please give a oscar to this beautiful friendship history

Excellent historical biographical movie with a dose of Hollywood...

Viggo Mortensen was phenomenal! One of the best acting performances I have seen in my life.

Loved every bit of this movie. I had no idea it was based on real people, but what a great story. Mahershala and Viggo were fantastic.

It shows the pain of being different and how it feels to be discriminated and the humiliation that comes with it.

Ah yes, last year’s Oscar winner for Best Picture. Had not gotten around to watch it yet, because I was a bit afraid that I wouldn’t like it. The first half I was still being sceptical, but around the midway point in this movie, as the friendship between Tony (Viggo Mortenson) and Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali, deservedly winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor) takes a turn into deeper and personal emotions, this movie becomes something more. It’s really something special, and all it took is some excellent casting to bring this story to the screen. I had a hard time believing that something like this really happened, but it did. Of course they took some liberties to make the story better for the screen, you have to or it doesn’t sell. But it’s there. You love them for their qualities and dislike them for the faults they show, but you always end up liking them more and more because of how they push themselves to accept these faults and try to do something about them. At the end, they are changed men, but still the same. And I think that’s really beautiful.
This movie has my favourite quote of the week.
Frank “Tony Lip” Vallelonga: “The world’s full of lonely people afraid to make the first move.”

**Beautiful.** Reminds you that opposition creates a drive for intellect and pride in one's fundamentals.

I liked...
The subject of racism is a dense one....
Several films have approached the subject in a similar way, but the touch of not feeling identified with one "world" and another really appealed to me....
The loneliness and emptiness that must be felt in such a position, must be difficult...
Tony reminded me of the sopranos....
In general the aesthetics and so on, I liked...

Excellent movie .. of two men each in their world, who try to understand each other and negach in Seder in their worlds, ... recommended. 👍

Amazing story of clash of two separate worlds - racially, intellectually even personally. It's a nice reminder in today's times to be kinder and open to the other person and above all be curious of their way of doing things, way of thinking and be influenced in a positive way.
It's a beautiful story of a friendship which wouldn't happen unless fate interfering.
