How to evaluate Don Shelley in Green Book? What kind of personality is he?

The hero, Don Shelley, is not only a rich, educated and sociable pianist, but also a brave, self-respecting and caring boss. Shelley was born in Florida, the son of Jamaican immigrants, priests and teachers. He became interested in the piano when he was two and a half years old, and played the organ in the church very early. After his nine-year-old mother died, he went to St. Petersburg National Conservatory of Music to study music theory. Later, he studied composition at American Catholic University in Washington and became a famous musician.

In the film, a friend of Dr. Shelley once said that talent alone is not enough. It takes courage to change people's minds. "Because of this, Dr. Shelley chose to give up three times his salary to travel to the south. He wants to clear his name and that black man's name. He is lonely, white people discriminate against him, black people don't know him, but he is also very lucky. After this trip, he has a real friend who is willing to protect his friend. He is no longer lonely. In the future, he will have his own dreams and "change people's hearts" with the support of his friends.

In the film, the black piano doctor is the elite of the upper class. He is noble, calm, cautious, respected and has great ideals: to improve racial prejudice and help black people regain their dignity. Tony is a nightclub worker and has been a member of the lower class for a long time. He speaks badly, misbehaves, tends to be violent, discriminates against blacks, and even throws away a glass of water that blacks have drunk at home. He just works for a black piano doctor. The exchange of two natural roles and the dislocation of characters' identities have formed a very interesting contrast and shaped typical characters.

Shelley was highly educated and had a high artistic accomplishment. His high position and self-esteem don't allow him to do anything indecent. But after being with Tony, he is also willing to bend down and try to eat fried chicken in his hand and enjoy it. Face up to your identity. After the trip, get up the courage to stay at home and celebrate Christmas.
