Viola Davis– The Help
There are oceans of pain beneath Viola
Davis' Aibileen Clark. She has endured tragedy and humiliation at
the hands of her mental and moral inferiors. But what could have
been a stereotype of simple piety instead is a mirror image of our
best selves. Aibileen is someone who is angry, but not bitter. She
can see the good in everyone. But Davis does not make her blind to
the shortcoming of others nor does Davis feel like someone who holds
themselves in low regard. She tries to bring the best out of
everyone as someone who truly cares. And she delivers that scene
ending line: “Ain't you tired?” in a way that forces us to look
at another character with a new light of pity.
