I watched it all the way back in December, I just didn't post my review until now, but if you've had it at the top since its release....I don't if my shipping center is different but 9 times out of 10 a movie with a "long wait" at the top of my queue still gets sent right away.<br /><br />Andrew: I think you're right to a degree, that it is about women of the time, but still, if the movie chooses to makes it focal point Skeeter telling the "real story" of these black maids I just can't get past it not hitting harder. Ah well, at least we can agree to both love Chastain in it.Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-37942164335501534952012-01-25T21:06:44.012-06:002012-01-25T21:06:44.012-06:00I hate discrimination like this.

Yet their are also many of all colours who just think they are better and look down their noses.. I cannot and never have been able to fathom how they come to their conclusions. I love people of all colours and creeds EXCEPT those terrorists who leave their counties and want to take over someone else's in a dictatorship.Sr Crystal Mary Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509227559164880311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-58648438702651842292012-01-25T19:50:32.197-06:002012-01-25T19:50:32.197-06:00I know you told me I should come around here and g...I know you told me I should come around here and give my thoughts when you post your review, but I'm tired. And, no sense in beating a dead horse (PS. Have you seen War Horse?) <br /><br />But, I WILL say again Jessica Chastain for all the awards. ALL OF THEM. <br /><br />And because she's so good I tend to think the movie is less about racism, and more about the thorny relationship between women of the time with racism being a significant portion but not the one one. And how HOW can anyone watch Miss Chastain shake that bag of chicken and squeal "This is so much fun" and NOT feel happy. A cold hard stone, that's who!. And I know you're not a stone, ergo...admit it, you loved her.:)Andrew K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01104647944747041277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-22163739000754271602012-01-25T18:10:56.172-06:002012-01-25T18:10:56.172-06:00Dude did you get this through Netflix?
