Moonlight

Haven’t seen it since it came out, and now at my 22 years of age, it hit me hard I’ve never seen the issues of masculinity portrayed in such a way that can be relatable depending on your life situation; mommy and daddy issues, appearing as something you’re not, sexuality, confronting people, being at your lowest, drugs, gang violence, etc. Chiron taught us that our past defines us as people and there’s no changing of that, but what really matters most is the acceptance of ourselves and the reinvention of it, just like Kevin did. This is the biggest question a man has to answer in their life, because: Juan: [to Little] “At some point, you gotta decide for yourself who you gonna be. Can't let nobody make that decision for you” (Not even mad this won over LaLa Land)
