Finally an opinion of The Help that I agree with.
I have refused to see the movie The Help as I found the book absurd. Patronizing pablum. Nice to see my opinion echoed to an extent here:
“I don’t see any of The Help‘s journey as pleasurable for anyone: black women are oppressed and fight back in a passive-aggressive way. (Black men are all but invisible in this world.) Whites are mostly evil, or else sheep: soulless and brainless.”
