[@isoldejaneholland8370]

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. 😊😢

[@joellenglass2344]

I would seriously be friends with Celia Foote! I liked her!

[@nerdydrawer7265]

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

[@DeeDaKaang1]

Celia Foote was an amazing character in this movie. I love the fact that that she was the only person outside of Skeeter that treated Minnie like her equal instead of like a house cleaning machine.

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.

Such an amazing film, the eat my s**t scene will forever be one of the funniest scenes in a film I have ever seen in my life 😂

[@AlexS-oj8qf]

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.

[@devilusadvocatias]

I was happy that they were able to make Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard look very different. I often mistake them for each other but they couldn’t be more different in this film.

I read the book and saw the movie when it first came out. It was portrayed history but based on my family’s experiences The Help was tame and pretty soft in comparison 😅

[@captainsplifford]

I'm not a fan of the "white savior" trope, but I did really enjoy this movie because of the caliber of acting involved, and thought it was a good adaptation of the book.

[@maryrichardson1318]

The very first role I can remember Cicely Tyson in was the starring role in "The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman". It was a tv movie based on the book by the same name. 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.

[@jahiradrian2000]

I heard that Viola Davis didn't like being in this movie because it didn't show the perspective of the maids but of the bosses, and that this movie was directed for the white audience and how they shouldn't act, and that Viola felt that the white characters became the heroes at the end of the film

[@sillyladtan]

Yup, she actively spoke out about how she regrets being in this film. And I don't blame her.

[@Crl2p3]

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.

[@randeecarreno4289]

Great reaction! 😊 Such a great movie with such a great cast. The book is fantastic as well. 38:30 - 39:44 The scene with pie is such a memorable scene.

Even if you’re not showing, there’s still a fetus that comes out of your body at a misscariage.

[@kate_m_k88]

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.

I read the book after watching and it's so so good. I love this movie and have a wood sign in my kitchen "You is kind. You is smart. You is important - Aibileen Clark"

[@youyeedyourlasthaw]

I love this movie so much, thank you guys for watching

[@prathapkutty7407]

I don't get why people confuse Bryce Dallas Howard and Jessica Chastain. They don't look that much alike.

[@Divamarja_CA]

They’re both redheads and people don’t look close enough…

[@georgetteramirez150]

This is one of the best movies I have seen. The performance of all these powerhouse women is incredible.

I clicked on the “Like” button on this video solely for hearing Roxy sing at the .07 sec mark. 😉

The book is good. The writer wrote it based of her experience. The writer wrote Minnie with Olivia in mind. They are friends.

[@lizgreer6888]

The author wrote the book about her maid growing up in Jackson, MS. Constantine and Abileen's stories are her maids story. Abileen, the author and her caretaker at childhood and Constantine, the author and her caretaker as a teenager. The author knew something like this had never been done before and she wanted to give voice to these silent women. It's supposed to be a love story: the children and their caretakers.

I really respect the 2 of you, I was ready to come on here & really be triggered by the things you said, but I was pleasently surprised by your openess and candour.

[@DavidSmith-ez4pk]

Another really well made movie, based on actual historical events you should review is "Hidden Figures". Stars Octavia Spencer, Taraji P. Henson, Janelle Monea, Kevin Costner, Jim Parsons. Pay particular attention to the "bathroom" speech. Stellar cast and Oscar worthy performances.

[@roddo1955]

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?!

Octavia Spencer was in TobeyVerse , the first movie. She signed Tobey in at the wrestling match

[@henriquejambu]

The movie that catapulted Emma Stone was Easy A, The Help was one year after that!

[@prathapkutty7407]

Not superbad?

[@henriquejambu]

@@prathapkutty7407 her role in Superbad is pretty small and generic of other dude comedies of the 00s. 2008’s House Bunny was her first opportunity to really shine and make people fall in love with her style of acting and then Easy A was her step into stardom!

[@DuninhaMTV]

My fav movie ever, together with harriet, hidden figures, titanic, green book, jurassic park, the devil wears prada, little miss sunshine, richie rich, overboard, hook and some more^^ since 2011 I tell everybody to watch the help^^

[@crushedflora2696]

Love your commentary/jokes on this. Its so on point

[@roxystriar]

Thank you :)

[@JillCrowe55]

One of the best, heartfelt, movies ever made. Viola Davis is my favorite!!!

[@angelalee6105]

Oh yes I wanted to see someone react to this especially "the eat my shit" scene 😂😂

[@JayWalk23]

the preacher is Daniel Oyewolo who starred in Selma, another good movie

[@YoutubeAccount-me3bv]

"showing" is different for every woman. I did not show the entire pregnancy my for two babies. Last one I showed around the end. Now I'm currently pregnant and showing larger. It's about your pregnancy and your body.

Megar Evers was a famous Civil Rights Leader. AfAm History is important.

[@MsNekaa26]

Emma Stone was her own actress by this point this was one of her biggest movies but after easy a she had her own name

[@roddo1955]

What name did she have before?

[@kathleenherron594]

My Dad went to Ole Miss. He took my Mom to see the movie. During the movie, he leaned in and told her …This is why I married you. She is from Wisconsin.

[@thenerdywave2007]

Great Reaction John and Roxy! This movie is so great and touching! 👍

[@DavidValeTX]

You just didn’t have one, you had two slices! 😂😂😂😂

[@Stardust_7273]

I think it's hilarious that they had a guy literally stuck on an oil rig, and now that's like one of the main excuses scammers use.

[@svenheimes2494]

Amazing movie! Great actresses, great storytelling, great directing!
