Critical


The Help is a very good movie. There aren't a lot of films about racial segregation. The way that it's filmed, with the 2 maids who describe their lives and the fact that we can see them in the action. It allows us to see how they are treated by the white’s people. The fact there are children is renforced the idea of the hard working. The maids had to raise children, to wash the house and the garden and to cook for the wealthy whites owners. Movies about racism aren't current; it's for that we advise you to see it. It's a very good rather movie. The Help is a very touching movie because maids are poorly treated and in the scene when Aibeleen is fired. The little girl is very sad and she cries at the window level seeing from Aibeleen. Furthermore this movie treaty about an actual subject who touched a lot of peoples today in the world, so he lets goes a message for everybody. On another side, it was very funny because when the women read the book at the bed they are choqued and edgy about maids, she screams!

Our pitch: The Help is a period historical drama made by Tate Taylor in 2011. The film is adapted from the novel of the same name which was written by Kathryn Stockett. The main casting is mainly comprised of the very famous Emma Stone at the main character’s role and Viola Davis at the main black woman of the movie. The story deals with racial segregation in the USA. It tells the story of Skeeter’s fight against this segregation. She wants to write a book with the point of view of black maids: the two main women will be Aibileen and Minnie who are going to rebel in order to have a better treatment. Our review: The Help is a very touching movie which enables to make you think about the black people’s life conditions.
