Annie: There are legends of people born with the gift of making music so true, it can pierce the veil between life and death; conjuring spirits from the past...and the future. In ancient Ireland, they were called Filí. In Choctaw land, they called them Fire Keepers. And in West Africa, they were called Griots. This gift can bring healing to their communities. But it also...attracts evil....

Poor Sammie played literally his first gig and immediately got the worst fan to ever exist
That was the last sunrise I ever saw. Perhaps the kindest thing the dark gift has given me. // It was the last time I saw my brother. It was the last time I saw the sun. It was the only time I ever felt free.

There are some beautiful moments between Emerald and OJ at the end of the scene; and then they play or they do something…. The only time you see a bit of play with OJ is when Emerald gets it out of him, ya know? Because she’s the only person that can really unlock him.

“The famous slap, where Tibbs retaliates against a racist landowner, wasn’t improvised, though, as has been suggested. I kept telling [Sidney] Poitier that Tibbs was a sophisticated detective, not used to being pushed around. I showed him how to do the slap. ‘Don’t hit him on the ear,’ I said. ‘I want you to really give him a crack on the fatty side of his cheek.’ I told him to practise on me. A black man had never slapped a white man back in an American film. We broke that taboo.
”Young black people in northern cities responded to the film in a much more visceral way than the whites did. This was the first time a black actor was wearing the fancy suit and being looked up to.” -Director of In the Heat of the Night (1967), Norman Jewison on The Slap Heard Round The World

whenever I watch a really cool film about blackness full of beautiful and talented black actors and telling very black story - or like. ANY media centered around POC with little white presence, tbh - I’m always so excited to see some cool analyses or gifsets from tumblr about it and am inevitably disappointed when I see only a couple posts with like maybe 24 notes each.
unless there’s some famous British white boy in it for more than 0.2 seconds in which case it’ll boost it up to like ~75 on average with over 70% of the posts being thirst posts about the white dudes.
i shouldn’t be surprised when this happens at this point and yet I still manage to be disappointed
