She filmed all of her scenes over 3 days in the middle of press tour for Spectre....astonishing
Holy SHIT!
Carlo Everyone's reaction
She had a much more significant and impactful role on the film than mahershali ali character. She should have at least been nominated. She did great. Her performance was the best of any character in the film
She should've won the Oscar just for that because she really got this part down. This, unfortunately, is often how so many black gay boys come up.
@@atlboo98 She was nominated. She would’ve won if Viola Davis hadn’t committed category fraud to win.
a sad but healing moment for every person who came from a dysfunctional home: when you recognize your parents as humans. not god figures or tyrannical antagonists but people as confused as you are.
well said...very well said!
true
Camille Pango damn I needed this
True, but still; Fuck my parents :/
truth...😢
We can all learn from Paula when she says "Your heart aint gotta be black like mine baby" Just because someone didn't do right by you doesn't mean you need to pass that hate/hurt on... Thank you Paula.
uy97 why? That doesn't do anyone any good especially not yourself. If someone hurt you, you should know why it's not a good thing to do.
Crying
@@toriallen5024 She acnowledges that things she did to Chiron is wrong. She tried her best to bring the old Chiron back.
As someone who grew up with a drug-addicted mother, this was heart-wrenching, especially because this was the kind of moment I wished I could have had with my mother, who is incapable of experiencing guilt or self-awareness of her actions. But I forgave her for myself and not for her.
Freddyfan951 I'm very sorry u had to go through that.
I feel so heartbroken at the thought of all the pain you must’ve gone through, I hope you find some semblance of peace 🤍
We go through it and wish a moment like this comes… she acted this scene out!!!!!!
Whew, right??? I mean having a parent actually self aware of the ways they hurt their children and apologize is rare enough without the dysfunction and abuse.
You have to forgive them for yourself because they don't know how to acknowledge that they actually did anything wrong to you no matter how obvious it is. They couldn't put themselves in your shoes to see how painful the things they've done really are. Some will never apologize, but many make disingenuous apologies that aren't sincere just to get back in to somehow use you for their own purpose. Forgive them but never allow them close enough to continue hurting you. I found out the hard way that being the bigger person and doing for them what they would never do for you, doesn't make you the bigger person, but a gullible fool..
I was balling when his mother apologized. She didn't just do a general apology to appease him.
She said..."God knows I didn't have love for you when you needed it..I know that.."
That's a mother who is horrified at what she put him through. So this was for her to forgive herself as much as it was to forgive her.
Nah she apologised when it was convenient for HER, not when it was good for HIM.
It’s a movie, not your mom.
MOONLIGHT WON BEST PICTURE!!!
MOONLIGHT WON BEST PICTURE!!!
MOONLIGHT WON BEST PICTURE!!!
lol! you commented this on a lot of scenes!!!
angespo 😁 people said it wouldn't win so I'm letting them know that it did
Courtnaayyy Olu Dara you have to let them know
agreed!
Courtnaayyy Olu Dara Hidden Figures got snubbed
it's amazing how lighting a cigarette for another becomes a real show of love, concern. just as when he was a kid, chiron finds himself looking after his mother. this scene is fantastic in so many ways.
the best part is, it was completely improvised!
It says in the script that Naomie Harris was supposed to light up the cigarette for herself, but when they turned the scene, Trevante Rhodes took it
and I think it only makes the scene even more beautiful, by creating empathy
The cig can symbolize a tainted relationship but Chiron still is taking care of his mother. Every scene is beautiful in this movie.
Naomie Harris, a young, gorgeous, British woman--playing an old, run-down, American woman--is perfection.
Wished this movie was longer or something.
3 Days with 3 different actors in 3 different scenes. And she killed it every scene she was in. Had Viola not won, she would've been a sure win in the Best Supporting Actress category this year.
Amazing scene. Her talk with Chiron probably played a huge part in Chiron deciding to do something different with his life. Its a great apology to. Genuine without selfpitiyng excuses. Really goes to show that the person who caused your wounds is usually the one who can heal them to.
Hated her character but at 2:13 when she said "i'm so sorry"and the look in her eyes just brung a tear in my eye and i wasn't as angry. Terrific acting all round
I saw this movie in a small theater with a predominantly white audience. When this scene happened it was like someone kicked open the emotional floodgate in that room. People were legitimately crying some audibly. I’ve never experienced anything like before or since, which really speaks to how powerful that scene was.
