Lol okay for everyone who doesn't understand the movie let me give you a basic summary or synopsis. The story is about finding love and acceptance and how it destroys when the people you love don't love you. Love comes in the strangest places but can have a lasting impact as shown by both Juan and Kevin. Yes the story consists of Homosexuality, and could have been told with both a man and woman as the central characters; however, the play right which inspired the screenplay is gay and this is a reflection of his truth. No it's not Brokeback mountain, as the character never lived in his truth. It's Moonlight. No everyone is going to like it as some believe the LGBTQ agenda is being forced upon them, while others simply don't care for the acting, or story as whole. But you have your own mind and preferences so honestly the film shouldn't bother you.
That was more of your personal opinion of the movie verses more than a breakdown of what happened. You went off course with your explanation. Oh well, I'll Google it.

Idk where I was mentally when I was watching the movie the first time because I was oblivious to everything. I couldn't understand why it won any type of reward. Watching this compilation of clips really struck me. I definitely need to watch it again.
@@giggl3berrypi3 I personally don't know how one contributes to the other. But it does seem to me that people of color tend to have deeper voices with more bass than most white people. Not sure why.
@@giggl3berrypi3 I don’t know the biological science behind it, but I definitely have noticed that black men have overwhelmingly deeper voices on average, even as children.
This movie explains both the writer of this movie and the dysfunction he endured. I actually was in tears due to the hurt Chiron had to go through, most kids would have killed themselves.
i love the music from Moonlight. It impressed me so much that I did some research on it. This movie is not an "easy movie " to watch, well worth the effort and I will watch it again.
How y'all ain't put the reconciliation scene with his mom at the rehab center. That was the most heart wrenching and beautiful scene in the movie in my mind. It was the one I related to the most. I couldn't relate to all the other stuff but that.... that was probably the best part of the movie for me.
This is such a beautiful MOIVE AND IT SHOWS HOW A PERSON CAN GO THREW SO MUCH AND FOR ANOTHER PERSON TOO SEE THAT IS TRULY HEART FELT THIS IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE ❤️‼️
It’s so unfortunate that so many gay men lose out on their true loves because of stigma and shame. Gay men also find high school sweethearts and college romances but it’s too difficult for them to be open
This movie resonated with me unbelievably. It’s universal but it’s very specific and very important movie for the black LGBT. Beautifully acted beautifully filmed beautiful script. God what we have to do as humans to survive and ultimately thrive.
Black bought Kevin a car. He went home to Atlanta to pass the business onto Travis. He moved back to Miami, bought Kevin his own diner and went legit. Every time Terrell sees him, he rolls across the street. That shot to the head paralyzed him. And now Little Kev has two daddies. The end.
@@lialia2268 😆 yes but when your an actor you would play anything to be taken serious but he is handsome and he just seems like my type and I never saw this movie had no idea they were gay but I still want him I know I'm pathetic
I just look at it like any other love story. All of the hiding reminds me of how it used to be for interracial couples. I know it's a gay love story but I just looked at it as a love story where 2 people had to hide their love for each other from the other loved ones in their lives. It's sad that people have to do bend their will to other peoples beliefs or prejudice. Have a nice day, and may you be blessed for the rest of yours Maam.
@@killerofvikings3577 You’re comment IS beyond fucking stupid. Do not JUSTIFY or EXCUSE homophobia. Call it what it is. This is positive Lgbtq representation as much as it is African American representation. Him being gay does NOT change the color of his skin, or justify the blantant homophobia and hypocrisy the African American community (as an African lgbtq myself) has. How can the oppressed be an oppressor? Why is that people that experience modern day racism, turn around and be homophobic or transphobic? That’s like me making fun of brunettes when I HAVE BRUNETTE hair. You are literally doing the same thing white people did to you (to gay people) and then crying wolf.
It's crazy I'm going threw this with a guy rightnow smh He's 42 and I'm 33 but I keep my guard up because I recently met his girlfriend I'm glad we didn't meet as teenagers Wonderful movie doe
Read the lyrics of hello stranger kevin was giving him hints that he still like or lives him that us why black opened up at the end . Bc he was confused whether to tell Kevin bc he doesn't want him to hurt him again .
Best movie ever was just too short I wanted to see more like Kevin and shiron share a moment at the beachfront by his apartment at the end or something.
I don't know that Chiron was consciously waiting for Kevin ... I think he had forgotten about Kevin, about "all those times" as he tells him over the phone. He had just taken all those feelings and packaged them up and buried them inside himself because he had been so deeply hurt by it as a teenager. He refused to let himself even attempt to feel those kinds of feelings.
Not sure how I came across this but so glad I did. I remember when this came out and all the buzz that followed. I’ve yet to watch the film though reading through these comments alone makes me want to go right now and watch even if that means being a zombie come tomorrow morning when at work.
