The Help adaptation

The main challenge would be that it is taken from different point of views so, the movie would be pretty out of order which could be confusing especially to someone who already has read the book. Minny is very sarcastic but not in a disrespectful way so, the actress would need to portray that to make it believable. All of the characters, who have help aside from Skeeter, are mean so those actresses need to have a mean side to pull it off. Three scenes that are essential are: 1.) When Minny takes Hilly her “special pie”. After she gets fired by Hilly she makes her this pie with something extra special in it. This is important because it is the reason of her fear of Hilly. 2.) Another one is when Skeeter interviews the maids to write her book. Her book is about the help of Jackson, Mississippi from their perspectives and in their words and it the words of the maids so people would know what it is really like and it is also one of the main points of the book. 3.) Lastly, the bridge club scene. It is important because you can hear the gossip between the ladies and how they feel and also what the help who also attends to tend to them, how they feel about it. Three unnecessary scenes: 1.) The scene when the colored man got shot Inn town. This could be cut because it wasn’t necessary yes, it was sad but he wasn’t even involved in the story. 2.) Another scene that could be cut was the confrontation between Hilly and Skeeter at the pool they were arguing over nothing so it wouldn’t be a loss to be cut. 3.) Lastly, you could cut the scene about Celia and her tree that she hates. It is really pointless that she hates the tree if she wants it cut cut the tree don’t drag it on forever!
