Celia was a woman raised in poverty who married a rich man with a giant estate who loves her deeply, and what she's most grateful for is Minny. Goes to show what a friend is worth.
I don't know that she values Minny more than Johnny, but Minny came on the scene when Celia was really feeling a need, and so Celia will feel that more, at least in the short term. And then they both found out that they like and need each other, and so the bond became very strong. And Johnny later became a dear friend to her, and valued her just as much for saving his wife.
I always saw it as Celia being a child that was raised by a black nanny. Kind of like a parallel of Skeeter/Constantine and the little girl/Aibleen. They were all outcasts, blonde, and inherently kind/smart/impor-tant.
@@AndrewMacLaine In the book she was from a town called Sugar Ditch (which is mentioned in the film). The book is written in third person limited, so you get the narrator of that chapter's inner thoughts, and when Celia comes into the story, it's through Minnie's POV. When she hears Sugar Ditch, Minnie is actually taken aback because even that place was too poor for Minnie. She said all of the kids there, black and white, are super skinny because they can't afford enough food. So Celia grew up in a town so poor there was not racism or classism. Just a bunch of poor people trying to make it day by day. That's why she never treated the working class people disrespectfully.
I wonder if he got a kick out of the whole thing with pretending not to know Minny was helping Celia with the house. And it wasn’t from being mean or anything, just knowing how much it meant for Celia to feel like she was adequately taking care of him because he knew she felt self-conscious about it. Plus, coming home to fresh, good fried chicken is enough to make anyone happy 😋
@@jendoe9436oh my gosh I’m disabled and my old helper who came by and made food and helped me keep my spacein order was southern and made me homemade fried chicken… when eaten fresh it was mouthwatering it was so good there are no words.
@@errolpletcher9186may I ask how much do the book and movie differ from each other. I love reading books that has a movie based on it. Just finished color purple and my goodness the book had much more depth.
@@shamf9672 omg- read the book!!! the difference is TIME. the movie was around 2 hours to show a book that took way longer to read. they had to cut out a LOT - even basic plot points, to fit the movie. i think a tv series would do the book justice. i... loved the book, it was such a good read, i don't want to hype it up too much...... but i def recommend. :)
To think that Jessica Chastain fought for Octavia Spencer’s pay in this movie just makes this even more warm. They are really two women who support each other.
Thinking back to the Celia that ran out to meet Minny for the first time, giggling and smiling uncontrollably. Celia.. I don't want to say she grew up or matured, but the world seems to have become just a little less rose-tinted to her.
I just realized- Celia was always overwhelmed by the size of her house. When she says "There you are!" to Minnie, she must have spent some time looking for her in that big house!
It's even more interesting if you consider that Celia probably expected them to eat together in the dinning room, a place only family members and guests would eat and not staff members.
Yep. Probably why she keeps losing her babies. Between the fact that she has to maintain the large estate, tend to a husband (and failing at it, especially with Mr. Johnny wanting kids), and how everyone ostracized her resulting in her loneliness, and even the pressure of having a kid when she's already lonely and overwhelmed, it makes sense
My grandma cleaned for this rich family the summer I stayed with her she took some days me to help out. N I was first amazed by the first few time but after the house felt so boring. Even though there kids you couldn’t hear anything as if the house was empty
@@stevennguyen4993Yes, but there are physical factors. In the book, it is discovered that unfortunately, her womb is hostile and while she can fall pregnant, she can't carry to full term.
@alking7655 Depends. Hostile womb inhibits fertilization. Probably why they didn't include it in the film, cause miscarriages can be induced by a lot of things, but you'll need something very technical to explain why someone doesn't have issues with conceiving, but not carrying to full term from a physical standpoint
One of the most powerful moments of Minny and Celia. Just two human beings who treat each other equally with respect regardless of status and became genuine friends who care for one another.
Yet, today, the looney Left would claim Celia was a racist because she's white. Period. Amen. End of story. She was systemically racist and didn't know it. Isn't that your ridiculous narrative, you morons?
I love where Johnny finally confronts Minny and reveals he knew from the start that she was there and the moment she started working there, Celia got better. What a loving, kind hearted man she married
I read a quote at some point where Johnny compared being with Hilly vs Celia that was actually really sweet. It went something like, he was "living in Antarctica and moved to Hawaii." Basically, living in a frozen wasteland of hell, to moving to paradise forever. 😊😊😊😊😊
Love the analogy. She isn't stupid, she knows they're different and that some people don't like that. But she doesn't truly realize how much hatred some people harbor and how they judge someone based on if their skin is lighter or darker.
