THE HELP MOVIE POSTER (AUGUST 2011)

Inspirational...Phenomenal...Wise...You feel the soul of that time period. It tugs immediately at your heart like a slow, strumming guitar.


Picture 1963...during the twentieth century in Mississippi its surrounded around All American upper class families and they have African-American maids coming to raise their children. Yet there's a twist to the story they are allowed to raise their children they can be doting, loving, attentive, affectionate, and compassionate. They can build their self-esteem and also give them the proper care they need...yet there's one thing they aren't allowed to use the restrooms of the employers. They are permitted to go to what is known as a potterpotty today.
They are treated like second class citizens but they're primarily the ones responisble for raising the children of these people.

That's the part of the story where a young, aspiring journalist named, Skeeter who decides to give the maids a chance to share their story. I loved this part because this really made me see that at that time it was about taking risks, being bold, you needed powerful leaders to get to where you wanted to be and so you can have a chance to prove you deserve more, equality was what our leaders fought for at the time. I loved Skeeter's character cause I saw a bit of her spirit in myself too. She reminded me a lot of where I would like to be in my life.

At the same time she showed and proved that women like that are what make America what it is today having the freedom to your own life, your own career, you become you're own person.  That was inspirational. The other characters Aibileen, Minnie, Celia, and Hilly were all full of richness and very well written characters. I loved Mae Mobley the adorable little girl who is taken care of by Aibileen such an adorable little child. She made me lose it in the movie theater in one part of the movie. So be ready for kleenex.

Aside from just everything put together it appears each character was written perfectly, a rich story was being told, and the people who played each character were played well in each of their roles.
I loved the backstory and the setting as well because you feel like you know them in a way too.

Heartwarming it pulled at my heart strings and I cried a bit because on a personal level it warms your heart the story, what they went through, the history, the struggle of racism, civil rights, and social class too. 

HBS's rate (Honey Brown Sugar's rate for "The Help" five stars) We may see an Oscar nomination in the future. I hope so it was that good.

Go see it and take your mothers, girlfriends, wives, sisters, cousins to see it and do a ladies luncheon and get a slice of Chocolate pie lol!!! Inside joke.
