Speaking of this, I have to return to the topic of film critics. The awards season is the busiest time for film critics. I have always felt that film critics are a laborious, thankless and self-destroying profession. The film was born as a kind of entertainment. Even though it has become more and more profound over the past 100 years, its main purpose is still entertainment. Art film shootouts. Romance films are only segmented in this entertainment market for different audiences. So every time I see a movie, I must compare it horizontally and vertically. Critics who talk about the success or failure of the details find this posture so strange and hard; their hard work is not like high school students dancing in shackles. That kind of hard work, but at the same time of harsh scrutiny, forgot the original joy of watching the movie, or put it in the second place.
Speaking of "THE HELP", friends who have studied history know that the United States once launched a Civil War because of the contradictions between whites and blacks. "Gone with the Wind" is a story that happened in that environment, serving Miss Scarlett. Everyone must be impressed by the black mother who ties her waist tightly. The era when "THE HELP" took place was not so raging. It showed the peaceful and prosperous age of the southern United States in the 1960s. The bright yellow posters were vibrant and directly told you that this was a story that took place in the sun. The living conditions of these groups are transparent and open, as verified by the scorching sun in the south. In the small town, the southern ladies are embracing their own quiet and good lives-organizing gatherings of ladies and ladies, organizing irrelevant charity dinners, shopping for makeup, and throwing young children to the black nanny. Seeing some film critics at the beginning of the article that the southern girl in China and the southern girl in the United States are completely different in temperament as the topic, Rotten Wood couldn't help laughing dumb, feeling a little nonsensical and blunt. In addition to the impression that Scarlett’s bold and bold personality left me when I was a child, I told me that the most famous writer representing southern culture should be Fitzgerald, who wrote "The Great Gatsby." In his short story The focus is full of enthusiasm and combat against the beautiful scorching sun in the southern countryside and the southern Xiaojiabiyu in the 1920s. My favorite back then was the "Bernie Cut", which was full of flavours about the grudges and grievances between the girls in the small town.
Looking at this movie, not to mention its racist theme, what impressed me the most was the vivid representation of the southern beauty of the last century in the movie. I like the translation of "Xiang Zhu". The word "Help" is more appropriate than the word "Help". Little Curly Skeeter helps the black maids who are regarded as relatives to open their hearts and record the grievances they hold in their hearts every day. In the earth-shattering "Black Slaves Calling the Sky", the black aunts helped Xiao Curun complete the first step of being an influential writer. They are no longer the little editors who imitated others' notes and reply after hiding in the newspaper's housework column. This kind of movie is very convenient to watch, because the director has found a substitute identity for the audience early, that is, the kind white girl Skeet who has been taken care of by a black nanny and has been remembered in his heart; every white southern girl is raised by his own black mother, and Their socialite mothers are busy with various entertainments and pretentious postpartum melancholy, just like Elizabeth’s little Lori recognizes the other black heroine in the film, Apollin, as her biological mother, Skeeter also has her dearest The person-Constantine, every girl can become the heroine in this environment, and the role of Skeeter is just more kind than they are set, understanding conscience and gratitude.
The two representatives of the black maids in the film are Ai Boline, who has lost her own son, and Minnie, who has an impulsive personality and is full of joy. The former started working as a maid to subsidize the household at the age of 14, and took care of a white woman for half of her life, but her child died tragically at the age of fair youth. She was angry but could not challenge her destiny of being a maid. The host’s toilet was expelled, and a cake that was tricky and bad for the host was made (this is the key clue and highlight in the second half of the film, not spoiler -_,-). This is what happened to Minnie at the beginning Dismal, the distinction between races cannot be despised, otherwise life will immediately reward you with a mouthful, but fortunately, Minnie’s personality is also informal, which is the difference between her and Apollin. This is not so much a film that is absolutely cheering for black people, but also a female group portrait film, because the director did not ignore the psychological activities of any party, and they were not seriously masked: in addition to the absolutely decent Aipollin among black people, there are also Unimel, who was forced to steal the ring in the design of the heroine Celie, was forced by life. There were also CELIA among the white men who came from the outside world to marry the town’s dream lover George and were scorned and despised by the town girls, whether it was a maid. Even white ladies and actresses have found their place in this movie. Skeeter is more like a man who threaded the needle in the story of whites and blacks.
The director of the film is an honest storyteller, and he puts an end to every Southern beauty in the film. This is the favorite way of dealing with people like me who can't see the open ending. Skeeter was forced to cut off the friendship of the white society in the small town because he wrote the life record of the rebellious black maid, and also ruined the love of the older spring, but in exchange for the respect and pride of his mother; the happiest is Minnie. I met CELIA, a new hostess who simply looks at people without tinted glasses, and helped the hostess learn to be self-reliant and calm in a small town; Apollin was finally fired by the white ladies who deliberately retaliated, and left her rearing with tears. A white child firmly believes that he has fulfilled his son’s will, and that there is a great writer in the family; the representative of the white wicked woman, Celie, also asked Apollin’s last full question, "You do everything to achieve your goals, you are like this. Aren't you tired?" Then, her eyes trembled hollowly; Elizabeth, who was weak and unintentional, also shed tears when she heard her little daughter crying and calling Apollin.
"Help" is a movie that can be watched with a joyful heart although the theme is serious. Its story is popular, even if you are not in that environment, you can still watch it with surprise, because it has been how long it has been on the surface. There is a simple healing movie where the good and the good repay the evil and the evil retribution, as well as those gorgeous flowery skirts and towering hairspray hairstyles. This colorful story that takes place in the dazzling sun can dilute the occasional traces of experience. Sadness. That is the best moment of a movie that is worth watching without losing the heart.
