Green Book

The movie Green Book changed the value of friendship. The film is based on fact and is set in the American South in the 1960s.

The story follows the journey of Tony, an uneducated and violent Italian Caucasian, and Shirley, a gifted black pianist who is the complete opposite of Tony. At this time in the U.S., racism was fierce and there were many problems, but as they shared many hours together, they developed a friendship that transcended race. The "Green Book" is a guidebook for the use of facilities that was produced for traveling blacks in the 1950s and 1960s during a time of intense racial discrimination. What particularly resonated with me in

this film is the scene where Tony is away from home for two months and writes a letter to his wife. Ignorant Tony had no concept of writing a letter, so he could only write in words like a child. Shirley teaches him various words. They are so good letters that I wish I could have letters written by Shirley.
