It should have been a lively night, and watched the movie alone at home. Someone is right, this is an internal injury film. It clearly tells the growth process of a black boy in such a delicate and gentle manner, but my emotions can't calm down for a long time after the movie ends.
The brutal treatment brought by the mother who took drugs when he was a child, the loneliness of being excluded and bullied when he was a teenager, and the pain of being betrayed by his sweetheart after growing up, this life is too heavy all the way. Carrying too much confusion, struggling and oppressive pain, even if he tries to build a solid shell as an adult, underneath is still vulnerable and lonely.
When I saw Chiron face his sweetheart for ten years and finally said "You are the only one who has touched me, the only one", I saw him crying in front of his mother's late confession, even if he said "I hate you" but when I chose to forgive, I felt as uncomfortable as my heart was being grabbed. I knew the bottomless sadness in his eyes. At that moment, I wanted to hug him hard because I remembered life. The most important person in the past. Some parents will never know how the original family or their own behavior will have an irreversible impact on a child’s growth and later life. And some lovers will never understand how the harm they do to you will turn into a pile of fine glass on your future emotional road, making you scared to move forward at every step. But the cruel thing is that no matter what, we still have to bear these unknown pains and walk on quietly.
At the end of the film, the camera returned to the bright moonlight. The childhood Chiron stood alone on the beach. His eyes were clear and firm when he turned his head. Perhaps at this moment, he could finally say goodbye to the heavy and impaired past.
