An Extraordinary Movie About More Intolerant Times

My wife and I went to "The Help" and thought it was one of the best movies we've seen in a while about the white black intolerance that characterized the past, nominally in the time of the civil rights movement of the early 1960's. Having lived through that period myself, although in the North where it was a little different, I think the movie is a valid depiction of a time that we are growing past. I think the criticism of the Lyndon Johnson "Great Society" and its impact on the black community is also valid.
