An Epic truly special film

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2019)

This film has been gaining a ton of buzz especially with Oscar season coming around so I had to see Green Book and this is one of my favourite films over the last few years. The Premise of the film is set in the 1960's and sees and Italian - American Man become a driver for a Black Piano Player as he travels the deep south of America. Viggo Mortensen plays the lead in this film, he is totally brilliant in this film, This smooth talking guy is so fun to watch with that everyday charm about him that makes him totally relatable to us the audience as he tries to help this rich man. He will definitley be a frontrunner for the Oscar which is great to see as I haven't seen Mortensen in that much recently. Mahershala Ali is absolutley brilliant in thsi film, his character arc in this film is truly important to watch, seeing these two guys learning from each other is truly fascinating to watch. He gives a really powerful performance that in my opinion will give him the Oscar this year. The rest of the supporting cast all fit their roles very well and immerse you into the story that you are watching. The story sees these two very different people go on an emotional journey of deiscovery dealing with some heavy issues and build a truly great story. It is a bit predictable but I believe that actually worked for this film. The script is actually pretty hilarious with a lot of funny moments that really worked for this film. But when the drama is needed it delivers some truly amazing moments in this film. The style is great, I wasn't bored once in this film and I loved seeing the different parts of America and how they react to this situation. Overall this is a film you must see to appreciate and is definitley going to be up there for my best movies of the year.
