This is a movie that profoundly describes the racial and class issues that the old Americans have been unable to completely erase and eradicate.

Many bridges are set very realistically, and they are also the various problems that black people will face in reality.

The whole film is very realistic, and many problems are very thorough.

The title of the movie "Green Book" is also a travel guide for black people that actually existed in history.In 1962, the white supremacy movement once again set off a small climax in the United States. The black postman Victor Hugo Green wrote such a pamphlet, pointing out which hotels and restaurants can allow blacks to stay and eat.

The Green in the booklet's name "Green Book" is taken from Green, and it seems to adopt the meaning of green to symbolize smoothness.

The two male protagonists of the movie took this green book and drove to tour around the United States.One male protagonist is Tang, a famous black musician, and the other is Tony, a white veteran who hangs out in nightclubs, and is called to be Tang's driver.The contrast in skin color and cultural accomplishment naturally produces some wonderful chemical reactions during the journey.In addition, the film also shows entanglements at many levels: racial discrimination, inequality of the same race, between masters and servants, the social status of musicians, family relations, and so on.

Many movies that reflect racial discrimination have some political correctness in them, which is reflected in this movie. From the very beginning, it should be a scene where Tang, a musician in a bar, gets drunk and is beaten by a group of white people.

In the end, Tony (the white driver) used violence to control violence, and rescued Tang under a bunch of fists and a shotgun.

However, the greater thing about this movie is that it unexpectedly avoids direct conflicts between races, and instead uses some reversal methods to reflect discrimination itself.

Caucasians who seem to be friendly turn 180 degrees when encountering practical problems.

For example, the two went south to a luxurious manor.

The owner of the manor received the musicians very politely.

Then after the performance, Tang wanted to use the bathroom, but the manor owner refused to let him use the bathroom for guests, and only let him use a latrine built by a simple shed in the yard.Because at that time in the South, and the era before the emancipation of the serfs, black people could not use the same toilet as white people.

Even if Tang is a noble musician, performing twice at the White House, it is no exception.When the two were imprisoned because Tony hit the traffic policeman, Tang called the president's brother and got an "amnesty" from the higher-ups before being released from prison.

Even such a Tang could not avoid being discriminated against.Another example of contrast comes from a high-end restaurant in Birmingham where the two men are.The restaurant invited Tang to perform. When the restaurant manager saw Tang, he was full of compliments, but the rest room arranged for Tang was a small storage room, and Tang was not allowed to eat in the restaurant, because the restaurant’s The rule is that black people are not accepted.

In Wu Zui's view, this movie has an even greater quality.

This movie also has a bit of a "right" meaning for white people.In the middle of the journey, a dialogue between the two sublimated the theme of the film.

Tony said, I grew up in a small society surrounded by my relatives and acquaintances. I haven’t read much, and I haven’t seen much of the world. I don’t have as much education as you. That’s why I feel like this.This passage was originally intended to refute Don's view that Tony's behavior was too vulgar and judged people by their appearance, but I saw some sympathy for the discriminators on the issue of discrimination.

Contemporary America can be said to have studied discrimination to the extreme.

For example, in a post on Zhihu in China, an international student was, when he first went there to study abroad, he met an Asian student in the school with an English name and a Chinese surname.Sometimes we habitually ask, do you speak Chinese (or we can communicate in Chinese) or are you from Hanxia.The other party was silent for a few seconds and said:

"I'm from Michigan!".

Then he rolled his eyes and left.

Once chatting with a roommate who is also a Hanxia international student, I felt that most ABCs are difficult to communicate with. You go up to say hello, and she just responds with a casual sentence, turns around and leaves.The roommate said that because they were afraid that they would be mistaken for Hanxia students, they stayed far away from the Chinese circle.

The roommate said that there was a post on the Internet, saying that those cold ABCs came from low-level immigrant families. It was not easy for parents to work illegally in the early years. After finally settling down, they were afraid that they would be regarded as nanny and Chinese restaurant. Waiters, so you have to desperately rely on mainstream society.However, those ABCs who immigrated with their highly educated parents didn’t care. When they came into contact with international students, they would take the initiative to report out of their homes, and some insisted on speaking a few words of Chinese to win everyone’s favor.

Think about it, it's basically the same rule around you.When we were in China, there were often regional discrimination, clothing discrimination, and school discrimination. "High climbing" is probably the mentality that everyone has more or less.The smaller the city, the more serious the mentality of judging people by their appearance.They haven't seen much of the world, and they are labeled according to their accent and appearance.

Then the international student heard from a white colleague a few days ago that she went to a party and saw a black man.The apartment was carpeted, so everyone took off their shoes.She praised the pattern on the other party's socks is very beautiful.The black man said, thank you, it's basketball socks.Then she asked along the way:
"You play basketball?"

"Hey, you are discriminating against me." The black man said angrily,

What?If I just ask you casually if you play basketball, is it because I discriminated against you?Yes, the basketball world is indeed dominated by black people.But is this buddy too glassy, ​​or does he automatically think that as long as you look white, you will discriminate against black people.Is this also a kind of discrimination against white people?

So many people began to think, always feel that a lot of racial discrimination is being abused.

It is often seen that Asian employees in a unit work much harder than African employees, but have much less salary and promotion opportunities.Hanxia people and ethnic minorities compete for the same position in the academic circle. If the resume of the Chinese is not much higher than that of the other party, basically they will not get it.Once I had dinner with a few friends from ethnic minorities. They also said that when we apply for schools, we will emphasize our own race, so that the application will be much easier. It is really difficult for you Chinese to go to school.

Then the post also explained that the international student also met a domestic second-generation student of sociology at Columbia University.

Because I have encountered blank stares before, so now I don’t ask questions about family and language when I meet Chinese.

After chatting, she took the initiative to tell me that her parents were from Hanxia.

The international student looked a little surprised.Unexpectedly, she was very excited and said, "Wow, I don't look like a Hanxia person!".It seems that it is also an ABC who wants to get rid of Hanxia's identity.Later we talked about going to school.I said that it is not easy for you Asians. You have to be much better than minorities to enter schools of the same grade.She said, what you said is wrong, because American people know that we Hanxia people can come to the United States, and we are not ordinary people. For example, my father is a university professor, he can easily find a job, and our family's financial security is also guaranteed; But blacks were originally an oppressed proletariat in history, and their starting point was low, so they must be compensated.

This movie can be regarded as giving white people a small opportunity to complain.Not every white person has a higher education and has seen the world, and not every white person has to live a dignified life.I grew up in a small environment and I didn't meet a lot of people who were different from me, I only saw black people eating fried chicken, I think you look like a person who likes fried chicken bought fried chicken, can you Can't also understand my short-sightedness and outspokenness.

But racial discrimination is also a thorn deeply engraved in the hearts of many ethnic minorities. This thorn may not have been really pulled out, so they will also show a very sensitive and sharp attitude towards some issues.

This may be what Wu Zui wants to say through this movie.

You are too JB anxious!

What he wants to say is, what he wants to mean by metaphor is: "I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry!"
