Sinners

i can’t lie, i haven’t felt this spiritually connected to a film for a long time. upon rewatch, it’s still phenomenal. the aspect ratio changes, the story/folklore, the score, the soundtrack, the performances; everything is top notch. the intricacies woven into the story, it’s just so historically accurate without being in your face. it’s not [just] a dark Black struggle story..  it’s the truth, and still so liberating. it’s beautiful. it’s raw. it’s honest. it felt necessarily heavy. ryan coogler.. i’ve been familiar with your game, but not like this. you fucking genius. i was telling someone i wanted to stay away from recency bias, but nah. this deserves all the hype and more. i beg everyone to watch this. not only is it a sick ass story but it’s a great history lesson without being ‘12 years a slave’ traumatic. anyway, it has everything i like: vampires, black history, spirituality/religion (and how hoodoo is seen as demonic, (only bc it’s tied to Blackness btw)), discussions and accurate depictions surrounding colonization, music, community, culture, and yeah, horny shit. yes, sammie, youre a real eater and i like you a lot. yes, i like to spit in mouths too. yes, being a vampire is hot.. as much as it is evil.  i’m mixed with irish and chinese too.. isn’t that ironic..  all in all, long live catfish and the Blues.
