Podcast appearances and mentions of donald shirley

This week we take a look at the 2018 road trip movie Green Book. This film comes with a bit of controversy regarding the message it's trying to get across. For some its a feel good movie about the developing relationship between Dr Donald Shirley and Tony Lip as the travel across America attending concert dates. For others it was a missed chance to highlight the prejudices that were common in America during the 1960's. What did the lads make of the film? Listen on to find out. To leave a suggestion email us at  backtothefilm20@gmail.comThe revelation that one of the group has never tried a KFC was also a massive point of interest to two members of the group!!

Un public conquis et forcément acquis à la cause mais ce gigantesque traquenard au doux nom de Green Book illustre malheureusement parfaitement les limites de l'exercice filmique quand il s'agit d'aller à la pêche aux oscars avec le method acting, la mise en scène académique, une charge politique allant dans le sens du vent. Et aussi un autre problème que les Etats-Unis n'arrive pas à se dépêtrer, le racisme et également sa fâcheuse tendance à vouloir nettoyer son histoire ségrégationniste en mettant en scène des hommes blancs qui se rendent compte que juger et maltraiter les hommes noirs, c'est vraiment pas bien, et finalement si on mangeait tous du poulet autour d'une table en écoutant du jazz, le monde irait beaucoup mieux. Et pourtant, pourquoi le film a fonctionné ? Pourquoi il peut mériter la shitlist ? C'est ce qu'on va essayer de déterminer dans ce podcast Réalisé, coécrit et coproduit par Peter Farrelly avec un budget de 23 millions dollars aidé par Dreamworks et distribué par Universal. Le script est inspiré d'une histoire vraie et basé sur les lettres et interview de Donald Shirley et Franck Vallelonga, le scénario est écrit avec l'aide du fils de Frank Vallelonga, Nick. En 1962, alors que règne la ségrégation, Tony Lip interprété par Viggo Mortensen, un videur italo-américain du Bronx, est engagé pour conduire et protéger le Dr Don Shirley, un pianiste noir de renommée mondiale sous les traits de Mahershala Ali, lors d'une tournée de concerts. Durant leur périple de Manhattan jusqu'au Sud profond, ils doivent se confronter aux humiliations, perceptions et persécutions, tout en devant trouver des établissements accueillant les personnes de couleurs.

Synopsis Today marks the birthday of the American pianist and composer Donald Shirley, who was born in Pensacola, Florida, in 1927, to Jamaican immigrant parents: a mother who was a teacher and a father an Episcopalian priest. Young Donald was a musical prodigy who made his debut with the Boston Pops at age 18, performing Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto. If Shirley had been born 20 years later, he might have had the career enjoyed by Andre Watts, who born in 1946. But in the late 1940s, when Shirley was in his 20s, impresario Sol Hurok advised him that America was not ready for a black classical pianist, so instead Shirley toured performing his own arrangements of pop tunes accompanied by cello and double-bass. His Trio recorded successful albums marketed as “jazz” during the 1950s and 60s, but Shirley also released a solo LP of his piano improvisations that sounds more like Debussy or Scriabin, and he composed organ symphonies, string quartets, concertos, chamber works, and a symphonic tone poem based on the novel Finnegans Wake by James Joyce. The 2018 Oscar-winning film “Green Book” sparked renewed interest in Shirley's career as a performer, but those of us curious to hear his organ symphonies and concert works hope they get a second look as well.

Synopsis On today's date in 2013, the Jamaican-American pianist and composer Donald Shirley died at age 86 in New York City. His death set into motion a plan that had been long in the works: a movie based on Shirley's concert tour to the deep South in 1962, accompanied by Tony “the Lip” Vallelonga, a bouncer at the famous Copacabana night club who Shirley hired for protection. In the 1960s Shirley was at the height of his popularity as the leader of a jazz trio he founded after being told by the great concert impresario Sol Hurok a career as a classical pianist was impossible due to his skin color. In the 1980s, Vallelonga's son Nick told Shirley and his father he wanted to make a movie about the indignities they suffered during that 1962 tour and the life-long friendship that developed between them. Shirley agreed, but said only after his death. "'You should put in everything your father told you, and everything I told you,” said Shirley. "'You tell exactly the truth, but wait until I pass.'" In 2018, five years after Shirley's death, the film was released, titled GREEN BOOK, after a guide for Negro motorists listing hotels and restaurants open to them in segregated states. Fact-checkers confirm the film is largely accurate, and, yes, for over 50 years Shirley did live in an elegant apartment over Carnegie Hall, where his jazz trio often performed.

On this episode, we discuss the ninety-first Best Picture Winner: “GREEN BOOK”"Green Book" is a biographical comedy-drama written by Peter Farrelly, Brian Hayes Currie and Frank "Tony Lip" Vallelonga's son, Nick Vallelonga, based on interviews with his father and Shirley, as well as letters his father wrote to his mother. Dr. Don Shirley is a world-class African-American pianist, who is about to embark on a concert tour in the Deep South in 1962. In need of a driver and protection, Shirley recruits Frank "Tony Lip" Vallelonga, a tough-talking bouncer from an Italian-American neighborhood in the Bronx. Despite their differences, the two men soon develop an unexpected bond while confronting racism and danger in an era of segregation. Directed by Peter Farrelly, the film stars Viggo Mortensen as Tony Lip, Mahershala Ali as Dr. Donald Shirley, Linda Cardellini as Dolores and Sebastian Maniscalco as Johnny Venere.Here on The Envelope, we discuss & review every Best Picture Winner in the Academy Awards History. You can reach anyone here at TheEnvelopePodcast.com – Just go there to email us, check our bios, and keep up with the latest episode.

