Moonlight

“At some point, you gotta decide for yourself who you gonna be. Can’t let nobody make that decision for you.”     Moonlight shows how homophobia slowly changes a person's entire life rather than just harming them in a single instance. You can see how Chiron becomes harder as a result of the silence, fear, and expectations of what a man should be that surround him as a child. It's not just bullying; it's a generational problem that is transmitted through the way people speak, pass judgement, and force others into hiding parts of themselves. It is devastating to watch him grow up that way because it makes you realise how different his life might have been if he had just been given the freedom to live fearlessly. The film subtly shows the harm that such a world can do to a person.
