I found this movie in my parent's old movie shelf, and decided to watch it. All I can say is: this is an American classic, that vrey much deserved all the awards it won, and takes a light side (in a respctful way) on the issue of segregation and friendship. Taht being the case howver, there are mild racial slurs, as is to be expected. But other than that, my whole family watched it, and there wasn't anything objectionable.

why would they say n***er in this PG movie, that word's only for rated R stuff.

This is such an awesome movie. Since my 10 yr old just spent a month studying black history, the racial slurs and discrimination were expected in historical perspective, and actually reinforced what she had already learned about the various time periods it covered. Without the background though, it would require some pre-discussion. The friendship brought tears to my eyes, and sparked a conversation about alzheimers as well. Excellent movie, just remember that PG means GUIDANCE, not approval!

Tastefully done predjudice and the n word in the movie are things that parents should be talking to their children about. I said 10+ because it's not a fun/silly childrens movie, but I think the issues in the movie would be good to discuss with children of any age.

"Miss Daisy" is a charming movie to be seen by the mature of pre-teens. It tells a great story of an old woman not liking the changes of the world, and an old African-American man, played greatly by Morgan Freeman, who along their struggling trip, find friendship in each other and learn to accept prejudice.

What a sweet and touching movie! the last couple of minutes just had me crying tears of happiness.... and I hardly ever cry tears of happiness. And I needed it. . The movie was quite racist, though. a synagouge was bombed, though not shown, and use of the word jew, and the nasty "N" word, but thats about as bad as it gets as far as language and violence. and I just found out we're watching this movie in social studies this year, so hurray! Driving Miss Daisy is one of those movies that you can watch over and over and over and over again and never quite understand it, until you've felt an unbreakable friendship like Hoke and Miss Daisy's. they're both stubborn, in their own ways, and wont give up on eachother. Very moving I cant wait until half the school gets to see it.
