The Help (2011)

Rated PG-13 146 min - Drama
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.

            I really enjoyed this movie, because it tells you how slaves were treated. It also tells you how slaves didn't have a right to do a lot of stuff.

                this is a movie that shows historical fiction of how black people were discriminated and treated badly and poorly. i am glad that the black people are now treated better. my best friend is black so i am glad that she will not have to worry about living in certain places.
