such a beautiful movie. loved the shots and colors so much, but i left feeling a bit unfulfilled. i really liked the first two acts, but i was left a bit disappointed by the third act.

i found it interesting how they made his character physically much stronger and he clearly has more influence/power, and the juxtaposition with his strong Atlanta persona and the powerless one around his mother and the quiet, shy self around Kevin was very powerful. I just found it a bit rushed and I wish they explored it further. I found some of the final diner scenes to be a bit a dragged out, but it seemed intentional, and I did love the “Hello Stranger” song scene. One of my favorite songs ever.

I’ll definitely be thinking about this for some time though, the Blue/moonlight allegory is such a beautiful one

watched w Andrea and @sarahbeckhaus

Just read this quote when looking up other people's takeaways of Moonlight. It pretty perfectly articulates why I love this movie.

"We all are born with a certain package. We are who we are: where we were born, who we were born as, how we were raised. We're kind of stuck inside that person, and the purpose of civilization and growth is to be able to reach out and empathize a little bit with other people. And for me, the movies are like a machine that generates empathy. It lets you understand a little bit more about different hopes, aspirations, dreams and fears."

-- Roger Ebert

Moonlight is unapologetic and authentic. It is painfully human.

Worthy of its Oscar win. Worthy of getting its own moment instead of the shitshow it received.

It's a beautiful film. I wish I had watched it sooner.

"You cry?"
