'We can all go further,' said Bryce Dallas Howard after 'The Help' skyrocketed to the top of Netflix’s most-viewed movies
Photo: Dale Robinette/DreamWorks Amid ongoing protests across the country against police brutality, The Help, a 2011 period drama that tackled race relations during the civil-rights movement in Mississippi, has skyrocketed to the top of Netflix’s most-viewed movies. The film’s ascension in popularity hasn’t exactly been met with delight by the #BlackLivesMatter community, and the news has reached Bryce Dallas Howard, who portrayed the film’s socialite villain.
Instead of The Help, Howard recommended a “not comprehensive” list of films and television shows that center on black lives, stories, creators, and performers. “Stories are a gateway to radical empathy and the greatest ones are catalysts for action,” she wrote, urging her followers to learn about “the civil-rights movement, lynchings, segregation, Jim Crow, and all the ways in which those have an impact on us today.
Despite The Help receiving four Academy Award nominations after its release, one of which led to a Best Supporting Actress win for Octavia Spencer, Viola Davis later admitted that she regretted taking her role. “I just felt that at the end of the day that it wasn’t the voices of the maids that were heard,” Davis said in 2018.
