Synopsis
Three time periods - young adolescence, mid-teen, and young adult - in the life of black-American Chiron are presented. When a child, Chiron lives with his single, crack addict mother Paula in a crime-ridden neighborhood in Miami. Chiron is a shy, withdrawn child largely due to his small size and being neglected by his mother, who is more concerned about getting her fixes and satisfying her carnal needs than taking care of him. Because of these issues, Chiron is bullied, and the slurs are hurled at him which he doesn't understand beyond knowing that they are meant to be hurtful. Besides his same-aged Cuban-American friend Kevin, Chiron is given what little guidance he has in life from a neighborhood drug dealer named Juan, who can see that he is neglected, and Juan's caring girlfriend Teresa, whose home acts as a sanctuary away from the bullies and away from Paula's abuse. With this childhood as a foundation, Chiron may have a predetermined path in life, one that will only be magnified in terms of its problems when he reaches his difficult teen years when peer pressure affects what he and many of his peers do unless he follows Juan's advice of truly making his own decisions for himself

I just love this movie and how it depicts isolation, insecurity, loneliness. Mahershala when he won his Oscar for this said something in the lines that when we don’t love and support those that are different people will collapse into themselves and with draw and not reach their potential. It was just a beautiful sentiment
this movie is a masterpiece. it made me love mahershala ali so much! he deserves every praise he gets.
Masterpiece for sure. I love the way he carries himself even in real life. He’s so good.
Ooh wow I am not familiar with this movie as of yet, but I spotted Mahershalala (sorry I'm probably ruining his name here with my misspelling?) so I really need to watch this! I loved him in The Green Book, and in a rather different kind of role in the Law And Order SVU! 😍
This has to be one of the best reactions because you understand all of the nuances that many miss. This film changed my life
Much love to ya. It’s a great film. I can see how we changed your life💙
I was actually watching the Oscars the year that they mistakenly read La La Land as Best Picture. I was over the moon for Barry Jenkins--you could see the utter shock and joy on his face when they corrected the mistake and named Moonlight. Master filmmaker. He knows what cinema can do. This film is so beautiful.
I see a lot of people wanting Terrell to get what he deserves, but I love that we don’t see how he turned out. movie feels real because we don’t get to know everything much like life. Masterpiece.
As a gay black man I can't tell you how much I adore your reaction, this is my favorite movie of all time and to see a fellow brother react to it gives me emence joy!!!!! I'm soooooo impressed with your intellect concerning my community and I appreciate that!!!! It's not often I come across black men with mature opinions on the LGBTQ community!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!! p.s. - I've seem ALL the "Moonligh" reactions kon TH-cam and yours is my favorite HANDS DOWN!!!! much love - jojospeaks
I totally agree with you. 💯💯
This movie is so special, I cried so much the first time I watched it. Incredible acting, filming, score just everything
Man, I remember how heated I was when they flubbed this movie's Best Picture win at the Oscars.
Oh my goodness. I heard about that.
@@FrankFreezy_ I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but something about it never sat right with me. I hated that their moment got taken from them, and I feel like the incident itself overshadowed the movie's win.
The acting was amazing every character that they showed through the years felt like the same person… without seeing the inbetween you still felt like you understood why they changed. You got exposition without being knocked over the head with it.
I couldn’t love “your natural Bluetooth” more. Genius and moving. I love your channel, man.
I appreciate that! Happy to have you here
i watch this movie on Netflix cause i was bored i choose a random movie to fall asleep
10 minutes in i was captivated not once i regret this "random" movie and i'm glad you react to it cause it's pretty underated ..
Haha thanks for sharing that story. You didn’t know what you were getting yourself into. I’m glad this was the random one you picked. So so good.
This was such a beautiful, heartbreaking, heart building film. I think the first time I watched it I cried almost the whole time.
Totally agree. There’s something so endearing about the stories.
@56:13 this was me too!! That diner scene had me grinning from ear to ear the whole time. I could watch a whole movie with just the oldest 2 actors. The way you could feel every emotion without them saying anything just BRAVO!
Also, the fact that the director didn't let any of the Chirons meet each other is a testament to his talent.
This movie is so good. Thank you for watching it, not a lot of reactors see this one.
You’re very welcome. Very surprised a lot more reaction channels don’t watch it
@@FrankFreezy_ Me too. It’s so well done.