She acknowledged his pain, that must have lifted a weight off of his shoulders.
plus she apologized for not being there for him.
The part where she tried to light the cigarette was improvised. She was supposed to have lighted it. She couldn't and so Trevante took it and lit it. The director just let the cameras keep rolling.
Also, according to Naomie Harris, she and Trevante met for the first time right before they shot this scene. The director, Barry Jenkins, wanted to keep the acting as fresh as possible.
jayson biggs Woah, really? That's amazing! It never ever crossed my mind that it could be improvised! This movie is a fucking masterpiece. The actors are AMAZING
jayson biggs i think it’s genius that they let it keep rolling! It honestly showed how he forgave her, and how, even when he was a little boy, he always had her back and was there for her. That definitely amplified that scene in my opinion
@@bribri6256 ikr
That made me cry. This scene means so much to me, and now knowing how natural the filming process was makes me even happier. This film is so so meaningful
Damn... this scene hit me right in the feels. Just imagine, a bully or someone who did you wrong in the past and calls you after all those years to apologize. That feeling... just let it sink in.
Nate Perello it's a really freeing one, indeed
Not only apologize, but be so vulnerablely real
It feels nothing, because they only apologise when it's convenient for THEM, not when YOU need it. What's done is done, some things can't be walked back from. Let them drown in guilt and walk away.
@@HoodlumMedia You know, despite it being 6 years since I commented, I have to agree with you. At that time, I was all about being positive (I still am to a certain extent), but there are certain things that have happened in life that I just can’t let slide. I mean, like you said, what’s done is done, but I would NEVER want to speak to those that did me wrong.
@@alfredschnozzenstein1657 Yeah man, cut them out, don't let them into your sphere of influence in any way. I don't forgive but i definitely accept what happened, it doesn't bother me one bit today. Blood does not mean anything, you're born into a genetic lottery and could have been any family, it just so happened to be them. sure, it gives you a bond, but doesn't make them family, it's an illusion. The worst people are always family, because they CAN do horrible things and most people keep going back because they're related. It's BS.
1:20-1:33
"You hear me, Chiron?"
"I hear you mama."
Wipes tear.
Gets me every time! 😢😭
He said "I hate you mama"
@@JakeSmith-rv1hm No, he did not.
@@Mpc333k Yes, he did
@@JakeSmith-rv1hm No. It was supposed to be different in the original screenplay but both actors improvised during this scene and Rhodes said “I hear you mama” instead because it was more consistent with the dialogue. Barry stuck with the improv.
@@Mpc333k All you need to do is use your ears and listen to him say "hate"
Nevermind the fact that it makes all the sense in the world from the build up of the plot for Chiron to say he hates her in this moment. It's also what makes his forgiveness more cathartic. In short, use your ears and actually watch the film.
My favortie scene of the movie. Im gonna be honet with you guys, i really cried like a baby. The acting there was phenomenal.
When I first saw that scene in the theater I almost completely lost it, too! I really had to struggle to not start crying like a baby, too. I felt such emotion well up inside of me.
If Viola wasn't in this category Naomi would have the Oscar on lock!!
I think Naomie was way better than Viola, she should have won
viola was not that great in fences, i actually preffered her in the help. naomi absolutly killed this role though. def should have won
porterhouse1974 viola should have , too me, been in the lead catagory
Magark You must be smoking crack, Viola was outstanding in fences
Viola WAS outstanding in Fences, that is true. But I think Naomie was outstanding too, even more than Viola
I cry every time at this scene you can feel the hole in shiron. All the pain he had endured emotionally from his mom. Which made him questioned his love for her because of her lack of love for him. But in this scene you can see she feels sorry and just wrong for what she has done to him knowing he might not love her.
He had to wipe his own tears away, helped her light her cigarette, wiped her tears away, initiated hug.. wow. without any context from previous scenes the relationship dynamic here is already so sad. I can just imagine the neglect and abuse.
I'm a crying mess in this scene. Such a powerful and heartfelt moment.
what absolutely blows my mind is... this is a film. not something actually happening in front of me. but it is, all the time and it breaks my heart as much as this movie is.
