Real friendship and true respect

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2018)

The movie Green Book directed by Peter Farrelly (director of 2 of my favorite fun movies there's something about Mary & Dumb and Dumber) is excellent. Writer Nick Vallelonga wrote about his father Tony Lip acted by Virgo Mortensen (Captain Fantastic , Perfect Murder, History of Violence) and his African American pianist boss Dr Donald Shirley , acted by Mahershala Ali (from Moonlight). When Tony's wife Dolores acted by Linda Cardellini (a simple favor, Mad men) is told by Tony that his job offer is from a colored man, Dolores reacts very well in a manner only a wife who understands and knows her husband well does. Dolores enjoys all love letters written by Tony while he is away driving Doc from one southern state to another to keep up with concert schedule. The screenplay is terrific. Excellent acting. Love and respect among all characters is very touching. Tony and Doc , both very true to their basic nature, are awe inspiring. Great story. Excellent Direction. Superb editing. Definitely Oscar worthy. Virgo Mortensen is perfect . Linda Cardellini is great in supporting role. Great movie.
