Late 80's, Driving Miss Daisy

Title: Driving Miss Daisy (1999)

Signature Quote: "I'm going too Miss Daisy, Good!"

Script: 4.3

Directing: 4.4

Acting: 4.6

My Grade: 4.4

Abstract: Hoke(Morgan Freeman), is a kind gentle man who would work and not complain. Miss Daisy(Jessica Tandy), is a very strong and proud woman who has nothing to hide, but when Hoke starts to work for Miss Daisy, he meets and struggles to deal with her everyday needs. As time passes though, they evolve a minor interaction into a long lasting friendship.

Critique: There are many things to say and not to say about this movie. It is a good movie don't get me wrong, but I feel the film did not finish or seem to be complete to me, there was something missing. A film I myself expected more from turned out to be a humoress, but still boring film. It tends to drag a bit, but like I said it is not that bad of a film. If you want to see it, see it, if you don't, don't.

Recognitions: Driving Miss Daisy was nominated for nine academy awards, and received 4 including Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
