When the twins was robbing banks and trains, I just knew Bo Chow let them used the store as a hideout and probably their stash too. And they cut him sum.

And ofc Grace wasn’t here for it lol

Ok so this could be just me, but did anyone else thought of what would be if both Sammie AND Pearline had the gift of music? I thought for sure that Pearline had the same gift as Sammie. Do you guys think the story would change or stay the same? I might write this as a short story if people actually want to see this.

Poor Cornbread, if I was in his shoes, I would be terrified too-

"Pissing all by yourself, handsome?"

[8philip20hamilton4]

I'm convinced that was one of the reasons why Annie wanted to not turn, because she knew that she would be too powerful as a vampire & didn't want to raise hell on Earth-

singing vampire Annie would’ve been so good! She would’ve easily convinced Sammie to join her coven🔥🦇

Hear me out . . . Sinners, but it's a Swap AU.

Pearline & Sammie are swapped.

Maybe Annie & Smoke too, not sure . . . Any ideas?

Please reblog if you have any ideas I want to see if other people see the vision.

btw the thing she couldn’t ignore was someone calling her out for saying anti-depressants/hormone therapy are only perscribed by lazy doctors

In a happier universe, this is what would've happened.

Everyday I think what could have been in terms of Pearline being a singer, making her big break and taking the world by storm 🥹🥹Imagine Sammie and Pearl being a dynamic duo in the studio on some kendrick and sza, jay and bey shit.

AND THAN STUPID REMMICK RUINS IT AND NOW THIS POST HAS ME BAWLING MY EYES OUT-

Upon reflection

Sinners blends several genres. Namely coming-of-age, period drama and musicals. All of these genres feature prominent love stories. This film is no different.

The Juke Joint is a place of fellowship and community. It is packed with Sinners who need reprieve and comfort. In this place, we reckon with death, resurrection and baptism.

On the way to Clarksdale Station, the best man (Stack) has already given Sammie some brothely advice on how to please a woman. Once they get there, Stack introduces Preacher Boy to a man who would be willing to officiate the ceremony.

Delta Slim is an elder that they all respect, he is the officiant. He has to be the one that weds them because Sammie's dad would be repulsed by the venue, the relationship and their love of secular music.

When Pearline and Sammie first speak, she doesn't tell him her last name (because it's about to change). She also gives him her hand (in marriage!!!), letting him know that she is interested

Later on, in this scene where its just Slim and Sammie on stage, he is teaching Sammie about the power and responsibility that comes with this choice. He addresses the congregation before welcoming the groom to the front.

'I Lied to You' is a proposal. Preacher Boy is at his most vulnerable, baring his soul, hoping the love of his life will know what she means to him.

The resonator guitar is the ring. It is the only thing Sammie is holding as he proposes to her.

Pearline spends most of this song dancing for Sammie and Sammie spends a good couple of verses, just singing to the love of his life (as we see in the End Credit Scene flashback)

"Somebody take me in your arms" is not just asking for companionship, but acceptance. Kind of like "take me as your lawfully wedded husband" without the legal bits cause you know Pearline already has a man

In the back room, Pearline happily tears off her scarf (her veil) and kisses Sammie all while he looks drunk in love

Ignore the random planks of wood in the back and tell me this isn't giving honeymoon

Sammie goes down on to his knees as a declaration of his feelings and a testament to his loyalty. Pearline accepts the gesture (the I do moment)

Of course, Pearline is nervous on their wedding night (the 'hold on, Preacher Boy' 'let me wash up first') but Sammie is a man in love so naturally, he reassures her.

The ceremony is a small, private affair. With only a few witnesses (Stack's nosy ass for Sammie and Grace for Pearline)

Moments later, we see them both looking proud and joyful with Pale, Pale Moon

This is their reception. Everyone is thriving, celebrating love and new opportunities. It is a joyful, vibrant affirmation of their love. In a cut scene, Sammie is admiring his woman as she shines on stage. There is nothing but adoration in his eyes. He found a wife, and a good thing (Proverbs 18:22)

From some angles Pearline even looks like she is wearing a whitish/silver dress. Just like a bride

Sammie is dressed like a groom with a smart shirt and a waistcoat (in contrast to the overalls Cornbread wears).

The father-son conflict comes back into play with the wedding metaphor. Jedediah doesn't approve of the Blues, let alone Pearline so when Preacher Boy walks back into the church Sunday morning - his father's first priority is getting him to renounce his vows.

Once again going back to resonator guitar = Sammie's wedding ring, because Sammie refuses to leave it behind despite his father's pleas.

In the space of two days, we see these two meet, flirt, get engaged, have their first kiss, get married and enjoy their reception.

Sammie sees Pearline when Jedediah mentions his heart because in this life and the next, that's his baby. He refuses to swear off the blues because that is what bonds them. .

These vows are yet another reason why Sammie isn't interested in Stack's offer. Why would he want to walk the earth as a vampire when the love of his life is already gone?

Side note: look at the way Slim is cackling behind them! That is a mentor, that is a father, that is a man that loves love.

Get into it:

The Juke Joint is the church

In that scene, their ancestors and descendants are present for this milestone

Delta Slim is the officiant

In the back room, Sammie gets down on his knees. Pearline tears the scarf off (her veil). This is their wedding ceremony. They kiss and walk away forever changed.

Stack and Grace are the witnesses (voyeurs, really)

Pale, Pale Moon is their reception.

The lyrics show that they are equally yoked.

Sammie's dad disapproves of this marriage, which is why he is so desperate for Sammie to repent the next day.

Putting down the guitar would be like taking off his ring. Swearing off the blues would be like renouncing his vows

Jedediah doesn't see that this is a married man standing before him. One who plans to honour his late wife for the rest of his days.

This shot is my thesis statement. In the Juke Joint, their descendants are on the left of them and the ancestors are on the right. Pearline's ancestor (sis with the pearls) is to her right and her descendant (sis with the strips of orange and black cloth) is on her left. Sammie's ancestor (uncle in the white bubu) and descendant (Jimi Hendrix with the electric guitar) also flank either side of him.

This blocking implies that the young couple have their families blessing. After Pearline has accepted the proposal, their families blend into one so by the end of the song, Pearline is flanked by Sammie's ancestor and her descendant while Sammie is surrounded by Pearline's ancestor and his descendant.

TLDR - We watch Sammie and Pearline fall for eachother, say their vows and kiss. Their loved ones are present for the proposal, ceremony and reception. They are married.
