What does the Green Paper tell us?

What the Green Paper tells us:

Although the Green Book has human discrimination, it better portrays the understanding, kindness, tolerance, responsibility, friendship and love between people, etc., and also allows us to see the beautiful side of human nature.

Although there are still some prejudices in this complex society, we should learn to accept that others are different from ourselves.

Introduction to the Green Book:

Green Book is directed by Peter Farrelly and features Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali.

starring in a feature film that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, 2018; It was released in Chinese mainland on March 1, 2019.

The film is based on a true story and tells the story of Tony, a bodyguard.

He was hired as one of the world's leading classical pianists, Don Che. The pianist will be touring from New York, a story of friendship that transcends race and class.

The Green Book tells us to have a good heart.

The film as a whole is still a road movie, using the journey to connect these two people of different colors, different classes, and different cultural backgrounds, from the inherent impression to the gradual reconciliation. We want to believe stories like this because we want to have a minimum of kindness, understanding and equality between people, and that's a good wish.

The image creation of the two protagonists of the movie is very successful, and the interaction is also very sparkling, and the two of them were both shortlisted for the Best Actor and Supporting Actor at this year's Oscars, and the reason why they make us like it so much is not only because the actors interpret it in place, but also because they are very layered.

Video reviews. The Green Book successfully captures the plight faced by people of color, not only in the Deep South, but also in places like New York City. Viggo Mortson's pouting smile seemed to fit the role well. It's hard not to love the character.

The film is based on a true story, mainly about a famous black pianist who wants to change people's discrimination against blacks and hires a white driver who happens to be short of money to tour the south.

The plot of the movie is funny and sobering, people are different from even restaurants, hotels, and black people, all of which reflect the darkness brought about by social racism.

The Green Book, originally meant to be a guidebook, listed where local blacks could eat and sleep, as many hotels and restaurants were white-only. Without the Green Book, it would be difficult for blacks to move an inch, but in fact, in a deep sense, the Green Book also represented the difficult social status of blacks at that time.

There are a lot of interesting things in the Green Book, and my personal favorite is "Rational intelligence makes you invincible".

"Green Book" tells us that what really cares about you is not to try to turn you into a different person, but to try to bring out the best in you.

The personalities of these two people may be very different, one likes to be silent, the other loves to express opinions, but they both understand a precious truth, that is, respect. And the reason why Tony and Dr. Shirley get along makes us feel very warm, is because two people who are very far apart will not rashly want to change each other, but without touching the bottom line of both parties, step by step let each other perceive the message they want to express, Tony sees through Dr. Sherley's incompatible loneliness, so he wants to share it with Dr. Shirley when he finds an opportunity.

Whether it was the fried chicken he had never eaten, or the letter Tony racked his brains to write to his wife, and even he reminded Dr. Shirley to seize the opportunity to take the initiative to contact his long-lost brother, and Tony's bending and stretching style also had a subtle effect on Dr. Sherry, so when Dr. Sherry was later refused to eat at the white restaurant, he was willing to go to the local bar with Tony for dinner, from which he unexpectedly found a sense of belonging accepted by his own family.

Follow-up

Dr. Shirley tries to make Tony play to Tony's strengths, but at the same time, he also opens Tony's eyes, giving him the opportunity to appreciate art, as well as rhetoric, and open his heart to new things.

And this also made Tony, who has always been quick to draw conclusions about others, understand. Many things are not as beautiful as they seem, and for some people, many grievances may not be spoken, and sometimes quietly persisting may have more impact than shouting loudly.

"You will never win with violence, you can only overcome everything with dignity".

In "Green Book", the black Don Shirley was treated unfairly by the white police, and Tony, his driver and friend, injured the outrageous policeman in order to make a bad breath, which eventually led to the two people being trapped in a cage and almost missing the next performance. It's obvious that the injustice of the police is the first, but it is himself who gets into trouble in the end.

The same is true of many people in life, who are carried away by anger when they encounter problems. obviously took care of himself, but because of his reckless style of acting, he was imprisoned, and in the end, he was beaten upside down.

