Sinners
“Son. You keep dancing with the devil, one day he gon’ follow you home.”
“So thats why we came back home. Figured we might as well deal with the devil we know.”
“You know something? Maybe once a week, I wake up paralyzed reliving that night. But before the sun went down, I think that was the best day of my life.”
“There are legends of people... born with the gift of making music so true, it can pierce the veil between life and death. Conjuring spirits from the past... and the future. In Ancient Ireland, they were called Fili. In Choctaw land, they call them Firekeepers. And in West Africa, they're called griots. This gift can bring healing to their communities but it also attracts evil.”
“Last time I seen my brother, last time I seen the sun.”
Sometimes I sit and think about how nothing will compare watching this movie for the first time on some hot summer night, starting at around 3:30 and the sun rising towards the same time it did in the movie. One of the most surreal experiences you can have, sitting silently at 7 am in your balcony questioning what the hell you just watched, the crisp air flowing around you with only birds to hear. All in a day, too. Took one entire span of a day only to get you all sentimental. The kind of cautious tale you’ll be told once in your life by someone and never hear it again. Oscars cant describe what this movie is or what it’s done. One of the few out there that can transform a person the exact same way a bite can. I’m glad it got all them though. Because boy, does it deserve them.
Best soundtrack, best set of actors I’ve seen in fact probably my favorite cast of all time. If letterboxd had top five this would be my fifth. Proud to have finally shown this to my parents. Ryan Coogler, you deserve the world and more and you deserved those two Oscar’s robbed from you with all honesty but we have to respect the academy’s wishes. Cheers to the incredible team you put together and creates this absolute masterpiece.
And once again thanks a whole lot for Michael B. Jordan x2. Blessed be the fact that I get to live in the same generation as him. Also-congrats to Josh Allen & Hailee Steinfeld!!🍼
