Steel Magnolias Analysis

Although “Steel Magnolias” was made in 1989 it is personally my favorite chick flick. Possibly because my mother and grandmother watched it way too many times when I was young. "Steel Magnolias" is about the close knit relationships between six ordinary Southern women that are living in a small town in Louisiana. The actors and actresses bring the story line alive with their snappy attitudes and funny dialog. Throughout the film the setting sets a mood that can be hilarious or tragic. But just by the setting you are able to tell what the mood is. For example in the beauty parlor there is humor but in the hospital or the grave site after Shelby’s death there is a tragic mood that was set by the setting. “Steel Magnolias” is a wonderful film
