You could feel the heat in that movie.

You could feel the sweat in that movie.

And it's,

the difference between bad sweat and good sweat, like sweating on the dance floor versus sweating in the fields.

I mean, there was the reality of those two things and how gathering, coming together and socializing and connecting over food, food and drink show up very potently in the movie Sinners as a way to,

is a very distinctive way, and it becomes part of the voice of the film, as to what people deserve to break away from what's going on in their life.

To have that simple pleasure of having drink, food, music, connection together at one place.

And how, you know, whether you call it, you know, girls' night out or guys' night out, or if it's a cultural group, in this case, African-Americans coming together and saying, you know, they deserve to have that break away from sweating in fields to sweating on the dance floor.

and the absent of the weight of life in those places and the importance of that.

And it tips its hat to the Asian community as well.

And even the relationships of whites in growing up in these areas when it's like, well, at what point are you family or not?

Like at what point have you seen enough to understand or you haven't seen enough to understand?

Because you know the difference.

When you catch somebody, there's one character that you go, okay, they may know the difference.

And then there's other characters you go, they don't know the difference.

So it just, I thought that transformative type thing that makes you...

Doesn't preach or explain.

It gives you a peek, which I think is more powerful.

Just a peek.

See something going on in the life or with crazy ass turns.
