Green Book was the last movie that I saw with my father. It was a beautiful, idyllic and amusing evening together. The following night my father passed away fully unexpectedly. I will never forget this last evening my entire life. Every time I watch this movie again, I see my father smiling right before my eyes.
I’m sorry for your loss. I’m certain he is still by your side in everything you do. What a beautiful memory to hold on to. I just finished watching this movie with my mom and dad. Much love from a stranger that cares .
It's extremely sad and heart breaking to read your comment. I'm sorry for your father. He will remain alive in the hearts of you and everyone he loved and loved by. My father passed away in the year 2014. I haven't even turn 21 yet by the time he departed us. But, I always cheer him in my heart, and doing things to make his soul proud and happy. Godspeed!!!

Crash isn't a bad film, whether it deserved to win is another story. Academy voters went with a safer option than a film about homosexuals to alleviate controversy.

The Favourite or Roma should have Won easily. Green Book isn't a Bad movie. It's enjoyable and doesn't deserve the hate and fake outrage it has received. But it shouldn't have Won Best Picture
Agreed. Why are people hating on this film exactly? My parents saw this a few months ago and they loved it. For me, I thought Roma or Bohemian Rhapsody would win. But I would say that Green Book's a nice surprise for me. And i'm glad Farrelly took this award home. He's been making too many bad films, and i'm glad that his work paid off with this one.
HelloYouHelloMe when you see that the Academy gave Green Book Best picture, it’s pretty obvious we can forget films like Parasite to get Best Picture. But who cares, Parasite won the Palme d’or, which is much more prestigious than an Oscar. Parasite=one of the best films ever
The fact that Black Panther or Bohemian Rhapsody could potentially join an elite group alongside Schindlers List, No Country For Old Men, A Beautiful Mind etc is so god damn laughable
Consider that Steven Spielberg make lobby to make Roma lose against Green Book for being a "streaming service TV movie". And now he's working for Apple and it's new streaming service.
Ever since he started that campigan to make sure Netflix films don't get nominated for best picture I knew he had something to do with roma losing best picture I lost respect for him since then
It's crazy how the Oscars can be incredibly wrong one year (Green Book), and then the next year they sort of redeem themselves by giving the prize to the actual best movie (Parasite). We'll see how the next year goes.
Here are the movies I FEEL we're the most likely to win best picture 8: Black Panther 7: Bohemian Rhapsody 6: Vice 5: Green Book 4: A Star is Born 3: Blackkklansman 2: The Favourite 1: Roma
Don't worry. I definitely can. I'd honestly much prefer it over The Shape of Water and especially Moonlight which was the worst nomination of that year.
In that it's better? Maybe not. But a fine movie. 2001: A Space Odyssey didn't even get a nom in '68. If the film you think should have won really is a masterpiece, it will inevitably be eventually as one. Until then, please stifle your own sense of self-righteousness over an ultimately pointless reality TV award show.

