The way the mother seems to despise Hilly's father and how he turned her daughter into an asshole when she says "he ruined you" makes me really wonder what kind of man he was and what he did to Hilly's mother
He was probably a snobby, spiteful racist like Hilly is. Believe it or not Hilly is actually much more spiteful in the book than the movie. She has no boundaries, is an interfering busybody and walks around like a Queen bee. She tells people after the dress ripping incident at the benefit that Celia is a drunk and compulsive liar who tricked Johnny into marrying her because she was pregnant. She also sends Celia a nasty passive-aggressive letter telling her she is more or less banned from the Junior League and any future benefits and asks for $200 for the ripped dress. That's why Celia wrote the cheque out addressed to "Two Slice Hilly" lol. Mrs Walters although she is nowhere near as bad as Hilly she does make Minny replace something she broke and charges her double what it was worth although other than that I think she did treat Minny well to some extent because she does give Minny a nice reference to Celia and Minny stops Mrs Walters from eating the pie and Mrs Walters reaction to the pie is funnier in the book she basically tells Hilly she deserved it and not to go tattling on Minny or she'd be known around town as the woman who ate two slices of Minny's shit! 😂😂 that pie was poetic justice because in the book it details Hilly's Home Help Sanitation Initiative which is full of racist bull shit about the diseases black people carry and how dangerous is it for white people to catch them, that's why Skeeter deliberately didn't put it in the news letter because she was so disgusted by it. Also a few of the society ladies do work it out that Hilly is the woman in the pie story despite her vehemently denying the book is about Jackson. One of them even tells Skeeter that she was so touched by what her maid wrote about her she has no intention of firing her and she'll be telling Hilly that if she brings up again and that Hilly deserved that pie and more and she will be voting Hilly out as President of the Junior League LOL Hilly gets her come uppance in the book only Elizabeth and a couple of others are loyal to her the rest are done with Hilly.
@@Cloudipy you should definitely read the book its brilliant! The movie is pretty accurate but it does deviate from the book so there are some differences. It really shows how Minny and Celia slowly build trust and talk and confide in one another and it goes into more detail about Celia and Johnny's relationship. Johnny is a sweetheart in the book he worships the ground Celia walks on and 100% has her back he doesn't give a fuck what people think about him marrying Celia. He and Minny meet much earlier as well Johnny comes home early whilst Celia is out and meets Minny, they talk and he confides in Minny I won't spoil it but he basically tells Minny to carry on working like normal as if he doesn't know as he wants Celia to tell him herself when she's ready. It also goes into more detail about Constantine and her life which is really heartbreaking and her relationship with Skeeter. It also details the other maids stories the good and bad. Anyway enjoy reading it if you do get it 😊
@@juanantoniomoreno3409 thats the point of the movie theres not alot anyone could do at s time like that. They would hang a white person up fir just sticking up for an african american.
In the book Minny never worked for Hilly Yule Mae did. At the start she's still working for Mrs Walters but Hilly decides to put her in a nursing home, sell her house and take whatever she liked of her mother's belongings. She offered Minny to come and work for her but Minny turns her down because she didn't want to put Yule Mae out of a job as they're friends. Hilly even offers Minny a pay rise and she still said no. So in retaliation Hilly tells everyone Minny is a thief and when Minny finds out why she can't find employment that's when she bakes and gives Hilly the pie right before Mrs Walters goes into the home. Hilly is so smug and says to Minny "I knew I'd get my way in the end" and when the penny drops about what went into the pie Mrs Walters laughs and tells Hilly "I wouldn't go tattling on Minny now Hilly or you'll be known as the one who ate two slices of Minny's shit" fucking savage 😂😂😂😂
Everyone is talking about hilly and I can understand why but can we just discuss the lovely relationship between Mrs Walters and Minny xxxx the subtle hints and the short dialogues scenes are all you need to see that their relationship is a rarity during those times. Mrs Walters respected Minny as she helped her and was kind to her. If you notice Minny was only ever sassy with Hilly, not Mrs Walters
"I believe she was working for me before you dragged us both here. Ugh, daddy ruined you" WOW, Hilly's mother has such a sweet heart standing up for Minnie like that. So Hilly's father is to blame for her upbringing, if the mother raised her alone, she would have turned out different.
That is so strange. Those people actually believed that black people carried "different diseases "? So they hired them to take care of their children and cook their food???? What am I missing here? Or maybe they knew that was not true at all, but used it as an excuse to mistreat them?
