Podcasts about Tony Lip

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!!

Green Book is #133 on IMDB's Top 250 Movies as of April 2024 (the number may differ based on when you listen). In this episode, we discuss the heartwarming movie led by the exceptional performances of Viggo Mortensen as Tony Lip and Mahershala Ali as Dr. Don Shirley. We also asked the question of if this movie's use of humor to address serious issues was the right call and so much more!

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.

Con la partecipazione di Francesca Pellegrini e Maria Vittoria Pierleoni.Guarda il reel.Questa puntata parliamo di un film “recente” per Film alla Radio: Green Book  è una pellicola del 2018 diretta da Peter Farrelly, interpretata da Viggo Mortensen (Tony "Lip" , doppiato nella versione italiana da Pino Insegno) e Mahershala Ali (Don Shirley). Il film ha incassato in tutto il mondo 320 milioni di dollari, dollaro + dollaro - Il film racconta l'amicizia tra un buttafuori italoamericano e un pianista afroamericano nell'America degli anni sessanta. È ispirato alla storia vera di Don Shirley e Tony Lip (pseudonimo di Frank Anthony Vallelonga), attore e padre di uno degli sceneggiatori del film, Nick Vallelonga. La produzione è iniziata a New Orleans nel novembre 2017. Per il suo ruolo, Viggo Mortensen è dovuto ingrassare di circa 20 chili. 

This week on Chris's Corner I go through the backlog of work by the great Viggo Mortensen. Viggo has been in the industry for a long time but doesn't seem to get the recognition he deserves from both audiences and critics. This podcast solidifies his importance within the film industry as well as being an all round awesome human being! Viggo Mortensen's performances alone as Aragorn in Lord of the Rings and Tony Lip in Green Book should make hime a Hero but his compassion and understanding behind the scenes earn him this title as well. I hope you enjoy this weeks's podcast and as always I hope to see here next weekend!

