"Sure you dont just want the whole bottle and a straw?" "Excuse me, were you dropped on your head as an infant, or were you just born stupid?" Yep I like Skeeter.
Stuart and Skeeter were doomed from the start. They meet, they hate each other, then they turn around and start dating, then he calls her selfish and leaves once she publishes The Help, which practically means he has the same views as Hilly or he's just scared of what'll happen to his reputation if he stays with her after that. Either way, they were doomed from the start.
hmm I think initially they were kinda okay for each other. I mean, he seems like one of those guys who actually like girls like her. She matches him in wit. The problem with him would be that he lacks spine, or rather, he's a man of his time. and skeeter was a woman of another.
I think she was just cringing and tried to hide it. To be honest, even if she was a bitch, she was a good friend to her group of little minions a few times.
My husband always says that a person's true self shows when they're under the influence. Turned out to be true in Stuart's case, too. He ends up being pretty much an asshole while sober , as well.
That’s true. Also from what I’ve heard about being drunk, people don’t turn into monsters necessarily when drunk. They don’t transform. Instead, they have all of these pent up ugly thoughts that they now have the gall to say out loud when under the influence.
@@Ella_bellacoconutit's wrong if it's deliberate and the person swings first then it's abuse. But sometimes jerks like him need to be put in their place. Not by physical violence but I'm sure he's used to the behavior of treating women like dirt and getting what he wants until he met skeeter. I mean don't get me wrong she wanted to go out with him but she wasn't about to role over and take abuse whether physical or verbal from any man and guys need to learn that. Sorry some guys need to realize they can't have it all. I'm of the belief that guys need to grow up and stop expecting everything handed to them because I used to be of that belief until I started to realize it was wrong until my family pointed it out to me. I've never physically hurt no one but I acted like a jerk and didn't realize it was subconscious. Even if it isn't physical I will call out abuse and what skeeters date did was abuse.
I just love Hilly's husband in this scene. Like "No. No don't you get me roped into this. I'm not apart of this. Don't you make me -Fuck she's looking at me."
I always found that peculiar Skeeter and Cecila never formed a friendship, both are outcasts of the social circle they both are connected although Skeeter wants out and Cecila wants in. I waited for a moment that they would come together, but never happened in movie, im not sure about book cause i have not read it.
A fantastic part of the movie by Skelter, and quite a useful line: "I'm sorry, were you dropped on your head as an infant, or were you just born stupid?" And he proved that it must have been both 🤪. Sad Fact: All the actors said their parts and characters were very difficult to play and do. They said they were exhausted emotionally st the end of their scenes.
My sister & I just watched "The Help". It's such a wonderful, thought-provoking, important movie to watch. In the movie, that oil rig guy was a jerk to Emma Stone's character. He wasn't supportive of her writing the book, "The Help". I relate to Emma Stone's character because she likes to write & she treats everyone as equals. No one is beneath or subordinate to her. She treats people with compassion, patience, & she truly cares to listen to them & their experiences. My sis & I loved this film!
Thanks for your reply to me. I agree with everything you said, 846cookie. :-) "The Help" is a wonderful film. My sister & I loved this film. My sis is planning on reading the book, too. This film is so deep & enlightening. You're right that this film talks about issues that many people have avoided talking. All people NEED to be treated as equals. No one is superior than the other. Everybody can learn from each other. I'm glad to read that "The Help" changed your views on life. Have a nice day!
A man just randomly so disrespectful in the beginning with anyone is just no good. There is no justification for communicating like that - bad mood, alcohol. I have not seen a decent man doing those things. Of course they were doomed and in real life anyone else would be doomed as well being in a relationship with a manipulating narcissist, who does not really care about your feelings will not lead you to happiness but only into a toxic, vile connection.
In the 60s women pretty much needed a husband as it was rare (and looked down upon) to be single and financially independent. So husband hunting was what women needed to do to have a stable life. So rather than a gold digger, I think he was just pointing out she might be desperate for a husband in general
Most women chose to stay home - they have actually always had a choice. There were female doctors before women had the right to vote, parity in college education was achieved the first time between men and women in the 20's (although only among the wealthy), and even middle class women could be homemakers for hire for rich families. The only thing was while men were expected to use their money for their own financial independence and to support their wife/ex-wife/kids/and any and all unmarried female relatives, women who choose to work got to keep everything they made to spend on whatever they wanted. In the 60s, with the end of a major war, middle class men finally got the opportunity to go to college as well as a few middle class women due to the GI bill - primarily awarded to men because of the draft. Feminists complained about 'male privilege' and got middle class women not previously enlisted in the war to attend as well. Sure, the guy was an ass - but in the context of actual history: men were expected to financially provide for everyone while women weren't expected to financially provide for anyone so it kinda made sense when guys acted this way back then. Now, of course, women are actually expected to pay for themselves as a grown adult so it is going to be seen as offensive nowadays.
