Midsommar

i don't get why people think that is part of the themeing. the "good guys" are white too and the three minorities in the movie come off as pretty unlikable desu. you've been on /pol/ too much if you saw this as an anti white movie and not just a horror movie set in an interesting location

it was a slow burner , atmospheric and with NO jump scares, 5 star must see!

I know exactly what you mean was thinking that the whole time

>Everyone in the theater laughed at the sex scene for example.

same in my theater, the guy's facial expressions were pretty priceless. got a roar of laughter when the fat bitch started helping him thrust by pushing him

i liked the movie but have the same complaint i had with hereditary, which is that was too long and too slow. 2.5 hours for this movie was way too much

the movie is about how the director felt after his break up. basically he's the boyfriend in the bear suit. but leave it to leftist critics to see yas queen slay BS in everything and leave it to Yea Forums to get triggered when reviews started praising the movie for hardcore feminism and anti-men and other BS that only pompous leftist asses could find. most of those commenting on the movie never saw it nor will. but they just go by retarded reviews.

she's got those doe eyes and half the movie is close ups of her making pouty faces with her lips, goddam i feel like i got blue ball'd by not getting a scene of her getting railed by the swedish guy

just google her nudes. she's done more on screen sex than some porn stars.

>reviews started praising the movie for hardcore feminism

are critics actually saying that? i'd hardly call the mc a "feminist heroine", the only real decision she makes the entire movie is at the very very end, and even then she only turns on her bf after watching fuck a stranger surrounded by a bunch of naked women.

where can I find this movie, not out where I live yet

based, thank you

Best movie i’ve seen in theaters this year. A unique experience

yes that's what they say. which is ridiculous since Dany has no agency. she turns on her boyfriend after being set up to do so by the cult. they drugged her whenever she had an episode and then drugged her boyfriend and forced him to have sex with another woman while Dany didn't know he wasn't willing. and then they let her see their sex and draw wrong conclusion and then they acted all emphatic and shit. it's completely retarded to act like the end was triumph of will when she was manipulated into it. but that's woke critics to you.

Is there anythink linking the sister's murder-suicide to Pelle? Or is this pure speculation?

It’s pure speculative nonsense. I saw some reviewers were saying they “wished the family death at the beginning had more to do with the ending and cult”

Good but not scary. Hereditary had spooky demon stuff but this was just weird traditions.

Nope, it's a speculation. pelle just took advantage of the unexpected situation but he didn't kill anyone. he was the recruiter for sure, though. And I bet that the talk about the event taking place every 90 years was BS to make potentials more pressed to attend. They did it every year. parents dying in fire (sounds exactly like the fire from the end). Also, where are all those other May Queens go? We didn't meet any did we?

I don't think that was the case at all. People didn't start dying until the cultists saw, from their perspective, that their guests were overreacting to the suicides. From there they felt threatened that they may bring undue attention to the commune, ie police or media. Add to the fact that their customs were being violated at every turn...

I'm almost positive if they kept their cool, didn't try to steal what they would consider their bible and not have their ancestor's ashes pissed on, it would've just been a lovely vacation.

nah, they would be killed, that's why they were brought in. they were all brought in to get sacrificed.

It was terrifying. Who knew white people could be so evil.

>generic bashing of an anime avatar

Yea I'm surprised. For real.

How the fuck does this movie invoke nostalgia?

Where did all the other foreign guests go? When they arrived in Sweden there was way more then their group and the 2 from Londonistan.

I'm not entirely convinced. Even though that's what ended up happening, I don't think they originally intended for the guests to be the ones sacrificed.

It would have been better if it had just been a straight movie about olden times instead of this dumb isekai story we got

It's describing the typical A24 Audience. Twitter college students.

Funfact, Midsommar is a post-christian holiday and there is more related to John the Baptist than any pagan rites. In fact there is no evidence what so ever of pre-Christian midsummer.

they were very efficient with killing and removing the bodies and sacrifices and how they pressed dany into siding with them so it looks like they have lots of practice. however, they did not orchestrated the family's death, that's BS reddit speculation. they are just proficient at taking advantage of insecure young people.

