@filmenthusiast: Seven years ago today, Green Book was released in theaters, Peter Farrelly's road-trip drama that would go on to win three Oscars at the 91st Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor for Mahershala Ali. Ali's performance as Dr. Don Shirley, the dignified concert pianist touring the 1962 segregated South, is widely considered the film's standout element, balancing refined elegance with emotional vulnerability and suppressed inner conflict. Composer Kris Bowers not only scored the film but also taught Ali basic piano skills and served as the hand double for all closeup shots. A phenomenal performance that elevated the entire film. 🎹
