- The Help is a 2011 film adaption of Kathryn Stockett's novel of the same name. The film features an ensemble cast about a young white woman Eugenia 'Skeeter' Phelan and her relationship with two black maids during the Civil Rights era (early 1960s) in America. Skeeter is a journalist who writes a controversial book (called 'The Help) from the point of view of the maids, exposing the racism they face from working for white families.

Why Viola Davis is so amazing. She starts to say, "It feel...." and then stops talking. But we can hear her loud and clear.
It’s been 4 years, but I’d thought you’d like to know you have 629 likes :)
Nowadays there still are immigrant mothers who take care of strangers's kids, while their own kids are growing up without the presence of their mother.
Being a maid....at least they don't have to play mammy and wet nurse any more
Some people hire help doesnt mean they replace the parents. God
@J. C. See, I don't understand this conversation. I worked from the time my son was 4 weeks old. A babysitter "raised" my infant son. That is the reality of being a working mother. So what am I missing here? Whether she worked in a factory, or as a CEO, or as a nanny- someone else would be raising her child.
@J. C. hmm ok well until we are in the position of having to choose whether to leave our children to help them or stay and starve together US Americans need not to say what should be done. Just like non people of color telling people of color how to feel about something that doesn't even affect them!!!!! No one can speak on anything until you are forced to be in that position yourself. 💯💯
Being an immigrant mother is no comparison to being a slave. African Americans were brought to this country against there will. No comparison to immigrants from Latin America who come with there own free will. African Americans built this country not Latin Americans. Fix your own government . Stop the crying about your country when you do nothing to change it but run away.
“This isn’t about me, it doesn’t matter how I feel” that is powerful
Sent chills through me
It’s the most powerful thing. And it’s the thing that doesn’t happen enough.
This is what's missing from current discourse about racism in this country. Hyper individualism has diminished empathy to the point that discussing actual history has become its own political battle. It's absurd, but sadly where we stand.
That was Emma Stone. I think the world of her and cannot imagine her in anything but roles that salute the intelligence and integrity of women. Brava signorina.
Nowadays it's all about Fweelings.
“You look really nice.” “I ain’t never had no white person in my house before.” Heartbreaking.
“It feels...”
“Nobody ever asked what it feels like to be me”
How Viola Davis didn't win the Best Actress Oscar in 2011 is a mystery to me. She leads this film strong, and gives a real voice to those who were voiceless in that time. I think people misconstrue this film so much because they only see the role, they don't see the context of the role that makes it challenging. Viola Davis' character and Octavia Spencer's character are able to say what no actresses of color playing maids in films could say of the society they were in, and told the story honestly where the romance was stripped away for hard truth. This was the best performance by a lead actress in 2011, not that cheap SNL impersonation of Margaret Thatcher Meryl Streep did in Iron Lady.
outinsider one hint: She's black
The other day I watched a video of all the best actress winners in Oscar history. There was only one person who wasn’t White (Halle Berry). I found that very disturbing.
@@kazior6521 It is distrubing indeed since black and brown actresses have delivered golden performances throughout film amid all industry restrictions and constraints. It's been five years, and looking back on my comment, it still rings true, except that Emma Stone was given the more dimensional story line and while Aibileen does lead, the focus should have been more on her and Minny, not Stone's Skeeter getting semi-white savior up in there, even though Skeeter is doing this from a genuine place. It's the way the film is framed when the story defies that framing.
@@kazior6521 and she is only half black
outinsider l
I try to tell people when I can if I like their shirt or if I like some kind of piece of clothing they are wearing. I think to myself they spent so much time trying to pick something out in the morning. The least I can do is appreciate it. It makes them smile from ear to ear and they feel that they matter. Abileen looked great.
Smileyyy21 that’s lovely. I was taught to compliment the person, not the clothing. Perhaps we should say “that shirt looks lovely on you” rather than “that shirt’s lovely”. That really makes them feel good.
I’m going to start doing this. This is so wholesome🥰
Me too doll you are a compassionate person and God love you.
I’m not sure how to say this, but we could all stand to be more generous with compliments than criticism. Life is hard enough, throw roses instead of stones when you can.
Viola Davis is just......wow......her portrayal just wrecked my heart
Viola Davis is great no matter.
one of the best movies...ever. yes she she should have won an oscar. I cried so much in this movie. Amazing acting all around!!!!!
This movie made me cry so sad.
do yourself a favor and read the book. it is so much better than what they've made out of it in that movie. viola davis and octavia spencer carry that whole thing and are true to the characters in the book. this movie is so very much sugarcoated and cleaned up ... the plot makes much more sense in the book. you won't regret reading it.
