Moonlight
9/17/2017
Knowing that his ability to discriminate films is insufficient, he does not participate in the discussion of whether Moonlight is enough for the Oscar best picture. Let's just talk about this film, which records the delicate and sensitiveness of a black boy who grew up in a rough neighborhood, which racial and ethnic country people will not empathize with.
The little boy who played Little in the first part has big eyes, thick lips, doesn't speak, just stares at you like that, the dull appearance is used to protect the sensitivity of the young heart. I think this casting is very good, the little boy makes people feel distressed and makes people especially into the play. Speaking of which, I actually think that the three leading actors are all very good. It is very natural for people to immediately accept that this is the male lead who has grown up, especially Black, who is the last adult. He is a big man with a golden chain and cannot be molested. , But in front of his mother and his teenage lover, it was clear in his eyes that Little, who was timid and simply longing for love and warmth, really did a great job.
The two roles of Juan and Teresa add a lot of warmth to the film, especially Juan, which is a line that deeply affects the protagonist. The film critics say that the scene where Juan takes Little to teach him how to swim at the beach is a symbol of baptism, and I agree, although I can't think of it. What I think of is that the depth of the lens is shallow and shallow, conveying the temperature and softness of the sea water, making the scene particularly warm, but it clearly indicates the ups and downs of life. Juan is not only a father figure to Little, but also has equality and respect for Little. He is a good teacher and a good friend. It is very rare for the two to be able to get along well, but it also reveals a bit of bitterness. Juan's drug dealing, the source of customers even included Little's mother, also influenced Little's "I will be you when I grow up". It's hard to describe such an entanglement of fate...
I especially understand that the mother in the movie is an irresponsible mother when her son needs stability and care the most. When her son stumbles and grows into her own appearance, the mother wakes up. The water was overwhelmed, and tears streamed down her mother's old face. Who to blame, this is just a small sample of the vast majority of black American families, young, poorly educated (look at the movie's full black grammar), out-of-wedlock mothers, fatherless families, and drugs on the streets If this environment does not change, the tragedy will only be repeated for generations of black children.
The same-sex relationship between the two teenagers, I think the film handles it very lightly and restrained, although it may be that the screenwriter is also the protagonist's most profound memory of himself. Whether it is the caressing on the beach when they are young, or the two seeing each other when they are adults, they are all clicked to the end. It almost makes people feel that the Birdsong Mountain is more secluded, and the blank is the most important point.
After watching the movie, I took a closer look at the poster with the three faces spliced together, and found it very appropriate. A stubborn, slightly raised face, with sharp edges and corners, cold tones, but sad and confused in his eyes. "The Love of My Life"
appeared in my ears: It is hard to escape fate in the world, but
blind date is not approachable
or I should believe it is fate
