Yesterday I was rewatching Fried Green Tomatoes (great movie, loved the book too when I read it a few years ago) with my mom and turns out my mom thought Idgie and Ruth were best friends all along. Like the convo was something like:

My mom: The film is great, and the protagonists are such good friends, it's beautiful.

Me: Mom-- you do know they're lesbians, right?

My mom: Wait, are they???

Me: Yeah-- I mean in the book it is explicitely said they're a couple. The film is more ambiguous due to censorship and all, but if you read between lines-- it's actually pretty obvious.

My mom:

My mom: You know what, yeah, if they're gay that actually explains a lot.

It only took her 33 years lmao.

Not over the fact that the book is actually gayer than alot of the fanfiction

Is there anyone around here who knows where this scene comes from? Can I find it somewhere? Because I can't find it anywhere, I've been looking for it for YEARS and I only have this gif, the script and this photo.

Is there any special edition of the movie, like, I don't know, the 30th anniversary that has it? I'M BEGGING.

(The Book of) Ruth 1:16 | Fried Green Tomatoes

Ruth quotes from The Book of Ruth (Bible, The Old Testament), and that brings back SO MANY memories.

I had a math teacher in high school named Ruth, whom I was madly in love with, so, for English class, I chose “The Book of Ruth” to make an essay of...naturally. Flash forward: I was digging around for my old King James after watching “Fried Green Tomatoes” and I’d forgotten I’d highlighted “The Book of Ruth” and had scribbled a note on the bottom:

“Call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.” (Ruth 1:20).

Whaddaya make of that? Anyway, as these stories go, Miss Ruth got married later that year, and I was devastated. HAHA. 🤣

They were so totally in love and The Outsiders and Fried Green Tomatoes are two of the best books
