Green Book is not the film I ever
expected to see director Peter Farrelly make when I first watched There’s Something About Mary many years
ago, and it certainly isn’t the film I expected to win Best Picture for this
past year. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprise, considering this makes three
years in a row that the Academy has given the award to a film about diversity
and discrimination (The Shape of Water may
not directly be about race, but I think the allegory is clear). Green Book seems far from the best film
of the year, but it is a safe choice in terms of balancing audience enjoyment
and social message.
