Review of "The Help"

I've checked, and unfortunately, The Help is not a sequel to Help.  Pity — I've always wondered what happened after the final scene on the beach, not to be confused with On The Beach.  Anyhow, I doubt if I'll ever see The Help, as I understand that it's not nearly as realistic and historically accurate as Help.  But I think I don't really need to see it to review it.  I'm pretty sure is depicts White Southerners as a bunch of cruel, oppressive louts, and Blacks as long-suffering saints.  Another Hollywood lesson on how all White people should rend their garments and gnash their teeth in abject shame for their very racist DNA.

Lord knows Stephen Spielberg knows what it means to suffer.  Hollywood, having won the war by trying its damnedest to get us into the thick of World War II and succeeding, changed its focus later to civil rights. That is, after it persuaded American White men to get themselves killed fighting European White men, it switched to persuading American White men, especially Southern ones, that they themselves were no better than the Nazis they fought, and that their next task was to fight themselves, and wipe out their own evil, racist culture so that the far nobler nonWhites could run things.  So far, so good.  When it comes to the  cinematic War on Western Civilization and the White Race, Spielberg is the Audie Murphy of our time.

Like I said, I can't bring myself to watch drivel like this in order to review it, but Penelope Thornton is made of sterner stuff.  She reviews it HERE.