Like who? We see all of Christian's friends die or their body after the fact, and the only other ones that came were the 2 British people that Ingmar brought.

I for one am a Yea Forums college graduate

I swear there were other guests when they first walk in and you see them chatting in the background

i don't believe this at all, the movie makes the cult seem very "go with the flow" rather than plotting a big plan. i don't think it really mattered that the main girl was may queen, it just happened so whatever. once the outsiders got brought to the commune, they already had what they wanted and didn't really care if the people went along with it or if they tried to leave. i guess the only exception was the red head wanting to fuck that guy, which they got via drugging him, not any big master plan.

dani wasn't even planning to go on the trip until like two weeks before they left, her family dying was just serendipity.

Attached: 1547150032649.jpg (960x1280, 157K)

agreed, given how most people describe the movie as revolving around a cult i expected more occult shit. really the movie that this reminds me of more than anything is The Wicker Man, which i wouldn't really call horror

Its just because she looked fatter than all the other girls at the commune. Since she’s American of course. She’s hot as fuck though.

they made it pretty clear at the end that they needed 9 sacrifices, 4 insiders, 4 outsiders, and 1 chosed by the may queen. i don't think there was any way this would have ended without at least 4 of them dying and i assume the rest wouldn't just be set free to tell the world afterwards

Saw Hereditary with my friend last year. His wife said he was jumpy all hell when he went to bed. I had an hour and a half drive home, at dark, thinking of THAT scene, and when I got home, staye dup several more hours until my roommate at the time came home. Went to bed thinking, "I'm gonna have nightmares". Woke up the next morning and indeed had nightmares. This was just stupid and weird. I tried to hold on for as long as I could but when the sex scene happened everyone in the theater including myself just started laughing at how silly and over the top it was. As I sit here typing this out I think I finally understand how my 7th grade English teacher felt when we showed him Salad Fingers back in the day.

Pretty much: strong beginning, meh middle, and just awful ending. Felt like all the discarded ideas from Hereditary.

Haven't watched the movie because I can't be fucked, but I am curious, is the "may queen" supposed to be part of the midsummer tradition or something?

i have no idea if any of this is supposed to be accurate to anything, but in the movie the women all dance until they're too tired to stand, the last one left is the may queen and gets to bless the land for fertility or something and gets to choose one of the sacrifices

Ah, so it's supposed to be apart of their own wacky cultist ceremony?

Just thought it funny since I've never once in my life heard the term "may queen" before today.

The entire belief system of the cult is made up stuff. They only take small references to actual Midsummer traditions and incorporate them into their cultish antics.

Not as bad as the desperate /pol/shills

Best representation of psychdelics in media ever.

The movie isn’t anti-men, you’re just a retard

My theatre was packed but I live in Staten Island and we love movies like this so I guess I'm out of touch. It's disappointing but unsurprising with a premier next to a Spider-Man sequel.

cringe

There was the Indian girl and I don’t think we ever saw her body

May Queens are a real thing, though they’re usually not much like the ones in the movie. They’re usually just a chick that gets a flower crown and maybe rides on a float on May Day, a spring festival. They’re like a prom queen, the position doesn’t mean much. The dancing til they fall thing is probably inspired by other stuff and fused with the May Queen idea in the story. May poles are/were real too, though. The movie cherry picks real world ideas and fuses them, for the most part.

It’s pretty clearly meant to evoke pagan rituals from across Europe mixed with hippie commune-like practices and not to be a strict representation of any one culture

We see them pushing a wheelbarrow holding a scarecrow made out of her skin into the sacrifice hut before they burn it.

Yeah, it was astonishingly close to my experience of taking LSD, both visually and in the way you feel that events sort of "get away from you" or the general lack of a feeling of control.

Anyone else get a hearty laugh from the IT trailer?

You and your friend both sound like oversensitive pussies. Do you cry during movies too?

