@@quintinandq2andl3studios97 It was never mentioned in the book nor the show but her crime is considered a petty crime and she probably wouldn't have to spend years on prison. But then again this was in the 60's and punishment for black people was usually more severe than white people, plus Hilly is a respectable woman in her town so it might add a few years on Yule Mae's time
there are still too many ppl like Hilly out there! claiming themselves to be 'christians' and what not, who in reality are the devil in person! but i must say that the actress of Hilly was damn good in what she was doing ^^
I totally agree with you👌 I have a mother in-law and she acts Christian but outside of Church she a whole Different person. She is so fucking Racists and I can't stand it😠. I always tell her she needs to sit tf down and be humble cuz she no 1 better. She judges alot of people who are homeless and says nothing but bad things. I always tell my husband wtf she says and told him don't put me in a room with her no more cuz its always a problem. I can't stand that bitch at all. I go to church but not alot and i hate the fact that she acts Holy but fuck no she ain't. My parent's taught me good and not to see color cuz everyone matters and I ❤ everyone equally💞💯
Messed up how the husband slipped out the room. He probably would have given her the money if not for Hilly. Also Minnie should have told her about how Hilly sets traps & overly moniters things in the house smh. Guarantee that ring didn't just fall behind the sofa; it was strategically placed there.
J.R. M I knew that the moment Yule Mae moved the couch and found it. Something felt off. Hilly knew she was desperate for money and Yule Mae just happens to find a "forgotten" diamond ring? No. That was *too* convenient. And of course it was a trap.
FreedomWriter3 In the book, Hilly lies saying it was a priceless, expensive ring that Yule May stole but it wasn't. Hilly's mother, Mrs. Walter, gave Hilly the ring for a birthday present but when Hilly had the ring appraised, she found out it was worthless and she never wore it again (that alone should give you more of a glimpse of her relationship with her mother and her past as the book mentions very little about her side of the story). But how would Yule May know it wasn't worth anything? Hilly set that trap and caught that poor girl like a possum.
Bloombaby99 That was fucked up. Hilly never even suspected that Yule Mae was a thief in the first place. She just placed it there to be mean. She knew the woman was desperate for money. A mother will do anything for her kids, and Hilly knew that since she's also a mom. Hilly was a devil. The only redeeming quality about her was that she loved her children.
J.R. M funny you should mention the husband. He divorced Hilly and married a black woman in the novel, and Hilly lost her spot as queen bee of the hive. I think he got custody of the kids too! Correct me if i’m wrong, though, cause it’s been awhile since i last read it xD
God doesn't give charity to those who are well and able? Well it's not like Yule Mae was just sitting on her couch doing nothing and expecting someone to just give her the money! She said she'd work until her debt was paid off. Hilly could have given her that money. I'm almost willing to guarantee that Hilly's mom, Celia or maybe even Elizabeth would have loaned her the money. Hilly's actions were despicable and after all that, she still had the nerve to call herself a Christian. And God does give to those who are "well and able". They're called blessings. Something Hilly probably knows nothing about.
Un-freaking-believable. And it was only $75. Yes America thats how CHEAP college was back then per person. Its not like the Holbrook's couldn't afford to loan her the money (maybe not today given how expensive tuition is). Sigh, I dont know whats more infuriating about Hilly. Her racism, her arrogance or her ignorance, take your pick. And whats sad is in real 1960's Mississippi Hilly's character wasn't unique, there were hundreds of"Hilly's" all over the deep south.
The tuition fee wasn't $75, yule mae and her husband were SHORT $75 on one of the fees (which in total was probably quite a lot) after they'd been saving up for years.
myriad d I know, im saying the fact that they were only short $75 meant that back then if someone who worked as a maid saved money for years, they could still have enough to send one kid to a good college. Nowadays tuition is up soo much that even if you worked at a decent middle class job you wouldn't be short $75 you would probably be short thousands of dollars. College WAS cheap back then to the point where you could work as a maid and still make enough to send a kid to college assuming you saved over the years. If you worked as a domestic today and saved up enough for your kid or two you would be short thousands of dollars not $75. Now I know all about inflation and college tuition isnt the only thing that has gone up over the decades, but try working as a domestic today, save up money for a college fund (lets say for about 20 years) and see if your short by just $75
Ted Bundy was a Republican Im sorry at what point did in my comment I said "lets go back to the 1960's". Please point to me EXACTLY in my comments where I said that?
