I love the acting of both Viggo and Mahershala. The chemistry between both is one of the things that makes the movie work.
(EN)🇬🇧 Winner of the Oscar for best film in 2018 and my favorite Road movie “Green Book” which is based on a true story, and well, what's up with that title? What do you want to tell us? Tony Lip, a tough man, will be hired as a driver for a famous black pianist named Don Shirley, where he will have to take him to different parts of the southern United States, on a tour to give his concerts...and well, you already know that in In the 60s, racism was the order of the day among people of color and that is where the title of the film will make sense. Our protagonists will carry a book to know where black people can stay, park and so on depending on which city or city. region pass. But Tony Lip, apart from being his driver, will be in charge of protecting him, and although everything I have told you so far is terrible and dramatic, the film is comical and has really funny moments, in addition to not constantly wallowing in drama. , and the role of both is very well distributed, since the film is above all about the friendship that is forged between them and their contrasts.... As the musician is more neat, cultured and educated, on the other hand, Tony is a neighborhood poor, rude but very clever, where one learns from the other. What the film has to say is what it does and when it is funny too, in general it has a perfect balance to be seen as a comedy-drama with that prism of being in the 60s in the United States. (ES)🇪🇸 Ganadora del Oscar a mejor película en 2018 y mi Road movie favorita “Green Book” que está basada en una historia real, y bueno, ¿qué onda con ese título? ¿Qué quieres decirnos? Tony Lip, un hombre duro, será contratado como chófer de un famoso pianista negro llamado Don Shirley, donde tendrá que llevarlo a diferentes puntos del sur de Estados Unidos, en una gira para dar sus conciertos...y bueno Ya sabéis que en los años 60 el racismo estaba a la orden del día entre la gente de color y es ahí donde el título de la película cobrará sentido. Nuestros protagonistas llevarán un libro para saber dónde pueden alojarse los negros, aparcar y demás según en qué ciudad o ciudad. pase de región. Pero Tony Lip, además de ser su conductor, será el encargado de protegerlo, y aunque todo lo que os he contado hasta ahora es terrible y dramático, la película es cómica y tiene momentos realmente divertidos, además de no revolcarse constantemente en el drama. . , y el papel de ambos está muy bien repartido, ya que la película trata sobre todo de la amistad que se forja entre ellos y de sus contrastes.... Como el músico es más pulcro, culto y educado, en cambio Tony es Un barrio pobre, grosero pero muy inteligente, donde uno aprende del otro. La película lo que tiene que decir es lo que hace y cuando es divertida también, en general tiene un equilibrio perfecto para ser vista como una comedia dramática con ese prisma de estar en los años 60 en Estados Unidos.
Is about, two men from different walks of life bond, during an attempt to chip away at the long standing tradition of prejudice held towards black people in the deep south. Green Book is an exceptional road trip movie that really pulled me in by the strong relationships that develop between the main characters Dr. Shirley played by Mahershala Ali, and Tony played by Viggo Mortensen. It is so compelling to see how each of them learn about what makes each other tick, which is reflected in the inevitable conflict they encounter while traveling in the the pre-civil rights era south. The visuals and cinematography in the film were phenomenal, and the cities were beautifully presented in a 1960s style. Overall, the film is a wholesome Movie with dynamic drama scenes , and even tho the end does get a little predictable, I still enjoyed it because of how heart warming it was. ★★★★½ - masterpiece/perfection (9/10)l
Green Book, starring Viggo Mortensen, Mahershala Ali and Linda Cardellini, showcases the incredible acting talents of its ensemble, particularly our two protagonists. The film adeptly employs various techniques to delve into the complexities of racism, presenting intriguing scenarios that provoke thoughtful reflection. Through the brilliant use of juxtaposition and well written humour Green Book examines racism and prejudices, highlighting the similarities and differences between two seemingly disparate characters. While nearly perfect, a few scenes that were slightly on the nose and a brief drag in the second act hinder it from absolute perfection. Nonetheless, it remains a powerful and compelling exploration of important themes.
