What to Know About the Controversy Surrounding the Movie Green Book

Depending on who you ask, Green Book is either the pinnacle of movie magic or a whitewashing sham.

The film, which took home the prize for Best Picture at the 91st Academy Awards, as well as honors for Mahershala Ali as Best Supporting Actor and Nick Vallelonga, Brian Currie and Peter Farrelly for Best Original Screenplay, depicts the burgeoning friendship between a black classical pianist and his ItalianAmerican driver as they travel the 1960s segregated South on a concert tour. But while Green Book was an awards frontrunner all season, its road to Oscar night was riddled with missteps and controversies over its authenticity and racial politics.

Green Book is about the relationship between two real-life people: Donald Shirley and Tony “Lip” Vallelonga. Shirley was born in 1927 and grew up in a well-off black family in Florida, where he emerged as a classical piano prodigy: he possessed virtuosic technique and a firm grasp of both classical and pop repertoire. He went on to perform regularly at Carnegie Hall— right below his regal apartment—and work with many prestigious orchestras, like the Chicago Symphony and the New York Philharmonic. But at a time when prominent black classical musicians were few and far between due to racist power structures, he never secured a spot in the upper echelons of the classical world. (African Americans still only make up 1.8 percent of musicians playing in orchestras nationwide, according to a recent study.)

Vallelonga was born in 1930 to working-class Italian parents and grew up in the Bronx. As an adult he worked as a bouncer, a maître d’ and a chauffeur, and he was hired in 1962 to drive Shirley on a concert tour through the Jim Crow South. The mismatched pair spent one and a half years together on the road — though it’s condensed to just a couple of months in the film — wriggling out of perilous situations and learning about each other’s worlds. Vallelonga would later become an actor and land a recurring role on The Sopranos.

In the 1980s, Vallelonga’s son, Nick, approached his father and Shirley about making a movie about their friendship. For reasons that are now contested, Shirley rebuffed these requests at the time. […]

Comentários

Nesta questão o candidato deve demonstrar sua habilidade de interpretação de texto, classificando as assertivas feitas pela banca em verdadeiro (T - TRUE) ou falso. (F - FALSE). Em seguida, ele deve indicar a alternativa correspondente à sequência encontrada.

O texto fala sobre a controvérsia envolvendo o filme Green Book. De acordo com o subtítulo: enquanto alguns o enxergam como uma obra prima do cinema, outros o criticam alegando tratar-se de uma farsa que atenua o racismo sofrido pelos afro-americanos.
O primeiro parágrafo cita os prêmios recebidos pelo filme e traz um breve resumo de seu enredo. O segundo parágrafo explica que o filme conta a história real de amizade entre Donald Shirley e Tony "Lip" Vallelonga e descreve brevemente a vida do pianista Donald Shirley. O terceiro parágrafo, por sua vez, traz uma breve biografia de Vallelonga. Por fim, o trecho do quarto parágrafo conta que, na década de 80, Shirley teria negado os pedidos do filho de Vallelonga de fazer um filme sobre a história deles.

Vejamos as assertivas:

(F) The movie is based on a fanciful story.
FALSO. O filme se baseia em uma história real. “(…) Green Book is about the relationship between two real-life people (…)".

(T) The artist lived in a fancy apartment on top of a famous hall.
VERDADEIRO. Sim, o artista vivia em um apartamento régio sobre o Carnegie Hall. “(...) He went on to perform regularly at Carnegie Hall— right below his regal apartment— (…)".

(F) The pianist guaranteed a permanent position with top orchestras.
FALSO. O pianista jamais conseguiu um lugar no alto escalão da música clássica. “(...) But at a time when prominent black classical musicians were few and far between due to racist power structures, he never secured a spot in the upper echelons of the classical world. (…)".
A alternativa correta é aquela que apresenta a sequência F– T – F, ou seja, a ALTERNATIVA E .

GABARITO DO PROFESSOR: LETRA E.
I - fanciful story (fantasiosa) - false - It was based on a true story
II - The artist lived in a fancy apartment on top of a famous hall. - True - fancy means "chique" in portuguese. He went on to perform regularly at Carnegie Hall— right below his regal apartment (regal - exuberante)
III- "The pianist guaranteed a permanent position with top orchestras" IS FALSE BECAUSE "he never secured a spot in the upper echelons of the classical world"
Acertei a questão, mas fiquei na dúvida quanto a alternativa II ser F. Isso porque no Texto ele diz:

He went on to perform regularly at Carnegie Hall— right below his regal apartment

Se o apartamento é embaixo do Carnegie Hall então a alternativa está errada já que ela diz:

II - The artist lived in a fancy apartment on top of a famous hall.

Logo isso daria margem para anular a questão.

Caso alguém tenha visto algo diferente por favor complemente aqui nos comentários.
RESPOSTA: LETRA E

( ) The movie is based on a fanciful story.
( ) O filme é baseado em uma história fantasiosa.

ERRADO

Foi uma história real:

he film, which took home the prize for Best Picture at the 91st Academy Awards, as well as honors for Mahershala Ali as Best Supporting Actor and Nick Vallelonga, Brian Currie and Peter Farrelly for Best Original

O filme, que levou para casa o prêmio de Melhor Filme no 91º Oscar, bem como honras de Mahershala Ali como Melhor Ator Coadjuvante e Nick Vallelonga, Brian Currie e Peter Farrelly de Melhor Roteiro Original,

( ) The artist lived in a fancy apartment on top of a famous hall.
() O artista morava em um apartamento chique no topo de um corredor famoso.

CERTO
O corredor famoso ficava abaixo do apartamento

... e went on to perform regularly at Carnegie Hall— right below his regal apartment—and work with many prestigious orchestras,
... e passou a se apresentar regularmente no Carnegie Hall - logo abaixo de seu apartamento real - e trabalhar com muitas orquestras de prestígio,

( ) The pianist guaranteed a permanent position with top orchestras.
() O pianista garantiu uma posição permanente com orquestras de primeira linha.

ERRADO

Foi justamente o contrário

But at a time when prominent black classical musicians were few and far between due to racist power structures, he never secured a spot in the upper echelons of the classical world.

Mas em uma época em que músicos clássicos negros proeminentes eram poucos e distantes entre si devido a estruturas de poder racistas, ele nunca garantiu um lugar nos escalões superiores do mundo clássico.