"Yall need to come up with this money on your own" What do you think she's doing?! You're her boss, she's asking for a favour and offering to pay off the debt if you would've gave that money to her!
What is so striking about this scene is the sheer cruelty of Hilly's comments. The so called "Southern belles" were far more vicious to black people, with their icy disdain for them. Even so, Hilly eventually reaped what she had sown... Anybody who thought the 1960s were swinging, were clearly not around in that terrible period.
You can see how much Hilly was loving being begged for money Damn well knowing she wasn’t going to give her a damn thing. The actress playing Yule Mae also did a damn good job showing her excitement in the brief moment she thought the loan was coming and then the disappointment. Great acting conveying such a sad time in history
If she worked for me I would have given her money and I would have helped her out and and if I knew her for 15 yrs and she had a son sure I would help, and I felt bad when she went to jail for stealing a ring from Hilly's home, and thats being a GOOD Christian by helping others!
Aimee Adesso But 75 dollars would be equivalent to about 619 today compared to the 1960s. In other words 75 dollars in the 60s would get you as far as 619 dollars would today.
As much as I loved Jessica Chastain as Celia, I feel that Bryce edged her out a little bit and deserved the nomination(s) more due to the impact of her role in the movie, as well as her impeccable execution...
@Ann Clark Hilly and her husband are well matched. But I think he's under Hilly's thumb. In the book after the book of the maids stories is released Hilly has her husband phone Leory's (Minny's husband) boss and fire him. When Leroy asks why his boss tells him because of Leory's (insert racial slur) wife. Aibileen realises that Minny making Skeeter put the pie story in did indeed keep them safe from losing their jobs and any retribution but Minny paid the price because it escalated the situation between her and Hilly. After Hilly threatens Aibileen with jail she tells her that she'll be calling Johnny to tell him to fire Minny because Johnny listens to her and thats when Aibileen snaps and stands up to Hilly. Johnny actually thanks Minny and tells her how grateful he is that she took such good care of Celia and she has a job for life.
This scene is nor good or bad, it shows how cruel a person can be and how cruelty is dressed up like a lovely girl, and how we can learn about not to trust or expect something from anybody.
This is the scene I cite when I try to explain to people the type of experiences I have at work. If you just analyzed the script, one may say that Hilly was right, in that she is teaching the woman to work hard and earn her own money. But what is missed is the context. There is this undertone of discrimination that come from a very mean place, that cannot be explained rationally, only irrationally as does the maid by her bodily response to just start crying. I''ve been through this so many times, and I think its times to start calling it what it is: Implicit Racism
Besides hiding behind the religious curtain, justifying her refusal, she wasn't wrong to not give her the money. She as the employer is not obligated to give more than what they agreed upon with pay after the hours have been worked. It would've been the more generous thing to do, to be sure, but it's not required for her to do so.
This behavior that Hilly exhibited isn't just because of racism. This was pure narcissism in general. If she had talked like this to a white maid, it would have been labeled classism.
What Hilly does to Yule Mae in the book is much worse. The ring Yule Mae stole was a gift from Mrs Walters and Hilly had it appraised and it was worthless so she never wore it again. Hilly uses her influence with the trial judge (Hilly is friends with the judges wife) to get Yule Mae a heavy fine that her and her husband have to use their twins college tuition money to pay it off and the judge gives her the maximum sentence for stealing and sentences her to four years in prison! Thats why the maids changed their minds and decided to let Skeeter intetview them because they're so angry about what Hilly did to Yule Mae who is well liked and respected. She's also a well educated woman more so than Hilly and Elizabeth who dropped out as soon as they found their wealthy men she was close to graduating college when she dropped out to get married.
@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 , I bet after the book was released, Yule May learns to stand for herself like Minny and Aibileen not to let people like Hilly walk all over her like that.
@@osmanyousif7849 she doesn't get released in the book she's serving four years for stealing but Skeeter does take a few copies of the book to the prison for Yule May to ensure she gets at least one to read.
If this film teaches anything it's that bigotry and hate comes in all shapes, forms, and fashions. It doesn't always have to be wearing a white hood and robe and holding a rope.
