Not black and white enough

I was a little biased. More than that maybe. Thought that giving the best movie award Oscar to the racially aware Green Book was just a shallow transparent attempt to cover up past mistakes and controversies by the Academy. Luckily the director Peter Farrelly (known for goofy comedies in the past) and all the people here, wonderful actors Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali and all the rest in the production proved me wrong. On the surface, Green Book is about the bromance between an elegant African-American concert pianist and his Bronx-born streetwise Italian-American chauffeur. But it cuts deep into the flesh of sheer racism of the Deep South states in the sixties. And yet, at times it's also thunderously funny.
