The Movie Moonlight
The movie “Moonlight” was very interesting to me. It covers bullying, abuse, finding yourself, peer pressure, etc. things like this happen every day people just don’t pay attention to it or want to believe what it really is. I think the main purpose of the film was to help people come to their senses and rethink about the decisions they make and also to realize where they come from and how it affects how they are today. The major theme of this movie was to not judge a book by its cover without knowing the full story. If Chiron’s bullies really knew where he came from and how his life was they might not have bullied him. His life was difficult growing up already with his mom being an addict and they didn’t make it any better. Bullying somebody …show more content…
At the point when a youngster, Chiron lives with his single, split fiend mother Paula in a wrongdoing ridden neighborhood in Miami. Chiron is a timid, pulled back kid to a great extent because of his little size and being ignored by his mom, who is more worried about getting her fixes and fulfilling her lewd needs than dealing with him. In light of these issues, Chiron is tormented, the slurs flung at him which he doesn't comprehend past realizing that they are intended to be frightful. Other than his same matured Cuban-American companion Kevin, Chiron is given what little direction he has in life from an area street pharmacist named Juan, who can see that he is disregarded, and Juan's girlfriend Teresa, whose home goes about as an asylum far from the harassers and far from his moms manhandle. With this youth as an establishment, Chiron may have an anticipated way in life, one that might be amplified regarding its issues when he achieves his troublesome adolescent years when peer pressure influences what he and a significant number of his companions do, unless he takes after Juan's recommendation of really settling on his own choices for

    Every character in stories has a goal, a motive, or a dream that they must fulfill. Whether it be getting the girl or defeating the villain. All characters have something to strive for, ending in success... or failure. There are a lot of characters with dreams in the story Shoeless Joe. Mark’s dream is that of a land developer. Ray’s dream is to see his father and save his field and farm. Salinger’s dream becomes a baseball fan’s dream. All of these are great dreams, but the most interesting is that of Moonlight Graham.…

    The film also portrays the stereotypes that were used against the group of Asian American friends. At a party, a couple of white varsity sports players made racist jokes against them, but that caused Daric, one of the main characters, to fight them and the Asian American group ended up beating one of the white varsity players. After that, people at the high school started treating them with more respect. Another interesting aspect about the movie was that there were no parents. I felt that this brought all of the attention towards the struggles that the high school students felt, without being repressed by the perspective of the parents. I enjoyed this film very much. I thought it was very funny and was also very accurate on portraying the stereotypes that Asian American high schoolers had to go through.…

    The movie was very powerful just to learn about hate crime and how it attracted a lot of attention from media as well as public all over the world due to his tragic death. Matthew was the type of person that was very approachable and always put his family and friends first. Even though the death of Matthew Shepard was undeserved I definitely think that some good has come out of it because it made people realize how much violence and hatred there in the world and what it can turn into. This tragedy helped the nation wake up to the fact that hate and discrimination still lives in our communities, schools and families. Mr. Dennis Shepard gave speech in tribute to his son Matthew brought tears in my eyes. I was able to connect and engage to that moment. That moment touched me so much that I couldn’t stop crying.…

    After watching the movie, I became more aware of what the current time era presented to people. And that was ignorance, violence, prejudices, and discrimination towards people who looked differently than that of one’s self. I have much respect for the people who had to go through so much trouble just because they were different. I also enjoyed the movie because Singleton incorporated scenes that may seem out of the ordinary is today’s society, but is what really happened during the days of America…

    The theme of this movie is that we should treat everyone with equal respect, regardless of their skin color or race, sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity, or religion. We should accept everyone for who they are, rather than trying to change them. It also shows the integration of a racist America into a culturally accepting society with the help of a teacher/coach.…

    Both of us identified more with moonlight even though she is a non-black WOC and I am white. We are both queer with not supportive, abusive parents and come from low income households. Something we have bonded over is our trauma, especially trauma related to our queerness. It makes sense that we both relate more to Moonlight, which shows racial, parental, and societal trauma. Moonlight reflects the experience of trauma that many LGBTQ+ people relate to, unaccepting and abusive parents who may suffer with addiction along with the ways marginalized identities interact with one another.…
