The Help Ending Explained

When it comes to bittersweet movie endings, The Help ending stands out – especially after seeing a young Mae (Emma and Eleanor Henry) bang against the window crying as Aibileen (Viola Davis) leaves. Released in 2011 (and based on the novel of the same name by Kathryn Stockett), The Help sees aspiring writer Skeeter (Emma Stone), a white woman living in Jackson, Mississippi, conspire with two Black domestic workers, Aibileen and Minny (Octavia Spencer), to expose the racism Black housekeepers experience from white families. Some of the families Skeeter, Minny, and Aibileen work together to write about are Skeeter’s own friends.
