Oh, the narrative!

Viola Davis seems to think THE HELP (the movie she starred in, not the book) doesn't tell the whole story which is not something I can definitively argue against not having seen the film but the criticism as seen in the Yahoo! URL above doesn't strike me as a convincing argument against any film.  No film dives deep into any particular story.  There's always an angle with which the story is told a viewpoint from which the scene is filtered.  I don't understand the complaint against "white savior" archetypes.  Mass lynchings didn't end because black people killed all the KKK members.  It didn't end because of Malcolm X or the Black Panthers.  It was MLK's leadership inspired by the might of God's Word along with his team of protestors who began the end of most of the worst of racism.  But if the mostly white media hadn't tuned in, very few would've even ventured to care.  I don't really know the premise of THE HELP.  I know its' characters are maids but beyond that I'm left wondering where's the need of a savior?  Should the savior have been a black person?  If so, who?  How?  If this were a film that took place today yes it wouldn't be entirely necessary for a group of black maids being criminally underpaid or systemically abused by their employers to be saved by a white person.  Idk.  I probably shouldn't be running my big mouth having not seen the movie.