I felt so bad for Yule Mae 😞 I would’ve been delighted to help pay for her sons tuition and I would even still pay her even if she told me that she would work for free
It's actually a rather old school sexist move. Wives managed the household and any hired servants, and he ran off to let Hilly deal with her, not even acknowledging Yule Mae as he kissed Hilly and disappeared.
hilly denies giving the loan whilst flashing her huge diamond rings in yule maes face. hilly holbrook is definately one of the most horrid characters ive ever seen in any film. and as for that advertisement for 'softie' - lol
From Chapter 18 of 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings' by Maya Angelou: "'As I understand it, charity vaunteth not itself. Is not puffed up.' 'Charity don't go around saying "I give you food and I give you clothes and by rights you ought to thank me." Charity don't say, "Because I give you a job, you got to bend your knee to me." It don't say, "Because I pays you what you due, you got to call me master." It don't ask me to humble myself and belittle myself. That ain't what Charity is.......Charity is simple. Charity is poor. Charity is plain.........How can you claim to be my brother and hate me? Is that Charity? How can you claim to be my sister and despise me? Is that supposed to be Charity? How can you claim to be my friend and misuse and wrongfully abuse me? Is that Charity? Oh, my children, I stopped my here to tell you, to open your heart and let Charity reign. Forgive your enemies for His sake. Show the Charity that Jesus was speaking of to this sick old world. It has need of the charitable giver. And now I repeat the words of the Apostle Paul, and "now abideth faith, hope and charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.'" Yule May to Hilly: Yes, I'll thank you for this so that when I read that you ate Minny shit, I can laugh as long and loud as I like and not feel any sense of loyalty to you who wouldn't even help me send my sons to school.
I wish Hilly's ending would have ended up with her poor as hell having to ask for help and then one of these ladies could have told her the same exact thing.
In the book Hilly gets her come uppance. The ladies are done with her by the end and plan to vote her out as Junior League President only Elizabeth and a few others stay loyal to Hilly and most them do work out that Hilly is the one in the pie story lol her husband also loses his campaign to become a Senator. Also thanks to Minny Hilly will suffer for the rest of her life. Can you imagine the utter disgust and shame Hilly must be feeling living with the knowledge that she not only ate two slices of Minny's shit but she actually enjoyed the pie and complimented Minny on how good it was! That must really fuck with her head everyday especially living with the fear of people finding out she ate her maids shit and having to constantly deny it. I'd say thats karma paying her back for sure lol Minny is a genius she not only gave Hilly her just desserts literally but she fucked with Hilly's head so bad that woman will have a lifetime of psychological torture! 🤣🤣 I wouldn't live with that constantly in the back of my mind
@@osmanyousif7849 Elizabeth is just a minion who desperately wants to fit in. Its kind of sad really to be honest that her life revolves around keeping up with the society ladies rather than her family. Elizabeth is a very unhappy woman
Not really.. This movie actually should be commended for not painting all white people as evil. Skeeter, Celie, Hilly's mom, the young girl and other characters all showed compassion towards African Americans. The film didn't focus on race wars it just told the story of what it was like to be apart of the help as an African American woman. You see black & white characters interact with each other kindly throughout the entire film. The film's only true racist was Hilly.
That's real rich of Hilly to just rip up the check because at that point, she's got nobody except her husband, a few followers, but everyone's now walking away from her. So she should be a bit grateful someone gave her a cut, AT ALL. Honestly, after learning who Hilly is, from getting Yule May arrested and denying her college funds, to attempting to sue Skeeter and Aibileen, if I was one of those maids or Skeeter, I'd say "Go ahead, Hilly! Have me arrested! Sue me! My home is probably worth $100 - $500! What's $500 to you Hilly? It NOTHING. Well it means A LOT TO ME. And I'd still rather lose everything than lose my integrity.". Some socialite Hilly's running. Just listening to her even with her campaigning to be the city's Junior League President states what a waste of time she sees this all to be. I mean why waste or time being so honest and moral when you can be so much richer being a complete narcissist? But hey, what would the maids know huh? To Hilly, they're just some dumb, cleaning ladies. But I've got some news for Hilly: I bet some of these maids didn't come to Jackson Mississippi on foot.
