honestly maybe im just in it bc im thinking about a variety of things but the "im a proud hater" bit was funny for a good month but if you post like that or have that in your bio or whatever the fuck i dont think i trust you. you are telling me you prefer to have a negative outlook for the stupid dopamine it produces whether or not it's warranted. there's so much shit to hate in this world why do you choose to go outside and hate the dandelions girl bp is dumping oil into the lake behind you turn around
there's something to be said about movies like kpop demon hunters, turning red, encanto, over the moon, and sinners, which combine music and cultural specificity into engaging storytelling. you don't need to just take "inspiration" from a culture. you can tell a specific story about it that everyone will be able to relate to even if they are unfamiliar with the specifics, because there are human elements we can all relate to in well-told stories.
I love how "Sinners" didn't villify the sinners in the movie. Sammie's father told him that playing music for "drunkards and philanderers who abandon their family responbilities to sweat all over each other" was a sin. And he was right about the kind of people going to the juke joint: Delta Slim is an alcoholic, and Pearline a cheater. It would have been easy to villify them, but the movie tells us that despite their flaws, they are humans worthy of love, respect and freedom.
Delta Slim drinks because he's traumatized by the horrors Black people of his time face. And he's kind and compassionate, encouraging and reassuring Sammie, and sacrificing himself to save everyone else.
Pearline literally saved Sammie's life and sacrificed herself to protect him, a boy she had only known for a day. It shows her kindness because she could have easily stayed back when Remmick tried to bite Sammy and not endangered her life more than necessary.
The movie shows us that preachers blindly condemning those sinners are wrong: Sammie is only alive because drunkards, philanderers and gangsters (Smoke) gave their lives to protect him. They are people, with flaws and qualities.
I love how nuanced the movie is: Sammie's father is not wrong about the kind of people Sammie wants to associate with and their potential bad influence, but he's wrong about them being evil and not deserving of respect.
fascinating thing about sinners is how absolutely doomed the narrative is.
like okay if sammie hadn't gone to the juke joint, remmick probably wouldn't have shown up. but then the klan would have. okay smoke took those assholes out solo, if it was him and stack maybe they could have handled it. well the juke joint would have shut down in a month because no one had any real fucking money because of the sharecropping scrip. not to mention two seperate mobs are on their way to fuck the twins up (what do you MEAN you robbed al capone??). okay maybe they covered their tracks, well they're still in the fucking jim crow south and stack and mary have a cool 35 years until loving v virginia so best case scenario is he's broke and watching the love of his life from afar until he's 70. plus annie implied the twins were on borrowed time anyway since she'd been quietly protecting them the whole time they were gone.
idk it both adds to the horror that there was no way out and just solidifies sammie saying it was the best day of his life, like that one little perfect moment was all they were going to get anyway
Something I love about the Sinners movie is it reminded me that some of the best stories are "one night" stories. There have been so many long con world ending save the universe humanity at stake the villain is the government stories for a while that I lost sight of one of my favorite stories- where some fuck shit goes down for One Day maybe One Week with a small crew of people Inextricably Familiar with each other and the end is like "ay that shit was crazy"
In case it isn't obvious, I found a new horror movie to watch last night lol
Sorry for the feed spam, not sorry that it's "Sinners" <3 it's going on the shelf right next to "As Above So Below" and a few of my other favorites
It's rare that I actually find a horror film I actually like bc I'm in it to be scared straight, and most of the time I only get the sweet kick of adrenaline via found footage tropes and Unfiction. Most movies or shows are too predictable using the rule of the 3, and it completely kills my mood. Even worse when it typically christ vs satan BS that's oversaturated everything (all these religions and cultures, and still my nerd ass is forced to shit threw the same theology shit over and over again smfh)
But for once, Sinners actually broke through it, and we get such a delightful change in thematics and story telling. A true breath of fresh air that so wonderful pays accurate homage to both the time period, the people in it, and the culture clashing that creates and demonstrates the oppressive political atmosphere in that history. History that POC are still suffering from to this day, and the movie demonstrates well enough to even call it forward, how much of an impact it has on the modern times, and the echos of it we still hear in 2026 (if ur not plugging in ur ears like most ppl are it feels like).

And then even on a horror level I feel like it delivered. They didn't rely on cheap jumpscares (Thank God) but instead focus more on atmosphere and psychological horror. Granted it has it's moments of 'WhattehFUCKWasTHAT' bc y'know, monsters.
But it dug a bit deeper in a way that was creepy and unsettling. The good ol' "you're loved ones are dead and brought back. but you know deep down not only are they not the same" but in the sense that the soul of the person was being puppeted by the supernatural essence that possessed their bodies. Their minds are there. The memories are there. But they aren't them anymore, and all the soul can do is watch as they're trapped in a body that can't die. A body that is immortal. Truly sinking in the atrocities of what it means in folklore to be a vampire, tearing away the glit and glamour. That they're never be able to join their loved ones and ancestors in the afterlife so long as they aren't properly killed.
It even gets to the point, imo, that you almost can't tell if it's true or not. The show makes you doubt if they are any less human than you or I. That maybe the folklore was wrong about them, that even though they are monsters they're still people. Until, there's just a tiny way they are a bit off, and you can see underneath they're being controlled by someone else. And you come to this realization at the same time the rest of the case of characters do. And my God is it so wonderful how well they do the back and forth, with the way the fight of truth and doubt is alive and I cannot get enough of it. Not even getting into the part where the main villain becomes what they so despised; the very thing they wanted to fight against. What was once the oppressed became the oppressor in vain of their efforts. He claimed to want to help, but in the end all he did was try to put them in a different set of chains and exploitation.
Like the whole narrative for each character is so beautiful tragic and doomed, and I just get so giddy seeing other ppl in the tags having wrote their own little analysis too <3
Another reason I respect Sinners is how Pearline is treated.
She is a married woman that sleeps with Sammy, when she dances and sings she does it in a seductive/sexy way but she is never treated or viewed as a negative figure. She isn’t a whore, or a slut, and she isn’t viewed as a temptation to Sammy.
In fact, the only part of the movie where you are supposed to disagree or (maybe) dislike Pearline is when she doesn’t want to eat the garlic. The movie makes us grieve her when she is killed.
Any other horror movie would have given her a brutal death, it would have been “deserved”.
Instead, Sinners goes out of its way to show that she is a human being, and despite her sins we love her. Decades after she is killed, Sammy names his bar after her despite knowing her for one day. The movie honors her.
