2025-11-11 21:55:42 +0000 UTCIt always bothered me how it ended and confused people. Ninny does say when she first meets Evelyn that she married Cleo, Idgie’s brother, but by the end of the film and just the way they’re acting it seems to imply something else. Book is fantastic much more clear on that fact and on her relationship with Ruth.

2025-07-02 16:28:53 +0000 UTCJust finished my first time watch too with yall!! Emotional roller coaster fun!! I loved it! It was hard for me to separate MLP's Ruth character from hers in 'Weeds'. Def should give that show a watch if you havn't seen it yet.

2024-09-28 03:35:49 +0000 UTCI love the movie, I just hated some of the last-minute queer erasure: 1. No, Mrs. Threadgoode is not Idgie (and never could have been!). For one thing, Mrs. Threadgoode gave a very long monologue about her marriage and her special-needs child. 2. Evidently the first cut of the movie was more explicit about Ruth and Idgie's status as a definite couple (they are in the book) but the studio had them cut it (and also changed a significant line of Ruth's to Idgie being "the best friend she ever had," etc.). I still love it, and I think it's super-obvious Ruth and Idgie are a couple -- and have AMAZING chemistry -- so it doesn't ruin the experience for me.

2024-09-19 12:05:19 +0000 UTCI love the movie, but I 100% agree with you and hated the movie's last-minute implication there about Idgie. Not in a million years can she be Idgie. Mrs. Threadgoode is gentle, straight, talked extensively about her special-needs son, etc. The sudden "twist" convo at the end is just silly and I hated it.

2024-08-31 21:48:52 +0000 UTCI'm not sure why the movie seems to want us to think Mrs. Threadgoode is Idgy. She can't be. It doesn't make any sense. She says when she first meets Evelyn that she married Idgy's brother. And how did she get that honey in the last scene when she just came from the nursing home? I was pleased to see that Barbara Ling did the production design for this. She won an Oscar a few years ago for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

2024-08-31 19:10:13 +0000 UTCBack again now that I've watched the reaction. I love this movie so much and I'm so glad you loved it too. For sure, you should read the book. A few fun facts: 1) Mary Stuart Masterson did the honey collecting stunt herself with real bees because her stunt double was too afraid to do it and quit right before filming the scene. 2) In the book, Idgie and Ruth's relationship is very clear. They are a couple. But early 90's Hollywood wouldn't let the movie be that explicit, so it was implied. 3) In the book, Mrs. Threadgoode is definitely NOT Idgie. I'm not sure why they chose to change that for the film. 4) The author of the book, Fannie Flagg, appeared as one of the leaders of Evelyn's marriage class. Since you loved this movie so much, I would highly recommend Steel Magnolias if you haven't seen it already. It's so good. I always think of these movies together for some reason. Dolly Parton, Sally Field, Julia Roberts.... you can't go wrong.

2024-08-31 17:46:55 +0000 UTCYes! I was going to comment this. In the book, the townspeople even refer to Buddy Jr as Idgie and Ruth's boy.

2024-08-31 17:32:51 +0000 UTCIn the book, it's not even a question if they are in love. You should definitely read it!

2024-08-31 16:54:06 +0000 UTCFun fact: The Whistlestop Cafe is a real restaurant you can visit now in the exact building they filmed in. It's about 45 minutes from where I live!
