Synopsis

Driving Miss Daisy is a story about an elderly Jewish widow living in Atlanta who can no longer drive. Her son insists she allow him to hire a driver, which in the 1950s meant a black man. She resists any change in her life but, Hoke, the driver, is hired by her son. She refuses to allow him to drive her anywhere at first, but Hoke slowly wins her over with his native good graces. The movie is directly taken from a stage play and does show it. It covers over twenty years of the pair's life together as they slowly build a relationship that transcends their differences.

I found the soundtrack of Driving Miss Daisy to be lacking in emotional depth and diversity. The music seemed repetitive and did not effectively capture the complexity of the characters' relationships and the passage of time.

The score of Driving Miss Daisy felt uninspired and generic to me. It failed to enhance the storytelling or create a memorable atmosphere that would elevate the emotional impact of the film. The music did not leave a lasting impression and felt like an afterthought in the overall viewing experience.

The use of period-appropriate music in Driving Miss Daisy effectively transports the audience to the 1950s setting, immersing us in the atmosphere of the time. The soundtrack not only sets the tone for the film but also serves as a powerful narrative device, enhancing the emotional impact of key moments and underscoring the themes of friendship, acceptance, and understanding that lie at the heart of the story.
