A movie I have recently watched is The Help. This movie is a great movie! It's one of the best I have ever seen. It made me laugh and cry throughout the whole story and I never got bored while watching it. This movie is great because you can read the book as well too. There are not a lot of movies in this generation that are so inspiring, but this movie takes inspiration to a whole new level. The Help has a little profanity and some graphic scenes in it only to get the point across even more; therefor it is rated PG-13.

A little background to the movie is it is based in Mississippi during the 1960s. In this small little Mississippi town, many black women worked in the houses to help out the white women with their children and their household. A young woman named Skeeter returns from college back to her hometown. She wants to become a prominent writer. She decides to pick a risky topic to talk about that she feels has never been brought up before. She begins writing about the African American women in her town. She gets inside the minds of these women and scoops up the dirt on how these women are really treated by the white people in the town. Skeeter finds some very interesting facts on how the black women were treated. She later compiles these stories into a book and the rest and publishes it. You can only imagine what happens next...

 Many great award-winning actors and actresses are a part of this great film. Actresses include Emma Stone, Allison Janney, and Sissy Spacek. Actors include Chris Lowell, Mike Vogel, and Brian Kerwin. This is a great film filled with a great group of people. They picked the perfect part for each role. I absolutely loved Emma Stone in this movie! She did a great job and she made the movie very heart-felt.
