r/SinnersbyRyanCoogler

I started reading The Buffalo Hunter Hunter and it feels like this story could share a universe with Sinners. I'm not done yet! But if anyone else has drawn that thread, let me know your thoughts?

Someone already asked if there were mirrors in the Juke Club. But it doesn't seem the "vampire lore" was debated about the mirrors. We have the common tropes of garlic, crosses (I think?), holy water, silver, and rule of invitation (I had never heard of that one before). But what about the mirrors? Would the vampires in this movie have reflection, or they would act regular?

EDIT - Does that mean vampires can't be photographied or filmed by a camera?... I don't know if these devices use small mirrors inside of them...

Interviews With a Vampire Netflix - I’m watching this show of his brother died at sunrise and all I can think is yo did Ryan steal the entire scene/plot idea 😭😭😭😭 that idea is so specific

Hi, just subscribed to the sub so I hope this discussion is welcome, even if only using the film to talk about real life.

In the film, the characters are in a situation where they have to confront being stuck with plantation money when they need ‘real world’ dollars. The plantation money is used to keep them in their system/ class on the bottom of society, they urge for the real money that will ‘free’ them from this.

I’ve just been ruminating on this when it hit me that today- all money is plantation money. I’m a struggling artist, and though in some way I can be perceived as running my own business, it’s really just begging. I don’t keep any money I make, I goes right back to rent and bills. Keeping me in place.

Money is being used to keep me in a poor class. I can dream of making more, but that won’t make me free. I’ll always have to work, not in a way that even benefits society or any human being necessarily. 99% of us are wage slaves.

I’m glad the film is getting the recognition it deserved. I hope an after effect is people being willing to have these uncomfortable discussions and look at this ugly history because so much of it is alive and has effects today.

I get the time jumping to a degree portraying a message and so on, but can anyone throw any context onto the scene when >!when grace throws out the invitation out to the crew of vamps outside it showed what looked like her in a modern Cafe although it may not have been I'm not sure maybe just a memory of hers!< just curious if anyone knew what it was. Awesome movie btw just finished it. Love the music and the subtle messages through out the different scenes at the juke

When Annie said "Put the cigarette down and you can hold her...I don't want any of that smoke on her" it was a double entendre. That signified that she wanted Elijah, the husband and father, not Smoke the gangster.

There were several anachronisms in the movie. The first is when Stack says "For us, by us." (Reference to the FUBU clothing line.) The other is by Smoke..."We gave your mama plenty of flowers while she was still alive to smell'em." Smoke also uses another one when he says "This ain't no house party" while mentioning the financial woes of Club Juke. The final one is a newly turned Cornbread talking about "It be your own people."

It was crazy work how Slim was telling the story in the car and they were doing the sound effects in the background. His man got merked over some money for a $2 train ticket. And they did him EXTRA filthy.
