Introduction: The comedy film Driving Miss Daisy made its debut in 1989. It follows the story of Daisy, a wealthy white Jewish woman who is also a school teacher widow. The film focuses on Daisy's home life, family, friends, worries and fears over a period of twenty-five years (Canby). By observing the system of associations and emotions evoked by Miss Daisy we develop a great sense of the love and patience evoked. This film highlights several sociological issues plaguing society. Different cultures and people have different perceptions about the problems they are experiencing. A concern considered normal by some individuals may be a significant social issue for another individual. Sociological theories help us understand these concerns and how to address them (Dillon 377). Summary: Driving Miss Daisy takes place over twenty-five years. It tells the story of the two main characters, Miss Daisy Werthan, a wealthy widowed white Jewish lady, and Hoke Colburn, her newly hired chauffeur. In 1948, Miss Daisy's son, Boolie Werthan, decides to hire a chauffeur for his mother because he thinks it's time for his mother to stop driving. Boolie came to this decision because Miss Daisy drives her car down a small embankment as she reverses out of the garage. Miss Daisy is not of the idea as she claims that servants, a chauffeur in this case, are like children who are always giving them instructions on what to do. Boolie hires a chauffeur, however, and Miss Daisy and her chauffeur, Hoke Colburn, must learn to live together. Hoke was previously a driver for a local judge until the judge's death. The film follows the lives of these two characters as they learn to live with each other. Miss Daisy helps Hoke learn to read after... middle of paper.......Conclusion: In conclusion, Driving Miss Daisy is a comedy-drama film that highlights several sociological issues plaguing society. Showcasing the relationship between an older, wealthy Jewish woman and her African-American driver, the film tells us more about the civil rights era with a coherence that delicately explains the rapidly changing society in the Deep South. Two theories can be used to explain the numerous concepts that emerge from the film. Social conflict theory and structural-functional theory both brought up issues such as prejudice, racism, and the importance of family in film. It is important to use theory to represent connections between different concepts. This is necessary to help us understand the world as it is. The film explicitly shows how racism, prejudice, and the family unit impact and influence society.
