Review of Green Book (2018) by Sweevil — 08 Jan 2019

Best movie of 2018. Beautifully written, shot and acted. The only people who don't like it are certain cranky old white lefties who refuse to approve of ANY movie touching on racial issues unless every single white character is an evil, irredeemable, murderously vicious racist. Fingering all other white people as racists allows cranky old lefties to feel marvelously sanctimonious and superior.

Don't listen to these self-serving, mean-spirited idiots. This compelling true story, at times hilarious, other times deeply moving, doesn't flinch at showing southern segregation at its ugliest but -- the white lefties cannot abide this! -- it shows individuals can help heal the country's racial wounds by gaining understanding and reaching out with kindness and generosity.

This message is not happily received by the sort of white lefties who feel all white people are racist and must die. All white people EXCEPT them, of course ...
