Film 42 - Driving Miss Daisy

From a blood and guts gore-fest, to a touching comedy-drama starring Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman. Driving Miss Daisy does have several similarities to another film with Tandy in that I've seen (Fried Green Tomatoes) in that it explores the racial issues in the south of America and does it in a thought-provoking and really touching way.

Everything is just really well done on the film, Tandy and Freeman play their roles with aplomb and special praise has to go to Hans Zimmer for creating a distinctive and stylish soundtrack.

The story just has a great flow to it, and gradually with the help of Hoke we start to see the cold shell retreat from Daisy and a great friendship is established. One of those truly heart-warming films
