Watched Green Book.
Based on real life events. The theme behind the story is very typical for an American movie of our time but I very much enjoyed it. Viggo Mortensen's acting as a wop is great, but all the other actors - with very few exceptions, and even those aren't terrible - played with such quality they really made the scenes entertaining. I liked those little moments which gave a tiny insight in the life of those people in the movie. It's also has humor but doesn't take it too far as comedy.
It's a good solid movie.
>>25510That's a rarely discussed topic. Here too, the people mostly just want to shove the old granma into the grave and get on with the mourning.
But then the movie seems to show a threefold conflict, on one level there's science and tradition, on another the matter of will: whose important, the deceased's or the family's, and on the third level it's a cultural/relgious conflict between Christianity and Buddhism.
Do I see it right?
Well as you can judge it.
