Green Book [Includes Digital Copy] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [2018]

This is what movie making should be like ALL the time. Good story, great acting. Very enjoyable film. I had never heard about the travel guide that this movie is named after. Nice bit of history to learn....

There isn't a person you wouldn't love if you could read their story. I tend to try and not speak in absolutes and there may or may not be some exceptions to this rule, but the point is an obvious one: all the races and people with different sexual orientations or different religious beliefs can get along once we really get to know one another; that we're not really all that different after all. That's all well and good, but it's also a tried and true formula that at least one Hollywood production trots out every awards season to try and make us all feel better about ourselves. One might think, given the current cultural climate, that any movie attempting to bring people together might immediately be dismissed as one party's agenda to corrupt another into actually having a conversation with a person of opposing views, but maybe that's ultimately why Green Book feels so good right now and ironically, so needed. There isn't a thing here you haven't heard or seen before and director Peter Farrelly (one half of the brother directing duo who brought us comedy classics like Dumb & Dumber and There's Something About Mary, but also brought us Dumb & Dumber To and The Heartbreak Kid) directs with the eye of about as mainstream a filmmaker as it gets meaning there is nothing glaringly unique or interesting about the way in which he captures these events, but this does mean it will undoubtedly speak to a very large audience. There was some slight hope that Farrelly might utilize his experience in his years of making broad studio comedies to infuse the many predictable formulas this movie utilizes with a more striking tone or presence, but while taking on a project like this might have been a bold thing for the filmmaker to do given his past credits he alas decides to do nothing bold in the execution of this change in pace, but instead plays it right down the middle. Fortunately for Farrelly, the story has such a great inherent hook and given he's hired two more than capable talents to lead his film it hardly matters how he's saying what he wants to say as long as it's competent enough to capture how Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen are saying what they want to say. It's largely through these two performers that Green Book transcends the calculations of a movie such as itself, eclipsing every predictable note it plays that could have so easily rung false to become something genuinely endearing; a true crowd-pleaser in the least cynical and most delightful of ways.

I really appreciate what chemistry the actors brought to the screen. I had no idea of this time setting. It was emotional at times to me but overall a great movie. Heart warming. Sure tubed at my heart strings. Definitely recommend to anyone of adult age. Glad I took the chance on this. Now one of my favorites. A must see to really enjoy.

This was an Awesome movie. You didn't want to leave the television for a second. This movie had real life experiences. I watched the movie a second time after viewing the first time. I challenge everyone to watch this movie.

Very good movie that I will definitely watch again. So glad I added it to my collection and it really opens your eyes on some things. It isn't a perfect movie, and there were a few things in it I didn't care for personally, but overall it's excellent and one I highly recommend.

I had heard or read reviews that went both ways on this movie. In my opinion, this is a great movie that is very much worth watching. Our 40-year-old Daughter watched it with my Wife and me, and she kept asking if such things as portrayed in the movie really happened. My Wife lived in upstate New York, but I lived in Virginia where white attitudes and behaviors could be pretty bad toward blacks, but not as bad as in the Deep South. Hopefully one day discrimination will finally fade away.

Its a true story movie that resonates such a true life experience that happened in a time when things were upside down. Great actors that portrayed real life people.

This film charters the journey of two men through the Deep South at a time when "political correctness" was NOT a thing. I was engrossed from beginning to end watching these two learn from each other how to overcome their preconceived notions about each other, and themselves. The post-credit photos and biographies of the actual people makes it that much more powerful.