Seeing as how she was the only one cleaning the toilet.... why can't she use it when ever she needs to? Sooooooo sickening that people were so full of hate, rage, and self righteousness that they lorded themselves over their maids or anybody in this manner. What's worse... people like that are still around today. They don't die - they multiply!
Laura Butlerr racism is an old weed. an ugly weed. and it's not like other weeds in which it can ever be turned into something good or useful, the way dandelions can be used in salads and wines. it's something that needs to be eradicated completely from the face of the earth. the only problem is that the roots go so deep. it's been, what, fifty years since the Civil Rights movement in America? and we can still feel the roots underneath our feet.
+Laura Butler the old lady even though she was loosing it should have stuck up for minny and hilly shouldnt of said anything to go against what her mom said no matter how old her mom is. id rather have my made pee inside than stomp around the house being soaking wet
Gregory Perkins She did stick up for Minny. She told Minny it was okay for her to use the inside bathroom and she mentioned that Minny was her maid BEFORE she started working for Hilly. Hilly made it out of a big deal and since it's her house, unfortunately in this case, it's her rules.
People like Hilly still exist today, thanks to things like segregation and the awful propaganda Hitler's Nazi party put out, people like Hilly think they're some sort of "superior race" and can do whatever they want. You make these people face the consequences of their awful behavior and they will literally fall to peices.
You know what I find very sad in this scene along with how Minny is treated, is Mrs. Walters's dementia. When she thought that she was at the beach when she really wasn't and asked for her deceased husband that just broke my heart and Minny was so kind to her about it. She didn't treat Mrs. Walters like she was an idiot like her daughter does to her.
I saw the movie when it was first released. 'Just learned yesterday she is Ron Howard's daughter. I agree, her performance was flawless. RUclips comments are filled with hate for her character. A testament to what an outstanding job she did.
The acting and chemistry of ALL three actresses in this scene is impeccable, not only that but the PORTRAYLS of each character are spot on, Bryce Dalls Howard captures Hilly's bitchiness and bitterness so well and Sissy Spacek as her mom also does a great balance of feeling sorry for Minni and adding a comic relief in a serious scene and then Octavia Spencer steals the entire scene by showing Minnis braveness and boldness ugh no wonder she won the Academy Award
For some reason the last 10 seconds of the scene, when she’s walking out seems so authentic! She doesn’t even cover up with an umbrella she just knows it’s time to go and the job is over .
That's what I thought about that lady who spanked the girl abilene looked after, she spanked her for using a toilet (while gross cuz who knows how dirty but still they were insinuating they were colored toilets and that's why she could get diseases) she let's Abi change her, kiss her on the cheek hold her, hug her. It don't make any sense to me
"Daddy ruined you." So, according to Hilly's mother it's her father's fault she's vindictive, racist, and heartless? She should bear responsibility, too. For starters, not allowing her daughter to be so disrespectful. Just my opinion.
Bloombaby99 She probably tried her best, but in those days women were expected to obey their husbands. No doubt whenever she would reprimand Hilly for acting like that, her husband would tell her to shut up and stop being a "bad influence" on her daughter. Sad but true.
@ymarrero23 I agree 1000% but I didn't like how she made it all out to be her father's fault. She has just as much blame as he does. It doesn't matter that Hilly is an adult. My elders from the south (both black and white) will tell you they whooped their grown children's asses.
Guy's your missing something here. I'm not saying Mrs Walters is completely innocent, in the book she makes Minny replace something she broke that was worth nothing however in both the book and the film Minny stops Mrs Walters from eating that pie so she must have respected or at least treated Minny reasonably well.
Probably the cruelest aspect of this scene was that Mrs. Walters is still culpable for what’s going on around her. While yes, her dementia softened her, at least the book acknowledges that she used to be just as racist and spiteful as Hilly. But now that part of her is gone and she can’t remember it, and so only now does she show humanity when it’s too late. All she can do is be spiteful to Hilly when she overrules her (“Daddy ruined you”) but what good does it do? It only reads as Walters trying to absolve herself, of course it does undo who she was before the dementia, and pisses off Hilly. And of course, it ends with all this being taken out on Minnie.
Hilly is my favorite character not because she is vindictive, manipulative, rude, arrogant, racist, self righteous in a way and for a lack of better words, bitchy. She's my favorite character because Bryce Dallas Howard was able to portray a vindictive, manipulative, arrogant, racist, bitchy woman so well. Hilly is a woman of her time and Bryce delivered it.