Scenes like this seem horrible and cruel....but they are so powerful. They remind us of the wrong we committed and it's a dark part of our history. But because of these actors stunning performances they remind us not to let go of the past and also to learn from it moving forward. The fact that it makes us all sick to our stomach shows us how far we have come from discrimination and segregation.
Im white but if i was in the 50's-60's and i had a housekeeper, i would just send them home and still pay them i would treat them like family, there was no reason why blacks were segregated and treated this way...it sickens me! And Bryce played the perfect role for a typical racist 60's white woman, many times i wanted to smack the shit out of her!! Many times i wish i was in the 60's so i can prevent stuff like this from happening in my household!! Im glad blacks a free!! Best Movie of 2011!!
I think there's a subtle implied detail y'all are missing here. Hilly doesn't have to loan her the money. In essence a loan was being asked for and she declined. Nothing wrong with that. However Hilly is not one to let the opportunity of free work come her way. $75 is about 2 weeks worth of work (implied by how much Abileen says she makes at the beginning of the film). So Hilly could easily charge her crippling interest and probably get months of work out of her for much less. So what I'm getting at here is that Hilly most likely doesn't have the money. Or at least most of it. She's likely spending enough to keep up appearances and would rather hide behind the "God doesn't give charity" curtain that admit she doesn't have the ready cash. I say this because her friend was being chastised by her husband over the new bathroom for Abileen. None of these women are really as well off as they seem. They're simply trying to keep their heads above water to keep up with each other. Including Hilly.
Remember that back then everything was still segregated so her boys would probably go to a "black" college that are now Historically Black Colleges now... Like MTSU TSU Clark Atlanta and North Carolina A&T. This was the 1920's -40's or so
"come up with this money on your own"... Um, isn't that what working at your job is for?? 😂😂 Maybe Yule Mae should've used a different choice of words.. like ask for an advance instead of a loan. But either way, I'm sure Hilly Billy wouldn't have helped her..
I want to know if Hilly even read her Bible. My momma and I were talking about this the other day. Yule May was clearly not 'well and able' but someone find me the passage in the Bible that says "God does not help those who are well and able"
The way hilly behaved here is similar to when privileged people nowadays say things like ‘you get to choose to have a better life’ to non-privileged people. Completely disregarding the systematic issues, and falling for the extreme individualistic and capitalistic ideologies
I see Hilly's point. 'God don't give charity to the well and able'. Jesus said 'the healthy have no need of doctors'. The maid has worked hard and saved up a lot for her sons college education and the maid said it will be an 'either for' situation: one son goes but the other doesn't go to college. But that doesn't mean the second son will never go. Its just the case they haven't got enough money and need to work and save more. But what's wrong with the second son taking a gap year of two. He could do private studying and gain more knowledge so when the time comes when the maid has saved enough for the other son's tuition fees he would go to college, he be a few steps ahead having more knowledge and insight into his subject area than his fellow first years. But more important consider Hilly's nature. This loan and its incurred debt is an informal agreement and thus has no legal standing. What's to say that hilly will try to extort more money than what the maid borrowed or accuse the maid of stealing the money. If the maid tries to dispute it she has no legal backing and the law and society's norms and values would be on Hilly's side because she is white. If I were in the maid's situation, a loan from hilly is more trouble that its worth.
And thats why so many black people belived In God and Jeuse!! Reason been they all they had and Faith why alot of white people at that time thought money was they God!! That's why they kept they 👃 up!! Meanwhile they would run too 🍷 when they had problems and when life got to hard.# my opinion u don't want to get your feelings hurt then don't come for me!☺💁
There are so many Hillys in South Africa. Heart of stone even when they see you drowning and you can't breathe. As long as their stats are good, you are just a number.
Everything she said about what God does is not true, for our lord Jesus went to the poor and confronted the rich. Anyone who acts like this woman who claims to be a "christian" it's not a Christian. Don't believe the words that are coming out of their mouths, because Jesus taught us to surrender and give and to spread His Word and Love. This woman is doing none of the above and neither is her husband who just chickens out and lets his wife do all the talking.
Yule mae wouldnt join in with Skeeter because she put her boys first but became a theif for them knowing any pawnshop would look into a black maid selling an expensive ring? She was dead wrong there and here in this scene. She was there but a little while and had the nerve to ask for a loan knowing Hilly is a bitter racist. I did not like the yule mae character.