Are there any cultures in which a wooden temple is burned, historically? Because they burn a temple every year at Burning Man, along with a wooden human effigy, which ties in with the Wicker Man influence

Yeah, I distinctly remember a fat background chick with wide fucking hips and a huge ass wearing red shorts and a t-shirt who looked like a tourist at the beginning, right when the four main college kids came in at the sun shaped gate. I was distracted by how fat she was but I think she might’ve even had a backpack, and there were a couple other plain clothed looking people besides her that looked like backpackers who we never saw after that scene.

I suppose it’s possible they were cultists that were just wearing their casual clothes for the day, but my assumption was that a lot of the visitors were only dropping by for the first day’s feast and fucked off after that. Presumably the five people we see stay past that point were special invited for the rest of the festivities.

he literally said that you idiot, he's just saying a couple retard critics with an axe to grind say that it is and this has fully triggered the /pol/ tourists on Yea Forums

none of that fucking happened. They didn't know ahead of time she would be queen or whatever, and the redhead girl just wanted to fuck him, not knowing that he would become the scapegoat soon

What didn't you like about it?

even at noon on sunday the shittiest theater in my tiny city had like ten people, i'd say that's pretty good for a movie like this

Didn't Pelle and Ingmar arrive dressed in regular clothes? The others were probably cultists that hadn't yet changed into their usual culty garb yet.

I think it's a shame that Ari aster is not able to translate his devastating depictions of grief and relationship/family distinction into films that are really scary. He's got a tremendous baroque aesthetic sense, but in both this film and hereditary, scenes that are supposed to be frightening all too often end up feeling slightly hokey. For example the sex scene in this, and the crowning scene in hereditary.

yeah at the beginning when they were doing and drugs and then just getting into the camp i distinctly remember there being a few other backpacker types. maybe that was supposed to be other cult members who were out living in the world and came home but didn't have any prey with them. the mc's swedish friend didn't change into cult clothes until they made it to camp, so it would fit the rest of the movie

The comedy in Midsommar is intentional, the director said so in interviews

*Disintegration

I think those were people returning from the pilgrimage they mention as part of their season lifestyle thing.

SUCKED

Of course

I don’t think Pelle or the cult knew with any certainty exactly what was gonna go down, but they make a point to say Pelle was being “rewarded for good intuition” by being spared from the sacrifice even though he was supposed to be slated for death because he delivered outsiders, so he must’ve done something right. In contrast, the swedish guy that failed to bang the london chick and got cucked by her fiance had to die. Also, Pelle had seemed crazy happy about Dani coming along. I think he wanted her genes in his community, and he’d had some kinda hunch with her that paid off.

I’m really not sure if Pelle staged the murder suicide, though. I need to watch the film again really closely to see if there are any clues he was tied to that. It really might’ve been a coincidence. I think a lot of impact having to do with Dani’s sister’s suicide will be lost if it turns out they were simply murdered by cultists, though, so I sorta hope that theory can be debunked.

even the most hoity toity artiste couldn't watch that sex scene and not find it funny, it had to be on purpose.

but otherwise, i agree. i think the only scary moments in this entire movie are when the guy wears the other guy's skin when stalking the black guy and when the main girl is in the bathroom and for a split second you see someone else's reflection in the mirror. both of these moments lasted about five seconds and ultimately didn't matter.

in hereditary, the first seance scene legitimately spooked me out because it was the first indication i had that it would be "that kind of movie" and not just family drama. the filmmaker can clearly pull this kind of stuff off when he wants to, i think he just prefers to use it sparingly, and while i agree a lot of films do overuse this shit, i really would like for him to give us more of that shit given how long and slow his movies feel

I think I went into the film with a certain set of expectations, and so I really wasn't primed to find any of it funny. I also hadn't read anything about the film so didn't know it was intended to be a dark comedy.

Maybe I should rewatch. Rereading the thread it seems maybe my experience was slightly nonstandard, since no one laughed at any point in the theatre I was in.

Or maybe I'm just autistic who knows.

