Everyone probably has at least one good friend whom you have met at a turning point in your life, marveled at how different or similar they were, and had many unremarkable but memorable moments. For example, after watching some friendship movies like Green Book, you will miss your good friends more.
We may want to feel empathy from others, like the understanding and encouragement in the movie 21 Jump Street. A genuine good friend will come forward when you are lonely and give you a strong hug from his heart. Very few people in this world can take care of your emotions.

It is often said that the purest friendship in the world exists only in childhood. This is an unfortunate statement; there are so many people in favor of life’s loneliness and hardship, you can imagine. I can’t entirely agree with that. Childhood friendship is only a pleasant play, and what adults add to it by memory is unreal. The true meaning of a friendship comes after adulthood, and it can only be at its best once it has gained importance. After watching these movies to watch like 21 Jump Street, I can’t help but think of my best friend. Hope you can enjoy these touching movies similar to Green Book.
