The Missing Love Scene from the 2016 Masterpiece Film, Moonlight.

Let me preface this by saying that I have had plenty conversations and, in many cases, debates about this scene that never was. My stance has always been that I have scene men fuck before and what I was happy to see was a level of intimacy sometimes missed in love/sex scenes. I didn't miss it "need" to see such a display of sexuality in order to affirm I life I live regardless if I ever see another movie or not. What I have always appreciated about this film was it beauty. The way in which this life was painted with film was spellbinding FOR ME!!! So to come across this part of the screenplay that was omitted and I more affirmed in my choice to always love the beauty and magic of this film. Had this scene been included I would still be happy and the art this film was and the story it told. I am not backing down from my original stance. I could only deal with what was in front of me. But this right here?!! This level of care and rawness into the ways in which a number of same gender loving men love darkly and with just the the moonlight to illuminate or bodies and the ways in which hands and mouths becomes eyea. The way we see each other exist in moments of our animal is to be revered and enjoyed, makes me appreciate even more so every hand that went into such a film even if it didn't make the movie.