I saw Green Book at its second screening at the Toronto International Film Festival. It got a 10 minute standing ovation, and the cast and crew came on stage after the movie. I knew from that moment this movie was going to go far in awards season
@@angelcastaneda529 Ummmm Shakespeare in Love was in the cinema. Harvey made Hollywood loads of Money. Netflix is what online shopping is to Shops at the Mall. Until Netflix changes its distribution ways and becomes like Amazon they will never Win Best Picture. It's annoying but that's the truth.
Mainly because of who it won over I have not seen any of these movies, except for black panther and bohemian rhapsody, but here’s why there’s so much hate: Green book was mainly a road trip movie that discussed on topics of racism The problem was, green book was the safest option to go with, they could gone the experimental route instead For example, they could have given the award to black panther and make it the first ever superhero movie to win best picture They could have given it to the favorite, and made it the first LGBTQ+ movie to win best picture Roma could have been the first ever foreign language film to win best picture In fact, Blackkklansman also touched on topics of racism, and from what I’ve heard it’s done an arguably better job of doing it Like I said, I’ve only seen two of these movies so there’s a chance I’m completely wrong about this, but this is just what I’ve heard I’m personally sad that bohemian rhapsody didn’t win, but from what I’ve seen there’s been a lot of people saying Roma should have won It may have been good, but a lot of people seem to think that the other options were better
@@gameboynextdoor5744 Green book wasn't just about racism and the movie portrayed that subject in a deeply personal way than Blackkklansman. It was the friendship between two unlikely men and how it affects and changes both of them. I, personally, felt that blackkklansman was a bit too in on the racism thing (though given the story I wouldn't complain too much but still), focusing more on just 'racism bad'. I am not saying that it's a bad movie, I just lean more towards green book as it's not the racism subject that is given center stage but rather the unlikely companionship and it's effects. And why different ? Just because something is different doesn't mean they should have gone that way, especially not simply because of it being different. I also believe Roma should have won but not simply because it was a foreign film but rather because I felt it was more deserving. PS. Wasn't Doc also portrayed as lgbtq+ ?
That's the thing. It's a "good movie." Well acted, has some points, but nothing that hasn't been seen or done before. The Oscars needs to start focusing on awarding the actual "best" again, the ones that's challenge the medium. While "Parasite" was not my pick for Best Picture this year (I was rooting for "The Irishman"), it's more in the vein of what it should mean to represent the Oscars.
I rewatched Green.Book last night. It is the ultimate crowd pleaser film that I can sit down and watch any time its on. That said, Roma should be up there..its an epic masterpiece
back in 2008 the best picture race was tough .. Milk Frost Nixon Revolutionary Road The Wrestler The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button Slumdog Millionaire
1989: Spike Lee nominated for Screenplay for Do the Right Thing, Best Picture goes to Driving Miss Daisy 2019: Spike Lee wins Screenplay, nominated for Director and Picture for BlacKkKlansman, Best Picture goes to Green Book
The Academy always does the same thing, the best film of the year does not win, and they always reward the same kind of movies: 2010: The King's Speech - (The Social Network) 2013: 12 Years a Slave - (Gravity) 2015: Spotlight - (Mad Max Fury Road or The Revenant) 2016: Moonlight - (La La Land) 2018: Green Book - (Roma or The Favourite)
@@KayloJocks bruh I actually disagree there, the way that movie was made and the direction and writing really made it into something special. I would say that movie was one of the best of the year. You should give it a watch if you havent already
I remember watching it in theatres and just thinking that it was a much better live action lion king, but I honestly stopped taking it seriously the moment the sister made a "What are those" Reference. It was enjoyable but really nothing for me to personally love or remember
I know! This is sad considering the actual great films released this year that were not nominated at all-- first one that come to mind are Burning, Beale Street, hell even Suspiria would have been a better addition
J. P P honestly had they nominated movies like hereditary, a private war, a quiet place, searching or Cold War it would’ve been a very satisfactory list of nominees.
If people didn't like this win, how come there are more likes than dislikes for this video and how come this win has more likes than Shakespeare in Love and Crash combined?
When this was first posted there were way more dislikes- ratio was like 2:1. Makes you think- why so many likes now, despite the overwhelming negative comments.... hmmm 🤔
The Academy broke a tradition! Usually since the 90's they played drums before announcing the winner of Best Picture. To emphasize the suspense since its the most important category of the ceremony. Please, bring the drums back!
Aria Strwn It deserved to win because it's the first superhero film to ever be nominated for best picture and if it had won, the superhero genre would have gotten the recognition it rightfully deserved.
@@gxfan039 what recognition it deserved?it is just unrealistic stories with no sense.epic and meaningless phrases while beating up villains?is that better than some catching thriller like parasite or shindler's list which is based on real story
Дмитрий Воронин The recognition for being realistic and incredible story telling! Sure it's not based on a true story, but they do a great job making the comic book story come to life on screen!
