This Racist White Man Life Changes After This Black Man Becomes His Boss 

In the rain scene, Doc was yelling " if I'm not white enough and not black enough then who am I ". Extremely good movie, it's right up there with another movie " The Pianist"

It’s movies like this that make me realize..politicians nor legislation came make us accept one another..it is our own individual responsibility for that change. If I can change..and you can change..we all can change

I only started ugly crying at the end of this video when I found out this movie was based on a true story. How had I never heard this story before? In school (I'm in my mid 30s now) I was only taught about the horrors of segregation and the Jim Crow Laws, but there were never any hopeful or positive stories about how people on the opposite sides of a conflict can come together just by going through normal human experiences together. I'm not saying that the past should be forgotten, I'm saying that we aren't living in the past anymore and that to repair race relations (because the US is NOT a "post-racial" society like everyone likes to think) we should start highlighting the ways in which people on ALL sides have helped each other in the past. I feel that today's kids (who are the future) would benefit more from being shown HOW it's possible for people on different sides of a conflict to be good to each other instead of only showing them the reasons why everyone hated each other in the past.

Everytime I hear stories like these it breaks my heart. I'm a 40 year old white man from London UK. I grew up with white, black, Asian, Jamaican, African all races of all walks. Many are my great friends for life! I have never ever seen them any different, never spoken to them any different. Racism is something that has been built into your brain by very ignorant and uneducated people. You are not born being racist! We are all as one. We are all soul's!

They both died the same year little over 3 months apart. The moment these two bonded they became brothers till the end.

I’m a middle aged white guy and I have tears in my eyes because of this true story

I remember when I watched this movie with my classmates. Everyone was anoyed at first bcs we thought it was gonna be boring but in the end everyone was anazed by the movie and some, including me, had some tears in their eyes. Such a beautiful piece.

As a black South African, this is touching. Here apartheid ended in 1994, which is not a long time ago.

Mr. Mortenson is astonishing in his ability to morph into every character he portrays. He was good in LOTR, he was good in Hildago, he was amazing in A History of Violence, he was very good in Green Book, he was heartbreaking in some post-apocalyptic film I forget the name of. Such a great, underappreciated actor. I wish he'd get his overdue recognition.

You left out the part that the Doc was Gay and Tony had to rescue him when he was caught with another man in a steam room. So Tony not only overcame his racism but also his homophobia.

To my black brothers and sisters…. I love y’all and I’m proud to be what I am ! Our grandparents went through some foul ish as did our ancestors and even though racism still exists , we must not stop for our youths . ❤

This easily became one of my favorite movies instantly. What an amazing film. The real Tony was actually in the sopranos in the first two seasons as the big boss that jimmy sacks answered to until he died and his son was gonna take over. He was also in goodfellas as ray liota is introducing all the gangsters in the bar

I'm ashamed of some things I've said in my life. I've been angry on games, said some horrible things... I might have apologized to the men afterwards (who graciously accepted my apology, when I didn't deserve it) but that humiliation I brought upon myself still lingers. Racism really is hate. be better than that and be better than I was. I'm not ashamed to say that I'm better than I was before. There's always hope to do good and become a better person. We all breathe the same air and live. Don't be a dick. Good movie btw!

Love this story recap never saw the movie, but after this recap it brought tears of joy to will Don and Tony journey and relationship. We all bleed same color , brain, bones and organs are the same color and similar in nature. Only the eyes preceive colors that created the indifference of individuals.

Thank u for the recap❤❤❤

One of the greatest movies I've ever watched,hands down...They both really did their roles and talent justice.Seeing them form a bond and start looking at life with a different perspective throughout the movie was great.

My heart goes out to every black who has suffered some form of humiliation. This movie is absolutely perfect for conveying the message. Lovely indeed.

It’s so sad how black people were treated in America, my wife is black and I am middle eastern, sometimes we still see how people steer at us and feel like un welcoming. Hope the new generation build more diversity in this country, and history doesn’t repeat it self.

I honestly cried when i watched this movie for the first time, specifically the scenes when Doc gets out of the car and when Tony’s family welcomed Doc. It was one of the only three movies that have made me cry.

I wish it was longer .. I love it.

The ending of this movie when tony hug the doc and the way the family took him in shows love can change everything truly heart warming ❤️ ♥️ 💖

One of the best movie summaries I ever heard. Compacting the whole essence of the movie in 13 minutes. Outstanding.