Vượt lên trên khá nhiều tranh luận xung quanh việc có xứng đáng được danh hiệu cao quý nhất tại lễ trao giải Oscar lần thứ 91 hay không, “Cẩm nang xanh” vẫn là một bộ phim chất chứa nhiều cảm xúc, mà trong đó người ta tìm thấy những nụ cười, những chân thành và cả những xót xa. Truyện phim kể về câu chuyện có thật giữa một nghệ sĩ dương cầm da màu chơi nhạc Jazz - Don Shirley - và người vệ sĩ kiêm quản lí tour diễn của ông, Tony Lip Vallelonga, cùng tình bạn của họ trong suốt chuyến lưu diễn dài hai tháng xuôi theo miền Nam nước Mỹ đầu những năm 60 của thế kỉ trước. Ai cũng biết, thời điểm đó, đạo luật Jim Crow với đầy những quy tắc hà khắc nhắm vào người da màu vẫn đang rất thịnh hành ở nơi đây. Bởi vậy, nhắc tới “Cẩm nang xanh”, người ta nghĩ ngay tới một bộ phim với nội dung phân biệt chủng tộc, đặc biệt, phim lại lấy cảm hứng từ cuốn sách “The Megro Motorist Green Book”, cuốn sách được coi là Cẩm nang du lịch dành cho người da màu. Nhưng, hơn thế nữa! Nếu bạn đang tìm một cái gì khá nhẹ nhàng, pha chút hài hước, chân thành, mộc mạc, với những bản nhạc Jazz tuyệt vời và một tình bạn kì lạ đầy sức mạnh thì đây chính là lúc bạn nên ngồi xuống, dành hơn 130 phút để thưởng thức tác phẩm gây tiếng vang với rất nhiều giải thưởng danh giá này.    Đời người là những chuyến đi… Trái ngược với phần lớn những bộ phim cùng đề tài nổi tiếng khác, “Cẩm nang xanh” xây dựng hai nhân vật đối lập nhau. Đó là Tony Lip, một anh chàng da trắng Mỹ gốc Ý côn đồ, thô thiển, bỗ bã, thậm chí có vẻ ít học, làm bảo vệ tại một câu lạc bộ đêm vừa đóng cửa. Đó là Don Shirley, một nghệ sĩ dương cầm da màu đầy tri thức, hiểu biết, có phần kiêu ngạo tự phụ sống một mình trong một căn hộ được trang hoàng như cung điện dát vàng. Họ gặp nhau, đồng hành cùng nhau, từ những vô tâm, vô cảm rồi dần trở nên gắn kết và thấu hiểu. Bộ phim thuộc thể loại phim Hành trình, các nhân vật chính sẽ trải qua một chuyến đi với nhau để rồi từ đó cùng thay đổi, cùng tìm ra những bài học đắt giá cho riêng mình. Tony, anh chàng có vóc người to cao vạm vỡ, với triết lí sống vô cùng đơn giản. Sự phân biệt chủng tộc dường như ăn vào tiềm thức như một thói quen mà có lẽ chính anh cũng không nhận ra. Ví như anh vẫn vứt ly nước của một người da màu vừa uống vào thùng rác để không phải dùng lại nó, nhưng anh vẫn nghe nhạc của những nghệ sỹ da màu tài năng như là Aretha Franklin hay vẫn thưởng thức gà rán một cách ngon lành và coi đó là món ăn ngon nhất thế giới. Cũng vì thế, việc làm công cho một người da màu không phải mối bận tâm lớn nhất của Tony. Không thể không ngạc nhiên trong lần đầu Tony gặp Don tại căn hộ sang trọng hoành tráng của anh ta. Phân đoạn này quá ấn tượng với người xem khi Tony, một người da trắng, ngồi bên dưới, còn Don, một người da màu, ngồi trên chiếc ghế như ngai vàng và nhìn xuống dưới như thể ông chủ nhìn một người giúp việc đúng nghĩa. Tuy nhiên, với Tony, khoản tiền lương kếch xù mới là điều đáng chú ý, nhất là khi anh vừa bị mất việc ở câu lạc bộ ban đêm. Thế nhưng, chuyến đi này đúng nghĩa là cả một cuộc đời với Tony. Nó biến chuyển anh hoàn toàn, từ một kẻ vô tâm, làm vì tiền, cho tới một người am hiểu, trân trọng tài năng của Don và cuối cùng, là người cảm thông, chia sẻ, gần gũi Don hơn bất cứ ai. Đó là những lần Tony tựa cửa nghe Don chơi đàn, tận mắt chứng kiến những người da trắng ngồi ngây ngất trước những ngón đàn của Ông chủ. Là những lần tai nghe mắt thấy sự khinh miệt mà cũng chính những người ấy dành cho Don phía sau sân khấu. Không được ngồi chung bàn, không được dùng chung nhà vệ sinh, thậm chí không được ngồi chung phòng… là những thứ khiến Tony cảm thấy vô lí cùng cực. Don bỗng trở nên đáng kính trọng và xứng đáng được hưởng những sự cư xử công bằng. Tony không còn là một người làm công nữa, cũng không còn nhìn Don với con mắt của một người da trắng nhìn một người da màu nữa. Anh đã đánh nhau, đấu tranh vì Don bằng lòng khâm phục và tình thương giữa con người với con người. Vụ ẩu đả trong quán bar để bảo vệ Don khỏi những kẻ da trắng kì thị. Gây gổ với người thu xếp nhạc cụ cho Don chỉ vì anh ta đã không chuẩn bị cây đàn như Don yêu cầu. Đánh cả cảnh sát vì họ đã khinh miệt và nhốt Don vô lí hay túm cổ áo người quản lí nhà hàng nơi Don diễn chỉ vì không cho Don ngồi ăn trong phòng… Những sự thay đổi cứ thế từ từ đến với Tony, tự nhiên và không hề có bất kì tính toán nào. Người ta thấy ở Tony không chỉ là một người đầy nhiệt huyết với Don mà còn là một người sống rất tình cảm với vợ của mình. Anh liên tục viết thư cho vợ với những lời lẽ thô nhưng thật khiến Don đã phải mở lời giúp đỡ. Những câu văn dần trau chuốt hơn, mượt mà hơn, đẹp và nên thơ hơn… khi Tony thể hiện tình cảm của mình với vợ và miêu tả những nơi họ đã đi qua.       