Me too I was ugly crying in the theatre for nearly the entire movie. I’ll never forget 😭
Aibileen is such a kind person, she knew that Skeeter was a good person and made her her friend. Skeeter is the best woman of all of them women
Skeeter WAS NOT abilenes friend....Skeeter was an ends to means
@@kimberlywhitehead22 My how virtuous u 'sound'...
How about Celia?? 🥺 she was such a cinnabon roll
Celia was golden. She didn't see race. She saw friend. Skeeter was same....... she wanted to bring attention to the racial injustice. Both fine ladies.
@@billhosko7723 have to agree Skeeter wasn't a friend. She started out only wanting 'help' on HER work assignment, but she does get 'help' seeing what other people's lives are actually like while writing the book. And writing the book 'helps' her leave the hometown clique
This movie has such spirit, and I could re-read the book for days :)
She does look nice. She’s rocking one of my favorite colors! 👍
Love the ribbons on her yellow dress
This movie is so amazing. I wish I could forget the whole movie and watch it all over like I was watching it for the first time again.
Viola Davis will forever be my favorite actress
I love that scene when Abilene tells that story of when she said she was black because she drank too much coffee 😂 I love it when people can make fun of their own skin color
That was super hilarious. I wouldn't be surprised if the lil boy tried to drink as much coffee as possible to be like her lol
Not so much fun than as a cautionary instilled from childhood. From the panhandle of Florida. Still don’t drink coffee.
More like fun from prejudice
It's not funny making fun of someone's color, especially black people.
Don't ever make fun of colored people.
Viola Davis is simply amazing!
Only Skeeter would visit abaleen at home I mean hilly would never step foot in her house.
This was no social visit. As "nice" as Skeeter may have been she was there to get content for her book, nothing more, nothing less.
One of my favorite movies! 😊❤
My 2nd favorite. Right behind Fried Green Tomatoes.
I really wished Davis won the Oscar award.
"I ain't never had no white person in my house befo" I FELT THAT!!! Plus got giggle with violas superb acting! 👌 😍
Isn't it the truth! I know the feeling, lol.
Can't believe its been 10 years since this came out
Two great actresses in a wonderfull movie!
Emma is such a gem here as well.
This Is the first movie I saw of viola Davis and from then on I loved her! Phenomenal
My students really loved this movie when I played it in class. They really sympathized with the characters of both races. The really enjoyed it.
Are they all white students?
@@See-if_I_care Does it matter?
@@mauia88 It does because usually the black students wouldn't sympathize with the white characters.
@@See-if_I_care lol
@@jaykurdt8434 It's true. Black people don't care about white people. That's just how they are.
I love this movie very well played.
Such an amazing film and book. Viola Davis is outstanding.
Its so amazing to watch how these women bond over their own demons and struggles that the other does not possess. Different races, different upbringing, different reasons. Still they share common ground and help one another cope. Much like Minnie and Celia.
LOVE EVERYONE...MINNY'S CHOCOLATE PIE
Great acting. 🌹
what happened to Abileens son was evil.
It's a wonderful movie I was it 3 times so far
"what if you dont like what i've got to say about white people"
"this isnt about me. it doesn't matter how i feel."
wish ppl understood this, a lot of convos would be more productive.
no... because you types don't want to hear other's perspectives... you want diversity, but not - of thought
@@billhosko7723 what do you mean by you types? im white, bucko. stop being a racist pos
I loved this movie 💜🧡💚💛❤
i had no idea this was how things were when my mom was young, its no wonder some older people are still in their racist ways.
I hear u but i would say these days its the young once who r the mot racist while older folks def have more respect all around
@@Cutiejuliya i wonder why that is, i just dont get it
@@cattygirl6663 because we don't talk about it, at least not enough.
@@jinny384 some so but in a bad narrative. That's why others (who aren't racist) find any mention of it uncomfortable because many use it as an excuse to continue racism in their own ways. I've met many young black kids racists against whites or hring up race in everything and it makes people uncomfortable. Now if it was talked about in a way, say the way my old black pastor would talk about it, it'd be a different story.
@@priscillajimenez27 You mean prejudiced. Can’t be racist if your race isn’t superior nor if your “racism” doesn’t negatively affect another’s livelihood. But I get what you mean. The argument to that is though, why do these kids make a point about their own race and races in general? Because people talk about it and point out to them that they are Black. A child isn’t raised thinking they’re different until someone tells them so. And that’s an enlightening point I learned from an article I read a while back. When I was young, I never thought about race until I grew older and it became an important point in education, politics, etc,
Skeeter is an angel
the “it feel…” was everything you needed to know…
One of y top ten !
