Okay i have to admit that was fucking good

That's because it's a 10/10 film. What did you expect?

>>80007902

Correct. I'm confident that 90% of the people here who talk shit about it haven't seen it. The other 10% are faggots.

>>80007902
I'll let you know when I watch it.
Which will be never.
So I guess I won't let you know.

If it's so good how come it hasn't produced a single meme yet?

>>80007933
That's like the whole of /tv/ in a nutshell.

Yeah, it's very good. Still not my pick for Best Picture tho.

get it? like baboons

>>80007902
i thought it was crap. none of the actors that were supposed to be playing the same character looked remotely alike. which is saying something because i usually can't tell black people apart at all. the relationship between him and the love interest is bullshit. it doesnt seem like he loves him, it doesnt even seem like hes attracted to him. the only reason we're given for them being together is that they're both gay. at the end it seems like he just dropped everything and drove way out for a chance to fuck, most of all when he says "i havent really been touched since". this is not an interesting charecter, its hardly a character at all. the only personality he has is gettign beat up and liking dick.

the story of his mother was pretty shit as well. she just gets clean out of nowhere and its all good. why not show us the point when she decided to get clean? that seems like the pivotal moment. instead she goes from strung out junkie to repentant mother when we aren't looking.

this movie sucked and you have shit taste

Yeah, Manchester or Arrival. I really liked La La Land too.

>>80008204
>she just gets clean out of nowhere and its all good. why not show us the point when she decided to get clean? that seems like the pivotal moment.

The whole story was from Chiron's perspective. At that point, Chiron had already basically written her out of his life, so her whole recovery happened offscreen to his life as a drug dealer

>>80008204
It's obvious that much time has passed that Chiron didn't give a shit about his mom and disowned her from his life and went to sling drugs since he had no better guidance.

>>80007902
this movie was fucking garbage. Literally only won because it had double the lack of privellege; nigger and gay.

>>80009021
>>80009291
isnt the last scene with his mother before she quits using the one were she takes his money? he didnt stand up to her or anything. if i'd had to guess at that point i would have thought that he was gonna keep trying to take care of her and it would end up in a kind of reversed relationship where he has to provide for her. if you're going to skip a big chunk of time things should go the way it looks like their going to during that time. don't put the important plot points in the space between acts

>>80009368
you're just a nasty homophobe

>>80009368
Same here.

I thought Fences was a really good film with solid direction and incredible dialogue.. But I felt Moonlight was a poorly written softcore gay porn with amazing cinematography.. There were moments within Moonlight that I was getting annoyed at how "acclaimed" it was suppose to be.. It's written like a first year film student.

Is it hot? Is there any gay sex scenes in this?

>>80008204
>i thought it was crap. none of the actors that were supposed to be playing the same character looked remotely alike

because his physical appearance doesn't matter, deep inside he's still the same person

you can tell by how he acts and his facial expressions, especially the eyes, the actors nailed that

you're supposed to find it jarring, because how he looks doesn't match who he actually is, which is kind of the point of the film

>>80010523
he doesnt have a character, he just gets beat up and thinks about dick.

>>80010606
he is sullen, shy and withdrawn, not constantly trying to hit on men =/= no character

>>80010335
hey dont hate on jidenna

>>80009392
I guess you're retarded because it's not only implied but explicitly stated that Chiron was sent away after slamming a chair on his schoolmate with the dreadlocks.

>>80010643
here, take this: ≠
its really not much of a character. the idea that he he doesn't have much of a personality is because he's hiding his sexuality is akin to saying that gay people are nothing but gay and can have no other traits whatsoever.

>>80010797
doesnt have shit to do with his relationship with his mother.

>>80008204
>the only reason we're given for them being together is that they're both gay.
It's not that. It's because Kevin was the only boy to stick close to him. Kevin was defending him as a kid. Kevin came onto him when they were a teen. Kevin gave him a call when he was an adult. He had no other men in his life, and throughout his life, he was not confident enough to be himself except for when he was around Kevin.

>>80010857
He can't take care of her if he's in trouble with the law. Besides that wasn't the last scene with the mom, he eventually visits her again and they reconcile.

As for why he doesn't stand up to her, it's because she's his mom. He doesn't have anyone else and she's clearly in a vulnerable state.

would you be teenage chiron's friend, /tv/?

>>80009015
>hasn't watched the film
I went into it thinking like you did, desu. But the film really isn't like that. It's more about constantly pushing away who you are because that's not who you or society believes you are supposed to be.

All of the acts are really good, but my favorite is second.

