If a friend or classmate asks me to recommend any of the best Oscar films in recent years, I will not hesitate to give them Amway "Green Book". The film was the best picture at the 91st Academy Awards.
I have watched this movie 4 times, and it has been almost a year since the movie was released in mainland China. I still cannot forget the plot of the movie after watching it over and over again. So, I'm going to write about what I thought, felt about the Green Book and the details of the film.
The story of "Green Book" took place in 1962. In that year, the United States was an era of white supremacy. All social strata discriminated against blacks. The rights and interests of blacks were not guaranteed. The title of the film is the key clue of the film, and the Green Book was a guide for black people at that time, which included hotels and restaurants that black people could enter. In fact, it is equivalent to restricting the personal freedom of black people, and it is used many times in the film. It is against this background that the film unfolds.
"Green Book" tells the story of Tony (Hugo Mortens), a gangster who, by accident, got a new job because the nightclub he worked in was closed and he was in desperate need of money. Don. Shelley's (Mahershala Ali) black pianist drives, and Don Shelly decides to hire Tony. Don Shelly's trip required a tour all the way south, until the end of the tour in Birmingham, Alabama (the most racist area). Only when the journey goes smoothly, does not delay each stop of the piano tour, and ensures Tang's safety, can he truly complete the task and get paid.
Inventory of "Green Book" five details or more esoteric
1. In the film, the ideological change of the characters is an important part. Tony is a racist. If it is not to support his family, his heart refuses the job. And Shelly is a high-level person. When they first set off, the two kept arguing. After several incidents, the two became acquainted and talked about everything. When Shelly put down his body and went to talk to him When Tony was a friend, Tony stopped discriminating against blacks and did his best to protect him.
I don't know if you have noticed that Tony and Don are complementary friends. Tony has a perfect big family. Don't look at him as a very bad little bastard. He loves this family and his wife, and Shelly is the only one. His family is a younger brother who has not been in contact with him for a long time. He is always alone. He has no family and can no longer feel the affection. When the trip was interrupted, when Tony's two Italian friends wanted to introduce himself to work, Tang couldn't understand what they were in. What to say, so at night when Tony was going to meet, he stopped Tony, and Shelly thought Tony was going to do the job they offered. At this time, it shows that Shelly wants to be friends with Tony because he feels the warmth of family. He didn't want this friend to leave him, and it's good that Tony really just went to the bar and turned them down.
2. This is a comedy. There are many laughs that make this journey fun. I think the best laugh of the whole movie is that the two eat KFC fried chicken in Kentucky. Tony picks up the fried chicken and puts it in his mouth. Especially wild, when Tony Xiang shared the fried chicken with Shelly, Shelly hesitated, and when he took the fried chicken carefully, Shelly didn't dare to bite down, for fear of soiling his clothes and the blanket covering his lap , but under the temptation of Tony, Shelly ate one bite after another, and then asked for another piece. The two rolled the car window. At this time, Tang had let go of his nature, and the two threw the chicken bones outside. The performance amused me.
3. Compared to Tony, his wife Dolores is not racist. When two black repairmen were at their house, Tony stole the cup that Dolores poured water for the two blacks into the trash can , think about it, in a family that is not rich in itself, Tony also treats black people
The used cup was thrown away, showing how much Tony hated black people at the beginning.
4. Tony rescued Don many times. Shelley went to the bar to drink alone. Several white men beat him. One of the trio told Tony that Tony resolved the crisis and rescued Don. The second time Shelley was seen as gay in the pool, Tony bribed the police with money, and the police stopped.
They had an argument over bribing the police with money, which is after detail 1, Shelley apologized for what he did
the climax of the film
5.
After many twists and turns, the two finally reached the finish line in Birmingham, where they could go home after the game. The person in charge here used the utility room as Shelly's lounge, and prohibited him and the audience to dine in the stylish restaurant. , At this time Shelly and the person in charge had a quarrel, at the last moment Tony made a choice and took Shelly out of the restaurant, they refused to perform, knowing that if they missed a show, Tony would not get a penny, However, Tony could not allow his friend to be treated unfairly and was determined not to budge.
Summarize:
Unknown at first until experience makes them who they are
Quarreling all the way, the long journey allows them to think quietly and face setbacks
the green pebble
Blue waves rippling, water hibiscus
always bring them good luck
like green pebbles brought them
One day, it will bring the cloud to light for American society
The legacy of history makes the gap of skin color insurmountable
But remove barriers and let go of prejudice
Hatred and hostility can coexist
Disputes and quarrels can also be shared
