[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Couldn't stand The Help for this reason. [/quote] Ditto for my and my 80-year-old mom. Both of us are white, and both of us cringed.[/quote] White woman, same cringing for The Help. I thought it was entertaining enough, but the premise bothered me. I didn't see The Blind Side because I had the same reaction when reading the reviews. Didn't see 12 Years a Slave because I knew it would be upsetting, not because of concerns about white savior-ism. (In fact, I have not heard that about this movie before now.) As I get older, I have less and less interesting in seeing any movie in which someone is tortured, raped, etc., regardless of context.[/quote]
