The Help

A great book and a great movie.  This was one of those books that, when I read it I thought, this is one of my all time favorite books.  I find it disconcerting that it joins Gone with the Wind ~ but I'm not going to dwell on the moral ramifications of that today. 
And then I went to see the movie with some MMS favorites ~ so the company was good and the popcorn was buttery!
There were about 75 middle age, book club women in the audience and I think 3 guys.  The one in front of me kept checking Facebook throughout the whole movie...really?...but, once again, it was great to watch a movie in a crowd to hear the responses ~ the laughter, the shock, and some tears. 
I left the theater feeling humble ~ would I have the courage to stand up for what it right?  Or am I Elizabeth, who does what Hilly says?
