checking in to the hotel....

I just watched that scene on Netflix, and I didn't find anything about what Georgia did to be rude. She didn't demand her attention, maybe she wasn't exactly mindful of the lady's apparent occupation with someone on the phone, but I'm sure if she had said something like 'hold on, I'm with another customer', Georgia would've waited, but she didn't and I mean, Georgia was dying. I think she might've been being a little forward, in a pleasant and matter of fact way, but only because her 'time was precious'. I think we all forget our manners when we get to caught up in something exciting and that's all it seemed like to me.

Georgia,I think, is like the good version of the kragan guy who is similarly forward and respected, but nobody truly likes him. He offers great insight on succeeding in life through books or tapes, but is in impersonal and petty in public. Georgia always smiles and has a warm, kimd air about her, but she isn't afraid to speak what she feels. She's got nothing to lose!

And to be honest, if you're too concerned about making sure you're nice all the time, then I don't think you'll get anything done. And it will read as unconfident and weird which would not get the characters to like her the way they do in this movie. Which is the whole point: Georgia finally taking risks while still being a decent person and making people happy.

Wildcattin'...Wildcattin'. Pow! I'm gonna go.

It kindve threw me off at first too, but I don't think it made her seem rude like the other poster said she was just really pushy and forward.

Georgia didn't seem rude at all to me, just assertive & excited. And Lord, that hotel lobby was so gorgeous, especially the chandelier. Whomever did the set direction (is that what it's called?) was a complete genius, because every set was spot-on and the hotel was stunning. And I love this movie! A big favorite!

She was outspoken about the presidential suite because the counter clerk gave her a pointed look of doubt that someone who looked like her (dowdy, regular, unflashy) could afford such an expensive room. I don't think the clerk meant it in a nasty way, just an observant one, and Georgia had no qualms about setting her presumption straight, in an equally observant- but not nasty- way.

Likewise with the way she demanded the clerk's attention initially, I think the point of that was twofold. Firstly, to show how Georgia had always been rather unassuming and invisible to most people, and she had decided not to waste her last few days of life being that way. Instead choosing to stand up, stand out and be noticed.
And secondly, before her 'diagnosis', she probably would've been content to stand there and wait to be seen to. But because she had such a short time left (or at least thought she did), she wasn't willing to waste time waiting.



The mirror... it's broken.
Yes, I know. I like it that way. Makes me look the way I feel.

I felt the same way a bit. I work at a hotel, and while she was gentle about it and not boasting or snapping fingers, the fact that she walks up to a lady on the phone and just starts asking about her reservation came over extremely rude to me.

I thought about the scene more and what I think is the actress behind the counter probably used the phone as a prop and it was not in the script. It was just one of those things actors do to make the part more real. So when Queen Latifa comes up to say her lines, she as an actor has to get the attention of the clerk. I think if the scene were a real situation, she would have waited until the clerk got off the phone, but since this is a movie with limited time and budget, she sped it up and just gave her line while the clerk was on the phone and it came off as rude. I know it is not a big deal and I really do have a life, job and family, I just like to think on these things LOL. Thank you and goodnight!
