I find it both ironic and hypothetical how easily you have commentary on the wrongs of the characters and their racism in this movie yet I'm sure NONE of you say a word about the racism in your own families and friends. at this point we all know that it takes place and it's honestly disheartening knowing that even tho you can acknowledge it; you do nothing about it in real life. There's no place for that type of cowardice in the fight for justice and equality.

Sometimes I like to think that Minnie and her kids moved into their home permanently after they got away from Leroy and that they got to feel some fulfillment that way. After all, they do have a ton of space in that house and it's only the two of them. Minnie wouldn't have to make a dangerous trip to and from their house anymore (we see how dangerous it is around Jackson when a man was shot) and she wouldn't have to suffer domestic abuse anymore. If Leroy hit Minnie, I'm sure he hit his kids too. I'm glad they got away from him.

The mother is partly responsible. We know Hilly's father was an awful influence. So the mother should have taken more steps to make sure the daughter isn't influenced as much by him and build a close relationship with her daughter. If the 'Help' can influence the white baby girl to be kind despite her racist mother, why couldn't Hilly's mother influenced her daughter to be better despite her racist father. (In these days the mother should divorce and leave a racist man like that, but I understand in those days it wouldn't be as easy for Hilly's mother to leave her father. Which is why I said that she should have taught Hilly whilst being married to Hilly's father)

Growing up in Mississippi in the 90's it still was similar to this. My mother and grandmother were maids. My mom only got paid $25/week to clean a 3 story of a Lawyer's family. For years, the mother of the house would leave traps to see if my mom would steal, just like in the movie. The woman laughed when my mother said she planned to have us go to college, although my sister went to the same Highschool as her daughters. Thankfully my mom quit and we moved to Florida when I was 13.

Medgar Evers was a civil rights activist who helped organize a boycott of service stations that denied African-Americans use of their restrooms. Until his assassination in 1963, he was involved in multiple boycotts and played an integral role in the desegregation of the University of Mississippi. In the final weeks before his death, Evers was the target of multiple threats, not surprising considering the heat of the controversy over civil rights. On June 12, 1963, Evers returned home from a meeting with NAACP lawyers. After he emerged from his car carrying a t-shirt that read "Jim Crow Must Go," he was shot in the back and killed. Medgar Evers was buried in Arlington Cemetery on June 19 and was mourned across the country. That two juries composed entirely of whites failed to convict the man accused of Evers' murder, white supremacist Byron De La Beckwith, caused even greater outrage. In 1994, Byron De La Beckwith was finally convicted for the murder of Medgar Evers. He died in prison in 2001 after failing to win his appeals. - from an article by Sarah Sacha Dollacker, 2009

35:36 The book confirms something about that ring - it was a garnet. It wasn't even valuable. Hilly's mum gave it to her, but Hilly never wore it, she just got it appraised and didn't bother to wear it once she found out it was basically worthless. But of course when she tells the others about the theft of the ring she claims it was a ruby. The strangest thing about Hilly (to me at least) is that in spite of everything, she does genuinely love her children (she has two in the book). You can see it in the movie from the way she kissed her sons head before handing him onto Yula Mae and how she says 'do you want a cheese sandwich' to him in this scene.

Always loved this movie - great reactions! 1. Must admit I cringed when B said he recognized Octavia Spencer from "Ma" - she's probably better known for "Hidden Figures" (2016), another fantastic movie about how African American women contributed to the space program/getting the US to the moon. Also includes Janelle Monae, Taraji P. Henson, Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst, Jim Parsons...etc. 2. Not that I side with Elizabeth Leefolt ("bad mom") AT ALL, but as a woman, I feel the need to point out the subtle comment Abilene makes at 3:00 - that the "birthing blues" got a hold of Miss Leefolt pretty hard. This is a euphemism for post-partum depression, underlined by Abilene saying later that Miss Leefolt "shouldn't be having babies" and having a negative reaction to news of Miss Leefolt's second pregnancy. PPD is very complex and still being studied, but it was definitely not widely accepted at the time - which makes it really sad to think this woman got pregnant, had kids and probably would continue to do so despite it being mentally, emotionally and physically harmful to herself and her children because societal and peer pressure say a woman's duty [during that time] is to get married, have kids and manage the home (another reason why Hilly's husband leaves his wife to handle Yule Mae's loan request). Also loved how you guys showed so much empathy for Cecilia's miscarriages. Such a poignant scene. 💔

The check that Celia gave Hilly was suppose to pay for the "damages" of Hilly's evening gown and throwing up at the party. I feel like Mae Mobely???? Elizabeth's daughter will be the new Skeeter. Anyways, READ THE BOOK! It talks more about Constantine and her kids. Hilly is more demonic. It also describes that Elizabeth had postpartum depression (doesn't justify her actions) and that she is very controlled by Hilly along with the other moms of Jackson For example^^ If Hilly got married so will they. Once Hilly gets pregnant and has kids so will the other women. It was messed up.

