This actor is punished

Chapter 485 Movie Review
""Green Book" adopts the model of two male protagonists. It is difficult for you to say who is the more prominent male protagonist, Tony or Shelley. The roles of the two are extremely successful through various subtle performances and details. The characters' every frown and smile The phrasing, movement, demeanor, and even micro-expressions are all in place. When the movie ends, accompanied by the behind-the-scenes commentary on the real story, you can even feel that the friendship between the two people continues before your eyes, and the characters are about to emerge from the screen.

At the beginning of the film, Tony is a public relations bodyguard in a bar. He is responsible for attracting customers and throwing troublemakers out. From the detail that he bribes the cloakroom girl to deliberately hide the hats of customers, you will find that he is a very observant person. Know the tricks you can use to manipulate others, and let yourself have a relationship with this person, quietly and cleanly.

Then another detail shows another side of this character: it can be reflected that he discriminates against black people in his heart by throwing away the glass used by black people-just like his environment, his relatives and friends do not. Trust black people.

He even throws away the used cups. If he is asked to work for black people, it should be a very reluctant and embarrassing thing for him.

However, when the club owner offered him a job similar to that of the Mafia, he refused-it appeared more than once in the film. If he wanted to make a living, he had choices, including during the journey he met two Italian countryman, he can still quit halfway, but he refused twice, he would rather work for black people who are discriminated against in his heart than go astray, showing his principles, kindness and sense of responsibility, under his somewhat vulgar behavior, It is a kind and firm soul with correct three views. Compared with the scene of being violent in the bar at the beginning, this character suddenly becomes lively, round and full.

When he went to interview for the driver's job and negotiated with Shelly, his bottom line was not to be a valet and to increase his salary. He passed by the previous interviewer at the door and he keenly grasped the employer's choice. Very narrow - not many people are willing to work for him, except for immigrants or people of color, white people who can qualify and agree to work for black people like him obviously have an advantage in this game, which once again reflects his Extraordinary insight.

I am really impressed by the director, screenwriter and actors of the film, because they performed every detail perfectly and pushed the quality of the film to the extreme.

1. Love and sense of responsibility for the family—the promise to write a letter to his wife before leaving, keep his promise, write all the way, even when he is about to return home, he is still writing the last letter and bring it home by himself , However, you can feel his miss and love for his wife and children between the lines, including when he took out a small photo of his wife and kissed the photo when he was in the hotel, a man full of love and loyalty in his heart, where can his heart be so bad?
2. Delicate mind and strong alertness—the eye contact between him and the valet about carrying the luggage, the sandwich he refused to share with Shelly at the beginning of the journey, the wallet he returned to take when he stopped to pee, the erroneous words heard in the car The defense against the violinist caused by recognizing Russian as German, the comments and prejudices of the young couple in the roadside car towards them (although he did not look at them or communicate with them during the whole process, but through his peripheral vision, he could clearly see their thoughts Chu, so unceremoniously offered a middle finger gesture), the uncompromising of the trash piano, walking out of the Orange Bird bar after having a good time, and immediately found the guy who was plotting to do something wrong and shot him as a warning, all of which reflected his sharp vision And strict self-protection psychology.You thought he was careless and unhygienic, but he warned Shelly, who seemed to have a cleanliness in the cell, who needed red velvet blankets and was very particular, not to touch those sheets. Compared with Shelly, Tony was obviously more independent and caring To himself and others, he was a tough guy, no one could take advantage of him, Shelly needed his protection, and for the two of them, this combination was very complementary.

3. Uninhibited appearance and beautiful interior - Tony has a strong atmosphere of the market, likes to be clever and greedy for cheap, and the carefree Tony doesn't stick to trivial matters.

He throws garbage along the car window, kneels on the ground and gambles with gangsters, and urinates everywhere on the roadside, but he respects Shelly in his heart, admires his talent and talent, and realizes that he is lonely and unhappy.

He quickly learned to express his thoughts romantically and poetically in his heart, and every letter ends with "Kiss the children for me";
When Shirley saw that he was going to the bar for a fellow countryman's appointment, and the conflict and embarrassment of the previous night, he thought Tony was going to leave him, so he tried to keep him by giving him a title and a raise, but Tony He rejected his proposal, he kept the agreement and made him feel at ease, he must do what he promised, and told Shelley tactfully, don't worry and be ashamed, he will not look at his homosexual behavior with colored glasses, he knows The world is complicated.

He will not make judgments, which is really touching. Under the social background at that time, this kind of inclusive and open mind was very rare; during the trip, he made a lot of efforts to ensure the smooth progress of the performance, because he knew very well If he breaks the contract, he will not get the other half of the salary, but when Shelly received discrimination and insult from the lobby manager and refused to perform on the last tour, when Shelly said: If you want me to perform, I will do it and Tony When he resolutely decided to take him away, the whole film reached its climax: he no longer regards this job as a simple job, and Shirley is already a close friend to him, even if he loses the reward, he will not Will sacrifice the dignity of a friend, let him complete the final performance in a restaurant that is discriminated against and humiliated.He really has a very good soul.

Compared with Tony, Shelley's characterization is also very successful. His external self-discipline, inner entanglement and conflict, marginalized psychological portrayal and changes during the journey are all well interpreted.

1. Gentle and firm—to ask Tony to return the lucky stone, to pick up the drink cup that was thrown out, to refuse to go to the toilet in the shabby hut where he was discriminated against, to keep a decent smile after being humiliated in the suit shop, to persist in the restaurant Otherwise, he refused to perform, but he was willing to compromise for him when he saw his friend in a difficult situation, and even drove himself in the snow on the last leg of the journey in order to let his friend go home on Christmas Eve. All of these reflect Shelly's inner strength and The firmness of principle is different from Tony's physical defense. What Shirley shows to the world is his attitude and courage. Just as the violinist Oleg said: "Genius is not enough. It takes courage to change people's hearts. "Just being talented is not enough, it takes a lot of courage to change people's hearts.

2. Contradictory and lonely - under his gentle and arrogant appearance, he hides a heart that is at a loss. He conceals his fragility through qualifications, talents, titles and manners. When he returns to the hotel at night, Oleg and George Chatting and flirting with beautiful women while he sits drinking alone on the balcony, it's no wonder he needs a bottle of whiskey every night.When Tony played black jazz, he asked Shelley, how could you not know them, they are your people! (He is black like him) Hearing this, Shelley was silent, including when he ran to the bar to avoid the accusations and ridicule of his compatriots when he was in a black hotel, he ran to the bar and was beaten up, and after being insulted in the suit shop, he was furious in the performance of the piano that night After getting out of the police station, facing Tony's accusation and anger, he got out of the car and walked into the torrential rain. He broke out in the rain, and he finally yelled out his loneliness, marginalization and struggle with self-identity. The hypocrisy of the white upper class His respect, arty pursuit and deep-rooted discrimination make him often embarrassed. The situation and educational background of most black people are incompatible with him. Even his undisclosed sexual orientation made him lose his wife and family. No one can tell. Sitting alone in a luxurious and empty castle, people have to use their talents to show courage to face this world full of discrimination.He is like a warrior, a watchman, contradictory and alone against the whole world.
