I think this movie is wonderful and brilliant! Two people become the most unlikely of friends; Hoag(Freeman), is an african american Boolie Werthan (Akroyd) hires to chauffeur his mother around.Daisy... (Tandy) is someone set in her ways.She likes to do things herself; In the time of slavery and prejudice,we see hatred and cruelty.Hoag and Daisy go driving,,when police question why a 'black man" would chauffeur a Jewish belle around; We also note the bombing of Daisy's temple of worship.The saddest scene, is when Daisy's maid Aidella (Esther Rolle) collapses in front of the TV from a heart attack.Through the seasons,the two bond together and share chats and comfortable Friendship. Bravo and hats off, for the fine performance. Full Review