I don't blame him. When "Green Book" started getting all of the major guild wins, a friend and me were discussing how Spike was probably having PTSD reliving the 1989/1990 awards season again, when the Oscars completely ignored "Do the Right Thing" outside of two measly nominations for Acting (Danny Aiello, losing to Denzel Washington) and Screenplay (losing to "Dead Poets Society") in favor of "Driving Miss Daisy", only to something as pedestrian as "Green Book".
Green Book is generic, bland, inoffensive movie whose plot you have already seen many times in movies like Driving Miss Daisy or The Intouchables. It is so predictable that just by looking at the poster you already know that the protagonists end up being friends. One of the worst winners ever.
@@themainbork "Everyone called _Green Book_ an 'old fashioned Oscar contender.' But really, it wasn’t. _Green Book_ was about two great performances. Yes, it was a feel-good movie. Yes, it was about racism from a white perspective and homophobia from a straight perspective. But at the end of the day what sold that movie were the dazzling Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen. _Green Book_ won because people liked it, and they liked it because of the chemistry and charisma of the actors. What other movie did that last year in the same way without reservations? For some, _Roma_ was hard to sit through. _Black Panther_ had no writing or directing nominations. _BlacKkKlansman_ was brilliant but wasn’t exactly feel-good. The hive mind asks voters to think like critics or think like activists in making their decision. Critics that slammed the Academy for choosing _Green Book_ did not also extend their outrage to the other places _Green Book_ won, like the Toronto Audience Award, the National Board of Review, the Globes, or the Producers Guild. Nope, *_all_* the ire went right to the Academy. An Oscar contender doesn’t just appear out of nowhere-it has to *run the gauntlet."* - Sasha Stone, _Awards Daily_ (June 17, 2019) And _Green Book_ did *_exactly_* that-"run the gauntlet". 1st match with TIFF People's Choice since _The Hurt Locker._ 1st match with the National Board of Review since _Slumdog Millionaire._
GREENBOOK ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Although it sometimes felt a little too simple in a straightforward way, I still love this movie. At the same time that’s also where it’s power is. It has stirred up some controversy but I think that’s a good thing because the message is strong. I think this film was not made to make a white audience feel bad about themselves, showing the absurdity and humiliation of the racist customs in the Deep South of the sixties (although it is both absurd and humiliating), or to make a white audience feel good about themselves that a racist white guy befriends a black guy after overcoming some obstacles. That would not honour what this movie is about. The movie shows two people from completely different worlds overcoming their flaws and prejudices and becoming very good friends. It’s also about common sense, doing what’s right and the value of friendship. The criticism that the movie received about “telling the story only through the perspective of a white italian/american caricature” is flawed. The movie clearly puts the development of the relationship between both characters in the center. The choice to begin the story with the white character and his world, makes the movie even stronger. Because now we feel what the black character (entering the stage in about a quarter of the film) has to deal and to put up with. Plus it adds to the mystery and alienation of his character. When we also learn that he doesn’t even fit in his ‘own community’ it is clear to see why the movie did’nt start with him. From reading Lawrence Ware’s (NYT) review I understood that not adressing further the pianist’s sexual incident at the YMCA was a miss. But after hearing another viewpoint from a close friend about it I tend to disagree with Ware. “Sexual orientation is a very private matter” (as she explained to me) “and it should not matter in a friend or work relationship. The film should be about what both men are. Not that one of them has a (for that time) devient orientation. ‘Devient’ sexual orientation is from all times by the way.” With both characters and their innately awkward relationship at the center of the movie there is a lot to explore and root for. Would it be interesting to start with the pianist and his world? It would take away some of the mystery of his character, yet at the same time give a close and indepth look on the complexity of his situation. Not that we don’t feel this in the current movie. Eventually it comes in strong thanks to a gradual reveal and the inevitable clash between the two. People who say that this film is made to make white people feel good about themselves have completely missed the point. I would even say that in a time where divicive and polarising retoric is used to seperate us even more from one another this film is a very welcome breath of fresh air. P.S. I haven’t seen all the other movies yet, I thought Black Panther was better then Greenbook and I’m curious to see the others. But I’m happy for the recognition that the Greenbook team received. It’s an important movie. It is time more then ever, that we unite and come together.
The same guy who had Jeff Daniels sit on a toilet with diarrhea and had jizz fall on the side of Ben Stiller’s ear is now a two time Oscar winner…just wanted to say that.
My personal favorite movie of 2018 is Searching. It should definitely win in the film editing category not Bohemian Rhapsody. It's a clever thriller with the use of technology.
Blackkklansmen is really good. I should definitely see Roma. I love Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Gravity. I think Gravity should have won Best Picture in the 2014 Oscars imo. Interestingly enough, Roma is the frontrunner for Best Picture. Go figure.
Here’s a weird fact Mahershala Ali won Best Supporting Actor for “Moonlight” And Moonlight won 2 Oscars for Best Screenplay and Best Picture Two Years Later: Mahershala Ali won Best Supporting Actor again for “Green Book” And Green Book won 2 Oscars for Best Screenplay And Best Picture!
@@richardlugali2690 It's not that moonlight and spotlight were bad, it's more like there were others I would've rather seen win (La La Land and The Revenant were my personal picks those respective years)

