If you haven't read the book you should. It is very good. The movie is well done and a great adaptation from the book. The did a great job making it different enough to be interesting, and the characters were spot on. The things they left out were fine and weren't missed by me.
The movie is about a young white woman, fresh out of college back in the late 60's in Mississippi. She aspires to be a writer, and is a bit unconventional. She decides to write a book with stories from the help...so really it's about the help and they went through at the time. The book was more serious, and sometimes horrifying. The movie was a little lighter and funnier.
I saw a lot of folks crying in the movie and being very moved. I wasn't, but perhaps it was because I had already read the book and gotten even more from it?
All in all, it's a great flick with some eye opening stories to make you grateful to live NOW, and not bald then. Can you even imagine? I can't, not at all.
