Ryan Coogler & Michael B. Jordan vampire film "Sinners"

[WIA20XX]

9/10.

Whole cast was stellar, even Lady Hawkeye.
Good pacing, good world building.
Lots of "in the cut" references.

Some of the sound was a bit muffled in my theater ( also two queens next to me - one was on the phone, and the other was getting her needlepoint on.. ).

I ain't heard that level of Southern outside of Marlin Texas and State highway 61 in Louisiana.

In terms of messaging - I don't think any of the subtext was subtle, even the vampires being Irish... but I have no idea who's watching this and what they know.

I don't have a problem with this take and agree with it being largely allegorical but part of an allegory is the visual representation which is largely going to be fantastical in nature. I would also say theres WAY more to the allegory than the subtext around music. Let me ask, what are good vampire movies? If you don't like the genre in general then you can just say that.

Not a movie but I thought midnight mass on HBO Max was a dope take on the vampire genre. I've seen so many Dracula movies and shows I couldn't tell you off the top but there are plenty that I enjoyed.

People think that picking cotton was only a slavery thing. This is the problem with our school systems today. People were still picking cotton in the 60s here in my area. It was a source of income.

5:30


People forget how hard living people still had to work



That said, I have no interest in this movie. MBJ isnt a leading man to me

And that's another hidden message. Black folks have no friends. At the beginning of the movie, we saw the white folks owning everything and the Asians had 2 stores. This dumb bytch sacrificed everyone in that building just to save her own instead of waiting until the sunrise.

Cacs mad that Coogler got a deal that only the likes of Tarantino gets for movies

https://www.vulture.com/article/to-hollywood-the-scariest-part-of-sinners-is-ryan-coogler.html

Why Ryan Coogler’s Sinners Is Scaring Hollywood Execs​

Coogler would retain final cut (a creative dispensation reserved for the industry's crème de la crème), command first-dollar gross (that is, a percentage of box-office revenue beginning from the movie's theatrical opening rather than waiting for the studio to turn a profit), and, most contentiously, 25 years after its release, ownership of Sinners would revert to the director.

That last part was a dealbreaker for most studios — Quentin Tarantino is the most recent on a very short list of auteurs to demand such an exceedingly rare rights-reversion agreement. In 2017, the multiple-Oscar winner negotiated a complex pact with Sony under which copyright-control rights to his Once Upon a Time in Hollywood would revert from the studio to Tarantino 30 years after its theatrical release. And while Sony and Universal had been in hot pursuit of Sinners, Warner Bros. co-chairmen/CEOs Pam Abdy and Michael DeLuca were the only back-lot chieftains willing to acquiesce to Coogler's unusual terms.
