i know i shouldnt be suprised but sinners being out for less than a week and already tumblr is fandomifying and 'poor wet pathetic cat'-ifying the main white man villain of the movie is so... disapointing??? like did the fucking point of the movie really go over your heads that badly or are you just willingly ignorant and stupid?

AND BEFORE ANYONE STARTS; im not saying you cant like remmick, he's a very interesting character, a great villain, and jack o'connell gave a great performance playing him, nor do i care if you think hes sexy, I think hes sexy

but i think to come out of a movie where vampires serve as a metaphor for how black american communities have the life sucked out of them by white people via cultural appropriation (remmick wanting to use sammie's gift to summon his own ancestors) and forced assimilation (all the turned vampires singing and dancing along with remmick's irish folk song and dance juxtaposed with the blend of cultures during sammie's song in the juke joint) and for your main take away to be 'aww the main villain is just a misunderstood sadboy' or 'idc abt the atrocities he looked sexy doing them (when the atrocities in question were racism)' then youre just being so disengenuous and antithetical to the whole point of the film?

and dont come at me with the 'let people enjoy things' bullshit, sinners is a movie FUNDAMENTALLY about racism and racial dynamics in the united states, and i do think focusing on your little y/n x [whiteboy of the month] fics and 'hes so babygirl' posts do actually stunt your own critical engagement with the message this movie was trying to convey to its audience

i think its also a disservice to remmick's character; the moral nuance that comes to light when you consider his position as an irish immigrant to the US, a victim of the colonialist british empire just like the black main cast (although in a very different way) and how, whilst his desire to reclaim his ancestry and heritage is understandable and even relatable, his pursuit of sammie and willingness to kill literally everyone else at the juke joint is allegorical for how, regardless of their own marginalisation, white people will prey upon and steal from black culture(s) and destroy/disenfranchise black communities to serve their own interests, and the movie is NOT subtle about this either, delta slim literally lays it out for us "white folks like the blues just fine, they just don't like the people who make them"

idk im yelling into the void here, the ppl im complaining about are never going to give a shit about racism or even just critically engaging with art when theres a new cute whiteboy to write fluff and angst about, but its just soooo annoying to see, yet again, how fandom spaces, which SHOULD be about uplifing and celebrating art in all its diversity and complexity, once again is nothing more than people ignoring anything that actually makes them have to confront reality and filing off the serial numbers to slot characters into pre-determined fanon molds so they can pump out incorrect quotes and coffee shop AUs en masse until the media iliterate heat death of the universe

Yes, the fics where Ilya goes to Shane's game in his jersey are cute and romantic. But why has no one even considered:

I really love that 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple went: Hey, so what about untreated mental illness during the apocalypse? BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, what about getting high on your own supply with your home boy and frolicking through the fields??

Go see 28 Years Later if you have a good relationship with your mom, a bad relationship with your dad, think zombies are cool, or want to see a lot of dirty penis in 1s intervals (including a 10" beast on Samson)

just-bad-taste

Go see 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple if you enjoy ruminations of dread and guilt, if you enjoy torture horror, if you like surprisingly well integrated popular music into plot elements, if you believe in the inherent goodness of people and the desire for a better world, or want to see a lot of dirty penis in decent intervals (including a 10" beast on Samson)

Spike goes to the mainland twice, but he only “becomes a man” once. With his father he sees killing and death as heavily bravado based, the enemy so dehumanized it’s an adrenaline inducing boy’s day. He misses most of his arrow shots and hides in an attic.

With his mother he learns there is love and memory in death, accepts that they all must die, and sees that sometimes you must kill to survive. They sleep in an open air church and his arrows strike hard and true.

With his father he leaves and returns as the child in need of protection and with his mother he returns protecting a baby and taking on the role of adult.

All of this to say is the movie shows us the stark difference between the toxic masculinity of his culture telling him that manhood is killing for fun, and the masculinity he learns from the doctor about honoring death and accepting that the only thing we have power over is love and memory.
