Minnie and Celia

[@katheryna.3002]

I love how Celia offers bus money. It shows how even though she was rejected, she still offered to help them get home for coming all the way to her house. Any other white characters, such as Elizabeth and especially Hilly, would have kicked them out in the mud and treat them like garbage. It just shows how kindhearted Celia’s character is.

[@Forever18or21]

Celia is what they call good country folk like Dolly Parton. I met country folks like Celia in many southern states and they are beautiful people unlike people like Hilly and Liz are southerners who think they are southern belles but in reality they are horrible people.

[@ManoloCarrie]

I read the book and Celia came from Sugar Ditch, a very poor neighbourhood close to Jackson, so she really learnt to stand by herself since young age. In the film we can see that when she immediately notices that Minny's injury is not due to a fall in a bathtub. In the book she actually physically defends Minny against a white drunk man who had come to the house, probably to steal something. In the book Minny often underlines how strong this fragile woman is.

Oh and the man was also NAKED.

[@alexislane7175]

Wow

[@pandorabox5532]

This makes so much sense. It always stood out to me that she was a lot humbler and friendlier than the other white people in the town, and how she struggled to fit it despite being in the same middle-upper class context

[@TylerD288]

I haven't seen this film but planting rose bushes for every miscarriage sounds totally "Southern". I did grow up there and those people love to remind themselves of everything that's depressing. Glad I moved away and live in a place where people want to and strive to be happy about the present and future, instead of sitting in some big ole house sad about the past the past and the past.

[@jeremymiller9582]

“Let’s get you a cold Coca-Cola.” “Let me at least get you some bus money.” The lines that proved Celia had more humanity than most of the other women in that town put together.

[@pandorabox5532]

I think that it was originally written that Celia grew up in a really poor neighborhood but it was never mentioned in the movie. Which makes sense because she's very down to earth and treats Minnie like an equal rather than a subordinate. She also says "I've never had a maid before!"

[@musicvsub5934]

@@pandorabox5532 nah in the book has some others good women too but they only doing good shit for the maid in the dark because they scared of Hilly. and skeeter dad is a good man too. but he got cut out in the movie. he even saved a black kid life and pay for her hospital bill

[@susandunn7207]

And then later they sat down for lunch together, showing us all that class often comes from the heart

[@dasikakn]

The movie makes a good presentation of showing how racists bully the others who want to change the dynamic. The main issue is the way these bullies also use their platform to enact laws that codify racism. The one maid who couldn’t send both kids to college even though they got in made it so clear that “pulling up by bootstraps” is such nonsense. It is so difficult to get oneself out of poverty unless someone is helping you. I also dislike that this movie was tarnished by calling it “white savior” story. Who ever says that didn’t understand the movie at all.

[@koroniriaryder4410]

I love Celia and Minnie. One of the parts I wish they had added in from the book was when the man came into the yard with a knife and started threatening Minnie, then Celia comes out with I think a Tire iron and starts beating the shit out of him.

Jessica Chastain is the definition of a versatile actor. She can play goofy and pure, all the way to sinister and evil. As much as I like Jennifer Lawrence, Chastain deserves an Oscar more. I haven't really seen Jennifer Lawrence play a totally different character like Chastain has. Chastain just need the right moment and the right film, hopefully she'll land one.

Even the subtle body language with direct eye contact. Celia embracing Minnie by grabbing her arm in excitement... with no negativity or violence. I love those details you see by watching a scene over and over again. In comparison to the other Households, Celia stands out as a very loving, protective, caring, beaming and fun personality. Minnie later sees Celia's deepest traumas of her past. All the babies she has lost and the struggles she has faced. Celia notices injuries Minnie has. They have a bond. They respect each other and keep each other safe. I love their connection. Also, the husband being a decent person. Respecting and thanking Minnie for taking care of his Wife and himself is a lovely uplifting ending.

One thing I loved about this movie is how it showed that this situation is very complicated. Not all Southern white people were racist, but there was certainly a lot of racists who didn't (and today don't) believe they're racist. But when you see all the individuals and their relationships, that's when this world really comes to life, good and bad.

[@squares4u]

@@b2kzangelalwayz Perhaps, but I think most people would agree an ignorant person who is blind to the world’s problems isn’t a bad person… just uninformed. Ignorance is bliss, right? Celia here is a good person, and for people like her, we need to be more often lifting people up for their positive attributes rather than critiquing them for their negative ones. The former encourages people to continue on the path they’re on and learn more, while the latter usually aggravates or offends people. That’s what I’ve found anyway.
