The Help

Post by lorin »

Just saw this wonderful little movie. Deals with the lives of blacks and whites in Mississippi during the late 50's and early 60's. Very interesting perspective of the black domestic help that were raising the children of the affluent white families. Really well done. No big names for the most part. Sissey Spacek plays an elderly woman with dementia. A lot of humor in the movie.

Worth seeing.

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Have you read the book? I read it earlier this year, and I'm interested in how it compares.
