I find it comedically caricatural and forced.

I'm sure you do 💜

Good for them and for a genre film being recognized by the Academy. But I have to admit... I don't understand the hype around the film. It's literally From Dusk Til Dawn, without the fun. I was much more impressed with Weapons.

[Galagala 4,619]

Extremely overrated.

And I'm sure that's all you could manage to gather from that scene. It's making sense

The movie is overrated. More than half of it takes place at the same setting and same night. I don't know. I felt like it's boring after a while. Random Asian couple was funny too.

"Random Asian couple" wouldn't actually be random if you understand the historical/ethnic context of the Mississippi Delta in the 30s

And I'm sure there was a life changing hidden meaning in that lame scene where only selected few can understand the meaning

I genuinely don't care about that race-obsessed country's so called history. Their inclusion in the movie was random.

the dance scene was way more than that, at least be correct if you're going to critique

Yes it was the best thing ever done in the history of cinema. Every one leaving the theatre had their life changed.

I mean, the scene can be understood if one listened to the prologue narration at the beginning of the movie that was then repeated as the scene was happening.

The film deftly shows why they were included as the only "acceptable" minorities to cross over different spheres in the Jim Crow south and is a parallel to what the villain quite literally cannot do as both a vampire and Irish immigrant. You don't have to care about America or its race politics to acknowledge that there is a narrative and thematic relevance to their inclusion.

It all falls flat when the whole the message, story and character selection boils down to 

But I'm sure Oscar committee found it so fascinating

You're doing the lord's work, but you're simply not gonna get through to certain people. Some of these h*es act like the subject matter is just an aesthetic that indicts them. They'll willfully ignore anything that shows them something that doesn't allow them to trivialize the matter.

I think this is an intentionally disingenuous and simplistic take, but we'll have to agree to disagree here.

OT: while I love all the love for Sinners (and LOVE that horror finally gets its due), I'm personally rooting for One Battle After Another. I predict it will come to define this decade, for better or worse. I need my girls Teyana, Regina, and JP to be in an Oscar Best Picture winning film (and for them to get their dues, of course!)
