Released in April 2025,Sinnershas rapidly become a massive success.
Based on the trailer alone, audiences can make a few assumptions about whatSinnerswill entail.
These things are certainly true, but the movie actually contains so much more than that.

A major aspect of the film is its setting in Jim Crow-era Mississippi, around the 1920s.
The music inSinnersis accurate to its time.
Furthermore, music is consistently portrayed as something that everyone can agree on.
That’s exactly why Remmick uses it as his initial strategy.
Sinners Uses Blues vs.
This idea is perfectly summarized by a line Stack says early on in the film.
The blues is deeply rooted in Black history and culture.
Remmick wants to steal something that simply doesn’t belong to him.
African tribal dancers celebrate the music in the same way that rappers and DJs of today do.
Sammie’s blues are a connecting point between all of Black history.
This is what separates Remmick from Sammie.
Remmick’s folk music is just as important as Sammie’s blues.
Coogler defended the blues by saying: “…[it’s] for the full body.
The soul and the flesh.
It acknowledges the flesh and the pain that comes with a situation, the sexual desire, the anger.
The whims of the flesh and the soul are acknowledged there.”
