The first time I learned about Green Book was in 19 years, the rating was 9.8, the highest rating for the same period movie. Then, I watched "A Story Sadder Than Sad" with my fellow friends. At the end of the movie, that great love made me feel sad and sad, and I felt that my heart was out of breath.
But in fact, my heart has always wondered what the Green Book is and why it can be 9.8. The days still went on like this, until this year, because of the drama famine, I decided to go to see this drama.
To be honest, there is no imaginary excitement, from the beginning to the end, it is basically plain, all the way to the end. But after reading it, it seems that there are many things in my heart that are different. I guess that's what 9.8 is all about.
In the United States in the 60s, although it was after the Civil War, all kinds of inequality and discrimination still existed, especially in the South, and the story happened all the way south.
White Driver: Tony, a middle-aged man in a nightclub, has a big belly, steals and slips, has an "alternative intelligence" that can help solve many problems and troubles...
Black musician: Don Shirley, the man sitting on the throne, the famous black pianist, polite, likes to be quiet, dedicates himself to art...
Origin of the title of the film: The cover of the Green Book is green, and inside are places and passages (green passages) that blacks can pass and enter. Contains black-friendly restaurants, shops, hostels throughout the United States; and even notes that blacks are forbidden to spend their evening outdoors in cities and towns...
The film is full of racial discrimination, which makes people feel cold, but also makes people feel warm, because of the interesting things between the two people and the process of healing each other.
In order to tour the south, Black Pianist Don Shirley went everywhere to find a suitable "leader" to ensure his safety and the success of the performance. Tony was recommended to come to Don's house and look at the palatial residence, tony was envious, but his self-esteem could not make him accept: nanny-style services to other people, especially the other party was an arrogant black man. But it was difficult to walk without money, and for the sake of his family, he accepted this very dangerous job and began a journey south.
At first, he took revenge and ate the sandwich his wife had prepared for Tang. As he had done in the past, I thought he would soon be back home. A man who eats and smokes, talks foul language, and defecates on the side of the road, it's hard to imagine how he spent a long journey with a gentleman and became friends.
1. Good friends are the guides of life
At the end of the first concert, Tony gambles with other blacks to win money, and Don is furious when he finds him. It was said: they don't have a choice, inside, or outside, and you have to choose. This sentence made me shocked, and suddenly there was a different feeling in my heart, what kind of awakening in the world is this.
Most of us are like Tony, we have to live and live, every day is a day, to see how others live, we live how we live, work hard to make some money, solve the problem of food and clothing, and live every day to earn money. Going with the flow is our routine operation, and then we have spent our lives like this, never thinking, in the face of greater opportunities, to choose a better life.
2. Good friends help you correct mistakes
Tony Pulley, the name is hard to hear, "Pully" is called the mouth brother, he is always sophistry, and smug, he feels that it is an honorary name. So, he would pick up a rough stone in front of the gem stall and excuse himself, picking it up on the ground, not stealing it, and blaming others for being nosy.
But Don asked him to send it back, or pay for it. Past life experiences made Tony feel that he was taking advantage of himself and complacent, never felt that there was anything wrong with it, and was proud of it, but until he met Don. So, good friends are really important.
3. Good friends will be on your side
In order to continue the tour, and afraid that Tony would abandon him because of the higher salary, Don confessed his mistake, began to be very euphemistic, and even began to bribe Tony to add money to him, to give him the title of tour manager, and finally Don apologized for last night's events, and Tony also said: "This society is complicated", did not despise him because of his sexual orientation. This moment suddenly burst into tears, and it was really wonderful to meet someone who understood him.
4. Good friends make you better
From the beginning, I felt that Tony was really not a good person, and I took this good wife for nothing, but I slowly found that they were very affectionate. Tony would write letters to his wife, and although the grammar was a mess and many words could not be written, he would share what he saw and heard with his wife, even if it was all vernacular, but very sincere. There will also be a p.S. at the end: Take me to kiss the cute child.
When I think of you, I think of the beautiful plains of Iowa
The distance between us, the distance between us...
Without you, my time and experience would be meaningless.
Falling in love with you is the easiest thing I've ever done.
Nothing is more important to me than you.
Every day I live, I remember her in my heart.
The day I met you, I fell in love with you,
Today, I love you too, and I will love you the rest of my life
The first perfect letter was written by Don dictated and corrected pronunciation and grammar for Tony. Slowly, Tony will grow more and more, until finally, Tony will write his own love letters. At the end, you will find that good friendship makes everyone more and more beautiful.
In fact, I am very envious of the love in the play: willing to share, the wife's gentleness and understanding, the husband's responsibility and sincerity, it is really beautiful.
4. Good friends will take you through a different life
Slowly, Don starts eating fried chicken and throwing the bones on the road, but also by throwing the Coke Cup on the road, Tony returns to pick it up. Protecting nature with his own actions is like trying to reduce discrimination with his own actions.
The white man welcomed him warmly, but only let him go to the simple wooden toilet, and for convenience, Don wanted to go back to the hotel to go to the toilet. Tony felt that if it was him, he would have already given those people a punch, why did he look down on people so much. Why should he tolerate such a thing, he did not understand Tang's ambition, thinking that Tang was only to give in for money, just like him.
It wasn't until the end that he understood Tang's approach, because talent alone was not enough, and it took a lot of courage to change people's concepts. So, with this trip south, Don was willing to endure everything.
But in the last concert, Don finally rejected inequality, and I think Don learned a lot from Tony, and blindly compromise cannot succeed. At that moment, the two should have different experiences and become the cornerstone of close friends.
At the last bar, everyone played black music together and danced with black people, and at that moment, he finally integrated into the collective, and the shackles in Don's heart were broken. Stubborn thoughts, frozen hearts, are broken by sincerity.
Of course, it will occasionally be pretended by Don: not everyone can talk about Chopin, as good as I am.
At the end of the story, I meet the police again with the car, but this time it is a friendly reminder: the tire is broken, I think this is the meaning of the effort, the farther north, the more friendly people are to black people.
The word friend is very common, but in today's social environment, everyone seems to be busy with their own business, and friends are gradually drifting away. After reading this article, everyone quickly connected and bravely took the first step.
"So many lonely people in the world, because they don't have the courage to take the first step."
