Welcome Renegade Nation it’s me Naughty Nicole and it’s time for another Renegade Review. And this time around, we’re focusing on the abortion that has Hollywood patting itself on it’s back for being the moral center of America… Moonlight.
How do we become, well… us? Are we puzzles? A mosaic of who we are from birth, with that picture being revealed a little more day by day, piece by piece? Are we clay? Are we shaped and molded and fashioned by age and experience, until we become something we never would've guessed? Or, are we both? These are the questions Moonlight looks to answer, and quite honestly, falls short. Now that’s not to say the movie isn’t riveting or compelling, but I began my journey with this movie not quite knowing what to expect, and by the end, I was left with only one question… What the F**K did I just watch…
Chiron was born into Miami's mean streets although the movie doesn’t really hint this until about 1/3 of the way in when you can see a police squad car. His mother is a crack addict and his father is nowhere to be found. The movie starts when Chiron, or as they call him, Little, is roughly 10 maybe 11, after all, he is… well, little. He's a quiet boy in a loud world. He's soft in a place of hard. He's different: and Everyone sees it.
