8:00 you might be too young to remember when we yelled “The roof. The roof. The roof is on fire. We don’t need no water. Let the muthaphukka burn” at parties. This scene paints EXACTLY what we imagined as we chanted it.
I've watched so many videos describing the meaning of Sinners but no one has yet to mention the symbolism of the Grace Chow character committing self-immolation. It's something in Asian culture when one burns themselves alive in protest. Grace knew her husband was turned, and she knew there's really nothing she could do to save her daughter. Coogler even locked onto her body to let us know...Amazing movie. I've seen it twice and will probably again this weekend.
This scene is exhilarating, soul moving and transcendent in every way from the music to the cinematography to the multiple representations of music from the past and future
I’m happy I went into this movie knowing absolutely nothing. I didn’t see a trailer or anything and I absolutely loved this movie. I’m so looking forward to more of Ryan Coogler’s work.
The DJ shouts out Sammie… “Aww sh*t, it’s Preacher Boy!” The red and blue dynamic carrying over from Smoke (indigo/blue/protection/defense) and Stack (crimson/red/instigation/offense) to the gangster rap era with the Crips(blue) crip walking, and the Bloods being the red rags at the roulette table, was an excellent use of subtle contrast. The scene also introduced the music genres in chronological order. (*Side note: The male Chinese dancer is portraying Son Wukong The Monkey King.)
Me and the wife had to see it again to see what we missed! She wants to go one more time for good measure. I’m down, cause it’s that good!
Not Jimi Hendrix, Bootsie Collins. That was a Parliment-Funkadelic call back/homage.
cornbread is still watching the door when the building burns down.
Seeing Sinners for the second time, I wanted to stop people leaving as the credits rolled. That last line of the movie really got to me. I could understand that it was the best day of Sammie’s life, and the best day of Stack’s life even if it was his last sunrise. They truly experienced freedom, the freedom of self-determination, of self-fulfilment, of sexual fulfilment, of freely connecting with their histories, all empowered by music. Just beautiful.
