"Moonlight Boy" is the most tender film I have watched recently.
Sluggishness, numbness, struggling, cowardice, incompetence...All the negative emotions, the moonlight hit, the sea level tide, it is not relieved, but it suddenly calmed down. This kind of salvation has nothing to do with sexual orientation and skin color-perceiving the brokenness of life is a marginal person in life.
Gentle such as.
"The breeze makes me feel very comfortable
Sometimes near the street where we live
You can all feel the same wind
It's like everything through the residential area
Stopped for a while
Because everyone wants to feel it"
【Waters】
Several films I like very much recently seem to be closely related to the image of "waters". From "Hello, Madman" to "Manchester by the Sea". The waters represent the quality of spirit, where people come from, the mysterious and unsolvable meaning, and eternal salvation.
And in "Moonlight Boy" I suddenly felt that being in the water is actually the posture of a person in life. Chiron, a little boy who has been bullied by his peers, gained an inch of courage with the encouragement of his friend Kevin, and decided to learn to swim with Juan, just like his father in his life. Juan is holding this thin child in the sea. Water from all directions is surging like life in all directions-life is engulfing you up and down, everyone is floating around in the course of history, the resistance and thrust of the surroundings, you are paddling double Arm, ability will not fall into sinking.
So after Chiron learned to swim, Juan told him--
"Sometimes you have to decide for yourself what you want to do, no one can make the decision for you."
Chiron’s setting in this play: black, gay, a native family with drug addicts, a group of peers who bully on campus. This piece of water is simply Chiron's entrusted all his passion for life and the revival of images. Love.
[Fuzzy and cramped]
The unlucky and timid and indifferent children, the unfortunate and young and weak teenagers, the strong and powerful middle-aged protagonist Chiron who is not lucky or not, the expression of the first love Kevin has never changed: vague and cramped. Fuzziness can alleviate the struggle, but cramping is all the mind.
When Chiron was little, the term "little little" was actually a bit like "it" for children in English. There is no strong gender distinction, those with weak personalities, stuck in the crowd, facing the resistance of the world, just want to give in and beg for mercy.
It was Kevin who made Chiron go from being unrecognizable little to black where someone took a nickname. It was also Kevin's two hands-on exercises that allowed Chiron to grow up. The first time was to teach him to fight back, and the second time was to take him into the world rules of the weak and the strong (although this time it was almost = betrayal).
People are really simple. When everyone denies you, as long as one person accepts you with the greatest kindness, he can become your life.
So love is really paradoxical.
In the middle-aged Chiron has become a savvy and savvy (threatening his downline "Did you give less money"), a strong and powerful drug dealer. After seeing again for ten years, he has not seen Kevin. He suddenly returned to the most primitive and uneasy waiting for salvation. Own. "Here again, only nodding, old man--you really haven't changed at all--you still can't say more than three words at once."
Maybe everyone who sees his first love is the same silly look back then? .
[Moonlight and Reality]
"Black boys are blue in the moonlight." Moonlight may be tenderness and disillusionment itself.
After a life of chaos, chaos, collapse, love and betrayal, Chiron chose to become the most annoying role in his childhood, the drug dealer. I think there are two meanings, one is reality. The Chiron who came out of the young guard rebels, and only if they are strong can they survive. So he worked hard and couldn't sleep at night. The second is dream. All the warmth of his life comes from two men, one is his lover Kevin, and then he betrayed him; the other is Juan, who is like his father, who provides love and warmth, and Juan is the drug dealer.
And Kevin's account of the truth after meeting Chiron is also very moving. "I have a little Kevin-doing this job, eighteen months of internship-really real, this is my life."
It's true, this is my life.
And Chiron is Kevin's moonlight. A song will once again flow moonlight and warmth.
Reunion again, fortunately, in each other's eyes, the blue, gentle boy by the sea.
