    Green Book Sur les routes du Sud un film de Peter Farrelly Dossier pédagogique Un film soutenu par AU CINÉMA LE 23 JANVIER © Metropolitan Filmexport © Metropolitan reen Book : sur les routes du Sud, le premier film réalisé en solo par Peter Farrelly (connu pour les comédies burlesques signées avec son frère Bob) raconte l’histoire vraie du périple vécu par le pianiste noir Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali) et son chauffeur Tony « Lip » (Viggo Mortensen) dans l’Amérique de la ségrégation. Entre comédie et road movie, le film raconte une histoire Gd’amitié drôle et émouvante, dont la simplicité apparente ne doit pas faire oublier l’élégance de la mise en scène et la profondeur du propos. À tra- vers l’amitié improbable entre les deux hommes, c’est un pan d’histoire et une réflexion sur la tolérance et l’ouverture que le film nous propose. Une histoire simple Loin des vastes fresques historiques (12 years a slave, Le majordome) ou des films « à discours » Lincoln( , Selma, The Birth of a nation) qui ont porté à l’écran l’histoire des Afro-Américains sous les deux mandats de Barack Obama, Green book : sur les routes du Sud de Peter Farrelly est une histoire simple mettant en scène des personnages ordinaires. Le film est tiré d’une histoire vraie, celle du père du scénariste Nick Vallelonga : à l’automne 1962, Tony Vallelonga (alias « Tony Lip », comme on le surnommait alors), enfant de la communauté italo-américaine du Bronx et videur dans une boîte de nuit, se retrouva, par un concours de circonstances, engagé par le pianiste virtuose Do- nald Walbridge Shirley.

  • Who's Dumb? Who's Dumber? Beck Or Yates?
    Who's dumb? Who's dumber? Beck or Yates? Marty Trillhaase/Lewiston Tribune Not since Jim Carrey hooked up with Jeff Daniels have we seen a pairing quite like Bonneville County Republican Party Chairman Doyle Beck and state GOP Chairman Steve Yates. As in, you know, "Dumb and Dumber." First there's dumb: Beck has accused Yates and several other eastern Idaho Republicans of creating a "secret society" with the aim of ousting him from the local GOP chairmanship. Beck wanted to compel Yates and the others to answer questions under oath about a three-page outline titled "The Idaho Prosperity Project," which talked about raising $100,800 and spending it to "change the balance of power in Idaho politics to favor a stable, constructive majority." Had senior 7th District Judge Richard St. Clair last week not wisely blocked those attempts, it would have transformed a law meant to preserve the testimony of gravely ill witnesses into a political weapon and undermined the First Amendment. So Beck came up with Plan B - releasing a 39-minute videotape he surreptitiously recorded of his Nov. 22 conversation with Yates. Legal? Yes. Creepy? Definitely. But how weird is it to have Beck - who accuses other people of engaging in untoward clandestine behavior - going one better in the skulduggery department? And where's the smoking gun? Stick with this for 39 minutes and all you wind up with is a water pistol. Throughout their Q&A, Yates sounds like he may know some details of the insurrection against Beck and his supporters. Then Beck bores in on the key question: "But you're not a part of it." Yates: "I'm not.

Plater * Abstract: Surveying the history of citizen environmentalism in the context of environmental law and politics over the past fifty years, this essay hypothesizes five different categories of corporate, governmental, political, and individual actions that deserve to be called “dumb,” and the societal lessons that have been or could be learned from each. If there is truth to the wistful aphorism that “we learn from our mistakes,” then our society is in position to learn a great deal about our world and how it works, which perhaps provides some ground for hope for the years to come.

  • Green Book the Movies Love an Odd Couple; Dozens, If Not Scores, Of
    Green Book The movies love an odd couple; dozens, if not scores, of films have explored the opening friction and the eventual connection between two disparate characters. The latest, and it is a most satisfying one, is “Green Book,” a road movie showing how, in 1962, a lug from the Bronx and a Jamaican jazz pianist roamed the American South in a weeks-long concert tour. Viggo Mortensen as the tough guy and Mahershala Ali as the pianist carry off their contrasting roles with, respectively, raw charm and taut grace. The set-up is simple. A nightclub bouncer, Frank Vallelonga (Mortenson)—better known as “Tony Lip”--needs a job and hooks up, somewhat implausibly (although this is based on a true story), as a chauffeur for an erudite pianist, the real composer and performer Don Shirley. Their first encounter is a job interview at Carnegie Hall, where Dr. Shirley (Ali) resides, nicely presenting the gulf between the two men. Shirley’s tour will take him and his high-toned jazz trio for their first bookings in the South, still seriously segregated. Segregated enough that Tony must bring along the “Green Book,” a cautionary listing compiled for African-American travelers of where they will be welcome in the South. The film then becomes a road picture that takes us through the vagaries of their travels, where they encounter casual racism, blatant bigotry, appreciative audiences, and themselves. They fence, they bicker, they bond. They ultimately contribute to each other. Tony loosens Dr. Shirley up and protects him bodily in tense stand-offs and during breakdowns, while the latter introduces the former to artistic genius then also helps Tony to write touching letters to his wife Dolores (a lovely Linda Cardenelli).
