The Help

8.2 2011 Слов: 760

An aspiring author during the civil rights movement of the 1960s decides to write a book detailing the African American maids' point of view on the white families for which they work, and the hardships they go through on a daily basis.


Фильм «Прислуга» — это трогательная и вдохновляющая история о смелости, дружбе и борьбе за справедливость на фоне Америки 1960-х годов. Через судьбы нескольких женщин картина показывает, как даже один голос способен изменить общество и разрушить многолетние предрассудки.

Просмотр фильма в оригинале помогает услышать живой английский язык с естественными интонациями, акцентами и разговорными выражениями. Кроме того, вы сможете лучше почувствовать характеры героев и эмоциональные нюансы, которые не всегда полностью передаются в дубляже.
