Discussed: Our initial thoughts; we veer off onto a long tangent by way of asking if Moonlight is poverty porn and then wander into Academy Award representation; eventually we get back to discussing the hopeful character of Moonlight; how Moonlight sits within the legacy of queer cinema; intimacy and touch; Chiron and Kevin’s expression of their sexuality; masculinity in black and white communities; the strong and subtle performances in the movie; bullying; tragedy; Juan as a father figure; black male vulnerability; religion in the black and white communities; metal music and white people; tragedy; faith; white privilege; Christianity and black people; and the use of water throughout the movie. We hope you enjoy!
