"Green Book" is a great and film that really speaks volumes and sends a message of love, caring, and friendship. It proves that thru bonding that prejudice and racism can be challenged and fought against. The film which was well directed by Peter Farrelly("Dumb and Dumber") is based on the true story of black classic concert pianist Dr. Shirley(in a super performance from Mahershala Ali) and his travels thru the deep south for concert work during the turbulent times of the 1960's. And shown is the work of his sidekick and go along travel partner and driver Tony Lip(in a well rounded and blended take from Viggo Mortensen) who as an Italian American bouncer learns life and forms the friendship of a lifetime.
The film really captures the times of the 1960's well with it's scenes of the automobile types and the food products, diners, and gas stations. Most of all the way it portrays the times and the people of the south is spot on with racism and prejudice. Shown are the moments Dr. Shirley faces of not being served with whites at fine restaurants and his not being treated well at a clothing story. Plus the police treat him and Tony both different as arrest are made of both on their journey trip adventure of human growth and developing friendship.
Overall excellent film that should bring up thought and conversation to want to change people's views and outlook on race, class, and life as we still occupy a troubled age. This film sends a message to love and live life thru connection as on one's journey friendship is possible as no matter the color of skin or how different that of a background love defeats prejudice and racism.