This sadness in her eyes.
Viola Davis is pure golden ✨
I love Skeeter in this movie.
amazing movie
2020 and racism still is a thing 😕
True, because people still judge, before they start talking
Racism regardless of the color or race will always be around.
@@Shadywolf09 Or the judging of character over skin color.
Three years later and ain't nothin' changed.
Yeah against whites.
I really love that dress she’s wearing
Ótimo filme pode assistir...
Great movie funny as shit ...... Excuse the pun! Lol! Side note skeeter is fucking super gorgeous ... God damn!
Emma stone for you
Fantastic Genius
What is this refresh rate tho
I read the book and I have seen the movie. Both are really good, but the book really goes into detail about how racist and dangerous it was in Jackson, MS at the time for people like Skeeter to help black people like Minnie and Aibileen. The author of the book was actually born and raised in Jackson so you know that you are getting actual facts about what things were like back then instead of getting opinions from unreliable sources. Like other commenters have mentioned, I can watch this movie over and over again and never get tired of it. Very powerful message and life lessons
🙏✨💯
I love this movie so much. I'm confused about one thing though. Aibileen makes $182 a month and Skeeter makes $32 a month at the Jackson journal. How is that possible? Can anyone explain please.
Live_Wire i think it may because she was writer and that kind job was still looked down on .. she was women in mans job sorta .. also aibileen worked for some rich folk .. but thats just what i think
Care for a slice of chocolate pie?
Maybe because Skeeters job was very part time and Aibleen was more than full time (6 days a week for 8 hours a day)
Yeah, I agree with the other comments - and to add onto that, I don't think Skeeter was concerned with working for a living. She probably had more than enough money from her parents to keep her afloat and was probably working at the Journal part-time for experience.
@@mariakal605 there's another thing, Yule May said that she and her husband had been saving for years to send their boys to college and she asks Hilly for a $75 loan. If maids were earning $182 a month, why'd she had to ask for a loan?
It's a reflection of all those working away to work in another country and leave families behind. Taking care of other children whilst leaving their own behind to earn a living. It is heart breaking when these children grow up not knowing the parent well and sometimes treat their parent with indifference when coming home, not recognizing the sacrifice... It is sad but that's one of the truths that happens.
JFC... einstein... has happened to millions of women around the world...
I agree because I have a caregiver in my house who's had a similar experience. She's almost estranged from her family.
That’s a big house for a maid
Not even up-to-date staff are allowed to use owner's bathrooms.... and immigrant mothers look after their children while their own are left with friends or sisters.... Little has changed
I see this type of racism and seeing what George Floyd went through and then what is going on in Minneapolis...seeing this type of racism I just start boiling inside
Yes racism exists and it sucks. But have u seen the released footage of cops with George Floyd? The cops cuddled him like a fukin baby. I am white and cops dont treat me like that lmao. R u really gonna defend against racism with a criminal who put a gun to a pregnant lady and was on drugs while the cops caught him with fake money? Are u serious?
@@Cutiejuliya a knee on someone’s neck isn’t getting cuddled like a baby
Are we watching the same footage?
@@Cutiejuliya wtf are you for real?!
@@CutiejuliyaThey glorify criminals, all they ignored all his crimes cuz of the color of his skin.
They won't listen to you. They're brainwashed and woke.
Wow
I for one really enjoyed this movie, i actually felt nothing but guilt for people in those days that were black, and being made to work,.
Even the scene when Aibileen was asked if she dreams of being something else, just the thought of no black person having a choice of what they want to do and unfortunately we still live in a society where people from different races don't feel valued, like there lifes dont matter by the way they get treated is disgraceful.
People need to be more accepting and open minded of others especially with what is going on in America we are all the same to Quote Annalise Keating from(HTGAWM) 'rascim is built into the DNA of America'
why is it illegal to write the book with their testimonies?
During this era, there were actual laws established to segregate black and white people. White people didn't want close interaction and association with black people because they felt themselves to be better than them.
Im Native American, and i always tear up watching this movie. I can feel the pain, the pain of not having white skin. The way they stare, the way they judge. The way they think of us. I never did no wrong before in my life. Yet im still a disgusting dirty native to some :( this movie hits hard when you can relate.
