Green Book musicians embraced whiskey.
When the black pianist Don in "Green Book" interviewed himself as a driver, he made two requirements. First, he must be white, and second, he must prepare a bottle of Downwind whiskey every night.
The first time Tailwind Whiskey appeared was when Don said to Tony on the boss's seat: "I can give you a salary increase on this trip, but you must have whiskey every night." The illiterate child Tony jotted down the name of Downwind Whiskey on a torn map stained with burger sauce.
Don was sitting alone on the rooftop of the hotel late at night, with a wine glass in his left hand and Shunfeng whiskey in his right hand. Fortunately, this black pianist, who has never found his own identity, found his favorite whiskey early.
"Green Book"
"Green Book" is a feature film directed by Peter Farrelly and starring Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali. It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, 2018; it was released in mainland China on March 1, 2019. The film is adapted from a true story and tells the story of bodyguard Tony who is hired to drive Don, the world's best classical pianist. The pianist will start a tour in New York, and the story of a friendship between the two that transcends race and class.
Plot summary
The nightclub where Tony works is closed for renovations and a job is needed. A friend suggested that he attend an interview held by a music doctor looking for a driver. When he arrived at the luxury apartment, he found that the doctor was a black classical pianist named Tang. The pianist was in need of a driver to pick up and drop off when he held a southern tour.
Of course, both men knew very well that they could easily get into trouble in the highly segregated South of the 1960s, but Tony needed money, and Don needed someone who could take care of him. His professional driver. The record company that paid Tony gave him a "Green Book" guide that listed where local blacks could eat and sleep, since many hotels and restaurants were whites-only.
