    AND THIS IS #TheDoubleTax. It's why the movie "The Help" irks me to no end. Not only are women the backbone of taking care of kids, parents, elderly, disabled, sick, etc., but women of color disproportionately bear that burden especially for white families. bsky.app/profile/jess...

    We live in a country that *has* A24, but this is not an electorate with A24 tastes. This is a country that put "The Help" in the Netflix top 10 after that cop choked the life out of George Floyd. Kimmel ... appeals to that demo.

    All white people “fighting “ for Palestine are nothing but white characters from book/ movie the Help. Pretending to care about people milion miles away, while ignoring struggles at home. And I say that as a white woman.

    It reminds me of a scene from the movie "The Help".. But that was between an ignored white baby girl and her loving black maid/nanny in the early 60s in Mississippi. True love sees no color, no disability. This mom is wonderful in every way possible. ♥️

    What is it about the You're Gonna Lose That Girl bit in the Help movie that captivates me? I think it's because it's the closest thing to a MTV music video. It looks like it was created outside of the 60's. Truly timeless performance.

    In the 2011 film The Help, the line “Minnie don’t burn no chicken” is spoken by Minny Jackson (played by Octavia Spencer) to Celia Foote (played by Paula Patton) during a scene where Celia suggests burning chicken so Celia's husband wouldn't know Celia has hired a maid.

    Sound, music, acting, sets, and camera are good in this movie but I do have concerns what the story is saying about african americans. Which is amazing as at its core it's your typical "good" vs "bad" guys story with a bit of romance sprinkled in but somehow manages to still portrait the underdogs good guys (black maids) as terrible people while most actions by the antagonists (white house wives) aren't really that evil if you think about it. For example: One of the maids asks her boss for a…

    I hadn’t quite realised the extent to which racial segregation laws permeated into every day life, especially when a black person couldn't cut a white child’s hair or write anything remotely disparaging about their white brethren. “Skeeter” (Emma Stone) returns from college and decides there might be a way around this. She will write the book, but a selection of women from their Mississippi homes will provide the meat for this literary sandwich. These women are maids who all have stories to…

    Great watch, probably won't watch again, and can recommend. To be fair, you should watch this prepared for what it is: a racial suffrage movie. That means that it is filled with racism and unfair strife, and stupid jerks of the elite class that are under the impression that they can still buy and sell people because they do. This is a fantastic movie, but it is a heavy, serious story, and the humor in it barely makes it more palatable in that regard. The cast is filled with great actresses who…

    I just watched The Help, almost immediately after finishing the book. Now, when comparing The Film to The Book it was based on (generally speaking), one major rule of thumb almost always applies: The Book is better. The Help is no exception. Accordingly, with the novel still so fresh in the back of my mind, separating my mind from the book in order to enjoy the film was an almost impossible task. No matter how hard you try, you just can't quit comparing the two, nitpicking every detail and…
