You’re so right. I met one of my very best friends 49 years ago under similar circumstances. She taught me so much about fashion and proper etiquette. Over the years, we’ve shared so much more together. She’s been a true blessing to my life.
@@alexong2542 actually, that's one type of Italian, in a specific time, in a specific place. Stereotypes may be funny sometimes, but of course they are not completely true. And Italy, with all its different local identities, cultures and dialects, it's far more varied (and complicated) than what it's pictured here and in many other foreign (from an Italian viewpoint, of course) movies.
The chemistry between the two is so naturally wonderful! How Tony looked up to Don and took the role of protector so very strongly - and how Don was trying to share his sophisticated world view with Tony. Marvelous!
I use to write letters for the guys that could not write in prison. I wrote a letter for an older mexican man, to his wife. As a kind gesture. He was surprised by my offer and once he got use to it, we composed some really nice letters to her. She was very happy to get the letters. His whole family wrote him letters. Other inmates learned of this and requested my help. Once everybody knew about it, I made many friends writting letters and helping the under educated people get things done that required writting etc. Inmates came to me for advice. It helped me pass the time and made things easier for everybody.
My father had a similar experience. He was branded "unreliable/enemy of the state" during the communist days. As a result when he got conscripted for his mandatory army service he was sent to the worst army camp. It was filled with gypsies, illiterate people, etc. He would help the other soldiers write letters to their families. This was in communist Bulgaria in the late 1980s. Btw, the actor who plays the Russian musician in the movie is also Bulgarian.
I watched this at the weekend, a truly well written, crafted and acted film. I’d advise anyone with an ounce of civility about them to settle back, relax and enjoy this movie. You won’t be disappointed.
@@TreeSymphony52 It should have been a normal thing, of course. Unfortunately, at this time period when Jim Crow laws were rampant, it wasn’t. People crave stories about people who break down racial barriers with friendship and understanding. This is why the story of Don Shirley and Tony Lip is appealing to people
He's totally right though. That PS was perfect. When you make a huge move in any performing act: whether you're debating and drop a huge rhetorical bomb, or reciting a song and hit the high note perfect, or write a beautiful love letter to your wife, putting in a small, almost irrelevant thing just after it creates a funny way of contrasting it with the big moment you created. Its in a lot of music, too. You reach the explosive end of a song, and instead of ending it there, you have a small, 2-3 note little bullshit that you tack onto the end. Its funny and it makes the explosion seem bigger by comparison.
I just love this! They’re both learning about one another and supporting each other. I only hope they have more movies together! They have such an amazing chemistry!
I loved this movie! These 2 guys from such different backgrounds developed such a friendship for each other it made me cry, both are better for the friendship!
Honestly, I think the “PS” can be the best part of a letter. It’s breaks the formality and gives it a genuine feeling. When I was writing my family while traveling, PS was the part of the letter I loved the most.
I love the scene. the relationship between them. "PS. Kiss kid" show how Tony love their family and it make Don know about this. Tony is an impulsive person but he care his family a lot. "Perfect" is the best word to describe all. I also think Dolores cry because she know that Don help her husband write the letter. This mean Tony change his mind about black person.
I met this young women at my first class in college and I am still seeing her today.(well actually in few weeks). Is that love? In its own way. Life intrudes. But the magic does not.
Just like he said "Do it in a manner no one else has done before" and what Tony suggested at the end was exactly that, so his "it's perfect, Tony" was not sarcastic
Fall in love with you is the easiest thing I ever done, I've ever done nothing matters to me but you and every day I'm alive I'm aware of this. I loved the day I met you, I love you today and i will love you the rest of my life.
This is the start of the kind of friendship that lasts a lifetime.
hope they're rest in peace together now
And it did exactly that lol
And they died the same year, the same month

They actually hated each other in real life
*"You know this is pathetic, right?!"*
- Love it! 😁😊👏🏻
We all need an honest wing man in our lives, hahaha

I like how the wife knew it wasn’t really from him.
Wives know us better than we know ourselves!
@@cnb4110 They always will.
But she loved the fact that he tried. And that too from a man he was technically being employed by.
Linda Cardellini has the range
Anirban Bhattacharya yep!!! I wish every man could be aware of how the intention is actually more important to us
Italian guy convinced black man to fried chicken for the first time. Black man helps Italian guy write a thankful letter to his wife.
The opposite would have been playing to stereotype.
@@andrew_owens7680 you sure? Cuz whenever I picture an Italian in my head, it's similar to the Italians pprtrayed in this movie, hahahaha

@@arthurdaffos1490 yeah, we are "quite" varied as a population ^^.
@@mrmaster9801
My great grandfather was a Croatian/Yugoslav immigrant. Very similar over on the other side of the Adriatic.
That P.S. at the end was perfect, lol. The look on Doc's face is priceless.
It was literally perfect. If he didn't add anything to it, it wouldn't be his letter.
“Right... that’s good.” “That’s perfect Tony.”
There’s something about this movie that will follow me for a lifetime
Dang couldnt agree more.
It can be hard to shed all those KFC calories, for sure.
It must be the whole cross country tour and jazz thing

I did this for people when I was in prison. Everyday I had a stack of letters inmates wanted me to proofread for their girlfriends
Please tell me you charged 😂😂
Put it this way I made more friends than enemies. I didn’t have a fee. We had trade agreements
What were you in there for?
Drugs are bad mmmmmmkay
Hey, this is actually fun!
Beautiful acting by Mahershala Ali. In his words he said "Its not about you. It's about the character, it about serving the story."
I watched this at the weekend, a truly well written, crafted and acted film.
I’d advise anyone with an ounce of civility about them to settle back, relax and enjoy this movie. You won’t be disappointed.
Agreed, such a wholesome and endearing film.
Agreed! One of the best films I've seen in a LONG time! :)

@@RICO_SUAVE_86_ i heard president camacho is the greatest president of all time, is this true?
@@nicklasastrom233 that's got damn right pal 😉
1:07 I like how Don just says it's 'perfect', seeing it fits Tony's personality to put P.S. at the end of his letter.
Indeed, without it it would be great letter, but it would not be from Tony, this is Tonys heart added to it.

