So you think The Help is a good movie.

(Daily Mail)

The first time I was made aware of the Help, was over the lawsuit surrounding this woman, and the ethical complications of “borrowing” a person’s identity/likeness for profit. NPR did a really interesting panel discussion about the case involving a few female writers of color. Fast forward to a year later, when a major motion picture where white people save the day sprung from it, I wondered whether the situation had been resolved in a just manner. 

whenever people mention the help to me in a positive light i want to just vomit all over them.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This explains so much. I understood why people would not like this movie but I didn’t understand why some people absolutely hated it. What a horrible thing to do to a person.
