It is a very moving film. The emotional depiction and atmosphere are very delicate. The actors in the three periods of Chiron are not very similar, but the unchanged walking posture and the same expression habits of finger and lip movements can make I believe it has always been that sensitive and melancholy boy.
I think the childhood Kevin and Chiron fighting on the lawn is very metaphorical. The blurred footage of the shaking and the close-up of the tangled knees convey a vague ambiguousness that echoes their future relationship a bit.
There is an episode called Cucurrucucu Paloma, which is very melancholy. In fact, the tone and Chiron's growth are also very melancholy. There is no way to change the bad relationship between the original family and the campus. Bumps will be very painful, but trees cannot avoid the bulges and grow crookedly. The tree will grow upwards if it does not die.
Also, I think Moonlight Boy is a beautiful and appropriate name, but the plot of the movie is not very well interpreted, and it may be something professional that I don't understand. Also, I think it's weird to put the boy's look back as the ending, but I can't think of a better one. It's a bit like calling back for the sake of being deep, calling back for the sake of calling back, and glaring at the audience in order to see through the wretched soul of the audience.
