The Help is a historical depection of 1950s that focuses on the perspectives of black maids working for middle class white families. Eugenia (Emma Stone) wants to publish their accounts of the abuse they're going through, how it feels raising white children while on the job, and the overall atmosphere of the industry. This is a FANTASTIC movie! I bought the hardcover book with this blu-ray and already can't wait to compare them. The actors' performances are stellar. It's like Desperate Housewives for the 1950s. There's scandal, drama, prejudice, and the occasional comedic line. Everything is in just the right amount. I bought it for my entertainment since I enjoyed it so much, but I have also shown it in my ESL classroom to international students, who also were entranced by it. Give this one a watch. It's a modern historical classic. Blacks in America. black american in the 50's.
