In a video posted to the Canadian actor’s website, jimcarreytrulife.com (currently down, presumably from traffic), he shamelessly proclaims his love for Miss Stone. Personally I like how the video eventually becomes a meditation on aging, with Carrey discussing the “only discernible” byproducts of the aging process.
Starring Emma Stone, Viola Davis & Bryce Dallas Howard
A strong female cast anchors the drama, the laughter and the tears of “The Help,” about the intertwined lives of white and black Southern women in early days of the 1960s civil rights movement.
It’s obvious this story springs from a place, geographically as well as emotionally, that the people telling it know well.
The plot revolves Skeeter (Emma Watson), an aspiring journalist back home after college graduation, who wants to interview two local black maids, Abilene (Viola Davis) and Minnie (Octavia Spencer), about what it’s like to be “the help” for the town’s well-heeled white women.
Allison Janney is superb as Skeeter’s cancer-afflicted mother, Charlotte, a regal daughter of the South caught between the region’s culture and the nation’s civil-rights cause for which her daughter’s writing will become an agent of change.