Love that Black became a mirror image of Blue when he became grown. So many times we becoming the best and worst of our mentors. That tagline of in Moonlight Black boys look blue makes so much more sense in context of the visual storytelling. I don’t use the word masterpiece often but this movies has it all.
i knew you would love it as much as me. i live half a world away from African American communities but being trans, it still resonates so much
You were right. I absolutely do💙 I hear that. Unfortunately a lot of us share similar struggles, but also similar triumphs😊🌟
im an aunt who's queer and im coparenting a niece who's currently 6. its so difficult but Ive found the most important thing is to speak to kids like they're human and not babies, and to teach consent early. also the correct names of body parts and how all humans are different. she's 6 and will call me out when I say men/women are hot - she says "you have to ask permission" its amazing how that concept is so engrained in her at 6. I never had that and my consent was violated so many times as a child and young person and I wanna keep her from that if I can by giving her a voice and the vocabulary to tell the adults in her life she trusts exactly what's happening. that's my biggest piece of advice for ppl raising kids.
I am so happy that you watched that beautiful and important film. I always wanted to ask you if you might do it but I was not sure. I am happy to watch it with you again now 😊
Let's go! And just for next time, always feel free to ask about movies and recommend movies. I hope you enjoy my friend🤘🏾🤘🏾
Yes I do and you are a very intelligent, funny, kindly and curious person. Which is a good mix to have😀@@FrankFreezy_
Very insightful. ❤ I love this movie and your reaction.
Thank you so much!🧡
Just from watching this reaction, I can confidently say your future partner and kids are going to be so lucky to have you. We need more men like you in the world, especially in our community ❤
I love the depth of your reactions on all your videos I've watched so far.
I saw Moonlight when it was released and loved everything about it. When it was nominated for an Oscar I felt it was deserved but never thought it would win. I think it won six out seven awards including screenplay, Ali's and best picture.
I love you, sir. You seem to be a very kind and wonderful human. You seem to be someone one can have long conversations with. God bless you, and I hope your channel grows more and more as I love all of your reactions!
Holy smokes - who are you!! Thank you for sharing this space. You really create some beautiful space for some deep themes here. Thanks for all this.
The level of brilliance this movie has is mind blowing. The accurate portrayal of all the different layers of humanity in all its intricacies and tragedy, the writing, the shots framed and the single takes, it leaves you speechless. I have lived in these communities and seen what my friend’s children went through, and felt the complicity of standing by. And the realities of being Black, queer, and without a father, with a single mother with her own struggles, and the people that want to do good but are facing their part in the problem, what masterful storytelling. An exquisite movie.
rarely see people react to this movie on the tube your commentary is so beautiful , this is a very good film & you just earned a new sub♥️
When I saw that you’d reviewed this, I finally got around to watching it myself. Then I came back here to see what you had to say.
What you described of your own experiences was deeply moving. And what you said about having your own kids was inspiring. The weight parents carry - to break negative intergenerational patterns - it’s such a huge responsibility. Your ambition to accept your children for whoever they are, to let them feel safe discovering themselves regardless, and to try to accomplish that within this grotesquely unjust system so eager to punish people, to assign status, to dismiss and denigrate…it’s such a Sisyphean burden.
I just hope you can remember that despite feeling like it’s all in your hands, there’s only so much anyone can do. In the long run, none of us can save the ones we love.
Gotta love a movie that starts people thinking about what really matters. Moonlight was amazing, and this was your best video yet. Fantastic work.
Im not POC myself, but im a trans woman, the relationship Chiron has with his mother is probably the most accurate experience to growing up around a drug addict parent, one who wants to love, but cant and is unable to at that time. The confusion and general anger towards the child, and inability to properly care. The scene with them meeting in the sobriety facility was very similar to my experience and im unable to watch that scene without breaking down due to the fact that me and my mother had a very similar conversation, her apologizing for previous actions she had done and it took me years to fully heal and be able to look at my mother with anything other than contempt and anger.
Their relationship feels more realistic to what it often is for children in those house holds, the confusing emotions of not knowing wether to keep loving your parent, or just generally hate them and hold onto that resentment, while also knowing that they are providing your roof you live under.
Probably one of the best films A24 did due to the fact that there really arent any other films which go into these topics with this level of empathy, and understanding without it coming off as exploitative or exaggerated for the purpose of film.
Another favorite movie of mine! You're on a role brother, loved the video!!!
Thanks fam. Thanks for being here❤
@@FrankFreezy_ For sure my dude! Please keep up what you do for us all!
Absolutely loved watching this movie!! Watched it years ago, thought the storytelling was beautiful and was able to spot light BIPOC LGBTQ individuals. Usually don't see queer people of color in movies, and I really enjoyed the depictions of Chiron growing up and understanding the world around him
It's such a great one. And yes we need more movies like this in circulation. Yes yes chiron's character arc was so heartwarming💙💙
I wish it didn’t revolve around drugs and addiction but it is a necessary story to be told.
