- Unfortunately couldn't see it in IMAX, but this is probably the best camera work on black skin/people I've seen since Moonlight. And besides the camera work, just the general depiction of the south was fire. Didn't realize it was something that I was even missing until it was shown to me.
- Delroy Lindo's scene in the car recounting how some yts committed a lynching felt like the most powerful scene, the way he delivered the end of that with the initials hums felt familiar and resonating. Conveyed all that anger/frustration in a single hum.....elite acting & writing.
- definitely got from dusk til dawn vibes from this, loved that as a kid. And I went into this blind, so that was a pleasant surprise.
- was the town split down the middle? Whites on one side, blacks on another? Felt like when that Asian cat sent his daughter across the street it conveyed that in a subtle way
- my initial takeaway was your people assimilating into c00nery / yt culture tears up / divides your community. Evil and denigrating as it may be, it's "easier" and luring for some. All Lives Matter vibes. But the ending part when the head vampire talks about the KKK and what not kinda threw that off
- Coogler hasn't missed yet. A1 work. Off of one fresh watch, probably got it right below Fruitvale Station. Before the KKK act, felt like Micahel B Jordan stepped up his acting way up.