It's people like Hilly that make you realise why hell was created.

In the book after the book of the maids stories is released Hilly has her husband phone Leory's (Minny's husband) boss and fire him. When Leroy asks why his boss tells him because of Leory's (insert racial slur) wife. Aibileen realises that Minny making Skeeter put the pie story in did indeed keep them safe from losing their jobs and any retribution but Minny paid the price because it escalated the situation between her and Hilly. After Hilly threatens Aibileen with jail she tells her that she'll be calling Johnny to tell him to fire Minny because Johnny listens to her and thats when Aibileen snaps and stands up to Hilly. Johnny actually thanks Minny and tells her how grateful he is that she took such good care of Celia and she has a job for life.
This scene is nor good or bad, it shows how cruel a person can be and how cruelty is dressed up like a lovely girl, and how we can learn about not to trust or expect something from anybody.
Her husband is just as evil

This woman reminds me so much of my own mother. Yes, she was a terrible person...
Omg how awful!
Sad for you..
This is the scene I cite when I try to explain to people the type of experiences I have at work. If you just analyzed the script, one may say that Hilly was right, in that she is teaching the woman to work hard and earn her own money. But what is missed is the context. There is this undertone of discrimination that come from a very mean place, that cannot be explained rationally, only irrationally as does the maid by her bodily response to just start crying. I''ve been through this so many times, and I think its times to start calling it what it is: Implicit Racism
find another job
Back then it wasn't that easy for black ppl to find a job jus like that though.
Besides hiding behind the religious curtain, justifying her refusal, she wasn't wrong to not give her the money. She as the employer is not obligated to give more than what they agreed upon with pay after the hours have been worked. It would've been the more generous thing to do, to be sure, but it's not required for her to do so.
This behavior that Hilly exhibited isn't just because of racism. This was pure narcissism in general. If she had talked like this to a white maid, it would have been labeled classism.
@@caringdevotionals2952exactly! Frankly whites get unfair hate and it’s despicable bc not everyone is racist
"You'll thank me one day" says the cruel snob who enjoyed seeing that poor woman beaten by a police officer!
What Hilly does to Yule Mae in the book is much worse. The ring Yule Mae stole was a gift from Mrs Walters and Hilly had it appraised and it was worthless so she never wore it again. Hilly uses her influence with the trial judge (Hilly is friends with the judges wife) to get Yule Mae a heavy fine that her and her husband have to use their twins college tuition money to pay it off and the judge gives her the maximum sentence for stealing and sentences her to four years in prison! Thats why the maids changed their minds and decided to let Skeeter intetview them because they're so angry about what Hilly did to Yule Mae who is well liked and respected. She's also a well educated woman more so than Hilly and Elizabeth who dropped out as soon as they found their wealthy men she was close to graduating college when she dropped out to get married.
@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 , I bet after the book was released, Yule May learns to stand for herself like Minny and Aibileen not to let people like Hilly walk all over her like that.
@@osmanyousif7849 she doesn't get released in the book she's serving four years for stealing but Skeeter does take a few copies of the book to the prison for Yule May to ensure she gets at least one to read.
Bryce Dallas Howard is such a great actress
Hilly's husband was a wimp.
If this film teaches anything it's that bigotry and hate comes in all shapes, forms, and fashions. It doesn't always have to be wearing a white hood and robe and holding a rope.
I bet that recording those scenes were extremely hard for the actors. Can you imagine bringing up all this hate?
The actress who plays Hilly Bryce Dallas Howard even hated her character too and said that she would not do the role if the film had been made today
I think deep down they enjoyed acting their hatred out... 😕
Bad take
I felt so bad for Yule Mae 😞 I would’ve been delighted to help pay for her sons tuition and I would even still pay her even if she told me that she would work for free
As a Christian my ass.
it´s so heartbreaking to see her nearly cry!
Ik, hilly can be such a bitch when she wants to 😡😡😡😡😡😤😤😤😤😤
insanely good and realistic acting on both sides
0:39 coward . What typa husband is that 🤦🏻♀️
Before money is brought up - I've got time to spare.
When money was brought up - "Whew, I am late."
It's actually a rather old school sexist move. Wives managed the household and any hired servants, and he ran off to let Hilly deal with her, not even acknowledging Yule Mae as he kissed Hilly and disappeared.