@@JJ-yn4cj Nope. You’re undervaluing the work women had put into the household. The man provided finances while the woman worked day and night to care for the house, him, and his kids. “Sure, he was an ass, but-“ Yeah, he was an ass. Period. It did not make sense for a man to “act this way,” as a woman was providing just as much as he was, if not more. Your tone is as though she was able to freeload off his work and do whatever she wanted. 😂 You obviously do not appreciate homemaking, nor a woman’s work. It was technically a trade off, an agreement, a give-and-take. The man’s finances for the woman’s labor. But the patriarchal society taught that men were dominant and superior thanks to the marketing strategies of the 1950s. Yes, all of the nuclear family, men being dominant and woman self objectifying, was all thanks to marketing and not some pseudo sociological natural order. In the Victorian times it was about extended family. Social structures and times constantly change. Women did not have as much of a choice as you’re saying. A woman could be a teacher, wife, nurse, or secretary. Let’s be real here. Not all men let the woman spend their money. Women were not even allowed to own bank accounts until the 1970s. And if she was able to spend “his” money? I’d say she earned it since she had to put him out the door and get him ready for work every day, work all day, and continue working when he got home and he gets to relax. Remember that. 💋✨
@@Jocelyn_JadeI agree, although our times are much more different, I think others fail to realize that. I like to think we have it easy. Because imagine working from 5:30 in the morning to make breakfast, dress the husband, then get kids ready for school drop them off only to come back home to a mess made from the morning . After that you socialize with the wives of the corporate the husband is working at to keep a good reputation for him( which honestly can be draining emotionally and mentally.) Making sure the house was clean by the time the husband came home which would be around 6:30pm to sometimes 8. And even then you had to make sure your family were fed. (People don’t realize that cooking also takes a lot of work.) And if your husband got home late it was expected of you stay up until your husband got home just so you can heat up his plate and then cleanup after him. Only to go to bed after him just to see him reading a book or some document from work relaxing. FYI men today are more aware but back then they chose to be ignorant because of their surroundings. Men today have much more awareness.
Sad thing. Hilly was genuinely kind to Skeeter, in her own way. Helping fix up her look here. But, core values trump the "sisterhood". Skeeter and Hilly really outgrew each other. Thank God :p
Charlotte is such a kind person, she loves Skeeter for how she is and then she realises that Hilly is a bad person and decides to kick her ass of the property. Charlotte gave Hilly a chance but Hilly showed her true colours
I remember reading the date scene in the book and totally relating to Skeeter, thinking Kathryn Stockett knows what it's all about....and then when Stuart starts acting all nice and gets interested in Skeeter I was like oh Kathryn, I thought you were on my side :(
As a curly haired woman, who was born and raised in Australia from Italian parents, this cultural bias which considers curly hair as unattractive and inappropriate had me denying and straightening my hair for at least 20 years. When I went to live in Italy, and had some lady friends over my house, they accidentally noticed my curly hair after I had washed it. They were deeply surprised. One of them asked me 'is that your natural hair'? I nodded, somewhat embarrassed. After which, game changingly, she added 'but it's beautiful'! From then on, I never straightened my hair again, leaving it plush, curly and long. Skeeter looked much prettier with her natural curly hair. Prettier, fresher, more authentic.

No one’s hurt in this scene, no one’s dying, and no one is traumatised. It’s a joke. Just laugh.

That’s why dark humour exists in this world, and it doesn’t work for everyone and that’s fine. You don’t have to laugh at anything you don’t want to, but I’d appreciate it if you didn’t throw insinuations at me cause I think a line from a movie is funny and you don’t.
I just watched it the end of last year, it was such a wonderful movie! I feel it's an important movie to watch because this issue isn't talked about as often as it should be I feel. This movie completely changed my views on life! I reccomend the book to if you haven't read it!
I wish they kept the part from the book where Skeeter keeps her hair frizzy but grows it longer, wears shorter skirts, dresses more boho and in Pucci. Aibleen and Minny thought the new look flattered her as opposed to when she was trying to fit the Southern Belle look her mother was forcing on her and that her peers were into.
Cool Water And, Octavia Spencer (who won Best Supporting Actress for this very movie), Also, Sissy Spacek (Best Actress), Viola Davis (Best Supporting Actress), and Mary Steenbergen (in other movies) have each garnered Oscars in other movies. Jessica Chastain has been nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar twice--one for this movie and then another, different movie. Cicely Tyson had won several major awards in her stellar career as well. 😊
I know this is not a popular thought, but I really think Hilly was a good friend to Skeeter. Hilly was supportive about Skeeter's job, setting her up with Stuart & telling Skeeter she was worthy of him even if her mother did not have the same faith in her daughter.
