The Help (2011)

[CharlieO]

I downloaded this film yesterday and spent my evening watching it. I did not have huge expectations but golly I am blown away.
At points I was laughing, at 3 moments I cried a little and at one point I completely broke down with buckets of tears streaming down my face. I cannot put into words how much I adore this film now. It is most definitely my favourite film that I have ever seen. I love it so much that I wish I had not watched it so that I could watch it for a first time again. I am still very upset from it, it is so inspirational.

Has anyone else seen it?

oh gosh we have it and now I really want to watch it
but I'm scared now

[CharlieO]

No seriously Caitlin, you have to watch it.
I cannot comprehend how good it is.

[CharlieO]

I am tempted to actually watch it again right now, no joke.

[Kizzy]

Sounds good....On one condition, you watch 'Powder' :)

[Callum]

I love the book but I haven't watched the film yet. Heard it's brilliant though so I'm gonna watch it in the next week.

[Jords]

8.0 on IMDb must be good.

[Marsh.]

I thought it would be another overrated Oscars film thing. But is it actually as good as they say?

[CharlieO]

I usually hate most films and find the negative in every part, saying thats wrong, thats wrong etc. But I swear to god this film is not at all overrated. I really think everyone should watch it. The advertising does the film no justice.

-downloads and watches-

[Marsh.]

I've just got The Killing on DVD so I might watch this when I'm done.

[Smithy]

I've been wanting to watch this since i saw gifs of octavia spencer in it on tumblr :amazed:

[Chuck]

I watched it last week and I loved it. :love:

[Niamh.]

I've read the book and I really enjoyed that so I'm definitely going to watch the film

[Shaun]

I want to see it... but it seems like a token "Oscars feel bad about racism" film. Then again I loved The Blind Side.

[CharlieO]

No, it doesn't really make you feel bad about racism. You sort of bond and connect with the characters and only feel bad for them, but you feel good for them too.

I don't want to give a lot away though.

[Niall]

This was fantastic. It was so funny in parts in addition to being heartbreakingly sad.

When Hilly got that check calling her Hilly 'Two Slice' Holbrook oh my God. :laugh3:

[CharlieO]

Niall. I burst out into tears at

the very end with the little girl saying don't go and banging on the window and then also shed a little tear earlier on when the girl was all 'you're my real mommy'

[Niall]

OH MY GOD IKR :bawling:

And when she was hugging her saying "Baby, I have to go now" :bawling:

And when she spoke about what happened to her son. :sad: Oh and when Cecilia lost her baby. :bawling:

[Locke.]

I don't think it looks that good but you only hear good things about it, so will probably get round to watching it eventually

[GypsyGoth]

It was one of my fave films of last year. It's brilliant :love:
