"The story that connects Help hearts" which won the Academy Award Supporting Actress Award (Octavia Spencer) has finally been released from last weekend. I got a comment on the official website !!! I'm at the Shibuya Human Trust Cinema now being screened out !!!!!!

One of the subjects that is the basis of American literature, such as Faulkner "Absalom, Absalom!" And Hailey's "Roots" speaking of the classic of the magnificent story in the south of the United States. But they are too heavy and dark. . . And masculine.

However, "Help" is a story of women completely, I do not let the weight and darkness of that white and black people feel at all. (There would probably be no one remembering Satpen and Kuntakinte ... lol)

Rather, the atmosphere flowing from the screen is pop and fun, it is fashionable.

I wonder if there have been stories that drawn south white and black people. . .

It was there. Lol

For example, J. Waters "Hairspray" (haha). Is it about it? . .

Now.

This story set in the southern part of the United States in the 1960s starts from the place where the skater who plays Emma Stone returns from the university to the southern part of his hometown. She is a girls aspiring to a writer who grew up in a family of white upper society. Before I entered university, I was thinking that black maids were used in homes in the street, not in their parents house. However, now I can not stop feeling a sense of incompatibility. . .

And Skitter tries to interview black maids, but they were not cooperative. Because to tell the truth was to lose the place to live in the area rather than work for them. . .

A society in which a black maid mistakenly used a white toilet and was dismissed. She decides to write an interview with black maids and write a book. . . However, the process was extremely difficult. . .

White women and black maids in the upper class are sometimes humorous than sometimes discrimination / discrimination darkness, sometimes their style of life is fashionable as quickly as possible. And it is shining colorfully. . .

Which is bad and which is better. Which is the truth and which is wrong. More than that, in that era, America was the most vibrant and era that was said to be the richest pax America in human history.

Many stylish clothes and dresses, hair style. Lots of southern delicious dishes and cakes, pretty table coordination. Beautiful furniture and interior items of the time appeared.

There is no doubt that it is not a heavy story such as discrimination / discrimination lying between white people and black people, a story of universal control / non-control, but a movie very pleasing to the eye. . . During the appreciation, I also forget that it is the story of the liberation of the black maid.

Indeed even in white people, discrimination / discrimination exists and is drawn.

私たち日本の中でも差別／被差別、いじめなどはどこの社会でも存在することは誰でも知っていることなのです。。。　

In addition, what white people and black actors are shining !!!

Two main black maids. V. Daisy's unobtrusive astringent performance to not go forward. Humorous acting with pride while setting up a white woman who is an opponent of Octavia Spencer who took the Academy Award.

BD Howard of a villain (?) Who has a prick but never hates. E. Stone which was playful although he was a leading character. J. Chestin, who is enjoying typical American shemale images of the 50 - 60s in optimism and sometimes in the dark, she recently also producers of "Tree of Life" and "ER"!

The acting battle which the actresses are not heavy, the actors who do not have power in the shoulder are enjoying is also attractive.

いつの時代でも、どんな社会にも差別や偏見は存在する。何気ない行動や発言が人を傷付けてしまうことも。でも最も大切なことは間違いを犯した人間を許す寛容な心を持つことじゃないかしら。　　　

Courageous behavior sometimes encounters dangerous eyes. . . But the important step is to change the minds of society and people. This movie was never dark like people's heart patterns are changing continuously, sometimes humorously.
