Among the many critics who were present in the audience for the premiere of Green Book, there was a black man, wearing a t-shirt and black jeans, who looked to be around 25 years old and was ready to criticize the movie from his very honest opinions.

He was looking forward to understanding Ian Renner's perspective of the whole race dilemma. Tyrone Davis was in the crowd knowing he might have to write another full-ass review for the movie he was about to watch.

On the inside, he was personally attached to the whole theme of what the promos said that the movie was going to be. Tyrone was not one-hundred percent sure about the movie as he was quite skeptical about the whole idea. But, he had reserved judgment till after seeing the movie.

The movie started shortly after and everyone around Tyrone except him was feeling extra excited for the movie to unravel its glory. Tyrone was still in a bind with himself if the movie would be good or bad.

After the start of the movie, he relaxed back and kept enjoying every part of the movie while his thoughts about the movie changed from zero to positive.

[...]

"Figured we'd come up and keep Dolores company…"

Lip kept watching them from afar. He had just come downstairs due to all the noises people were making in his house. He was disturbed by the voices, but after he came down, the people who sat on the couch watching the T.V. signaled the kitchen by using their eyes, raising their eyebrows. Lip turned back to see what they were saying.

It clearly showed how Lip looked at the two black people in his kitchen in disgust. His facial expressions were caught on the camera perfectly.

"You shouldn't be sleeping in the middle of the day, leaving my daughter here alone with these sacks of coal." The oldest man among the group of men said while looking at Lip angrily. He was talking in Italian, but the subtitles had translated it to English.

"And why do you hire them to do an Italian's job? It's a disgrace," The other person muttered in Italian.

They were continuously talking about the Black people that were inside their house. The idea of them being there was pretty bad and a disgrace to them.

Tyrone frowned seeing how they talked to each like how black people were some sort of disease.

"I didn't know who they were gonna send," Lip said, looking back and forth.

Then, the screen showed the situation of Dolores, who poured two cups of lemonade for the two workmen, and they gulped down the drink because they looked tired from the work.

"Thank you, ma'am." The black workman to the left said with a smile, handing over the cup back to her.

"I'll walk you out," Dolores said while the other two nodded in agreement. They walked out, and Lip kept watching them walk away.

"Deep to center field, holy cow he did it! A home run for Roger Maris! Holy cow!" The man on the T.V. shouted and everyone excluding Lip cheered happily.

Lip's eyes were focused on the two glasses that were in the sink. Dolores had left them in the sink after they drank from it. It looked as if something was bothering Lip.

Dolores comes back after bidding the two workmen goodbye, she was in the kitchen. Lip quickly joined her and tried to taste what she had cooked. She slapped her arm right away and muttered to join the others at the table. Dolores then walked away to arrange the tables.

Lip, who walked towards the sink from the curry which she had made, was in front of the two glasses that the two people had drunk the lemonade from.

'What the fucking hell' Tyrone muttered his thoughts out loud because the man looked as if he was diseased.

He took the two glasses with two fingers, the glasses clinging to each other, and then he opened the dustbin which was on the floor to his right, and threw them inside of it.

'That was sick, and so true in the past,' Tyrone was feeling deeply hurt by how people were mistreated ages ago.

Since it was the first incident of racism that was in the movie, Tyrone felt as if the movie would be something that could blame almost everyone who acted in such a manner. His interest in the movie grew further with every scene he watched.

[...] With time, it finally reached the point where Lip meets Tony. He had to be in the queue of the interviewers and then he was called inside for the interview. Looking around, he saw how the room looked weird compared to any other interview he had ever been to. Elephant tusks were one of the things that grabbed his attention.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," Doctor Tony walked inside of the room, which took Lip a bit by surprise. He did not expect the man to be black, but it was even fine if the job he had to offer was normal.

By the end of the movie, Tyrone's perspective on the movie had taken a drastic change– a positive one. While walking down the street, because his house was just a few blocks afar, he still kept thinking about all the scenarios the movie had.

Although Lip was very hesitant at first, being the driver to a black man– who was ought to be a doctor yet was a musician, later on, the friendship develops beyond measurements.

From eating the sandwich which was named 'Dr. Shirley' during the start of their journey while thinking 'Fuck the guy' who was right behind him and owned the sandwich, to sharing the meat at the end of their journey while telling him what to do with the 'bones' of the meat that Lip said should be thrown out of the car, their friendship came a long way.

Tyrone was feeling wholesome about how the movie went. The man who was racist made good friends with a black person and then treated them with respect which made them a good duo.

In the end, when he returned to his house with his wife and family, he was a man who had changed one hundred percent of his thought patterns. In the end, Tyrone still had this picture playing in front of his eyes, which was how Lip welcomed Shirley inside his house with a tight hug.

His wife, who was happy to see the doc, hugged him tightly thanking him for helping Lip with the letters. It was overall wholesome. By the end of the movie, almost everyone had tears in their eyes including Tyrone who was practically skeptical about the whole movie.

He also concluded no matter how good the plot was, the actors did an amazing job. By how they acted to make the fans feel every emotion, every part, every scene, every turn to the core, they succeeded. The tears at the end of the movie proved how well they executed the idea.

Tyrone personally became a fan of the actors who were in the movie.

[...] The critics, including Tyrone, had high regard for the movie. They all believed and stood on one fact, which was how the movie was perfectly executed to highlight the friendship of two people despite the racial differences and overcoming prejudice.

Green Book – A movie that shows a mirror into history!

Two men—one white, one black—from polar opposite backgrounds with wildly contrasting personalities get thrown together under unusual circumstances. Green Book premiered on the 14th of February, which was yesterday.

The director of the wonderful masterpiece is F.F. Moses, the award-winning director of 'Friends To Last and someone who opened the doors to Hollywood in the genre of rom-com. The scriptwriter, who owns the wonderful plot is our very young yet talented director, Ian Renner who directed La La Land which won two Oscars.

Lip, the main character, was played by Micheal Shay, and Tony was played by none other than L.M. Thomas. With these two leads, there were many other well-known actors and actresses in the movie like Michelle Pierce, John De Valo, and Richie Mello. The golden point of the whole movie was the story and how it was directed.

They learn from each other, change each other for the better, and discover that—guess what?—they're not so different after all. "Green Book" is all that and more: It also takes place while the two men are driving across the American South in 1962, so it contains multiple formulas at once. It's the mismatched-buddy road trip movie with a message about race relations, arriving in theaters at the height of the awards season and the holidays, just in time to make us all feel better about the world—or at least give us a brief glimmer of hope during this period of political and ideological division.

As a bonus, it also happens to have been inspired by a true story. But damned if it doesn't work beautifully for nearly the entirety of its two-hour-plus running time. "Green Book" is the kind of old-fashioned filmmaking big studios just don't offer anymore. It's glossy and zippy, gliding along the surface of deeply emotional, complex issues while dipping down into them just enough to give us a taste of some actual substance.
