This is a great movie, but it glosses over the true violence and pain of racism and sociological views in the 1960. I think the main point is missed in this film. Apart from Minny's abusive husband, Leroy, the film show almost no aspects of the pain in their personal lives. Let's be real here, an example of my beliefs is as such. In the 1960's Skeeter and any of the maids involved in helping her write the book would have been imprisoned, the book would not have been published and Celia Foote (the only decent white person in the film aside from Skeeter and Charlotte) would not have been excepted into high society following her poor upbringing in Sugar Ditch. Don't get me wrong, this film is great but it's too idealised. A little more emotional realism and this film could be one of the most moving films of the 21st century.
