i mean the bedroom boyfriend also paid the price. that was a pretty significant thing that happened. like I understand where Brennan is coming from here but he very much also paid the price

“Another casualty where work boyfriends pay the price for bedroom boyfriends and their bad behavior.”

Oh my god that is the best description of Silver and Sworn I’ve ever heard!!!

In general, Sinners has great cinematography, but I think this tracking shot that follows Lisa Chow across the street from her parent's Black storefront to their White storefront is one of my favorites:

Look at how it immediately establishes the rules of the movie's setting.

This is Jim Crow Mississippi where Black and White residents essentially live in different worlds. The continuous take forces us (the audience) to experience that segregation in real time as we walk behind Lisa crossing the street. There are no cuts or edits to interrupt the discomfort of having to witness all those visual reminders of racism against Black Americans.

I think it's also significant that it's Lisa, an Asian American woman, who the camera follows. As someone who exists outside the Black-White racial binary, she’s able to traverse these two worlds but the bright red of her shirt still demarcates her as a conspicuous outsider amidst all the blue and brown on both sides, representing the uniquely precarious position of Asians in the U.S.’s racial hierarchy.

Une vie à t'aimer is an argument between Renoir and Aline over their conflicting viewpoints about the canvas. Renoir is begging Aline to return to him and their family, while Aline holds onto what is left of her son in his painting. But in the middle of the conflict and the singers overlapping voices, there is a break, and a piano plays.

The piano in the song is Verso’s presence lingering. His name is mentioned multiple times throughout the song as well, with the lyrics (translated) “Verso embraced’, “Verso erased”. The piano disrupts their fighting for a moment, but is eventually cut off when they start singing again.

I think there’s two possibilities for this. The piano is Verso desperately trying to get a word in and appeal to his parents to stop this, but Renoir and Aline interrupt and continue regardless of his wishes. Or it’s a moment of peace for Aline and Renoir to remember their son and his memory.

Regardless of the interpretation, the point is the piano solo is cut short and Aline and Renoir begin to argue again. It doesn’t solve anything. Verso’s memory and soul doesn’t change the fact that he’s still gone, and nobody knows how to deal with it.

This was as much an excuse to vent about the Gestral Beaches as it was to draw Esquie building a sand castle. XD

It's about grief. It's about letting go. It's about fighting on. It's about family. It's about the existential horror of mimes.

It's about escapism. It's about surviving despite it all. It's about the wonder of the world even in darkness. It's about mimes beating the shit out of you.

It's about love. It's about heartbreak. It's about who the fuck put all those mimes here

clea is such a mood. the quest for perfection in art is so real, and so very frustrating.
