Not really, no, it's a Disneified version of what it purports to represent, and yet another example of Oscar's long history of awarding films for their liberalism rather than for their cinematic accomplishment.

Don´t get me wrong, form a film-making standpoint, it´s a great film, but the script is so dull and uninteresing.

Kevin was GOAT. Whole movie felt like a film school student's first feature. Can't believe there wasn't a scene with Gay Oedipus banging Jocasta and then realizing he was homo. Scene in Act I reminded me of South Park and I laughed in the theater.

Forgettable as fuck. Also did he kill himself at the end?
>>
I don't understand the hype. As a stand alone film it's good, but if you've seen Wong Kar Wai's films it's basically a mixture of Happy together and In the mood for love and it's not as good as either of them
>>
>>84936186
I think that was the point. They wanted it to be somewhat tense, so you weren't sure if Kevin felt differently from how he did back then. But then it turns out they do in fact still love each other.

>Like fuck, he goes to jail and then they completely skip straight to his release.

The story isn't about how he changes, it's about how he has had to keep himself in the closet for over a decade and put on a thuggish mask to blend into his community, never feeling intimacy or love until he finally is able to show his true feelings again.

It's a slow movie, but the emotional substance makes it worth watching.

>>84936243

I never felt like he was going to betray him again. To me it was obvious that he was being sincere about reconnecting after all that time, and that he felt really shitty about what he had done. It was just really awkward because of the emotional baggage and the fact that Chiron was like a walking contradiction, he had become a macho thug but acted all quiet like when they were kids, so there was some mixed messages and neither of them could just bring up their feelings straight up to the conversation.

If the movie wanted emotional substance it might've given Kevin and... whatever his name was more to do together than jerk eachother off. I mean you jump to Act III and they're supposed to have been really close, but all I was getting was two guys who knew sort of hung out at school sometimes.
All I really got from the movie was a story about a guy who spent a couple of decades not being himself, which ironically means being gay, because gay people love to be exclusively defined by their sexual orientation. That's it. The guy, Chihiro or whatever, was not interesting. In fact he was pretty fuckin' dull compared to the other characters. See to me that's a big problem, to have a character study about a character who the worst character in his own movie.

It was just so basic. You leave with about as much as you go into with. It doesn't have anything to say that hasn't been said a dozen times over.
>>
>>84936388
>In a universe where there's no gay sex in prisons.

Gay sex isn't about being homosexual, it's about dominating other inmates. If you're openly gay, you're most likely someone's bitch in jail. Chiron closed up and started to put on a front because having a gay experience led to him being betrayed and getting assaulted by his lover.

You realize he was the same kid from his childhood, right? The one he had the gay wrestling match with.

The whole point is that Chiron had trouble connecting to other kids his age, and was prone to being bullied. That's why his handjob with Kevin was so meaningful, because he actually felt close to someone only to immediately get backstabbed for it.

No he wouldn't, because once he got sent to juvie he made a point about getting tough and beating the shit out of any people who gave him shit. And that's part of the tragedy, he learned to fight for himself but at the price of having to shut down his own identity.
>>
>>84936681
Yeah but what do they do in Act I? They play tag and then gather in an Indian circle and touch dicks. Act I didn't even need to exist. Should've had an extended Teenage section that featured Chinchilla and Kevin actually being friends, instead of the one scene where the latter talks about some girl's ass.

Very amateurish flick. The acting is terrible, especially the three actors who play the main character who didn't convince me for one second that they were the same person. The 2nd act feels like an after school special.
Dull cinematography; the only noteworthy shot is the final one of the boy standing by the sea at night, too bad the shot is a Wong Kar Wai ripoff and is totally unearned as it serves no purpose to the film and is only inserted to make the ending feel deep and cause it looks nice.
The film would have gotten very little attention if it weren't for politics. Hell even with all the media buzz and awards almost no one watched it, and rightfully so.

Act I does a lot of set up and introducing you to Chiron. He bases his adult faux thug guy lifestyle on the drug dealer he befriends. It shows that his trouble with emotionally connecting with people stem from his crack whore of a mom. It shows that he and Kevin were always close, and Chiron was always bullied for being who he was. They're all important elements that are the foundation to his character arc.

Honestly no. I remember Kev was blazin' tho. I saw it in the theater too, so idk, I guess it just didn't stick with me as much as the competition. I did enjoy Act III a lot, if for no other reason because of Kevin's story and actor. Would've rather had a movie devoted to Kev. There's a tragic figure right there.

Really though timid and tragedy don't mix well. I mean the concept is in the news every day, and as messed up as it is to say it, I'm not crying for Syrian refugees no matter how much sad imagery BBC (no pun intended) throws at me. Moonlight is very Shakespearean, just without the language and acting.

>when the homosexual element wasn't even strong in the film.

Homosexuality is the crux of the movie. It's not blatant and up in your face, but Chiron's denial of his homosexual identity is what the entire movie is about. That's why it resonates with people, because anyone can relate to the feelings of being afraid to be yourself, rather than what society and your community expects/dictates you to be.

Yeah but you could've told the same story whether he was a homo or not. Again, the very fact that Chiron's entire identity was Gay and Black and Drug Dealer is topping the irony meter. I mean, why couldn't he have been into Dungeons & Dragons or something? What are his opinions on anything?

Retool? It's a story about somebody not fitting in and becoming something they aren't. Every sitcom in history has used this trope. Chiron's sexuality is a plot device that doesn't add anything to the film beyond the reason why, and that's why it's so boring. Whether you realize it or not, you've seen this story a thousand times.
>>
>>84937778
>Every sitcom in history has used this trope.

The bare bones of the story yes, but most of the scenes in the movie wouldn't work in another context. They would inevitably lose significance. Hence it would need retooling.

Why do you think this shit got an Oscar? Of course there is an agenda. The gay and feminist agenda exists. The objective is to divide and weaken a country or a group of people by distrubting them with these problems. Ever noticed how everytime the US wants to destroy a country they start talking about the lack of rights fro females and homosexuals in those countries? Distrupt, divide and conquer.
In this case it's the black community that is targeted. They did it with feminism first by "empowering" black females so that they would break the family cell in those communities, hence why there are so many black single mothers and black males in prisons.