That’s was really well done thank you

i love stories like this, heartwarming, thank you

Fun Fact: Dr Don Shirley's parents migrated from Jamaica just before he was born , fascinating how such a small island produces such culturally captivating and talented people.

Very emotional recap but I enjoyed it so much... thanks for the recap

Right in the feels!...thanks.

this kind of true to life stories makes me sad and proud at the same time. change the world, change one self first. thank you very much for sharing to the world storyline movies that really inspires your viewers. salute

I am Puertorrican and all my life I heard some racially motivated “jokes” toward me. While I am not easily feel offended, but I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t felt hurt. I think that this movie has profound and deep messages that should be taught in every school.

these kinda true stories always manage to make a shed a tear or two

god this is the cutest thing ive ever seen i love good stories like these

This movie needs more appreciation

I love this movie so much, the acting between Viggo and Mahershala is a unique and special bond

Remarkable outstanding astonishing ☝🏾tha TRUTH!!!!!

a very heart touching movie .. with that music at the ending and the photo of the real life characters, i literally cry a river 😭😭😭😭

This is how life should be because life is SHORT !

What a lovely movie & recap. Thank you for noticing and recapping this film.

Awesome Story!

That scene between Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger eating together in the movie 'In the Heat of the Night' is one of the few times I've ever seen just 2 men talking together revealing their vulnerabilities to each other without looking at each other as black or white. Just 2 men acknowledging each other's loneliness. Movies like 'The Blind Side' etc. etc. all fail so miserably over 50 years later.

Fun fact: This story as we know is based on a true story and the driver/bodyguard in this story: Tony Lip in real life plays Carmine Lupertazzi Senior in the Sopranos.

I was today years old when I found out that the character Viggo played, is the man who played Carmine in The Sopranos.

You forgot two of my favorite bits: (4:04) = Tony casually littering chicken bones and Doc following suit until he makes the driver pull over because Tony tossed a plastic cup. “Pick it up” / “Oh come on the squirrels are gonna eat anyways” can be heard as they slowly backed up to the cup Context: Doc wandered off to get a drink in local pub and was getting harassed by a trio. Tony Lip gets there and tries to talk them out of it. They keep on until Doc’s Driver says “Listen assholes, do yourselves a favor and let ‘em go… NOW!” ending with a startling yell. The biggest of the bunch tries to dominate him by pulling out a switchblade. Tony counters by seemingly holding a gun behind his back. There were in a standoff until the bartender who was a bystander in the situation pulls out a a sawed off shotgun who tells the guys to let him go. After that, Doc believed that Tony bluffed his way out. (10:25 - 11:00) = When the protagonists entered, Tony realizes there was a pair of guys staring the moment Doc took out his wallet to pay for the food. After the show, Doc and Tony were walking out of the building, ready to walk onto the parking lot. Next, Tony’s instincts kicked in by pulling out his gun and firing two shots in the air. It turned out that the pair of guys were handing behind the longer than usual car, presumably for easy cash. The best bit after that: Tony - “Don’t ever flash your wad of cash in a bar” Doc was drenched in sweat from recent exhilaration, shock and stood there for four seconds until he said “I knew you had a gun”

This is one of those wholesome movies that you will appreciate no matter what

That recap made me cry 😢

The smile when playing the piano has me laughing his reaction is like looking at me now 🤣 😄 😆

Great Movie

This was a beautiful narration❤❤

The irredeemable dark history of the US of A.

I live in Malaysia...we had Indian , Chinese and Malay live in here ... I'm not denying..we had racist issue...but after I grow up .. I become more realise ... Why we still focus on different with each of us and be racist to each other.. why don't we focus on harmony, teamwork for each other.. it's especially for our next generation.. future.. would us want our next generation live in horrible situation or war ?? Don't be selfish.. Whoever be racist... please just ignore it .. They is a lot of good people too ..and don't blame the race .. blame that racist individual.. Ik my English is poor.. sorry

That was a good recap, it made me wanna watch the movie more.

Fantastic story, god bless every single creature as we all are his children's.

Incredible recap, now I’m gonna watch the movie, thanks for this.