@@IVUSER Yeah I see that now.
Parasite was better
2020 Best Picture: Parasite. It needs to win!
I also want parasite to win but it is the academy
HelloYouHelloMe when you see that the Academy gave Green Book Best picture, it’s pretty obvious we can forget films like Parasite to get Best Picture. But who cares, Parasite won the Palme d’or, which is much more prestigious than an Oscar. Parasite=one of the best films ever
I would’ve picked The Lighthouse but yes Parasite needs to win
They've probably already decided that 6 nominations and a sure win at Best International Film is enough.
Anything foreign or Netflix produced won't win for these assholes
The fact that Black Panther or Bohemian Rhapsody could potentially join an elite group alongside Schindlers List, No Country For Old Men, A Beautiful Mind etc is so god damn laughable
Yes, but then you realised that Green Book join that group...
I think Black Panther is atleast better than Green Book
Licken Hunstman didn’t deserve to win tho
@@lickenhuntsman5338 you are so hilariously wrong it's outrageous. Black panther is basically NOTHING compared to green book

Consider that Steven Spielberg make lobby to make Roma lose against Green Book for being a "streaming service TV movie". And now he's working for Apple and it's new streaming service.
Ever since he started that campigan to make sure Netflix films don't get nominated for best picture I knew he had something to do with roma losing best picture I lost respect for him since then
I doubt he will push Apple TV+ for Oscars.

For sure.
Black Panther would have been the first Superhero movie to win Best Picture
facts
I know
Or Joker.
Black panther being nominated is still the most hilarious thing about this
The Green Book is great, why the hate?
Mainly because of who it won over
I have not seen any of these movies, except for black panther and bohemian rhapsody, but here’s why there’s so much hate:
Green book was mainly a road trip movie that discussed on topics of racism
The problem was, green book was the safest option to go with, they could gone the experimental route instead
For example, they could have given the award to black panther and make it the first ever superhero movie to win best picture
They could have given it to the favorite, and made it the first LGBTQ+ movie to win best picture
Roma could have been the first ever foreign language film to win best picture
In fact, Blackkklansman also touched on topics of racism, and from what I’ve heard it’s done an arguably better job of doing it
Like I said, I’ve only seen two of these movies so there’s a chance I’m completely wrong about this, but this is just what I’ve heard
I’m personally sad that bohemian rhapsody didn’t win, but from what I’ve seen there’s been a lot of people saying Roma should have won
It may have been good, but a lot of people seem to think that the other options were better
@@gameboynextdoor5744 Moonlight actually has lgtbq themes and that won best picture
@@gameboynextdoor5744 Green book wasn't just about racism and the movie portrayed that subject in a deeply personal way than Blackkklansman. It was the friendship between two unlikely men and how it affects and changes both of them. I, personally, felt that blackkklansman was a bit too in on the racism thing (though given the story I wouldn't complain too much but still), focusing more on just 'racism bad'. I am not saying that it's a bad movie, I just lean more towards green book as it's not the racism subject that is given center stage but rather the unlikely companionship and it's effects. And why different ? Just because something is different doesn't mean they should have gone that way, especially not simply because of it being different. I also believe Roma should have won but not simply because it was a foreign film but rather because I felt it was more deserving.
PS. Wasn't Doc also portrayed as lgbtq+ ?
Wow Julia Robers, my gosh what a beauty!!!!!!
Kind of narrow assessment of beauty...
The fact that this movie has the Best Picture Award and Blade Runner 2049 hasn't, sometimes makes me loose my sleep.

Never forget: this video had more thumbs down than up, before the dislikes were hidden
I thought Green Book was a good movie.
That's the thing. It's a "good movie." Well acted, has some points, but nothing that hasn't been seen or done before. The Oscars needs to start focusing on awarding the actual "best" again, the ones that's challenge the medium. While "Parasite" was not my pick for Best Picture this year (I was rooting for "The Irishman"), it's more in the vein of what it should mean to represent the Oscars.

2015: Spotlight - (Mad Max Fury Road or The Revenant)
2016: Moonlight - (La La Land)
2018: Green Book - (Roma or The Favourite)
Gravity should definitely have won. What a coincidence that 2 films Alfonso Cuarron won for directing, but did not win Best Picture.

12 Years a Slave is good, but not as good as Gravity or American Hustle. Also, 12 Years a Slave is a typical Oscar-bait movie.

I don't blame him. When "Green Book" started getting all of the major guild wins, a friend and me were discussing how Spike was probably having PTSD reliving the 1989/1990 awards season again, when the Oscars completely ignored "Do the Right Thing" outside of two measly nominations for Acting (Danny Aiello, losing to Denzel Washington) and Screenplay (losing to "Dead Poets Society") in favor of "Driving Miss Daisy", only to something as pedestrian as "Green Book".

