Just saw the movie #Sinners at my local #AMC.

It is a very peculiar movie with some very entertaining music & dancing scenes, which were the best part of the movie for me.

The #Chinese husband & wife grocery store owners also were of particular interest to me because it was a nod to a rare bit of #ChineseAmerican history.

The Chinese began immigrating to #Mississippi during reconstruction following the #CivilWar in the1860-70's. They bridged the gap between the #Black & #White communities by being grocery store owners who served both. I have book on the topic entitled #TheMississippiChinese (1971) & there is an end credit to a Mississippi Chinese cultural organization.

Speaking of which, if you leave or stop watching the movie before the credits completely end you will miss 2 special scenes.

I'd give it a 7 out of 10 for entertainment value & I'll probably buy a copy of the #DVD if/when it's released.
