@Dickum N Lickum the V: Emperor Of TH-cam. I agree. But how are "white housholds" must suddenly integrate people, so different from them on so many levels? Why should they? I just explain why this reluctance exists towards other races.
That One plus I don’t see what’s wrong with her not being like other girls in that time period they were all awful women if anything you should be happy that she wasn’t like them.
This is when I knew Bryce Dallas Howard didn't get her roles through nepotism. She was sooo good. She truly convinced me!! I hated her in this movie. What a great actress!!!
Jessica Smithey I agree with you, but despite that, there are worse films when it comes to minimizing the horrors of our past. I've seen Hairspray and hated it. I understand that it was meant for children also, but it reduced the suffering of coloured people at the time to, "I just think it's stupid that we can't dance together on tv."
Abileen actually talks about the violence they get as black (Abi son was killed by racist ) hayley also said to skeeter that they were Real racist in this town i think she meant kkk
I never understood "They carry different diseases than us." Ok...but you're ok with us cooking your food, cleaning your house and raising your children. Our 'diseases' didn't bother you then.
@@tychoderkommentator2989 not necessarily true, in the case of fresh off the boat migrants in some cases you can be regionally susceptible to diseases the locals have an environmentally developed immunity to. Either way their thinking is illogical because these people have lived with them for generations
Exactly. And in the past (though I'd hesitate to guess until when) white people used black nursemaids. So.... No disease in breast milk. I would have liked to see Hilly reminded of that fact. It probably would've been another shit pie episode.
The way she says, "Don't you want them to take their business outside?" is so unbelievably dehumanizing. That's the way you talk about a housepet, not a person. Just disgusting and heartbreaking.
I take my dog outside to do its business. I couldn't imagine treating another human being like that. The hypocrisy to be fine with them cooking your food and raising your children but then act like they are so dirty they belong outside like dogs. Tragic
Ironically in the book the only nice thing said about Hilly is that she's a loving and attentive mother to her kids (she has a boy and a girl in the book) and its Aibileen who makes that observation about Hilly because she compares how Hilly and Elizabeth interact with their kids.
I love Skeeter's response. Basically saying- hey Hilly, you're the one with a problem sharing, maybe you should be the one who gets the worse situation.
The pure disdain I had for Hilly boiled my blood to the point where I've only been able to watch this movie once. A true testament of what a phenomenal actress Bryce Dallas Howard is.
You know, Hilly managed to get everyone to hate to the point where when she ACTUALLY ate shit, we loved it.....take a second to think about how great her acting must be to make everyone hate the character. THAT takes skill.
I often use to wonder growing up why I didn't really hear the elders of the family talk much about the past. Movies like this reminds me who the hell wants to revisit being treated horribly. No wonder they don't talk about back in the day unless you ask them.
And now you know why, white people get so mad when it IS brought up. They don't want to revisit when their Elders treated Blacks (and other minorities) so horribly! It's also why they always jump WAY back to Slavery.....they don't want to remind us of the BS their White Mothers and Fathers....put Black Mothers, Fathers and children through. They want you to think, it happened soooo long ago, it doesn't matter NOW...... My Father (a Veteran) was 21 when the Civil Rights Act passed......Forced to live Separate but Equal...... True there is no one alive that was ever a slave or remembers slavery but there are PLENTY of Whites and Blacks that are alive and remember what it was like in the 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!
Skeeters the only one who's polite enough to thank Abilene for pouring her drink. She's the only person in the room who respects her enough to acknowledge her outside of being demeaning from her.
My mother was from Corinth Mississippi. She grew up with a black "nurse maid" named Carlee. In 1968, I was 5 years old. My parents would take us to visit from Atlanta to my relatives in Corinth. I loved to see Carlee. She would hug and squeeze me harder than my mother. She was a portly woman and whenever she hugged me I remember I just sank in the cleft of her bosom. Sounds strange to remember such details I know. This movie takes me back to that time. I am glad things changed but I loved her so much.
Few things: 1. We see how Skeeter has grown from someone trying to steer the conversation (unsuccessfully) out of respect for Aibleen to later someone who tells Elizabeth off for mistreating her daughter. 2. That dress worn by their friend (Anna "Aca-cuse Me?" Camp) looks like the dress Peggy Olson wore to Easter Sunday. 3. Skeeter is the only woman not wearing pink at that table. 4. Hilly's too girly girl for her age look is made less ridiculous in this film adaptation.
