Amidst rampant racism in 1960s southern America. An African American Pianist hires an Italian bouncer to drive him through venues. They become closer in the course of their journey.

Based on the true story of a 1962 journey of the Deep South by African American Pianist, Don Shirley and Italian American Bouncer and later actor, Frank “Tony Lip” Vallelonga

Directed by Peter Farrelly

Starring Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali

A tale of friendship featuring a bouncer and a pianist (Very unlikely pair)

I had this on my list for a long time. Let me confess, I watched this movie cause of Viggo Mortensen. As a Lord of the Rings fan that I am, I cannot forget Aragorn son of Arathorn. Viggo is Aragorn so I had to see this one.

Great movie. Life was hard for blacks in the 1960s o, racism on all fronts and it was really ugly to watch, talk more of experience.

I love the plot, gives you a lot to think about at the end if you pay attention.

 I appreciate good drama when I see one just to relish good storytelling.  No be every time be guns guns and actions 

Something to unwind after a long day’s work.
