Moonlight me I managed to watch only after the ceremony "Oscar". And too bad, because looked high expectations after reading the reviews. I was expecting more action, and got a pretty relaxed and soft dramatic film about the in the name of Chiron (Trevant Rhodes), who carried their love through the whole life. Love to childhood friend, Kevin, in performance Andre Holland.
I don't take this film with the perspective of "a film about a homosexual African-American" as he described in various sites and in reviews. It — delicate and poetic drama about ... how people looking for yourself? Not might say that he's looking for, he just live as can not letting out your emotions:
"you have not changed all as the three words are not able".
Since childhood, intimidating black wolf, he of that at heart. He is afraid of his mom, loves and hates at the same time; it is afraid of classmates who humiliate him for bessovestnoi and called gay; he can't open up even for those who took it and loved it.
Yes, Chiron (aka Little Black) Harbor feelings for your friend, but not understand desire, some kind of affection. And the kissing scene is not there was no lust, was a touching, touching and ease. And shining bluish light of the moon he says without any words of tenderness two boys, two lighting a dark silhouette on the ocean.
Has its own charm in warm, muted and neon colors that are immersed in the atmosphere of the film. For the expense of them, perhaps, the film and seemed "tube", and I looked like a fascinating story where there is nothing superfluous, no vulgarity and nothing flashy, here is a peaceful world dark-skinned introvert harmoniously painted in blue gold.
What he wanted from life this guy is. he really gay or just never in my life is not have met the concerns and so I trusted to those who took it, that's not wanting in return? It is to think out of the viewer.
If the film won the "Oscar"? Think Yes. According to me, let wins social drama about the Fate of taking over the soul — not because acutely tragic, and relaxing and pleasant.
And it is one of those films are not want to paint on the items separately the pros and cons, a clear sign of the problem. Just enjoy the story, covered in blue with a silver tint.
