I Would Suggest You Need Some Help

           "You is kind, you is smart, you is important." This is a remarkable quote that is repeated throughout the movie to reinforce the movie's importance of teaching individuals that there is hope through kindness. The Help shows people that they can be kind, be smart and that they are important no matter who they are or what race they are. A movie critic named Mike Scott writes for the New Orleans Times, he states "The Help isn't intended to be so much a movie about the ugliness of the era than an optimistic tale of what can spring from that kind of ugliness, about the ability of people to love one another even when they're surrounded by hatred. And on that level, The Help succeeds wonderfully, a warm and sweet song of hope." I agree with this statement because the movie shows that there is hope in the racist society to be different and change. I would recommend this film to anyone over the age twelve because it gives people understanding of what life was like in the sixties for whites and blacks through seriousness and humor.
