Watched The Help last night.
What a sad movie.
I know it was a different time/era, but God damn.........
I can't even fathom the world that way. (thankfully) I know things are %@$%%$ up now but I rather be in today, then that.
FANTASTIC performances however. Emma of course, Viola and Octavia Spencer were superb and sadly Bryce Dallas Howard was great (tho I doubt she wants to be proud of that) She must have hated filming that movie. But she never for a second broke character, smug and vicious as @#$%. Allison Janey is always great, and I was a little miffed that she was evil in this, until the end and it all made more sense to me. She was what I was expecting. Even Spacek was great in her small role.
Ummmm........ok, I knew the name. Ya'll made sure of it. But uh, you did not, I repeat, NOT tell me that
THAT was Jessica Chastain. Sweet mother Mary mercy me, lawd almighty.
From now on @@%@#*$!, pictures. Talk about a newer named chick, drop a pic. Pics would have helped me get to this movie MUCH quicker. Movie wa'dn't eeem over and I was searchin other movies she done, que them %!!$!#!%%%%%! right on up.
Her performance was also very good, spacey as !*%%, but played it really well.
It was hard to watch. Hard to listen to some of the dialogue. My wife and I started it and were sorta doin other things, talkin and lookin at phones etc, and after a few lines our ears perked up like "what?" ......... the rest of the movie we didn't do or say much else other then groan hearin some of that mess.
I have to imagine that filming that movie was incredibly tough for those ladies, and I bet that's what made the movie that much more compelling.
And I kid you not, as I sat thru it, I thought immediately about what it will be like to watch Django Unchained.......on Christmas.
Man, that guy.......
9/10, Ska - recommended.
