Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe: Difference between revisions

''Fried Green Tomatoes'' tells the story of Idgie and Ruth as they live during the early 20th century in the south, as they face racism, sexism, and deal with homosexuality. All with a touch of humor thrown in between. Their story is told by an old woman named Ninny Threadgood, when visited in her retirement home by Evelyn, an unhappy woman in a troubled marriage who becomes inspired by Idgie and Ruth's spirit and learns from them how to be her own person.

* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: The movie decided to play Idgie and Ruth's relationship as a more subtle and heavily implied thing, rather than outright stating to the camera they were lovers.