I agree, even though Hilly is not my favorite character. The fact that the actor was able to become the character so well to the point where we hate her, it's incredible.
There is no logic in this. Minnie probably cleaned that same toilet. She touched it then. Why can’t she use the toilet? Well it’s obvious why. Because that woman is insane.
Minnie's story always gets me. It taught me how things can be worse so that everything could be better at the right time. Has she not been fired, she wouldn't have worked in Foote's loving and caring residence, nor that they will have something that they can use to blackmail Hilly.
They attained all the wealth from their narcissistic dad. Hilly was narcissistic just like her dad and her mom was just married for security. Her mom in reality was a sweet person. She knew the rules but didnt mind her using the restroom that one time.
FreedomWriter, I agree. That's like Celia Foote and Skeeter Phelan. Both come from different social statuses but they defied their time period and started change.
Miss Walters is so sweet to Minny, she cares about her. But Hilly is so selfish she only cares about herself, not even her poor mother who has to put up with her behaviour
I thank God for my ancestors and people who struggled so hard so I can walk with my head held high! Because I'd be a dead woman living back then. I don't think I'd be able to stop myself from poisoning people with my famous shit pie, or a bowl of gumbo.
Hilly kicked Minnie out of the house like she was a thief and it was so rude of Hilly to try to open the door when Minnie was using the bathroom. Minnie deserved better than Hilly, she deserved nice people like Celia
It's been awhile, but what I remember is that when Mrs. Walters was being put into the retirement home, Hilly offered to replace her own maid with Minny, but when Minny refused, Hilly called all her friends to make sure Minny wouldn't be hired by anyone in town.
MediaLover194 it didn't. I saw the movie before reading the book and nearly went crazy trying to find this part. In the book, Minny baked the pie because Hilly sent her mother to a nursing home, causing Minny to lose her job. She then went around telling everyone Minny was a their so no one would hire her. She wanted to force Minny to work for her. So Minny made the pie...
I watched this movie and cried so hard. I read the book and cried harder. Its unfair and merciless how much black people had to go through. I'm from India but I feel the pain. I know that times have changed and things are better now but there are still some racist monsters around that are like this till date. Bless those beautiful black people who endured it all.
I hated that bitch so much, I could never treat another human being that way and I think even if I was born in that era I'd be getting thrown in jail on a daily basis because I'd be defending everyone too much lol
"Minnie, are you in there?" "And just what are you doing?" Hilly, you know damn well what she's doing. You're just mad about it. That's why you sound so serious.
What I've never understood is if she thought Minny had diseases, why would she eat food prepared by her or allow her to care for the white children. It is totally messed up thinking.
The Nerve Her daughter has Firing her own mother's maid when her own mother told her to use the Indoor bathroom. You can see that despite mrs. Walters is Probably prejudiced she has a special bond with minny and there is a mutual respect and sympathy between the two of them. You can see old Mrs. Walters had more respect and compasshion and that minnie probably liked her and did not consider her bad to work for as well being she did not feed her the ' Special Pie" and even ordered old Mrs walters not to eat it.
I always believe that every action causes a reaction do not be dismayed do not be disappointed do not be bitter just have faith in a God that is a great avenger bitterness destroys your inside it can make you
The actress who played Hilly did a good job but I have never hated a character more than I do in this movie Hilly is just a horrible racist person she don't even love herself but she got what she derserved in this movie
I don't know what's what's worse The fact they expect her to use the toilet outside or that she got fired for using the inside toilet because of the storm
I was raised in the 60”s , we had a maid But we didn’t look at her as a maid . We loved her . I had five sisters and three brothers and my father felt my mother needed the help , he worked out of town all week . My mother treated her with respect as us kids did . Every house it seemed had a maid . We lived in the south . My father got transferred to the north so we had to say goodbye to our second mother (maid) us kids cried for many of days of not having her . I was blessed to have a mother that taught me it’s not the colored of a persons skin we’re all the same . It’s what is in their hearts that counts
+SpoonfulOf Books there is such a thing as economic slavery. . If society recognized that and what was being done to African Americans... It wouldn't be so widespread today. Living your entire life with debts, unable to truly pull yourself up and take care of yourself and responsibilities no matter how hard you work is a tell tale sign of actually being. .. Enslaved. . Or do you not see that? Maybe you don't....
