Plot:
The relationship between a 70-year-old Southern woman and her black chauffeur, spanning 20 years.
Tandy and Freeman are perfect in their roles, and a much younger Aykroyd also performs commendably. This movie speaks more through what is left unsaid, and is a beautiful picture for it -- if you can catch the charming southern drawl throughout.
DRIVING MISS DAISY (1989)
directed by Norman Jewison
starring Morgan Freeman, Jessica Tandy, Dan AykroydDriving Miss Daisy is about an old lady who cant drive anymore cause insurances company wont trust her after a silly accident. Her rich son hires a well-spirited black chauffeur but she doesnt want him to drive her anywhere until she has no choice. At first she wont really like him but things will evolves and the film follows their relationship over a period of 20 years.What is interesting about the film are the performances. Jessica Tandy is wonderful and Morgan Freeman is amazing. Even Dan Aykroyd showed he could do more than just coemdy.
Driving Miss Daisy is light in tone but it works fine. It shows how America changed between teh 50's and the 70's. There are some racial comments but this film is mostly about the friendship between the two main characters. Miss Daisy is stubborn, annoying and cynical and it takes her almost 20 years to finally admit to her driver that he is her best friend in a very touching scene near the end.
Driving Miss Daisy is often funny, never pretentious and always thoughtful. Good film.
an extraordinary soul-touching film with one of the best performances by morgan freeman "mornin miss daisy"
Alfred Uhry's storytelling is light and endearingly comedic, while at the same time stands out as poignant and socially relevant. A black man and a Jewish woman endure not only each other but their ever-changing Southern society over 25 years. magnificent acting, subtly rich storytelling, and just an overall pleasant, well-made film.
Quaint and endearing. Really shows how very different people can still strike up a friendship, however unconventional it may be. A nicely-acted and well-made film overall.
