cry during movies. I don’t cry at movies — something about being out in public and keeping my emotions in check. When I first read The Help, I cried during different chapters of the book, in the privacy of my room. It's a great novel with wonderful characters, and it doesn't take much to be moved by the injustice of it all. Injustice is an unfortunate reality … it’s difficult to explain and believe {when you’re experiencing it} that down the road how much stronger you will be. I know this to be true.
I saw The Help at the theater and even though {for me} it fell under the loved-the-book-better category, I was moved to tears — especially when Viola Davis, who plays the maid, Aibileen, is on the screen.
I adore Emma Stone and The Help has an immeasurably talented cast. But Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer steal all the scenes they are in. If you can’t find time to read this enlightening book, see the film. And bring tissues.
