The Help was released today and in honor of the movie’s debut, we decided to celebrate its amazing cast members.
Emma Stone & Viola Davis Deliver A Powerful Message In “The Help”
This group of women are strong, sexy and miraculously talented actresses.
Emma Stone plays a gutsy recent graduate and Viola Davis plays Aibileen, a third generation housemaid struggling with accepting the standards of the 1960s.
Octavia Spencer also takes on the role of a housemaid and Bryce Dallas Howard plays an uppity social climber. Throughout the story, the women build an unlikely friendship that gives them the courage to fight past all the principles of their society.
Despite the movie taking place in the ’60s and dealing with racial and controversial issues, it takes on problems that almost everyone of any race can relate to.
The film provides encouragement to have determination in your beliefs and to pursue whatever your heart desires.
