Ryan Coogler about the personal post-credits scene of the sinners

sinner was mainly advertised for the prospect of Michael B. Jordan Play twins and kick against vampires. Both are in the film, but his true protagonist is Sammie (Miles Caton), the young cousin of the Smokestack Twins. Much of the events focus on his musical talents and how they bring the people of the 1930s Clarksdale to the Juke -Joint of the twins – including the vampires who only want to take part in the celebrations. But what becomes a polite request to be transformed into an enemy takeover and then the rest of the film happens.

After everything said and did, Sammie is the only person who survives the night in the Juke joint. Instead of returning to his family and leaving music, Sammie leaves the city as a whole and becomes a famous blues player. Flash striker until 1992, and the older Sammie (played by Chicago guitarist Buddy Guy) just appeared as two known faces appear: stack and his girlfriend Mary (Hailee Steinfeld), both of whom were shot in 1932 and burned the city as the other vampires in front of the sun. Smoke let stack live over the promise, he leaves Sammie alone, but the timeless couple just had to see how the preacher boy went for himself. The vampires offer to turn it so that he can live and continue playing forever, but he kindly refuses and says goodbye to them with some old blues as he used to play.

Speak to Entertainment weeklyThe director/writer Ryan Coogler revealed that he initially had problems with shooting the scene. When he asked Jordan what Stack would do at that moment, his long -time employee decided to bring his fake fangs into it and face the neck nearby. Jordan was already wearing his costume of the 90s and contact lenses for stacks shining eyes, and Guy’s 88 years old, so that Coogler was initially freaked out. But it was just a hug and a bit of a moment for the filmmaker.

“Bro, I collapsed in crying tears because I realized that this whole film was about it,” said Coogler. “In many ways it was a reason for the film. It was about not saying goodbye to my uncle. He was described beforehand sinner As a Love letter To his family history and in particular his uncle James, who reproduced in 2015 as an erz production in the first Believe. When Coogler heard his uncle died, he remembered: “I felt like shit. It was something I had to calculate.”

Loss is a main topic for several characters in Sinner, Some of them recently lost the family or remember those who have been gone for some time. Smoke dies that he died of his alienated wife Annie (Wunmi Osaku), who died during the vampire attack, and her little daughter, who died before the events of the film. Coogler’s loss drove him to the blues music that his late uncle used to love, including Guy. When he was alive, his uncle loved “Blues records on vinyl and hear or see the San Francisco Giants. If the music was good and they had enough to drink Diaspora ghosts of the past and the future summon as seen in the film.

For Sammie, the best of his life was in the Juke Joint that night, and he felt alive for the patrons. The same applies to stack because it last saw smoke, saw the sun and felt “really free”. Despite the music that ultimately led to this traumatic night, she brought her together and now for the last time, and she can keep the loved ones alive long after they are gone.
