Folks in the twitter comments talking about "This dude not wrong"

He missed the entire point of the movie, and the theme or the story.

That's exactly why I'll always argue down anyone who claims America belongs to Mexicans.

See how there were Native American vampire hunters in the film yet, the Mexican guy didn't see "representation" there.

They're not the same and deep down Mexicans know that. It's like comparing Swedish people to Greek people.

By the way this is the most alluring I've seen vampires.

Dude said join us and we'll be a family with zero racism and go hunt us some KKK. I woulda hit the

summer-nature-side-view-of-children-in-mid-air-jumping-off-a-porch-landing-on-grass-hill.jpg

In the 1930s, amid extreme racial oppression, that would have been a very hard thing to say no to :patrice:

This is why we need more Black film directors.

Who else would think to set a vampire movie in the Deep South during Jim Crow and Sharecropping? I love it :ahh:

I saw this dumb shyt and had to block them fast

What needs to be talked about is the dumbass Asian discourse going on and this entire “nod” to them.

I’m from the delta. They owned the liquor store and grocery stores but their kids never went to our schools, the only reason we knew they had children was because they worked there. They were never outside and mingled with us at public events especially the blues festivals.

They didn’t fukk with us.
I’m not from the delta, but northeast MS and this was true there too. We had one Indian and like 2 chinese out of all of the schools I remember. One was disowned by her family for getting pregnant by a breh

Literally never knew where they lived or congregated outside of their stores

I love the conversation around this film, but I think some peoples ideas about this film are based on their perception of Ryan Coogler and not his reality. Ryan has always been an extremely inclusive writer. If you ask Ryan, he wrote the Asian characters yelling to come in because her husband was gone, not because she was :mjpls:


. We know this isn’t the case. Asians were and still are extremely:mjpls:


. He included the natives , made them wise and privy to the existence of the vampires. Most of the black characters were none the wiser to any overt supernatural presence for the most part . Ryan isn’t doing this nefariously on some Tyler Perry time , he genuinely respects other people’s cultures. That translation in his writing needs to get a little better for his next outing because I believe he elevates others a little too much without having those discussions about their relationships with our people. I remember for Black Panther 2 he said in an interview something along the lines that it was imperative that the Talokan were as strong , if not stronger than the Wakandas because it was important for Latinos to see strong characters and something about how they have shared oppression with us . Most non-black directors aren’t doing that . Looking for that extra deep social commentary I think just isn’t his style generally though. He’s not the kind of writer, and this burden is put on too many black filmmakers for the most part. We have to take his work for what it is at face value, which is a good film.


This.

Two criminal brothers on the run and a Preacher's son travel to a bar. Once there they are attacked by vampires and one of the brothers gets turned into a vampire.

Is that the plot for FDTD or Sinners? :childplease:If you can't see how he stole the plot then agree to disagree. Even Double Toasted called it.
Bro you doin too much. Even Coogler acknowledged FDTD as an inspiration. But that’s where it stops. FDTD doesn’t have a 1/10 of the nuance or storytelling as Sinners. I watched FDTD last night for the first time. Movie is basic as fukk and don’t even make sense.

I almost want to call it ass but i respect the cult classic status it has and how ppl who grew up on it might feel differently than me watching it in 2025

One thing I didn't get was, initially Stack made it seem like he couldn't get thru the door of the room he was killed in.

I don't recall anyone ever inviting him to the main room.....so how was he able to break thru the door and enter?

Wow

You negroes gonna sit and try and make Coogler seem like a cinematic genius now???.

And fukk Taratino but no one writes better stories than him and with dialogue. But fukk the racist piece of shyt.

Sinners had the worst story telling and pacing I ever have seen in a film by a director who is supposed to be the best in the industry currently

That's not how Vampire lore works and Coogler dumbass was too stupid and lazy to flush out rules of Vampire so you (audience/viewer) won't get confused. But he sucks, so he didn't.

Vampires can't geaux into a building from outside with our permission. If he was made a Vampire in a building, then he has domain over every sq inch as his own.

Bro go watch FDTD with fresh eyes and report back. It’s a nikka named Sex Machine with a gun crotch. These two movies aren’t even in the same stratosphere of seriousness.

:mjlol:

Clooney’s character was written one note af. I wouldn’t even know he’s a decent actor if this was the only film I saw of him.
