Just seen Moonlight - arguably one of the best movies I have ever watched. How on earth can critics and film makers have praised La La Land ahead of this? My only question is - is it ten or twenty times better? Moonlight has superb cinematography, directing and editing as well as the obvious script and acting gems. It is intelligent and complex and sensitive.
Naomie Harris is superb. This is not, repeat not, a black movie; it is a human movie and for that reason I cannot blame racism for failing to award it top prizes. I blame the superficiality that has taken over our species. La La is primary colours, superficial, slick and ordinary. Easy to consume, not bad not good. Moonlight is brilliant, complicated, original. |
