Moonlight: Response Post

Moonlight was an interesting movie and enjoyable as far as I can say. From childhood to early adulthood Chiron has yet to find where he truly fits. Something I believe that the movie does well is get the viewer to really see from Chiron’s point of view, his feelings, and the problems that impact him. We were able to get insight and see how it feels from one’s perspective to get bullied, have a parent that is addicted to drugs, be unsure of sexuality and, live in poverty. These struggles are something brought to light in the film and can really give people an understanding. We also can analyze from other points of view in the film. One other point of view being Kevin’s, the person who was supposed to be cool with Chiron but also can’t really find where he fits in his life until the end of the movie. Kevin essentially played a two faced role when him and Chiron were at the teen stage of their lives, him being Chiron’s only “reliable” friend, then him switching up was also a serious impact on Chiron’s life.
