Mr. Jonnys part was short but it made realized why he chose Miss. Celia to marry in the end . He was more down to earth like Celia and he didnt seem to be a racist
Celia was the most genuine character. She was hurting but still wanted to look out for everyone else and her husband is so darling. Celia has real class.
Celia is a sheltered country girl with a kind heart, she sees Minnie as someone who is helping her when she needs it. She sees her as a friend. In a place where Minnie is used to casual cruelty and the brutality of the world, that kindness drew her in, not only because it was so rare especially between races, but because she knew that kindness made her vulnerable when Celia was swimming with sharks.
She didn't care if she was "The Help". She saw Minnie as a friend and that's what I loved about this part of the movie. I'd sit with Minnie anytime. ❤❤❤
The stern look when Celia says "I'm fine right here Minnie" sends me chills and warms my soul every single time I watch it. By far my favorite character in the movie.
In the book it explains that Celia came from a town called sugar ditch which was the poorest of the poor. She was considered even “lower” than Minnie. So when she married Johnny who had a lot of money she still had that humble nature about her where she didn’t think she was better than anyone and therefore looked at Minnie more like an equal. But overall she was incredibly lonely and all she wanted was a big a family.
Celia is admirable and noble for her time. She treated minnie with love and respect as should be . Staff is extended family the people that make sure we are full happy and in a clean environment. ❤😊
Their friendship and their screen time together were the absolute best parts of this film. The roles written for each of their characters were superb. Hope they are in another movie together with lots of scenes together in well written roles.
