I finished watching it two days before and after "Happy Birthday". The two films have the same poetic quality, and they are also very careful in the use of color. The film tells the story of a black gay boy growing up. I just found out that the avatars of the movie posters are stitched together by the male protagonists in three growth stages, which are little-Chiron-black in order. I have to say that the three actors I found are quite similar. The three actors acted very well. Chiron, who was a child, high school, and adult, although his appearance and identity have changed, the things in his eyes have not changed, and his taciturn and somewhat stubborn character has not changed. The appearance of the adult Chiron surprised me. The thin, frail, bullied boy suddenly turned into a drug dealer with sinews and fierce eyes after a shady scene. I can see his helplessness and pain when facing his mother, and facing Kevin When he was incoherent and nervous, I knew he was still the same Chiron. A strong appearance and a fragile heart can coexist. For Kevin, who took the initiative to approach him, brought him joy and pain, and could be said to be his only friend and lover in the process of growing up, Chiron's dependence, miss and soft love have not changed. The strong Chiron bird leaned against Kevin's shoulder and gasped lightly, as if the grievances and hurts he had suffered over the years, those unwillingness and resentment, were relieved, and I was so moved. The film ends with Chiron as a child again, standing by the sea, turning to the camera, his face glowing blue, I know, he's grown up.
