"Green Book" has a very neat script development. In the eyes of Americans, racial discrimination has always been a pain in the hearts of many people. If it is not told, it will not be understood by others.
Tony started discriminating against black people because he was like most white people but he wasn't as noble and pretentious as them, he had his own rules and fought against them, and finally accepted them and changed his mind
"If I'm not black enough, not white enough, not even manly enough, then what am I supposed to be" is the essence of the sentence. In such a high society, people will not respect black people. After a black person performs brilliantly on stage, he is still black and will still be treated differently, even if he has the same noble status and power as white people.
The portrayal of the doctor is very comprehensive, and his doctor is very clear about his identity, so he chose to go south to perform, rather than perform for those pretentious upper-class people who think they are noble. He doesn't go where he rejects himself because he has dignity and is not resolved with violence. He's also gay, which adds an extra layer of color to the character.
There are many fine details in the film, which are memorable.
For example, Tony stole jade before. Although he was ordered to put it back, jade still appeared in one scene, proving that he still likes petty theft in the front. bedding,
In the same way, Tony lied to others that he had a gun when he was saving the Doctor, but it didn't appear in that scene, we thought he didn't actually have it, but Tony still held the gun to scare the thief away. This shows that he is actually very smart and didn't play cards according to the routine.
"Green Book" was a great success at the 91st Oscars, and indeed, its strength is here, and it has made a deeper discussion on racial issues and discrimination.
Dignity always trumps race, we can be discriminated against, but we still have dignity, which they don't get. People tend to take advantage of money, servile, discriminate against others, and think they are superior, but it's not much better. Dignity can transcend the species, it can bring you the supreme status.
In one scene, Tony beats the Doctor for being displeased with the police and his insults, but the Doctor later says violence won't solve the problem. He has endured it all his life, can't these few words be endured? In fact, here, I think the words of the police have gone beyond the acceptable range. Insulting others, regardless of their status, is worth pointing out. People often say that they are treated rationally, but personal insults cannot be used as a reason to shrink their hands and seek peace. This method is beyond the acceptable range of dignity. Besides, after a few punches, you will be locked in the prison and will not be released. It is a bit of a big deal. This is indeed to shape the character of Tony who is unyielding to humiliation, but it is still a bit over-differentiated, and it is a relatively small error handling (only personal opinion, don't spray if you don't like it)
The story development of the whole film is actually not very prominent, and the dramatic tension has always been racial discrimination, and there is no other type of diversity, which leads to the fact that the storytelling is actually relatively mediocre. But fortunately, we have worked hard on the discussion, and finally we can empathize with it.
Some say the film won an Oscar for its political correctness. It's politically correct, but an excellent film can capture these and even current social issues in a generous way, and the thought and effort are made not only to make everyone accept it, but also to make us Knowing that there was a period of time in the past when the contradictions between blacks and whites existed, allows us to remember the past and do better for the future. So this film is not only excellent in the film itself, but more importantly in the meaning it brings to people
