Lost in the no man's land between Spielberg/Disney and 'Midnight cowboy'

Rating: 6/10 (14 January 2020)

After seeing a thousand movies "Green book" feels a sympathetic road movie, but only comparing it with fantasy and scifi-trash that the film industry today consists of. It is an OK film with surprise ending that is not very surprising. Personally the idea of selecting Viggo Mortensen to play italian is controversial choice when his aspect is not full-blooded: the same issue was when he played (jewish) Sigmund Freud a couple years ago.
Maybe in 2018 there was no available "One flew over cuckoo's nest" or "Deer hunter" so the Oscar academy decided to celebrate "Green book" as best picture. I don't know. I have to check other candidates.
