I think about love on a scale from 1 to 10. Most of us find a 6 or a 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

At some point, you gotta decide for yourself who you gonna be. Can’t let nobody make that decision for you.

–I ain’t seen you in like, a decade. It’s not what I expected.
–… What did you expect?
Moonlight (2016) dir Barry Jenkins
I was a wild li’l shorty, man, just like you. Runnin’ around with no shoes on when the moon was out. This one time… I run by this old… this old lady. I was runnin’, hollerin’… cuttin’ a fool, boy. This old lady, she stopped me. She said… “Running around, catching up all that light. In moonlight, black boys look blue. You blue. That’s what I gon’ call you. Blue.”
