Movie TV Tech Geeks #MovieFeatures #DrivingMissDaisy #MorganFreeman This Iconic 85% RT Drama Is Still the Most Divisive Oscar Win 37 Years Later

#nowwatching #DrivingMissDaisy #JessicaTandy #danaykroyd #MorganFreeman An old Jewish woman and her African-American chauffeur in the American South have a relationship that grows and improves over the years.

86 Driving Miss Daisy
A black driver has to deal with an obstipant old rich white woman. She slowly comes around and they end up best friends. Cute but slight, would be a Hallmark movie today. Not sure how it got so much Oscar love.

Sure, #DrivingMissDaisy skates over racism but #RainMan kinda does a number on autism. I appreciate that Ben Mankiewicz made a distinction between that and savant syndrome. #TCMParty

Interesting that #Rainman is on after #DrivingMissDaisy. Dan Ackroyd was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, a form of autism, in the 1980s #TCMParty

Being a parent is difficult, but being a parent of a disabled child or parent is 10 times as difficult and those people are angels and deserve all the support we can give them.

Now the sequel Feeding Miss Daisy #DrivingMissDaisy #TCMParty

Caregiving, caretaking is an act of love. God bless Hoke. #DrivingMissDaisy #TCMParty

The Old Folks home in #DrivingMissDaisy is actually one of Ackroyd’s House of Blues Franchises #TCMParty

The #DrivingMissDaisy Holiday Special #TCMParty

Dan Ackroyd aged faster than anyone in #DrivingMissDaisy to the point he go older than both Daisy and Hoke #TCMParty

Forget the 65 Cadillac- lets take Springsteen’s Pink Cadillac or Prince’s Little Red Corvette #TCMParty #DrivingMissDaisy

I had forgotten about the antisemitism story thread within #DrivingMissDaisy.

Coincidentally, when Jesse Jackson just died I was reminded that during one of his presidential races, my Dem Jewish grandmother/father’s stepmother said she didn’t like him, but “I don’t think I’m prejudiced.” #TCMParty

"... the appalling silence and indifference of the good people."

Maybe Morgan Freeman could have narrated #DrivingMissDaisy “I remember the first time I laid eyes on Andy Duf . . I mean Miss Daisy” #TCMParty

Dan Ackroyd’s Makeuo in #DrivingMissDaisy getting him ready for his next movie #TCMParty

“Always be the same ones” #DrivingMissDaisy most telling line of dialogue #TCMParty

Dan Ackroyd ages faster than Jessica Tandy in this movie based on the makeup jobs #DrivingMissDaisy #TCMParty

Oh, Idella... 😢

#DrivingMissDaisy cast taking a break to watch their “stories” #TCMParty

If DO THE RIGHT THING were released two years earlier and somehow won Best Picture (which it wasn’t even nominated for), it would’ve been like Hollywood taking turns on genteel vs hard-hitting movies addressing race. Makes me think of GREEN BOOK two years after MOONLIGHT. #DrivingMissDaisy #TCMParty

50s Alabama cops harassing a Jewish woman being driven by an African American - sounds accurate #DrivingMissDaisy #TCMParty

Also Sneakers was directed by Phil Alden Robinson, who directed Field of Dreams, which lost the 1989 Best Picture to #DrivingMissDaisy #TCMParty

“Alabama ain’t looking like much so far” sounds like Georgia’s state motto #DrivingMissDaisy #TCMParty

From wiki:
The score was performed entirely by Zimmer, done electronically using samplers and synthesizers, and did not feature a single live instrument.

#tcmparty #DrivingMissDaisy

That was a beauty - one of my favorite Robert Redford movies #TCMParty #DrivingMissDaisy

Also the movie that brought Bruce Beresford to America to direct Tender Mercies, which won Robert Duvall his Oscar #DrivingMissDaisy #TCMParty

I would like to see Sneakers on TCM one day.
A plethora of good actors.
