Fried green tomatos



In this adaptation of Fanny Flagg's novel, flashbacks reveal the remarkable and mysterious story of soul mates Idgie (Mary Stuart Masterson) and Ruth Jamison (Mary-Louise Parker), whose antics cause an uproar in their rural Southern town during the 1920s. Feisty Ninny Threadgoode (Jessica Tandy) tells the tale to a repressed Alabama housewife (Kathy Bates), who becomes obsessed with Idgie and Ruth, and ultimately finds inspiration in their story.

I love this movie. I always forget that I've seen it so I rent it and realize that I have but still feel like its the first time i saw it. I absoultly love the issuies this movie brings up and the history of our country. Really good teaching toll for older kids so they see what blacks were treated like back than. Also to teach girls how to get out of abusive relationship and move on from tragedy. Don't like the whole implying that the girl killed that man but for older kids that have been taught killing is bad I think this is a good movie for them to see the history of our country.