The dumb and cowardly kind
hilly denies giving the loan whilst flashing her huge diamond rings in yule maes face. hilly holbrook is definately one of the most horrid characters ive ever seen in any film. and as for that advertisement for 'softie' - lol
my gawd, you couldn't give her $75?
Back in those days $75 was like $500-1000 of today's money
Oh ok. But they could've afforded it
She still promised to work everyday to pay off the debt
Smh
Michelle Talley $75 in the early 60s was like $150 to $200 equivalent to today's worth.
Never did I wanna gorge someone's eyes out as bad as in this scene.
Ms. Hilly and Master Epps (from 12 years a slave) make a great villain couple! They all have the same characteristics.
Horrible people for some reason always think they are actually nice.
Aunjanue Ellis is a fantastic actress!
From Chapter 18 of 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings' by Maya Angelou: "'As I understand it, charity vaunteth not itself. Is not puffed up.' 'Charity don't go around saying "I give you food and I give you clothes and by rights you ought to thank me." Charity don't say, "Because I give you a job, you got to bend your knee to me." It don't say, "Because I pays you what you due, you got to call me master." It don't ask me to humble myself and belittle myself. That ain't what Charity is.......Charity is simple. Charity is poor. Charity is plain.........How can you claim to be my brother and hate me? Is that Charity? How can you claim to be my sister and despise me? Is that supposed to be Charity? How can you claim to be my friend and misuse and wrongfully abuse me? Is that Charity? Oh, my children, I stopped my here to tell you, to open your heart and let Charity reign. Forgive your enemies for His sake. Show the Charity that Jesus was speaking of to this sick old world. It has need of the charitable giver. And now I repeat the words of the Apostle Paul, and "now abideth faith, hope and charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.'"
Yule May to Hilly: Yes, I'll thank you for this so that when I read that you ate Minny shit, I can laugh as long and loud as I like and not feel any sense of loyalty to you who wouldn't even help me send my sons to school.
I wish Hilly's ending would have ended up with her poor as hell having to ask for help and then one of these ladies could have told her the same exact thing.
In the book Hilly gets her come uppance. The ladies are done with her by the end and plan to vote her out as Junior League President only Elizabeth and a few others stay loyal to Hilly and most them do work out that Hilly is the one in the pie story lol her husband also loses his campaign to become a Senator.
Also thanks to Minny Hilly will suffer for the rest of her life. Can you imagine the utter disgust and shame Hilly must be feeling living with the knowledge that she not only ate two slices of Minny's shit but she actually enjoyed the pie and complimented Minny on how good it was! That must really fuck with her head everyday especially living with the fear of people finding out she ate her maids shit and having to constantly deny it. I'd say thats karma paying her back for sure lol Minny is a genius she not only gave Hilly her just desserts literally but she fucked with Hilly's head so bad that woman will have a lifetime of psychological torture! 🤣🤣 I wouldn't live with that constantly in the back of my mind
@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 , of course Elizabeth stayed with Hilly. That woman has learned nothing.
@@osmanyousif7849 Elizabeth is just a minion who desperately wants to fit in. Its kind of sad really to be honest that her life revolves around keeping up with the society ladies rather than her family. Elizabeth is a very unhappy woman
I just loved this book...and this actress (Bryce Howard), does a very good job of making Miss Hilly, in all her self righteous ugliness, come alive.
I'm assuming newspaper were like iPhones back then
How people like that can call themselves Christians is beyond me.
Technically, anyone can call themselves a Christian, but it doesn’t make it true.
Not really.. This movie actually should be commended for not painting all white people as evil.
Skeeter, Celie, Hilly's mom, the young girl and other characters all showed compassion towards African Americans. The film didn't focus on race wars it just told the story of what it was like to be apart of the help as an African American woman. You see black & white characters interact with each other kindly throughout the entire film.
The film's only true racist was Hilly.
Hilly is like a southern mean girl
Hilly makes absolutely no sense here.
0:36 Just a reminder Hilly ripped up a $200 check out of spite.
That's real rich of Hilly to just rip up the check because at that point, she's got nobody except her husband, a few followers, but everyone's now walking away from her. So she should be a bit grateful someone gave her a cut, AT ALL.
