Is the Green Book really that good?

"Green Book" became a hit after winning the award, and many people recommended it.

But is Green Book really that good?

Well, I'm just the naysayer.

This movie is still the setting of the white savior, and it is the white people who help, educate, and accept the black people. This white man is very poor, discriminates against black people, and has low quality. He likes petty theft and littering everywhere, but it does not prevent him from leading his highly educated black brothers to the South Exit, and he is invincible. Not only that, the white people also taught the black people to eat fried chicken, appreciate black music, walked into the black community, and successfully dragged the black brothers from the clouds back to the ground. Black audiences will be pissed when they see it. but, who cares? People are just trying to please white people.

So, this is a movie that looks politically correct but is actually politically incorrect. The film uses warmth and humor to dissolve racial conflicts and whitewash peace. In the movie, the two became lifelong best friends. The implication is that no matter how poor or low the white people are, they are also the objects of learning for the black people of Niu B's life. The face is that the black descendants said in an interview, bullshit, the two are just a short-term employment relationship.

We love this movie, maybe because watching the fire from the other side, there is no real pain. If the white people are replaced by the second generation of poor officials or the second generation of poor rich, and the blacks are replaced by rural Phoenix men, haha, the consequences are unimaginable...

Finally, it is necessary to have a positive energy, the Chinese have saved the earth, and the Americans are still the white saviors, out!