Núi trong lòng mới là Núi Nhưng, có vẻ bộ phim không chỉ dừng lại ở đó. Cái thông điệp “Thay đổi trái tim người khác cần nhiều sự dũng cảm” không chỉ dành cho trái tim của những người da trắng như Tony, mà nó còn dành cho trái tim cũng đang cần được thay đổi của Don. Càng đắm chìm trong “Cẩm nang xanh” người ta càng cảm thấy rõ ràng rằng sự bình đẳng mà bộ phim hướng tới là sự bình đẳng trong chính mỗi người, như Don là một ví dụ. Người xem nhận ra chuyến đi mà Don lấy cảm hứng từ cuốn “cẩm nang dành cho người da màu” là hành trình tìm lại bản thân của anh. “The Megro Motorist Green Book” của tác giả Victor Hugo Green là cẩm nang du lịch vào giữa thế kỉ 20 dành cho khách du lịch người Mỹ gốc Phi nhằm giúp họ tìm kiếm những nhà nghỉ và nhà hàng sẽ chấp nhận họ - cũng chính là cuốn sách mà Don luôn mang bên mình trong suốt chặng đường của hai người. Có một câu thoại của Don Shirley đã nói lên tất cả : “Nếu tôi chưa đủ đen, nếu tôi chưa đủ trắng, hay nếu tôi chưa đủ đàn ông… thì tôi là gì?”. Loanh quanh trong thế giới của riêng mình, Don không thể hòa nhập với người da trắng và cũng tách biệt bản thân với những người da màu. Anh bị sự lạc lõng và cô độc bủa vây, mất phương hướng, mất sự định nghĩa về bản thân. Tự phụ nhưng dường như cũng quá tự ti, Don không chấp nhận sự thật rằng anh cũng là một người da màu hoặc chính anh đang muốn chối bỏ điều đó. Bằng chứng là Don đặt mình lên trên màu da của mình, anh không nghe nhạc của những nghệ sỹ da màu khác, thậm chí chưa bao giờ ăn món gà rán. Khi chiếc xe bị hỏng dọc đường, hai bên là cánh đồng, Tony loay hoay sửa còn Don thì đứng tựa lưng vào nhìn ngắm trời mây. Ta bắt gặp cảnh những người nông dân da màu đang làm ruộng ngẩn mặt nhìn cả hai vô cùng khó hiểu. Don đã chui vào trong xe để lẩn tránh những con mắt tò mò đầy ngơ ngác ấy. Dường như, anh không muốn đặt mình ngang hàng với họ, những người cùng màu da với anh.  Cái vẻ kiêu kì, ngạo mạn được hiểu chỉ như là cái vỏ che giấu phần nhiễu loạn trong tâm chí Don và chuyến đi này là câu trả lời cho câu hỏi “Tôi là gì” cứ mãi luẩn quẩn chưa tìm thấy lối ra của anh. Don đã từng diễn ở Nhà Trắng và nhiều bữa tiệc quan trọng của chính phủ. Anh quen biết nhiều người quyền cao chức trọng. Chỉ cần một cú điện thoại của anh là cảnh sát phải thả họ ra với những lời xin lỗi rối rít. Nhưng như vậy thì sao? Sau ánh đèn sân khấu và những lời chào mừng nồng nhiệt thắm thiết thì anh vẫn phải ngồi riêng một góc, phải ăn riêng bên ngoài phòng ăn và bị phân biệt đối xử khi bước chân trên phố. Tony thắc mắc tại sao Don cứ nhất định phải đi xuôi về phía Nam. Thì câu trả lời là đây. Là những lần bị đánh, bị chửi rủa, bị bắt bớ vô cớ… chỉ vì màu da. Don đang cần tìm lại chính mình. Rồi, chuyến đi đã đạt được mục đích của nó. Don có câu trả lời cho Trái tim anh. Con người ta không thể hoàn hảo theo cách người khác nhìn vào. Tony là một người da trắng thô thiển nhưng chân thành, đầy ắp yêu thương. Don là một người da màu nhưng tài năng và đa cảm. Lần đầu tiên, Don ăn gà rán bằng tay không cùng với Tony. Lần đầu tiên, Don tự lái xe còn Tony thì ngủ vùi ở ghế sau - quá mệt vì phải chạy xe trong bão tuyết. Cũng là lần đầu tiên, Don tới nhà người khác vào đêm Giáng Sinh, tới với gia đình của Tony. Hành trình thay đổi của Tony cũng là hành trình khiến Don nhận ra chính anh cũng phải tìm thấy sự dũng cảm để sống khác đi, để là chính mình. Phim do đạo diễn Peter Farrelly đồng biên kịch với Brian Currie và Nick Vallelonga, con trai của Vallelonga - Tony Lip - hợp tác viết kịch bản dựa trên những cuộc phỏng vấn Tony và Don, cùng những bức thư mà Tony đã viết cho vợ trong suốt hành trình kéo dài hai tháng của họ. Vì vậy, người ta có thể cảm nhận được từng chi tiết trong phim vô cùng sống động, chân thực và giàu cảm xúc. Đặc biệt, với tông màu xanh vàng hoài cổ cùng những bản nhạc Jazz tuyệt mỹ, “Cẩm nang xanh” đích thật là một bức tranh đa màu sắc về một tình bạn đẹp và những trái tim dũng cảm dám đổi thay.