>long and slow
must be a zoomer thing

>they make a point to say Pelle was being “rewarded for good intuition” by being spared from the sacrifice even though he was supposed to be slated for death

i wasn't paying close enough attention in this sequence, but i didn't necessarily think that delivering outsiders meant you had to die, i thought they said ingmer volunteered but then also said they honored pelle for bringing outsiders, not necessarily that he was supposed to die too but would be spared.

right up until the fire got to them, ingmer and the other dude didn't seem too turned off by the idea of being sacrificed, or at least not enough to try fleeing. the same is true for the old people who jumped off the cliff. they make it seem like these people have all fully drunk the koolaid, so the idea that pelle made some evil plot in order to save his own skin kind of goes against this idea.

it also goes against the idea that the cultists are just doing what they think is "good" or have justification for. sure they killed people, but it was as sacrifices for the world or whatever. pelle straight up murdering three people in order to convince a fourth to come to his commune doesn't seem in line with that. at that point, why not just kidnap homeless people, clearly the cultists have morals and think of themselves as good people just doing their duty.

There were lots of laughs in my showing. And lots of audible reactions to the weaselly shit that Christian said

being long and slow doesn't make the movie bad by default, but you're kidding yourself if you don't think a 2.5 hour movie is long

i don't know that i'd go as far as calling it a dark comedy, more that just some of the stuff was supposed to be weird and unexpected and a bit of that presented itself as being funny. my theater also laughed at stuff like the quilt showing the girl spiking a guy's drink with her vagina blood to make him fall in love with her, but i'd still call that more weird than comedic

As an emotionally unavailable male myself I found Christian to be a refreshing example of representation in film.

I just read those moments as shocking and transgressive. To the point where it sort of felt out of place, especially that tapestry.

Reading one of the interviews, one of the actors points out that Chris morris's jam was an inspiration and I can see that.

not even close. more like elizabeth olsen with down sydrome

>he's the boyfriend in the bear suit

What makes you think he's not the lead girl?

>he's the boyfriend in the bear suit

i wonder what he means by like that. maybe he had a gf he wanted to break up with, but then some tragedy happened to her so he stayed with her for a bit but then was demonized when it didn't work out?

I think Pelle and Ingmar “volunteered” for sacrifice when they took on the job of bringing outsiders, knowing what might happen. Same way the old couple “volunteered” themselves into suicide at age 73 even though they were born into the cult and that was always their destiny- they only pretend like they are making a choice when really following societal etiquette is expected of them so much there’s no other option. I’m pretty sure Pelle made a narrow escape of death, though I’m mostly with you that I don’t think he staged a murder suicide to get there and it’s more like he probably lucked out that Dani fell in his lap. All of his coercing Dani to come along and then to accept the traditions of the community were him acting on a hunch, though, and he lays it on her thick.

Pelle said his parents died in a fire. Were they sacrificed?

Maja was, unironically, hot as fuck.

I think the implication is strong that they were sacrificed. My question is whether they were born cultists or if they had been outsiders who were murdered and had their son stolen.

oh shit i didn't even think about that. the story he told made it sound like he wasn't with the commune when they died but then joined afterwards, i'm guessing that's what he was hoping for with dani.

Yeah, on the mural that's the first shot of the film you can see Pelle sitting in a tree writing stuff while Christian tries to comfort Dani. He's also shown as a "Pied Piper" type of figure, leading the others with an instrument.
>where are all those other May Queens go? We didn't meet any did we?
Good catch.Perhaps Dani is next on the sacrifical chopping block.

>you can see Pelle sitting in a tree writing stuff while Christian tries to comfort Dani

i do not remember this at all, are you memeing me?

Dude got cucked by the entire town and was condemned to death by his gf, he got it much worse

