Oscar-winning actress Viola Davis says she considers "The Help" to be a "missed opportunity". "Listen, 'The Help' changed my life in a lot of different ways. First of all, the friendships that I got - that experience is something I know I'll never have again. And Tate (Taylor, the director) is a great collaborator," Davis told theguardian.com.

The actress, who played the part of Aibileen Clark, one of the maids, added: "I don't want them to feel that I am blasting them in any way. It has nothing to do with the players." Instead, she feels uncomfortable that the story is largely told from the viewpoint of a white woman.
