That's cool. and I can dig it. but it's not broke back mountain gay. well it kind of is but its hood gay if that makes sense. They ain't fukking or nothing its not that deep. It's a good movie tho. if you gonna say black people need movies other than "50 shades of dark" or "Menace to Society" then hell...this is a dope film. like I said coming of age. Well shot. all black people.

nikka backpedalled and said well it kind of is

I'm eventually gonna watch it tho

i checked out the trailer and was confused af by it and decided to pass on it.

IMO "MOONLIGHT" has nothing to do with the trailer?

plus it was randomly cutting to random confusing scenes - it really just confused me so im like nah, i'll passrather not waste my time

Film was a play "In the Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue" written by a young black dude (in terms of industry standards) from the projects Liberty City, who is the now head of Theater at Yale. Barry the director (who is straight) is from the same hood as the writer and they grew up a few blocks from each other but never met. The production company A24 got a hold of the story and one of the producers who knew both of them brought them together and made the film for under $5MM, which is super low for the actors they were able to attach beforehand.

This is one of my top 10 films all time and Barry is one of my biggest inspirations as a director. We gotta support the few original stories we have out here...

I haven't watched Moonlight so I can't compare, but why didn't nikkas complain about Omar being gay in the Wire, and deem it unwatchable if one character is that significant?

The Omar-wire character wasn't about him being gay, it was about him being a goon/stickup artist. He was a goon/spot rusher who happened to be gay. The gay shyt was actually unnecessary to his character. He would've been the same character if he was straight.

it added to his character at the time it was groundbreaking

It may have been groundbreaking but the only thing that it added was shock value. It was gratuitous. Him being gay wasn't essential to who he was as person.

it gave more depth to the character and it made catching an L from omar more humiliating because of the stigma

Stop trying to bring up Omar, some of us just don't want to watch it. That said, if you do, I don't see any reason to knock you for it. At the end of the day, this is considered entertainment

Everybody on the show respected Omar. He was sticking cats up without heat. Who was humiliated by taken an L from dude? I don't agree with you. Saying the same thing over and over won't change my mind either.
