Some people cross the divide with love and respect… 

Well that’s because she knew what that kinda felt like. She was white trash; her and Minnie aren’t too different.

Wild how don't be a pos was a foreign concept to Americans then......and a lot of the world now I suppose.

​@@famouslyterrible3830wut? Learn some history my friend

I loved Celia and I was so happy to see that her husband was also kind.

🌹🌿 The way it should be

Yes!I could just watch a series or a full movie of them two 😊

Yup, and then when she finally meets the husband 😊

@@dadriamcgregor8346 Yes!And how supportive he was of Minny and greatful for the help

​@@milirodriguez8493 yes he was such a sweetheart to Minny!😊💜

In the book Celia kills a guy that tried to attack them in the yard

🙌🏾

Because the same hateful, jealous bitches that mistreated Minnie also treated Celia Foote the exact same way. She knows what cruelty feels like and she just isn’t going to do that to another person.

And despite ppl treating her truly bad and so hurtful, she doesn't cave in to please them she just continues to be herself and true to herself. That's integrity.. and a pure heart. We'd all be like that if there weren't some truly "Godless souls around" like that Hilly...biaatch

It is how it should be. When I had my babies I had a girl that ate lunch with me which I made myself so I would enjoy her company. It was my joy and pleasure to make lunch for both of us and she was a bit shy at first but she got over it. Nothing wrong with treating people as people - as well as human beings besides I enjoyed the company I had.

Celia reminds me a little of Theo von or Elvis. When you’re born into abject poverty, what does race matter? Poverty is poverty, regardless of race you’re still at the bottom of society. Hunger is colorblind

That's why she was hated so much. Plus she was just natural. Movie is so good.

@@VannaWhiite and yet so far removed from reality as to be almost Disney. Cue Mr Bluebird!

I really love this expression " down to earth " hh

Ditzy...sorry

She was gentle and sweet and kind. There’s nothing ditzy about that.

All I want to know is who de-feathered it? That’s the hardest part… or so I hear 😂

@@aprild3250 My mom is X-Amish. They hold it upside down to let the blood drain, then dip into boiling hot water, then pluck, then get rid of the gut immediately (salmonella). 🤮 The little feathers are hard to get off by hand; so when eating a non-factory bird there will be little feathers on certain parts of the skin. They didn’t care… just deep fried those wings and crunched away. (This is why I only eat boneless, skinless chicken & mostly only beef.) *Also it’s true that if one gets away from you, they will run around the yard. Since the heart is still beating blood sometimes shoots all over the place.

I used to baby sit for this family when I was about 13. If we were having chicken for dinner the husband killed the chook, I got it to dunk in a bucket of hot water to pull the feathers. It was then given to the wife she cleaned it and cooked it.

Where i can from, those little feathers you say can be get rid by putting on fire. The little feathers will burn immediately. In my 28 yrs of existence, i never get a salmonella by how we cook from live chicken. Sorry! english is not my first language btw. ​@@Private-wj4nd

O my , my family did the same​@@Private-wj4nd

And when she ate that chicken , the crunch was everything 😂😂

They don’t write movies like this anymore it makes me so sad. We could have some amazing modern Westerns and Soul films if the industry was more forgiving. Instead we get the 30th marvel movie with 2 borderline stereotypical gay characters that are supposed to make up for the awful plot & acting 🤨

@@mazarine_44That is the truth! What I wouldn’t do to see a great movie right now……one that doesn’t leave you for a couple days.

I loved their relationship

Hollywood will remake reboot and reimagine this movie for a modern audience, why not , it will make lots of money.

The way they take care of her at that moment is like taking care of their mom

@@a.g.demada5263 I know. An honorable display of their complete appreciation of her.

@@rhiannasanford6160 true and I like to imagine they ask her to move with them with her children

I genuinely loved that. He adored his wife and treated his maid like a human being in a world where it's considered taboo to do so

Not only that but also to live with them.

Till she does

Best line 😂😂

What does that even mean?😂😂😂

Lowkey like "I'd rather just let him shoot me."

❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you

Thanks. I had forgotten what it was called. 😊

Thank you 😊

true blood!

It makes me wonder how he was ever with Hilly 🤮

​@@amberdenise5954 probably because of family connections and their families kinda expected them to get married at some point.

@@alia_babo yeah that makes sense

@@amberdenise5954He dumped her once he got to know the real Hilly.

@@alia_babo Yeah that’s usually the case of people dating who don’t even like each other.

