white people are so fucking annoying like i’m still so mad about that person calling sinners “het slop” like, to watch sammie and pearline fall in love in a night and be separated by death within hours and then later see he named his bar/band after her all those years later
to see delta slim, who met sammie HOURS PRIOR and gave his life to make sure sammie was able to live and shine with his gifts forever
to see smoke and annie, separated by love and grief over the death of their infant daughter and united by the same things
to see stack and mary separated by the racial dynamics of their time and the dangers of society, given a second chance in death to walk the world together forever
to see grace fucking chow!!!! literally kill her husband and go down with him in flames because of the love for her daughter
to see sammie! sweet sammie moore the preacher boy who only wanted to play his music and let his light shine, unknowingly piercing the veil between life and death, inviting the ancestors and descendants to every party he plays, who was willing to die for the love of music and his freedom! who defeated the evil with the power of music and ancestry and got to LIVE!
to see smoke die in acceptance after slaying the kkk after fighting off vampires for the entire night and having to stab the love of his life in the chest, to see him reunite with her and their child after a night of horror
to see smoke and stack lovingly embrace and try to build a communal space for their community and family to be free of all struggles just for a few hours and be torn apart
to see ALL OF THIS and reduce the movie to, “het slop” is just insane and racist like there’s no other way to slice it
