Green Book - (Mahershala Ali & Viggo Mortensen/Trailer)

[mastermind]

Are you serious? You are aware that Hollywood has a history with altering true stories to have them "play better" on the screen? You also have to be historically illiterate, a racist or an absolute imbecile to actually believe that the events play out as they happen in the movie.

wasnt aware. thanks

wasnt aware. thanks

It is hysterical how you people whine about the Chinese movie industry being propaganda; yet, you and the rest applaud Green Book for being ahistorical propaganda that makes you "feel great."

'Green Book' Is 'Full of Lies': Dr. Don Shirley's Family Speaks Out

On 1A, Dr. Shirley’s family members pushed back hard against that claim and the image of Dr. Shirley as someone who was estranged from his Black family and the Black community in general.

Maurice Shirley, 86, who is Dr. Shirley’s younger and last living brother, spoke to 1A before the segment aired and his response was shared by 1A Movie Club host Joshua Johnson. “(Maurice Shirley) says he refuses to see the film because it is, in his words, ‘full of lies,’” Johnson recounted on air. “He also said that, unlike in the film, Dr. Shirley was not estranged from his family or the Black community. He says (Dr. Shirley) had definitely eaten fried chicken before” meeting Tony Lip.

A niece, Carol Shirley Kimble, also called 1A and left a voicemail for producers before the show aired and it was played during the segment:

“My name is Carol Shirley Kimble. I’m the niece of Don Shirley, supposedly the subject of the movie The Green Book,” she said.

“There was no due diligence done to afford my family and my deceased uncle the respect of properly representing him, his legacy, his worth and the excellence in which he operated and the excellence in which he lived. It’s once again a depiction of a white man’s version of a Black man’s life. My uncle was an incredibly proud man and an incredibly accomplished man, as are the majority of people in my family. And to depict him as less than, and to depict him and take away from him and make the story about a hero of a white man for this incredibly accomplished Black man is insulting, at best.”

For y'all that have seen this, is this one of those very safe race-related movies where black and white people come together, have a 100% understanding and live happily ever after? If so,

I saw the trailer for the first time in theaters yesterday and was surprised to see this was a movie people put up high as an awards contender. Mortensen and Ali look great but nothing about the cliché-riddled trailer stood out.
