In the past three weeks, I have watched The Help at least seven times. It is easily one of my favorite movies. Not only does it combine the south and the sixties, but the lesson is amazing.

The Help
The Help is one of those rare stories that is uplifting, humorous, thought-provoking, and sobering all at the same time. The Help began as a novel by Kathryn Stockett, and her first novel at that. The Help is a story about Jackson, Mississippi, in the 1960's, and the relationship between black maids and the white women who employed them. The beautifully written novel touches upon the serious racial tension and racism of the time, and follows a young woman who dreams of being a journalist, as she records the stories, good, bad, and awful, of dozens of maids around town. The outcome of the book she publishes full of these stories, is, to say the least, controversial.
