The film tells the story of Chiron, who gradually discovered his sexuality from childhood to youth, and found his true self after being criticized by the outside world and struggling in his heart [1]. On February 26, 2017, the film won the Best Picture Award at the 89th Academy Awards. An adult Chiron (Travante Rhodes) has a strong body and becomes a drug lord on the streets of Atlanta. But he couldn't let go of the past. With an unexpected phone call, he returned to his hometown of Miami to release the quarrel with his mother, and the meeting with his "first love" Kevin was still tense. At the end of the story, he no longer cares about other people's eyes and begins to accept everything about himself

    A simple growth story, but the turbulent emotions are like ocean tides under the moonlight. It has nothing to do with skin color or sexual orientation. It is just about the growth of a boy, just like a person dancing the tango in "Happy Together", dancing and becoming what he is now. We will become people we can't imagine, but we will all remember the tide and moonlight of our first love.

    I like the interaction between the little boy and the drug lord the most, like a father but not like a father, young and ambiguous infatuation. But he just faded out of the lens so unexpectedly, it became a distant, sweet, untouchable dream.
