    I've seen this movie twice and plan on seeing it again in the coming days. The acting was amazing and the music of Dr. Shirley an historical fact I am embarrassed I knew nothing about. I have since ordered his music, and just received a copy of The Negro Travelers' Green Book because I plan to include it in my planning for coming semesters in my classroom. The film and the Green Book are a great springboard for conversation among all of us as we exist in this time of renewed racism and ethnocentrism. The humor in the movie adds to its appeal as entertainment, but doesn't detract from the importance of the story and the depiction of the era--that's a tricky thing to do. I can't remember the last film I saw that ended in applause by the audience, but this one did (both times). Kudos to the creators, producers, actors, and the families of the two main characters who decided their friendship might serve us all. This story leaves me hopeful that each of us has within us the possibility of evolving beyond what we are and toward what we might become.

    Vigo Mortensen, what a breakout performance. To take on a story which was basically the unknown or taboo subject was very courageous. I hope this movie is rewarded and praised for the screenplay and acting.

    Perfect Little Movie that recreates interest in and emotional connection to a subject and time many Americans would like to ignore or think has been overly done. Why, perfect? It has: suspense, humor, surprises, characters you love or hate, relevancy to today's issues, good music, good pacing,and a good ending. Never boring.

    Loved it. It covered every facet of emotion from tears to laughter. Hope it gets an Oscar - touched the heart with a lesson for all.

    A great movie. Best movie I've seen in awhile. It was very funny but sad to see how the blacks were treated in the south.

    A good movie. They do not make so many of them, therefore a must to go out and see it. The acting is outstanding.
