Positive force

Coincidentally, I finished reading the original book last summer. At that time, I wondered what would happen if such a book was made into a movie? !

Watching the movie alone is really inspiring. The overall tone of the movie is warm and clear. It respects the original work very much. I like the character milly the most, and he is the one closest to the prototype. He is bold and bold in his cooking skills and kind in heart. The ending is beautiful and positive. The baby cried at the window, and the maid burst into tears but became strong inside.

There are some differences from the original

book : 1. Regarding Skeeter's first love boyfriend, the original text spent a lot of pen and ink describing Skeeter's unforgettable love, day and night thinking and pain. The boyfriend’s disagreement is probably due to his political background. His father seems to be a senator. From his bones, there are still different racial concepts between blacks and whites

. 2. Movies and posters are bright and bright, but my head is when I read the original. There was a murderous atmosphere, including skeeter sneaking around to the back door of the maid's house at night, how to park the car far, and how to keep people from discovering. Also, if you print secretly at home, you should beware of your family members. Including calls with New York, he was also very careful. At that time, it was discovered that many black people were killed and persecuted. It was really panic

. 3. The little baby went to the toilet, and it was very smooth in the movie. In the original book, the small and medium-sized babies are very dependent on the maids and refuse to use their own toilets, so they have to use the maids' toilets. For mothers, a girl can use the toilet herself is also one of the signs of growing up. If this paragraph is strengthened a little bit, it can echo the paragraph that the white people want to build an independent maid's toilet.

    It's like a suffocating incubator, trying to use gated communities to reflect the tensions of the apartheid era. Many times, people can be moved with affection, but even real events seem to have a sense of distance, because no matter whether it is good or bad, it is partially magnified, and the characters appear less convincing. Love and justice against ugliness and hate, more like an easy-to-understand adult fairy tale.

    I'm most afraid of watching such a movie. It's obviously boring, and I can't swear. I can't sit still after seeing it for 20 minutes. I have to bite the bullet and endure the next two hours of suffering.
