Who knows what it's like to be me

From the beginning of half an hour, until the ending song, I have no distractions. . . I didn't expect this movie to attract me so much. In the last half an hour, tears welled up again and again. . . Because I have been reading Linda's book, I am a little prepared for the background knowledge, but when I really see the actors write all kinds of moods on their faces, they are still deeply touched by contempt, sadness, helplessness, fear... Up. How many people would really want to learn about the life of another group? Especially when another group is disadvantaged? How many people are willing to take huge risks to tell the truth? How many people can really make mom say: I've never been more proud of you. What? The ending of the movie is very beautiful, I don't know what will happen to them in life?

I really want to reach out and get rid of those ugly "habits", "rules" and even "systems" that violate human nature.

The Help quotes

  • Charlotte Phelan: You know Hilly, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you've been eating too much *pie*.

  • Johnny Foote: Listen, Celia finally told me about the babies. All of them. But I also know that the minute you started working here, she started getting better. You saved her life.

    Minny Jackson: You mean, you knew I'd been working here this whole time?

    Johnny Foote: Fried chicken and okra the first night? I mean, you all could have at least put some cornpone on the table.

    Minny Jackson: No, I can't let you eat no more cornpone, Mr. Johnny.

    Johnny Foote: Well, thanks to you, now I've have to let out every pair of pants I own.
