  • Both Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali are up for Academy Awards for their roles in "Green Book." The film explores the relationship between piano prodigy Don "Doc" Shirley and nightclub bouncer Tony "Lip" Vallalonga. The two meet when Shirley, who is of Jamaican descent, embarks on a tour of the Jim Crow south and hires Vallalonga to chauffeur him around. What unfolds in the movie is a friendship -- but families of both men have quite different interpretations of what really went down between the two. InsideEdition.com's Stephanie Officer has the details. #InsideEdition

    Nick Vallelonga , Tony Lip's son , had a lot of material to search from including letters ,tapes and videos of Dr Shirley telling his own story. So it's clear that what's on the movie really happened in real life. The movie is based on their 8O days first trip together but on the following year they did another one over entire USA that lasted one year. It's obvious that they had a LOT stories / experiences to tell. GREAT movie, fantastic screenplay and an amazing soundtrack. Definatly the best movie I've seen in years.

      Still if they had wanted the truth the family would have been allowed to have an input. And since Windows holywood not exercise creative licence. What you have is one man's interpretation of what happened.

    Hollywood embellishes all biographies. That’s not the point.

    He sounds like a special man who became successful during turbulent times for people of color.
    He should be remembered.

    Main thing Don Shirley's family's saying is that Don was more in touch with his family than the movie said. Honestly, don't know how big of a deal this part is to the story. And the story is what went on between the two from Tony Vallelonga's side. It is possible Don Shirley said he's not in contact with his brother just to avoid conversation. And regarding the chicken too. He may have said it to avoid the stereotype. There's no way for Shirley's brother or nephew to know what went on between the two so they can't say it's complete false.
    And yes, it is possible Tony Vallelonga may have exaggerated his side of the story. He seemed like the type with all the photos he took with other famous people. Him saying to wait until Shirley is dead to make the movie kinda proves it. But this is movie "BASED ON" Tony Vallelonga's recollection. Based on his recordings and stories and letters. And audience take it as such.

    The movie poster says, "Inspired by a true friendship." It's a story, not a documentary, so the question is more along the lines of "Did it get the friendship right?" which it seems it did.

    Don Shirley's family is still alive and they said Don Shirley was falsely depicted to make the white drive more likable... Shirley never came out, had three doctorate degrees, never drank, etc... just full of lies. Sad. Why didn't the writers and producers confer with Shirley's family??? Not cool.
