My Thoughts:
- Those white ladies are snobs!! It makes me sad that there are real people like that.
- They wore wigs in the 50s?
- Minny cracks me up! She is hilarious!! I feel bad for her though. A crappy job and an abusive husband would be horrible! I'm glad she got to work for Celia.
- Celia was funny. She was so dumb, but at least she was nice. She probably worked harder than any of the other ladies!
- I really liked Skeeter. She was a great character, and Emma Stone did a wonderful job.
- I am never going to eat chocolate pie again. EW!
- I can't imagine letting someone else raise my child. It would take all the joy out of family life. Why have kids if you are only going to pick them up once a day, if that?!?!? I felt bad for the kids in the movie.
- I really enjoyed the movie, it was well done, and it was really heart felt. I liked the messages of the story as well, especially that doing the right thing takes courage sometimes. I loved that.
- I couldn't understand some of the dialogue. They either mumbled or I had to have my hubby interpret for me. I have a hard time understanding Southern accents sometimes.
- I laughed, I cried, it was a great movie! I'm excited to read the book!
Tyson's Thought:
- I learned a lot about Crisco, loved the surprise pie, and I'm hungry for fried chicken.
Hubby's Thought:
- It was very good, and also made me want to eat fried chicken.
I haven't read the book or seen the movie yet. Have you read the book? If so, how do you think the movie compared to the book?
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the book yet, but I got it from the library, so I'm going to read it in the next week or so. I'm excited!
DeleteI read the book first, but I thought the movie was really faithful to it. Minnie is so funny in both!
ReplyDeleteAnd I seriously have the same problem with Southern accents (and British ones, but that's a totally different story...) Hope you like the book!
I really wish I had read the book BEFORE the movie, because I felt like I knew everything when I read the book and all the surprise was gone. But I thought both were FABULOUS! Hope you love the book!
