      Lonely people are afraid to take the first step

      When talking about this hit Oscar-winning film, the first thing that comes to mind is racism. Indeed, historical and political reasons make the issues explored in this film more complex and profound. But I want to talk about "Green Book" from an emotional point of view, because after reading it, my heart is filled with a kind of peace and warmth.

      Why is Green Book so good?

      In the 91st Oscar selection, "Green Book" won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay. Although the racial discrimination and road movies presented in the film are not uncommon, the viewing experience is still quite good. Not only will he not have any thoughts of leaving, but he is also firmly attracted by the film, looking forward to the next plot. Therefore, I can't help but wonder: what did "Green Book" do right, so that it can achieve a good viewing experience on the...

      Your value determines your social status - the feeling of watching "Green Book"

      This year's Oscar's best film "Green Book", after watching it, I honestly think it's really good. In fact, the story is very simple, it is a white driver and a black musician, the employee drives the boss on the tour. However, due to the special background of the time in which the story takes place, it was the Kennedy administration period in the 1960s, and it was also the most intense period of conflict between racial discrimination and affirmative action in the United States. The...

      About Discrimination

      As a Chinese, I rarely experience so-called racial discrimination in China. To a certain extent, our regional discrimination and class discrimination can be brought up on the stage nakedly and clearly, or we can argue and discuss with each other. But racial discrimination, everyone knows that it is wrong, so no one will approve of it on the surface, but it will always embarrass you and harass you in some details, making you stick in your throat but cannot argue.

      I have always read...

      We can all be "Tang Shirley", but can we be "Tony"?

      The time when the Green Book was produced is very far away, but Tang Xueli's story is very recent.

      Tang Xueli, who was beaten outside and could only secretly wipe her tears when she returned to the hotel, and put on a black primer, does it look like you who were bullied among your classmates and hid in the bed and cried? Tang Xueli, who "has no access to the toilet" and can only "find a new way", doesn't she look like you who had to swallow your voice after being scorned in a foreign...

      The film can be summed up in one line from Don "If I'm not black enough, and if I'm not white enough, and if I'm not man enough, then tell me Tony, what am I?" The movie was a lot easier than I thought. But what is embarrassing is that now the whole world does not dare to discriminate against black people, so Asians are at the bottom of the discrimination chain,...

      High scores for the plot, high scores for the actors, high scores for restoring the instrumental sound of the era (very rare), and high scores for the realism of the era. Many people sprayed this work facing racial discrimination to force "political correctness", and the logic of this group of people is...

      nice. There are a lot of details that make people laugh, make people dumb, or echo before and after. The script is very solid. It has both the heavy theme of the big theme and the humor of the light comedy. The two are harmonious and complement each other. , is almost technically impeccable. Well acted, real and cute. The music goes well too. It's a movie that makes you feel...

    Movie plot

    The nightclub where Tony worked was closed for renovations, and a job was desperately needed. A friend suggested that he go to an interview conducted by a doctor of music in order to find a driver. When he arrived at the luxury apartment, he found that the doctor was a black classical music pianist named Tang. The pianist was in need of a driver to take care of the pick-up and drop-off work when he held his southern tour. Of course,...
