Green Book/ Philadelphia

06:27:00

It seems that the firmest prejudices are among those who have the least knowledge on the subject. The biggest racists are those who have no friends or acquaintances among black people. The biggest homophobes are those whose fears are based on urban legends, not actual experiences of knowing gay couples. Your eyes open only when you happen to witness. Your knowledge and testimony are worth only when you have actual experience. And then you can change your mind and often stop idolizing those who grew in your perception to the level of heroes. Befriending those whom you previously unfairly despised of or were afraid of seems to be the greatest proof of humility and humanity. This is how society changes. It starts with one man and spreads throughout nations. How two worlds crashed and overcame racism and homophobia in divided America? Two best movies of two generations, Green Book and Philadelphia.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
