When it comes to friendship, race matters

I just read "Green Book" a few days ago, and then came back and watched "Driving for Miss Daisy" again. In fact, the two films are just opposite in terms of character settings, that is, the conversion of the status and identity of black and white people. In fact, the heroine Daisy in "Driving for Miss Daisy" is also "half black" (Jews who are discriminated against by other whites). A tragic sight" has already been explained, but the friendship between the two has long since transcended the issue of race.

Daisy takes Hawke's hand

Comparatively speaking, the story of "Green Book" is stronger, and the exchange of the status of black and white people has produced a more brilliant effect, but the superb acting skills of the two veteran actors in "Driving for Miss Daisy" Make the script more tense, and let the plain narrative hit the heart step by step in a straightforward way, how can people not be moved?
