A classic success story where two people with opposite upbringings, personalities, and values ​​connect with each other

A movie is about depicting the ``arc'' of the characters. The word ``Arc'' comes up frequently when interviewing filmmakers, and its meaning is ``a growth curve that draws an arc.'' It can be said that Arch is synonymous with Arch. In a single work, characters change their inner lives through their interactions with others and the fate in front of them. How can we share this change with the people watching the film? It is this arc that is imposed on many films that depict humans. The arc pursued in the script can sometimes be taken to another dimension by the director's direction and the actors' performances.

``Green Book'' is a work that can be said to be an example of Ark's great success. The year is 1962. Dr. Donald Shirley, a black pianist, goes on a concert tour throughout the American South. Tony Lip, an Italian, was hired as the tour's driver. You could say that these two are ``complete opposites'' in every way.

The doctor is an elite man who lives in a luxury apartment above Carnegie Hall in New York and holds a doctorate in psychology and music. Tony, on the other hand, is uneducated and has a rough personality, and shows his strength as a bouncer at a nightclub. What's more, he has a sense of discrimination against black people, but he accepts the job as the doctor's driver for a fee. The two people, who are so contrasting in their race, personality, way of life, and values, connect with each other through their journey. The development is as everyone expected.

The development of these two ``opposite people'' involuntarily deepening their bond through a journey is a ``standard'' in movies. "Midnight Cowboy " (69), " Scarecrow " (73) starring Gene Hackman, a nervous man who has just been released from prison, and Al Pacino, a cheerful ex-sailor, and his autistic brother Dustin Hoffman and his brother's inheritance. One after another comes to mind masterpieces such as Tom Cruise's ``Rain Man '' (1988), in which a younger brother tries to steal his father's life, and the German movie `` Knockin' on Heaven's Door' ' (1997), in which two men who are given a life expectancy head for the sea.
