The help is about black maids working in white households in Jackson‚ Mississippi‚ during the early 1960s. In this film‚ the African-American women‚ also known as “The Help‚” would take care of the children as if they were their own.

Hamlet Film Evaluation Look at me‚ woman! Hamlet’s reoccurring theme of male superiority is displayed clearly in Act 3 scene 4‚ the closet scene. In Kenneth Branaugh’s version of Hamlet‚ the positioning of Gertrude verse Hamlet‚ eye contact‚ and tone gave the audience a clear sense that Hamlet was in control of the scene.
