INDIE „MOONLIGHT”

LGBT movies are something of a must-film for this cinematographic season, regardless of the level of production.

„Play the devil” is a micro indie flick, made, filmed and acted by the local group of Trinidadian cinematographers. It deals with a several hundred times already seen subject of a young man struggling with his sexuality. It doesn't offer anything new, it doesn't open new subjects nor does it make a strong finishing. It just basically loiters in the limbo during its entire course.

„Play the devil” isn't a fragment of the movie it could have been if done the proper way.

„OSCARS” SO BLACK

Politically correct stories are one of the greatest cancers eating out modern day US cinema. With liberal and left-wing lobby on Hollywood's helm, cinematographers are really tempted to choose only certain stories in order to harvest the rewards.

„Moonlight” is one of those stories, revolving around the young gay African-American, living in a ghetto and being raised by a junkie mother. Sexual and racial inequity with some addiction issues and you have a huge „oscar” winner looming. It doesn't matter that the story basically doesn't exist, nor that all the nominated roles are well below the average. You are a socially active flick and therefore represent the „wet dream” of liberal mainstream media and critics.

Not everything is empty here, though. There will be some grim atmosphere, some good cinematography and solid acting by young Sanders, but that's it.

„Moonlight” will reap this year's „oscars” and it will do UNDESERVEDLY.
