Moonlight Review

At first I thought the movie would be about a young boy that involved himself in drugs a and gang activity and I thought this seeing as the neighbourhood in which he grew up in seemed to be quite poor and ghetto.

I can tell the Chiron’a character avoids eye contact with many males probably to try and avoid the fact that he knows he is gay and he doesn’t really have much to say which highlights how anti social he is as towards everyone

The Miami I think was done purposely because I think they wanted to make the scene romantic and make a statement that whether you are gay or not the feelings are the same

Juan seemed very manly and didn’t have such a good “job” but even when he was given hints that Chiron was gay he still took him in and accepted him which shows the crowd that even the people you wouldn’t expect to accept homosexuals can

The ocean/beach seemed to be Chirons getaway place where he could openly be himself without being judged by anyone around him so I think it was an important place for the main character

The last chapter did surprise me because after he came out of jail as a drug dealer he seemed to be forcing himself to be something he isn’t so he could feel comfortable in his environment however he knew very well he wasn’t into all of that, and I genuinely thought that maybe he was not gay anymore but at the end he comes out

The various nicknames Kevin gave seemed quite normal to be at first but after it seemed abit flirtatious
