The setting of this story plays an important role in the characters, and their roles in society. The time frame is around the 1990's and flashbacks to the 1930's. In the nineties, there was a strong movement of women and their strength. This is well played out by the over weight, ignored Evelyn Couch. In the thirties, there was a strong use of slavery, especially being in the Deep South. In both timeframes, the women in these stories stand-up and say enough is enough. Evelyn stands up to Ed Couch, and Idggy stands up

This is a great film in my opinion, and is well directed. There was a great amount of symbolism between the two stories of Ruth and Idggy, and Evelyn and Mrs. Threadgoode. The most interesting thing is, how much different each character was, but they all seemed to fit together perfectly. The use of flashbacks really helped bring you into the story of Ed and Evelyn's relationship, and Evelyn's journey for strength. One thing that I thought it lacked was costumes. I didn't get the sense that the close Idggy wore, matched the time.

A very important scene happens early in the film. The scene after the wedding is were Ruth (Mary-Louise Parker) and Idggy (Mary Stuart Masterson) first come together. It also establishes the closeness between Idggy and Buddy, which, after his death, really sets her character and her rebellion. As there walking along the lake they give a good camera angle of Idggy grabbing Ruth's hand. This is the true beginning of what is to come. The director also gave a great camera angle as Buddy had grabbed the hat and had his foot stuck. You here the train