It doesn't matter what you do. People of color will always be disgusting and dirty to people who believe they are better than you and want to keep you down. Its a psychological trick that they've been doing for centuries. That doesn't make it true though. Hold your head up. Native Americans honored the land, animals and their families. This country would be in a better place if they embraced the Natives and their ways instead of killing them and then corraling them into reservations. Hold to your traditions and ancestors. There is nothing dirty or disgusting about you.
JFC... gettagarip... you are no more Native American than anyone else born here... all this pious victimhood... go about your life, be self-supporting and quit demanding to be liked.

Sometimes I wonder what happened to the little boy that Aibileen raised, did he grow up to be racist like Hilly or did he end up like Mr. Johnny?
Today, every working mother has her child looked after by someone else. Does that make them a tragic figure? Because, the feminists keep telling us that she is doing what a woman should be doing.
America was never free...
For a black woman during those times, she's got a big ass house. Damn Hollywood magic, making every poor person rich.
Clearly, you know nothing about black women during those times, and clearly nothing about this character's background.
@@cinemeleon2808 Enlighten me then. Because as far as what I can find out, most black women had small houses, and they were not as clean (much less as beautifully decorated as her house).
@michaelsong5555 She has a shotgun house, typical Southern home of the poor. And Black women from her generation especially took EXCELLENT CARE of what little they had. Either you are not Black or you are Black and was raised around trashy people. Poverty doesn't equal filthy.
This isn't about me, my feelings don't matter. Something this feeling generation needs to learn. Facts are facts and they don't care about your feelings.
She acted this role. "ACTED"
*sigh* My standards are a little higher than the masses it seems
Oh yes you are so edgy and superior 🤭
@@pink-uv3th And your uncle still touches you "down there" while you stare into space and pretend it's not happening 🤭
@@pink-uv3th Thanks Karen.
It’s hard for anyone who grows up with racist bigoted parents because the expectation is to be just like them. Defying a racist parent is just as bad today believe me. Racism is taught. No one is born with it. I love this movie because it show cases the truth that African Americans and people of color have gone through and continue to go through. It’s sad but true. Unfortunately.
JFC... another virtue-signaler looking for online affirmation... anything else new to type Einstein...
Here's your 🍪
Now take a hike, narcissistic virtue signaller.
This doesn't only happen to African housekeepers. Even elite working mothers are sailing in the same boat as the African housekeepers shown in this movie regardless of their race especially teachers, doctors and nurses. Most of the time their kids are in day care centre but at workplace, they take care of other people's kids. So, there is nothing to feel bad about it.
Really? Worrying about who was going to watch their children was only one of their problems? Have you watched the whole movie? A life for an African American woman/house keeper especially in a town like Jackson in the 60s was no treat. Do yourself a favor watch the movie, read the book even and then tell me elite working mothers have it as hard as a African woman in the 60s living in the south of America
......really bitch?
Sailing? This is not about migrants going abroad to look after kids now you know this film is about racial segregation in the 60s right? When black and white people has different schools, toilets, water fountains, and had no rights? When black people were being lynched? They were basically slaves. What do you mean ‘there’s nothing to feel bad about’
K.A. Sharmella you sure are one ignorant asshole

Firstly eating pie ! That pie included another staff from yer the help , that is a big raped from the help , because of you were living same house ! that help is working to you , And for paid to Hilly helping And than eating pie!

You were eating yer mammals that means you must accept yer girl (woman ) was doing unshamed doing !!!yer girl was doing urine you were cleaning , sometimes she is vomit yer face , it May be that a girl can shamed mother for her debt And being naked nature that has psikoseksuel disorder has to ...
Absouletly father is to , And then go on comment about .
İf any family any disorder And any illy curement attitude , dont have resist cleaning with naked , that was big trouble psikoseksuel disorder ...
Absouletly writer has raped Hilly again , that was terrible similarty to but all the help goodness translate to turn Hilly deeds acount ...
And mother has never won any victory against yer own girl , beacuse she is made women that women the help with mother , if she does not know any thing , that was ashamed of the help with mother ...
İf u are aware of any knowledge you responsibility for improvement more degree around socialogical life , that included for momy rule , if u not try to help improvement , u stole life with the help ...
I think it's kinda racist that Skeeter was surprised that Aibileen looked good outside of her uniform.
It was genuine shock, not everything has to equate to racism. Especially compliments and being nice good god -_-
@@Cutiejuliya But why be shocked about that?
@@StikWitClassics because since a little girl she always saw maids in a uniform. Its like always seeing a homeless person laying with shitty clothes and then u pass one day and they r sitting in a suit of gucci. Same shit
