The Help

To make The Help into a movie you would face many challenges. For one in the book they name a lot of characters, so it would be really difficult to that many actors to play the role, and some of the characters are only mentioned once or twice. Also because there are so many characters that have different personalities it may be hard to find actors and actresses that fit the role of the character. Three things that I would not leave out of the movie that is in the book is having Skeeter finding out that Constantine was fired. I would keep this because Skeeter was really close to Constantine, and was raised by her. Another thing that is in the book that I would also keep in the movie is Skeeter writing the book in the maid’s point of view about how they are treated. I would keep this because this is what the whole book is about. A third thing I would keep in the movie that is in the book is when Minny good fired by Miss Hilly and the getting hired for Celia. I would keep this because it is a big part of the book right now, and because Celia treats Minny like a friend and not a maid and that is pretty big. Something that I would take out of the movie that was in the book is when they are talking about how one of the maids has a son that got hurt and went blind. This could be taken out of the movie because it will not affect your understanding of the movie and you would have to get another actor to play the role when it is not needed. A second thing that could be taken out of the movie that is in the book is when Aibileen goes to community concern meetings at the church after her son died. This is not needed in the movie because it also does not affect your understanding of the movie, also it will just add on time to the movie that is not needed.
