68 - "If Beale Street Could Talk"

"If Beale Street Could Talk" is great film that deals with injustice and how to get through it out. The tale is embodied by Tish & Fonny, who are beyond in love, separated by bars due to a crime Fonny was wrongfully convicted of. Tish is carrying Fonny's baby and with support of her family, they try to turn things around. But like life, there are challenges that one must get by with no guarrantee and that's what I love from the film personally, the fact that we're seeing a window to these fictional people's lives and seeing what their realities are. Barry Jenkins did a great job writing and directing this film, showing us how breaking the fourth wall has more dimensions than it seems. The eyes, they never lie. We see these characters be these characters to the truest nature, which is another thing I talk about, highlighted with excellent cinematography that teaches how to use light to set a tone or distress it. Enjoy.
