A few small details that I only understand after reading the book

The relationship between the heroine and the female contradictory: The two were the best sisters in middle school, but Skeeter went to college in another place, and Hilly married a child, and his outlook on life gradually drifted away. So at the beginning, Skeeter had a high status next to Hilly (Elizabeth gave up her seat to the hostess when eating at the cold drink shop), and Hilly also worked hard for her on blind dates. It was discovered that Skeeter had warned her privately when he was reading prohibited books. The main reason was out of good intentions. It was similar to Baochai's teaching Daiyu not to take a guise when reading idle books.

After the hostess straightened her hair, the mother said happily that you can finally wear high heels: the hostess is too tall, which is one of the reasons why she can't get married. In the movie, before Constantine left, he watched the height that Skeeter had written down on the cabinet door year after year. Of course, Emma himself was not that tall.

Why doesn't Elizabeth like her daughter: She thinks her daughter is fat and thinks she needs to lose weight. In the movie, I really found a fat little girl to play.

Why Celia is at odds with other women in lifestyle: not just because she was unmarried and conceived with Johnny, she was born in hardship, from the so-called white trash from deep south, she has no education, she doesn’t know anything, so she fights Not entering the circle of local wives, and lacking superiority in front of black maids (the educated black domestic slaves in "Gone with the Wind" are very disdainful of the so-called "indecent whites"). It is also reflected in the movie: she can only boil potatoes and tortillas, and it is no problem to kill chickens by herself.

    Give courage and hope

    Racism was abandoned by history, and it was the sacrifice of countless awakened mortals, not just Martin Luther King or Mandela. This is the price of any struggle for freedom. Nirvana after sacrifice is the true meaning of life.
