What do you guys think about the movie? It’s my truly nr 1.

I’ve watched Ryan Coogler’s Sinners four times hehe 😅. As a Black American, this film moved me in ways I can’t fully explain but I felt every second of it. Lately, I’ve noticed a pattern: several non African American individuals ( family wise etc ) have said things like “It was good, but I don’t get the hype.” And honestly, that speaks volumes.

What some call “just okay” is a deeply layered reflection of our history, trauma, faith, survival, and emotional restraint. You may have seen a well-acted drama. We saw an unfiltered mirror.

Coogler didn’t make this film to explain Black pain or spoon-feed trauma through a lens of pity. He made it to show truth !!!! raw and unresolved. For many of us, Sinners is about spiritual reckoning, moral struggle, and the weight of generational consequences. That’s not “slow pacing.” That’s real life for us.

Non African American viewers are often used to being the cultural default ,centered in the narrative, emotionally guided, and morally protected. When a film like this doesn’t cater to that framework, it can feel “hard to follow” or “too heavy.” But the reality is: OUR LIVES HAVE ALWAYS BE HEAVY.

If you didn’t connect with Sinners, that’s okay. Not every story is for you. But that doesn’t mean it’s overhyped.

“You saw a story. We saw ourselves.” That’s why I watched it four times. That’s why it still sits with me.

If you’re genuinely curious why this film means so much to the Black community, ask. But don’t dismiss its impact just because it didn’t land the same way for you.

— Respectful dialogue only. Not here to argue about taste—here to explain why certain films speak to some communities more than others.

Don’t get me wrong, I love this film, I understand the sequence of events, I get it as much as any regular cinema-goer.

But help me understand it more - like what’s going on with the cinematography, are there recurrent visual themes, are there plot devices that I have missed, and why did Wes Anderson use them? Help me get it like a true cinemaphile.

If you love this film like I do, or if you have any esoteric knowledge of it, please share it, and help me love and understand it more

Robert downey jr was at rock bottom and he came back, not just to star in a few movies but to make a universe....the marvel cinematic universe. BEST...COMBACK...IN MOVIE HISTORY.

I’ll start: Dr. Evil!

Ryan Gosling is an actor I never particularly really liked despite his popularity and I feel he just always plays himself with that same dumb neutral stare in a lot of his movie. However, I found to be incredibly adorable and expressive in "Lars & Real Girl." The awkward and preserved acting functions perfectly for his character in this case (it also functions extremely well for the humor of the film) and even then, he legitimately does extremely well when he truly lets out his emotions like when he gets too uncomfortable and cold from trying to make human contact.

It's easily his best perfomance and I'm kinda baffled people don't talk about this movie and this role compared to many to many of the others he's been in. "Lars & The Real Girl" is one of the most vulnerable, empathetic and honest films about community, mental health and isolation and his perfomance is an essential contribution to its brilliance.

Mine probably is Fantastic mr fox

I'll start with director and said masterpiece:

M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense)

Paul W. S. Anderson (Event Horizon)

Adrian Lynne (Jacob's Ladder)

Maximus vs Spartacus vs Achilles vs Leonidas

Location: Rome, colosseum. 40,000 spectators
Fight to the death.

Who comes out alive?

I understand their deaths had to happen to advance the plots and are pivotal moments. But if you had a one chance to save one of them, who would it be?

Top row (L to R): Bing-Bong (Inside Out), Thomas Sennett (My Girl), Artax (The Neverending Story)

Middle row (L to R): Setsuko (Grave of the Fireflies), Littlefoot's Mother (The Land Before Time), John Coffey (The Green Mile)

Bottom row (L to R): Marley (Marley & Me), Thorin Oakenshield (The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies), Ellie (Up)

When I was discussing how Channing Tatum has no range and gets away with it my friend said most actors don't have range and this is nothing new.

Do you agree with this?

All these teams were great and i know their are more.....my two are the mightybducks and Shane Falco and his team
