Gay, black, drug lord, this is destined to be a minority movie. "Moonlight" tells the story of the growth of a black boy. In a border town in the southern United States, the living environment of the bottom blacks is full of poverty and violence. The boy Chiron was different from other children from an early age, so he was often discriminated against and beaten by his peers. My mother was a drug addict, my father disappeared, and she was ostracized by her peers. Such childhood was bound to be painful. However, Chiron was lucky enough to meet Juan, a drug lord who treated him like a son. Juan taught him to swim, teach him to protect himself, recognize himself, and become who he wanted to be. In the film, Hu An once said, "I used to be like you, short and thin. When I was running in the moonlight one day, an old grandmother stopped me and called me blue, but am I really blue?" Hu What An actually wanted to tell Chiron was, don't live because of other people's opinions and impressions, you live because you are unique, and no one can control you to become who you want to be. Because of this, does drug lord Juan have to be a vicious villain? In such a social environment, the drug lord is just a professional label for him, and he actually has a warm and tender heart under his strong and fierce appearance. During Chiron's lonely upbringing, he slowly became stronger and learned to fight back. From adolescence to adulthood, he became more and more like the Juan he met in childhood, strong and indifferent on the outside, soft and warm on the inside. His mother has since changed her mind and started helping others after quitting drugs. When the mother and the old friend learned that Chiron was selling drugs, they were very sad. The mother said that she destroyed Chiron, and the old friend said that they did not expect Chiron to appear in front of him in this capacity. But Chiron said, "Have you really understood me? I just became the person I wanted to be." The smart storytelling is to make the people who read the story think of himself, whether it is empathy or reflection, anyway, there is always something in my heart. will writhe. At the end of the film, Chiron is looking at the sea on the beach under the moonlight as a child. His skin has turned blue, but he is always the black child. "Moonlight Boy" is a good film that can tell a story. It is not exaggerated or exaggerated. It just tells the three stages of Chiron's life very sincerely. Storytelling is actually analyzing human nature. In the process of watching stories, you can analyze yourself.