Hilly shouldn’t have been that mean to Minnie because Minnie worked for Hilly and done her chores for the house and still Hilly is ungrateful for having what she has ( a big house and a maid to work for her). It’s good Minnie have Hilly the poop pie
The great Sissy Spacek, Bryce Dallas Howard, Octavia Spencer, Jessic Chastain, Viola Davis, Emma Stone... I mean, what a cast!! This movie should've won every single Oscar back in 2012 edition
I had seen Bryce Dallas Howard in a few movies & I didn't even recognize her as Hilly. She did such a wonderful piece of acting in this movie that I wanted to jump into every one of her scenes & beat the living sh*t out of her.

MrS98VAC Simple. You see back then (and you could argue even now) whites were convinced that WASP superiority was ordained by God and reinforced by what whites contributed to history. This goes all the way back to their justification of slavery which even after the Civil War carried on into the 20th century.
19EHF Not all whites had it good. The Irish, Italians, Polish and even Germans faced discrimination and prejudice too.
Sean Furlong I know, but as they were still of European descent, they still had it somewhat better than African-Americans.

Sean Furlong I know that, and you forgot Jews. But I mean within the past mmm.. 40 to 50 years. Look either way, its a shame that we separate ourselves like this.

She also sends Celia a nasty passive-aggressive letter telling her she is more or less banned from the Junior League and any future benefits and asks for $200 for the ripped dress. That's why Celia wrote the cheque out addressed to "Two Slice Hilly" lol.
Mrs Walters although she is nowhere near as bad as Hilly she does make Minny replace something she broke and charges her double what it was worth although other than that I think she did treat Minny well to some extent because she does give Minny a nice reference to Celia and Minny stops Mrs Walters from eating the pie and Mrs Walters reaction to the pie is funnier in the book she basically tells Hilly she deserved it and not to go tattling on Minny or she'd be known around town as the woman who ate two slices of Minny's shit! 😂😂 that pie was poetic justice because in the book it details Hilly's Home Help Sanitation Initiative which is full of racist bull shit about the diseases black people carry and how dangerous is it for white people to catch them, that's why Skeeter deliberately didn't put it in the news letter because she was so disgusted by it.

It only reads as Walters trying to absolve herself, of course it does undo who she was before the dementia, and pisses off Hilly. And of course, it ends with all this being taken out on Minnie.
I feel sorry for the mom and the maid, Hilly treated them like crap,so glad that the maid gave her pie with a secret " ingredient"
"Daddy ruined you." That's an understatement.
Bryce did an amazing job. I loathed this character so much that I was ecstatic when she gets her "just desserts" pun intended.
When you totally hate the character where you just wanna slap them you know the actor/actress played the role flawlessly.
But then, she came back with a vengeance~
A slice of pie full of 💩🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would have left the entire pie for Hilly AND her husband to eat and somehow gotten another whole pie to be served at Hilly's fake-ass Women's club.
@@septiawoman2911 well said. I was thinking exactly the same thing. 😂😂😂🤣
Yeah eat my shit.Class
Hilly is my favorite character not because she is vindictive, manipulative, rude, arrogant, racist, self righteous in a way and for a lack of better words, bitchy. She's my favorite character because Bryce Dallas Howard was able to portray a vindictive, manipulative, arrogant, racist, bitchy woman so well. Hilly is a woman of her time and Bryce delivered it.
+prisylovemty20 BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD IS BAE
I agree, even though Hilly is not my favorite character. The fact that the actor was able to become the character so well to the point where we hate her, it's incredible.
There is no logic in this. Minnie probably cleaned that same toilet. She touched it then. Why can’t she use the toilet? Well it’s obvious why. Because that woman is insane.
All because she used the damn toilet? Smh
Darth Veles it’s because hilly believed that black people carried diseases.
@@tedd-ivan
Honestly they probably knew they weren't. It was more about having power over another person imo.
@@TastyGamingQc Exactly!!!!!!!!
Ikr
So much hate. I just don't understand all the hate.
I think hilly got it from her father.
Yeah for good reason dude -_____-.
fuck you
@@blingblingpanda9998 Calm down. Need a pill?
Hate is taught
Minnie's story always gets me. It taught me how things can be worse so that everything could be better at the right time. Has she not been fired, she wouldn't have worked in Foote's loving and caring residence, nor that they will have something that they can use to blackmail Hilly.
I am glad that Minnie got fired by Hilly, so that she can be later hired by Celia who is nicer. Another 10 years of working for Hilly would be *HELL.*
Daughters are closer to their fathers so that would be partially why Miss Hilly is the way she is.
