The film begins with a minute-long, wrap-around dialogue in which Juan asks about the deal, then cuts to Chiron being chased into the house, and Juan takes him away when he finds out. After that, the film entered three stages, with the themes "little", "chiron" and "black". These three words have complex emotions for Chiron, "liittle" is both a mockery of his bullies and Juan's nickname for him who cares about him; "chiron" faces drug addiction The mother and the gentle and warm Teresa are two different people, with emotional fluctuations; "black" has a strong and muscular self but is still lonely inside. Chiron asked Juan "What is gay?" "Am I gay?" Juan said: "You can be gay, but you can't be called gay" So how do I know if it is?" You'll find out later." "At some point, you have to decide who you want to be, and you can't let someone else decide for you. ” This lays the groundwork for the second paragraph and I found that in the third part, when Chiron was driving, the camera featured a close-up of the interior decoration, a crown, which is consistent with the crown placed in the car when Juan was driving at the beginning of the film, maybe For Chiron, Juan is a special existence, a father, a brother, a friend. Bullying, race, drugs, homosexuality, this movie doesn't accuse like other movies, it's cathartic, it's very bland, especially in the third In part, I went to find Kevin, and the two slowly discussed and told their own experiences. Some plot expressions were also very subtle, the music and the pictures were combined just right, and the close-up of the characters, the lighting, and the composition were all well-balanced. I read some movie reviews later, some said that the director admired Wong Kar Wai, and he imitated and paid tribute to his photography style. The only shortcoming of the movie is that it was cut too fast. Man, drug trafficking, etc. Maybe the director wanted to leave room for the audience's imagination, but I personally don't think it's necessary. Pull it back and talk about it, it can reflect the black society and make it very subtle and peaceful, without losing the sense of this kind of film There are very few, and it involves a wide range of aspects, which is still very courageous and level.
