Y'all love talking that black excellence shyt, but not one thread on the Moonlight on the first page

[Soundbwoy]

i'm curious: why is it black excellence?....because it has a high rating? because it won an award?...just asking...i havent seen the movie yet, maybe it is that good, so i'll save judgement until i see it, i just have reservations.....i say that cause to me, going off the plot, it's the type of movie that non blacks tend to give high praises to just cause it portrays black people in a certain category...the categories i'm talking about: a slave, a homosexual, a help the white people kinda role, the forgiving of white people kinda role, and/or a stereotype....but that doesnt mean it's that good of a movie...like i said: maybe it is, i dont know, havent seen it yet....

How does one person so thoroughly depict the inner life of another? Although the two men had never met before Mr. Jenkins read the play, their lives had run on oddly parallel courses. They grew up blocks from each other in Miami’s Liberty City housing projects and went to the same elementary school at the same time. (Mr. McCraney is 35, Mr. Jenkins 37.) Both had mothers who were addicted to crack cocaine.

“It’s not a reach to say that at some point our moms probably were in the same [crack] dens,” Mr. Jenkins says. Although Mr. Jenkins is not gay, he says of Mr. McCraney’s play: “Reading it felt like Tarell had written a memory of my memories. Right away I could see how I would put it in my voice and tell it in images.”

2 brehs from liberty city who didnt know each other made this movie, the movie doesn't use lazy stereotypes to tell the story

I saw the film I thought is was really good plus Jànelle Monae did her thing in it also.

 

[patscorpio]

Janelle Monae was looking real too

She was...she had me a little open

 

[Wildhundreds]

Its was "ok". Pretty much reinforced the stereotype that that hardest nikkas can be gay.

 

[the cool]

Nobody trying to watch nikkas sucking big black cocks ok?

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

progressive coli dont like gay stuff
thats pretty much it

but there is a thread on the movie

how you come up with the idea that The Coli as a whole is progressive?

Neo liberal

 

[Bigbigguy]

I'll watch it eventually but I rarely pay to go see these kind of movies (Oscar bait shyt)

 

[JahBuhLun]

Act like the majority of world don't get down with the agenda, brehs.
Pretend it only happens on a forum, brehs.

Would the movie be good if the homosexuality wasn't an element?
If that's the case, then Antwoine Fisher should've got a lot more acclaim. Because it seems like a better movie imo.

thats the joke fam

This movie is truly, truly not that good. Aside from the blatant agenda pushing, it was very slow, stereotypical, no plot and corny.

If the main character wasn't gay, there would be NO Oscar buzz.

I told someone it's a mediocre version of Antwone Fisher. My point exactly.

 

[Crakface]

The movie had like a 95% rating

I know homophobia is a thing here but y'all not even talking about the film.


Was written to Channel Orange.

Great cinematography.

Great script(i got da link if y'all need)

So what's the problem Coli brehs?

Just took home the golden globe

May very well walk away with an oscar.

Its about homosexuals so the excellence is a stretch.

Remy played himself

I always found it cosmically ironic that black (statistically speaking) hate gays more than anyone else...you know, the people who suffer from racism, prejudice, etc on a daily basis.

Where are you getting this from? What evidence do you have? How many gay people have been killed by black people just for being gay? Or are you just continuing to perpetuate a stereotypical, false and idiotic talking point?