I give it a 7 or 8, probably closer to an 8. Something that's really dumb about other artsy films like this is how contrived the message is that the director tries to convey and fails miserably. The message in this is pretty fucking succinct, universal, and powerful. That one interaction between her and the Swedish guy, after the old couple commits suicide, conveys the idea that the rest of the film (including the sex scene, which people laughed at because they're fucking 12 and didn't realize "why" it showed that) is based on. America has lost its sense of community, down to the fucking familial level. The main character is clearly in dire need of help and support, and the response of the boyfriend's clique is to imply that she's somehow inhibiting his fucking grad studies more than their CONSTANT partying and drug abuse. Even the boyfriend, who's been in a relationship with this girl for 4 years, acts like he's just completely fed up with dealing with her instead of pursuing his other oh-so-productive uses of his time. When she has a complete fucking breakdown because the suicide was not only horrific, but reminded her of her sister's own murder-suicide, the only thing he does when she needs comforting is moralize to her about cultural differences. The only main character that shows her a shred of empathy is the Swedish guy, and he points out the difference between the two of them. He lost his family too, but the commune was there to HELP him, and he asked her if she was feeling helped by Chad Dickweed.
The traditions we're shown revolve around this theme of the commune using its collective wisdom, strength, and experience to HELP its individuals. During the sex scene, the father helps Dickweed by offering him some kind of medicine to prep him, the naked females help Maja by doing this embarrassing and scary thing with her, going as far as singing so she won't feel weird about making noise.

(cont)
The old woman putting her hands on his butt was just because the point was breeding and they didn't want him pulling out. They even cry with Danni after she finds out what they were doing with her boyfriend.

In America it's "Oh, your sister murdered your parents and killed herself....I can give you a number for my therapist. She's super cheap." And so, people who really, REALLY need fucking help in this country will usually end up looking for it from all the wrong people. Gangs, cults, drug houses. Joining these psychopathic killers and giving her unfaithful boyfriend to them was the only out left for Danni.

It's the painting at the beginning of the movie, user. It tells you the entire plot

Here. The Swede had nothing to do with the family's murder-suicide but saw it as a perfect opportunity to add a vulnerable woman to the group. She wouldn't have gone if he hadn't set her off emotionally with the living room discussion.

No, they wanted him to hurry up and cum since it was taking too long and he needed to be put in the bear skin soon.

The commune seemed pretty comfy desu, especially with the trippy visuals

I'm waiting on the superior 1XBET rip

I really enjoyed it.
Aside from the obvious similarities to Hereditary, did anyone else get a big Eyes Wide Shut vibe from it?
>both movies deal with relationship issues
>secret societies
>ritual sex acts
>secret societies are fiercely protective of privacy

interesting perspective, i hadn't thought of that

did you even watch it? it felt more like a positive message for nordic paganism than what you and /pol/tards have been claiming.

you do know Nordic paganism revered females, right?!? its not at all like modern feminism but females were held in high regard because they continued the people (by the ability to give birth, obviously).

The 90 years thing was almost definitely a lie, how else would they have photos of multiple May Queens?

Weird that death is wearing boots in that first panel.

>this movie is feminist propaganda
>this movie is anti-white propaganda
>this movie is about us needing to return to our traditional values

well which is it

i get that it doesn't make sense that they'd have more than one pic if it was only every 90 years, but why on earth would they lie about that

>"We need you to bless the crops"
>Proceed to dump all their seeds in one hole topped with bear organs and a single cracked egg
I enjoyed it but this seems like the prequel to a movie that doesn't and will never exist. I also want to know about "the black one" they dance in defiance of

They might select a May Queen every year but only make 9 sacrifices and do the thing with the bear every 90 years.

Midsummer does come every single year whether you celebrate it or not, after all.

That wasn’t all their seeds, that was just a small bagfull. They’ll need a lot more seeds than that if they’re trying to yield enough crops to feed that whole village. The seeds used in that ritual were only symbolic.

I mean, I actually laid out reasons for why it's the third.

it's kind of like hereditary that way. i really like not having all of the answers in that way, makes it feel more real that we didn't get answers to every possible question we may have had

Doesn't really work. Movies like The Thing make you wonder which decisions are driven by insanity and which are actually rational decisions that are just difficult to make.

The decision here is 'Kill my bf for kinda being a dick to me' or 'kill a nutty cultist' or 'hightail it the fuck out of here and break up with my bf later'.

Killing someone for being kind of a dick isn't rational, therefore, she was just crazy. Thus, the ending didn't work and isn't deep or meaningful.

Did a woman write this?