Honestly, after learning who Hilly is, from getting Yule May arrested and denying her college funds, to attempting to sue Skeeter and Aibileen, if I was one of those maids or Skeeter, I'd say "Go ahead, Hilly! Have me arrested! Sue me! My home is probably worth $100 - $500! What's $500 to you Hilly? It NOTHING. Well it means A LOT TO ME. And I'd still rather lose everything than lose my integrity.".
Some socialite Hilly's running. Just listening to her even with her campaigning to be the city's Junior League President states what a waste of time she sees this all to be. I mean why waste or time being so honest and moral when you can be so much richer being a complete narcissist? But hey, what would the maids know huh? To Hilly, they're just some dumb, cleaning ladies. But I've got some news for Hilly: I bet some of these maids didn't come to Jackson Mississippi on foot.
This really is soooo sad, she couldn't send both her boys to college, and rich Hilly would not give her the money.... Thats sad.
Hilly is such a.... grr, I'm not allowed to say that word. Haha, but she's even more infuriating in the books.
"Awwkayy ! Gaw awn." Her accent is perfect lol.
Scenes like this seem horrible and cruel....but they are so powerful. They remind us of the wrong we committed and it's a dark part of our history. But because of these actors stunning performances they remind us not to let go of the past and also to learn from it moving forward. The fact that it makes us all sick to our stomach shows us how far we have come from discrimination and segregation.
Im white but if i was in the 50's-60's and i had a housekeeper, i would just send them home and still pay them i would treat them like family, there was no reason why blacks were segregated and treated this way...it sickens me! And Bryce played the perfect role for a typical racist 60's white woman, many times i wanted to smack the shit out of her!! Many times i wish i was in the 60's so i can prevent stuff like this from happening in my household!! Im glad blacks a free!! Best Movie of 2011!!
I think there's a subtle implied detail y'all are missing here. Hilly doesn't have to loan her the money. In essence a loan was being asked for and she declined. Nothing wrong with that. However Hilly is not one to let the opportunity of free work come her way. $75 is about 2 weeks worth of work (implied by how much Abileen says she makes at the beginning of the film). So Hilly could easily charge her crippling interest and probably get months of work out of her for much less.
So what I'm getting at here is that Hilly most likely doesn't have the money. Or at least most of it. She's likely spending enough to keep up appearances and would rather hide behind the "God doesn't give charity" curtain that admit she doesn't have the ready cash. I say this because her friend was being chastised by her husband over the new bathroom for Abileen. None of these women are really as well off as they seem. They're simply trying to keep their heads above water to keep up with each other. Including Hilly.
Obviously she's a professional actress but it must be so hard to play a character like holbrook.
specialpatrolgroup92 yeah, Bryce even said there were times she felt uncomfortable being so cruel.
70 dollars back then would be the equivalent to about 500 dollars today.
Out of curiosity, how much would 75 dollars be today?
Around Seven Hundred Fifty. Tougaloo, by the way, was the Elite Black college in the state, about like Spelman and Morehouse were for Georgia.
Remember that back then everything was still segregated so her boys would probably go to a "black" college that are now Historically Black Colleges now... Like MTSU TSU Clark Atlanta and North Carolina A&T. This was the 1920's -40's or so
I've never seen this movie but after watching this my blood is boiling 😡
Cómo se llama la película?
They never wanted us to learn......
I'm white, I want everybody who has good intentions to learn. :)
"come up with this money on your own"... Um, isn't that what working at your job is for?? 😂😂 Maybe Yule Mae should've used a different choice of words.. like ask for an advance instead of a loan. But either way, I'm sure Hilly Billy wouldn't have helped her..
I want to know if Hilly even read her Bible. My momma and I were talking about this the other day. Yule May was clearly not 'well and able' but someone find me the passage in the Bible that says "God does not help those who are well and able"
Husband was like “Fuck this shit I’m out 🏃♂️✌🏼” 😂
The way hilly behaved here is similar to when privileged people nowadays say things like ‘you get to choose to have a better life’ to non-privileged people. Completely disregarding the systematic issues, and falling for the extreme individualistic and capitalistic ideologies
No she won't thank you
my mom been in this situation but that woman is the same race as us... It breaks my heart too
I do not remember this scene...
