"Moonlight Boy" is a drama film written and directed by Barry Jenkins. It tells the story of a black gay from childhood to youth, who had doubts, was confused, and finally re-examined himself with the help of others. Face your own story. There is no ups and downs of the plot, no battle scenes of fighting and killing, just like listening to other people's stories, it sounds very plain, but it is a topic that many people choose to avoid. The story of
is about the growth of a black boy, but the whole movie has nothing to do with skin color. It tells the story of a boy’s growth. Boys' perception of love is ordinary and beautiful, their emotional expressions are delicate and gentle, and blacks are small and fresh. Under the sea tide under the moonlight and the boy running under the moonlight, he was blue at that moment. It turns out that blue does not represent depression, because it also represents warmth. The touch to the viewers is not in the construction of art, but in the deep description of life. Not for the sake of merit and fame, to strengthen the points of the same sex and black people, but to describe the story that truly belongs to this group.
Because black boys are short, thin, lonely, bullying, all the words associated with misfortune are always connected to him. When the only person who cares about himself and the one who indirectly perpetuates the misfortune are equated, when the only person who trusts The one who throws a fist at oneself puts a yoke on, when the only one who misses and the one who gives comfort stand on the balance, everything unfolds so naturally, the relationship is of course simple, but at the same time it is mixed with the natural silence and sorrow. . There are various colors in the moonlight, but there is only one color. Even if children, teenagers, and adults are dyed in different colors at different stages, only one color will remain in the end.
Although moonlight changed the boy's complexion, it could not change the destined sorrow. The most touching thing is the truth that cannot be summed up in words. How should the boy face the new sunlight that shines through the window every morning? The throes of growth, self-doubt, love and hatred, tension, guilt, excitement, and inability to let go of the inner emotions that dare not touch, all together constitute a prosaic and poetic and delicate life. Even if
has changed from thin to strong, from being introverted and afraid to speak to being able to use words to deter people, from a simple black boy to full of golden teeth, Hiron is still the fragile, sensitive and delicate Hiron in his heart. Feeling distressed, I start to feel that those changes are disguise, and when I see it, I suddenly want to open it. What is the meaning of the appearance? My heart is the boy running in the moonlight.
For me, the movie is only about one person, but it seems to be about a class of people, or even everyone. People who show up when they need to rely on and those who show up when they need affirmation, but also leave when they need help, the light disappears, and the children who follow the moonlight lose their way and cannot find a home. road. The three selves of different ages are like the moon, seemingly cloudy, but in fact they haven't changed. Under the moonlight, the boy at that time was still facing the sea, but he hadn't blossomed in his heart. However, snuggling on the shoulders of the person who missed, he found the answer for granted, but found it simple enough to make people want to cry. When he wandered alone by the sea, wandering in the past, wandering in the moonlight, and the knight's arms unarmed, the thin boy got the answer, looked back, and returned to the sea.
Finally, the boy in the movie tells us: childhood is always fleeting. But it is during this time that the world children see and the time they spend with their families affect their lives. It is a simple growth story, but the turbulent emotions are like ocean tides under the moonlight. Regardless of skin color and sexuality, this is a little fresh story about growth. Although the three-stage processing is fragmented, it leaves room for the audience to imagine. Each actor has dedicated a delicate and moving performance. Chiron and Kevin reunited after many years of talking. The deliberately slowing down of the rhythm personally feels more in line with their situation, embarrassing and abusive. Photography is the biggest bonus item, which will make everyone remember the moonlight boy on the blue sea.
