Driving Miss Daisy
Added 3/8/2010
This is a excellant movie--it is has comedy, a form of racism, and the emotions of someone growing older and having difficulties. The actors were VERY good. It touches on the racial tensions in the 60's and how blacks were treated with No respect.

Driving Miss Daisy
Added 1/6/2010
The relationship between a 70-year-old Southern woman and her black chauffeur, spanning 20 years. Driving Miss Daisy is a movie that will make you smile, and than cry. Driving Miss Daisy is one of the few good movies of its kind, being elavated to near greatness by a good screenplay, and wonderful acting.

Seven Reasons to Watch "Driving Miss Daisy":
Added 12/22/2009
Here are 7 reasons to watch the 1989 Academy Award winning movie, "Driving Miss Daisy":
1. The superb Academy Award winning performance of Jessica Tandy as a cantankerous wealthy southern Jewish widow.
2. Morgan Freeman's equally superb performance as her good natured but stubborn, intelligent, illiterate chauffeur, Hoke Colburn.
3. Dan Aykroyd's portrayal of Miss Daisy's son. He showed he's capable of more serious acting than "Saturday Night Live" sketches. More importantly, his character shows how an otherwise nice guy caves in to business pressures to be on the wrong side of human rights social change.
4. Esther Rolle's performance as Miss Daisy's maid, Idella. Just as she did in the sit com's Maude and Good Times, she gets in some good one-liners.
5. The portrayal of the warming relationship of Miss Daisy and Hoke against the backdrop of the times. When Miss Daisy sees first-hand the discrimination Hoke suffers as a black man in the south, she increasingly empathizes with him.
6. Historical lessons and experience. Many of us weren't yet born or were too young to remember Jim Crowe law in the South. With the costuming, cars, kitchen design, etc., I really felt like I stepped back into the years portrayed by the movie--1948, 1953, 1966, etc.
7. No on-screen violence. How refreshing to see a high quality movie without having to witness violence. As of this writing, this was the last PG movie to win an Academy Award.
