Moonlight

 Welcome back to the world's best movie critic blog!!

This past week, I watched the movie Moonlight that is directed by Barry Jenkins. Moonlight had many different deeper meanings to it. In my opinion, those are the best types of movies because not only is it interesting to watch, but it also has a meaning to it. There is violence, discrimination, addiction, and abuse that is all incorporated within the movie. These are personal situations that many people deal with on a daily basis. A big theme that stood out to me while watching this is the hurt/ healing from certain childhood trauma that Chiron experienced. The movie shows many different times in his life such as when he was young, a teenager, and an adult, so it was evident how the healing process went for Chiron. Another theme that stood out to me was sexual identity. It was obvious at some points that Chiron lacked masculinity, which caused him to be bullied by many peers. This is also something that teenagers deal with everyday. Being able to resonate with movies makes them even for valuable and meaningful. Well, that's all about Moonlight. Everyone should go give it a watch, it was an awesome meaningful movie! Thanks for coming back to my blog again, come back next time! :)
