I grew up in Greenwood and found the movie fascinating, especially since my neighbor was the one who eventually was charged and found guilty of murdering Medgar Evers.
At first I thought the movie would take black people down a road they didn't want to revisit. I was wrong and pleasantly surprise. The cast was great and I believe Oscars will be awarded. My favorite was Octavia and that pie. Giving a pie to a white women back then took a lot of guts and unbelievable courage. The movie was great.
I loved the movie I used to live in Indianola, MS and went to church and sang in the choir at First Pres My great grandfather was a a minister there in the 1800s.. . I stayed 'til the end of the movie to see where it was filmed. It looked familiar. i loved eating at the Crystal Grill. I wonder if anyone I knew was an extra.
Its scary just how much inherent privilege, wealth, denial, superiority complexed and ignorance white people had and still have.
the contrast between how people lived is pitiful, how the whites could live with themselves.... i dont know.....my brothers were born in the 60's .....not that long ago.
im gonna read the book ...cant wait to see the film
i live down the street from where they were filming! alot of my friends and family are exras in the movie. it was awesome havin everybody here.

If 'The Help' had a $17 million dollar impact on Greenwood, how come Baptist Town is still in shambles?
