The Help

Backtracking to Wednesday, the 10th, the movie THE HELP opened in Conroe.  Growing up in the South and especially "back in the day", my many friends had told me about the book when it first came out.  For reasons unknown to me (:-) I did not ever get the book.  I was most anxious to see the movie tho.  Did my a.m. errands and was at the theater by 11:15 a.m. for the 12:05 p.m. movie.  I was the 2nd person into the theater and by the time the show started the place was totally full.  It is not a "chick flick" - it's a people flick.  The automobiles, clothing, music, hairdos, attitudes were all so very familiar to me.  The movie ran the gamut from funny to sad to disturbing - so many things I remember hating about the south and the unfairness of how some people were treated.  Thru the years attitudes and circumstances have changed, some good and some not so, but the movie is definitely a "must see" and you can view it and make your own conclusion