I'm talking about execution.
Everyone in the theater was DEAD QUIET and wide-eyed. The phone rings again, and you think "oh, more dumb bitch drama", and then you hear her sobbing incoherently and you think "oh lord..."
Then the bassoon or whatever the fuck that was kicks in.

how could anyone possibly see that ending with a drugged up jilted lover being manipulated by a cult into sentencing her bf to death and think "this is a win for feminism"

if anything she comes off as weak and petty for doing that

oh yeah that's definitely true. i even remember thinking at the beginning "how the fuck are these people sleeping through that loud telephone ringing". then five minutes later we get our answer, very well done.

There wasn't any doubt throughout the thing that she's unbalanced.
The meaning of the ending is that the cult helped her and commiserated with her more than her own boyfriend, so she chose the cult.

It's an effective horror movie (makes one uncomfortable, afraid more than once) so imo it's a good movie and anyone who claims otherwise needs to watch more movies.

eh i didn't even feel like that was meant to be some epic twist. it felt obvious to me she'd pick him to die, i'd have been pissed if they'd copped out. sure, it's not rational to murder your bf for cheating on you, but they're in a pretty irrational situation to start

Holy shit, you are seriously a next-level brainlet if that was your take-away from this film. You're probably the type of person that thought 'It Follows' was about STDs and degeneracy.

You know you have to be 18 to post here right?

The movie is about a breakup, not about why you're lonely and don't get invited to parties, incel

Even if the boyfriend wasn't sacrificed I'm pretty sure he would've still been paralyzed and mute. That shit was a mercy killing

i wandered about that as well, seemed pretty fucked regardless

everyone everywhere had revered women you fucking tard, they literally create people

Really excellent analysis.
Yes, I agree, but I think that we are intended to be drawn to the community, yet also horrified by their horrific actions (and then at Dani, and possibly ourselves, for liking them anyway.)

>projecting this hard
I'm not lonely, I have good friends, a job, and frequent a nice little bar downtown.

I really didn't have any help, after my brother got his stupid ass killed, though, and I know a lot of people that had to carry those burdens on their own. Hell, the church I'd been in since I was a fucking child seemed ecstatic almost. "Dingdong the sinner's dead!" Their response to tears was always "LOOK HOW BAD JOB HAD IT!"

I know he didn't have any help either. Just a family of weak people that can't do anything for each other. I had to leave. I did get help with that.

I guess that's why the way the American boys treat her sticks out to me as particularly horrible.

I mean, the guy who pissed on the juju tree was REALLY easy to hate. I love that they put the little retard cap on his scarecrow.

Someone actually watched the movie. If anything I think the film tries to make the viewer more sympathetic toward the pagans. The obvious comparison is The Wicker Man, which made both the Christians and the Pagans look like overzealous morons.

I koved it. Slow as hell but masterfully shot. The lighting with the flashing police lights was quite haunting.

Also grampa should have jumped better, what a scrub.

Yeah the movie is pretty obviously about community and its importance. Whole theatre was howling during the sex scene i could not understand it. Did they not get why the entire commune expresses every major event communally? Why they all experience the fire at the end together, happiness together etc. I thought it was pretty fucking obvious and as a result of personal biases i ended up loving the pagans didn't even find what they were doing "horrible"

Why did the black friend and the white non-Swedish friend look so similar?
This distracted me from the very first scene they were in.

Oh wait most of you guys let culture war shit rot your brains to the point where you cant enjoy good films, I had forgotten.

I think he saw what happened to the old lady and wanted to look a little prettier on the pyre.

I just watched Hereditary today. Horror is such a pleb genre, I don't care how well shot it is.

The nerd and the turd.

t. Pleb

But look at their brows & jaws! What the hell?

it truly is, but not because of either hereditary or midsommar

Say that online and not to my face and see what happens

Looked really nice.
Boring as shit
Stupid characters.
So fucking boring.
So fucking long.
The thing just meanders around.

