Ima onda legendarna scena u Ben Stillerovom „Tropical Thunder“ u kojoj Robert Downey Jr. objašnjava Ben Stilleru da ako želi dobiti Oscara što trteba učiniti je „Never go full retard“. Jer tako su učinili i Tom Hanks i Dustin Hoffman glumeći likove koji su spori i autistični, ali nisu potpuno retardirani. Na tu scenu asocira cijela „Mjesečina“. Nitko ovdje nije retardiran, ali glavni lik je višestruko i potpuno društveno prikraćen i neprihvaćen. On je gej Afroamerikanac koji odrasta da bi bio diler droge.

Moonlight (2016) Drama | 111min | 18 November 2016 (USA) 7.4

Director: Barry JenkinsWriter: Barry Jenkins, Tarell Alvin McCraneyStars: Mahershala Ali, Naomie Harris, Trevante RhodesSummary: Three time periods - young adolescence, mid-teen and young adult - in the life of black-American Chiron is presented. When a child, Chiron lives with his single, crack addict mother Paula in a crime ridden neighborhood in Miami. Chiron is a shy, withdrawn child largely due to his small size and being neglected by his mother, who is more concerned about getting her fixes and satisfying her carnal needs than taking care of him. Because of these issues, Chiron is bullied, the slurs hurled at him which he doesn't understand beyond knowing that they are meant to be hurtful. Besides his same aged Cuban-American friend Kevin, Chiron is given what little guidance he has in life from a neighborhood drug dealer named Juan, who can see that he is neglected, and Juan's caring girlfriend Teresa, whose home acts as a sanctuary away from the bullies and away from Paula's abuse. With this childhood as a foundation, Chiron may have a predetermined path in life, one that will only be magnified in terms... Written by Huggo

Odbacivanje većine okoline i mržnja samog sebe ga prati cijeli život i čini ga nepodnošljivim, a on ipak nekako nalazi iskupljenje. Našao bi se na margini društva i kao Afroamerikanac danas u bijeloj Americi. No, kako je još i gej, to ga čini dijelom najranivije skupine nakon crnih lezbijki (pogledati „Chasing Amy“ Kevina Smitha). A postaje diler, unatoč tome što ga je majka narkomanka zanemarivala cijeli život. Čisto zato jer mu druge mogućnosti zanimanja ne preostaju. Priču o takvom tragičnom liku Barry Jenkins je uronio u poeziju svjetla i boje, u atmosferu snova i emocija koja čini da ovu gorku pilulu možemo s lakoćom progutati i još lakše suosjećati i proživjeti ono što on proživljava. I priču koja nam na početku ne bi bila toliko uvjerljiva čini uvjerljivom, jer emocije nikada ne možemo izmisliti.
