Great, but I have seen it before...

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2019)

I liked Green Book a lot, it is clearly well made and I had a good time watching it. But I felt I've watched this before because it has far too many similarities with "The Untouchables", a French film from 2011 that I loved. It is simply the same story but in a different context: two men from opposites worlds that meet each other because of working motivations, that become friends enriching themselves and growing through the film. Also the alternation between the humor and some touching moment is very similar between the two movies. The fact that "The Untouchables" was so surprising and great at the time is a clue that even this "younger cousin" will be that for the ones who will watch it for the first time. But if you watched both you will probably feel like "I've already seen it" at the end of it.