It also gave the veneer of authenticity to the letter. The PS assured her it was from him, if only in spirit.
Great point. Well written my man.👍👍Thank you for posting 🙏🙏🙏
What is writed in his p.s tho?
Seriously i can rrly hear english speaker

That’s what every girl wants to hear lol
turned into a british house lmao
Their friendship proves that oil and water, do in fact, mix. RIP Doc and Tony.
God I love Ali in everything he does, he has such presence.
I don't know why but this is the best scene to me.This makes my heart refresh Everytime I see this
I just love this! They’re both learning about one another and supporting each other. I only hope they have more movies together! They have such an amazing chemistry!
"Thats like clinging a cowbell at the end of Shostakovich's 7th"
Right! That’s good…
I got a fever…
See, every end of a love letter needs a little cowbell. *Facts!*
street smart and book smart. love this duo.
😊
one of the best movies I've seen in years!
"Deer Dolores, d-e-a-r this is an animal"
gets me every time lol
It’s perfect Tony.
From Aragorn to Tony. The acting range of Viggo Mortensen.
I loved this movie! These 2 guys from such different backgrounds developed such a friendship for each other it made me cry, both are better for the friendship!
Best part about this scene is that nice suit he’s wearing !!!!
Such a good movie about friendship and camaraderie
This scene inspired me to write a whole set of poems to my crush, she got bored with me before I showed them to her
That's good.
....thats perfect Tony.
I love it because they are both extremely smart men. Just in a different way.
Their relationship is actually really good. They are the perfect duo
I loved this movie, its so beautiful. The characters are so lovable. Great acting. Definitely deserved the oscar win rightfully.
God, this movie is so perfect.
I bet that this is the scene that earned the movie Best Picture!
Dear Dolores, when I think of your name, I am reminded of your....
Mahershala played this role to perfection !!
Honestly, I think the “PS” can be the best part of a letter. It’s breaks the formality and gives it a genuine feeling. When I was writing my family while traveling, PS was the part of the letter I loved the most.
“Dear, this is an animal” 💀😂
When You Get The Right Wingman
I need someone like Ali in my life....
This movie has a special place in my soul, can’t explain it
Can’t describe how much i need someone like don right now
I love the scene. the relationship between them.
"PS. Kiss kid" show how Tony love their family and it make Don know about this. Tony is an impulsive person but he care his family a lot.
"Perfect" is the best word to describe all.
I also think Dolores cry because she know that Don help her husband write the letter. This mean Tony change his mind about black person.
Mortesen and Ali they are gold.
This movie is truly a hidden gem.
a film that comes along every 10 years ........
Thank you for helping him with the letters
I love the way he nonchalantly says "this is an animal" 😂
I laugh hard every time I see this. "You know this is pathetic, right?"
"you know this is an animal right?" 😂😂😂😂
One of my very favorite scenes from the movie.
there are so many good lines in this movie istg
Dear is not an animal. Deer is an animal.
Always write what you want to write. Obviously, can always get an idea but always write or say what you feel.
0:33
"Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers.."
"What?"
Finally taking each other...as they are...and being satisfied.

It's been said that people that hate each other later on become good friends
One of my favorite films 💓
The perfect wingman doesn’t exi....
This movie was PERFECT
I love this scene the most😌
Same
I need that Don Shirley fit🔥🔥🔥 been saying that since i first saw this scene
Me too. That's my new Set.
Fall in love with you is the easiest thing I ever done, I've ever done nothing matters to me but you and every day I'm alive I'm aware of this. I loved the day I met you, I love you today and i will love you the rest of my life.
"that's perfect tony"
is my favorite line :D
Real friendship talk
So Tony loves his classical music with cowbells at the end 😂
Brilliant - Love this movie!
the P.S. bit is my favorite. gotta keep it authentic.
never heard of this movie till youtube spammed me with it. Actually appreciate it, loving every clip. Guess I know what I am watching this weekend.
How was it?
I saw this motion picture for the first time and I loved it.
aaragorn surely has his way with words
This scene I watched More than 10 times ❤️
Viggooo❤️❤️❤️
This movie is just so well made
"Right, and that's good,"
"It's perfect Tony,"
You do know this is pathetic, right? ...that line always gets me.
Dear Slim, I wrote you but still ain't callin'
Fried chicken is the bomb.
Someone please recommend movies like this
ill try but can you be more specific? :)
- How much soul do you want a movie to have?
- Yes!
So expressive!
"It's perfect Tony."
😂😂😂
Idk, i think his original text was endearing. He was just telling his best friend literally what was on his mind and what he was doing.
Man, Hawkeye is going to be furious that Aragorn is writing love letters to his wife...
It was in lala land during the 'dust' period
With Blade helping him, no less.
Haha lol
An interesting dialogue! Kudos to the time machine...characterization in this movie was everything... an excellent movie...
This movie was perfect.
God I want to see this movie
It amazing movie
You won't regret it
Best movie I've seen in year and I didn't even know it won the Oscar.
Just watched it. Definitely one of my faves
To quote my one buddy "when you care about her, it's effortless to put in the effort".
