      Although it has been cut, it looks good

      This not only reflects the issue of homosexuality, but also includes racial discrimination, school bullying, family education and so on. This is also like the movie "Crash", which expresses a lot of things. The film is written from the period of juvenile-young-adult, but it is not clear that when he was a teenager, those black children called him gay. This is something I can't understand. But I really knew that he had a same-sex expression when the young man was kissing his friend on the...

      The cover of "Moonlight Boy" looks like Wade, the male protagonist is like Zhan Huang, and the male second is like Owen!

      The cover of the movie "Moonlight" looks like Wade, the male protagonist like Zhan Huang, and the male second like Owen?¡ . Although there are sensitive words such as nigga and tong in the subject matter of the movie, and because of these special plots, some of them have been deleted when they are released in China, which makes it even more difficult to understand what the movie is about. In fact, long after the movie started, I didn't get the main information to express the movie. It wasn't...

      The feeling of seeing the blue moonlight

      The beginning is extremely depressing, the voices of the plot are filled with an atmosphere that makes people restless and even scared, and it is told in the way of chapters that it is the first time to relieve this emotion. At this time, the mother is still normal, although there is oppression, but there is Juan's presence It's not too sad, part 2, the mother has turned into a drug addict and a lunatic Juan is also dead. Kaian's presence is a great consolation for Shiron. The result is not...

      meet

      Ahhh! After watching Moonlight Boy, and then read the film review, interpret the delicate eyes and feelings between them. When I saw chiron and Kevin meet again, I put down my guard and everything went back to the time of little boy. When the camera is shown to his side, I feel that everything has come to an end. His past has become a thing of the past. He used to be so embarrassed and embarrassed. Now that he has completed his transformation and transformation, his appearance will never be...

      moonlight boy

      This drama left a deep impression on me. The first is the mother of the male protagonist (doesn't always pay attention?), she clearly loves the boy, but in the end she hurt him. I think she should have realized everything. Difficulties, don't hold too many expectations, and don't put unbearable pressure on yourself. Maybe at that time, the mother can have lower requirements on life, lower requirements on her children, and lower requirements on the external environment, and she will not Are...

      The emotion and loneliness that I cannot understand, so the rhythm and atmosphere make me uncomfortable. The movie is really not too curved, it is about the growth and transformation of humble and shy individuals under discrimination, but it is difficult to put yourself in the shoes, and you can't just rely on mature camera language and restrained performance to make people who have nothing to do with this growth. to...

      Three and a half. It's hardly a great story, but it captures the tiniest voice of a boy isolated from the world and his difficult journey with an uncertain future. I hope that after reading it, I can learn to love more...

      Although wearing the four hats of black + gay + poverty + drugs, this film rarely preaches bitterness and hatred. What he tells is a story of personal growth, but this person happens to be black + gay, a group that is rarely seen in people's eyes. There are many emotional and delicate shots, especially the slow-motion close-up blurred background, which is simply a copy of Wong...

      Waves of waves, secret love for a lifetime. When the last two lines were spoken, the protagonist's nostrils sighed, his eyes dodged, and his posture changed. This silent person mustered all the courage in his life, and he tried his best not to run away. Tridan Trodz deserves the best actor for this...

      Dare to shoot, this is its charm. Reminds me of "Treasure" in many ways. The details are also exquisite, but the rhythm is not very good. There is no white character in the whole film, but it makes race a deeper social problem. But I really can't stand self-pity. Back then, making the base was the soft threat of "Brokeback Mountain" in the Oscars, but now making base has become the advantage of this film in the old white male judges. Political or not, the progress of the times is always...

    Movie plot

    Childhood Chiron (played by Alex Highbert) was called "little" because of his short stature. He grew up in a single-parent family, and his mother ( Naomi Harris ) didn't care about him, and often yelled at him during drug addiction. In school, Chiron, who was shy and introverted, was also bullied. By chance, he became friends with the local drug dealer Juan (Mahsala Ali ) . Juan taught him to swim, told him about his past, and gave him...

    Evaluation action

    The film mostly uses shaking hand-held lenses, surround-type scheduling, subjective perspective, changing tones (blue, white, red and black) and the sense of separation between psychedelic music, making it a surreal style. The film examines the three issues of homosexuality, African American identity, and masculinity. The interaction between the three creates a wonderful dramatic effect, and the insights contained in the film impress...
