Satta King is a popular however controversial type of gaming that has a significant presence in India, particularly in places like Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and other parts of North India.

This movie based on a novel originally written by Kathryn Stockett, is showcased in three southern women residing in Jackson, Mississippi in the early 1960's. The movie showcases a spectrum of individual personalities in the lives of Aibileen, Minny and Skeeter (known as Eugenia Phelan.) The movie was primarily focused on the struggles these women faced in a very racially biased south and the adversities women faced on the job market in the 1960's.
Stockett created beautiful waves in how she made individuals aware of the ugliness that can happen in life, but the beauty that occurs within that ugliness when times are unforgiving. In the case I'm thinking about, Skeeter, played by Emma Stone, was an aspiring journalist living in Jackson on the forefront of race issues in the south. Skeeter, while searching for her dream job, was also searching for Constantine, her family's loyal maid that was suddenly "let go." In the search for Constantine, Skeeter realized that the maids whom supply services to her friends (essentially labeled "the help" are treated extremely differently than white employees. Later, Skeeter decides to create a column in a local newspaper to display this "mistreatment" and unfairness being done by the families of these maids in the south. Skeeter gets the "okay" to do this through having tips also written within the text in order to gain authority from her primarily white readers.
In the column, Skeeter decides to use her comrades to tell their stories in order to obtain excessive attention with hopes to change the trend of blacks being extremely mistreated and unfairly rewarded for their services. Aibileen, a maid and partial nanny, agrees to share her misfortunes and tips for being a maid in the column displayed in their local newspaper. After endless efforts to get more maids and "help" on board with the project, Aibileen's friend, Minny also agrees to share her adversities. Since the column in the local paper was so scrutinized by the individuals who employ the maids and nannies, Skeeter essentially put her works and the words of the help into a book, published it, and entitled it, The Help. ( 2015)
The novel and movie truly opened eyes in a different light. Stockett focused on the women that suffered through the race imbalances in the south. In doing this, a white woman and two black women worked together toward a common goal: to forever cease the harsh realities of being a poorly-paid and treated maid in the deep south during the '60's and '70's. Viewers are able to witness comedy and heart-felt emotions all while receiving a not-so-common history lesson. Not only were these women facing excruciatingly harsh realities in regards to race, but on the job front as well. Skeeter, a young white female was unable to find work for a long period of time. Individuals in the south were not comfortable with allowing someone to essentially "choose the wrong side" and make that information public. Stockett really grand slammed this novel turned into a movie because of the bases she covered.
One scene I remember vividly in the movie occurred when Minny, a maid of individuals who treated her below them, though really hilarious, acted in a way that only she could justify.
In this scene, Minny baked a pie that she personally delivered to Hilly Holbrook, her house employer. At the end of the movie, it is apparent and learned that inside the pie that Minny baked for the villainous Holbrook, Minny placed her own feces in it. It's little (disgusting) acts displayed like that which really bring humor into a very serious issue. Additionally, Minny gets abused by her husband each night, another adversity she faces in addition to her job. ( 2015)
After I read the first couple chapters of this book, I knew I wanted to see the movie. It is fascinating to me how little individuals know about things that are sublets of the bigger pictures. Sure, we all learned about the endless imbalances of racial issues in the south and across America, especially in the 1950's through the 1970's. But who ever actually thought of the jobs within that conflict that showcased women specifically? It's very moving to me that Stockett focused a novel turned movie on something so miniscule in regards to the "bigger picture" of race, but so damaging to so many women's lives. I admire that she wrote about three different women of more than one race working together to achieve and tackle a goal much bigger than themselves. The Help showcases how America was very close-minded and stubborn to the fact that women of more than one race were gasping for some kind of hold of society and were never rewarded it. Through Skeeter's work and the stories of Minny and Aibileen, The Help was a success and showcased more than enough history for me to open my eyes.

 

 

I can only echo the other reviews already written about this outstanding movie.
The performances are incredible, especially Viola Davis, who shines in her role.
Credit also goes to Tate Taylor, who wrote the screenplay and directed this wonderful film.
The story is poignant, but also funny, and describes the racism that took place in the South during the Sixties.
I can only highly recommend THE HELP.
DO NOT miss this movie. It's one of the best of 2011, if not THE best.
