Green Book

Heart wrenching and a perfect movie to watch with a friend.

GREAT SCRIPT WRITING!!! When a movie can make a person laugh and cry it deserves an “Academy Award!” And this movie won an AA! But, Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali should have won “Best Actor” academy awards! Bad on Hollywood’s part. Viggo played an excellent character part as an uneducated Italian-American and Mahershala played a excellent Virtuoso Pianist. I’m an author, singer, songwriter and future scriptwriter and, this movie touched my heart! It was funny from the start to the finish and in between made me cry because of racism and real life situations/circumstances. If you want to get out of the Covid-19 pandemic blues and LAUGH your guts out because, laughing is healing, WATCH THIS MOVIE!!! I bought this movie 7/6/2021 and have watched it 20 times now and gonna watch it the rest of the year. Because I personally NEED to LAUGH. This pandemic has been murderous to say the least! So everyone should rent or buy this great movie and watch it. It makes me laugh more than it makes me cry. This movie should have won 5 Academy Awards! Shame on you Hollywood. But, thank you for a great movie. I want to thank Nick Vallelonga for exposing his families private life as well as the script writer who should have won an Academy Award for best script/screenwriter and the director. I give this movie a 10 Star Rating!!!!!!!!!! RB, Santa Cruz, CA

Good plot, good filming, good acting, just good all around.

The DVD played fine without any skips. However, there were two or three places in the DVD where there were light inconsistencies regarding reflections on the windshield and light shining around the characters heads which I do not remember when watching it when it aired on cable. Why was this a copy made in Mexico? I thought that the DVD was US made.

This is a poignant story relating the discrimination African Americans faced in the South before civil rights acts happened. A talented Black piano player goes on a concert tour of the South being totally accepted as a talented performer by the upper white class but not allowed partake of the same kind of daily life like eating at a whites only restaurant or staying in a whites only hotel, and sadly not even being able to use indoor white only restrooms. Along this journey he is accompanied by his driver who is lower class white from a poor neighborhood in NYC. Its a journey of life for these two and it makes for quite the story. Theres sadness and humor in their journey and lessons are learned by both men. Its thoroughly entertaining and extremely well acted. I believe this movie got many Oscars nominations including a nod for best picture. Its a great movie in my opinion.

I was aware of the Green Book, however the movie puts in real life perspective of how horrible the experience was for those restricted to certain motels and restaurants. Dr. Shirley, who was highly educated, did not receive the professionalism he deserved. I HIGHLY recommend this movie.

Great movie, a lot of historical content. Loved that it is based on a true story.

An inspiring true story Shares a period in US history well worth being aware of. Accomplished with exceptional acting and story line.

Amazing actors and based on real people.

Based on real people and events, love this movie, its funny, serious and entertaining account of historical events and has a disney ending.
