Friendship is an in-depth film that is absolutely thought-provoking. There are many philosophies and classic lines in the
movie. It is worthwhile to calm down and savor. The editor will share the spiritual treasures obtained from the "Green Book" from 5 viewpoints.
1. Disgust is because you don’t understand
. Why do white people hate black people so much? To put it bluntly, it is because "not enough to understand them", with self-righteous insights, to get self-affirmation from degrading others. In the film, whether Tony’s actions are throwing away the cup used by the blacks, or unwilling to help Tang Xueli open the door or carry his luggage, it is precisely because the established values in his bones cannot allow him to provide services and help to the "low people". To defend our dignity.
Do you also unintentionally target certain people, no matter what they do, you will always zoom in infinitely, and you will always only see the wrong place. Try to ask yourself: "Do you know him? Why are you so sure?"
2. Respect for different values
In the play, Tony fired at Tang Xueli more than once, arguing about how things should be done or right or wrong. For example, at the rest station, Tony picked up the "lucky stone" souvenir that fell on the ground and was strongly reprimanded by Tang Xueli. Although he was angry at the moment, he was obedient, but secretly hid the stone and looked at Tang Xueli. In the end, he was glad to accept it.

There are some scars hidden in the heart, even if they are not visible on the surface, they are always revealed unconsciously. After an accident, the angry Tang Xueli yelled to Tony: "I am not black enough, nor white enough, nor man enough, then tell me, what am I?" Words and words went straight to Tony like beads. Tony’s face was smashed. For Tang Xueli, this emotion was undoubtedly a catharsis, exposing his fragility under his calm appearance. After being completely released, he would realize new insights into his future values and outlook on life.
4. Courage is the key to change
In the movie, there are still many segments where blacks suffer unequal treatment.

Between people, sometimes there is no need for any words, "action" means the most sincere care for each other.
"In this world, there are too many lonely people who dare not take the first step."
