- A review of a film "Green Book" DISCLAIMER: this article may contain spoilers. Today I have watched a film called “Green Book” which is based on real events. It’s 1962, New York, Tony Vallelonga (Viggo Mortensen) loses his job of a bouncer after a fight at the Copacabana club and is desperate for money. A friend of his tells him that someone called Dr. Shirley (Mahershalla Ali) needs a personal driver so Tony goes for an interview. There he learns that Dr. Shirley is a black pianist who is going on a tour down to the Deep South. Therefore he needs someone more that just a chaffeur, someone who can tackle unpleasant situations that may occur along the way. Though Tony himself is somewhat prejudiced about black people, he needs money to support his wife and two sons, so he agrees. I find this film brilliant in many ways. Firstly, the cast is perfect and acting is plausible. The chemistry between two main heroes, vulgar Tony and refined, well-mannered Doc Shirley, catches your attention right from the beginning and do not let go till the end. In addition, they managed to recreate the spirit of the 60s with the authentic costumes and decorations. And, of course, soundtrack. There are lots of great tunes from that period of time. But, what I love the most about it is plot. It’s not just a film to put your feet up with on Sunday, it shows us what it was like to be a black person in the segregated America, where neither your intelligence nor wealth would allow you to enter places for white people only, if you were of black complexion. Where people would enjoy your performance, but refuse to eat in one room with you. I would definitely recommend this film to anyone who loves good acting and entertaining story.February 23, 201920

'To get to used to + gerund or noun' literally means 'to become accustomed to' (Ex: If you want to be a parent, you need to get used to loud noises.) I hope this helps.0 votedOctober 17, 20181
Why the time goes so quickly?
Daily I ask myself a question: why a working week goes so fast and why a weekends goes even faster?Present Simple здесь более уместно, так как вы говорите о чём-то, что происходит каждый день. Поэтому, time goes.
Я спрашиваю себя - I ask myself.
Fast/ faster мне кажется лучше звучит.
Working week - рабочая неделя.
Надеюсь это поможет. Удачи в изучении языка :)

They were best friends who would die for each other! One sunny day Michael and Chris were walking around they city and suddenly a wolf run out from that strange bushes. The guys got scared and tried to run away but Michael stopped his friend and said: "Look, he is wounded".
"What will we do?" - Chris asked.
M: Let's get him to the hospital.
C: And what will you tell them? "Hey guys, We were walking around the city and found this wolf in the bushes. Please help him, because he is dying". Yep. Cool man!
M: What do you suggest then?
C: Hm, let me think.....I know the local witch, maybe she can help us.
M: Witch? What? Are you kidding me? Witch. Ahahah. This is better idea. Of course man!
C: This is better then all medical centers.
M: Hm. Ok then. But as for me, this is a stupid idea.
C: Think what you want. Because if you see one time you’ll change
your mind. (I'm not sure what you mean. Maybe it's better to say: Because once you see her, you'll change your mind)
After 30 minutes of searching two friends found an old house near the river.
C: We are in place
M: So. Let’s go!
They approached the door and saw that it was open. They came inside but there was nobody there.
C: Hm, strange.
M: Oh,oh,oh, look Chris, a potion for transformation. Let’s try!
C: Put it down. Don’t touch anything!....What?....What are you doing?
M: Look, our wolf – rabbit. Aahahahah
C: Idiot…What have you done?
Witch: Hey! Who let you in?
C: Sorry for disturb, but we need your help. We found this wolf in the city. He is dying. Please help him.
W: Wolf? What wolf? This is a scary rabbit.
C: Oh, Yep. This is my stupid friend took one of your potion.
W: Potion is not a toys! You could kill him! OK! Left it here and wait outside!
M,C: but…
W: OUT!
M: Geez. What a grouch…
W: I’ve heard you!
After 20 minutes…
W: Come here!
M,C: What the….
W: Who is it?
M,C: We don’t know…It was a wolf when we brought it here.
