FRIED GREEN TOMATOES
Jon Avnet, 1991
"Whither thou goest, I will go. Where thou lodgest, I will lodge. Thy people shall be my people."
- Ruth 1:16
The '90s cinema was abundant with feminist films; there was Thelma & Louise, Nikita, The Silence of the Lambs, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Fried Green Tomatoes, The River Wild, Bound, G.I. Jane, Jackie Brown, Elizabeth, etc.
Among those films, Fried Green Tomatoes is the one whose approach to feminism I liked the most. It doesn't feature gun-toting women, rather it features everyday women who aren't afraid to speak their mind and assert themselves.