Viola Davis (Best Actress nominee). Octavia Spencer (Supporting Actress winner). Jessica Chastain (Supporting Actress nominee). Emma Stone. Allison Janney. Cicely Tyson. Bryce Dallas Howard. Sissy Spacek. This was a cast of casts. The power of those women across the board. Incredible performances. I never get tired of watching this movie.

Rest in Peace Cecily Tyson. I always appreciate her motivation speech. The Help is one of my favorite movies bc it has powerful women especially helping other women to rise up against racism. Im glad yall wonderful men watch this movie & your reactions are very genuine. Try Color Purple if yall haven't seen it!

Big thing with Abileen and Mae Mobley that was left out: Abileen would play games with her to teach her life lessons. Example: pretend to sit at a counter, and no matter what, you can't move. This was sometimes played with her brother, so he'd sit and shed throw stuff at him, or vice versa. But the objective is the same: no matter what's said or done to you, you can't move. Another thing to note is that Mae Mobley was also starting school in the book, and she had a seriously racist teacher. The whole thing came to a head when her dad caught her playing the above game, and angrily demanded she tell him who taught her the game. And she said it was her teacher!

I still remember the first time I watched this with my great grandmother, and she loved this movie. I don't know if it's because it's something she experienced or just likes movies of her era, but we also watched Hidden Figures and the Color Purple. When I go visit her we watch these movies all the time

I was born 1986. Yes. But I think every black/POC person still knows how racism can feel. I expirience it quite often even beeing in 2023. And when this movie came out I felt like, this was made for us but especially for whute people who will never understanding how it feels to be discriminated just for your skin colour. Most of them. And I'm happy for every friend and person I was and will be able to show them this movie. Same with "Harriet". If you guys never watched it you should do it. And "Hidden Figures" is also a great movie. Got all three on DVD.

For the second half of the book, Minnie is pregnant. This is relevant because they mention that her husband never hits her when she's pregnant. Also: towards the end, she has Sugar start working for Celia so she can take over when Minnie has to go on maternity leave.

2:58 Mrs. Leefolt the blues she had most likely postpartum and as it was during a time when mental health was almost minuscule its no wonder she behaved that way to her kid. Absolutely inexcusable but it does explain it 9:38 the very first movie i watched Cicely in was Because of Winn-Dixie. Such an incredible lady may she rest in peace. 26:45 Celia was lonely and lonely people tend to be kindest folks youll ever find. Her and Minny’s relationship is my fav of both book and movie. 7:28 the hate mindset like that is sickening and difficult to understand how it exists. Yet we see it in every generation and every culture. Thankfully it is a cycle that can be broken but it takes lots of work and most often blood. The time set for this movie was only a few decades ago, not that long ago, as there are still people living from that era teaching their grandchildren that negativity. 44:49 the mom is like Mrs. Leefolt they bend under peer pressure. If they werent around such hate they may have been better people.

The nice gentleman in the bus Abeline/Viola Davis speaks to is Nelsan Ellis. I met him once at a convention in Bonn, Germany. Got me a foto and a hug. He performed as LaFayette serving in a Diner „Bellefleur's Bar and Grill“ in the TV Show „True Blood“. The character was hardly mentioned in the books. Nelsan was so brilliant and strong like a true stage actor. The audience adored him. So the character got more profile. Tragically Nelsan died unexpectedly of heart failure. He was 39 years old. We lost a great talent in 2017.

One of my favorite movies. It was my introduction to the brilliance of Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer. The racism they had to face working as caretakers for peoples children is mind boggling. If someone is taking care of your kids and cooking your meals one would think you’d be nice to that person.

Idk if you guys will see this comment, but I think is important to recognize and have a conversation about how most black actresses in this movie have since expressed regret on this. In part, because ultimately this is a white savior movie, in which a white character rescues these black ladies. Also, because the story is surrounding too much of the white dynamics rather than the black characters, even though the emotional arc comes from the pain of the black women. There’s tons of little things too, just nuances that are overlooked or simplified in the story that in real live are important to acknowledge.

good movie choices guys this movie is incredible Celia storyline is heartbreaking she's the one who deserved the most to become a mother and she can't when you know that Aibileen work for a family with two kids and the mom doesn't change her daughter diapers .. ( well if she has post partum depression is hard l) but she wanted to follow Hilly step so.. you can see how Celia is an amazing person since the first day she treated Minnie like a human and Johnny did too make you understand why he left Hilly .. Aibileen story is also very hard she spend her time raising others people childs and she had to see her son died and being completly helpless .. that's even harder when you know that things like that still happens ..

About the toilets outside, it's a small detail but when we see Abilene using it, she's visibly sweating a lot. I think it's making the point of saying how poorly made they probably were, and there's most likely no air conditioning and no windows, unlike the bathrooms in the house (obviously). They will have been just small wooden cubicles put up quickly with poor quality, and given the heat they can get in Mississipi, it just goes to show how little they give a sh*t about people of colour/ "the help".
