This was f***ing fantastic. Wish I knew there was a post credit scene. Had to watch it on tik tok

Yup definitely can relate. Grew up baptist, my aunts and uncles and grandma / grandpa were all pastors in my family so Christianity was intregal in my life but as an adult, like you I always have this thought in the back of my head of practicing a religion that forced on us.

Had no clue Wunmi was from the UK. Them people can act

Main vampire dude is Cook from Skins?? This cast goated

This is sending me

wow haven’t seen him in anything in a long ass time. Didn’t recognize him at all

Insane film, that one scene showing our people's music history

My Twitter timeline seems to purposely or just completely missed this lil message in the movie and are just focusing on the racial aspect. Kinda disappointing although I suspect a month from now we’ll get the typical “It’s been a month… can we have a honest conversation about Sinners?” Type tweets.

Idk I feel like there should be a larger discussion on it, but it’s opening weekend so maybe it’s still to come. Mostly everybody is in a pure celebratory phase which is well deserved for this movie. Ryan knows what he was doing releasing this on Good Friday, and Easter Sunday weekend.

I said a tik-tok, the tikkie, the tikkie
To the tik, tik-tok and you don't stop the tokin'

great film, felt original and unique. third act felt a lil rushed but I loved it

themes of music and what not reminds me a lot about how kendrick talk about music and how him rapping his is dead homies telling stories

It really felt more like a book brought to a visual medium rather than just a straight up movie. So much detail in the character work.

I would love to know Ryan’s writing process. Some of these niggas be sketching out they ideas in prose first so maybe that happened?

What character details did you pick up on ?

It’s cus it rains so much out there so they have no choice but to stay in the house and play pretend

Just the way characters reacted and interacted with things/each other. An example is when delta slim is talking about how his friend got lynched and then started humming, both him and stack transition easily to turning that tragedy and trauma into music for the soul, because they’ve both known hardship and trauma. Sammy is a bit more green, and his love for the blues must have been more inherent and pure, not deriving from anything too dark. So he’s legit disturbed by the story and how quickly slim moved into song. Stack is like don’t just sit there you got a guitar let’s go, and he’s super reluctant to do so.

Movies, I feel like, don’t typically juggle as many characters as this film did while still being able to flesh them out. That’s more like something a book can do because it has more time. The backstories introduced, what was said and left unsaid, how everyone interacted with each other, etc all felt very fleshed out like coogler was pulling from a book that was never written.

yeah my issues were with the third act too...

some real, real brilliance in this movie. looked GORGEOUS on 70mm.

but it felt a little clunky at some points to me. still liked it, though.

Come on In

Facts bro! I think that level of nuance and detail is key, where each character has their own personal reaction to something that stems from their backstory.

I’m wondering how long Ryan had the idea for this story and how long he took just fleshing out the characters.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he started doing character work during his time at Marvel. You know like on the side just plotting out his Opus ahead of time until he was finally able to fully make the film.

Black film

Original film

Huge f***ing win

So Majors definitely would've been Stack, right?

you love to see it

So huge
