Refreshing: Instead of rehearsed “thank you” videos where actors or directors express gratitude before a movie starts, Ryan Coogler has penned a heartfelt note expressing his appreciation for the successful opening weekend of his film, Sinners. He highlights the significance of the cinematic experience, the contributions of his team and artistic inspirations, and even mentions the joy of enjoying popcorn while watching a movie. In this note, Coogler emphasizes that he was making this film not just for himself or his family, but for the audience in theaters.
The significance of this isn’t just in the thoughtful gesture and the recognition of all the people and elements involved in movie-making; it also provides a context for “Sinners” within a cinematic history, both past and future. “Sinners”, being Ryan Coogler’s first original film since his debut with “Fruitvale Station”, lacks an established fan base, such as Irish step-dancing vampires. Ryan Coogler’s list of influences is extensive, including the likes of Christopher Nolan, Spike Lee, John Singleton, Paul Thomas Anderson, Mati Diop, and Nia Dacosta. There seems to be no mention of “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish”, perhaps because he has already discussed it extensively. In a postscript, Coogler acknowledges his editor Michael Shawver, writing, “I’d like to give a shout-out to Michael Shawver, our picture editor who I have been working with for 15 years. His exceptional work on this film is not receiving the recognition it deserves.
Regardless of one’s interpretation of Sinners, this film represents a deeply personal journey of faith for Coogler. His heartfelt acknowledgement to audiences symbolizes the collaborative, joyful attitude that sustains the film industry. Remarkably touching are the responses from fans worldwide, expressing gratitude for his creative vision, hiring local crews in Louisiana, and trusting the tale. Those requesting a prequel or sequel may not fully understand – now is the moment to appreciate its brilliance.
