Review of The Help (2011) by Koundinya — 18 Jul 2012
A movie packed with powerful performances by all the actresses. The movie brings out the overly denied message of discrimination; the movie is set in the state of Mississippi, known for its unfair treatment toward the colored people.
Skeeter's an aspiring writer who needs one big break to enter the world of writing and decides to write about the unfair treatment of the women in her town, with the help of a domestic maid and as the bigotry exacerbates, more women come forth to narrate their tale of prejudice and wish anonymity.
It's an equal mixture of sombre and humor. Octavia Spencer was rightly awarded the Oscar.
