Film review - Green Book The film Green Book was on shown in China in 2019, and I was impressed by this Oscar winning film. It's 1962 and Dr. Shirley, an African-American pianist, is going on a concert tour in the Deep South. In need of a driver, he hires Tony Lip, an Italian-American who once worked as a bouncer. Armed only with the 'Negro Motorist Green Book,' an essential guide to safe travel for people of color, the unlikely pair develop an understanding for one another and a surprising bond. Confronted with racism, danger as well as unexpected humanity and humor, they are forced to set aside differences to survive and thrive on the journey of a lifetime. With sharp and humorous tone, green book faces up to this cruel and real topic-racial discrimination, and sets the story background in 1962. During Shirley and Tony’s trip, it not hard to feel that the more southward they go, the more discrimination they suffer. “All man are created equal.” What a beautiful line! But when American government promulgated the declaration of independence, it never occurred to them that the equality would be so difficult to achieve. Although Shirley can play elegant music in white concerts, he can't use the restaurant, and even the toilet. He also needs to change clothes in the glove room. In that era called Jim Crow, everything is separate between white and black. The toilets are divided into white toilets and black toilets. The schools are divided into white schools and black schools. In the bus, white people sit in the front and black people sit in the back. In the foreword to The Negro Motorist Green Book, 1949, the author wrote: “There will be a day sometime in the near future when this guide will not have to be published. That is when we as a race will have equal opportunities and privileges in the United State. It will be a great day for us to suspend this publication for then we can go wherever we pleased, and without embarrassment.” Now this edition is indeed no longer published, and I think we can say that a question of racism is much better seen today than it was 60 years ago. And even black man can be president. However, that doesn't mean black people are completely free of inequality. Compared with those visible oppression, many black people are now suffering from invisible discrimination, which is a kind of cultural and institutional oppression. They are poorly educated and poorly paid. They are even executed as thugs by the police because of their lower social status. Today,Freud's
