    Fannie Flagg wrote the book “Fried Green Tomatoes”. It went much more in depth about Ruth and Idgie’s feelings. They watered down that aspect for the movie so there wouldn’t be any anti-lesbian backlash. But, the book doesn’t swell on that issue.
    It’s A wonderfully sentimental, funny, sad book more about love than anything. Being in love, and love of others. It involves Love between people, love between friends, love of a town, and of a time long gone.
    I think Fanny wrote the screenplay. It was nominated for an Academy Award. She also wrote a sequel to “Tomatoes”, called “The Wonder Boy of Whistlestop”. It’s about Buddy Jr’s life. Fanny Flagg isn’t just funny, or a TV game show panelist. She is tremendously talented and wrote from the heart. She’s still alive as of this time in 2022.

    I can’t thank you enough Jordan. Even though my heart breaks a little, each time I watch it. ( Because of Buddy’s dying). It is still one of my favorite movies. I would truly love to go visit it myself and have some fried green tomatoes.
    Thank you so much for taking us there, and presenting it as only you can do! You make everything so real, as though we are right there with you!❤️👏👏🥲🙏🥰

    This is one of my very favorite movies.....and that is saying something. I'll bet I've watched it 20 times over the years. It's one of those stories that the characters are so real that they crawl into your heart and stay there. Jordan, you should do the author, Fannie Flagg.

    Thank you for this, Jordan! "Fried Green Tomatoes" is one of my favorite movies, ever. My mom grew up in a small southern town in the late teens, 1920's and '30's, and I spent childhood summers there. Oh that food! The movie got it exactly right. My mom loved this movie too. I feel like I am watching a Valentine to her childhood. In 2016, I scattered my parents' ashes at my mom's childhood home and at another nearby home my grandparents built in 1952, where I spent some of my childhood. The theme from "Fried Green Tomatoes" was playing in my head and my heart the entire time. Again, thank you for vlogging this movie!