Pour le film de cette semaine, j'ai choisi l'Oscar du meilleur film en 2019, rien que ça. L'histoire en quelques mots nous ramène en 1962. On suit Tony Lip, habitant du Bronx et videur dans un night club, qui va être embauché suite à la fermeture temporaire de son établissement pour conduire le célèbre musicien noir Dr Don Shirley dans une tournée de concerts. Leur périple de huit semaines va les amener dans le « deep south », le sud profond du pays, où à ce moment de l'histoire la ségrégation raciale demeure fortement présente. Tony va alors s'appuyer sur le "Green Book", un livre qui recense les adresses où les personnes de couleur pouvaient à l'époque séjourner sans problème, afin de mener à bien ce périple. La cohabitation est-elle possible entre ces deux personnages que tout semble opposer? Comment vont-ils réagir face aux épreuves qui vont se dresser sur leur route dans le sud des Etats-Unis? Que vont-ils apprendre l'un sur l'autre à travers ce voyage? Parlons ensemble de Green Book, réalisé par Peter Farrely.

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.

Tony Lip in The Green Book. Aibileen Clark in The Help. Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird. Rudyard Kipling's poem, The White Man's Burden. The problem of the “White saviour” is persistent and growing in western culture. The term “white saviourism” refers to an idea in which a white person, or white culture, rescues Black people from their own situation. This has been witnessed in western culture from slavery and colonialism to the present "White liberal" day. It is prevalent in many different settings. From books and movies to charitable organizations and foreign policies and even our friends, the image of the White savior saving Black people is a persistent theme and feeling in western culture. In this podcast show, Ben and Marlene will discuss the issue of White saviourism. They will define and identify the “White saviour” in various settings. They will also discuss the effects of White saviourism in Black and White communities. Join the convo!

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.

