Green Book
Green Book is a 2018 American comedy-drama film directed by Peter Farrelly. Starring Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali, the biographical film is inspired by the true story of a 1962 tour of the Deep South by African-American pianist Don Shirley and Italian-American bouncer and later actor Frank Tony Lip Vallelonga, who served as Shirley's driver and bodyguard. In the autumn of 1962, in the Bronx, Tony Lip searches for new employment while the Copacabana is closed for renovations, and he is invited to an interview with Shirley, who needs a driver for his eight-week concert tour through the Midwest and Deep South. Mortensen plays Tony and Ali plays Shirley, with Linda Cardellini as Tony's wife Dolores and Sebastian Maniscalco as her brother Johnny. The script, written by Farrelly with Lip's son Nick Vallelonga and Brian Hayes Currie, draws on interviews and Lip's letters to his wife. It is named after The Negro Motorist Green Book, a guide book for African-American travelers published from 1936 to 1966. Green Book had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, 2018, where it won the People's Choice Award, and Universal Pictures released it in the United States on November 16, 2018. It won the Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor for Ali.
