As a child, Kevin taught him to learn to fight back against bullies, and Juan, the head of the drug dealer, taught him not to let others call him a gay. He learned later, at the cost of going to jail. If there is no bullying, no drug-addicted mother, Juan couple to take care of, and good friend Kevin, Chiron may be like Kevin in the future, he has done messy things, and then slowly settle down, maybe become a chef, maybe have a lover . But this is a story about a black boy growing up. It's a story that doesn't happen in a white community, and it's often in the rap I've listened to. Black kids don't have fathers, maybe a drug-addicted mother, and grow up on the block. Drug dealers, even though he hated his mother for taking drugs. Chiron told Juan that he hated his mother, Juan said that he used to do too, but he did start to miss her when he grew up. He said that Chiron would do the same in the future. That's right. In the end, when Chiron met his mother, it was considered a reconciliation.
Chiron has finally changed from little to a big man who can't be offended, and no one dared to bully him like he did when he was a student. The director ignored the changes in this part of him. It is surprising that he will grow into a drug dealer, but it is not abrupt. At that time, Kevin had a bit of Juan's shadow on him. When he was coaching his younger brother, he had the demeanor of Juan as the boss. He also had earrings. He wore the kind of earrings that Kevin wore in his youth. All in all, I think it's an interesting detail.
The long takes in the movie are beautifully shot, driving down the highways of Atlanta, driving from highways in sunlight into shadows. There is also Kevin smoking in the dream, the scene of turning around, the slow motion of the smoke scattered into the background, the back view has too many stories to tell. When meeting in the restaurant, Kevin returned to his seat from the bar. This long shot was also well shot, as if the two of them met after many years and slowly approached.
The masturbation on the beach was very well filmed. I was impressed by the sound of the waves. It was erotic twice, once on the beach, and once in a dream that Kevin was having sex with a girl. The second dream about Kevin is a real Hong Kong literary film. The entire scene of their last encounter, from the soundtrack to the tone, regardless of the skin color, thought they were going to speak Cantonese. The film's music is well used and adds a lot of color.
The actors of Chiron's three periods are different, but they all played his cowardice and timidity well, and even the last big man Chiron, who couldn't say much in front of Kevin, didn't violate the harmony at all. When they got home, Chiron said that no one but you has ever touched me in my life, I thought they would have sex, but the director didn't give this scene, just made them feel like they were on the beach years ago. The child Chiron at the end of the film, on the beach under the moonlight, is blue. I think this shot means that no matter how he grows, he is still that little, that black.