This scene is something that is a rarity, true human emotions carving into themselves looking deeper and seeing the humanity in each other. The relationship within mother and child is a bond that is so strong that not even past tragedies can shake it.
Powerful scene! I cried during this scene. You can see it in her body language and her voice that she is truly whole heartly sorry. Loved it when he wiped his mother's tears away.
My folks will never apologize like this lady did for not accepting him from the start
It makes a real man to see that his mother is only human and had her issues!
it just takes an understanding person, has nothing to do with "real man"
zelvanyan Not everyone can have compassion towards people who wasn't there for them when they needed them. This scene hit home for me cause this was me plenty of times with my mother as well.
William Brown that's why i said it takes an understanding person.
zelvanyan It's hard cause after everything she put him tho
It's like the cameras disappeared and can feel the scene itself. I watched this movie by accident. One of the best films.
Saw this movie just a few months before my Daughter was born, what a wonderful year for film and my life, as well as all the time I spent working on computers and having an excellent time trying Linux Distros, a lot of which I experienced these incredible times on :)
Both of them broke his heart in different ways....This forever be #1 movie. I can't wait it to mycause no t going lie it too sad
Moonlight is one of the greatest movies of all time. Barry , the director, is a genius .
I almost never cry in movies or series it's sooo rare. This scene made me cry like a baby for real
So many parts of this movie give me chills still every time I watch it. 100% deserving of that Oscar
OMG the acting!!!
This made me cry
Definitely my favorite scene in the film. I love the way Chiron lights his mother's cigarette and gently wipes the tears from her face. It's a simple gesture but there's so much meaning behind it.
Silver Snail14 yeah and the crazy thing is the lighter really wasnt workin. Worked out so well and made the scene beautiful
No way I could have worked on this film without tears in my eyes.
I finally watched this movie and I was not emotionally prepared AT ALL
Great scene
She was riveting to watch in every scene......Amazing Performance by Naomi Harris!!
This scene makes me cry every single time I see it. Forgiveness is for you not for them.
When Chiron lights her cig I cried.
Naomi is damn good
01:18 the tears, awesome acting. BTW could you pls post the last scene which they embrace each other gently. It makes me think of Adele's ALL I ASK, If this is my last night with you, hold me like more than just a friend..... the best movie I've watched for years!!!!!
Naomi was scary in this movie.She was great in character.This was a perfect role for her.
This scene made me cry
This movie is deep I'm emotional just from these shorts clips, as a gay male and grew up with a mother who dealt with addiction it's very relatable and hits close to home
The trailer was subtle, but it really was perfect, enough for this scene
One of the best scenes ever next to Juan, Teresa and young chiron at juans table
Listen to who Ma
Huh?
To You?
Really Tho?
😍😍😍😍😍😍😢😢😢😢
This scene made me cry so many times
"You ain't gotta luv me...but you gon know that I luv you". Dam Hits ya right there. And btw I just farted
And you killed the moment.
Brilliant and fearless actress 👏
Any nigga that was raised by there mom can relate! This scene was hard for me to watch. It didnt hit me til my late teens 20 When a nigga realized how hard it is/was for a Female(MOMS) to raise a boy into a man with little to no help, mistakes happen! Especially when our woman are always being lead astray by Temptations of life, and fuckup niggaz influence's... This scene forced some tears... Love is funny sometimes!
Eric Favors man....well said
Eric Favors..reading your statement has tears flowing even harder out of my eyes. Thank you for posting this and I pray my 15 year old will get it, but it's not happening anytime soon. I stopped living, dreaming and practically dyed to myself just to raise my children from babies after divorce. I was so overwhelmed I was ready for ANY kind of outlet, (men, weed, alcohol) and never did any of them. I prayed, cried, and took depression meds to stay sane. I'm much better than I was back then when they were babies. I promise you will never know how much your words mean to me and is healing my spirit and I don't even know you. Thank you so much. :)
Y'all need to see her in Mandela. Let her shake you up again. She's been great the whole time
The thing I'll always remember about this film is her performance 👏🏻 not even Mahershala compared to this
her performance was highly underrated
dmc 96 Agreed. Not to take away from Mahershala's performance. He was brilliant. It's clear, though, from the two most powerful scenes in the film, IMO (this scene and the one where Ali's character confronts her in the car) that it was Naomi who allowed the other actors to shine.
