Chapter 487: Oscar Night
Then there is the simplicity and kindness contained in the protagonist - asking Tony's wife for permission before the journey begins, telling Tony several times that he can come to him if he needs money, teaching Tony how to express his love in letters during the journey, using his rap talent to teach Tony to practice tongue twisters, and taking Tony's interests into account if he is insulted.
And said that if he wanted him to perform, he would do what he wanted, and at the Orange Bird Bar he finally got his wish and was able to play the classical piano as he wished - remove the wine glass from the piano, even in the face of a dilapidated piano, he had to show his style and persistence, he played Chopin in a stunning way, and indeed, not everyone would interpret Chopin's pieces like him.
The interpretation of all parts of the whole film can be said to be perfect, the two protagonists have created two extremely successful round characters through multi-faceted presentation, allowing everyone to see their inner changes, communication and growth, and even a casual group performance clip is seen in small ways, which is impressive. For example, when they stopped in the field to repair their cars, a group of working blacks watched in amazement as whites working for blacks, which expressed how deep-rooted the class solidification and discrimination against blacks in society at that time were; A smile flashing across Tony's black waiter face when he leaves with Shelly because of discrimination in the restaurant, and the care and blessings he shows when he encounters a police officer on Christmas Eve with a flat tire; And at the end, Tony's family saw Shelly's surprise and silence for a moment and then accepted and welcomed without hesitation, all of which made people feel warm and beautiful, and made people feel that all experiences had a deep meaning, because this world is so worthwhile.
The ending borrows a sentence from Tony, which is also one of the golden sentences of the whole film: "The worlds are full of lonely people afraid to make the first move", sometimes loneliness is because you haven't taken the first step, no one is an island, when you open your heart, you will gain a friend, whether it is black or white, male or female, walking together in the world, everyone, needs friendship and beautiful love.
All in all, this is definitely the best movie I've seen in recent years, and secondly, it tells the story of racism from all angles.
A lot of times, some problems and collisions don't mean that we don't exist if we don't talk about them, and I'm a black person myself, and the market will also experience some of the problems in the Green Book.
What we should be concerned about is stereotypes, and there is the problem of impressions, and we have not thought about how the other party discriminates against you.
Is Wu's crime discrimination, or is it unintentional? I think it's unintentional, we don't need to go too far on some issues, what we need to pay attention to is some hidden racial discrimination in other places. ”
In this review, Antonio gave a freshness of 9 on Rotten Tomatoes.
Of course, this is also a microcosm of the overall reviews that Green Book has achieved on Rotten Tomatoes today.
"Two men with very different skin colors, classes, personalities, and sexual orientations, bonded because of music, and became lifelong friends because of road trips. Sometimes talent is not enough, you also need to be brave and tear down the wall in your heart to get straight to the point. The film is like a small green pebble thrown into the black and white American society, stirring up small and beautiful ripples. Although there is a deliberately created sense of warmth, I am just willing to pay~! ”
"As a black person, to be honest, a lot of the details of this movie really hit my heart, many of the details are handled very well, and the reality is indeed like this."
"This is definitely the most heartwarming movie I've seen this year, not one of them!"
"If I'm not black enough, or white enough, or male enough, then tell me, Tony, what kind of person am I?!" - Congratulations, you're the most correct person. ”
"I give a 100% freshness evaluation, I just want to sincerely apologize to the crew of "Green Book" and Wu Sin now, I'm sorry, some of my previous words were biased, and now it seems that some things are really just misunderstandings, we are really too sensitive to some issues, so we ignore where many problems really exist."
"In contrast, Black Pearl is ..... This movie really gives people the feeling of deliberately provoking emotions and magnifying problems, making people feel that they are just just doing it right. ”
"No one dared to say this before, but now, after reading the "Green Book", there is a comparison, and I think it is better to say some things."
"Yes, I'm a little disappointed with Black Pearl, a lot of the problems are exaggerated and a little too serious, and it does have the suspicion of stirring up racial antagonism."
"Isn't that normal for Arjons? He has always done this, but he just happened to meet the needs of the general direction, but now...... I'd rather read the Green Book. ”
"Wu Sin's understanding of the black community is higher than I imagined, and he is actually not bad in directing techniques, I can't see the feeling of making a movie for the first time at all, is there really an all-rounder in this world?"
.....
It is said that everything is afraid of a comparison.
The answer sheet handed over by the "Green Book" surprised everyone with satisfaction.
At first, the film was not well received.
But the speed of this word-of-mouth fermentation is unexpected, surprisingly fast.
Then, the high-profile "Black Pearl" was compared instead, especially after some comparison, the decline became more and more obvious.
Especially three days later, a bombshell news came, which shocked everyone.
That is, this year's Oscars are about to be drawn!
And "Black Pearl" and "Green Book" were both selected for the nominations.
Immediately afterwards, at the award ceremony, Wu Sin and Arjens officially met.
Wu Sin seemed very determined, and he didn't express any excessive emotions.
On the contrary, it was Arjon, after seeing Wu Sin, he first snorted coldly.
Subsequently, the media noticed Arjon's demeanor and stepped forward to ask: "Hello, director Arjones, do you have anything to say about tonight's Oscars?" It seems that you are about to compete with Wu Sin, so do you have enough confidence in yourself? ”
"I don't think you necessarily need to ask me that question." Arjons tidied up his clothes and said to the camera.
When he speaks, he is full of confidence.
Why did he choose to make this film, isn't it just to win awards?
Although during this time, "Black Pearl" was indeed inferior to "Green Book" in terms of word-of-mouth and commercial achievements.
But does it matter?
It doesn't matter, because in his opinion, Wu Sin was originally good at commercial films.
Artistically, he believes that he is not inferior to anyone.