The controversial 2018 film "Green Book" that just won the Academy Award for Best Picture has it all: a white-savior narrative, cheesy New York Italian-American accents, and a series of cringeworthy tone-deaf scenes that aim to solve racism, but end up being more racist themselves in the end. Farrelly brother Peter directed this unfunny Oscar-bait that apparently either warmed the hearts of all the old white Academy members or was just the perfect anti-Netflix movie to pick so "Roma" wouldn't win. Often compared to "Driving Miss Daisy," it's actually more like "The Bodyguard," "The Odd Couple" and "Planes, Trains and Automobiles." Very not-Italian-looking Viggo Mortensen plays Frank "Tony Lip" Vallelonga, an almost-illiterate, mobbed-up thug who uses violence to solve all of his problems. This movie paints him as a loving family man who will do anything to support them, when in reality he's an awful racist grifter who would never change his attitudes on a dime just because he hung out with one black person for a few weeks. Mahershala Ali plays Dr. Don Shirley (in a role he won an Best Supporting Actor Oscar for), a lonely genius pianist who hires Tony Lip as his bodyguard/driver so he doesn't get messed with while on tour in the 1962 Jim Crow American South. Though every time Tony saves him from trouble, he flips out like a baby for no reason. Linda Cardellini plays Dolores Vallelonga, the doting wife stock character who seems to be the only non-racist member of her entire family. There’s even supporting characters played by cheesy standup comedian Sebastian Maniscalco and the guy who played Donna's dad on "That '70s Show." Join us as we wonder how many times Nick Vallelonga (the main character’s real-life son) watched "GoodFellas" while writing this movie, as we make fun of Steven Spielberg's recent anti-streaming services comments, as we talk about how Paul Walker doesn't get enough grief for dating a 15 year old, and as we wonder if Mahershala Ali is secretly embarrassed this movie won him a second Oscar.

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.

Con 5 nominaciones al Oscar de la Academia, esta fabulosa cinta reflexiona sobre la estupidez de la segregación racial y los estereotipos. Tony Lip, el rol de Viggo Mortensen, es un ítalo-americano lleno de prejuicios sobre los afroamericanos. Su difícil carácter, sumado a ser del tipo rudo, le ocasiona problemas económicos, por eso decide aceptar un trabajo como conductor del Dr. Don Shirley, interpretado por Mahershala Ali, un talentoso músico que lleva una lucha en contra de las barreras raciales. Escenificada en los años 60, inspirada en hechos reales, Green Book es una descollante road movie, que nos lleva de viaje a través de la naturaleza humana, para darnos a entender, que debajo de la piel, todos los seres humanos somos iguales. @caracoldepeli

Jeremy Kagan moderates the 28th Annual DGA Meet the Nominees: Feature Film Symposium featuring Bradley Cooper, Alfonso Cuarón, Peter Farrelly, Spike Lee, and Adam McKay on their nominated films. Part two shares the nominees' thoughts on casting. Highlights include how Peter Farrelly convinced Viggo Mortensen to take on the role of Tony Lip, why Alfonso Cuarón doesn't believe in directing kids, and how Bradley Cooper fared years ago during an audition for Spike Lee.

It’s Oscars season and we’re reviewing the Academy’s big category picks. ‘Green Book’ (starring Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen) is directed by Peter Farrelly and has nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor (Mortensen), Best Supporting Actor (Ali), Best Original Screenplay and more. Synopsis:  “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 Tony Lip, 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.” We put the movie through our critically acclaimed rating system, which grades based on four categories: 1. Did we like it? 2. How did everyone look? 3. Will we steal stuff from it? 4. Is it problematic?

En 1962, alors que règne la ségrégation, Tony Lip, un videur italo-américain du Bronx, est engagé pour conduire et protéger le Dr Don Shirley, un pianiste noir de renommée mondiale, lors d’une tournée de concerts. Durant leur périple de Manhattan jusqu’au Sud profond, ils s’appuient sur le Green Book pour dénicher les établissements accueillant les personnes de couleur, où l’on ne refusera pas de servir Shirley et où il ne sera ni humilié ni maltraité. Dans un pays où le mouvement des droits civiques commence à se faire entendre, les deux hommes vont être confrontés au pire de l’âme humaine, dont ils se guérissent grâce à leur générosité et leur humour. Ensemble, ils vont devoir dépasser leurs préjugés, oublier ce qu’ils considéraient comme des différences insurmontables, pour découvrir leur humanité commune.  Un podcast produit par Le Quotidien du Cinéma.
