Conversation between Celia and Minny

[@clyderamirez1]

This isn't a black woman or a white woman this is two women. I'm guessing celia didn't even see her as a maid. Two women who helped each other.

[@eliscore]

Historically though this was a black woman and a white woman. It was a very different time to be alive but I understand the spirit of what you're trying to say. Celia could have been blacklisted by the entire community if they had learned that she had her black servant eating at her table. But yes they are two lovely women

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

@@eliscore Celia was already blacklisted by her community, so she didn't have anything to lose

[@JS-do7ux]

Exactly. Womanhood has no color.

[@scarlettsalazar4836]

Keep in mind Celia was white trash and white trash worked right alongside black ppl. That’s why Celia is more comfortable with Minnie than the upper class.

She is such an amazing character, hard not to love her ❤

[@deannaperkins754]

When Minnie packed her and her children up and finally left her abusive husband, I'm willing to bet they probably went to stay in Celia and her husband's guesthouse. What an awesome friendship they share! ❤

[@Arachne_Gxth]

I’m pretty sure that’s what happened in the novel but not in the movie

[@a.g.demada5263]

​@@Arachne_Gxth I like that idea too. We can even imagine Johnny and Celia considered her children like their own.

[@Lianel402]

I believe she went to stay with her sister.

[@Imbatmn57]

She went to stay with her sister, probably wouldn't want to impose on her employer. Do like the idea of celia being like a godmother though since she can't have her own.

[@cement6311]

This moment really showed the audience that Celia isn't just a naive airhead. If she was she wouldn't be so perceptive to know Minnie was lying to her, and definitely wouldn't say something like "I'd give it right back to him." Kindness is often confused with stupidity, and I think Celia showed that beautifully.

[@kelyoph]

Yes

[@emilie11291]

Their friendship is the best relationship in the show in my opinion. If the whole movie was centered around them I would've been ok with it. I also love how Minnie gets maternal on Celia, telling her she doesn't need to be going to the benefit and to stay at home lol and also how they show that even though Celia may be bubbly and sometimes a bit distracted, she's not really dumb, as she correctly assumed that Minnie had been beaten by her husband.

[@shaniadirstein3650]

When I first watched this movie and they introduced Cecila I was like "OH heres another stuck up, prissy, rude and racist housewife" . The way they introduced her character with the high heels along the pool, her long bare legs, dragging the telephone cord and her sunglasses and airy voice made me judge her before I even got to know her character. But by the end of the film Cecila was my favourite character and I loved her so much, loved her even more than Skeeter who I felt could be a bit annoying. In fact I was left wanting to see more of Cecila. I guess you cant judge a person on looks

[@jtfmfhp7080]

[@flamingkitten1]

Celia was raised poor so She was probably raised by her mama to defend herself again the advances and aggression of men. They show her butchering her own chicken so we know she knows how to get her hands dirty. It is the passive aggressive mind games of the wives she struggles with. While Minnie knows how to play the wives games but she was raised to be subservient and put up with mistreatment. They are good for the other.

[@Tarotlynx]

And probably knows what a black eye is, and how easy it is for a man to give it to someone, whether a woman or a man.

[@cat_luver0084]

I’m thankful that Hilly fired Minny, Minny really needed to have someone like Celia to work for. Celia actually cares for Minny and even thinks of her as a friend unlike hilly who just used her, insulted her, and screamed at her for using the toilet.

[@lexisgood1783]

Celia and Johnny needed her just as much❤️

[@madisoned]

Dang, the movie made us think Celia was just a pushover airhead and then boom "I'll hit him with a skillet and tell him to go to hell!"

[@emmescheeff925]

That’s the thing about genuinely kind and sweet people that often gets overlooked - they choose to be kind and sweet, they choose the opposite of cruelty, viciousness, etc. because they know both sides of the coin. It makes them more aware of what’s fair or just
