Although the story of "The Help" took place in the Mississipi state in the southern United States in the 1960s, although it is about the Civil Rights Act movement of black people, although all of this seems to have nothing to do with my personal experience, this warmth All-female movies still deeply touched the deepest part of my heart, making me snot and tears from beginning to end, blood boiled, I can’t help feeling: this world really needs a large number of brave, wise, unruly women, otherwise it will Never have to go forward.

Although the pros and cons of the characters seem to be more facial makeup, although the sensational narrative techniques of the film are very classic, even like a Disney fairy tale, how to bravely stand up against social injustice is the subject of timelessness, especially In today's China. I found many characteristics of contemporary people (whether they are Eastern or Western) in the characters, and I also saw my own shadow in Skeeter and Minny...


In any era, vulgar and selfish people tend to occupy the mainstream for a while. They are unwilling to accept new ethics and lifestyles. They have chosen to follow the crowd, cynism and hypocrisy, and ostracism and insult to alternatives. They are afraid of the advancement of social thinking because it may threaten their comfortable status quo: Hilly, Miss Leeforce, Skeeter's mother and Skeeter's boyfriend Stuart in the film are representatives of these groups. But——

1. Brave girls, although they will obstruct you in every way and coerce you on the road to achieve your ideals, please don't forget that they are actually cowardly surrenders. They don't have your clear mind to recognize the misunderstandings of this world, and they don't have your courage to declare war on bad habits. Their thoughts will eventually be eliminated, but you are the hero who builds a better future.

2. Therefore, please stick to your sense of justice and independent thinking ability. Don't regret choosing brave, kind and sharp. Don't be afraid of being misunderstood, afraid that someone will say you are weird or stupid, and fear that society will reject you. Although Skeeter and Minny seem to be two impulsive and imprudent newborn calves, they not only helped the disadvantaged to gain an equal vision, but also helped the strong to see their absurdity. Your persistence will eventually help those mainstream societies realize their stupidity and help them become more enlightened. Please keep on, to help the world to change.

3. Mom is indeed the person who loves you the most in this world. She must have sacrificed a lot for you and her family. She asks you strictly or even harshly for you to be better at To survive in this sinister world, she is also trying to protect you all the time... You have to be grateful to her, and more importantly, take good care of her and return her. However, this does not mean that you must follow her as an example and choose the same lifestyle as her. You do not necessarily have to marry a well-behaved man in order to pursue a life of ease and tastelessness. You can walk your own way and live more wonderfully than her. This is the meaning of life. Just like the old maid Constantine said to Skeeter, "Her life had chosen your mum, but you will choose your life. You can really do something really big."



Personally, "The Help" is full of light and The movie of hope. When I feel confused about my future and lose confidence in the world, I must read it again and remind myself that our current rights and interests are obtained through hard work by the brave predecessors. History has proved that their efforts have not been in vain.

    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.

    Although the movies about racial discrimination have their own differences, they can always bring us the same shock and emotion.
