How Mahershala Ali Schools Viggo Mortensen in Green Book Anatomy of a Scene

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
In the 1962-set Green Book, based on a true story, Viggo Mortensen plays a nightclub bouncer named Tony Lip. Hes hired to drive a concert pianist, Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali) on tour in the South. Tonys street style clashes with Dons refined nature throughout the film and in this scene, in which the two have stopped at a convenience store. The director Peter Farrelly narrates the conflict that ensues when Tony takes a jade stone he found on the ground in front of a box of the same stones for sale. Farrelly comments on the father-son nature of the relationship that the two forge, with Don teaching Tony life lessons of right and wrong.

Loved the movie, felt sad how people were and are very disrespectful to one another. The story was very powerful. The thing that made it distasteful was all the fowl language. Movies don't need this kind of language to make them popular. I'm glad we saw the movie however, had we known what the language was going to be like we would not have seen it. I guess that's the reason a lot of people don't see movies anymore.

Sorry, this is not realistic for the South in the 1960s. A black man ordering a grown white man around would have attracted the wrong kind of attention. The kind neither would have welcomed. This is just the reality of those times with no judgment implied.

For Bitcoin pay less than 3000, the price falls. Manage to save a couple of your bucks. The pyramid collapsed.
The advertising of the star and Obama did not help, they got dollars for it.

LOL! NYT and NPR are so ossified and stuck in this silly narrative where they think they have some moral high ground about race. Christ you people sound like fossils.

Just saw this film today. Loved it. The best one I've seen all year. Funny, sad, and also heartwarming. Go see it, you won't regret it.
