      The Help--Discrimination Is Everywhere

      The little girl who took care of growing up became a white lady like her mother... Minnie said to her daughter, who dropped out of school to become a maid, when you make coffee for white people, put it on the table and don't hand it to them because you can't touch your hands, you can't talk back, you can't talk back, my girl... Minnie met a very good family this time, and the host was so kind. He invited Minnie to...

      "Help" is suitable for watching when you are very tired, there will be some comforting emotions

      This movie has been known for a long time and is in my collection.

      Seeing this movie will remind you of several other movies "Hidden Figures", the style and type are a bit similar, but the era is different. The same plot is that because of their skin color, they cannot share a bathroom with whites. When going to the toilet, they need to go through an entire building to go to the black-only toilet; they need to go to the open-air toilet outside the...

      White editor publishes what happened to a group of black maids

      Rainy days on weekends are the best time to make up for the drama. I just finished watching this "Help". Like the "Hidden Figures" I watched yesterday, it is related to racial discrimination. That one happened to NASA Kochi scientists, this one is What happened between white housewives and black servants all reflected the separation of eating and toileting, etc.

      Freedom if you can tell the truth

      Finished watching the movie in fragments of night and day

      The maid, who was brought up from childhood to adulthood, cried when she was fired. The loving and kind black woman encountered setbacks when the heroine was a child and took care of her in every possible way in her daily life. She gave her spiritual guidance and made the heroine independent. Strong and confident, there are too many commendable things in a simple person. In the end, the book...

      I like this kind of movie with bright colors and smooth plot

      I watched the movie "The Help" yesterday, and there was a small episode during the movie. There was an earthquake. I haven't felt such a strong feeling for a long time, but it's okay, I panicked for a few seconds and continued to watch the movie calmly.

      This movie is really good. It also tells the story of equal rights for blacks in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. The previous views on racial discrimination were limited to this point of view and did not have a deep...

      It's about helping the unequal status of black maids in the 1960s. Every time, I am moved by the fact that this country has faced up to its own wrong history and tried to correct them again and...

    Movie plot

    The story takes place in Mississippi in the southern United States in 1962, where society is still deeply shrouded in the shadow of "black slavery". Black servants still exist in many families and have encountered unequal treatment. The 22-year-old white girl Skeet Phelan (Emma Stone) is an ordinary girl who grew up in this land. Today, she has completed her university studies and returned to her hometown. Having received a good...

    Create background

    The film "Help" is adapted from Catherine Stockcott's novel of the same name published in 2009. Once the novel was published, it received great praise and rave reviews. Today, when the president of the United States is already black, creating another novel about racism that took place in the 1960s does require a certain amount of courage to "risk the world". Catherine is not young. Born in 1969, she has been working in the publishing...

    Shooting process

    Because for a long period of time, Mississippi was the "hardest hit area" of racism in the United States. Out of respect for history, out of consideration for the content of the novel, and the tax system in the United States, the film crew gave up the planned location in Louisiana and rushed to Mississippi to shoot the film.
    Greenwood, the film’s original planned location, is an underdeveloped area. In Taylor’s description, this place...

    Evaluation action

    "Help" is definitely not only a classic that exposes the ugliness of the times, it should be praised as "a stunning, warm and sweet song of hope". (Tencent Review) 
    The roles of the three women in the film are portrayed extremely plump. In a sense, these characters made this movie. The actor's performance is also very good. (Hubpages website review) 
    "Help" should never be positioned as a classic that exposes the ugliness of the...