When I was in high school, we watched this movie in my English class and the teacher had us take notes as we watched the movie and I wrote in quotes “Minny don’t burn chicken” 😂😂😂
In the book, Minny is talking to Abeline about Celia, and says that Celia doesn't understand the lines between her and Minny, as employer and employee, or as a white woman and a black woman, and that Celia doesn't even seem to notice (or words to that effect). Celia is so pure in heart that she only sees people as people, rather than seeing their race or social standing or what have you.
Celia is a poor trash girl who married into wealth. She sees Minny as her equal because she too had to keep her head down and genuflect to the wealthy white people of town.
I still to this day don't understand racism or why it exists. I mean, I know why. Power, control, all of that nonsense with racism being a tool to ensure dominance. But I still can't fathom hating someone or feeling superior based on features of humanity that no one can control.
*I love the fact that Jessica Chastain's character has great values, and the actress herself, Jessica Chastain, rivals this greatness of a woman and human being.*
What I love about the end of this.scene is how it demonstrates the solidarity between women despite racial differences. It shows the humanity that they both share. Women of all races deal with domestic abuse from their male spouses and this scene literally shows us how she has empathy for Minnie regardless of her race. All women must support each other or we all suffer in the long run.
@@toyman81 My point is during the era this film takes place in, no, it isnt going both ways because women during this time were virtually powerless against their husbands and fathers and male bosses. Way to miss the main message of my comment though by making it about men lol.
@@toyman81 Don't pull the "both sides" nonsense here. Sure, what you're saying is technically true, but the opposite is rare in comparison. In fact, it's so rare that around half of male domestic violence victims are in male-male relationships! UK has a comprehensive data-set on this: in domestic violence situations, females are responsible for 11% of DV murders & 8% of those charged with DV crimes overall. Over 80% percent of repeat DV victims are women (and around half of the remainder are - again - gay men). Not the same at all.
@@MikelosMit happens more than people realize. Men are embarrassed to say something. I used to work with domestic violence survivors and victims. Now back, to this clip. I find it interesting that Celia and Minnie need each other to be tough to one another it happens. Celia with Minnie's abuse and Minnie with the pie and being ignored situation.
The kindness that Celia shows Minny in this scene is what is missing in the world today. This seen always makes me tear up, because the actresses do such a wonderful job!
Celia and Minnie were one of my favorite movie friendships ever!! Celia didn't even hesitate to talk, be kind and love her. Minnie was an incredible character in her own right. Strong, no nonesence and so incredibly sassy!!
As a child many many decades ago I was raised in part by the family maid she was more a mother to us than the foster Parents she worked for Rest in Peace fond memories still exist
I grew in Oklahoma for little while about 50 years. If it weren’t for the kindness and generosity of women like Minny. There were days we would not have eaten.
She is vegan, and she said it in an interview, this was not a chicken leg it looked like one but it was vegan food production made it look like chicken leg
Ok....is anyone else just astoundingly satisfied with the sound of that crunch when they bite into that fried chicken 😆 cuz now, even though I just ate dinner, i want some of that chicken
I love this scene because there is a scene in the book that Celia went to protect Minnie from a stranger outside. That scene and a scene with killing a chicken made you see how much of a tough woman is Celia.
I totally understand Mini’s hesitations about being open with her, her last boss was a psycho and this is the damn south where no matter how “nice” I’m sure a white person claims to be they would eventually turn on a person of color and put them right back “in their place”. Just amazing acting choices.
"Plenty more to be grateful for then me" people have no idea the value of friendship. It's the greatest thing someone can offer to another person. You become family.
Jessica Chastain is such an incredible actress 💕 she’s a vegan irl so when she was on Jamie Oliver she told him that what she bit into (vegan chicken equivalent) was absolutely putrid so she did an amazing recovery and actually had me convinced 💕
Octavia not only deserved this Oscar but ALL of them. And, if Jessica Chastain has a fraction of the kind heart and soul the character she played in this movie, then GOD BLESS HER!
Oh this movie... its a masterpiece. And these two... there's only perfect scenes between them. Such friendship, love, and that wonderful scene in the end, when Celia and her husband prepared such a beautiful table for Minny. I love this movie. With all my heart.
