r/SinnersFilm

Was offensive and historically inaccurate. I was surprised to find out the movie wasn’t written and produced by a Jew. Although the black guy that wrote it probably doesn’t know much about history to be fair.

I know it’s been a while since the movie released. I’ve heard all of the discussions some who love it and some who don’t love it. But this film is something different for me entirely to the point where I feel like it was made for me. I am a young black musician, my passions in life are music and film and they blend so beautifully together in this movie. I am a pan Africanist I love learning and celebrating my Afro Caribbean culture as well as the culture of the diaspora as a whole. So this movie blew me away. I also am an atheist that deconstructed from my Christian upbringing. So those themes of religion and forced conversion hit deeply with me. This film speaks to me in so many ways and I wonder if it’s the same for anyone else.

for those who weren't aware Hailee Steinfeld is a musician alongside being an actress and when i first saw the movie when it got to the scene when Mary starts literally eating out Stack a lyric from one of her songs popped in my head which fits the scene

"i didnt know that i was starving til i tasted you"

I assumed Remmick was born a Celtic Pagan because A) he didn’t seem very childhood nostalgic of Christianity be it English, Latin or Gaelic; B) Those Huge Gold Coins felt very Antique, not something you get while on the gold standard; C) The Older the Vampire is the Cooler he is, that is just fact.
