REVIEW TO THE "GREEN BOOK" MOVIE

• This summer, I and my family watched the film "Green Book". I watched this movie at home, not at the cinema, but it was a really good time!
• The world premiere of the film took place in the fall of 2018, and in Kazakhstan on January 24, 2019. The director of the picture was Peter Farrelli, and the main roles were played by Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali, known for the films “The Lord of the Rings”, “The Hunger Games”, etc. In December 2018, the Green Book entered the list of 10 best films of 2018 published by the American Film Institute (AFI). The film was awarded three Golden Globes in the categories of "Best Film - Comedy or Musical", "Best Supporting Actor" (Mahershala Ali) and "Best Screenplay". At the Academy Awards, the film received three awards in the same categories, and was also nominated for Best Actor (Viggo Mortensen) and Best Editing.
  
• The Green Book is an American biographical comedy drama, the plot of which is based on the real story of the journey through the south of the USA by the famous jazz pianist Don Shirley and the usual driver Tony Vallelonga, between whom friendship develops over time. The film openly raises a problem of racial discrimination in America in the 60s of the 20th century, as well as the relationship and interaction of the white and color population of the United States.
  
• New York, 1962 Frank Vallelonga's bouncer, Italian-American, nicknamed Tony Chatterbox (Viggo Mortensen), is looking for a new job due to the closure of the nightclub he worked for. He is invited to an interview with Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali), an African-American pianist who is looking for a driver for his concert tour of the southern states of America. Don hires Tony, and they decide to hike quickly to return to New York on Christmas Eve. Representatives of Don’s recording studio give Tony a copy of the Green Book, a guide for black travelers to the United States, which lists hotels, restaurants, and gas stations that can serve them. It would seem an insignificant detail, but it is this detail that most clearly reflects the problem that the picture raises, and because of which it received such a name.
• This is an incredibly deep, but at the same time light movie, in which, through the story of two completely different people, you understand how cruel our world is and what you need to deal with. I really liked the play of the actors and all the scenery, thanks to which I really got the feeling that this is America in the 60s. And the restored works of the real Don Shirley require special attention. Most of all I like the composition “Blue Skies”, I listen to it several times until now, it is so beautiful.
