Under the Cherry Moon is a brotherly love story between Christopher Tracy and Tricky that gets interrupted by Christopher’s pursuit of Mary Sharon. This makes Christopher and Tricky Under the Cherry Moon’s most endearing and enduring storyline. One so dynamic, it’s replicated multiple times in Eddie Murphy’s films. Christopher and Tricky make “brighter the colors black and white” by reappropriating an old Hollywood buddy trope and creating a new cinematic paradigm in the process.
