I am going to cry thank you for the shoutout I have been a fan for years
Its SOOOOO SAAADDDD to me that in all the amazing breakdowns of this movie NOOO OONNEEE highlights that the pastor is played by Saul Williams - one of the most famous ans influential poets in the last half century AND a griot in his own right.
I appreciate your cultural sensitivity and understanding of the deeper themes of this movie that a lot of ignorant people missed and refuse to see.
32:35 That’s actually not the full reason Stack didn’t stay with Mary: it was because Mary, who was passing as white, would be ridiculed or worse by society for associating with a black man, which is why Stack recognizes he can’t keep her safe…. Even more so, Stack knowing that his association to her would guarantee getting him lynched (think Emmet Till). He loved her enough to let her go.
The making of this movie was a work of art in and of itself.
Probably one of the best breakdowns this channel has ever put out
I LOVE this movie sm… I’m Native Indigenous from Canada and my people are decolonizing as we speak with language classes and song and dance practices. Whenever my people are gathered and doing our song and dance, I feel it, it’s real. I feel our ancestors there with us. This movie captures how music keeps us together so well
Crazy how 100 years later, these same circumstances exist. Real Life Horror Story. Art Imitates Life.
The music scene moved me in a way I didn't think was possible. Music is our spiritual link to each other, no matter the genre.
I've seen about 12 breakdowns of this movie and I'll keep watching them. I love a movie with layers, and this movie definitely has em.
I’ve followed this channel for YEARS. THIS IS THE BEST BREAKDOWN I HAVE SEEN. Kudos to the writers and the ENTIRE ScreenCrush Team!
I firstly want to say thank you for not skirting the racial issue (in their proper context) like the destruction of Black Wall Street, and the "octeroon"/one drop of blood policies. A lot of other content creators have really glossed over this to avoid making curtain viewers uncomfortable. Secondly, you did a great job, I've watched a lot of Sinners videos but you brought up so many points other creators & I totally missed. Amazing video, great movie
Another thing that wasnt covered: In Chinese culture red ink is solely used to write dead people's names. The Jukes Name is written in red, Foreshadowing even further.
I'll never get over this movie. Every moment was perfect. That scene where that song comes together with all of the different black influences on music was one of the greatest scenes ever made, every performance was amazing, and Michael B. Jordan gave one of the best multi-character performances. I cannot glaze this movie enough.
What details did we miss?
I swear if Ryan Coogler doesn’t win Best Director and Original Screenplay at the Oscars then I’m burning Hollywood down.
Miles Canton was a true blessing for Ryan Coogler, i dont think no one else couldve brought that soul power in there voice the way Miles did 🙌🙌
Those women aren't just doing a hip-hop dance from the 90s, they're twerking. And they're joined by tribal dancers to show how old and ancestral those movements are. And "THIS woman in red" is THE Misty Copeland, ballerina and FIRST Black female principal dancer in the American Ballet Theater.
maybe the best screencrush video ever???
As a student a history, and as a black man... I commend the work you did with this video. Well done, sir... Well done, brother....
