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.

It is a amazing movie about history. I love it. You should watch it. I recomend it to every body. go sceeter!!
This movie was very good, Emma Stone was amazing as were the other actors. Since I saw it before I read the book I did not know what to expect, like I didn't know about the pie. My mom saw it after she read the book and didn't enjoy it as much, so I would recommend you see it before you read the book.- bake4everabout 12 yearsTHIS IS THE BEST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE TO ANYBODY I SEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS FUNNY AND VERY DRAMATIC YOU MIGHT WANT A PARENT IF YOUR UNDER 8 OR 9 BUT ITS THE BEST MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST MOVIE OF THE DECADE! it is such a good movie and teaches one of the most important lessons ever: slavery. it's in the century when we had slavery. This white woman wants to write about what it's like to be a slave and tries to get slaves to say it themselves. They're to scared they'll get caught because back in the days if they talked to other white people about their work and got caught, they would lose they're job and usually the owners tell other owners so you'll never get a job again. This is also a bestselling book but it's for the ages 18 and up. The movie due to some words, is probably for kids 10 and above.