In the book Skeeter does reflect on herself and her behaviour and squirms at the things she said I think its in one of Aibileen's stories where Skeeter says African-Americans pray too much and she's horrified by it. Also at first she's a little annoyed at Aibileen writing her stories because she thinks it'll take up more time with her rewriting them but she agrees and is surprised to learn Aibileen writes two hours or more a night which is more than she herself writes and she only needs to edit and correct the odd spelling mistake because Aibileen is actually a good writer. Very slowly Aibileen and Skeeter build trust and become friendly in fact Skeeter starts to prefer Aibileen over her friends because she knows how they really behave behind closed doors. It really shocks Skeeter how bad some of the maids experiences are. Skeeter really grows up and mature's throughout the book.
Skeeter: Maybe we should just build you a bathroom outside Hilly. - Slay it Skeeter! Slay it! Hilly: You need not joke about the colored situation. - Oh she's not. She's just saying that if you are for treating people like an animal that has to go outside to use the bathroom you deserve no better.
I really feel so sad for the black people back than. How much they went through, the pain and struggled, I can’t imagine. I’m so glad that in today’s age, everyone are treated equally. Bless you and everyone, take care and always respect one another!
Gloria Kalunga I think society are more accepting and open-minded. Look at Meghan Markle, an American accepting into the British Royal, Barrack Obama was elected as US president, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jackson loved and admired by all around the world, I could name many more. MLK, Rosa Parks, Malcolm X etc fights for justice and equality, and that do help to make a difference.
"I'll do whatever it takes to protect my children" gave blacks the stereotype that they're lazy when they literally took care of their kids and cooked and cleaned.
In a later scene she writes a newsletter that reads drop old toilets on hilly holbrook's front lawn next thing we see a lot of toliet's on hilly's frount lawn.
@@ashleysmith8402 the movie doesn't include it but in the book Skeeter pays her maid Pascagoula's brothers $25 each to put those toilets on Hilly's front garden during the night when she was away for the weekend

It makes the front page news of the Jackson Journal but unfortunately it backfires on Skeeter because Hilly uses those toilets towards installing separate toilets for other people'd maids.
I love how they're thinking its too dangerous to share bathrooms with black folks but theyre fine with black people cooking their food. 😂 guess that would require them to actually do work though so theyre not gonna try changing that
Just posted under another comment, it was their way to control. A realization I came to being an adult abused child. Those in power always want to control their victims. If they realize or admit it or not.
I love the fact that when Skitter tells Abiline that the radio reminded her of Constantine, Abiline looks at her with an annoyed look and tell her "I know her, we were in church circle" meaning "yes I know her, and I know what you did to her" but when Skitter asks her if she's seen her lately, her face completely changes because she realises Skitter has no idea of what happened to her :(
Elizabeth and Jolene (the other two friends playing bridge) represent most Americans. They recognize that something is bad, but refuse to do anything because it will "disrupt the natural order", and it's convenient and comfortable for them for things to stay just the way they are. It's only when we step out of the norm that true, positive change happens.
Though this movie is criticized because of its white savior trope I still like it. Besides, Skeeter wants to do what is right. She doesn't treat the maids as maids, she treats them as equals.
As a black person myself (as you can obviously tell fro my cringe profile pic) I don’t take this kind of stuff seriously. People can change overtime, and people who are like this are from a different generation, and I don’t blame them. They were taught this was the right way of thinking. They didn’t know anything else. Besides, most of the stereotypes are pretty ridiculous, anyway, and I like to laugh at myself.
so what if they was taught this way of thinking .. even an idiot could figure out treating people like this is wrong they knew what they was doing and did it with pure malicious intent
You are rational. In my classroom where I was the only chinese kid in that class, we were studying Australian history, part of it was learning about how the government was teying to enforce "white Australia" with slogans like "Two Wongs don't make a white". I laughed out loud. No one did. Funny thing, I was bullied a lot back then and my bullies who'd put me down out loud were also mysteriously silent about this. It's just a slogan of the past and it's a cute English pun. I enjoyed it. I pesonally don't believe they were 100% naive in the past, but I do agree with your thinking and sentiments about this movie.
_The book & this movie were so sad. How can living like this not drive someone crazy. I’m so glad I wasn’t born in that era. Viola Davis character was so strong 💪 & had a good heart ❤️ despite it all. It’s crazy how those white women were raised & taken care of by black women. Only to grow up and hate them and do them wrong._
This is our RECENT past, not distant. My grandma turns 101 next month, constantly tells us to be on the lookout for rising fascism. That not long ago she was exiled for inviting her black loved ones to her home.
