“Remmick: I am your way out. This world already left you for dead. Won’t let you build. Won’t let you fellowship. We will do just that. Together. Forever.” – SINNERS, a Ryan Coogler film.
I just experienced it in theaters again today for the fourth time, which is a first for me with any movie. I wanted to catch it on 70MM before it’s no longer available. Huge thanks cinemark Webb Chapel and Jacob for offering me a behind-the-scenes look at the setup prior to the next screening. Special appreciation also goes out to Dick, who traveled from London specifically for IMAX to prepare the film for each performance. Additionally, Cinemark is operating 24 hours a day to accommodate the viewing schedule so that as many viewers as possible can see it, and every single show during this 70MM comeback has sold out! People flew in from as close as Houston and as far as Brazil to Dallas to see it—now that’s extraordinary!!
I’ve got plenty of thoughts swirling around my head, but here are my most succinct ones...
– This film is a perfect film. Give Mr. Coogler his extra 1 point! 💯
– The use of metaphors is exceptional.
– It’s destined, excellent and intentional—maybe we should coin a new acronym: DEI?
– I’m currently experiencing one of my most profound creative moments, feeling and envisioning like never before.
– Protect your gifts and talents; we embody the culture and influence everything! Stay sober, deliberate, and avoid letting everyone in, no matter how alluring and tempting it seems; protect your gifts and your soul.
– Ryan Coogler and michaelbjordan are deserving of Oscars for best original screenplay and best lead actor; to me, they’ve already won those honors in so many of our eyes!! Proud of them!!
Sincerely,
KZ
