  • Octavia Spencer and Jessica Chastain didn't hesitate when it came to taking roles in "The Help." The film, set in MIssissippi during the 1960s, is based on the wildly popular best-selling novel about a southern society girl who returns from college determined to become a writer, but turns her friends' lives - and a small Mississippi town - upside down when she decides to interview the black women who have spent their lives taking care of prominent southern families.
    Bonnie Laufer from www.tribute.ca spoke with Octavia and Jessica about what it meant for them to be a part of this film, the delicious food that was ALWAYS on set and the important message the film delivers.

    Ms. Octavia is such an underrated actress. Before The Help, I've watched some of her films and tv shows. She had minor or small roles and even with those kind of roles, she still nails it. She's an amazing actor. I'm happy The Help put her to the spot light that she deserves.

      @@billcipher9024 that would be thw wrong guess, thats the hollwood movie accent that modern day for some reason thinks women sounded like, because they are so sure that we spoke exactly the same as today but with ridiculous linguals. You know that mid Atlantic accent, real life accent in the 1930s to 1960s was that, although not so "detective, funny seeing you here I had just left the shop on south of boulevard when I saw what happened" kinda drama. Its called the Transatlantic accent.

    Celia wasn't colour blind. She grew up poor and had a ruthless give them hell attitude but was just as lonely as Minnie. They were just on the opposite sides of the female spectrum... Celia ooozed sexuality and was brave by jumping into situations without fear and Minnie was the nurturer but feared sexuality and men in general but also cautious fly under the radar with a snappy temper but was able to meet everyones nurturer needs. Both aspects of strength, femininity, courage and intellect.

    I grew up in a Scottish village never seeing a black person then went to London for an interview when I was 17 and suddenly there were many and on going home I kept telling people that the best dressed people in London were black, I loved the way they wore fashion. On starting college I had no preconceived ideas of race, we were all mixed up and one day a teacher asked us if we had 'black' friends, I said no and one of my best friends Paul hit me on the arm and said ' oh so we are not friends', I just hadn't 'labelled' him. Later in life I would meet racism and just could not understand it at all. In Europe we have absolutely no idea of what the coloured community went through for all those years. One of my best friends, a black american singer told me that when she was a kid they had moved to a new neighbourhood and at thanksgiving the neighbours took them baskets of food thinking that being black they were poor. Her mother invited them in to show the house and the full kitchen and thanked them all the same. I still hear people saying things like 'they are black how can they afford this big house/car, they must be dealing drugs' sort of thing.

      For me I grew up around most races of people so it wasnt anything new to me, and I assumed that with our globalized world now, that mostly everyone has diversity exposure until I realized not every country does.

      @@priscillajimenez27 Before my first trip to India I was aware as a Brit that we could be seen as invaders so I was quite surprised on talking with many Indians that they contrary to what I imagined actually were grateful for the infrastructure that came with the colonisation. Of course the generation I spoke with had no views, little information on the downside, the sometimes terrible things the British did in India. They saw, as we should, only the good that remained. They told me that they would not have schools, or universities or railways if it had not been for the British. I went back three times and I miss it today, I always imagined spending my last days there and then being burnt.

I love Celia and Skeeter, obviously because they are both colorblind and very kind to everyone in the movie/book. Abilene is like Minnie's better half, or softer and more non-temperamental half. She is also a very motherly and brave character. Jessica said something that really hit home too, "We got a ways to go
