奥斯卡颁奖典礼落幕,2019颁奖季画上句号。

《绿皮书》的获奖之旅可以用疯狂来形容了,几乎走遍奥斯卡、金球奖、英国电影学院奖等所有重要大奖领奖台,成为豆瓣近十年评分最高的奥斯卡最佳影片。影片根据真实故事改编,讲述观念、财富、阶级、种族都有着巨大差异的白人司机和黑人音乐家在一场旅程中摆脱偏见成为挚友的故事。

 

两位主人公从互不理解、歧视、斗嘴打闹到最后理解万岁相爱相拥,在友谊和解中完成自我救赎。别出心裁的黑人白人换位设计,概念反差化,有钱与贫困,涵养和粗人,孤独与家庭美满,两个各自种族里的另类在挑战常规的反差中向对方靠近,逐渐放下偏见,真心接纳。真实刻画了有色人种面临的困境,深刻启迪了关于互尊和自尊的内涵。
