The Help/相助

The movie's theme is about racial discrimination, but it doesn't involve any impassioned struggles, just a story on how maids fight against racial discrimination with their perseverance and love in their daily life, which subtly reflected the influence of Martin Luther King's non-violent non-cooperation movement.

In my mind, the name of "help" also indicates the mutual help, any kind of discrimination will harm both sides; to help the African Americans is to help the whites better.

Quotes:
"You is kind. You is smart. You is important."

本片是种族歧视的题材,但并没有多少慷慨激昂的斗争,而是从女佣们日常生活的视角,讲述了一个如何用坚韧和爱心反对种族歧视的故事,巧妙地映衬了当时马丁·路德·金所提倡的非暴力不合作运动的倡议。

就我看来,片名的“相助”是相互的,任何形式的歧视都有可能损害双方的利益,帮助了黑人,才能更好地帮助白人自己。