>>80010940
i said the last scene before she quits using and people do stand up to there mothers, especially when they are hurting themselves
>>80010922
i think the reason for most of those reasons though is because they're both gay though

>>80011166
I thought first and second were much better than the third. third act is just so predictable and unsatisfying, i felt like they dropped the ball completely

Was chiron autistic? He reminded me of the driver with his one-word responses and flat demeanor.

>>80011189
Kevin's bisexual, but nah, that's not the reason. Kevin was a social butterfly; he had no problem getting along with people. He could have gotten with most guys no problem.
>>80011230
I don't think he's autistic, but more likely just socially stunted due to the abuse he took in his formative years from his peers.

>>80008137

Nigger.

>>80011227
How so?

>>80011227
Third act was the entire movie. It's immediately clear that the character in the third act is not Chiron. It's not just the muscles and the grill, either, which are clearly a costume for his insecurity. It's also the scene where he fucks with the guy who was pushing drugs for him in that super-douchey, masculine way. He thinks that this is how he has to act, how he has to treat others, and how he has to be in order to be accepted/be a man. It's almost like he has no choice.

In terms of nature vs nurture, it's very clear that the Chiron in the third act (until the end) is a product of nurture. That's the saddest part of the film to me, him feeling like he has to be someone he's very clearly not because of nothing other than the environment he was happened to be born into.

>>80011305
>not gay niggers from outerspace 2: featuring the multicolor chick from guardians of the galaxy

>>80011189
But his mom is all he really has, outside of staying with Juan's gf when things get too tough. He doesn't have a father or any other family we're aware of. He's also in a poor neighborhood and in high school, what else is he going to do?

who is you, chiron?

>>80011397
>which are clearly a costume for his insecurity.
I really hate this meme. A man cannot go to the gym and get some nice golden teeth, just for liking them?

And who are you if not what you are? He might be insecure about his gayness but don't write rest of his character to underline that, this film had bettert writing than that.

>>80011397
its like chiron said at the diner, "you don't know me" who are we say thats not who he really is if thats the way he's been for the last 10 years. it's sad that's the way that emvironment makes people but you can't say "that's not the real them"

>>80011397
Yeah, he eventually figures himself out as a teenager, but then rejects it as an adult. Kind of what Kevin was saying, about how growing up all he did was act like how everyone else expected him to. He even calls himself Black, even though he originally hated that name.

>>80011522
>its like chiron said at the diner, "you don't know me" who are we say thats not who he really is if thats the way he's been for the last 10 years
Goddam this. Have some respect for Chiron.

Would he have been different in California in a white suburb with no fag bullying? Yes. But that's not him.

>>80011467
In the context of the movie dude. That's why Kevin points out his new appearance and pokes fun at his grills at the diner.

Those kind of grills are also called "golden fronts". Literally a front.

>>80011552
>but then rejects it as an adult.
Or he had oneitis for Kevin. It's not rejection if you don't advertise your gayness 24/7, you know

>>80011558
>>80011522
He's obviously putting on an act. How could you miss that? Everything is a front up until the very last minute where he breaks down.

>>80011613

>>80011613
put on an act long enough and it becomes you. i interpretted the breakdown as more of a reunion with his only love, i dont think it has to include his muscles/jewelry/whatever

>>80011648
it was better than lala land but yea i wouldnt pick it for best picture

>>80007902
Maybe it is, maybe it isnt... the fact remains that i will watch gay nigger sob story as likely as i will watch any other faggot movie. I shared a dorm for 2 years with 2 of my friends, 1 of them turned faggot and the last 4 months in that apartment were the shittiest 4 months ive ever had and i doubt ill come that close to killing a person ever again.

>>80007902
I finally watched this an unfortunately the movie was exactly what I thought it was going to be. It was fine, just nothing special. My theory is that the soundtrack made people think it was more important and "artistic" than it actually was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7tKZ-P9pss

>>80011648
Too much emotion to be bait

>>80011645
Are you dense? Kevin knows it's an act which is why he asks him at the apartment who he really is. Chiron is defensive until he finally admits that it's an act and hasn't been close with anyone since he was a teenager.

>>80011695
it looked pretty too

>>80011818
It looked great for its budget, but not as pretty as La La Land.

>Knows its an act.
What does he know? He hasn't seen him in a decade.
Just because he is running drugs and has muscles doesn't mean all this is "compensating for being gay". He had a druggie mother, didn't have father, his "step father" (Juan) drops dead at some time before HS.

