Chapter 484

At this moment, one could clearly see that the auditorium was overcrowded.

Basically, it can be said that there are no empty seats.

Even many viewers themselves are black!

This surprised Antonio.

Because in all fairness, in his cognition, this film should also be seen by white or yellow people.

Black people should not have much interest in it.

But the problem is that almost 80% of the audience is now full of black people!
This is very exaggerated and outrageous, because before this film was released, Wu Sin could be said to be the number one natural enemy of blacks in America during this period, the kind that was boycotted by all blacks.

Now, most of the people gathered in the theater are black! ?
This made him involuntarily interested in this movie.

Soon, the movie begins.

First of all, after the title, the opening is a text introduction.

[Inspired by a true story]

The text is very short and the content is clearly visible.

Then, the scene at the beginning of the movie is in front of a club.

【Copacabana】

New York City, 1962.

The perspective turned to the club, brisk jazz music was played, and guests were everywhere.

The screen arrangement of the movie is very orderly. Although there are a lot of camera cuts, the magic makes people look very comfortable.

This is a great test for the director's technique.

From the very beginning, it brought a big surprise to Antonio.

After all, he also knew Wu Zui, he also knew that Wu Zui was an actor, and he didn't have any expectations for Wu Zui's director level.

But in the first shot, it seemed that Wu Zui was going to prove his skills to everyone. There was a difficult shot to express at the beginning, but the expression was very good!

This is surprising.

"Did you give me a little surprise at the beginning?" Antonio nodded with interest.

He himself has dabbled in movies. After all, as an elegant person, he is often exposed to art films, and he can be said to be very familiar with some techniques.

This shooting technique is the famous 'Clos Solomon Lens Expression'.

Then, the camera shifted to the lead singer very smoothly.

Then enter the transition phase of the shot.

This is the high difficulty of the 'Clos Solomon lens representation'.

This arrangement of primary and secondary shots can make the audience understand what the director wants to express in a short shot.

I saw a white man standing in front of the stage and said into the microphone: "Hello, New York, I'm Bobby Ryder, I'm very happy to be here! Thank you for coming tonight, and it's another Saturday for Copa. night."

The camera shifted to the entrance of the club.

A group of people walked into the club.

"Tonight is destined to be another fascinating evening, and we promise to make everyone here enjoy themselves. As always, thank you Mr. Jules Podell for inviting us to join us! Enjoy!"

The white man sang a song, and with the rhythm, the singing spread.

The arrangement of the film is very orderly, and the choreography of each shot is just right.

And as the movie progressed, the plot of the movie began to unfold slowly.

Then, it brought a big surprise to everyone present, including Antonio.

This was a surprise completely beyond their expectations.

Tony, one of the main characters in the story, is in desperate need of a job as the nightclub he works for is closed for renovation.

A friend suggested he go to an interview with a doctor of music for a driver.

When he arrived at the luxury apartment, he found that the doctor was a black classical music pianist named Don. The pianist was in need of a driver to pick him up when he held a southern tour.

Of course, both of them knew very well in their hearts that in the southern region with severe apartheid in the 60s, they could easily get into trouble, but Tony needed money, and Don needed a professional driver who could take care of him.The record company that paid Tony gave him a "Green Book" guide, which listed places where local blacks could eat and sleep, because many hotels and restaurants were only for whites.

As for the setting of the two roles, it happens that the white Tony's social status is at the bottom, while the blacks, on the contrary, belong to the social elite and belong to the upper class.

This huge sense of strong contrast brings great impact to people, and also brings a touch of criticism to the theme of the movie.

Until what happens later in the plot.

For example, the white Tony is actually just the driver of the black Don, but when they go to many places, similar to high-end restaurants, people tend to reverse their primary and secondary status instinctively.

This made Antonio, who was watching the movie, have a strong sense of resonance.

Because even in this era, he is still experiencing some things in the movie.

For example, some stereotypes.

There are also some cognitions that come from instinct.

It gave him a sense of empathy.

I have to say that Wu Zui really put a lot of effort into this movie.

The more he looked, the more stupefied Antonio became.

He became more suspicious, is this really a movie made by a person of yellow race?
He really knows the black community all too well, and racism too well.

Until the end of the movie, when he walked out of the movie theater, he didn't come back to his senses.

How to say this movie, how does it feel to him
"I'm going to write a movie review!" Antonio couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately found a coffee shop, started to turn on his computer, and started writing.

"I must admit that when I first saw the name Director Wu Sin, I didn't have a strong desire to watch this movie. This kind of stupid behavior of "judging people by appearance" and "taking movies by name" once made me miss There are several timeless films, so I would like to thank my friends for their recommendation, so that I did not miss this seemingly mediocre but one of the best films in film history.

"Green Book", someone translated it as "Green Book Traveler", the translated title and poster more or less reflect the general content of this road movie. People with completely different views, because of accidental factors, embarked on a long-distance journey that is very memorable for both parties. During this journey, they understand, change and grow with each other. From the perspective of the film, this kind of narrative structure The content and content are not original, but what makes this film so impressive is not that it is unconventional or shocking. Handling of characterization and details.

The whole movie is like a natural sculpture, and every detail is handled deeply and naturally. If you are the kind of movie just to see the special effects, appearance or exciting plot, then I really don’t recommend you to watch it. Just like wanting to eat chili but choosing ginseng fruit, this film requires the audience's delicate insight, deep understanding and emotional contemplation."
