A typical Italian-American becomes the driver of a genius African-American pianist on his tour through the South.
After the initial shock of learning that the movie is directed by one of the Farrelly brothers (Dumb And Dumber; Me, Myself And Irene; Stuck On You; There's Something About Mary; Movie 43 and so on), you'll enjoy a perfect movie, pleasant, honest, with very different people in more or less common situations for most of the population. Viggo Mortensen is unrecognizable, perfect in portraying the Italian-American Tony Lip and Mahershala Ali is divine, bringing to life a lonely character, superior in intelligence and knowledge and perfectly aware of it who slowly breaks the barriers raised by himself between him and the rest of the world. Many would easily benefit from trying to learn something from both these very different personalities.
Often sad, at times amusing, Green Book demonstrates universal ways to counteract social obstacles that change or evolve from generation to generation.
Directed by: Peter Farrelly
With: Viggo Mortensen, Mahershala Ali, Linda Cardellini
