Dan Aykroyd has a sorry Southern accent. He gets zero stars for this performance. Disgraceful and pathetic. They should've found somebody from the South, that has a real Southern accent to play this part.
Funny how despite being primed up for a confrontation, they then both fled the scene when they saw that Hoke actually admitted to eating the can of salmon and replaced it straight away.
Yes people tend to get themselves over worked up over too many small things in their mind and letting their imaginations run wild. Then they reality is actually different.
One additional and subtle nuance to this scene is while Miss Daisy is speaking of servants as taking what they want, and like having children in the house, Boolie, (her son), during this scene has opened the fridge and is helping himself to a snack.
I can smell that kitchen. I know the scent of that woman. I have seen that dressing gown countless times. I know that maid. I know Hoke. I know the garden, I know the trees. This is my grandmother's world.
@@junkmonkey9859 My grandmother was so lucky, she got to see and have a relationship with her great grandkids. The eldest was 8 when she died, and he is in his 30's now and still remembers Nanny Rose. I have a large photo on my wall looking down on me of my Grandmother, Mom, sister and my three nephews, one on each lap. She looks so happy and radiant in the picture. Sadly my Gran and Mother passed away within a year of each other. Gran was 90 and developed colon cancer and mom was only 60, and had a sudden heart attack. I firmly believe she died of a broken heart as she and her mom were incredibly close and mom visited at least three times a week and spoke to her on the phone every day.
Jaye Batista Boolie hired an honest man, but his subconsciously racist mother thought it was not a smart move. He proved her wrong! Off the subject, I like the old style washing machine in the kitchen and it’s a nice frosty 33 degrees in the morning. A nice cold day to enjoy in the south!
@@jondstewart oh, I know. I read the situation exactly as you did. That smirk on his face was awesome. Still one of my fave childhood movies. So many lessons.
I swear what is it with old people thinking somebody is stealing from them? I went through it with my grandmother over 20 years ago and now it seems like I may end up going through it with my mother too. And it's never anything of actual value, a men's bathrobe, an old softball mitt but never the silverware or the diamond engagement ring.
It is common that as people age they become more suspicious- especially if they begin developing dementia. But this scene is focused on her desire to be independent (even tho she is no longer a good driver). To convince her son that the driver needs to go, she came up with an accusation that would be accepted by many whites: he was stealing from her.
The old lady next door has just had to go into a nursing home and she's always going on about how her daughter and nephew are ransacking the house and stealing everything not nailed down. I wouldn't mind, but she's got nothing of any great value. And it will all go to her daughter anyway.
@@adelucas4824 : Yeah, that's pretty common. An old man, about 80, lived next door to me. He kept saying his kids were causing him stress, hoping he would die so they could inherit his house and the sizeable amount of money he had in shares on the stock market. Actually, they were concerned because he had got too frail to live safely on his own. I said to him "You miserable silly old coot. If that's what's worrying you, cash out your shares and spend it. Have fun! Hire a maid. Eat in nice restaurants. Hire a couple of high class prostitutes." He replied, ""Oh I couldn't do that, I can't get it up anymore." I replied, "Doesn't matter - they'll put on a good show for you anyway. So good it just might stand up." But he did nothing, his kids got him certified and he went into care and he hated it.

Dad had recorded this movie on a video cassette. I grew up watching it because it was dad's favourite movie, he had memorised some scenes word for word. Lol i think I was 5 or 6. Great memories indeed
I laughed so hard for a good 10 hours afterwards! I was in tears laughing so hard that my sides ached. I actually had to go to the doctor I couldn't stop laughing. I am convinced it's the funniest scene in movie history. It is SO funny!
“Well, they was kinda STIFF” In other words, your cooking so bad I had to sustain my body by borrowing a can of salmon . Hell i even paid for it. Love it
One of all time favorite movies. We have got the DVD and have probably watched 20 times over the years. It is one of those cuddle up on the couch on a cold winter´s night with a fire in the fireplace type of movie.
Never noticed this but southerners typically pronounce the L in salmon. I've never heard an older southerner say "sah-mon". They distinctly pronounce it "sal-mon" and the L is loud and proud. Source: Alabama born and raised.
And just to think that human beings were at one time treated lower than an animal. Probably her dog had more freedom to eat anything in her house without asking and wouldn't have to explain or replace it
You've missed the point of the movie and this scene in particular. She's an old retired lady becoming senile, which shows up in various ways progressively more serious as the movie timeframe progresses. When she was younger and mentally fit, she would have had better things to do than go rummaging through rubbish looking for evidence - she would have already known Hoke was honest. And wouldn't have been such a scrooge over what Hoke can eat.
If someone can't afford linen napkins and they're in plain sight, I think most anyone human would at least cast a longing glance. Miss D just assumed Hoke would go to the next level, but she was wrong.
Lol I know but it was for hoke not her to eat. I personally have never had any pork in my home as I’m Muslim. But pork is a cheap meat maybe she gave him the pork because it was cheap and easy.
Pork chops are very cheap and easy to make. She probably wasn’t cooking them herself, since she had a black woman working for her too. Also my boss is Jewish and he loves pull pork barbecue so sometimes people just ignore religious food restrictions lol.
What is a Jewish lady doing with pork chops in her house less known to cook it to give it to Hike and the rest of the employees that doesn't make any sense #keep it kosher.
She didn't cook it was Idela her maid. she cooked those chops for Hoke, Not for miss daisy. Also Miss daisy didn't grow up being That religious to follow Kosher laws. She only went to Temple on Shabbat and we hardly see her praying or lighting candles in the House. The mere fact that her synagogue was called "Temple' gives it away as being reformed.

I think he figured she had been sufficiently humbled and wouldn't pull that crap again. Telling Hoke, at least at that very moment, would have just sown distrust. Maybe he says something later, but since Hoke showed his honesty, there was really no need to bring it up unless there was some new accusation.
People used to operate that way, they still do...watch the news, who do you see being arrested? wall street bankers or some black kid who ran from the Police?
Although Boolie was kind of a self-indulgent Mama's boy, I pitied him. His mother was nothing but a shameless, petulant old crone. Nothing was ever her fault or her problem. She never took the time to acknowledge the frustration she put him through. Morgan Freeman's character made this movie likeable
No, Hoke put the new can in the pantry. Boolie left with the old empty can that his mother thrust in his hands - no doubt expecting Boolie to be a good boy and put it in the bin for her.

I loved the dramatic music when she showed her son the "stolen" can of salmon.😂😂😂😂😂

There was once a time when movies were made with real acting.

Your can tell this story takes place eons ago.
Seriously, 33 cents for can of salmon ?!🤣🤣🤣🤣
1948 and that was expensive
@@bress9598 prices from then to now are approximately 10x higher so a 33 cents can would be about $3.30 today
