Nice movie, read my comment on it.

"Fried Green Tomatoes" is a great name for this movie. I saw it a long (very long) time ago, but I do remember most of it.

This movie has many factors that make it excellent, one of these is Mary Stuart Masterson's performance. She definitely has talent. Also, the way Jessica Tandy narrates the whole story is fantastic.

Tandy's story is changing the life of Kathy Bates in the present (most of the movie is about the past). The ending is pretty nice and happy, showing us that Tandy was Idgie. (M. S. Masterson in the past)

The racism subject is very realistic, it shows how white people had no mercy for the black people, how they punish them, just because they were black.

It's very funny the fact that after killing that man who was hitting Idgie's friend Ruth (Mary-Louise Parker) they cook him. And the investigator tastes him, and he actually likes the food. That's where the phrase comes: "The secret is in the sauce".

Idgie's personality and strong character keeps the movie alive at some moments, along with her kindness. This movie is really beautiful and it should be seen by every movie fan alive.

I'll rate it with a 10 out of 10. Go see it as soon as you can if you haven't already.