Hilly and her husband give me the energy of “I didn’t end up with the most handsome boy in town, so I picked the next best option so as to save face with my friends” great casting
2:41- I'm glad things didn't work for Stuart and Eugenia because the second he was being condescending and belittling her job, he lost her. And THAT'S what kick started feminism: the disrespect and mocking that some dudes do to women. 2:49- Whether it's men or women, if you're condescending like this don't act shocked if the person you're putting a prejudice on fights back because you don't know them at all.
That's how men where those days - obnoxiously sexist and patronizing. Ugh! Skeeter had so much more than that limiting role which Hilly filled. I'm so glad she dished it out to her date that night. A good verbal punch. At last, someone with integrity and dignity!
apenstaartje anna He broke up with her because he didn't support what she was doing for the maids which was telling their side of the story.He thought it was causing a ruckus and that Skeeter as nothing but trouble so he broke up with her.
Because some people don't like change, especially if that change threatens their spot at the top of the food chain. Something we still see quite a lot of with opinions like those of Tomi Lahren.
Does anyone wonder that after he read the book she wrote, he might’ve seen she was right? And that they end up together? Like after the end of the book and movie
That was his first date. He was drunk and was trying to recover from the divorce from his ex-wife, since she cheated on him. But later in the book, he is actually a really nice guy :)
Joey Huang he was never married or divorced. His fiancé cheated on him and he intended to forgive her when she apologized but when he found out she slept with a white civil rights activist he broke it off permanently for fear that her liberal views would interfere with his father’s election. He ultimate leaves Skeeter for the same reason.
Yeah he really was a nice guy and didn't judge Skeeter for her looks. The problem in their relationship was that they never talked about anything serious (like politics) so when he proposed to her and she confessed about her book, he all of a sudden realized that he didn't really know her at all.
The headshake at the end 😂😂Hilly’s husband manages to be so funny for someone who hardly has any lines
In the maid needs a loan scene he talks and goes "woooooo I'm late bye sweety"
When Hilly finds out about Skeeters book he says “don’t hit me”

Did that guy call Skeeter a gold digger? "Professional husband hunting" ?

So rather than a gold digger, I think he was just pointing out she might be desperate for a husband in general

The face Hilly makes at 1:13 has the potencial to be a meme. 🤣🤣🤣
I just watched it the end of last year, it was such a wonderful movie! I feel it's an important movie to watch because this issue isn't talked about as often as it should be I feel. This movie completely changed my views on life! I reccomend the book to if you haven't read it!
This issue isn't discussed?
You weren't aware that black people were treated like crap?
Where can i get skeeters dress🙃
No idea, but i want one
The website "stop staring" has several like that
@@Liitebulb Definitely will check that out.
Try the 1960s
In Hollywood.
At 3:08 the other guy was just like that was not good
Even Hilly is like " Dude WTF?! " 😂
1:13 her expression gets me everytime
That could be a meme.
1:47 “you sure you don’t wanna just make it the whole bottle and a straw?”
Funny part.
When he whistled for the waiter 😠
I wish they kept the part from the book where Skeeter keeps her hair frizzy but grows it longer, wears shorter skirts, dresses more boho and in Pucci. Aibleen and Minny thought the new look flattered her as opposed to when she was trying to fit the Southern Belle look her mother was forcing on her and that her peers were into.
Damn for a second I thought that was John Krasinski lol
Emma has such a soothing voice.
This scene features to Academy Award winners = Allison Janney and Emma Stone
Cool Water And, Octavia Spencer (who won Best Supporting Actress for this very movie), Also, Sissy Spacek (Best Actress), Viola Davis (Best Supporting Actress), and Mary Steenbergen (in other movies) have each garnered Oscars in other movies. Jessica Chastain has been nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar twice--one for this movie and then another, different movie. Cicely Tyson had won several major awards in her stellar career as well. 😊
@@VintageRose75 Jessica has two noms but for one of each - Lead and Supporting
Viola also won the same night Emma did.
"Ad after having sex don't sit like some sqaw indian.Cross your ankles"
Jasmeen Grewal That's what the mother says when running after Sketter as she gets in the car.
+may edwards No. She said "and for heaven's sake".
+DaPopoloinParadise yea that makes more sense. But that sex comment was hilarious XD tho
I want Skeeter’s dress! It’s beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
I know this is not a popular thought, but I really think Hilly was a good friend to Skeeter. Hilly was supportive about Skeeter's job, setting her up with Stuart & telling Skeeter she was worthy of him even if her mother did not have the same faith in her daughter.
