The unexpected surprise in life is thinking that there will be a greenbook for the next movie

If you want to show a big topic in a movie, it's easy to be monotonous and boring. It's hard to define a person's identity. According to skin color, status, education, and other people's vision standards arrived

Don preached after Tony failed to control violence with violence: you never win with violence, but you win with dignity

But Don, who plays for 'high class' as a black-skinned man, is not allowed to share a toilet with white people. After the owner of a clothing store who knows that he is treated differently because of his skin color, he refuses his request to try on clothes. He still pretends to be calm and maintain his dignity. I can only vent my unnecessary changes through piano performance

Finally when he was invited to a manor that played for white people and wasn't allowed to dine in he was given two options either let me dine in or stop performing

It's good that Don and Tony made the same choice at this moment, I don't play, it's still violence against violence, just not physically violent but well done

They went to a black bar being the only white man in the bar watching Don playing the piano to his people Tony's eyes were filled with joy and pride This pride has nothing to do with skin color or status just because Tony thinks Don has found himself

The little details in Greenbook really elevate the tone of the whole film

Within two months of the couple's separation, Mrs. Tony asked him to write a letter. It's embarrassing for this uneducated man to say I can't write, okay? But he insisted on writing.

"I had a good sandwich for dinner and went to Don's concert, I didn't understand it, but I thought he was a genius"

"When I wrote to you, I was eating potato chips, and then I got thirsty..."

Don insisted on using his beautiful writing to teach Tony to write letters to his wife and Tony did as a child

That letter became a love letter that Mrs. Tony took out and read aloud at every party.

But on Christmas, Don unexpectedly showed up at Tony's house and his wife hugged Don and said thank you letter

Of course she knew that her husband didn't do that twice.

Although it takes courage to change people's hearts, no matter how hard you try you can't change

What our identity is does not need to be established by someone else What we are is what it is
