Last week, I watched The Help with the Alex, Libby and Alexander.
OH.
EMM.
GEE.
What a movie.
I wanted to watch it again right after but was told I didn’t have time to.
Last month I read this book and was smitten.
It reminded me a lot of my other favorite book, To Kill A Mockingbird.
The minute it was delivered to the house tonight it was opened and placed immediately into the Blu-ray player.
This film……inspiring.
After watching it, the Libby updated her Facebook status to:
you is kind
you is smart
you is important
This movie taught her things.
Things she was not aware of.
She never knew what things were like in the South during the 1960’s.
This film painted a very accurate picture for her.
Synopsis of the film:
The Help, the inspirational summer hit film people can‟t stop
talking about, arrives in homes just in time for the holidays, delivering this powerful story on Blu-ray™
Combo Pack, DVD, Digital Download and On-Demand, December 6, 2011.
The #1 New York Times bestseller by Kathryn Stockett comes to vivid life through the compelling
performances of a phenomenal ensemble cast including Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer
and Bryce Dallas Howard. The Help is a courageous and empowering story about very different and
extraordinary women in the 1960s South who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing
project.
In case you haven’t seen the trailer for the film, here is a quick look.
After watching the film, we checked out the bonus features and were very impressed with the “In Their Own Words: A Tribute To the Maids Of Mississippi,” which is an honest observation of life in the South from real-life maids, including director Tate Taylor‟s childhood caretaker, Carol Lee. This was probably one of the BEST bonus features I have ever seen included with a film and we really enjoyed listening to everyone’s stories.
