Green Book movie

[Mark Perry]

Probably way behind the times but finally sat down and watched it with the wife a few days ago. Really expected to not enjoy it as I figured it would be kinda cheesy. I can say I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think they did a great job on it. Got their message across without being preachy or condescending. They let the two main characters have their flaws and imperfections. Really well done. I laughed out loud a few times. Good chemistry between the actors too. Wife loved it also.

Crazy to think we used to have a country not all that long ago where black people could not be out after sunset in some areas nor stay or eat in same establishments as white people. This being MLK Day is a good chance to reflect on the ways we have changed and gotten better. Still a work in progress but its better to some degree.

I agree mark, sometimes we forget that not long ago things were very different in the land of the free and home of the brave.

Viggo Mortensen is an amazing actor. Go watch Aragorn in Lord of the Rings. You won't believe it's the same person.

Great Movie !

[WVBullet]

I’ll have to watch this one.

Great movie with great message. One of the best messages is the power of music to bring us all together.

He plays different characters well.

Really good movie. We saw it in the theater when it first came out. Five stars.

Just watched it for the 2nd time last week. Really enjoyed it!

Great movie, and there is NO doubt how far America and the world have came since then.

Even crazier to think that we have a country where currently white people don't dare be out after sunset in some areas.

Fact is it would not make any difference what color someone is if they are out in the wrong area. Racism is one thing, crime is a whole other subject. I think most can see the differences if they are being reasonable and not trying to stir the pot.

Left the movie with a very good feeling. Good flick.

[pabasshawk]

Enjoyed that movie way more than I thought I would. Very good movie.

Great movie! Like Mark, I did'nt expect anything other than my wife said that it was supposed to be a good movie.
I love when you discover a great movie all by yourself!

Totally different role for Vito Mortensen compared to the bada&& he was in GI Jane.

I would agree with this. Do not understand everyones need to "stir the pot" so to speak all the time. This country has come a LONG way.

Not the Green Book but something similar. We went to see Just Mercy last Friday and wasn’t expecting to enjoy it but was pleasantly surprised how good it was.

I have an old friend who is a couple of years old than I, who because of life long diabetes has become just a little senile. One day we were reminiscing about growing up in the old Jim Crow days...I grew up both in Dallas TX and Muskogee OK and he in Midwest City Ok. We both had stories about whites only signs and my mom not letting me sit on the big back seat on the city bus and things like that.

So during that conversation, my friend in his somewhat diminished mental state said one of the most profound statements I ever heard. He said, and I quote word for word because I use it as one of my moral compass directions, "You know, all that old shit is still in my head, but one day it just quit making sense".

How true....it just quit making sense.
