After watching the full movie in one sitting-- I couldn't help myself but to directly write my thoughts about it. And rarely this happens to me, simply because writing a review for a certain movie would often leave me wondering about what to say about it. However this one, succeeded into making me feel the humor, wonder and closure in one full length film. The Help is as pretty and as lovely as it was engaging for viewers to watch. At first, I didn't really know what to expect, but as the story dived in further, I found myself glued to my seat. Right after, I was informed through the credits that it was based from a novel, which made it all the more exciting. Now, I've gotten myself curious as to how different or similar the book in contrast to the one on screenplay. And to be perfectly honest, if the directors were able to write a screenplay this good, as well as produce a very interesting movie, I think there is a lot more to read about the book. Nonetheless, Emma Stone and the rest of the cast did a wonderful job! And if I must say, if there are any parts of this movie that I've enjoyed the most-- it would be the black american's perspective and the struggle to find strength just to say that one simple word in the face of adversity. "Eat mah sh#$T" Overall: Awesome! Hoping to be able to find more movies like these in the future!

When I was in high school, my Speech Teacher/Forensics Team Coach gave me this book to look for monologues. He told me that it was a great read, too! However, I didn't want to read it or find a monologue within it. I let my sister borrow it, and I returned it back to him. My sister loved the book! Then, they made the movie... Boy, I kicked myself for not reading it or finding a monologue.

It was a very good movie that depicted the lives of black maids back during the time of Martin Luther king Jr. It shows their rough lives and how a woman plans on publishing a book about their lives and experiences. The black people were treated very inhumanly in those days, sometimes seen as property. This movie did a great job at showing all of this happening. The acting was great, the history was accurate, and you felt part of their story. The ending was happy and sad, but you enjoyed it the whole time. It had many very funny scenes too!!! Many that you will be repeating for days!!!!

this movie was my grandmother favorite movie. it was like it hit home for her. due to the fact that it is a part of history that is kind of swept under the rug. the actors was amazing. the story line and plot was just beautiful. you see the movie actually showed what life was back in the day. meaning how they had to keep a smile on their face no matter how they was being treated. which still goes on till this day. you have to keep a smile on your face to make others feel safe. it was a well rounded educational movie depending on how you look at it.