Absolutely agree with you

I agree. And I do wish all the entertainment platforms including news media the worst culprit portrayed the full spectrum of real humanity rather than just the extreme s. The Heros are romanticised and the villains are demonised and get all the media's attention Each person is a spectrum of good and not so good. We, the support actors are the majority but our stories remain untold. Maybe that is why social media reveals the full spectrum of us because like Donkey in Shrek we are at the back jumping up and down saying "pick me!".

Staff? On their pay it was glorified slavery, dressed up as 'staff'

As did her husband. He treated Minnie with the same respect and gratitude that she did.

Yes, staff is extended family, but why lower case Minnie's name? 🤔😏

@@misstunes1765 😒

I grew up with a Minnie, her name was Mary. I can't even remember a time that she wasn't at our house. Days of our lives playing on the TV while she vacuumed ❤. Sometimes she'd let me help push that behemoth around. Old rainbow vacuum that you filled with water.

She was a lot more skittish in the book and seeks validation and praise from Minnie too. They also left a pretty amusing part that happened in the book out of the movie. (I don’t blame them either, it was pretty weird)

​@Lynnywhereuat007 Sorry for asking what's the name of the book?

@@2t3l54 “the help” it is hilariously funny and heartbreaking at the same time. Such a good read!

​@Lynnywhereuat007 what scene? Could you give us an insight? 😂😅

Was she NEVER able to carry to full term? So sad :( i hoped there would be at least one baby for her and Johnny once she was able to heal awhile, mentally as well as physically. Johnny said when Minnie got there, Celia started getting better, so i was really hoping she would be able to have one go to full term and live ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Sheltered? In the book, it's explained that she was very, very poor before. Like she was considered the lowest of the low. Idk if I'd call that sheltered

Even without the context of the book and just what's in this clip, I would think with the context of a woman in the period and place knowing how to and being perfectly prepared to butcher how own chicken means she wasn't sheltered. Less obvious is her cooking repertoire if only because the first is very regional - corn pone (Both an actual recipe and a slang meaning 'hick' because of the recipe's association with those who often make it) and making potatoes aka 'the starvation food' edible.

​@@AdamStanheightsWifeyou can be poor and still be sheltered. Just because you're poor doesn't mean you've experienced every hardship in the world. My family grew up in poverty, but my sister being the younger one is sheltered and less "street smart" than I was because we're here to protect her not give her more hardships.

@kspade1788 it's impossible to experience EVERY hardship in the world. And being sheltered means that you don't see what the world is truly like. Basically, you don't have the chance to see that the world is hard and sucks. Now, you can be poor and be sheltered, that's a possibility. But Celia wasn't. Being poor in its own right is a hardship. A very, very hard hardship. Celia was poor and treated poorly because of it, she was considered white trash. She's not sheltered at all, because she understood the hardship of being poor and being treated like dogshit because of it. That, right there, is seeing how the world really is. How hard and sucky it truly is because of humanity, and Celia saw that. She wasn't at all sheltered.

@@kspade1788was going to say this. I grew up financially poor but I come from a family that values education. So, I have always been rich and “sheltered” by society terms.

As we all should be.

@@romelleabdulaleem283 true

What kind of comment is this??

@@user-xb5cs8to8q In that time & history it was NOT expected as black people were treated as 2nd class citizens & segregation was fully enforced at the time.

Their relationship is even like a mother/daughter's one

I also love that Jessica Chastain and Octavia Spencer have the same friendship in real life.

Yes, she is.

Role.

​@@Randy-ry9ss No no, I like it better that way 😂

where can i watch this 😭

@kyla1202 I bought the DVD so I could watch it whenever I wanted. Sometimes they show it on cable.

@@bonnemoms5413it’s The Help

​@bonnemoms5413 It's The Help.

Indeed it is!

Well, the look on her face when she says it makes the line twice as good.

​@@heathercontois4501 true and even when she eats after saying that

Especially at the end when she does and that line instantly pops into your head. XD

@@leoniekoning1005 oh yes 😂

Made it sound like a sacrilege 😂

it is basd on a book which i recommend also:D

I have only watched bits and pieces, and I’m happy for the relationship that these two people seem to have. However, it is high time that people of color are depicted as more than maids and gangsters or slaves and mistreated. We don’t need more movies that heighten the awareness of how we were treated. We have way way more to our background than those stereotypical roles.

I actually own the book, it's just as good!

I've watched the movie and completely forgot there was a book 😍 thanks for reminding ! Also, this movie was simply outstanding. The cast was amazing. I think this and A Time To Kill are tied for my all-time favorites

Ty!