Im white and when I was a caregiver, many treated me that way. Right down to using a seperate bathroom. Could NOT use the driveway. Was asked to do jobs that were forbidden by contract...such as washing floors on my hands and knees.
Alice Graham and as a black woman the black community is still feeling disgusted because we’re fighting racism right now after all the years it’s a shame smh.
I’m white and every time i see scenes like this (knowing the treatment of poc were a lot worse than this) where poc are treated like dirt gets me so infuriated. It breaks my heart to know at some point we didn’t accept them. And that some people don’t now. It’s something I’m ashamed of even though I’m not racist. I just want to apologize to everyone victimized.
“They carry different diseases...” This part of the movie mentions about Blacks carrying diseases and spreading them to White people. It's just such a shame that even until now there are people who think non-White people carry and spread diseases that White people don't. A prejudicial mentality that continued from the 19th century and in this movie's case even up to the 1960's. It just reminds me that these days there are people blame all the Chinese for spreading the virus, and that has especially led to anti-Asian violence in America, even attacking people who aren't infected. People need to realise diseases and in fact viruses are non-discriminatory: they've affected people from all backgrounds.
I work for a very important hotel chain in Cancún. I am a concierge. One day a lady (white) asked me for the shows schedule I told her where to pick a sheet with the information she put a face like 🙄 I told her I will get one for her (as part of the service we offer at the property) when I went back to her With the sheet she told me “ did you where to america for the sheet or what?” And started laughing at me, It really pissed me off and I take the sheet of her hand and I told her to get it by herself... And I told her “By the way study geography you still in America”. Hahhahahaa I wish I had taken a picture of her face and make a meme. 🤣
how can you even ask someone something without saying please even if it’s their job? My biggest pet peeve is impoliteness like how can you as a human feel like you are above other humans who are the same as you?
It mostly happens in arab nations now, like Saudi Arabia and Dubai...its also pretty much slavery often and they take peoples passports away sometimes. This is not a white/black issue....its a global human issue.
In Brazil, my country, old houses and apartments were always designed with a bathroom behind the kitchen, so that the maids did not use the same toilet as the bosses. Some properties built today still have this. Here, architects were more efficient in terms of segregation, unfortunately.
Elizabeth should’ve been friends with Celia because Celia wanted to be friends with Elizabeth but Elizabeth was friends with Hilly aka Queen B of The Help and Hilly was stopping Elizabeth from being friends with Celia because she had a poor background and married Johnny. Skeeter told Hilly that might be you, so I’m guessing that Skeeter was fine with Celia joining their social circle but Hilly was 100% no with Celia joining. No wonder Skeeter realised how mean Hilly was to Celia and Aibileen and Minnie and a lot of people so she ditched Hilly, which is what Hilly deserved. In fact, Hilly deserves no friends and she deserves to be hated by the whole town
I love the 50s but my God. How frigging awful. 😢 It's the one part of the 50s that I am speechless about. 💔 Regardless of what color our skin is we all bleed the same shade of red.
These kinds of people still exist to this extent, just more silently and amongst themselves. Sad. What bothers me is POC had to call them Mam or Sir…ugh drives me nuts.
@@Starmadien2019 It's not always being against blacks (not each other, because blacks don't like whites, they are against us). Sometimes it's just the cultural gap. So, the skin colour is the last thing that disturbs us. Another thing is to get mixed. Some a repulsed by this idea, and I think rightfully so. Not only culturally it's a disaster for both sides, but especially for children, who are not white/europeneen/ocidental nor black/african. Every so called "american" who is black, is not just american - his grand-grand mother for sure was somewhere from Africa. Biologically it's also not perfectly ok, since the physiology is slightly different in races (different risks of different illness for whites and blacks for exmaple). And so on. I wouldn't want my child brings a fiancé from other race or worse lgbt. Now you with your "acceptance" are just hyporcites.
Why do you have to apply any type of questioning to figure out if it is wrong? If the movie was about people of another race who hated you because of the color of your skin, how much questioning would it take to determine that it was wrong?
Man. Seeing and imagining how African Americans were treated makes my blood boil. Few things get me upset like our American history. It honestly makes question our humanity.

