Ironically the plot and ideation of this movie has been the subject of debate for years; having supposedly gained inspiration from the 1989 Quantum Leap "Color of Truth" episode [kind of hard considering it came out prior to this movie, although similar (way more genuine, uncensored and moving) ; then there's Alfred Uhlrey's real inspiration of the same name of his mother and her chauffer (which is far more likely) Be that as it may this played out it's plot carefully and was very good at sugarcoating all the issues that were trying to be addressed at the time (i.e. racism) it lacks sincerity and genuism. The only strong point's are the sincerity that Morgan Freeman put's into his character, displaying against all odds [sometimes bitting his tongue] his sincere love & care for Miss Daisy.