And there's not one part he admits "to being an act". He just says when he started over he built himself again and hard, but it's a dog eat dog world in the drug trade, nothing to do with being gay.
>but why didn't he ran through 1000 night clubs and have harem of boyfriends.
He says he had oneitis for Kevin.

I'm just saying that interpreting his character traits all as derivative of being gay is crazy.

>>80012011
I'm not saying it's derivative of being gay, it's derivative of being insecure and both of them know. Fuck's sake dude things don't just happen in movies for no reason, everything is a plot device.

The fact that Kevin knew it was an act is a plot device.

>>80012056
I don't see why take whatever Kev says as some sort of biblical truth. It's ignorant of him, in a meet after a decade with someone and tell him how he actually is. Was he insecure? Probably. Did his bling and his physique come out of that? Not stated in the film other by Kevin who hasn't seen him in a decade (only refers to the golden grill anyway in that part at the diner).

>>80012223
Different interpretations I guess. Still a good movie with some pretty compelling characters.

>>80012298
Yeah I like it more each time I saw it. Seen it thrice. Only thing I don't really like that much is the 1st. act.

>>80012363

It's not. It shows all-black communities as the hellholes they are. It subverts the alpha black male meme by having the lead be gay and meek.

Jew propoganda would be having Sebastian's sister marry a black guy for no reason in La La Land. There's no way that was in the original script.

>>80012772

>>80007989
It WAS a very weird pick, but you gotta admit, when was the last time the Oscars gave the main prize to a film so good? Let's just see the last 7 years of best film winners:

2011- King's Speech (forgetable bullcrap)
2012- The Artist (what was this about again?)
2013- Argo (I mean... Hurray, Ben Affleck doesn't suck now)
2014- 12 Years a Slave (a good flick, but not even near the best film of that year)
2015- Birdman (I like it, but oh god, how pretentious is this? Also, fuck Iñarritu)
2016- Spotlight (seriously? I mean... seriously?)

Moonlight comes out more as an arthouse film, something you'd see winning indie film festivals, not the oscars. But maybe this is a welcome change for the years ahead; maybe from now on the oscars won't be so fucking unfair all the time.

Thanks in advance

>>80007902
>>80007921
Is that a new meme kek

>>80011397
Agreed, I also found the third act one of the most interesting just because of how it portrayed the gap between this typical image of an intimidating masculine black man and his vulnerability in pining for his old friend, while being totally sexually repressed and awkward.

I don't think they were explicit about how it happened, but you don't really need to stretch your imagination very far to have some idea of why he'd get killed.

>>80016711
Ah, i wasn't aware that was kevin in the first act when they were in the field together. I though Kevin appeared in the second act as just like a highschool acquaintance. They didn't seem very tight in the second act for being highschool friends, but thats probably because they resisted eachother as much as possible cause they were ashamed of their attraction to one another. I feel like a retard who's figuring out the plot of the movie as i type this

>>80016807
When Chriron meets with Kev it definitely felt like a strong leadership, since Kev knew so much about him. I remember him pointing out C's behavior in that scene in the way friends who have been friends for a long time do.

>>80016613
I think it was definitely more Chiron who was in love with Kevin, Kevin had been getting on with his own life. I don't think they necessarily imply Kevin was 'in love' with Chiron but he certainly felt compassion for him as well as guilt about what he did to his old friend. It's not like the movie ends with them kissing or fucking, but rather in a tender embrace.

>>80016842

FRIENDSHIP

>>80008204
Fuck finally someone else who didn't like it based on its merits. Total snoozefest. The acting and writing were nothing special. Mahershala Ali was alright but hardly deserved an oscar for his 30 seconds of screen time. The last scene w juan and chiron at the table was the first red flag. After he admits to the kid that he was basically selling drugs to his mother, chiron gets up and walks out implying he is angry about it. WTF since when do 8 year olds have an intellect capable of moral reasoning? Kids just want to be around whoever is being nice to them and giving them food / free shit. They don't care who has done what. Film just doesn't make any sense.

Most importantly though I just didn't feel a thing for any of these people the entire time. I saw Brokeback Mountain again not long after and It actually made me feel something because the acting (Heath Ledger) is so good.

But you're not allowed to actually be critical of moonlight otherwise you're thrown into the same horrid room with all the /pol/ psychos.

As true as that probably is, I think the end is less about establishing 'he couldn't be intimate with another man because he loved Kevin too much' and more 'he couldn't be intimate with another man because he was repressing that part of himself in order to convincingly perform a cultural version of black masculine identity - which in turn made him incapable of moving on from his teenage love'.