Green Book is generic, bland, inoffensive movie whose plot you have already seen many times in movies like Driving Miss Daisy or The Intouchables. It is so predictable that just by looking at the poster you already know that the protagonists end up being friends. One of the worst winners ever.
@@themainbork "Everyone called _Green Book_ an 'old fashioned Oscar contender.' But really, it wasn’t. _Green Book_ was about two great performances. Yes, it was a feel-good movie. Yes, it was about racism from a white perspective and homophobia from a straight perspective. But at the end of the day what sold that movie were the dazzling Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen. _Green Book_ won because people liked it, and they liked it because of the chemistry and charisma of the actors. What other movie did that last year in the same way without reservations? For some, _Roma_ was hard to sit through. _Black Panther_ had no writing or directing nominations. _BlacKkKlansman_ was brilliant but wasn’t exactly feel-good. The hive mind asks voters to think like critics or think like activists in making their decision. Critics that slammed the Academy for choosing _Green Book_ did not also extend their outrage to the other places _Green Book_ won, like the Toronto Audience Award, the National Board of Review, the Globes, or the Producers Guild. Nope, *_all_* the ire went right to the Academy.
An Oscar contender doesn’t just appear out of nowhere-it has to *run the gauntlet."*

I'm black and I enjoyed Green Book
Bad film
GREENBOOK ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Although it sometimes felt a little too simple in a straightforward way, I still love this movie. At the same time that’s also where it’s power is. It has stirred up some controversy but I think that’s a good thing because the message is strong. I think this film was not made to make a white audience feel bad about themselves, showing the absurdity and humiliation of the racist customs in the Deep South of the sixties (although it is both absurd and humiliating), or to make a white audience feel good about themselves that a racist white guy befriends a black guy after overcoming some obstacles. That would not honour what this movie is about. The movie shows two people from completely different worlds overcoming their flaws and prejudices and becoming very good friends. It’s also about common sense, doing what’s right and the value of friendship.
The criticism that the movie received about “telling the story only through the perspective of a white italian/american caricature” is flawed. The movie clearly puts the development of the relationship between both characters in the center. The choice to begin the story with the white character and his world, makes the movie even stronger. Because now we feel what the black character (entering the stage in about a quarter of the film) has to deal and to put up with. Plus it adds to the mystery and alienation of his character. When we also learn that he doesn’t even fit in his ‘own community’ it is clear to see why the movie did’nt start with him.
From reading Lawrence Ware’s (NYT) review I understood that not adressing further the pianist’s sexual incident at the YMCA was a miss. But after hearing another viewpoint from a close friend about it I tend to disagree with Ware. “Sexual orientation is a very private matter” (as she explained to me) “and it should not matter in a friend or work relationship. The film should be about what both men are. Not that one of them has a (for that time) devient orientation. ‘Devient’ sexual orientation is from all times by the way.”
With both characters and their innately awkward relationship at the center of the movie there is a lot to explore and root for. Would it be interesting to start with the pianist and his world? It would take away some of the mystery of his character, yet at the same time give a close and indepth look on the complexity of his situation. Not that we don’t feel this in the current movie. Eventually it comes in strong thanks to a gradual reveal and the inevitable clash between the two. People who say that this film is made to make white people feel good about themselves have completely missed the point. I would even say that in a time where divicive and polarising retoric is used to seperate us even more from one another this film is a very welcome breath of fresh air.
P.S. I haven’t seen all the other movies yet, I thought Black Panther was better then Greenbook and I’m curious to see the others. But I’m happy for the recognition that the Greenbook team received. It’s an important movie. It is time more then ever, that we unite and come together.
Great perspective on the film!
That sure was a long comment. The movie was just one cliche after another. It was trite.
I'm sorry but are you white?
i see only 5 POC on that stage accepting an award for a movie about racism in america, and no thank you for Don Shirley?

I got to say: Bohemian Rhapsody and Black Panthers’ nominations were a surprise to be sure and an unwelcome one. I really like BP but Best Picture nomination is way too far, farther than the entire Pacific and don’t get me started on BR. It’s just a generic biography movie
@DARIUS-PETRU SALE, why should Black Panther win?

I Don't care about haters
I love this movie so much
How did lady Gaga movie even get nominated?
The Academy sometimes understands movies and listens to the public on what should actually be Best Picture
If Bohemian Rhapsody won, it would have been great to hear “We are the Champions” as they walked on to the stage.
If it won, it would have been great for me to off myself
