dangerous job for martin because whites do not want blacks

The help is a drama film produced in 2011 that highlights the relationship between African American maids and their employers in the days civil rights. The film reveals the perception that the maids had concerning their bosses (Ebert, 2011). The help presents a story on how two African American maids, Aibileen Clark and Minny Jackson, motivated a young white woman, "Skeeter", to publish a book on their story. The film reveals that the book that the young woman wrote became one of the best-selling books and transformed both her life and the life of her mother.

The movie “The Help” was based In the early 1960’s in Jackson, Mississippi. During this period of time it was very segregated, very much so that whites did not want African Americans to have contact with them, but were expected to fully take care of their children from birth to adulthood. Most of the African American maids later developed a strong bond with the children that they looked after. They tried teaching the kids to see no color, just to later witness them grow up to be brainwashed by the world to think of African Americans as less than. Except for one southern girl named Skeeter Phelan, who saw the equality in everyone. And one day she decided to interview the maids to get their perspectives on life and to get their story out to the world. At first the maids were hesitant because it would be serious consequences if anyone knew who exactly spoke up, but Skeeter did whatever she could to make sure all the maids were anonymous and no one knew. She risked many hardships like losing her relationship with her boyfriend and also building tension with the women of the Junior League. Successfully the maids stories got out and it opened eyes little by little.

To explain the movie plot, we must remember that the film takes place in the south during the Civil Rights era. In the

The two black maids, Aibileen Clark and Minny Jackson, tells their side of the story to a young white woman, Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan, who is a journalist who decides to write a book from the maids point of views. Skeeters intention for writing this book is exposing the racism they receive while working for white families in Jackson. Aibileen Clark takes care of white children and helps raise them and cleans around the house, while her best friend, Minny Jackson, is an outspoken black maid but has a quick short temper which gets her into trouble later on. Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan is a white single independent woman, she earned a double-major

I hate The Help, both in the form of a book and a movie because a majority of the book was either inaccurate or could have been portrayed better. The Help is a story is about a white women who interviews black maids about their lives and what it is like to work for a white family. This story has an amazing plot and has great potential to become something powerful. If this story had rather been written realistically, I would

In this film Taylor brings the characters from Kathryn Stockett’s novel, The Help to life by telling the story of a young white women that dreams of becoming a journalist and two African American women who after much convincing, agree to tell their stories of what being “the help” is actually like.
