The Help Movie
The Help directed by Tate Taylor, based on the award winning book by Kathryn Stockett. The movie received Grammy nominations for showing a fictional take of real life events that occurred in the 1960’s in Jackson Mississippi. Aibileen (Viola Davis) and Eugenia (Emma Stone) or Skeeter collaborated together to make sure that African American maids stories were heard.

The Help directed by Tate Taylor has used visual and oral features to bring the theme of moral courage throughout the movie. Kathryn stocketts, Idea of writing the book” the Help” has had huge success around the world to inform us with realistic circumstances. That even though Aibileen and Skeeter showing the lives of African American maids, it wasn’t ever resolved, that racism is still going to happen.
