Movie magic is when the impossible becomes possible. Only in the movies can I witness someone travel back in time, a person use a coffin as a bed and transform into a bat at will, or a werewolf drive a car while rocking out to Queen. Hollywood has been enchanting viewers since its inception. Filling our heads with unrealistic ideas. Fantasies. Often these thoughts are welcome. For maybe that two hours or so, spent in the dark theater, I can escape this cruel, dismal, hateful world, pretending that not everything is horrible. Hollywood has been working its magic for years, putting us under their spell. In their most recent yarn, Green Book, they’ve even managed to convince us that the ideal way to deal with racism is welllllll...just laugh at it.
