Moonlight reviews – "devastating drama is vital portrait of black gay masculinity"

[KingDanz]

the movie looks wonderfully shot, and i have to admit, emotionally striking

fakkitry doesn't pull on my heartstrings, but you don't have to agree with the subject matter to appreciate a work of art

"Moonlight" has already accomplished what it set out to do. It changed the narrative from white supremacy's boot up our collective ass to highlighting how "homophobic" the Black community is and to "if Black Lives Matter then what about gay Black lives?"

It got really good reviews. Seems a bit slow and soft for me to enjoy (based on previews), but I want to support.

I'm glad they finally found some attractive men to play these roles. Some of the breakout Black gay entertainment a few years back had no eye candy, so I never watched.

The director isnt gay.


He's also adapting this book next

Seriously, what is that? I hear some black women online crying about it but nobody can define it for me.

Look at how rappers act. People killing for their egos or beating women for not giving them their numbers. There is such a thing as toxic masculinity, it's just liberals tend to brush all outward forms of masculinity under that same umbrella

fukk this
best representation of black masculinity in a movie
Denzel in John Q
Sam Jackson in A Time To Kill
Black men willing to do whatever to protect their family

Want to see the film but dunno where it's being played at

The reviews are great, so it will definitely be expanded to more screens. You just have to keep looking. It only opened in 4 theatres

Lol. Black movies are now basically:
stupid romantic shyt starring morrris chestnut, etc
Unfunny comedies starring Kevin hart or Tyler perry
Biopics of musicians or some brave slave.

Take rare, extreme examples of violence from men and make them a bigger problem than it really is, brehs.


And, please, define "toxic masculinity." If you can't assign a definition to it, it doesn't exist.

The mainstream depiction of black men is either an athlete or thug rapper. Its not rare, that's how most people view blocks. It's funny how this site complains about black men constantly being viewed as thugs in media but think there is an agenda to emasculate them

Unlike The Birth of a Nation, this got Oscars written all over it.

Only showing downtown, and I hate traveling to Manhattan on weekends. They basically quarantine North, north, north, northeast Bronx residents.

Getting all the buzz films on DVD, it more practicable and affordable. Hopes this is released soon as well as Birth.
