Michael B. Jordan talks with Los Angeles Times The Envelope about playing three characters in “Sinners” and how he drew from his own family experience in America to shape these performances: “The film speaks to the Black experience in America within these borders of 1930s Jim Crow South,” Coogler mused. “My mom’s family came from Hope, Ark., and my dad’s side comes from Shreveport, La. You know your grandparents as old people but forget that they were 25 once, you forget that they were ambitious and entrepreneurs and had some fun drinking and smoking or whatever it was, trying to find a little relief, you know, from whatever their harsh reality was at the time. So for me, ‘Sinners’ ended up being a love letter to my grandparents and great-grandparents. I wanted to honor the life they were trying to live during that time.”
