The experience of reading "Green Book": It is naturally reminiscent of "To Kill a Mockingbird" Liskoot said: "I think there is only one kind of person in the world, and that is human." Of course, this is only The idea of ​​a nine-year-old may fade as she grows older, understands and integrates into the adult world. After all, in real society, people are conventionally divided into three, six, nine, and so on. There are various criteria for classification, ranging from macro to micro. It can be your skin color, nationality, beliefs, your wealth and power status, or even your lifestyle, social style, occupational sexual orientation, etc. Anyway, as long as there is a collective that needs to coexist with people, whether it is a work organization or a family organization, as long as there are individual differences, then of course there are differences between people and people, and of course they must be classified into categories and levels. There are countless people and countless chains of contempt in the world. Although you are safe and secure, and you have never posed a threat to others or affected their lives, you have accidentally stayed in a relatively small group, or you are unfortunately at the end of the chain of contempt, or just It's your behavior that doesn't meet the public's expectations, and maybe you're going to face injustice. Although this is truly unjustified injustice. There is another sentence in To Kill a Mockingbird that strikes me: As long as he is given the slightest chance, he will exercise his regal privilege, he will arrange, advise, exhort, and warn. Some adjectives come to mind: whispering, finger pointing, chattering, bitterness. Those words alone are exhausting and tiresome. Tony's approach to these annoyances in the film is a good one, when the pianist wants him to speak more gracefully , in order to better echo the so-called "high-class people", Tony's reaction was (what I summed up): go to TM, what they want to say and say, I can do whatever I like, and I don't know them well anyway.

    The film explores how ethnicity is defined by skin color, class, culture, nationality, etc. in various contexts? The setting of the two protagonists transcends stereotype as an aesthetic representation. Blacks are not working lower-class blacks, but pianists who enter the house; Tony's complexion is white, originally us in us vs them, but because he has the alterity of lower-class people , so his ethnicity was highlighted - Italian. And we look at white people without skin color (and their various discriminatory actions) from the perspective of two protagonists with racial characteristics, who are in a sense racial. Because of the invention of race, it is more to serve the day-to-day operations of more hidden cultural practices (piano, jazz, bars, KFC) and political discourse (the fuse of conflict). This film subverts the norm, extends the issue of raciality to everyone to a certain extent, and also points out the mimesis nature of discriminatory discourse. But the filming is too skillful, and the ending of "What a Wonderful Life" is regrettable. A story that can only happen in the United States once again ends with an American-style multiple ending.

    I like the sentence that Uncle Wei wrote to his wife "you remind of a house a house with beautiful full lights on it where everyone happy inside" "Sometimes you remind of a house a house with beautiful full lights on it where everyone happy inside" The house of laughter" The gentle love letter of a rough man is nothing more than this