Besides, most of the stereotypes are pretty ridiculous, anyway, and I like to laugh at myself.
so what if they was taught this way of thinking ..
even an idiot could figure out treating people like this is wrong
they knew what they was doing and did it with pure malicious intent
@@saitamabaldy2566 people can never accept the horrors of the past for what it was.
You are rational. In my classroom where I was the only chinese kid in that class, we were studying Australian history, part of it was learning about how the government was teying to enforce "white Australia" with slogans like "Two Wongs don't make a white". I laughed out loud. No one did. Funny thing, I was bullied a lot back then and my bullies who'd put me down out loud were also mysteriously silent about this. It's just a slogan of the past and it's a cute English pun. I enjoyed it.
I pesonally don't believe they were 100% naive in the past, but I do agree with your thinking and sentiments about this movie.
Bryce Dallas Howard should have had more attention for this film. She was so great as Hilly. I hated the character but loved the acting so much.
I respect Skeeter for apologizing to Aibileen on behalf of these c words
"Wouldn't you rather them take their business outside?" Like we're damn animals or something. This movie is BRUTAL.
Skeeter had a kind heart for Aibileen. You can tell by Skeeter’s face on 1:28 and on 1:37.
The blonde has a historical “Karen Cut!”
_The book & this movie were so sad. How can living like this not drive someone crazy. I’m so glad I wasn’t born in that era. Viola Davis character was so strong 💪 & had a good heart ❤️ despite it all. It’s crazy how those white women were raised & taken care of by black women. Only to grow up and hate them and do them wrong._
I love their southern accents😂
I'm from Mississippi born and raised so I know what u mean lol😂
Bryce Dallas Howard should've been nominated for an Oscar for this movie.
This is our RECENT past, not distant.
My grandma turns 101 next month, constantly tells us to be on the lookout for rising fascism. That not long ago she was exiled for inviting her black loved ones to her home.
Celia Foote was my favorite character along with Skeeter !
The self-indulgence and self-righteousness of Skeeter is beyond hilarious.
So many Karens in one room!
I love their accents and the way they say abeline 😂
After this movie, Emma stone is always MS. Skeeter to me. Amazing performance Ms. Skeeter!
Skeeter is the only one who said thank you when Abilene filled up their drinks
I simply do feel bad for black people in that era. Glad that's over, love you black and beautiful people : )
M Kay it’s not that over but thanks for supporting us.
Im white and when I was a caregiver, many treated me that way. Right down to using a seperate bathroom. Could NOT use the driveway. Was asked to do jobs that were forbidden by contract...such as washing floors on my hands and knees.
I think it’s telling that skeeter is the only one to say thank you as Abilene poured her more to drink.
Horrible people and horrible mothers.
I'm white and southern, and I couldn't stand the foul Hilly. I can't imagine the disgust the black community feels towards her.
Alice Graham and as a black woman the black community is still feeling disgusted because we’re fighting racism right now after all the years it’s a shame smh.
I really liked Hilly's hair coloring, clothes and her house. I also really liked Skeeters' car.
Watching this in 2019 I just want to rip through the screen and yell at them that it’s not the 1900s anymore and that Abilene is a human too.
What is the title of this movie?
A bathroom outside for hilly I would support That! Nicely said sketter !
I’m white and every time i see scenes like this (knowing the treatment of poc were a lot worse than this) where poc are treated like dirt gets me so infuriated. It breaks my heart to know at some point we didn’t accept them. And that some people don’t now. It’s something I’m ashamed of even though I’m not racist. I just want to apologize to everyone victimized.
This is a brilliant movie but some of the scenes, such as this one, are just so difficult to watch. It’s horrible.
"You're a Godless woman, aren't you tired!"
“They carry different diseases...”
This part of the movie mentions about Blacks carrying diseases and spreading them to White people.
It's just such a shame that even until now there are people who think non-White people carry and spread diseases that White people don't. A prejudicial mentality that continued from the 19th century and in this movie's case even up to the 1960's. It just reminds me that these days there are people blame all the Chinese for spreading the virus, and that has especially led to anti-Asian violence in America, even attacking people who aren't infected. People need to realise diseases and in fact viruses are non-discriminatory: they've affected people from all backgrounds.
have you ever heard of a disease spread through different butts touching a toilet seat?
"maybe we should just build you a bathroom outside, Hilly".
This makes me think of the trans bathroom bills
I just Can Not believe a time like that and even worse, Existed!
