Details

In the 2011 film The Help, set during the civil rights movement of the 1960s in Jackson, Mississippi, an aspiring author named Skeeter Phelan decides to shine a light on the experiences of African American maids. Skeeter, played by Emma Stone, recognizes the injustices they face working for white families and seeks to tell their stories in a book.

The Help reveals the hardships faced by these maids on a daily basis, including racial discrimination and abuse. Skeeter approaches Aibileen Clark, played by Viola Davis, and Minny Jackson, played by Octavia Spencer, to recount their experiences as domestic workers. As the maids share their stories, Skeeter becomes deeply moved and determined to expose the harsh realities they endure.

As Skeeter delves deeper into her project, she faces opposition and backlash from the racist society she resides in, including her friends and family. However, she finds support in unexpected places, including the community of maids who participate in her book. Together, they challenge the status quo and ignite an important conversation about racial inequality.

The Help is a powerful and emotional film that explores themes of racism, friendship, and the courage to speak up against injustice. It portrays the triumphs and struggles of these remarkable women as they navigate a deeply segregated society. This thought-provoking film serves as a reminder of the importance of empathy, understanding, and standing up for what is right.

The Night Watch 2011

In post-war London, Viv Pearce is dating Reggie and runs a dating bureau with Helen Giniver, who lives with her older lover, authoress Julia Standing. Viv's younger brother Duncan, a gay man made to feel ashamed of his orientation, has been in prison and is sought out by his ex-cell-mate, Robert Fraser, who served time as a conscientious objector and is now concerned for the young man's welfare. Viv encounters Kay Langrish, a wealthy, reclusive, butch lesbian and for both women this evokes memories of the period three years earlier (1944) when Kay was an heroic ambulance driver in a happy, loving relationship with Helen -- before Kay introduced her to her ex-lover Julia. At that time, Viv and Reggie are forced to procure the services of a dentist moonlighting as an abortionist. About to die from blood loss, and having been abandoned by Reggie, Kay saves her from prosecution by claiming she was a married woman who had miscarried. Three years before that (1941) Kay and Julia are still an item and Viv meets unhappily married soldier Reggie on a train. Kay pulls Helen from the wreckage of a bombed house, finding the innocent young woman she has always wanted to love and care for. We also learn the gruesome details of why Duncan was in prison, which follows a suicide pact with the boy he loved, in response to the war and the draft. As the scene returns to 1947 there are happier endings for some and optimist outlooks for others as they move forward.
