Big (2012)
Very likeable, but only until 13th episode
I liked this drama alot! And I found the woman lead very much alike me. But that's maybe why I got so annoyed by her in the end. She was so into pleasing others that when she found happiness, she turned it down almost immedietly because of someone else's interest. The 13th episode ending was so heartbreaking, that I couldnt watch on :/
The Help (2011)
Totally worth your time!
What I really like about this movie, is the portrayal. It's not just the beautiful dresses they use in that era. It's the point of view we see all this. This movie give us all a little more understanding about the apartheid. We meet this young girl, Skeeter who's brave enough to listen to a voice who's not normally heard. It meant much at that time to not being friends with the "blacks" and Skeeter is then interviewing them anonymously. The movie shows us also the heartbreaking relationship Skeeter have to her "house-helper". She comes to a shock in the movie where she finally gets the explanation why she left. The movie shows some clips about their relationship and it's so heartwarming and so kind. What I also liked about the movie, was that you learn you have to stand up for those who don't have a voice, and how important it is to make a difference, no matter how small or big. What I missed was that some of Skeeter white friends should have stand up and join her in some way. There's much portrayal of what is fair and about consequences. I wished Skeeter's mom would have had a bigger development during the movie. We see that she's all about other opinions about her, and I wished she just gave that up and supported Skeeter in the end. If you see the movie, you will understand all this.
