When Tony Lip (Mortensen), an Italian-American bouncer with a seventh-grade education, is hired to drive Dr. Don Shirley (Ali), a world-class African-American pianist on a concert tour from Manhattan to the Deep South, they must rely on the “Negro Motorist Green Book” to guide them to the few establishments that were then safe for Blacks. Confronted with racism, danger—as well as unexpected humanity and humor—they are forced to set aside differences to survive and thrive on the journey of a lifetime.
This was an excellent movie that told so many excellent stories from different viewpoints. The chemistry between the two leads was perfect and so believable. I see this movie being nominated for a TON of awards come the end of the year and it massively deserves all the accolades it has coming.
I would absolutely recommend people check this movie out. It's pretty much a must see and will certainly make my top ten list at the end of the year. Probably in the top 5 at a minimum.
