1FILM REVIEW: GREEN BOOK
The movie Green Book was released in the year 2018. The movie is a biographical
comedy dram film directed by Peter Farrelly. The film was written by Farrelly Currie and Nick
Vallelonga based on real life interviews, conversations and letters. The movie Green Book had
its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and it was theatrically released in the
United States in the month of November of 2018 and earned a gross of $322 million worldwide.
The movie attracted criticism and praise for its sharp depiction of issues such as racism,
segregation and privilege in American society.
The movie revolves around two men from different ethnic and social background, their
journey and personal development. Dr. Don Shirley, who happens to be a world class African-
American origin pianist, is about to venture into a concert tour in the Deep South in the year
1962. Dr. Shirley needed a driver and protection for himself so he recruited a serious minded
bouncer from an Italian- American neighborhood in the area of Bronx whose name was Tony
Lip. The two men, who were from different social, ethnic and socio- economic background, soon
develop an amazingly unexpected bond while confronting their own as well as the world’s
prejudices regarding racism and danger in the time of segregation and discrimination. The movie
is an excellent example of the concept “unity in diversity” and teaches the audience about the
virtues of accepting and acknowledging people from all corners and spheres of the world without
falling prey to any misconception of pre-conceived notion (Anshori, Gunawan & Thahara,
2019). Amidst rampant and blatant racism in America in the 1960s, when civil rights movements
were gaining prominence throughout the American political arena, the movie “Green Book” is a
flush of fresh air that restores faith in humanity and pin points the obnoxious custom of apartheid
and racial segregation.
