My 19 year old daughter actually asked me to go to the movies with her to see "The Help." It turned out to be a priceless experience. SO well acted...and it opened up conversations. As for the theme...the "help" were the domestics who kept that society operating.

I saw it with my mom 2 weeks ago. I thought some of the performances were really good. I had read the book first, so none of it surprised me
ReplyDeleteSounds like your back could have used some of that "OIL" that kept society smoothly running!
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely a very important theme, never heard of that movie.
ReplyDeleteI do love to take in a matinee on a rainy day . . . will put this movie on my list to see.
ReplyDeleteI think that is my favorite movie in the last 5 years...I laughed, cried and did it all over again! If you loved the movie you will like the book even more! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting; the closing credits with the house lights up? I like how you caught both the audience and the film on the screen.
ReplyDeleteThe Strangers With Candy movie was the last movie I saw in the theater. Prior to that it was The Brady Bunch Movie. Prior to that it was Stand By Me. I don't go to the movies much because I have the attention span of a gnat.
I'd seen previews and so was interested in it. Now I will put it on my must see list.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it! thanks for the review.
