       After reading any book it is always fun to see the movie and compare it to the book. The books are always better because they give so much more detail and more in depth character study. When you read a book you feel like you really get to know the characters and they can develop over time. With movies you only get to know them for a few hours.
       I recently discovered that this book had been made into a movie. I have not seen the full movie yet but I just watched the trailer for it. It is only a glimpse of the movie but I can already tell so much about it. I think that the characters look like they were casted well. Evelyn looks perfect for the role. She is exactly as i had imagined her to be, a little bit over weight and kind of depressed looking.  Niny looks a lot older than I had expected. I know that she was supposed to be in a nursing home but she looks so frail, which is not how she was described in the book. She is much more energetic and loud and full of life. Idgie is a little more girly looking than I had thought but she dresses the part. She is very tom- boyish and tough just like the book describes her. Ruth is a pretty southern lady like I pictured. Overall it looks like they cast the characters well even though they don't look exactly as I pictured when reading the story. I am interested in seeing the movie to see if they cut out any scenes of what they had to add when they wrote the screen play. From the trailer it seems like they stuck to the plot of the book.
