I really don't understand people that want to act as if gay black people don't exist and that every story about them is some attack on straight people.

Or any story about gay people for that matter. Would be like saying every movie about straight people is an attack on gay people.

From what I hear. As @pickles mentioned earlier. This isn't a movie thats going to stick with you the day of...more or so the days that follow.
People I know who have seen this movie say it gets better the more you think about it over time. Or the 2nd time they see it.
I still haven't watched it yet. Gotta check out Silence and Manchester By the Sea first.

I was in the 8.5/10 range the first night I saw it.
Saw it again a few days later with my girl and it became my top film of the year, at least a full point to 9.5/10.
The things I saw as flaws the first time around didn't bother me much at all the second time. And I was able to relax and just concentrate on the intricacies instead of worrying about if he was going to get raped or anything like that.

Watched Manchester by the Seas today. Felt it was pretty overrated. One of them movies that film critic snobs fawn over.From what I hear. As @pickles mentioned earlier. This isn't a movie thats going to stick with you the day of...more or so the days that follow.

Say bruh... I trust your word...
How much gay content is in this film? I'm tryna judge whether I can watch this film or not
:Jimmy:
I listened to a podcast before I saw the movie ( don't remember which one) and it talked about how this movie lit black skintones unlike any other movie they'd seen before and I kinda laughed it off but after seeing it i was like
As I said in an earlier post you see more gay stuff on cable TV on a Sunday Night. There was one kiss and and something that was suggested that lasts like 30 seconds in the entire 2 hours.
There's about 2 mins overall

Yeah to get that blue effect which was really cool. I love the look of the movie. I wouldn't be surprised if Barry Jenkins wins best director and la la land wins best picture
Homie it's maybe 2 min or less. And it's not even that serious when it happens.
in terms of gay stuff on a mainstream movie scale from 1 to 10....moonlight is maybe a 2 at the most whereas a movie like Bruno would be like a 10

Bruno is also a comedy and a satire and meant to piss people off who have a problem with homosexuality so of course it's going to be at a 10

The movie is currently screening at the IFFR with a master class presented by Barry Jenkins, but since it came out in theaters past Thursday as well I skidded over to the other part of town so I could watch it with my unlimited subscription. It's currently #1 in the top 10 for the festival's audience award btw.
Anyway, it was great. I couldn't necessarily find myself in Jenkins' free form direction completely as he sometimes would pan the camera or frame a shot in a way that drew attention away from what was happening on screen. Other times it worked really well but overall it was a bit hit or miss.
He does have an unfukkwithable grasp on his actors though, you couldn't find a bad performance in this if you tried, as well as a way of capturing the emotions stirring under the skin of the characters. Really powerful scenes include the last scene of act 1 with Chiron asking Juan about homosexuality as well as his mother's drug addiction and Juan's role in this, and of course the talk in the diner in the third act.
And yes, the lighting and music of the movie is something special. It really elevated the movie in a way that's kinda hard to explain, but it basically makes this intimate story feel so much bigger. Like it transcends the movie beyond the story of Chiron to capture an entire generation (or generations, if you include the roles of Juan and Chiron's mom).
