Kenyan musician and others say Black Americans are gassing the movie Sinners

[The BasedFather]

Most people on this planet don’t know what Kenya is, that it’s a country, a single fact or that it’s even in Africa

Kenya is irrelevant. Meanwhile they have a bug in their asses about us and constantly talk about us all day long. Meanwhile we set all the trends and everyone copies us.

It’s like Timmy’s dad from Fairly Odd Parents hating on Dinkleberg and he doesn’t even acknowledge him like that

 

[Sinnerman]

Sinners is one my favorite movies ever!

Seen it five times now

Triggered off one persons opinion. This is all it takes. Do you think that person was a spokesperson for all of Kenya?

Fools can't stay away from a good c00n Royal rumble on here. The bait is too juicy.

Now you trying to shyt on Kenya by calling it irrelevant as you bytch and moan about one person from there having an opinion you don't like. If it was irrelevant you would have paid it no mind. But then you say that we are constantly going at "y'all" this suggests that you have taken notice of Kenya. That's 2 things disproving the idea that we are "irrelevant". For a small country on the Horn of Africa we are quite relevant. If Most people on this planet never thought to open a map then do you want to be most people? Fools congregate together. Bragging about being ignorant is not the flex you think it is.

Film was different
Multi layered and done very well

Covered politics history religion and entertainment industry and was spot on with it. Symbolic story telling is how you make great film

I'm very impressed with Coogler.

Blah Blah Blah. Tell your people stop hating on us and we wouldn't have this thread. But you won't because you hate us too.

Popular things will always have people that don’t like them. Especially so on Twitter where people make “not liking the popular thing” their personality trait

Y'all love bringing shyt like that here. Just looking for shyt to be mad about.

Shut the fukk up.

 

[tuckgod]

I would love to see the latest and greatest representation of Kenyan cinema for comparison.

Media outside of America is generally very cheesy and low brow (Nollywood, Bollywood, Telenoveles) . They don't really process "art" that they aren't familiar with very well. They like Avengers, Bad Boys, Harry Potter and other well marketed shyt but that's it. Same people will tell you that Power is better than The Wire. They've been Drakes biggest supporters during this beef with Kendrick

 

[Luke Cage]

black movies are the only ones were people start to hate on them being too successful.

I remember there was a contigent of people doing this with the first black panther. Saying it was overhyped.

Meanwhile Top Gun was within expectations apparently

 

[RamsayBolton]

Hollywood acted like top gun maverick was the best movie since the invention of film

get on code

Sinners was 11/10

 

[Luke Cage]

and keep in mind, there were premature articles trying to say this movie flopped.

So no matter what numbers they did some people would have hated

I'm FBA and I was disappointed by Sinners. I know it's streaming so I will watch it again and give it another chance. But once someone mentioned before it came out that it was supposed to be like Dusk Till Dawn. I watched it with a similar expectation.

Great premise but it was very slow moving, I feel like it could've been chopped down by 20-30 minutes in the beginning and get to the action/horror quicker. Two it felt like Dusk Till Dawn but everytime I felt like it was going to go there it held back especially on the action and the horror.

And I personally I'm tired of symbolism being shoved in every black movie. I would like to watch the movie without having to overanalyzing everything in the background for clues cuz I'm not a fukking detective.

Plus I think the reason they do this is cuz it's passive way to sneak in black ideology cuz you scared of the major movie execs forcing you to change shyt if it was blantantly there in there script. I don't hate the movie but think it was underwhelming

Tyler Perry doesn't do symbolism in his movies for the exact opposite reason. And NO I have no issue with Ryan Coogler, Michael B Jordan etc and loved all their previous films. I just feel like, especially as a fan of horror movies, if you gonna go there then really go there. It was like diet Jordan Peele in terms of the horror.

And that’s fine, this is your culture, but who the fukk are they to criticize our shyt?

Especially when they’re putting out quality like this.

The switch up on black panther was so crazy. once it became a blockbuster hit I remember vividly seeing people criticizing it for the most minuscule things just to hate on it.

Once something becomes too cool, the next cool thing to do is to hate on it. Motherfukkers don’t have a personality and have to rely on this gimmick