Racism is everywhere it will never stop we maybe different in race but we all bleed the same damn color : red
I work for a very important hotel chain in Cancún. I am a concierge. One day a lady (white) asked me for the shows schedule I told her where to pick a sheet with the information she put a face like 🙄 I told her I will get one for her (as part of the service we offer at the property) when I went back to her With the sheet she told me “ did you where to america for the sheet or what?” And started laughing at me, It really pissed me off and I take the sheet of her hand and I told her to get it by herself... And I told her “By the way study geography you still in America”. Hahhahahaa I wish I had taken a picture of her face and make a meme. 🤣
What movie is this?
how can you even ask someone something without saying please even if it’s their job? My biggest pet peeve is impoliteness like how can you as a human feel like you are above other humans who are the same as you?
Kaya Lauren
Well said!
Stokedhavok thank you!
Kaya Lauren
You’re welcome, my Friend! 😃
I even say thank you at the check out when I shop for groceries when I'm paying 😑 It costs nothing to be nice.
Paul Lannister
Right! It costs nothing to be kind, so why not do it?
This is still happening in many countries around the world where there are household staff.
It mostly happens in arab nations now, like Saudi Arabia and Dubai...its also pretty much slavery often and they take peoples passports away sometimes. This is not a white/black issue....its a global human issue.
In Brazil, my country, old houses and apartments were always designed with a bathroom behind the kitchen, so that the maids did not use the same toilet as the bosses. Some properties built today still have this.
Here, architects were more efficient in terms of segregation, unfortunately.
disgusting.
Can I just ask, what film is this?
I like how she says “black ppl carry different diseases” but in reality our blood has proven to be immune to most diseases out here💀
Elizabeth should’ve been friends with Celia because Celia wanted to be friends with Elizabeth but Elizabeth was friends with Hilly aka Queen B of The Help and Hilly was stopping Elizabeth from being friends with Celia because she had a poor background and married Johnny. Skeeter told Hilly that might be you, so I’m guessing that Skeeter was fine with Celia joining their social circle but Hilly was 100% no with Celia joining. No wonder Skeeter realised how mean Hilly was to Celia and Aibileen and Minnie and a lot of people so she ditched Hilly, which is what Hilly deserved. In fact, Hilly deserves no friends and she deserves to be hated by the whole town
I love the 50s but my God. How frigging awful. 😢 It's the one part of the 50s that I am speechless about. 💔
Regardless of what color our skin is we all bleed the same shade of red.
Bryce Dallas Howard did such a good job in this movie.
These kinds of people still exist to this extent, just more silently and amongst themselves. Sad. What bothers me is POC had to call them Mam or Sir…ugh drives me nuts.
I love the fashion in this so much not hilly though she literally just makes my blood boil. I love the actress though she plays the part so well.
This is absolutely disgusting. Everyone should be treated as an equal.
Is it just me, or are Karens also more likely to hold racist views?
Do whatever you need to "protect" your children but YET! they take care of your children!🤨
Racism it doesn't actually make sense when you apply the slightest bit of questioning.
@Zach Kabia why does the color of someone skin mean they're lesser than me?
What the hell is the point of being so against each other.
@@Starmadien2019 It's not always being against blacks (not each other, because blacks don't like whites, they are against us). Sometimes it's just the cultural gap. So, the skin colour is the last thing that disturbs us. Another thing is to get mixed. Some a repulsed by this idea, and I think rightfully so. Not only culturally it's a disaster for both sides, but especially for children, who are not white/europeneen/ocidental nor black/african. Every so called "american" who is black, is not just american - his grand-grand mother for sure was somewhere from Africa. Biologically it's also not perfectly ok, since the physiology is slightly different in races (different risks of different illness for whites and blacks for exmaple). And so on.
I wouldn't want my child brings a fiancé from other race or worse lgbt.
Now you with your "acceptance" are just hyporcites.
Why do you have to apply any type of questioning to figure out if it is wrong? If the movie was about people of another race who hated you because of the color of your skin, how much questioning would it take to determine that it was wrong?
Man. Seeing and imagining how African Americans were treated makes my blood boil. Few things get me upset like our American history. It honestly makes question our humanity.
This makes me sick.
Which movie scene is this?
Lol no wonder Johnny chose Celia over Hilly
It makes me sick to my stomach how people like this existed and still exist today.
I like skeeters Minnies's and celia's and Constantine"s characters
