Moonlight Film Review
1)Chiron doesn't speak too much as he has been getting judged by what he says and does. This is also influence by his mums drug addiction and that she used to verbally abuse him at a young age which scared him. He lacks eye contact for a long time as he feels scared or awkward. His body language connotes that he isn't a confident person meaning he tried to keep his head down and doesn't want to trouble anyone but it comes to him no matter what.
3) Juan was like a father figure to Chiron as he tried to help him through early stages of his life and when his mum became a drug addict. Juan tried to influence Chiron not to be put down by people and tries to make him feel normal about being gay to make him comfortable about his sexuality.
4) the filmmakers did this as its quite a peaceful and isolated place to be at night meaning people can be in their thoughts near the beach or be left alone. Also it takes Chiron back to the time where Juan helped him swim and made he feel normal which makes this place sentimental to Chiron.
5) The real Chiron came out when he went to see Kevin as he began to open up to him again and didn't let the past get to him as he liked Kevin. At the start of the final chapter Chiron was shown to be a changed person very dominant and powerful as he has become more built. He followed the footsteps of Juan as he copied his style which made us think he didn't care about anyones opinion and that he can handle himself and not get pushed around. On the other hand, when he met Kevin again he explained what happened and Kevin knew this wasn't who Chiron was and wanted to know what happened.
6) I liked the way they showed black people in the light of where they're not heartless (Juan) as he tries to help Chiron. Whereas in other films black people will be presented as bad minded people and only think about themselves. Also, it shows how a gay person in the rough areas get singled out and bullied for their choices and that how it can effect peoples lifestyles from bullying as it drew fear and anxiousness in him. This also shows no matter how much you've changed your past can effect you in many ways as Chiron got beaten up by Kevin but still went back to him showing their friendship or whatever they had was serious as hes forgiven but not forgotten whats happened. There's a glow upon Chiron throughout the film whether its from swimming or washing his face in ice as normally black characters are shown in dark light to show negativity but here its positive.
7) In the next chapter of Chiron's life, it will show a creating of a new strong bond between him and Kevin. This will consist of Chiron getting his feelings out and Kevin helping him to over come any fears hes got and any thoughts hes got. Chiron will start to talk about his nightmares and build his confidence and over come his nightmares. He'll get back at the people who made his teenage years terrible and he'll use his power to hurt them and put them through the pain they've caused him over the years.
