The Help


This is the story of  house maids in 1960's America.The story moves around  Skeeter,Aibileen and Minny, the three strong willed women.Skeeter,an aspiring writer wants to writes story about house maids,she herself was brought-up by a black house maid.Aibileen, whose mother and grand mother was also house maids, who last her only son in a accident caused by a white man.Minny , a house maid who was fired for using white family's toilet.

Aibileen and Minny helps Skeeter to writes about the house maids,this secrete writing projects brings lots of trouble.They explain their lives at whites's house, and they united many others to open up and help Skeeter to completes the book.Skeeter herself loses her boy friend after he finds out her role in the book.how will they succeed in publishing the book was the story.Aibileen's narration of her son's death and her opinion of  Elizabeth ,who according to her should not give birth to another child were excellent.Minny's fearful aggression and Celia's careless attitude were captured wonderfully.

Viola Davis as Aibileen was awesome,simply superb.She really lived like a house maid.She received Oscar nomination for this wonderful role.Octavia spencer as Minny was wonderful,her funny mannerism and his dialog delivery,simply too good.Emma Stone as Skeeter did convincingly well.And all the other characters did their role well.Special credit should be given to the cinematographer Stephen Coldblatt and composer Thomas Newman. Picturesque shots combined with wonderful background music made this movie enjoyable.

The director Tate Taylor had done a good job in bringing the emotions from the book with the same name written by Katheryn Stockett.I have not read the book yet,but i hope this adaptation has done justice to the book.Overall a great movie, i expect this movie to win atleast 1 Oscar.
