The greenbook
After doing our presentation on the Prejudice I have remembered one move which is pretty much related to the topic which one of my favorite movie about the prejudice and racism in the America during the 1970s and one of the main character of the movie Tony Lips who is a racist starts to feel the pain and rough world the black people endure after he serve as a driver under the black man who is very rich.
In the beginning of the story a white man known as the Tony Lip loses is a racist at first and when few black people are offered a drink, he throw away the glasses that the black people had drank in the garbage feeling disgusted to even hold the glass after they left. He loses his job as a club bouncer due to renovation in the hall so he is offer a job as a driver for Don Shirly but after he meets him he Tony is hesitated to work for him but he was given a offer he could not reject. At first they did not like each other but they starts to understands each other and they develop a friendship bond and the Tony's view of black people changes after he sees Shirly getting discriminated even if he was a great musician and he is always there for Shirly and even defend him from other racist people. He was impressed about Shirly after he sees Shirly play piano during the concert. The film end with celebration of Christmas in Tony's home with his family and Don Shirly and even shows the real Don Shirly and Tony Lip and says that they are even friends now and the movie was based on the true story.
The title of the movie was best suited as the green book was a book in which it specify the restaurant and hotels the blacks are allowed which was given to the Tony by the others so that Shirly does not get in trouble.
