tinyrats:

chiron struggles to be true to and loving with himself under the constraints of masculinity/gendered homophobia to the point that as an adult hes terrified of intimacy and has only let himself touch another man when he was a fucking high schooler and moonlight’s ending sees him embracing the love of his life while ending on a shot of him as a child near a moonlit ocean facing the viewer so BOLDLY as if to imply that he’s capable of returning to a sweet innocence and pride that was never afforded to him!! the fact that water throughout the film is symbolic of change in its relation to baptisms and chiron has finally developed for the better! try to show me something thats more HEALING more CATHARTIC more LOVING than that you cinema snobs!!!!!!!!!!!!
