Green Book is a beautiful film, it may become the It's a Wonderful Life of future generations.
In one particular scene, Don Shirley is denied dinner at a segregated restaurant. Just as Tony Lip is about to tear the manager several new asshole, Shirley stops him. Instead they have dinner at a black dive bar. Lip says to the bartender that Shirley is the best piano player in the world and the sax player challenges Shirley to prove it. Nina Simone played all the piano music in the film...what Shirley plays gives my scalp goosebumps!
Chopin's Winter Wind Etude.