I’m sure this “Christian” woman doesn’t even work for her own money herself and lives off her rich husband. 🙄
God I hate Hilly (Bryce Dallas Howard) in this movie! She's actually a very nice woman in real life, but it's so easy to hate her in this movie
I know its just a movie but this is just one of many reasons why I'm anti-religious. "Christians" justified this attitude and authority.
I see Hilly's point. 'God don't give charity to the well and able'. Jesus said 'the healthy have no need of doctors'. The maid has worked hard and saved up a lot for her sons college education and the maid said it will be an 'either for' situation: one son goes but the other doesn't go to college. But that doesn't mean the second son will never go. Its just the case they haven't got enough money and need to work and save more. But what's wrong with the second son taking a gap year of two. He could do private studying and gain more knowledge so when the time comes when the maid has saved enough for the other son's tuition fees he would go to college, he be a few steps ahead having more knowledge and insight into his subject area than his fellow first years. But more important consider Hilly's nature. This loan and its incurred debt is an informal agreement and thus has no legal standing. What's to say that hilly will try to extort more money than what the maid borrowed or accuse the maid of stealing the money. If the maid tries to dispute it she has no legal backing and the law and society's norms and values would be on Hilly's side because she is white. If I were in the maid's situation, a loan from hilly is more trouble that its worth.
I remember a man doing this to my Dad when I was just aged 7 rich people poor Hearts
This scene crushed me when i first saw it
*Hilly is no Christian I know what a real Christian is and a real Christian would have given her that loan and help would help her.*
if she was a good Christian she would have done it for her. Christian means being like Christ. hilly is anything but
And thats why so many black people belived In God and Jeuse!! Reason been they all they had and Faith why alot of white people at that time thought money was they God!! That's why they kept they 👃 up!! Meanwhile they would run too 🍷 when they had problems and when life got to hard.# my opinion u don't want to get your feelings hurt then don't come for me!☺💁
hey, this woman, Hilly, was that vampire Victoria in Twilight!
I WANT TO STRANGLE HILLY !!!!!!!! NOW...Now...Now calm down, it's Bryce. She's terrific...
@jennifer vanbuskirk this is how it was back then. That is THE TRUTH. It's a movie not a race war. If you
There are so many Hillys in South Africa. Heart of stone even when they see you drowning and you can't breathe. As long as their stats are good, you are just a number.
I love this film... I laughed my ass off the time.
The actress playing Hilly is brilliant
In this scene, Hilly reminds me of Dolores Umbridge
She is NOT a good Christian!!!
She makes God good Christians look bad -_-
*One Day More till the revolution against Hilly will begin We Will Decimate her Army they Will Wet themselves with blood
So fucking painful to watch
Oh that husband...ouch.
He's gonna be having one heck of a life with that b**** (excuse my language) of a wife he's got.
Wicked witch! >:(
Hilly was played by Bryce Dallas Howard. Ron Howard from Happy Days and Opie from The Andy Griffith show, is her father.
As a Christian wow.
Hilly is mean. Just a terrible person. But I do wish that Yule Mae didn't lose her judgment and stole the bish's ring. She walked into the trap
She is so terrified when she was left alone with ms hilly.
She knew she’s was gonna get bullied
Damn gurl needs to go back to church cuz she got the lectures WRONGG... help the mother!!!!
Everything she said about what God does is not true, for our lord Jesus went to the poor and confronted the rich. Anyone who acts like this woman who claims to be a "christian" it's not a Christian. Don't believe the words that are coming out of their mouths, because Jesus taught us to surrender and give and to spread His Word and Love. This woman is doing none of the above and neither is her husband who just chickens out and lets his wife do all the talking.
Sorry, don't feel bad for you. You just asked about 1000$ in today's money. Who is out here loaning 1000$ willy nilly?
As much as I cannot stand Hilly, she's actually correct here. Yule Mae would have worked to paid off a debt, not work for free.
you have no idea how accurate this video is.
I would've given her the money. It made me so upset when she got arrested even more when the cops hit her. The actresses in this movie were real good.
Yule mae wouldnt join in with Skeeter because she put her boys first but became a theif for them knowing any pawnshop would look into a black maid selling an expensive ring? She was dead wrong there and here in this scene. She was there but a little while and had the nerve to ask for a loan knowing Hilly is a bitter racist. I did not like the yule mae character.
Bryce Dallas Howard is just so damn fine !
