I concur, both grate moviez but Green Book is on another level tho I enjoyed both a lot.

[–] gcarras (2770) 6 years ago

:) And they're BOTH based on true stories, though GREEN BOOK (besides being somewhat older*), is based on a MUCH earlier story, set in 1962 or something. THE UPSIDE is a more modern setting, 1993, with early cellphones in one scene..(CLUELESS, released a few years later, really popularized cellphones).

*Though confusingly, THE UPSIDE was already released a year of so by Weinstein, then the #MeToo - Weinstein scandal broke out. Haven't noticed if credits, and thus copyright were put there as well so it'd read "MMXVII" instead of "MMXCIX".

Not sure if it’s 1993, felt more current. Dat Ferrari is def not 1993 and very 2016
