At 8:40 he says that women had sassing & talking "about their white folks behind their backs a little bit..." Ah, not true. One of the Black maids was constantly standing up to the racist White employers, & (spoilers here:) even tricked the villain(Bryce Dallas Howard)into eating a pie laced with feces!!!

I agree with you brother....it seems as if the movies that showcase people of African descent being subservient, broken down, dysfunctional and just plain fucked-up which and ever way are always the movies that are hyped up and are loved not only by us but adored by whites as well. Precious was loved and enjoyed by whites because of the content as if Black people are supposed to be abusive and dysfunctional. Why movies like Akeelah and the Bee and The Great Debaters hardly received accolades ?

I agree with Tariq 100%

I can see dave chappelle ( if his show was still on) doing a skit on this movie, real talk!

Thank You Thank You Thank You!!! I try to tell people but they don't get it... especially white people. I already know viola is going to win an oscar just like Halle did and just like Denzel for playing so well what white people already believe about us

This is the best review.

The word "inspire" implies an action. I'd like to ask what action did this movie inspire on the part of black women who felt inspired by this film. I'd really like to know that? Somebody???? Anybody????? have an answer?

@syko52 I agree with your last two paragraphs, good debate, later ;)

@KiddDynamite270 Is it OKAY WITH YOU that the rest of us don't jump up & down & share the "RACISM!" opinion every time a movie comes out where black people aren't being portrayed as slaves, picking cotton & being beaten? I'm not just talking about the blacks that scream racism, or the white people doing the same. My original comments were aimed at a person IN THIS THREAD saying that all whites should be ashamed of themselves. EVERYONE IN GENERAL looking for racism in everything need to GTFOverIt

@KiddDynamite270 What does a movie focusing on the lives of "the help" of the white elite in Jackson have to do with the middle & lower class? It's about "the help", people who worked as housekeepers for the elite of that city. Middle & lower class people DIDN'T HIRE HELP. They cleaned their own houses. Nowhere in the movie does it state "THIS IS HOW IT WAS FOR EVERYONE". No, it's called THE HELP for a reason. This IS HOW IT WAS for THOSE GROUPS OF PEOPLE included in the plot of this movie.