I agree, especially in this case- 1:36 'Daddy ruined you'
+Nutcase101 Yep.
Not always. I've always been closer to my mom.
Sex doesn’t make one closer to their opposite sexed parent
They attained all the wealth from their narcissistic dad. Hilly was narcissistic just like her dad and her mom was just married for security. Her mom in reality was a sweet person. She knew the rules but didnt mind her using the restroom that one time.
Minny could've lied and said cleaning the toilet but she was ready to be fired & tired of the bs
Thats why when she asked what sh was doing she didnt answer she just flushed the toilet so she would know
FreedomWriter, I agree. That's like Celia Foote and Skeeter Phelan. Both come from different social statuses but they defied their time period and started change.
You said it. :)
"Get off my toilet!" :D
This somehow makes the EAT MY SHIT scene so SATISFYING to watch
They did the dementia really well. I have multiple relatives with dementia and the portrayal was spot-on.
Miss Walters is so sweet to Minny, she cares about her. But Hilly is so selfish she only cares about herself, not even her poor mother who has to put up with her behaviour
Bryce Dallas Howard was phenomenal! I loved her as Hilly W. Holbrook. I loved to hate her.....
So, Minne can't even use the same toilet as Hilly, and yet she can hug and kiss the children and not get yelled at? That doesn't make sense!
Racism is hate not logic. None of it makes sense.
Minny was more of a daughter to the mother than Hilly was
Which is stupid when you realise they also cooked for them =P
When Hilly's mom states, "daddy ruined you." 😒
This movie is amazing
Caiti F this movie made me cry
It truly is, it's one of my favorite movies of all times.
1:38: "You're daddy ruined you".
I thank God for my ancestors and people who struggled so hard so I can walk with my head held high! Because I'd be a dead woman living back then. I don't think I'd be able to stop myself from poisoning people with my famous shit pie, or a bowl of gumbo.
The cinematography in this scene is amazing
You can see the difference in how Minny treats Hilly and her mother.
So Hilly lost her man and her maid to Celia. Bwahahahaha
Hilly mother have a good heart but unfortunately her daughter kinda seems evil to her own maid minny!!😐
Hilly kicked Minnie out of the house like she was a thief and it was so rude of Hilly to try to open the door when Minnie was using the bathroom. Minnie deserved better than Hilly, she deserved nice people like Celia
They’re so rich why didn’t they have air conditioning?
No one really had A/C in the 60s. Plus in this scene, the power went out during the storm. Hence all the lit candles
Minny reminds me of my grandmother who was a beautiful dark skin woman
“Daddy ruined you”
No human should ever do that to another human being.
I'm glad they went with this scenario rather than what was in the book. More dramatic buildup.
catbot158 I didn't read the book, how did the scene happen there?
It's been awhile, but what I remember is that when Mrs. Walters was being put into the retirement home, Hilly offered to replace her own maid with Minny, but when Minny refused, Hilly called all her friends to make sure Minny wouldn't be hired by anyone in town.
MediaLover194 it didn't. I saw the movie before reading the book and nearly went crazy trying to find this part. In the book, Minny baked the pie because Hilly sent her mother to a nursing home, causing Minny to lose her job. She then went around telling everyone Minny was a their so no one would hire her. She wanted to force Minny to work for her. So Minny made the pie...
I watched this movie and cried so hard. I read the book and cried harder. Its unfair and merciless how much black people had to go through. I'm from India but I feel the pain. I know that times have changed and things are better now but there are still some racist monsters around that are like this till date. Bless those beautiful black people who endured it all.
Things did not get better for us
"A servant is a master in disguise..."
it always gets me😢
I hated that bitch so much, I could never treat another human being that way and I think even if I was born in that era I'd be getting thrown in jail on a daily basis because I'd be defending everyone too much lol
"Minnie, are you in there?"
"And just what are you doing?"
Hilly, you know damn well what she's doing. You're just mad about it. That's why you sound so serious.
Hilly reminds me of Serena Joy from the Handmaid's Tale.
What I've never understood is if she thought Minny had diseases, why would she eat food prepared by her or allow her to care for the white children. It is totally messed up thinking.
The Nerve Her daughter has Firing her own mother's maid when her own mother told her to use the Indoor bathroom. You can see that despite mrs. Walters is Probably prejudiced she has a special bond with minny and there is a mutual respect and sympathy between the two of them. You can see old Mrs. Walters had more respect and compasshion and that minnie probably liked her and did not consider her bad to work for as well being she did not feed her the ' Special Pie" and even ordered old Mrs walters not to eat it.
