After watching the movie "Moonlight Boy", I have a lot of emotional impulses, and I am willing to write these words!
It can be said that this is a film about the male protagonist's personal growth experience. He has been subjected to domestic violence, school bullying, and racial discrimination since he was a child (there is also regional discrimination among black people. I thought that only people of color would actually be black), Homosexual discrimination, transformed into a real self!
Some viewers commented that the male protagonist began to change after he came out of prison. It is not ruled out that part of the reason for the film has been reduced. Growing up in an unsound social environment can only be successful through the illegal way of selling drugs. , is the irony of the social environment, because drug trafficking will hurt more people, and more people will be hurt like the mother and baby of the male protagonist, and in such an unhealthy environment, those who bravely be themselves , is it not a victim of an unhealthy social system!
And the experience of the second man's life is that he always lived in the environment expected by others, which also led to not being able to admit his sexual orientation. Even in the face of his true feelings, he did not have the courage to go against the mainstream values of society. This social mainstream value also has its shortcomings. For example: violent tendencies, campus bullying, homophobia, racial discrimination and other bad things, what moved me is that the film, through artistic expression and through the medium of music, breaks the gap between the male protagonist and the second male lead. The divide between same-sex love.
If we say that homosexuality is not allowed in this society because we are heterosexual, then our society itself is not tolerant enough. We should evaluate it more objectively. Maybe someone grew up in an environment of lack of love, violence, and discrimination since childhood, and finally caused his current fate. Are we going to despise or hurt others? Our society should be tolerant enough to tolerate those who are different from us, and we should need more people to accept those who are different from our skin color, emotional orientation, and family environment, so that our social environment will become better!
This is also the value that the film should convey. Although at present, these are relatively few people who are suffering from these injustices, but we should try to think in a different position. If we are in such an injustice environment, Do we have the courage to fight? However, the male protagonist in the movie strives for the respect of the society by way of drug trafficking. Of course, this is an unhealthy value. Is this a more direct reflection of the inadequacy of our social environment, so that we have more courage to improve our dependence. In order to survive the environment?
This movie taught me a truth, no matter what kind of environment we are in, we must have the courage to face up to our heart and become our true self! When we become stronger, we may be able to promote the improvement of society in turn. The factors that really make society stronger, there will definitely be more people who can accommodate those who are "different" from us!