I saw an interview with Jessica Chastain, (Celia,) and she said that she was a vegetarian, so the fried chicken she eats in this scene is actually fried tofu. Ever since, I can't stop thinking about that when I watch this scene!
Octavia Spencer is one of the most underrated actresses of our time she carried that whole movie Ma and made it a pretty decent watch. I remember seeing her as a supporting character in never been kissed, but she had a minimal role.
Was that also her in the first Tobey Maguire Spiderman? The registration administrator at the wrestling match who tells him that it's not a featherweight division and that he's probably going to get seriously hurt? It's a small bit, but the actress played it to wonderful effect and it came across as very funny.
Oh he was. When she was swinging the stick at him he literally called her a "Girl". When she is probably twice his age. Calling black women and men "girl and boy" is definitely racist.
@@bigrivtodagled8210True but Johnny didn't feel the same way. He loves Celia so much and I think Johnny ran as soon as he could after realising how horrible Hilly really was
I love how Celia just saw her as a person because that's what Minnie is. She's a person who works for Celia, she's a person, not that horrible word. She never let that cross her mind. To Celia, Minnie was a friend that she so desperately needed. They needed each other. I think that's amazing.
Viola Davis is great and all, but Octavia Spencer deserved more praise than she received for the movie...her lines were performed smoothly without any exaggeration or overacting. She's a true legend!
I so wanna hug and hug and hug Miss Celia…. That lady has a heart of pure kindness. She’s been there. She knows hurt, she knows pain and still she gotta show to Miss Minnie just how much she cares about her. Both them ladies so deserve each other, as together they overcome the hurt and the hatred as they learn from each other, as they build and as they grow…..most importantly of all, they teach us others…the ignorant, the racist, the blinkered the cruel and the unkind just how wrong we have been and how wrong a lot of us still are. …. Much love to you Celia and to you too Minnie ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This scene is so wholesome and sweet.
Octavia is one of the best actresses in Hollywood. OMG
I've watched this film, Octavia won an Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting role for this movie & she deserved it...
Octavia Spencer is one of the most underrated actresses of our time she carried that whole movie Ma and made it a pretty decent watch. I remember seeing her as a supporting character in never been kissed, but she had a minimal role.
Was that also her in the first Tobey Maguire Spiderman? The registration administrator at the wrestling match who tells him that it's not a featherweight division and that he's probably going to get seriously hurt? It's a small bit, but the actress played it to wonderful effect and it came across as very funny.
The whole time Minnie thinking Johny was racist😂.
Oh he was. When she was swinging the stick at him he literally called her a "Girl". When she is probably twice his age. Calling black women and men "girl and boy" is definitely racist.
Cause he dated Hilly & he was her true love
@@dreamsteddybearsmaster that implies that Hilly is capable of love… she didn’t have one ounce of love in her body.
@@bigrivtodagled8210True but Johnny didn't feel the same way. He loves Celia so much and I think Johnny ran as soon as he could after realising how horrible Hilly really was
“Right here on this no wax floor” cracks me up every time 🤣
And that scene made me fall in love with Jessica Chastain
I love how Celia just saw her as a person because that's what Minnie is. She's a person who works for Celia, she's a person, not that horrible word. She never let that cross her mind. To Celia, Minnie was a friend that she so desperately needed. They needed each other. I think that's amazing.
Viola Davis is great and all, but Octavia Spencer deserved more praise than she received for the movie...her lines were performed smoothly without any exaggeration or overacting. She's a true legend!
Love this movie so much. A great story and cast.
What an Incredible Bond They Shared!!!!!❤❤❤
Minny: "Minny don't burn chicken"
Later: *burns half a dozen for $46 ($478 today)*
I always love to hear that "Thereee youuu areee"❤
I love these two together ❤️
I so wanna hug and hug and hug Miss Celia…. That lady has a heart of pure kindness. She’s been there. She knows hurt, she knows pain and still she gotta show to Miss Minnie just how much she cares about her. Both them ladies so deserve each other, as together they overcome the hurt and the hatred as they learn from each other, as they build and as they grow…..most importantly of all, they teach us others…the ignorant, the racist, the blinkered the cruel and the unkind just how wrong we have been and how wrong a lot of us still are. …. Much love to you Celia and to you too Minnie ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Unlike Hilly, who is surrounded by a group of false friends, Celia only had one true friend and that is worth more.
The acting is very moving.
Best movie ever. Period
one of the best movies.
and this is this rare case, where I could not pick which I liked more: movie or a book.
