    Much respect to all involved. With that said, I understand Viola on this. Hope others do too. THE HELP was the last film I worked on as a publicist. I quit PR. That film pushed me to make my own - for the reasons Viola states. I’m grateful for that push.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/11/movies/viola-davis-interview-widows-toronto-film-festival.html …

        Wow! I did not know that Ava! Good for you! Courage to change what does not bode well with you is the epitome of character. Sitting on the sidelines all while complaining should never be an option! Good things happen when we take that leap of faith.

        I like "The Long Walk Home". I get that some people think its a Sissy Spacek vehicle but to me it's Whoopi driving the car, showing the tired to the bone perseverance of black women during the Jim Crow era - juggling job, family & justice while maintaining a sense of self.

        I have never been able to watch The Help movie. I just had a feeling it wouldn't resonate well with my soul. Reading @violadavis interview it makes sense to me now. We need powerful pieces that give voice where people were/are silenced.

        Totally understood. If anyone takes her comments out of context, they seek not understanding

        @ava one of the reasons you’re so good is that you’ve seen all of this mess from all angles. And Little Sis’ if “The Help" was your push, then I’ll give it a 👊🏽 for that. 🖤

        This is honestly why I didn’t watch it, tbh. I knew from the trailers that it was “white savior” bullshit and I was honestly tired and uninterested in investing my time and energy into those narratives. No more.

        I didn't like the film, and was angry at myself for watching, because I knew before I saw it how I'd feel after. I applaud her for being honest about the outcome of the film. Perhaps if I did get to know them better, it would have been a more endearing film.
