The Reel Deal
The Help(rated PG-13) - starring Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Bryce Dallas Howard, Octavia Spencer, Allison Janney, and Jessica Chastain - along with a superb supporting cast!
This film is a docudrama of sorts - a riveting story of racial bias, strife and unrest in Jackson, Mississippi, during the 1960s, as well as the birth of Tea Party Republicanism. Those attending this movie will not see themselves here, though, as they are like Hillie(Howard), and oblivious to who and what they are.
The Black hired-help(maid/nanny-slaves, actually) are inspired by their dire circumstances, evolving social mores, and local journalist Skeeter Phelan(Stone) to assist in writing a book about their lives, from their own point of view. The twisted path taken is only too sad to be the truth that it is, but they remain strong, and the book is eventually published.
This film will be nominated for many Academy Awards - including Best Picture, Best Adaptation, and Best Director. And the certain winner for Best Supporting Actress will be either Viola Davis(Abilene Clark) or Octavia Spencer(Minnie Jackson.)
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll rejoice - and if you're a Tea Partier you'll think of the social services wasted on an undeserving public, but if you have any money that the Tea Party hasn't yet taken from you, use it to see this film. I'm just sayin' - 'cause it doesn't need my Help!