Miss hilly is a horrible witch to Minny.
Hilly's bothered by the heat...but she's lighting so many candles.....
Get off my TOILET!!! 🚽 2:32
You saw the devil come out of her when she heard the toilet flush....
....that's dark.
I’m a fan of Bryce Dallas Howard but she played Hilly so convincingly that I fucking despise her in this movie
most likely Hilly learned what she did from her momma before she went senile
She got it from her father
Minny been fired was definitely 🔥 a sign from God. And to go to the Foote Couples 💑 instead. 😌🙏🏿🤍💙
Minny is my favorite character from this movie.
hate is secondary..but the needs to feel supreme is what feeds it..
The need to feel supreme and superior is fueled by hate, Please stop looking for a way to making racism seem okay.. It is not.
I always believe that every action causes a reaction do not be dismayed do not be disappointed do not be bitter just have faith in a God that is a great avenger bitterness destroys your inside it can make you
T_T The Mom seemed like such a nice old lady!
Unfortunately there were people who thought that way. Years of conditioning were included in that. Thankfully, people thought otherwise.
And just whut are you doin’?
I’m hosting a tea party.
She is good to cook and clean ,but not good enough to be able to use restroom .Hint Hint ,payback on the way later....go Minny 👍
The actress who played Hilly did a good job but I have never hated a character more than I do in this movie Hilly is just a horrible racist person she don't even love herself but she got what she derserved in this movie
What a stupid reason to get fired for.
I was also wondering how did poor Carrie White had a daughter like Chris Hargensen lol
I don't know what's what's worse
The fact they expect her to use the toilet outside or that she got fired for using the inside toilet because of the storm
Not "they" - just Hilly.
See I could never live in a society that let THIS SHIT just fly.
I was raised in the 60”s , we had a maid But we didn’t look at her as a maid . We loved her . I had five sisters and three brothers and my father felt my mother needed the help , he worked out of town all week . My mother treated her with respect as us kids did . Every house it seemed had a maid . We lived in the south . My father got transferred to the north so we had to say goodbye to our second mother (maid) us kids cried for many of days of not having her . I was blessed to have a mother that taught me it’s not the colored of a persons skin we’re all the same . It’s what is in their hearts that counts
2.34 get out of my toilet. It sounds like a man shouting 🤣
Ended up doing Minny a favor.
This was shown in my History class about Slavery and how it was like
This is not slavery -_-
Edwin Montanez Pretty sure it was, or maybe my history teacher is that dumb
+Edwin Montanez this is slavery..
+Namo Kapili The Help are hired maids, barely given minimum wage. It sucks, but it's not slavery.
+SpoonfulOf Books there is such a thing as economic slavery. . If society recognized that and what was being done to African Americans... It wouldn't be so widespread today. Living your entire life with debts, unable to truly pull yourself up and take care of yourself and responsibilities no matter how hard you work is a tell tale sign of actually being. .. Enslaved. . Or do you not see that? Maybe you don't....
Sit down here, for a spell. 🌹
Hilly shouldn’t have been that mean to Minnie because Minnie worked for Hilly and done her chores for the house and still Hilly is ungrateful for having what she has ( a big house and a maid to work for her). It’s good Minnie have Hilly the poop pie
The great Sissy Spacek, Bryce Dallas Howard, Octavia Spencer, Jessic Chastain, Viola Davis, Emma Stone... I mean, what a cast!! This movie should've won every single Oscar back in 2012 edition
I would’ve taken a dump 🤷🏿♀️
I had seen Bryce Dallas Howard in a few movies & I didn't even recognize her as Hilly.
She did such a wonderful piece of acting in this movie that I wanted to jump into every one of her scenes & beat the living sh*t out of her.
Eventually this was the last time Minny was treated badly. When she was hired by Celia, everything changed.
Minnie was probably better off leaving Hilly anyway!
Hey, don't forget she works for Celia now and that's the best thing she could have
2:32 - Me when I call my dad and he doesn't answer.
Why didn't Mrs Walters stop Hilly from firing Minnie?
oooh19 same thing I said. I would assume that because of her dementia she didn’t.
She probably didn't know what to say ! ! ! !
@@stefanmakara373 i see! And you're totally Right! I got real Family Members who're like that toward me 😟 and most People assume that they're Good and innocent 😒 but they bullied and judged me when they wanted ! ! ! !
