Green Book
2018 Biography comedy-drama
130 minutes Cert PG13
Green Book is a 2018 American biographical comedy-drama. Set in 1962, the film is inspired by the true story of a tour of the Deep South by African American classical and jazz pianist Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali) and Italian American bouncer Frank 'Tony Lip' Vallelonga (Viggo Mortensen) who served as Shirley's driver and bodyguard.
Although hardly enthused at working for a black man, Tony accepts the job and they begin their trek armed withThe Negro Motorist Green Book, a travel guide for safe travel through America's racial segregation. Together,the snobbishly erudite pianist and the crudely practical bouncer can barely get along with their clashing attitudes to life and ideals. However, throughout the journey, Don helps Tony write letters to his wife, correctly spelling and rephrasing passgaes which deeply move her. Tony encourages Don to get in touch with his own estranged brother, but Don is hesitant, observing that he has become isolated by his professional life and achievements. As the disparate pair witness and endure America's appalling injustices on the road, they find a new found respect for each other's talents and start to face them together. In doing so, they would nuture a friendship and understanding that would change both their lives.
The attendance at Friday's film ' On the Basis of Sex' was disappointing and I wonder whether the title put people off! The film should really have been titled ' On the Basis of Gender' which would have given the correct clue as to what this film was all about.
It was an excellent, thought provoking film exploring the struggle for recognition for women in America based on a true story. Ruth Bader-Ginsburg used the case of sex discrimination against a male to revolutionise the American Justice System.
