Chapter 485 Film Review

"The Green Book adopts the two male protagonists model. It is hard to say which Tony or Shelley is the more prominent male protagonist. The characters are extremely successful through various subtle performances and details. The characters' every frown, smile, wording, expression and even micro-expression are extremely accurate. When the movie ends, accompanied by behind-the-scenes annotations of the real story, you can even feel that the friendship between the two continues in front of you, and the characters are about to emerge from the silver screen.

At the beginning of the film, Tony is a public relations bodyguard in a bar. He is responsible for attracting guests, throwing the troublemaker out, and bribing the details of the cloakroom girl deliberately hiding the guest's hat. You will find that he is a very good at observing person. He knows what tricks he can use to manipulate others and make himself get in touch with this person, keep silent and neat.

Then another detail shows the other side of the character: it can be reflected by his throwing away the glass used by blacks, and he is discriminating against blacks in his heart - just like in his environment, his relatives and friends do not trust blacks.

Even the cups that others have used should be thrown away. If he is asked to work for black people, it would be a very reluctant and difficult thing in his opinion.

However, when the club owner gave him a job similar to the mafia nature, he refused - it appeared more than once in the film. If he had a choice for the sake of livelihood, including when he met two Italian fellows on the journey, he could still quit halfway, but he refused both times. He would rather work for the black man who discriminated against in his heart than go astray, showing his principles, kindness and responsibility. Under his somewhat vulgar behavior, he was a soul with correct views and kindness. Compared with the scene that started in the bar, this character suddenly became vivid and round and full.

When he went to interview the driver's job and negotiated with Sheley, his bottom line was not to be a servitor and increase his salary. The missed him with the previous interviewer at the door and made him keenly capture that the employment choices were very narrow - not many people were willing to work for him. Except for immigrants or people of color, white people who could meet the conditions and agree to work for black people like him obviously had an advantage in this game, which once again demonstrated his extraordinary insight.

I was really impressed by the directors, screenwriters and actors of the film because they couldn't interpret every detail more accurately and pushed the quality of the film to the extreme.

1. Love and sense of responsibility for the family - the guarantee of writing letters to his wife before leaving, doing what he said, writing along the way. Even when he was approaching home, he was still writing the last letter and taking it home himself. However, he could feel his longing and love for his wife and children between the lines, including taking out his wife's small kiss photos when he was in the hotel. How bad will a man with love and loyal heart be?

2. Delicate mind and strong alertness - the confrontation between him and the male servant about the chess of his eyes when moving his luggage, the sandwich he refused to share with Sheli at the beginning of the journey, the wallet he took when he parked and urinated, the words he heard in the car mistakenly recognized Russian as German, and the defense against the violinist. The little couples on the roadside car talked about them and had no communication (although he did not look at them at all, and did not communicate at all, through Yu Guang, he knew their thoughts clearly, so he offered them unceremoniously.

The gesture of the middle finger), the uncompromising garbage piano, after walking out of the Orange Bird Bar, I immediately found that the guy with a bad intention shot and warned him, all of which reflected his sharp vision and strict self-protection mentality. You think he was careless and unhygienic, but he warned him in the cell that he seemed to have a clean obsession with, and needed a red velvet blanket and very particular Shelley not to touch those sheets. Compared to Shelley, Tony was obviously more independent and could take good care of himself and others. He was a tough one.

guy, no one can take advantage of him. Sheli needs his protection. For the two of them, this combination is very complementary.

3. Unruly appearance and beautiful inner world - a strong urban atmosphere, likes to be clever and greedy for cheap, and careless Tony is not careful about the details.

He threw garbage along the car window, knelt on the ground and gambling with the gangsters, urinating anywhere on the roadside, but he respected Xie Li in his heart, admired his talent and talent, and realized that he was lonely and not happy.

He soon learned to express his thoughts in his heart romantically and poetically, and each letter ended with "Kissing the children for me";

When Sheley saw that he was going to a bar to go to a fellow countryman's appointment, plus the conflict and embarrassment that had been the previous night, he thought Tony was leaving him, so he tried to keep him by giving him a title and a raise, but Tony refused his proposal. He kept his promise and made him feel at ease, and told Sheley tactfully that he would not worry or be ashamed. He would not look at his homosexual behavior with tinted glasses. He knew that the world was very complicated.

He would not make any judgments, which was really moving. In the social context at that time, this inclusive and open mind was very rare. During the journey, he made a lot of efforts to ensure the smooth performance, because he knew that if he breached the contract, he would not get his other half of the reward. However, when he received discrimination and insult from the lobby manager on the last tour, when Sheley said: If you want me to perform, I will do it and Tony decided to take him away, the whole film reached its climax: he no longer regarded this errand as a simple job. Sheley was already a close friend to him. Even if he lost his compensation, he would not sacrifice his friend's dignity and let him complete his final performance in a restaurant that was discriminated against and insulted. He really had a very beautiful soul.

Compared to Tony, Shelly's characterization is also very successful. His external self-discipline and restraint, inner conflicts, marginalized psychological portrayal, and changes during the journey are all interpreted very well.

1. Gentle and firm - let Tony return the lucky stone that goes away, pick up the drink cup thrown out casually, refuse to go to the toilet in a discriminated hut, keep a decent smile after being humiliated in the suit shop, insist on eating in a restaurant, otherwise refuse to perform, but when he sees his friend in a difficult situation, he is willing to compromise for him, and even drive himself in the last journey in order to let his friend go home on Christmas Eve, brave the heavy snow in his car. All of these reflect Shelley's inner strength and principled determination. Unlike Tony's physical defense, Shelley shows the world his attitude and courage, as the violinist Oleg said: "Genius is not enough. It takes courage to change people's hearts." Being talent alone is not enough. To change people's hearts.

2. Contradictory and loneliness - under his gentle and arrogant appearance, what is hidden is a heart that is at a loss. He conceals his fragility through qualifications, talents, titles and manners. When he returns to the hotel at night, Oleg and George are chatting with the beauties, while he sits alone on the balcony and drinks. No wonder he needs a bottle of whiskey every night. When Tony plays black jazz, he asks Sheley, how could you not know they, they are your people! (As black as he is) Hearing this Sheley was silent, including when he was in a black hotel, he ran to the bar to avoid the accomplices' pickup and ridicule of his compatriots, and was beaten up that night. After being insulted in the suit shop, he was crazy in the sound of the piano in the performance that night

The expression of anger, and the criticism of Tony after escaping from the police station, got off the car and walked into the heavy rain. He broke out in the rain. He finally roared out his loneliness, marginalization and self-identity struggle, the hypocritical respect of the upper class of white society, the art-like pursuit and the discrimination in his bones, often embarrassing him. The situation and educational background of most black people are incompatible with him, and even his sexual orientation is undisclosed, which makes him lose his wife and family. No one can tell. Sitting alone in a luxurious and void castle, he also has to take the courage to face this world full of discrimination through his talent. He is like a warrior, a watchman, contradictory and lonely against the whole world."
