[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 868950, member: 12570"] Just came back from seeing "The Help". I was a little concerned as I was the only guy in the audience of about 20. After the first five minutes this concern melted away as I knew I was in for a treat. This was perhaps the best movie I have seen in a long, long time. For those who don't know, this is a movie based on a book written from the perspective of black maids in Mississippi in the 1960's. It incorporates the civil rights struggle, the separation of the races and the dynamics of the employer/employee relationship in what is described as the most backward state in the union. There are a number of big names in the movie but they all blend together to form a strong ensemble. There was a moment of sadness for me. Cicily Tyson is in the movie. I hadn't seen her in a while and she is a shell of her former self. Her speech is slurred and her mobility is quite limited. This is a must see. There are no special effects or anything that would require going to the theater but definitely add this one to your Netflix. [/QUOTE]