@@Knightowl1980 exactly. It had to be in there because that's the reality, unfortunately :(
@@Knightowl1980it was loosely based on the playwrights own life and was also reflected in the directors life. But Naomi Harris had reservations for the same reason initially
@@karstynmcdaniel yeah I know, she said that she made a deal with herself to never play addicts or prostitutes.
Im first youhouuu🎉🎉!! A good pick ...!!!!! I will see your reaction now....😘❤️
🥇🥇🥇🥇 I hope you enjoy it🧡🧡
My. Second time watching with you
Thank Your
I had not seen this movie when it came out. It was during the time where I had so much going on. I guess you would say life got in the way. I am glad I saw it with your reaction. You’re so right about conversations. If we could all just have conversations, what a difference it would make in this world. And the word “real“ is the best way to describe it as well. I like your fathers quotes. Wonderful reaction Franklin!
this movie is so universal, gorgeous and special to me. my favorite movie of all time, love, identity, and moonlight ❤
Take some advice from an old white lady. When you become a parent, guard their spirit. Don't let anyone or anything break their spirit.
I'm so glad you reacted to Moonlight; it's my favorite film. You should also react to If Beale Street Could Talk, also directed by Barry Jenkins.
Excellent, intelligent, compassionate reaction to this groundbreaking movie, sir! 😍👏🏾👍🏾⭐️
Franklin, for real the best person out here doing reactions. Giving real and nuanced observations. Reflecting on your own experience while also having enough knowledge to respect and comment on the film making. Top tier.
The whole movie is a masterpiece' There are moments that are so true that and layered with every shade of the human experience that it hurts. I feel bad for folks that get hung up on this movie just because it is based around a gay relationship because it is just a love story. That scene at the end where you get to see Chiron with his shields down receiving love for the first time in like a decade gets me choked up every time. In order to protect himself from the cruelty of his environment he locked his heart away and that destroys your soul. I like that he showed vulnerability and Kevin embraced him. It wasn't about some tantalizing sexual thing it was just contact, just love. They didn't play it angry or fall into any easy story tropes.
There is not a bad performance in this whole film and while I am glad it got the Oscars it did, I think feel like every award it was up for it should have gotten, it was flat out the best movie that yeah. I already loved Janelle Monae from her music but the way she played Theresa was just so real and good. I wish every person going through it had a Theresa and a Juan to help carry them through it.
Thank you for this reaction. One of my favourite films in the world.
IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK, please and thank you. More soul food.
Your reaction and commentary on this story is beautiful.
Happy Saturday, Hard but beautiful film. Its heartbreaking that so many have to struggle and survive trauma just to identify with who they r. The false sense of privilege in the world and what so many believe masculinity should be, brings judgement and hate, violence that stems from fear of what they dont understand. I had a very abusive alcoholic father in every way, was emancipated from my family at age 15 (in the late 70s) when I married a 28yr old who was also abusive. I finally broke the cycle when I had my sons. I realized that what lies behind us and what lies in front of us, pales in comparison to what lies inside of us. The simple act of listening to someone and making them feel as if they have truly been heard is a most treasured gift that could change the world. Thanx so much, be well, Peace
This review was so cool. I found your channel after I saw Perfect Blue yesterday and watched your reaction to that. Great reviewing style. I forgot what a knockout Moonlight is, thanks for reminding us!
Love is an action not a verb. Love is heartbreak, love is sacrifice love is terrifying, love, real, true love comes from within, but must be brought to the light through many different manifestations. Love is divine in all its essence. Many ingredients to love are unique and specific to each human. The most important thing about Love is the vulnerability to allow it to be expressed each and every opportunity you have, while granted breath on this earth.
loving to see the very deserved growth of your channel 💪❤️
It’s crazy how you she filmed her scenes in three days due to a visa issue. One of detail I noticed about him dipping him face in the ice was to suppress his pain (or numb it) like an alcohol would numb there pain.
💙
Great pic!!! ❤✌️🌹
Thank you😁🧡
Don't worry man just watch Nocturnal Animals 2016 then you're gonna feel better
Your commentary is very beautiful
Gracias ❤️❤️
♥️✨
Imo, Just like a person person being racist because of ignorance, hatred, and upbringing… people are homophobic for the same reasons as well. It’s a flaw of all humans. Finding a threat in people you don’t understand. In my opinion
loved this reaction.
Thank you :)
This has been on my watch list since it came out and I keep putting off actually watching it because I was worried it was going to be too emotionally devastating. I can now safely watch it when I know there's no homophobic murder in it.
As for recs? Uhm... Requiem For A Dream is interesting, and you've probably already seen Everything Everywhere All At Once. Paddington 2 is an excellent palate cleanser. Rye Lane, The Iron Giant, and The Shape Of Water are all great too. Grave Of Fireflies?