En la película galardonada al Oscar Green Book, Tony, un italo-estadounidense que trabaja como matón de club nocturno, es contratado por Donald Shirley, un genio musical, millonario, pero afroamericano, para que lo conduzca (y proteja) en un tour por el sur de los Estados Unidos en los años 60, en pleno movimiento de los derechos civiles. Este film aborda la discriminación, el racismo y la movilidad social, más allá de la dicotomía de la víctima y el victimario. Es una invitación a derribar los prejuicios y entender la necesidad de una igualdad ante la ley que sea asegurada a cada ciudadano.

In our first episode of "The Shine Strategy," I'm honored to speak with "Green Book" 2x Oscar-winning producer and writer Nick Vallelonga. The critically-acclaimed film won three Oscars and three Golden Globes and is based on the true story of Nick's father, Tony Vallelonga, who, in 1962, went on a tour in the Deep South with pianist Dr. Donald Shirley. Nick always knew he would tell his father’s important story about overcoming racism. Honoring Dr. Shirley's wishes, he waited until the brilliant composer passed away to make the film. Its themes of friendship, breaking the racial divide and how people really can change have impacted the globe. Nick discusses how he assembled his brilliant team, compiled the perfect cast, and the rest is cinematic history.

This week on End Credits, we court controversy. We dig into arguably the most controversial pick for Best Picture in the last 20 years, and ask if it might be too much to expect a road move to solve racism. Yup, we're reviewing Green Book, and we're talking about the last days of a movie studio, another Simpsons squabble, the trailer for *that* Disney movie, and whether or not it's okay to be okay. This Wednesday, March 20, at 2 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Vince Masson will discuss: The End. This week marks the end of 20th Century Fox as its own Hollywood studio, and the beginning of its time as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Walt Disney Corporation. While a lot of the focus has been on what will happen to your favourite franchises, there could be as many as 10,000 people out of a job, and fewer movies being made in a given year with Disney controlling nearly half of the market. We'll consider the bigger implications of this change. Stark Raving Bad. The Simpsons executive producer Al Jean took the bold step of pulling one of his most signature episodes of the series from syndication, the one that guest-starred Michael Jackson. In the wake of the HBO documentary Leaving Neverland, Jean said he suspected that the episode might have been used by Jackson to lure some of his alleged victims though he has no proof. But really, how much of Jackson's legacy can be erased from pop culture? Oh Kay, Captain, My Captain. Captain Marvel is a box office smash, but many critics have noted that they're not as bowled over by the film as they would like it to be. It's entertaining enough, sure, but it doesn't exactly re-invent the wheel. This prompts the question: Is it okay that Captain Marvel is just okay? Many cultural commentators hope so because the demand for perfection has been holding female-led films back. We'll talk about this new debate. Arabian Blights. Disney has created something of a cottage industry doing live-action versions of their big animated hits, but they may have met their match in Aladdin. While at first there was concern that the film wouldn't be culturally sensitive enough, now the concern is whether the movie looks too impossibly silly to overcome. From Will Smith's not-so-blue Genie, to a less-than-threatening looking Jafar, we'll look at all the way we're concerned with Aladdin. REVIEW: Green Book (2018). It was the Academy Award winner for Best Picture this year, and it's been the subject of a great deal of controversy because of it. The inspired-by-true-events tale of Dr. Donald Shirley, and his 1962 tour through the South while being driven by Tony Lip, a low level enforcer for the New York mob, certainly seemed to be a crowd-pleaser, and it has three Oscars, but are people judging the movie for what it is, or what it isn't?  We'll bring a critical eye to Green Book and consider if the blowback has been overblown. End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 2 pm.

Spoiler Alert! This podcast features a detailed discussion of the story portrayed in the film Green Book. If you haven’t seen it yet, and plan to, please save this podcast for later. The movie Green Book has earned accolades and attacks since it was released in December. The controversies are sure to be rekindled by 91st Academy Awards Sunday, Feb. 24  — Green Book received five Oscar nominations, including “best picture.”  Earlier it garnered three Golden Globe awards, including “best supporting actor” for Mahershala Ali for his portrayal of acclaimed classical and jazz pianist Dr. Donald Shirley. And as a Hollywood biopic that’s “based on a true story,” it has drawn sharp criticism from Shirley’s family members, who say the film distorts and fabricates key elements of the musician’s “true story,” while ignoring powerful parts of his real story. Dr. Wilmer J. Leon III is an author and national radio host who interviewed Shirley’s brother, sister-in-law, and niece before the film was released. They say they were not contacted or consulted by producer/director Peter Farrelly or his screenplay co-writer, Nick Vallelonga. The story, fictionalized but inspired by actual characters, is based on the perspective of Vallelonga’s father, also known as “Tony Lip,” portrayed as a racist, Italian-American nightclub bouncer who was Shirley’s driver on a 1962 concert tour that took them deep into the Jim Crow south. In this podcast interview, Leon details a long list of what he thinks are inaccuracies in the film, from Shirley’s early life to his family relationships to the film’s insinuations that he was gay, a boozer, and a black man who’d never had fried chicken or listened to the music of Little Richard. While we don’t expect Hollywood versions of people’s lives to be accurate or literal portrayals, Leon feels that the wholesale changes to Shirley’s story — while purporting to tell his story using his name — are remarkable. Leon and, he argues, other African American observers see this as part of an all-too-familiar Hollywood pattern: using racial stereotypes to entertain white audiences with feel-good stories at the expense of black narratives. As Leon puts it, “There are all these tropes and stereotypes that they play to in the film, which make their story so much more plausible and acceptable to an audience, but just go against some of the fundamental elements and premises of who the guy really was.” Wilmer Leon is the host of Inside the Issues with Leon on Sirius/XM channel 126. You can read his commentary on Green Book here. The detailed critique we refer to, written by Brooke C. Obie, is here.
