The Help

 
   Have you ever heard of the KKK? “The Help” shows the aspect of racism which lurked in the United States in 1963. The film indicates well how people have the wrong values to word colored races, acting as it discrimination against anyone based on their race is a matter-of-course. Moreover, it eventually gives an insight that racism is just the shocking and awful beliefs.
   Meanwhile, the audiences cannot help sighing in a part of the film which lets them hear too outrageous and absurd remark of for a white person, “Blacks must not be admitted to use the toilets which white use!” It is not simply a question of toilet. The actualities of the treatment armed with glares and wearing a word for black maids made them be sad though they had raised white’s babies in the last few decades in their life. Nonsense!
   Then you may think that the story of the film is just a part of old history of the past. Nevertheless, just in our campus of the university in 2013, I can often see some people having a bias to word blacks. To be honest, I also was one of them. However, I changed my opinion after watching this. I realized that they all do even similar jobs and enjoy the same hobbies.
   Watch “The Help.” You could change your vision toward black people, and you also may encounter a chance to have hope and courage.
