The Help (2011) Abstract This is a film review of The Help (2011). This film er view is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol15/iss2/17 Miles: The Help (2011) “Change begins with a whisper.” This revolution to illuminate the oppressed and to give voice to the voiceless gains traction and volume from the most unlikely of sources, African-American maids in the Deep South. The Help, based on the best-selling novel of the same title by Kathryn Stockett, centers around the lives of three women: two African-American maids and a young aspiring writer. Encouraged by an editor to write about something that disturbs her, Skeeter, an Ole Miss graduate in journalism, embarks on a project of secret interviews recording the experiences of women domestics. Their testimonials detail the ironies of raising children who will one day rule over them and of waiting hand-and-foot on families while being invisible.

  • Inter-Act with Media Movie the Help (2011) Director (Tate Taylor) Stars
    Inter-Act with Media Movie The Help (2011) Director (Tate Taylor) Stars: Emma Stone, Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer Brief Summary: Their perspective has never been told, but Skeeter (Stone), a single society woman with aspirations to become a writer, is determined to give black maids a voice. Set in Mississippi during the 1960s, the movie Skeeter covertly interviews the maids who have spent their lives taking care of wealthy Caucasian families. Her goal? To publish their stories in a book called The Help. Although it takes a while for numerous maids to join the project, one maid, Minnie (Spencer), decides that she has to tell something “terrible-awful” that she did to a mean- spirited society wife and mother in order to keep the maids’ identity a secret. While watching The Help, consider the following concepts from the chapter: 1. Minnie boldly used risk-benefit analysis to decide to disclose the “terrible-awful” that she had done to “Miss Hilly.” Do you believe in the long-run, her benefit will remain as strong? Explain. 2. Once Miss Hilly determined that the “terrible-awful” was discussed in the book, what type of reciprocity agreement did she make with Minnie? Do you believe this was an implicit or explicit agreement? Do you believe each party perceives this information as co-owned? 3. Describe what would happen with the information about the “terrible-awful” in the social media age.

  • 2021 WIF Black List Feature Residency Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 16, 2021 THE BLACK LIST AND WIF (WOMEN IN FILM, LOS ANGELES) ANNOUNCE PARTICIPANTS FOR 2021 FEATURE RESIDENCY June 16, 2021, Los Angeles — WIF (Women In Film, Los Angeles) and the Black List have announced the participants of the 2021 Feature Residency, which begins today. The program, a joint effort between both organizations, provides mentorship and career opportunities to six rising women and non-binary screenwriters over the course of a year. "Said it before, will say it again: I very much look forward to the year that doing two writing labs with WIF with only women and non-binary participants makes no rational sense, because they represent at least fifty percent of the working screenwriters in film and at every level of television. We are, sadly, very far from that date. Until then, we look forward to our ongoing work with WIF, this year's lab, and the success of all of the writers who were selected," says Black List founder Franklin Leonard. The Residency includes intensive script and professional development sessions. Throughout the year, participants will have meetings and receive feedback from working feature writers, executives, and industry leaders. Past mentors include Jac Schaeffer (BLACK WIDOW), Emily V. Gordon (THE BIG SICK), Stephany Folsom (TOY STORY 4), David Rabinowitz (BLACKKKLANSMAN), Mattson Tomlin (PROJECT POWER), Haifaa Al-Mansour (WADJDA), Andrea Berloff (THE KITCHEN), Aline Brosh McKenna (“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”), Scott Myers ( Go Into the Story), Liz Hannah (LONG SHOT), Kirsten “Kiwi” Smith (LEGALLY BLONDE), and others. 2021 Feature Residency Participants Myra Aquino Script: LAMB Logline: Set in the island of Guam in 1996, a young CHamoru boy tries to save his grandfather from dying of a broken heart.

  • Book Discussion Guide the Help
    Page 1 of 3 Georgetown Township Public Library Book Discussion Guide The Help Kathryn Stockett (2009) About This Book Be prepared to meet three unforgettable women: Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone. Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken. Minny, Aibileen's best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody's business, but she can't mind her tongue, so she's lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new boss has secrets of her own. Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed. In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women-mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends-view one another.
