REVIEW

Someone once said that life is not just black and white, but in the United States, especially in Jackson, Mississippi in the civil right era around the 60's, everything was all black or white. Yes, The Help will bring many stories about the fate of black maids in that era, one of whom is Aibileen Clark (Viola Davis), this middle-aged woman almost spent half her life as a maid for many white families, caring for their children like And cooking for them and cleaning their homes every day, unfortunately their incredible dedication is not worth the wage of the racist treatment they get, as happened to Aibileen's friend Minny Jackson (Octavia Spencer) who should be fired Because it was found using the toilet of the employer. Of course, not all whites are racist, there are still a few who care about the fate of these colored domestic workers like Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan (Emma Stone) young girl who aspires to be a journalist who later writes the bitter stories of the slaves Modern 'into a book. 

Like his best-selling novel, no one ever thought that the little  25 million $ drama was able to talk a lot this summer to the point of scooping fantastic revenues, almost touching 200 million dollars just for its US affairs. Yes, The Help is a rare summer movie because he is far from the glamorous impression of most summer-releasing films that seem to be competing to present all the excitement of special effects or spectacular moments of action. The Help Power itself is a great story, directing and acting. Tate Taylor, who acted as both director and screenwriter, seemed to know exactly how to translate every page of his friend's novel into a solid drama presentation. The theme may look heavy and brave. The theme of racism and the struggle for equal rights by setting in a period in which the Klu Klux Klan is still rampant spread terror for nigger Americans there. Although not based on real events The Help remains somewhat inspired by what happened in that era, even some real events like Martin Luther King Jr. shooting. Until Kennedy's assassination was inserted in it to confirm that what happened in The Help was there at the time. But what makes it interesting here is how Taylor made it a light, touching and highly enjoyable humanitarian drama spectacle by incorporating entertaining humor plus a little bit of pain in it in the right dose. 

You could say The Help is a 'feel good' drama that plays in the 'safe' zone for everyone's consumption because to be honest there is no conflict that is left too complicated here or there is excessive fear, and almost all the scenes are filled with lots of leather women Rich white nan arrogant who looked down on many black women, leaving the male character which only a handful as a complement to the patient. Broadly speaking, Taylor shares his story in three large plots, each plot having a sub plot of interesting plot sub-plots that are able to walk parallel to the main plot, such as the story of Minny Jackson who found a nice new employer in Celia Foote (Jessica Chastain) after escape from the boss The racist duration, Hilly Holbrook (Bryce Dallas Howard) or the Sketter conflict with the mother who just fired her dear old aide who had been caring for her for over 2o years. Yes, in the end the three main plots were able to unite very well, bringing together a heartwarming and inspirational story whilst for the size of a fictional story The Help seemed to be in charge of resolving the conflict, because there really is no noticeable change in the end with the book or not Written Sketter. 

The Help has an amazing ensemble cast that could be the most powerful element of the 'casual' script. Almost all the players are able to present excellent acting, just look at Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer's terrifying duo bringing the characters of brave helpers, really make The Help so lifelike, not to miss the charming and fragile Jessica Chanstain, or the beautiful Bryce Dallas Howard who, Surprisingly also can look very annoying, and of course Emma Stone is present in the appearance that looks more serious than his previous films although admittedly difficult to seem to eliminate the image of 'naughty' it is here.

Not the best multiracial drama and humanitarian struggle I've ever seen, but The Help is still a 'heavy' themed spectacle that can be lightly packed, entertaining as well as touching and able to inspire everyone without losing the noble message of courage and kindness in every human being, No matter what color of skin or social status, let alone he also offers an outstanding acting parade of his female players.
