      Ironically, I know exactly what was wrong with Celia Foote, and it was easily fixed even back then. Her cervix was too thin, so when the fetus reached a certain weight, it just falls out. All they had to do was have a doctor sew it up, once pregnancy is confirmed, then remove the stitches at 35 weeks. Voila, a healthy baby.
      One of the occupational hazards of being a nurse is always wanting to just jump into movies and books and "fix" everyone's medical issues. 😊😢

      I don’t know if this is entirely true, but it’s suggested that all the stress Celia was going through (as well as drinking coke on a pretty regular basis) is what caused it. So hopefully, she managed to have children later on now that it seems like she’s much healthier

    Emma was pretty well known by the time this film was released. She had already starred in Superbad, Easy A, Crazy Stupid Love (was released around the same time as The Help) and Zombieland. This film definitely put Viola, Jessica and Octavia on the map. All 3 received Oscar nominations, with Octavia winning. Viola also came close to winning Best Actress over Meryl that year. I think it was revealed she was in 2nd place.

      I don't follow how the white people were the saviors at the end of the movie? Some were allowed to have positive character arcs, but the only "savior" could be considered Skeeter. However, I'd argue that her role was necessary to the publishing of the book from the maids perspective and is a sort of "red herring" white savior. She had the contact in publishing and was able to get the book published. It doesn't mean she took credit for their work or anything like that. The book was even credited to "Anonymous". She simply provided a medium for the maids to tell their stories. My two cents anyway.

    My take on this movie is that, despite her wrongdoings, Hilly is (or at least used to) be a good friend to Skeeter. She took her under her wings and socially "elevated" skeeter. I notice this from the fact that Skeeter didn't get asked out by anyone for the Dance and Hilly is dating Johnny. There is no way these two could be friends in any real time situation yet they are. Hilly encourage Skeeter to see past her mother's disappointments and approval (the comment on the "Stuart is absolutely coming this time" is a huge indication that Skeeter is burdened by that), she encourages her to get "good things" for her by setting things up between Skeeter and Stuart, her husband's cousin, which means that she wants Skeeter to be a part of close family, and she's very protective of her (when she kicks Jolene foot for making a backhanded comment about Skeeter's graduation news, and she encourages Skeeter for the job). This makes me realize that we shouldn't be blinded by personal relations when bad things is happening. So many people excuse bad acts done by their relatives/friends just because they're "decent people" but bullshit should always be called out, and Skeeter did just that.

    • @katek.4692
      @katek.4692 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Just an FYI: A mother wouldn't carry *[or miscarry]* a fetus until she is at least 10 weeks along.
      Mothers who miscarry before that 10-week mark would pass an embryo inside of them, assuming that they even pass anything during their miscarriage, for there are people, myself included, who didn't bleed/pass anything during and/or even after the miscarriage and had to have a DNC to remove the embryo or fetus, depending on how far along the mother was at the time of the miscarriage.
      I don't know if the movie clarifies how far along that particular character was when she had the miscarriage the film shows, seeing as I've never seen the movie outside of this condensed reaction, unfortunately.
      However, if she were fairly early on in her pregnancy, I would imagine that it would be pretty challenging to not only discern an embryo *[especially]* from the rest of the tissue and such that discharges from the body during a miscarriage, especially considering how tiny embryos are up to a certain point in the pregnancy, but enough to place the embryo in a box to bury.
      That is just assuming that she was pretty early on in her pregnancy, though.

      Our suffering is commodified and made palatable by making movies about our suffering. White people feel better after crying along with a dramatic scene. FYI: The bathroom scene never happened. It was done for dramatic purposes. If you need to dramatise suffering to make people realise how bad it was and still is: You never really cared and this movie makes you feel good about that. Especially when you tell your white friends that they HAVE to see it. It will 'open their eyes'. Were they closed the whole time?!

It recalls the life of a 110 year old woman who had been a slave and was immancipated. She also had a role in "Roots". That was back in the 1970s, but both of those would be worth you watching.

    Ironically, I know exactly what was wrong with Celia Foote, and it was easily fixed even back then. Her cervix was too thin, so when the fetus reached a certain weight, it just falls out. All they had to do was have a doctor sew it up, once pregnancy is confirmed, then remove the stitches at 35 weeks. Voila, a healthy baby.

Sowing up just increases the chances to carry to term. But its still high risk and not always successful. Far from it. Lying in bed for months on end, knowing that even a sneeze can induce labour? Going on meds to surpress the braxton hicks going into full active labour? Oh yeah, it's SO easy. Just stich it up, indeed...i still miscarried!
