The Green Book

A Film Review by Gabriel, Pablo and Victor Hugo (Class 3C)

THE GREEN BOOK

During the 60’s most of the people in the USA where racist so many black people (called negroes or colored people) were discriminated against. Black people weren’t admitted in some neighborhoods and there were also motels with the name of colored people on them where only black people could sleep.

Characters: Tony Vallelonga, Dr Shirley, Dolores Vallelonga.  The name of the band is Don Shirley band. In the film the protagonist (Tony Vallelonga, also called Tony Lip ) needs a job so he works for a very famous pianist. All was going well but, when he saw that the pianist was black, he instantly changed his mind. Finally he accepted the job and saw that black people were also humans like them so finally, after all the concerts, Tony invited him to share Christmas dinner with him and his family.

Our opinion is that the film was very cool because you can see the 60^s from a different point of view. And another reason why the film is so interesting is because of the excellent acting.
