thinking about some of the original script to fried green tomatoes

✨lesbianism✨

[the-rat-eatery]

Ok but Good Luck, Babe is soooo Idgie and Ruth coded.

“And when you wake up next to him in the middle of the night, with your head in your hands, you’re nothing more than his wife. And you think back to me, all of those years ago. You’re standing face to face with ‘I told you so.’”

This is Idgie singing to Ruth, you can’t convince me otherwise

“You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling”??? Help me

Season 1, Episode 7 | FRIED GREEN TOMATOES (1991)

This beloved chronicle of Southern female friendship was lauded by GLAAD at the time of its release for its portrayal of a lesbian relationship, though not everyone agreed its depictions of lesbianism and race were empowering. Having watched it as children, Amy and Gabby's mostly just remember how sad it was. Now they revisit the '90s classic with adult eyes and find both its charm and its shortcomings readily apparent.

Pride Month -Fried Green Tomatoes 1991

Though the film leaves the relationship um...ambiguous, this food fight is their "love scene" per the DVD commentary apparently. I'd argue there was nothing ambiguous about the way that Mary Stuart Masterson and Mary-Louise Parker played the roles tbh.

Some of the quotes are from the book, which while it never uses the word lesbian, makes it clear how they feel about each other and that Ruth and Idgie are a couple in the eyes of everyone and their mama.

Also, while the movie is great( I mean damn if I don’t have a crush on both Mary Stuart Masterson and Mary-Louise Parker and the idea of them playing girlfriends? Dream come true) the book is just generally fantastic.

CW -domestic violence, racism, racial violence

I wonder how many people don't get the one they want, but end up with the one they're supposed to be with.
