finished watching Sinners 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

So I finally got round to watching the most hyped movie of the year (so far). Unsurprisingly, I was highly sceptical going into this, but as the movie crept along I got more and more invested and, well...
This might - in some aspects - be viewed as little more than your standard (read classic) horror action movie with lots of things to complain about, if you're that kind of "critic"; the apparently greenscreened train station scene (I dare you to prove me wrong!), the music scenes have a pretentiousness to them that's hard to ignore, Jordan did NOT have to play two parts ("that's a PR-gimmick", as Max Rockatansky would say, while pointing at the two Jordans) an so on.
But at the same time, this is a well crafted (albeit shallow) story that also deals with racism, segregation, a longing for community and is - when push comes to shove - a movie that can be seen again and again with the same amount of excitement and joy each time. Just because it's all of the above: Vampires, racists, musicians, cool characters and some pretty intense action.
It captures the essence of good entertainment in a way few of it's contemporaries manages to do.
