Discuss and critically interpret the dominant visual metaphors in Moonlight and Precious

    Discuss and critically interpret the dominant visual metaphors in Moonlight and Precious: Based on the Novel Push By Saphire. Moonlight contains a number of recurring visual metaphors—the image of the door, the shoreline, the sensation of wind—that punctuate the development of the film’s protagonist Chiron. What significance do these metaphors have for conveying a sense of what Paul Gilroy, in The Black Atlantic, calls the “sublime”? Consider identifying the visual metaphors that capture and represent the various forms of violence that Chiron and Precious are forced to endure—metaphors like the recurrent red scarf in Precious, for example. Contrast these with the visual metaphors in each film that best embody a sense of hope, escape or peace.
