The story of "Helping Together" is first of all politically correct. It focuses on the black equal rights background, which is an enduring theme in the United States, praising justice, advocating fairness, and praising those who fight for their rights. Such films in the United States often choose to explain similar story lines from the perspective of different black classes. This time, the focus is on black maids. Enthusiastic black aunts often make a deep impression in American movies. In "Help", these lovely aunts raised white children with one hand, but they had to withstand the discrimination of that era, such as a separate toilet, after returning home. He may also be reported as an old punch by her husband. Yes, in the affirmative movement, there is the independence of blacks on the one hand, and the independence of women on the other. The black maids obviously combine these two points and are more inspiring. On the other hand, "Help" uses the entry point of maids to bring out the special features of the role of maids. They are also female nannies. They brought up white people, and when the children came to this world, there was no class. The concept of skin color, they only know that this black aunt raised herself hard, played with herself, coaxed herself when she was sad, and accompanied herself when she was happy. Gradually, these black maids brought up children with different skin colors and equal rights in their consciousness. In this way, the maid has become a unique entry point for the soft communication between blacks and whites in the film, making the "struggle" of the film less disturbing and bursting. Even the murder of the black background in the background is also brought by the news; Even Ming Ning, the maid who appears to be a radical defender of rights in the film, acts more like a prank. The white girl Skeet, as a well-educated, modernly conscious, and independent woman of that generation, also became the key to connect the lower class of black maids and the more white class at that time. In this way, this film is more tender and moving, there are conflicts between blacks and whites, but it also highlights the various mutual cares between blacks and whites. Skeeter grieves with the maids such as Abilene and Mingning. Move together, fight together, let more people know a group of cute black people with a book, and this is as important as black people taking to the streets to fight for their rights.
"Xiangzhu" also cleverly adopted a "dualism of good and evil" expression method that may not be recognized in the modern film academia, but is more acceptable to the audience. That is, the characters and standpoints are clear, the black maids are hearty and kind, Skeet is independent, brave and sincere, while the conservative southern women headed by Healy are mean and sinister, and the remaining southern women are often cowardly, cynic, and indecisive. . In short, the characters in this film seem to have no intermediate state, everyone is straight forward, the process is also very inspirational and stylized, and the characters appear to have facial makeup. Compared with movies like "Mississippi Burning", they are more profound. However, it is precisely in this way that the audience is easily infected, moved, and presupposes their own position (for modern audiences, it is obviously more presupposed to the positions of Abilene and the Skeeters), and is Substitute into the film, share the sadness and joy with their "endorsement" role, and enjoy the moment of elation together. And the direction of the film is bound to be bright. In the context of an affirmative movement, Skeeter published books about the lives of black maids. More people learned about the lives of this class. They felt dignified and dared to defend themselves. The dignity of "Help" also maintains a realistic perspective. Victory will not come suddenly. The conservative women in the south are still domineering and of course exhausted physically and mentally; Abilene was fired without gaining more trust from white employers. , Of course she felt freedom. This is a good start and a hopeful start. It is sunny and inspirational enough to make the audience feel at ease.
In fact, the Chinese translation of the film's "assistance" also reflects a kind of social class interaction. They are helping each other in the first place, either explicitly or implicitly, but they ultimately point to a win-win society. Black maids help employers, and more importantly, help a generation grow up, and they have also received more sincere treatment and help from this generation; Skeeter helps black maids tell their lives, and these black maids also give This gave her confidence and new career opportunities; the modern and alternative Celia gave Mingning a new job opportunity, and Mingning also gave her a new active lifestyle; the whites and blacks who were active in the affirmative movement at that time, Help each other to fight for more rights and interests for black people, but in fact, they are also helping to be more moving and build a more just and inspiring America and culture. Today, this culture has become a very attractive magnet in the world. . I still believe that the "help" behavior still conforms to the third law of mechanics, the force will produce a reaction force, and the final effect is "help", good behaviors will be contagious to each other, creating an atmosphere that inspires more good. Just as in the film, Skeeter’s mother, who was discussed by humans, made a regretful decision to expel the black maid who had accompanied her for more than two decades in a discriminatory culture. And Skeeter's courage and kind deeds eventually activated his mother's courage to express kindness, and finally obtained peace of mind.
