The theme of this film is a passage that Juan said to the protagonist Chilun: Until one day, when I ran naked in the street and hit an old lady, she said to me, "A black child is like a child in the moonlight. The blue one is the same. From now on I will call you Bu (blue)!" However, Juan did not call himself Bu, he used the name Juan. He said to Chilen, "Someday you have to decide what kind of person you are, and don't let other people make this decision for you." Juan is a drug dealer who has not read many books, but what he means is that everyone has their own nature, which is your true nature under the moonlight. A person must live out his own nature instead of drifting with the crowd. But in the real world, from teenagers to youth, from youth to middle age, how many things we have experienced and how many people have changed our colors, so that to this day we still live in the colors given to us by others, we even I forgot my original color. Chiron lives in a terrible single-parent family. The mother's drug abuse and promiscuity, not only did not bring the child's maternal love, but often reprimanded him, letting little Chiron do a lot of rough work. From the beginning, he didn't have a good impression of women. On the contrary, the two men he met when he was a teenager brought him a lot of positive influences, which may be an important factor in changing his sexual orientation. Juan, like a father, gives Chiron care and love, and more importantly, he guides Chiron to develop his own independent personality. An important part of the film is that Juan teaches Chiron to swim. While he says "You should relax and believe in yourself", he tells him "I will support you." Until one day, Chilun asked Juan, "Are you (the one I hate) drug dealer?" Juan nodded honestly. Regardless of Juan's long-term love and care, Chilun slammed the door very unkindly. out. In fact, this is exactly the expression of the formation of Chiron’s independent personality. He has not been imprisoned by the values of this society’s wisdom and gratitude, but has shown his own nature. Of course, this young impulse, recklessness, is also for him. Paying the price in the future laid the groundwork. Kevin is a true friend of Chiron. It is not difficult to imagine how inferior a boy living in such a family should be. Coupled with his weak body and poor communication, Chiron is often bullied by the children. At this time, Kevin stood up and cared about Qilun, and told him that he should resist and stop letting others think that he was a bully, because Kevin knew that he was a strong person in the depths of Qilun. So the two children scrambled together. In this caring and understanding wrestling, Qilun felt beautiful things in his heart. Perhaps at this time, he developed beautiful feelings for men and Kevin, although not yet. It must be regarded as love. The young Chiron’s living environment has not changed, he is still being bullied, and he has not received any care from his mother. Although Juan has passed away, Chiron has learned the tough nature from Juan. He still often goes to the house of Juan's girlfriend Teresa to experience the only beauty in his life. Although Teresa is a beautiful and kind woman, but because of Juan's lofty position in Chiron's heart, he is full of respect for Teresa's mother. Her impression of women has always been as far away as her birth mother and Teresa , And because he was bullied by school bullies, he was full of disgust towards women from their vulgar insults. The only time he witnessed sex was not a good impression. On the contrary, his knowledge of the beauty of sex was all learned from Kevin and from Juan's embrace. Finally, when he was desperate in life, Kevin comforted him and once again let him see the beauty of life. Then comes the climax part of the film. The school bully urged Kevin to beat Chiron. As a young Kevin, under social pressure, he did not dare to face his own heart and beat Chiron against his will. But Chiron kept his inner nature and stood strong. So the director used a special set of lens language to show us a coward who didn't dare to face him. He punched a strong young man, knocked down again and again, and stood up again. Each of these punches was hitting Kevin, who was strong in appearance and fragile in heart. Each punch shattered the beauty of Qi Lun's heart, and each punch made Qi Lun firmer in his own nature. When the teacher wanted to help him call the police, he confidently and clearly realized that he was independent of the existence of this society. He just repeated "You don't know, you don't understand". A person's strength is not shown outside as the teacher said. It's the same with raising a fist to retaliate, but the inner resistance to social pressure. He didn't hate Kevin, he just broke his heart, so he vented his hatred of society and life on the school bully who had repeatedly bullied him. This is the youth who dare to love and hate! However, the urge to grow comes at a price. The middle-aged Chiron changed his appearance. With big steel teeth, gold necklace, dark and strong muscles, and a sports car with a subwoofer, he became another Juan. However, deep in his heart, he was still Chiron who was terrified by his mother when he was a child, and was still awakened by such nightmares again and again. His skin under the moonlight was still blue. A conversation with his mother once again awakened the heart of this vicious drug dealer. When accepting his mother’s apology, he did not say “I love you, mother!” but truly said the feelings he had hidden in his heart for many years. I hate you, mother!" Then, he cried and hugged his mother. This time there was really love between him and her mother, but he didn't talk about it. The rest of the story, without repeating it, a Kevin who was facing his own heart plucked up the courage and called Qi Lun. He apologized, he regretted it, and he saved him when he was addicted and lost in social life. Chiron also gradually took off his steel teeth, got rid of the black that society gave him, and evoked the blue in his heart. He defeated life and kept his innocence. "Moonlight Boy" is a film worthy of fun, and its deep exploration of human nature makes this film worthy of the Oscar best picture , I believe that after a hundred years, it still has a place in the history of movies. However, it is also the case, the high and the widow, his plain narrative is also difficult for people to calm down and read and understand. Several scenes in the film let us see the naked protagonist in the moonlight looking at himself in the mirror. This is actually everyone's discussion of who he is. Everyone has his own true color, and this true color can only be revealed when we are naked, like when we first came into this world. It can only be seen under the moonlight in the quiet night when it is out of sight of others. Society, life, family, and work have given us a lot of colors. Only naked skin in the moonlight is our true color.
