The chapter will examine the nuanced portrayal of Black masculinity in the critically acclaimed coming-of-age drama Moonlight (2016), written and directed by Barry Jenkins. The intersection of Blackness and queerness has largely been ignored or even stigmatized in past cultural representation of Black masculinity. Moonlight, however, invites scrutiny of the impact that questions of identity, masculinity, and sexuality can have on the portrayal of Black masculinity. As the title of the movie, adapted from the play by Tarell Alvin McCraney In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue, suggests and the movie repeatedly alludes to, Black boys and men are expected to keep up an overly ‘masculine’ persona. This façade can only be dropped when the soft light of the moon turns them blue. These blue moments of emotionality, intimacy, and vulnerability occur repeatedly in Jenkins’S film, allowing other facets of masculinity to shine through. The chapter shows how, within these scenes, which intertwine themes of Black male identity formation in conjunction with intimate relationships between men, distinct spaces emerge. In these spaces, individuals find the freedom to express emotions, embrace vulnerability, and exhibit affectionate and nurturing behavior. These inter-male relationships or moments of closeness are interpreted in this chapter as a form of queering in the film. Queering, on the one hand, because same-sex closeness has no legitimacy in typical constructions of Black masculinity or is even dismissed. But, queering also applies to the sexual identity of Chiron, the movie’s protagonist, as conveyed in some of the analyzed scenes. Ultimately, my enqueery of Moonlight shows that the movie provides room for a more multifaceted and less confining representation of Black masculinity. It counters narratives of aggression, dominance; and violence often attributed to Black male characters in the past US media landscape.
