![]() ![]() Now as to e-ink-I am visually impaired-I know what I am talking about. Well, that is not how it is supposed to work, but it is my experience. About half the time, the Kobo refused to do the download so, I had to first download to my computer and then sideload into the Kobo. Most books were downloads from the library (using Overdrive). These little nagging issues keep the movie from being great although I still enjoyed it.I owned a Kobo Clara HD. Only when she gets the house letter does she goes head over heels. She should hold back on the affection with the other girls going gaga. There is no reason why Dolores would go gaga over the letters when she suspects that it's Shirley's writing. Even the letter writing could be improved if some forethought had occurred. It's a nice surprising twist to his character and in keeping with his transactional nature. ![]() I was really scared where Farrelly was taking that until it was saved by Tony who as a nightclub bouncer claims to have seen it all. His broadly played homosexuality is also a little awkward. Maybe he's not up to date but he had probably studied aspects of modern music and he's probably met a few of those artists. The point should have been that he prefers not to eat fried chicken (and watermelon and collard greens and grits). It's crazy that a man has never had fried chicken despite coming from the south. There are scenes where Farrelly is desperate for humor but it only heightens my disbelief. ![]() Viggo is doing it pretty broadly but the main problem is Shirley. I don't mind the racist Tony Lip finding redemption and friendship in Shirley. There are issues but the movie has its heart in the right place. Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali) to his concerts in the deep south. When his workplace gets shut down for a two month renovation, he gets a job driving peculiar classical pianist Dr. "Tony Lip" Vallelonga (Viggo Mortensen) is a nightclub bouncer and a tough guy ingratiating himself with gangsters. Reviewed by SnoopyStyle 7 / 10 heart's in the right place I laughed, I sobbed, I connected, a cinematic triumph, Green Book is an incredible film. It looks sensational, they brought 1962 to life, and the music throughout is spot on. The acting, is simply outstanding, you couldn't put a pin between Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali, the pair are unbelievable in this film, it's no wonder awards came flooding in. You see the true horror of what Shirley faced in day to day life, from buying a suit, to eating dinner. It's one hell of a journey (I know it's a term that's easily bandied about in films, but it's appropriate here,) physically and emotionally, it's a battle of wills, ideas, concepts, each man learns something from the other. Shirley has a specific reason for touring in the deep south. It's a fascinating story, I had no idea that it was based on true events, temporarily losing his job at a club, Tony Lip Vallelonga gets a job driving for Doctor Don Shirley. Not often these days so I give ten stars to a film, with Green Book however, I had no other choice, this film had me totally captivated.

In doing so, they nurture an understanding and a friendship that would change both their lives.-Kenneth Chisholm ( ) However, as the disparate pair witness and endure America's appalling injustices on the road, they find a newfound respect for each other's talents and start to face them together. The snobbishly erudite pianist and the crudely practical bouncer can barely get along with their clashing attitudes to life and ideals. Although hardly enthused at working for a Black man, Tony accepts the job and they begin their trek armed with "The Negro Motorist Green Book," a guide for safe travel through America's racial segregation. The most promising offer turns out to be the driver for African-American classical pianist Don Shirley for a concert tour into the Deep South states. In 1962, tough bouncer Frank "Tony Lip" Vallelonga searches for work while his nightclub is closed for renovations.