Guiguzi advocates that people should "deal with things slowly" and don't blindly wave your fists, after all, fists don't have brains. When encountering difficulties that cannot be solved in time, we should first "let go" and consider and think from multiple angles and aspects.

Superiority is just a state of mind, it doesn't mean that you're really better than others."

Superiority refers to a nature or state that shows contempt or conceit, and is a sense of self. Most people will have some kind of superiority to varying degrees, such as professional superiority, appearance superiority, etc. Generally refers to the state of mind that oneself thinks that it is better and stronger than others in physical, psychological, and other aspects.

In the end, it is a feeling of self-righteousness, or rather just an illusion. A sense of superiority can help us overcome our inner inferiority complex to some extent, but it can also often blind us to our own shortcomings.

I'm not white enough, I'm not black enough, I'm not even a man enough, so who am I? ”

The black pianist Tang Shirley in "Green Book", from the beginning of the appearance of arrogance, indifference is the armor to protect himself, he did not follow the "black established growth line" to grow up, so he was ostracized by black compatriots, but can not integrate into white society, although he has played in the White House twice, but still not immune to white discrimination, he is like a lonely soul, wandering between white and black.

In our daily lives, we are often entangled in what kind of person we are, what style of clothes to wear, whether to choose a stable job that we don't like, or a job that is full of challenges but our dreams.

All of our entanglements and hesitations are largely due to our own "I'm not white enough, not black enough" law, such as I love milk tea but I'm already fat, I want to write but I don't want to learn to write, I want to have many friends but I don't want to spend time socializing......

You can only be yourself, because everyone else has done it, be unique to yourself. ”

You can only live your life according to your inner thoughts, there is no way to have the best of both worlds, you are willing to give up the gains and losses, if you are not white enough and black enough, you are yourself.

Respect each other, regardless of skin color.

Racism is hateful.

Let go of prejudices, contradictions and reflections between people, people and society, people and themselves.

The movie "Green Book".

Take Tony, a white Italian.

Lip's perspective, telling the story of the United States in the 60s, with the southern tour of Dr. Shirley, a black man, as the main line, reflects the living conditions of black people in society at that time. It's a comedy that discusses racial discrimination.

Movie. The movie "Green Book" tells the story of two lives. The first life is a black ** Dr. Don Shirley, talented, rich, but without friends and full of loneliness.

The second life is Tony, who has no money, no status, but has a family and joy.

Most of us live the life of Tony, although we don't live in a castle and sometimes sell our strength for rent; We also don't have a glamorous identity, walking on the street blindly, no one admires. However, we don't have so many rules and regulations, and we live simply and happily.

The main plot

The film is mainly about Don, a black Ph.D. pianist, who has excellent artistic talents. But after he had a separate recital hall and hundreds of spectators a day, he hired an unemployed white man named Tony as a driver and embarked on a two-month tour of the South.

During the whole process, he basically performed every day, but the applause of the audience, the names of the guests, and the respect for him only existed on the stage. First, Tang was still an old black in the eyes of whites, even a black slave who was prevalent in Europe at that time.

As his driver, he watched every one of his performances for free, and also witnessed the unfair treatment of Don with his own eyes. The pianist, who was respected on stage, could not get off the stage into the white man's toilet, could not count into the white man's dining room, or even entered the normal dressing room. Tony is both angry at the attitude of others towards Don and puzzled by the fact that Don has given up his stable and respectable performance hall to go on tour.

Finally, at the end of the film, Tony understands Don's purpose for this tour from one of Don's partners. It turned out that he was on this tour to use his own strength to try to change the perception of blacks by whites, to fight for more dignity for blacks, and to let blacks be respected as they deserve.

The Green Book tells us to treat everyone equally, and at the same time, to find fun in everyday life and learn to enjoy ordinary life.

Enjoying the flow, learning to understand, and being kind to others is the most comfortable posture for us to get along with ourselves, with others, and with the world.
