** In the novel, George's two twin sons find themselves reminiscing at the ends of their lives: Artis remembers his youth as a popular ladies' man in a vibrant, exciting, black-centered Birmingham, while Jasper looks back on the hardships of a life spent in deference to white people, reflecting that the one thing that sustained him was his love for trains. Both the Birmingham of Artis's youth and the time of trains has long passed; both old men can find comfort only in their memories.

* PromotedToLoveInterest: In the film, Grady has a bit of a crush on Idgie, to the point that he's apparently asked her to marry him a couple times (though in fairness, he clowns it up a lot, meaning it might be an old gag between them). It's still an upgrade from the book, where none of Idgie's male friends, including Grady, ever regard her as anything but one of the boys.
