Antal Szerb was a noted Hungarian scholar and writer. He is generally considered to be one of the major Hungarian writers of the 20th century. Post production began in November 2015 and was completed in April 2016. [44] The film was edited in Los Angeles [39] by Joi McMillon and Nat Sanders, former university schoolmates of Jenkins. [42] Sanders was responsible for editing the first and second chapters. [45] McMillon was responsible for the third act which included the "diner scene", a favorite of the cinematographer Laxton. [46] [47] Jenkins looked for financing for the film during 2013, finding success after showing the script to the executives of Plan B Entertainment at the year's Telluride Film Festival.

[23] Casting [ edit ] Screenwriter and director, Barry Jenkins Although, to Szerb's credit, he does try to make an uplifting statement out of what is essentially a totally inane plot with an utterly slapable ninny of an MC. Unfortunately, to today's understanding, his 'uplifting' could have easily been taken from an office inspirational poster, it's so cliche.

I've watched this movie so many times and it was my absolute favorite film of 2016 so I'm very familiar with this story and the characters but once I saw that the screenplay was available online I knew I needed to read it!

A long pause from Kevin, the song wedging itself in his thoughts right now, pushing everything aside.

Stephen Savage’s luminous Moonlight . . . immediately taps into the energy of the unknown. . . . His precise, musical language feels entirely of a piece with the art. . . . The book’s irresistible momentum is exactly what makes it soothing. It evokes the lulling pleasure of being aboard a speeding train, the feeling of being carried swiftly and smoothly to a safe destination.” —The New York Times kitabın merkezinde aynı zamanda Faustvari ve Antik Yunan bir manifesto olarak karşımıza çıkıyor. Szerb, son derece zekice mistik öğeler ekleyerek Mihaly’ın bu keşfediş deneyimini bazen tragedya ve komedya referansları ekleyerek okura müthiş bir edebi deneyime maruz bırakıyor. Tragedya etkisini Szerb, seçtiği diğer yan karakterlerde de çok net bir şekilde görünür kılınıyor. During his keynote presentation at the 2018 SXSW Festival, Jenkins read the acceptance speech he had prepared in the event of Moonlight winning Best Picture at the Academy Awards. He had been unable to deliver the intended speech at the ceremony due to the confusion over La La Land being mistakenly announced as the winner. [109]

The use of natural and ambient light throughout the film mixed with small warm fill lights and touches of color play on the film’s dream-like sense of reality. Laxton cites director Spike Lee and Claire Denis as inspirations as well as Wong Kar-Wai’s work on films like Happy Together and In the Mood For Love. Notes of Wai’s work can be felt in some of the most dramatic moments where Chiron’s mother, Paula, played by Naomie Harris, stands over her son scolding him while a pink light glows from her bedroom. Unlike his wife, it's the first time that Mihaly visits Italy and he's deeply fascinated by the country due to its glorious past rather than because of what he sees around him. To Mihaly, Italy means first and foremost Goethe, the Renaissance and the Ancient Romans' deeds in a dramatic and sentimental manner that brought to my mind 'Peter Camenzind' by Herman Hesse.

Kitabın genel yorumuna geçmeden önceden "Antal Szerb ve Macar Edebiyatı" konusunda genel bir bilgi vermenin yorumun algılanmasında çok önemli olduğunu düşünüyorum. Çünkü okuma sırasında ve sonrasında kendi araştırmalarım doğrultusunda bulduğum olguların, bu kitabın "bence neden çok özel bir kitap olduğunun bir nevi savı aynı zamanda da yeni okuyacaklar için önemli bir yol haritası meydana getirecek ve bunun yanında kurgusal yapının da bu genel çerçeve dahilinde daha da anlaşılır kılacaktır."

Journey by Moonlight' ('Utas és holdvilág'), published in 1937, is widely considered as Szerb's masterpiece, but I must confess that I liked 'The Pendragon Legend' - his first novel - a hint more.Mihály’s road led downwards, even if he survived, survived everything and came to tranquil, tedious old age. We carry within ourselves the direction our lives will take. Within ourselves burn the timeless, fateful stars. Last but not least, I'm sharing one of the most iconic exchange between two romantically involved characters: It is Mihály who steps off, stepping off the train during his honeymoon in Italy. He leaves his new bride Erzsi on the train. It seems an accident when Mihály steps off, but it is no accident. There was a group of friends in Mihály's impressionable years. Of his friends - and they all play a part in the story - it is Éva he is chasing. But, to keep the story going, he does not know that. Rose, Steve (February 27, 2017).
