| Comments: | Hi! I´m a boy from the Basque Country, north of Spain. I´ve seen the movie in Spanish, that was like 10 years ago, and it is still my favourite movie. At the time, Im reading the novel, its great to be so much time in contact with the story, but i have to admit that this time, the film may be better for me. Beacuse its music, character and atmosphere, i wouldnt imaging me thinking about those things with just the novel, at least when you take in mind that i live in Europe, so i am not used to such stories.
I have just read in the wikipedia that the book was based on a neighborhood called Irondale, Alabama. If anybody from Irondale or Birmingham wants to talk with me, i would love it! Just send me an e-mail! Bye!! And thanks for this opportunity to communicate with other FGT´s funs! |

| Comments: | i love this movie...by far my favorite out there....
I just received the best birthday present ever also. My sister was dining in NYC and saw Mary Stuart Masterson at a resturant and sent a message over explaining my love for the movie and Idgie and her acting...and I received a little note personally sent to me. It brought tears to my eyes. I will never be bored with this movie. This is just letting every fan know the Idge in person is as awesome and kind as she was in the movie. |

| Comments: | How do you intepretate RUTH 1:16,17?
Ruth sent the passage to Igie after her mom died. This notice of death in the passeage mean so interesting to me after I read more understaning of the Ruth. What I belive that Ruth's love is way beyond sexual context. "And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest I will go; and where thou lodgest I will lodge: thy people shall be my people and thy God my God: (Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: The Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me). This response of Ruth's is one of the classic expressions in history of faithfulness and loyalty. She first tells Naomi to stop pleading with her to leave. Then she affirms her determined decision to go where Naomi(Igie) goes. Ruth knows that this means she will be cut off from her own nation(Frank Bennett); but she is willing to make Naomi's(Igie's) people her own. Her decision is also that in favor of Jehovah, and against the gods of Moab. Naomi's God will be her God. Some people say that she rates friendship above faith; but in verse 17 she affirms her faith in God and her yieldedness to His sovereignty. "Her views of religion might not be clear: but it is evident that a principle of vital godliness was rooted in her heart, and powerfully operative in her life. In fact, she acted in perfect conformity with that injunction that was afterwards given by our Lord, "Whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple" (Charles Simeon in Horae Homileticae, III, 1847.) Ruth will stay with Naomi until death. There is reason to believe that Ruth was also motivated by concern for Naomi and that she was determined to care for her mother-in-law. (Ruth 2:11,12) The reference to burial was a reflection of the great importance placed by Eastern people in being buried in the proper location, a location that has significance. (Note that Abraham purchased a burial site from the Hittites.) Ruth's calling down punishment on herself as a form of an oath does not specify the type of punishment. Perhaps the phrase was accompanied by a gesture". |

| Comments: | Hello everybody!
I saw this wonderful film, Fried green tomatoes, two weeks ago and, even if I didn't unterstood everything (I'm french and there isn't any french version of the film), I just loved it and I can't stop thinking about it. It is one of my favourites now. My second firstname is Ruth :-) but nobody knows about it cause usually, I just hide it. I especially liked Ruth's character in the film, I think we have other things in common. This is really a good site, I'll show it to my best friend because she's fan of the film too. Unfortunately, I can't share the film with all my friend because they don't understand english :-(. |

| Comments: | My great aunt is good friends with Fannie Flagg. Her name is Peggy Hadley and her name is a small character in the movie. It's in the credits. Ninny is what my great aunt used to call my grandmother., whose real name was Ginny. Peggy called her Ninny and that is where Fannie got the name. My father has known Fannie for years since she would visit the family farm in Kentucky. |

The acting of Kathy Bates, Jessica Tandy, MLP and MSM is just brilliant. The story is funny, touching and heart-warming. I wish there would be more films like that where the characters are the most important thing. |

| Comments: | I'm a movie fanatic and can honestly say no movie has ever knocked me down and kept me down ever since I saw the movie premier in Macon in April or May(?) of 1992. I think it was the first week of showing. I remember the torential rains the day of the showing, and how I thought the movie was similar to the rain. Both were very cleansing; one cleaned the streets and the other cleaned my soul. I moved to Arizona in 1992 without having known the full impact the movie would have on me and without visiting Juliette! I think it embodies the positive essence of the South better than any other singular movie.

| Comments: | hello there
fried green tomatoes is unquestionably my favourite film of all time! i watched the film first and then read the book and almost quite liked the fact that the film had holes in it and left alot of the things unanswered or open to interpretation. but now, courtesy of amazon i realise this is probably due to the fact that someone went a bit editing crazy and theres a whole different version of this out there somewhere that didn't even make it to the collectors edition! hmmm...does anyone else know anything about the unedited version. yes i'm a geek i know but i really love the film and i'm intrigued! |