Just saw it today. Really liked it and Ari has become one of my favorite current directors. Honestly, it was less of a horror/thriller film for me than an art piece. The cinematography was so top notch that it propelled me through the movie as the death quickly became normalized and artistic. The end scene of the bodies being placed in the barn to be burned was more macabre art than disturbing.

she was on hallucinogens during that scene, obviously she wasnt in a 100% state of mind.
She had a psychotic break when she saw him engaged in the sex ritual and she even shows remorse when she decides to sacrifice him.
As Pelle explained, having a family is key to feeling accepted, and at the end of the film she decides to become part of the cult's family.

Its fine but not as good as Hereditary.

Also its more of slasher/thriller than a horror movie.

did t he yellow triangle temple remind you of the houses of the holy too?

Oh look, another hollyjew movie that decries traditional white culture as evil and murderous. No cultural programming here goy.

>not holding out for the aXXo

pleb

>A24
>Hollyjew
go back to plebbit plsssss

heh, my connection to 'houses of the holy' is the Led Zeppelin album, so no. I'm pretty sure Pelle named the building at one point (when telling them not to enter) but I can't recall.

>SHE WAS A DICK FOR KILLING HER SHITTY BF
as opposed to what, killing the random cult guy?

How fucking lucky was that guy by the way, I bet he was like "fuck yes Im so glad she and her bf broke up"

>its a slasher
Are you fucking high

t.based retard who didnt watch the movie

A24 is a Jewish production company literally look it up

oh sorry, i meant to say The Holy Mountain by Alejandro Jodorowsky

I found it enjoyable in spite of this. This movie is a pleb filter on both anti-white and pro-ethnostate levels.

she literally did nothing wrong. her bf was an asshole the entire movie, especially with throwing his friend and colleague under the bus.
she finally felt accepted.

brainlets

Yeah he was a huge cunt. I've met dudes like him in school who just want to leech off your work. That scene with him and the black guy was infuriating, dude was fake and manipulative as shit.

They distribute films.

yeah i had no sympathy for him the entire movie. Pelle is starting to feel more of a good guy the more i think of it.
He was certainly manipulative, but he truly though she deserved to be accepted into his family.
Also his parents definitely died in a previous fire sacrifice.

You're a very stupid person.

Thats the irony, isnt it? The cult genuinely seemed to accept her while the bf and his shitty friends were lying and didnt give a fuck about her. The black dude couldnt even be assed to fill her in on what the death ceremony was about despite her family just dying. They were completely self absorbed and viewed her grief as a burden or something to be bottled up.

Really interesting film. I can see it getting hate for its slow pacing but man, it had some gripping scenes.

I wonder what we were meant to think of the dude screaming in pain at the end after getting the stuff that was supposed to make him numb. Was it that the traditions were essentially empty and that for all their fluff, they were just murderers?

>those creepy bug eyes

They are a production company and have produced films. Literally look it up

>Was it that the traditions were essentially empty
That was my general takeaway. They have all these old traditions and rituals, but at the end of the day they're just a bunch of psychos reading out of their retard bible and killing people in the woods and doing drugs 24/7. Felt the same when the 2 old people sudoko'd off the cliff. The first one falls face first and gets brutally fucking brained on a rock, then the second guy seems kinda apprehensive which causes him to fall wrong and fuck up his legs. Then he just lays there in complete helpless shock and panic as they bash his skull to pieces.
It's like they're all ready to sacrifice themselves/others, but as soon as it's happening they sober up to reality and realize that, as it turns out, death is fucking scary.

wouldn't you classify friday the 13th or halloween as horror movies? i tend to think of slasher/thriller as a subgenre of horror but maybe i'm wrong

They didn't produce Midsommar though, so what is your fucking point, mongoloid?
>yeah but they um uh a jewish guy works there
Take your fucking meds

based torbjor or whatever his name was looked like he would have been totally cool with dying for the cause, the lad could not give less of a fuck

The founders are Jewish.

>I wonder what we were meant to think of the dude screaming in pain at the end after getting the stuff that was supposed to make him numb.

That really stood out to me as well. It kind of breaks the facade of the cult such that the elders must know what is ‘really’ going on (as opposed to being true believers). However I don’t really understand the purpose of that since they clearly have drugs that could dull the pain.