Wow...this movie has moved me to tears...while there is still humanity in people's hearts...there is still hope, what a brilliant movie 👏👏👏💖

The Christmas scene at the end is one of my favorite movie scenes on the entire planet. I love these actors and I love this movie

I haven’t seen this movie but definitely will now. What a lovely story, I’m so glad these two great friends found each other

I shouldn’t have to demonstrate my humanity to be considered human. That’s the bittersweet thing about the story.

Amazing story, thanks for the video.

The last part almost made me cry for joy. Great true story.

I’m proud that Italians always show family tradition and kindness with all

Loved the recap.💛

How people can change I really love the story 😍😍

Man even for a recap still made me shed tears..

Awesome recap. One of the best channel in recap movies. However, I think there are few points worth mentioning in the recap: 1. Tony pawned his watch 2. Tony wants Doc to eat Kentucky Fried Chicken and threw the bones out of the window 3. Tony picked up a gemstone in a gift store which the Doc wants him to return it (which later on prove that the Doc knew Tony didn't return it as the gemstone became a lucky charm) 4. The Doc was beaten in the bar and Tony rescued with stating that he has a gun 5. The Doc was rescued by Tony again in a pool after been arrested by police for homosexual which Tony bribed the police

Tony didn’t feel guilty when he took the hat lol. He did it purely for the money.

I will never understand racism... because it's unfair

Thank you I am speechless I am usually a hardcore writer you have bought me to my knees and tears if only there was a world like this there would be peace nothing more peace nothing more than love thank you you made me cry and I want to thank you because this is true love and that's what the world should be made of love not hatred for someone's race not hatred because you were raised to hate not hatred because hatred only brings on more hatred black lives do matter everyone's life matter but when we say black lives matter is because you know I'm not going to sit here and break it down you already know the dealio you know what you did to our ancestors you know till this day which is still doing and you still want us to say yes or master I approve of this message

I loved this movie. Every part, every second

Brilliant Movie ....watched it at least 6 times already !!!

God i loved this movie soo much, have watched it several times too. So happy to see this getting recapped on this channel

even with this full of spoilers, i feel like i can still watch this and enjoy it

well this was just wonderful... *Applauds*

One of the best movies I’ve seen in a long while. Great story and acting. What terrible times were those

this movie moved my heart...❤️

I liked your way of explaining

That was Beautiful... Such a harsh but wonderful movie

The most emotionally moving movie recap ever. Being a gen z kid, this shines light on the few awesome friendships different cultures had back then, even with social persecution.

One of the few movies that made me cry

There are some situations you didn't mentioned, for example one of the last scenes where the cop stop them to help, in my mind this means that not every white people is like we expected to be, or the moment where the black field workers stare at him, due to the wealthy situation he has (but in reality he face the same problems as a black person as they do, or even worse). In my view, you have to see this kind of movie by yourself instead of see some recaps of them, because you can't just cut some moments out that contains emotions. But don't get me wrong, I still like the recaps. This kind of behavior against other culture will never end as long as humanity exists, the nature of humanity.

I haven't even watched the movie, and I'm literally in tears 😭

That was Beautiful and Heart touched.... ❤ the True story

Incredible movie and awe inspiring true story! It must have been truly an eye opening and just heart wrenching experience for Tony to personally witness how cruelly one human being can be treated by another because of the color of their skin. Such a shame that this madness is still going on today.

While listening the story i got goosebumps.

Homies helping put words together for their friends crush/gf/wife is eternal ❤

This is a brilliant mesmerising film and once you start watching you just cannot leave it.

Great movie insights 💚

I loved how the doc helped him write beautiful letters to his wife making all her friends gasp in awe like watta guy

Damnnnn mannn... Really love this movie... Too many positive vibes in it

This movie should be mandatory viewing in all history classes.

I hated tony for hating black people at first and the end I cried 😭

Please can we get a recap of the “The Break-In “ love that movie😩♥️

Most Outstanding Story Ever

One of the best movies ever, period!

This movie is why I will continue to spread love no matter the color we are all the same we bleed the same blood.. heal the world

the slap was smooth

This became my favorite movie of all time. I just saw it for the first time a few months ago. And I'm waiting for the Holidays to see it again.

Such a great Story and they did a good job making it into a movie

"This Racist White Man's Life Changes After This Black Man Becomes His Boss" I was expecting this video to be about Joe Biden lmfao

That slap was satisfying

Beautiful story ❤️

Imma watch this movie tonight, thanks for the short summary. It is worthy video.
