This is truly a good field they film that you were fall in love and you will not be disappointed I love that the characters I love everything about this movie I also love the relationship between the two women that shows what friendship is about and I love that the story has a really sweet story.
Fried Green Tomatoes has no shame in being sappy and sentimental. But if you don't get hung up on that, it's really a sweet movie about reminiscing on the good and bad of life, where underneath everything the real story is about the people you love. Of course it helps that the movie is well-made and well-acted.
There are some movies that I may recommend to everybody, and that don't look outdated with time. That is for sure one nice example. The screenplay is a great adaptation of the novel, the actors are terrific, Jessica Tandy and Kathy Bates in their best (what is a very high level) and Chris O'Donnell in a surprising remarkable participation. Impossible to don't get touched by this film. After 23 years it is such a good job that it still express its value as a masterpiece. The development of the plot with the flashbacks and storytelling was very original and completely adequate. Considering so much trash we see being blockbusters in current theaters, I do emphasize that looking backward we can find some stories that no one should miss.
As a young man growing up in the Country of my home town of Hawkinsville Pulaski County Georgia, I had saw the movie in rental stores, however I was just never quite interested in watching a movie called Fried Green Tomatoes!!! However one night while watching TV with my family I was flicking through the Chanel's and came upon this very net resting movie that just so,happens to be..yes you guessed it...Fried Green Tomatoes!!! Well right here in the middle of my review I get a knock on my door, some guy tells me that he had just hit a little black dog out in front of my home, we live on a dirt road and people drive on it as if it were a damn Interstate Highway!!!! Sure enough it is my late fathers dog Buster!!! One of the last things my Daddy said was son look out for my dog!!! Now I feel really bad!!! He is not dead yet, he has his wits about him, just a bit loopy, but catching one of those full size Chevy Silverado's ain't good for a 4 pound dog!!! Anyway please pray for Buster!!!! Now back to the Movie review... As I began to watch this movie I just got more and more intertwined into the story!!! I couldn't tell who was more intrigued by Iggies story, me or Evelyne Couch. The story about Frank Bennett was so interesting!!! Heck there wasn't anything about the entire movie that Wasn't interesting!!!! The most interesting part of the entire movie was the fact that Frank Bennett's body was never found!!! And even more the reason WHY IT EAS NEVER FOUND!!!! Big George Put him on the grill and made BBQ out of him and they fed him to the guy from Georgia that was so stern to Iggies that he WAS THE LAW!!!! And you can't beat the law!!!! So to sum it up in a few words!!!! Fried Green Tomatoes is by far one of the best movies I ever saw, most important I. Was working with Georgia Power and happened upon this little Cafe out in Julliett Ga. And before I knew it I was sitting right in the middle of where one of my favorite movies was made..The Whistle Stop Cafe!!!!! You can't imagine my excitement and couldn't wait to tell my wife that I had sat and eat right there where the story played out!!! Now I'm gonna take my wife there to have some of those world famous FRIED GREEN TOMATOES!!!! And if you never watched this MASTERPIECE PLEASE DO!!!
