Green Book

Loved watching this movie

Recommended by a friend. Had no previous knowledge of this musician. Topics touched were thought provoking

This movie is, simply put, beyond Oscar worthy. It is HUMANE worthy. It is a significant history lesson, a personal story on both sides of grasping with what is acceptable and who you are and how far you are willing to go to be truly YOU. Maheshala Ali is a flawless actor, but in Green Book he gives us his soul performance. You cant fake that. He is as pure as a character actor can get. I almost didnt recognize Vigo Mortensen, but fell in love with his caricature of the Italian mob stereotype which he played on for purpose in the role of his character. Two more atypical and diverse characters you could not have put together. Their scenes together are raw and smooth at once. The supporting cast really are the foundation of the two characters and deserve as much accolade as the stars. Im usually not into emotion driven movies but movies like this and Moonlight are just too alluring not to get captured by and held riveted to the significant power of it. All those awards were more than deserved. In fact it should have been a clean sweep. It WAS the best movie of 2018 with the best of everything it entailed. I am so in love with this movie.

This movie is quite the history lesson, something good to learn about how the South treated people of color very differently, before our current Southern states succeed in “white washing” black history!

Green Book won the Oscar for Best Film, as well it should. This is a film for all, and for all of us to look back once again on how we treat our people of color. It will bring tears, but also laughs and smiles. Viggo Mortenson and Mahershala Ali star in this film, and the company they keep is well worth the view. Ali plays Dr Don Shirley , the lead in a trio, playing in the Deep South, Mortensen plays Tony Liip, a Brooklyn born and bred boy, who is hustler and has become the driver for Dr Shirley. His job is to drive and make sure all goes well. They run into many road blocks, and the history of the south comes to the fore. This is an amazing film full of history, it is a true story, and it is exactly what we need at this time in our history. Highly Recommended. prisrob 03-12-19
