Schmaltzy, yeah... Beautifully, lovingly, carefully filmed, yeah...nostalgic, yeah... a little idealistic, yeah... Subtly accurate in lots of small details....oh yeah. And perfectly acted on all parts by all parties. This is one of the great films of all time ala A Wonderful Life, Casablanca (HIGH PRAISE from me!), Wizard of Oz, Shall We Dance, Our Man Godfrey, The Music Man...etc. If you don't like any of those, you won't like this one. Reams could be written about Dan Akroyd's surprisingly adept interpretation of his role, about Morgan Freeman's perfection of a "colored man" of the times, and Jessica Tandy's bringing to life of Miss Daisy. This is one of my all time favourites, and always will be. Even though I cry a little at the end.
One of my favorite movies.... It is like new....I love movies with Morgan Freeman in them and Jessica Tandy. They work well together. Although the subject of how black Americans were treated back in the 1930's and up until now, was terrible, I like how the friendship forms and I have never actually noticed a person skin color prior to the way they smile or greet you. I'm glad the feelings of how I was raised have finally transformed most American's towards all human beings. This movie is an excellent story, has a lot of truth to it, but am very glad that is not how people are treated anymore in the 2000's. We are all human beings.
love the movie----- great car scenes
