Sinners
wow, this really was as good as everyone says it was. i mean first of all that ending scene has genuinely had a grip on me for like the last couple days. despite the fact that the people they know and loved died on that day and it was for all intents and purposes supposed to be the worst day ever they still find it to be the best ever. sammy found his passion and along with everyone else they were truely free.
the vampires in this are really cool as well like yes on the surface they are just killing everyone and it gives us the sick fight sequences. but they also highlight the way that whit people gentrified black culture going to these jukes and trying to get in and constantly trying to get someone on their side so they can get in and eventually take over.
the performances in this great as well especially from michael b jordan like even without the colours you could tell smoke and stack a part and then all the supporting cast are fantastic and each bring something unique to the scenes they’re in.
the film is immaculately shot too with such vibrant shots from inside the barn compared to the eerie ones outside. as well as the way that the cars are scene as almost their safe spaces where no one can stop them or doing anything whilst they’re cruising.
coogler gives us the best movie of the year for sure and provides great social commentary with the klan as well as a sort of coming of age for sammy and an escape from reality for the rest.