The dress is beautiful, as are many of this era, the hair was a fail
1:11
That would be me walking in with my hair messed up. Lol
Hilly and her husband give me the energy of “I didn’t end up with the most handsome boy in town, so I picked the next best option so as to save face with my friends” great casting
I can't believe I never realized that the guy who played Stuart was Piz in Veronica Mars!
My bank balance: $11.62
A hillbilly in the 60s: _YEEHAW_
"Dont sit like some squaw Indian! CROSS YOUR ANKLES!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
By far the best line in the movie.
"Y'all talk about quarterbacks or somethin." You know fucking wha- 😂
Living in the southern humidity does wonders for your hair 😊
ALL of them..this was their best work
FORGOT HOW GOOD THIS MOVIE WAS
Anyone else just notice Celia and Johnny sitting far behind Stuart, it’s kinda blurry but you can still see it’s them. 2:22
Well in the book Celia and Johnny were on a date as well. Stuart even made a comment about her being "hot" while they walked past Stuart and Skeeter.
2:41- I'm glad things didn't work for Stuart and Eugenia because the second he was being condescending and belittling her job, he lost her. And THAT'S what kick started feminism: the disrespect and mocking that some dudes do to women.
2:49- Whether it's men or women, if you're condescending like this don't act shocked if the person you're putting a prejudice on fights back because you don't know them at all.
2:24 it's a lace front
Skeeter is me on a date😂😂😂😂I cant with guys
That's how men where those days - obnoxiously sexist and patronizing. Ugh!
Skeeter had so much more than that limiting role which Hilly filled.
I'm so glad she dished it out to her date that night. A good verbal punch. At last, someone with integrity and dignity!
You were right, Flora75005. It is Yule May. Hilly even addresses her by name. My mistake.
Charlotte Phelan is my mother down to the letter! Lol
I want to see this movie so bad, it was an awesome book.
She took the trailer & all 🤣
I love this movie!!!!❤❤❤❤
2:10 his smile. YES THAT HAD ME.
Minny actually doing something nice for someone.
"awful Mexican man shoes" 😂
playgrlonika . ن ...huaraches...very comfortable 🙂
Well can someone tell me why broke up with her? I was starding to like Him, im not over it!
I was happy she found love and then he broke up with her!!
apenstaartje anna He broke up with her because he didn't support what she was doing for the maids which was telling their side of the story.He thought it was causing a ruckus and that Skeeter as nothing but trouble so he broke up with her.
+apenstaartje anna His boyfriend was a racist douchebag. He's actually the son of a State senator who believes in racial segregation.
people still do 😉
+Pete Conner that's sounds like you still want it. that's fucked man
Because some people don't like change, especially if that change threatens their spot at the top of the food chain. Something we still see quite a lot of with opinions like those of Tomi Lahren.
the food back then was soo delicious
thank you!
Does anyone wonder that after he read the book she wrote, he might’ve seen she was right? And that they end up together? Like after the end of the book and movie
Yeah I wondered that too, something tells me he would have seen she was right, but would have been too proud to go back to her.
Sarah Brightmore I think so too
In the book her mother didn't even know about the date. And Skeeter wore a black dress.
“ you will not be leaving the house in those awful mexican man shoes” 🤣🤣🤣
LOL 🤣 I have those shoes yet today LOL 🤣 in love em
As someone who went to Ole Miss I can vouch for what he said
Kyle Rainey is it still true. As someone who goes to a women’s college ( in the south) many people think we all are looking for husbands
I'm sorry but after Glow I could never hate that actor.
The Shine-o-later really came through
That was his first date. He was drunk and was trying to recover from the divorce from his ex-wife, since she cheated on him. But later in the book, he is actually a really nice guy :)
Joey Huang he was never married or divorced. His fiancé cheated on him and he intended to forgive her when she apologized but when he found out she slept with a white civil rights activist he broke it off permanently for fear that her liberal views would interfere with his father’s election. He ultimate leaves Skeeter for the same reason.
Yeah he really was a nice guy and didn't judge Skeeter for her looks. The problem in their relationship was that they never talked about anything serious (like politics) so when he proposed to her and she confessed about her book, he all of a sudden realized that he didn't really know her at all.
He was never a nice guy. When sober he had manners, but he was always an asshole. Skeeter was out of his league.
First impressions are always important.
This isn't a deleted scene.
me getting my friend ready for my friends date
I haven't had time to watch the whole movie yet but so far I really like this girl. I mean, she drove a truck while in heels!
Her mom is so much nicer in the movie than in the book.
ugh this movie.. so beautiful
