This sounds amazing. No, I'm not going.

Finally got to watch Sinners this evening.

Wanted to watch it last year in the cinema but missed my chance due to various reasons.

But, I treated myself to it on Blu-ray recently.

I hope it actually wins a bunch of its Academy Award nominations. I hope the predominantly white old men who vote on that stuff, actually realise it is gooooooood cinema and vote accordingly.

I watched "Sinners" over the weekend on my laptop with headphones and damn the pandemic that kept me from hearing it in IMAX. The music, y'all. The music.

The whole movie is The Blues.

If you know that feeling, that resonance in the gut and soul, from the blues, from feeling it, from knowing it. From living it 'cause you lived through it. From that connection to everybody who ever did and didn't. To those who came before and after.

If the blues reaches you, teaches you, brings you home and finds you there.

It touched me and reminded me and showed me.

It's not the best movie I've ever seen but the sound, the rhythm, the truth of it moved me deeply.

No heaven or hell; no god to judge us or commandments to hang over us. Just the legacies we are given without even knowing what they are, how we choose to live every day, and what we leave behind.

What's waiting for us is what we earn, not when living was easy, but when it was rough. These choices define us.

No good or evil.

But selfish vs. selfless? Oh, yes.

What would you give?

What would you steal?

Who matters the most and what would you do for them? Would you die? Would you kill?

What if you had no choice because it was taken from you?

Where is your humanity when you are treated like an animal? Would you still find it?

This movie asks and gives you a dozen answers, a thousand.
