The Help (2011)
Aibileen Clark is a middle-aged African-American maid who has spent her life raising white children and has recently lost her only son; Minny Jackson is an African-American maid who has often offended her employers despite her family's struggles with money and her desperate need for jobs; and Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan is a young white woman who has recently moved back home after graduating college to find out her childhood maid has mysteriously disappeared. These three stories intertwine to explain how life in Jackson, Mississippi revolves around "the help"; yet they are always kept at a certain distance because of racial lines.

This movie is really awesome! It's really funny in some bits, sad, angry, and everything a good movie needs. It is totally realistic, and tells people how things were back in those days where some people weren't treated fairly.
This was the best movie ever! It was really funny and showed the truth about how hard life was back then for people. The book was also amazing. I love the pie scene!
