Have you watched Moonlight? What did you guys think of it?
I have nothing in common with the main character: female, lesbian, asian, have a relatively good home life, having both still married parents. Nothing at all besides being gay. I cried so much watching this film. I somehow feel the alienation he feels growing up being gay and trying to figure yourself out without anybody knowing. Especially when he was being attacked by Kevin, it feels like the only good thing in your life isn’t good anymore. I love this movie to pieces.
The way this film handles food and food preparation is utterly heartbreaking. To prepare a meal for someone is love and compassion. His mother never did. Juan and his partner made him food. Then in the climax when Kevin makes him food. It's one of the most subtle and profound sequences of compassion I've ever seen in cinema. The diner scene with Kevin and Chiron is incredibly beautiful and very deep.
In the end Chiron becomes much more like Juan than you expect. Juan was a drug dealer and his "persona" was the hard outer shell required to protect himself in the world. But behind it with regular people he was himself. A man who was open, accepting, and loving. This is who he chose to be. Chiron as well is a drug dealer who is trying to find himself. His transformation into Black is what everyone expects him to be. But by the end of the movie he's willing to change and opens to his true self. Someone who is vulnerable someone who chooses to be himself.
i will never forget the emotions that I felt when I first saw this movie and the scene of Chiron's mom yelling at him but you can't hear a thing. it sounds much louder than if it did have audio. what hurts even more is the use of pink light behind her which normally pink symbolizes affection, harmony, inner peace, and approachability, but with that scene it depicts the exact opposite which is the betrayal, the lack of care, support, and love from a parental figure.
what i love about this movie is how i’m not even close to this character, yet he’s the most like me i’ve ever met. i’m straight, hispanic, living in a upper middle class setting and yet this character is so personal. this movie taught me so much. being yourself and discovering who u are is beautiful and is what the meaning of life is. helping me realize my personality isn’t something to hold back bc myself is what’s important. i fucking love this movie, my favorite of all time
Wish I could analyse like this for my AP English class...
this review actually made me burst into tears at the end, and rest assured it was in a good way. the depth of analysis here took my understanding of the movie to a whole different level. very nice and very well done 👍
When I watched this movie a few years ago, I remember feeling rushed with emotions and confusion. Being young and not understanding myself. Nice to see all the things that played into that, that I didn’t even notice. Amazing work, keep it up!
Just waiting for this channel to get the recognition it deserves. Your effort is not unnoticed! great work
This is one of the most beautiful reviews I have seen of this beautiful film. This film is a masterpiece and everything about it was absolutely stunning, moving and really showed the beauty in blackness. The way the black skin was brought out in the screen was visually perfect. The acting was phenomenal. The story told was so real. Loved it. I am now subscribed to your channel!
i love this film so much. it totally deserved its Oscar win.
this movie deserved all the awards it got and more. not because of the heteronormative, white-centered Oscars trying to fake inclusivity, but because it's a truly powerful film.
I saw a lot of myself in chirone minus the drug dealing and mother on drugs. Trying to find oneself in the hood as a young gay black male in the 90s was hell. No internet or social media. We were all navigating in the dark.
this movie is about self discovery. it doesnt matter what background, orientation, etc. it hits us all in a vulnerable place. that is its genius
This honestly made me cry. You did a great job!
Look man, you ain't have to make me cry 😭
I cried so much while watching this movie. One of my favourites of all time
The cinematography is beautiful in this film
Weirdly I Was just thinking about this film. One of the best movies post 2000, and the best example I can think of when it comes to the connection between what is happening and how that is portrayed. The camerawork is just so so good. The movie is a great achievement in my book
