> 24 hourThe story line was very well written and the actors performances were ... well, I cant come up with a word to describe what phenomenal job they did bringing these characters to life. Based on a true story, too, showing how two people from different worlds become lifelong friends. Many laughs and heart-warming moments.

> 24 hourThis movie kept popping up on my Fire TV recommendations. Although Im a big fan of Viggo Mortensen, I felt it was a reverse Driving Miss Daisy. (Which is much better than what liberals would admit it is). This movie floored me. Funny, touching and accurate. I would recommend this to anyone.

> 24 hourOne of my top five all time hits. Mahershala Ali won the Academy award for his portrayal of Dr. Don Shirley a black classical pianist and Viggo Mortensen was nominated and should have won for his portrayal of Tony the Lip. Mortensen has lost his job as a bouncer at the famed Copacabana. He has a family to support and applies for the position of driving Ali around the south to perform. The green book is for blacks and details motels, hotels and restaurants that cater to blacks travelling down south, for this is Jim Crow times. Lovely scene when Tony finds out that Shirley lives in Carnegie Hall and sees the very exquisite rooms that Shirley lives in. They are confronted with the racism of the times, Ali can perform on stage but not eat in the restaurants or use the washrooms at the places he performs in. Viggo is assisted by Ali when he is asked to write home, the letters get better with Alis assistance. The last concert is at a restaurant and Ali gets a small closet to dress in, when he is told he cant eat at the restaurant but they will bring food to his dressing room the 2 leave and enter a black establishment with music, Ali performs in an astounding performance and after when they leave, Tony shoots his gun to scare off a robber. There are many great scenes, in one hotel, Tony meets some friends who tell him they will pay him extra to work for them, they speak in Italian and put down Shirley, Tony is surprised that Shirley also speaks and understands what they said, he offers him more money but Tony turns it down. another great scene is when Shirley goes to a white bar for a drink is confronted by some racists. The trip home to reach New York is very difficult with snow conditions, but Shirley drives Tony home just before Christmas, Shirley comes back to Tonys home for Christmas celebration. This is remarkable for it is based on fact, the 2 remained friends for many years. I purchased a couple of Don Shirleys music cds. This film is one of the best of the decade. Virtuoso performances by the cast.