ANYONE WHO DISLIKES THIS VIDEO CAN THROW HANDS WITH ME RIGHT NOW.
Jazmine Brown and I will jump in and help!
Jazmine Brown how about a finger instead? 🖕
Touching scene...I always thought she was pretty but not a real actress. Now I know she can transform. She's definitely got more than looks - very talented!
When something is hard to watch but you can't look away.
The other layer to this scene I love is that it's implied that Chiron used his money from dealing to put his mom into rehab
Wow never thought of that. Nice 🙏🏽
She's an excellent actress her character is truly pitiful, hard to empathize with and easy to hate.
Chiron was a rose seed that had fallen among thorns
The single tear couldn’t have been better produced
The fucking single tear is the best acting Black did during the entirety of this movie
Damn he fine🤷🏾♀️
What
Fuck that forgiveness shit. Some parents don't deserve it.
No they don't.
Nope
Agreed.
holy shit this scene really got to me
Naomie was robbed for best supporting actress..the Academy sabotaged this category by putting Viola in there when she SHOULD have been nominated for best leading actress for Fences. Idc idc idc no one can tell me any different.
I like Chiron man. After his childhood and most of his life was ruined he forgave her which inturn he forgave himself.
Sad scene went to see his mother
Emotional scene very well done
This fucking movie. Dear gawd. Fuckin ripped my heart out.
When she said I'm sorry baby I felt that.
Wish I got to do this with my mother.. who passed away from drugs.
I remember going though the same thing with my mom lucky his mom got help,mine didn't she at 42 am now 58 year and this part comes again to hunt,this time it hunt with a reason,and tell me I was down this parth before.
What ive always wanted my father to say.
Im so sorry not im sorry you felt that way
Reminds me of my mother, tone of her voice, skin, dependent on cigarettes and all
The best revenge would have been to not forgive her. He owed her nothing. He could've of told her no one will miss her and no one would go to her funeral, and that would've given just as much closure
No That's wrong cause she's still his mother no matter what & always will be. Yes she was horrible to him & made plenty of bad choices. But she's admitting that she was wrong & she genuinely apologized. Better late than never
@@myckalaross8973 sometimes it is too late lmao. It may be “wrong” but people don’t owe you a second chance just because you apologized, family or not. You can cut anyone out your life that is toxic, it just depends on how much compassion you have for them.
I see what you mean and yes that’s true too. Sadly I’ve learned that from experience
Lol that is a power fantasy and I’m not sure how much closure that would given anyone. Because at the end of the day, all Chiron really ever wanted was not to overpower his mother, but for her to love him and provide him with the tenderness he was craving. She was finally in a place to give it to him. He is gonna be healed through that more than anything. The parent child dynamic is just different from other relationships. That parent child bond is literally the first attachment you experience and that shit bleeds into everything else.
So if your parent can come to you like this, then it is usually more useful to work on repairing the relationship. Because that can be so critical to healing the cracks in your foundation.
The man is hot
It makes me wonder how many people wouldn't have forgiven her.
A lot!!!
Me
You should wonder about how rare it is for children to even have these moments with their parents where they apologize for the harm they caused them. Because children being unable to forgive their parents after they come to them like THIS, is less of a problem than you think. I mean kids still regularly offer forgiveness in the absence of an apology.
*wipes tears* aw shit there goes them damn onions being cut in my room again...
And they play Cucurucucu Paloma at the end, I'm dead
I hate forgiveness
That's not right because she's apologizing to him now when she should have done it when he was still a child
My father love me so much what I do as wrong I drink he still loves me so much I wish I could be like him to live like he before I was born I wish I could met I was older enough to love him so much I become
They got rid of the full scene. Wow.
I know
8H chiron
shit made me cry fuckk
This was all manipulation!
I think this scene is acted amazingly from both individuals involved, but I still fucking hate this scene. It seems contrived to think of all times Chiron visits his mother, this is the time she begs for forgiveness and he forgives her. Give me a break.
It's a movie lmao, the whole point is to show us the moments where interesting things happen.
This scene is amazing!!! Not. How many times has this same scene been done before in countless other movies? Boring. Top it off with lazy over the shoulder camera perspectives.
