I went with my wife to Top Ryde Cinemas last night and watched Green Book.
This was done on the recommendation of one of her former teaching colleagues.
I was not disappointed. I was a great movie.
The link should give you the gist of what the movie is all about.
however the developing friendship between the two is probably what the movie tries to portray.
A poorly educated man of italian background meets a fantastic piano player what has not one but two doctorates.
( The best part of piano playing is when he plays the piano in a dead end club and plays good old boogie woogie. He mostly plays jazz but would prefer to play classical music. however he gets such a high playing boogie woogie he says he would love to do it once a month and do it for free!)
It is a movie which shows the latent racism in the US deep south of the early 60s. (The lead player is shown ringing Bobby Kennedy up to get out of a southern gaol.)
In the end it is a feel goo g movie. Is it accurate. Perhaps not in all things .I do not know. however the end product is right up there in terms of movies i have seen.
Highly Recommended
