Welcome back video heads! In our seventh episode we start in on a wonderful and Best Picture winning film, Moonlight!
Join us as we delve into a film told in three parts, co-written by two men who lived the realities told in this story. A young black boy must navigate growing up, masculinity, and what it means to be gay while doing so. Along the way he encounters that many people have a lot of different ideas about those things and how she should approach them. But what does he want, and can he attain it?
This is the first all black cast and LGBT film to win Best Picture --- despite the best efforts of some presenter to give it to La La Land snafu which caused some drama for it at the Oscars! It also had Mahershala Ali win Best Supporting Actor as the first Muslim person to do so, and the film win Best Adapted Screenplay as it was adapted from a short play penned by the co-writer of Moonlight (Tarell Alvin McCraney).
