I don't remember Mr. Rogers having such a raspy voice. But oranges are delicious.

This response makes me want to fall out of a chair and drop an orange.

Give up.
I'm sorry, denim. I just thought the Jim Crow comparison was a bit too much, like you were trying to take a shot at me for liking the movie.

I don't know what your deal is mattias, but the passive aggressive, I'm not your buddy, I'm not your pal name calling stuff is juvenile.

Sorry I don't agree with you.
It's called acting, buddy. Brits doing American accents, Americans doing British accents, it happens in every other movie. What you saw as a caricature I thought was a believable performance that made me invested in the character. It's not like he dressed up in redface and everyone gave an approving thumbs up.
While I'm thinking about Green Book...

How is Mortensen's caricature of an Italian American acceptable either? At least Maniscalco is real.
Speaking of The Mahershalalhashbaz Ali.

How can I get excited about TD s3? Have you seen those wigs?

If you judge a biography movie on inaccuries you'd have to write off a lot of great ones. You have to judge biopics less like a professor and more like experiences, like pretty much any other movie that's made. Green Book is great because of the brilliant interplay between Mortensen and Ali's characters, and because it's a genuinely heartwarming tale without wrapping itself up in sentimentality. One of my favorite movies of 2018.
Everybody is entitled to their opinion, so if you think it's great, it is.

I'm bright enough to know, you can't bait the tension of racial inequality without adding any weight to the proceedings.

You can keep the happy go-lucky Jim Crow movies.
I was kinda surprised to see Jeremy Jahns underscribe the movie. I didn't think the main character was "cold" or hard to connect to at all. He does try to keep a straight face, but there are definitely parts where Armstrong loses it as well.
Kind of sad that something as meticulously crafted, character centered and daringly recontextualizing as First Man seems to only be drawing attention for it’s (brilliant, make no mistake) score.
Not to mention it's pretty ****ing funny as well.
