Have you ever seen people divided into three, six, nine and so on by their academic qualifications, but have you ever seen people divided into noble and slave by skin color?
In November 2018, a movie called "Green Book" was released, and when I only saw the name of the movie, I couldn't help but wonder how a good movie would have a Green Book name.
And I can't even see what the subject is, why isn't it called the "Orange Book" or the "Red Book"?But it would be too superficial to think so, in fact, this "green book" is precisely the name that best reflects the center of the film.
And this movie is based on real events, and it is loved by the audience, so what is it good about?
We move back in time to 1965 in the United States, when the idea of racial discrimination was deeply planted in the minds of most peopleNot to mention that blacks and whites can't get married, even blacks in many public places don't have the right to enter.
In this film, we can see not only the situation in the United States at that time, but also the quietly changing hearts of the people in the film, where there are two protagonists who attract everyone's attention at the beginning of the film on a fast-moving road, that is, a white driver and a black pianist.
For this black pianist Don, he is in an awkward position, why do you say that?For example, a white colleague can talk freely with people of the same race, but he is alone in the workplace.
When he went to the black hotel, he seemed overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of others, and it would be good if he knew his position, but it was clear that he didn't even know which one to fit in, so he was very lonely.
And that white driver, Tony, also had strong racism beforeTwo black repairmen had gone to his house to fix things, and after a busy time, his wife poured two glasses of water for them.
But as soon as people drank it and went out, he threw the used water cup into the trash can with great disdain, which shows that Tony's heart is extremely discriminatory against black people.
Initially, Tony worked in a bar, but he was more grumpyAfter a big fight with a customer, and he lost his job, after a fumbling session, a friend introduced him to a job.
That is a pianist looking for a driver, he is very happy to go to the interview, only to find out that the boss is black, and he is going to tour the southIt is the place where racial discrimination is most severe in the whole country.
So on the one hand, it is to hope to gain the respect of others in this way, and on the other hand, because when Don was recruiting drivers, he heard many people mention Tony's name, because Tony is because of his short temper and dares to say and do, and his ability to solve troubles is also very strong.
Tony doesn't care so much, although he has a strong racial discrimination, but he has such a high-paying jobIt's relatively easy, so why not?
So the combination of a black pianist and a white driver was formed, and at the same time, everyone saw a more stark gap, saying that white people were noble, but Tony always spat fragrantly, saying that black people were inferior, but Tang's demeanor was full of elegance.
The difference in their races and personalities also makes the film provide a strong point of view, and both of them have a great opinion of the enemy at the beginning, but they will solve the trouble for the other party.
Before leaving, the butler gave Tony a green book that recorded the hotels where blacks could stay, and at that time it was impossible for blacks to move without this book.
Before he got there, Don began to tell the driver, Tony, what brand he wanted for the show, and a bottle of whiskey every nightAlthough it sounds very contrived, this may be the only way that the lonely Don can numb himself.
And Tony was obviously absent-minded, stuffing fried chicken legs into his mouth, while casually taking notes on Don's request, and then starting to smoke in the car, all of which made Don very unacceptable.
And Tony also gave his fried chicken to Don, originally Don didn't want to eat it, but under Tony's repeated assurances, he cocked his orchid fingers and ate it in small bitesAfter eating, Tony was asked what to do with the bones after eating, and Tony opened the window and threw them out.
Don also imitates Tony throwing the bones out, which makes Don feel more relaxed than ever, and after arriving at the place, Don tells Tony to pay attention to his words, because the people here are noble people, but Tony is very disdainful.
even thought that Tang was making trouble for himself, and then Tang played as much as he wanted on stage, in exchange for the applause of all the audience in the audience, among them is Tony who is hiding behind the scenes, but after Don's performance, he finds Tony kneeling on the ground and gambling with several people.
So he told Tony that this was not the right way, but Tony said that everyone was like this, and then Don said, "Because they can't decide their own fate, you can", which must have made Tony a little moved.
Unconsciously, the perception between the two also seems to have changedIn a letter written for his wife, Tony talks about his evaluation of Don, who he thinks is a genius, but a genius with a sad face.
When Tony arrives at the second venue, he discovers that the people there have only prepared a tattered piano for Don, and when asked they say that black people are only worthy of this, Tony is furious and uses his fist to help Don get his old treatment back.
However, as the southward movement deepened, the racial discrimination became more and more obvious, The two of them can't rest in the same hotel, and Don is back to a lonely state again, obviously there is a lot of excitement around him, but he is still lonely in his heart.
The rare indulgence of Don gets drunk at the bar, but is besieged and provoked by several white men, and Tony directly uses force again to beat them away after seeing it, and Don also discovers that sometimes force is indeed more important than reason.
So Don, who was originally passable, gradually gained his own consciousness under the influence of Tony, If he dared to deny them what he didn't want to do, Tony began to stop being confused, and the two began to transform in getting along.
Two different people, they originally had different lives, but because of this opportunity, they came togetherFrom mutual dislike to finally breaking prejudice and becoming best friends, this is a true and natural story.
There is nothing special about the synopsis of the film aloneOnly after an in-depth understanding of this film will you find that the plot obviously does not have an exaggerated rendering atmosphere, but it gives people a kind of warmth that flows through the water.
No one can decide what kind of starting point everyone will have after birth, and the only thing that can change their situation is not others, and a large part of it has to rely on themselves, who is much more noble than whom, everyone is the protagonist in their own life script.
