Fried Green Tomatoes

1. Ninny inspires Evelyn to lose weight and stay away from those candy bars, along with get her marriage back. Evelyn gets her a job to take up some of her time, and its pretty successful.
2. In the outer frame of the story there is only Evelyn and Ed, who are married with no sex. Ms. Threadgood and Evelyn meet in the nursing home. Evelyn goes with Ed to see his aunt, but his aunt hates visitors, or maybe just her.
3. In the inner story the two main characters are Ruth and Idgie( who are not lovers Tip and Mike) but best friends. They both lost someone they loved dearly and therefore resorted to each other for comfort and protection.
4. It was ironic how the preacher got on the stand and testified for Idgie, considering the hell she gave him, and lied that she was at revival. It was so sweet. Plus her and big George didn't have to go to jail. nice.
5. The railroad tracks in the beginning was my favorite vignette. I liked the good part of that one where Ruth and Idgie are young and walking with Buddy, well and before he gets hit. :(
6. Good ole' Frank Bennett comes back into town to take his son, Buddy jr. It was a summer night, where all the town was at one function. He breaks into the Whistle Cafe where is Ms. Ottis is cleaning up and babysitting. Ruth is out on a revival trip, where Idgie is doing an acting show in town. Frank slams open the door with his rifle, and comes marching in with his boots. His boots are the sound of danger getting closer and closer to Ms. Ottis. Reaching her, he hits the poor sweet ole' woman in the head with his gun, knocking her old frail body to the ground. Frank then grabs Buddy, ready to kidnap him. As Frank opens his door to the truck, Mr. Smokey taps him on his shoulder politely and said " Sir, I don't think he belongs to you." Frank then lays one out on him with his fist so hard that the man had no stand. Smokey hits the ground, soon to be on his feet again to get his point across that the baby isn't his. Franks swings another one at the homeless man and he hits the ground again. As Frank thinks that he's got his son and is ready to go, Ms. Ottis surprises him with a heavy frying pan over the back of his head. She positioned that frying pan over the back of her head with two hands, getting more of a momentum, and swung it over her with all her might to knock him down, accidentally killing him.
