I think about love on a scale from 1 to 10. Most of us find a 6 or 7, and that’s why we have divorce. It’s the truth. We settle for that 6 or 7. But I like to think Kevin is Chiron’s 10. He’s found that and he realizes that there’s no reason to settle for a 6 or a 7 because, “I know this person is my 10. Whether or not this person believes I’m his 10, I’m going to devote my life to this person entirely.” That’s why the line where he says, “You’re the only man that’s ever touched me,” for me, was the most amazing, most beautiful thing I’ve seen in cinema, period. Because that’s what we strive for as people, to find that one person because they’re there. If Kevin doesn’t feel that they should be together, Chiron is just going to die a miserable person because that’s his person and he won’t settle for anything else. But I like to think they’re together, walking in Central Park hand-in-hand when they’re 90 years old. - Trevante Rhodes
“Sometimes round the way, where we live, you can catch the same breeze. It just come through the hood and it’s like everything stop for a second… ‘cause everyone wanna feel it. Everything just gets quiet, you know?” “And it’s like you can hear your own heartbeat. Right?” “Yeah… Feels so good, man.” “So good…” “Hell, shit make you wanna cry, feel so good.” “You cry?” “Nah. Makes me want to.”
moonlight 2016 is like on many levels the only movie that matters i cry thinking about you’re the only man that ever touched me and you drove all the way down here? and one chefs special, coming right up and sometimes i cry so much i feel like ill turn into drops 🥺
its like “i love you i want us both to eat well” and “lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. they’re in each other all along.” and “hello stranger, it feels so good to see you back again, how long has it been?” and “i haven’t really touched anyone since” and “what you got to be sorry for?” and “i follow you into your dreams your past the place none of us can explain to anyone” and “i’ll give you my heart to make a place for it to happen, evidence of a love that transcends hunger”
