GREEN BOOK FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
GREEN BOOK FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION) starring Viggo Mortensen is a cinematic journey that transcends boundaries, showcasing the power of friendship amidst the backdrop of racial tensions in 1960s America.
Set in a pivotal time in U.S. history, the film tells the heartwarming and often humorous story of the unlikely bond that develops between Tony Lip, played by Viggo Mortensen, a rough-around-the-edges Italian-American bouncer, and Dr. Don Shirley, an African American classical pianist portrayed by Mahershala Ali. This duo embarks on a concert tour through the racially charged southern United States, leading to both comedic and touching moments as they navigate prejudice and their own differences.
The film is named after the Green Book, a guide created during the Jim Crow era that advised African Americans on safe travel routes and accommodations while traveling through a segregated country. This historical context adds depth to the narrative, illustrating the challenges faced by Black artists and travelers during this time.
Throughout Green Book, audiences witness the transformation of both characters as they learn from each other. The film delves into themes of friendship, tolerance, and the human capacity for change. It emphasizes the importance of empathy in overcoming societal barriers and biases, making it a relevant piece for today’s audiences.
Directed by Peter Farrelly, the film has received critical acclaim not only for its storytelling but also for the exceptional performances of its main cast. Viggo Mortensen delivers a powerful portrayal of Tony Lip, showcasing his character's growth from a man entrenched in his own biases to someone who learns to embrace differences and forge a genuine connection with Dr. Shirley. On the other hand, Mahershala Ali adds depth and nuance to the role of the refined yet isolated pianist, effectively highlighting the social struggles he faces as a Black artist navigating a segregated society.
The film has garnered numerous nominations and awards, including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Mahershala Ali, showcasing its impact on both viewers and critics alike. Green Book not only entertains but also educates audiences on an important historical topic, prompting discussions about racial equality and the significance of understanding different perspectives in a pluralistic society.
As the awards season approaches, Green Book FYC serves as a reminder of the film’s heartfelt storytelling and its vital message about the necessity for compassion and camaraderie in an often divided world. It stands as a testament to the lasting impact of cinema in shaping conversations around social change.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
