Literally Patrick And Art

leo’s hair is CURLY and his skin is NOT PALE and he only wore overalls ONCE

I will never forgive Viria for making everyone think that Leo's hair is straight/wavy (it's curly) and that he wears that atrocious outfit (he wore it 1 time).

Everytime someone give him straight hair an angel lost it's wing and at this point it's a mass murder

god’s own country was actually such a beautiful movie. not even just the story, which DID make me cry in the end, but the scenery. even with the bleak and cold colors, the landscapes were gorgeous

i know they’re tired of my ass 😭

My ancestors looking down at me as I talk about how much I love white men

literally one of the best movies i’ve ever seen. walked out of that theater shaking (bc the movie was SO scary and good) and crying (bc i love music and i love black culture)

SINNERS (2025) dir. by Ryan Coogler

mother!!

[ bullfrog by doechii ]

if sinners (2025) taught me anything, it's that it IS actually always about race.

you can be oppressed, and still promote and maintain the very same systems of oppression onto other marginalized people. being oppressed in one dimension doesn't allow you to be exempt from oppressing in other dimensions. the "villain" of the movie, remmick, being from the time period of the english colonization of ireland, all the while wanting to take a piece of sammie's own culture from him, use him for it. and this plot point coming after remmick witnesses the significance of sammie's playing within his culture, for his ancestors and how it would shape Black culture in the future.

even in today's society, ive noticed that people treat Black people like a commodity. our worth is only as much as other people decide it to be, and that's usually dependent on how much the oppressor can take from us. for example, the controversy of"internet slang" and how it is blatantly just AAVE with a bad disguise on

do you listen to Black musicians? do you watch Black movies? do you engage with Black creators? do you defend the racist tendencies you notice in your friends, in your family, or do you stay silent? do you listen when Black people tell you you've said or done something racist? do you actually care about not being racist, or do you just not want to look like you're racist?

i just think people have a very specific take on what racism is, and that if they're not committing KKK-levels of violence on people, then they're not racist. or if you've experienced oppression in one form, you cannot possibly be engaging with oppression in another form. but the ways in which we interact with other people and the world will always be through the lens of race, because that is simply what it means for oppression to be systemic, especially in the US and our current political climate

anyway 10/10 movie. highly recommend

i love seeing real analyses on challengers 😭 all of the “mike faist hot 🤤” stuff is very nice and relatable, but i like seeing people’s thoughts on the movie beyond just that

Art's relationship with food is so important to me. Obviously, we know tennis and Tashi keep him on a strict diet with all the electrolytes and the green juices and shit, just another way he's restricted in his adult life. But when he's with Patrick he eats all kinds of unhealthy fatty foods freely (honorable mention to how Patrick uses food for flirting). And I don't think it's not only a representative of his relationship with each of them, it's also a reflection of Patrick's and Tashi's personalities and how Art just absorbs them, does that make any sense??? The churro scene, Patrick saying Art's dreaming about eating hamburgers again, the barely touched Applebee's dessert. I think it's all so telling of their dynamics. But I don't know, I might just be obsessed with food.

And don't get me started with the oral fixation...
