THE HELP

"Storyline." Internet Movie Database. 1990-2013. Web. 3 January 2013. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1454029/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1


The characters and issues make The Help similar to Remember the Titans.  Both movies have one or more young people aspiring to do something meaningful with their lives.  In Remember the Titans it is all of the football players who want to win a state title or earn scholarships to college.  In The Help however, the young admirable character is trying to become a writer.  They both work very hard to achieve their goals and gain success.  The issue of racism is also prevalent in both movies.  Remember the Titans deals with a community that is in turmoil because the school was integrated.  The Help deals with a community that is in turmoil because a writer digs up the truth about black maids.  The racism in the two movies is fueled by the characters' ignorance while the main characters want to challange the prejudices.
