Ronnie Earl is possibly my favorite guitar musician right now. He has done some great soulful music. This DVD is a little weak. Ronnie doesn’t act like he is in good health or has much energy. I’m glad I have this DVD but I won’t loan it to any friends that I’d like to turn on to Ronnie Earl music as it might turn them off. This is for fans only.

“The Help” is set in early 1960’s Mississippi, just before the Civil Rights movement. There are three major characters, and Sackett takes the story into all three characters’ voices. Skeeter is a young white woman who recently graduated from college and yearns for a job in publishing or journalism rather than becoming the homemaker her mother wants her to be. Aibileen is a black housekeeper/nanny who is caring for her seventeenth white child, but it distraught by the beating death of her own son. Minny, Aibileen’s friend, is also a black housekeeper; Minny has a problem keeping jobs because of her inability to keep her words in check — a very importatn skill for black housekeepers of that time.

Skeeter, with Aibileen’s and Minny’s help, takes on the dangerous project of learning about what life is like for a black housekeeper in Mississippi at that time and writing about it. She assures Aibileen, Minny, and their friends that their names and the location will be changed in the final copy of the project to protect their safety and their jobs, and they meet secretly in different housekeepers’ homes to maintain this privacy. During these interviews, Skeeter also finds out the answer to a question that had troubled her for some time: why did her beloved childhood nanny Constantine suddenly disappear, and where was Constantine now?

These secret meetings, the discovery of the answers to Skeeter’s questions about Constantine, the final copy of the project, and its aftermath show very poignantly how domestic help of that time were treated by their employers.

Though Stockett’s biographical information states that she was raised by a black nanny in lieu of an absentee mother, making her similar to Skeeter, I would have liked to see how she got her information about what pre-Civil Rights era Mississsippi was like. Though Stockett’s nanny could have told her about the time and place, it seems obvious that Stockett is too young to have first-hand information. I wo

We were required to read this drek in high school. It made me sick then, and it makes me sick now, 45 years later, that so many morons could act like lemmings in calling this tripe a masterpiece. If it is a coming of age story, it is about humanity itself coming to an age of self-loathing and self-pity; constantly the victim. Never responsible for their own shortcomings in failure to appreciate the privelege of existance. As I said; a first class moping piece of crap. Teachers should be fired for even suggesting an adolescent child or teen read it.
