My favorite movie is Green Book, which tells the story of 1962 in the United States. A black pianist named Don Sherry hired a white gangman named Tony as a driver to drive all the way to the south for a music tour.This is the brilliant point of the film. It uses a relatively relaxed road film to complete the serious topic of equal rights for black people. As the conflict escalates step by step, there are many hilarious scenes of friction, and it turns the serious racism into a high-level comedy film.
Black pianist Don Shirley gave up his comfortable life in New York to tour the South in order to sow the seeds of racial equality. As his fellow musicians put it, “It is not enough to be a genius. It takes courage to change hearts.”Don plays the Steinway every time he asks for it, for no other reason than respect.Tang as a black, despite good family education, the skill of itself is a famous artist, but had to play in every time when playing classical music appreciation taste, to cater to the whites are still endured the coldly and unfair treatment of others, and his own culture and make him the unjust under restraint and forbear, believe dignity can overcome violence.In addition to race, there is Don’s sexual orientation, all prejudice is based on ignorance, the world is complex and colorful, respect for everyone’s differences, regardless of color, race, sexual orientation, respect for human equality.
One is not white enough, the other is not black enough, which happens to be the beginning of their mutual understanding.As they get along with each other every day, their personalities gradually change. Tony loses his prejudice, Don loses his stubbornness, and people of different skin tones coexist as equals. Tony becomes no longer irritable because of Tang’s grace, and Don no longer lonely because of Tony’s frankness.I hope we can meet such friends in our life, who will bring us warmth and affection.
