It seems like that choice adds depth to an anti-capitalist reading of the vampires, because it makes the vampires represent not just capital, but also whiteness. Remmick’s vampirism reflects how America assimilated the Irish into white culture. Remmick’s music and dance are recognizably Irish, but flattened and stripped of their spirit. His performance is almost a mockery. Whiteness threatens art in more ways than forcing it into a capitalist system; it saps art of context, authorship, memory, intentionality, and feeling.

2025-10-27 19:23:45 +0000 UTCNow I love the juke joint music scene, but the relationship of the brothers was my favorite part. I love my big brother and the final scene where he expressed the last time he was truly happy was the last day he saw his brother alive, made me choke up. My brother is alive and well but the movie made me think “what would I do without him there with me”? There was times in my life where all I had was my brother and you briefly see both Smoke and Stack lost and defenseless without their literal other half. It’s nice to see this type of depiction with Black brotherhood, very little conflict amongst the 2 and the conflict they do have is strictly a concern of each others safety and futures. The film is much deeper than the relationship with our culture but also that relationship we have with each other within that culture.
