Island of Misfit Toys

Yknow, after seeing Project Hail Mary I was fully expecting this website to be all over shipping Grace and Rocky, so to instead find that everyone has agreed that Grace is an aroace icon and he and Rocky are platonic soulmates is a real fun change of pace that is still oh so very tumblr

UPDATE THEY DID THE FUCKING SONG

Because Remmick is juxtaposed with the KKK members, some white viewers believed that he is their opposite in terms of being racist and thus isn’t racist himself. But his own racism is that of an insidious kind. Some ppl think that racism only consists of outright lynching and yelling slurs, but like all bigotries there are levels and different ways to express it. Though Remmick talks about unity and fellowship, and wanting to commune with his ancestors, all respectable things, it’s what his idea of unity looks like. This is most clear in the scenes when Sammie is singing his song and when Remmick is dancing outside. Sammie’s song breaches the veil and calls forth not just his peoples, but the peoples of everyone there. They all dance to his song in their own ways, displaying their own cultures. Whereas Remmick is only doing an Irish song and dance and he is the center of attention, despite now having the knowledge and history of everyone under his thrall only his culture is displayed there. His idea of unity is just plain ol’ assimilation, like the kind the British tried to do to his people. And though he does ask at first, when Smoke and them decline, he resorts to violence to get what he wants, and taking over their bodies and minds.

I was like, "surely not..."

It's wild to me that this is even happening with a film that has the staggeringly handsome, very talented, OSCAR-WINNING Michael B. Jordan acting his heart out as not one but TWO complex (and gorgeous!) characters!

The funniest part of Sinners was when the Native Americans just said “yeahhh good luck with that”