I scrolled so long searching for this comment cause baby I was in shambles 🤣🤣🤣

She didn't have a 'hard time accepting' - She was aware of the harm that would be done to her if caught & there's a PROFOUND difference that the 'other' seems to be unaware of. It's both perplexing & sad.

@@isras6702. ON POINT !! One wrong move/word by someone else could cost HER life. ❤️🇨🇦

They did have some form of equality. They were both outcasts in the town they lived in.

@@isras6702 Yes. I find it heartbreaking that humans treat humans who aren't like them with such hatred. God bless you.

​@isras6702 You're right. Such unawareness was also dangerous, hence the repeated reminders from Minnie that a maid and her employer couldn't become too friendly with each other.

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU

@@eastrbliw no prob enjoy

What’s the show called btw

​@@Crescentcrosspoint It's a movie called "The Help."

She didn't have much of a choice to not "befriend " Minny. No one in the women's society wanted anything to do with her.

​@@rangerwillMinnie had a similar problem. The woman who she worked for before told everyone bad things about her so they wouldn't hire her. And she did the same about Celia, in terms of social life.

​​@@rangerwill yeah, because she's kind and different than the other wifes. Everyone makes fun of her for being 'innocent and kind' as dumb. Even tho everyone wants to be friends with Ceila, she will still be friend Minny.

The other thing was that Celia came from the WRONG side of the tracks. She didn't come from a Wealthy family. Even back in the sixties during the Jim Crow era... Poor white families and black families lived in those small areas. They helped each other out, and worked together... She saw Minnie as a (person) not just a maid. You can hear it when she says" I'm awful grateful.😢"

Name tge movie

@@sarachikh5223 Movie name is - The Help

​@@sarachikh5223the book and the movie are both titled "The Help"

@@sarachikh5223 The help

The movie (and book) is “The Help”

We know that now.

True.

But Celia was never supposed to have a maid. She was too low class to be given domestic help

Yes it breaks my heart as well.

Which she DID burn toward the end of the movie

I like to imagine they asked her to live with them with her children

Yes. Hilly would have made that dude regret his life if he married her.

Celia being from a lower class background was in the movie. It’s the whole pretence the other women use for not liking her.

😂​@@willowashe

What's the book called please

He was alright. But one thing I want to know is why the men were portrayed as so weak??

she reminds me of luanne from King of the hill.

❤

Plus she was dealing with her own demons. Her own husband was abusive.

@@lorireed8046 yep! Although the poo pie was the best

She didn't have much of a choice. That was still the 1950s Southern United States. Celia may have been white trash but she was still white and could've had Minny killed for the slightest infraction

Yes, both are wonderful!

❤❤❤ thanks ill try it

@@Mae-vy4pr Addendum, after shaking bag, lay bag on flat surface, rip open bag, check to make certain chicken is thoroughly coated. Turn heat to high, wait four, five minutes . Add no more than two pieces of chicken at a time. The reason for this , if too much chicken is add at a once , or the oil is not hot enough, the oil will be too cool. and make for soft gummy like coating. The oil must be hot enough to sear the outer coating for crispy chicken . Don’t forget to jump back from the stovetop when placing the chicken in the pan. Make sure you have oven mitts , and frying pan lid close at 🤚 hand. Good luck

@@lineaalba4035do you ever turn the heat down so you dont burn it? Or do you put it in the oven once its golden brown to finish cooking it?

@@christophercathcart881 well, I must admit, the heat on the stovetop is continuously monitored. Keeping the heat or flame between medium high to high, as needed. Mostly it was completed on stovetop. Because between baking the biscuits, cornbread, macaroni and cheese, or peach cobbler, nobody wanted to wait for the chicken to be completed by baking in the oven. But one of my aunt , would do just that, start the frying on the top. And one by one as she pull each piece from the pan . She’d lay it on an aluminum foil wrapped sheet pan and place then in the oven. But then, she had a fan she used in the kitchen. Remember this was another time and place, usually you were up before dawn to start your daily chores, like cooking. Before the heat of the day began to sap your energy. There was no central air, no air conditioners in ‘our’ part of town. At most a fan, like my aunt owned, was moved from room to room as needed. That’s if you were ‘rich’ and could afford your home to be wired for electricity. People did say , aunt Lucille did ‘marry up’, that fan proved it.

The same here as a girl of the seventies!!

Chastain is a wonderful actress and human. She should be in all the things.

I like the fact she didn't even blame Minny for that 😂
