This is a film about an African-American man who is homosexual, living in a hood environment where that kind of lifestyle is not accepted. The film takes three chapters to lead us through his journey of life. The way Chiron's character is first portrayed really heightens the empathy we feel as an audience for him- his continued silence while accepting help from strangers immediately shows deprived he is of affection by his mother. He wears a face of defeat and his body language is slouched and not confident. This shows his emotion without the character having to speak: this is applicable to real life situations which is why this element had such an impact. As the chapters progress we are shocked with the change in levels of emotion, from the crippling violence to the first confirmation of his sexuality, and to his mother desperately seizing his money for  drugs. While all these scenes are intensely graphic,  we are stunned by the way Chiron has to deal with his hardship on a day