You're autistic.

>You're probably the type of person that thought 'It Follows' was about STDs and degeneracy.
What was it about then?

if it had just been the stuff with the girlfriend, i'd feel bad for the guy. she seemed high maintenance and he was in a pretty awkward position with wanting to break up but her family suddenly dying.

the stuff with him suddenly wanting to steal the black guy's project and then TOTALLY throwing him under the bus when the cult coloring book shows up missing destroyed any sympathy i had for him

Did anyone else love the setting and premise of Midsommar, but was eventually let down by the execution? I loved Hereditary so I was on bored with whatever MS had to give, but it wasn't all that much in the end.

Reminded me of the original Wicker Man, so I liked it. There was a lot left unexplored and I didn't really like any of the characters though...

Was the book actually missing though? Who could have taken it?

>The black dude couldnt even be assed to fill her in on what the death ceremony was about

i didn't really get that bit. before the ceremony he clearly seemed to know what they were going to see and was excited, but after he seemed just as horrified as everyone else like he didn't see it coming

Looks like the kid from kingsman genderbent

He didnt seem that bothered by it

I though the fire scene confirmed that the yew to protect from pain and fear did absolutely nothing

yeah exarctly. at the beginning before her family's death i somewhat sympathized with him but after that he just became a dick who was just with her to eventually break up with her until she was more stable.
i relate more to her than him because i've experienced similar loss and suicidal attempts.
the way the movie expressed grief and also bad trips was spot on.

it wasn't missing, some of the cultist "stole" it as a way to manipulate and frame the remaining guests as precedent to conduct their final rituals.

The sex scene was not funny to me personally

Ehhh even then they made it clear that he had wanted to break up with her for a year. Dude was just a bum who wanted easy pussy.

no true, not everyone has the same reactions to substances. the other person didn't cry out, confirming that igmar was simply not adequately dosed.

He’s the lead girl bro, he said the burning of the temple was meant to be therapeutic like the burning of an Ex’s belongings
I actually think the cult were the good guys in the movie

I figured they said that just to make Dani and discount Chris Pratt think their friends had legit taken it.

Not sure how they would have explained the leg planted in the soil.

I think he thought that they would go through the motions of sacrifice but not actually perform it.

Right, so if the elders know (which I assume they do) then why 1) not give stronger drugs or 2) not give anything at all. By misleading it makes it appear that the elders are conscious that they are running a cult which is far less unsettling than the entire family believing in the scribblings of a disabled person.

>I wonder what we were meant to think of the dude screaming in pain at the end

I guess it's just a reminder that this isn't like Hereditary, there isn't actually some occult god who gives these people magical powers, its all just bs. that said, i still like the interpretation of the film that the cult = tight knit community = good while modern culture = bad

I don’t think so, The Swedish guy seems to be interested in her as a love interest, he see’s her as someone who “belongs” to the commune, who will be helped by it. He might be manipulative, but there are far to many variables even for his intuition to be able to calculate by killing the two parents. He wouldn't have possible been able to know the outcome without some level of omniscients

Misspelled shit just reeks of Chinese knockoff of some kind. Not at all interested. sage

I think everyone but the elder interpreter actually believes this shit desu. I'm actually liking the unintentionally underdosing theory now that I think about it.

friendly reminder the majority of the cult, especially the women, were high out of their minds during the majority of the film.
they used hallucinogens as a means of psychological conditioning, a-la MKULTRA.

no, and it was actually smart thinking. the people were already on edge and asking questions about the couple leaving separately and the screams. it would have really stretched my suspension of disbelief if the two friends disappeared as well and the MC and bf didn't immediately turn tail and run.

by having the cult kind of set up the friends instead, it kind of puts the shoe on the other foot. now the outsiders are having to answer for their friends rather than the cult being on the defensive. one of the smarter moments of the film IMO, since one of the big problems i have with a lot of horror films is that anyone with common sense would get the fuck out of a situation once their friends start disappearing, but here they give a good explanation.

kind of implied she didn't really put out, so again, he had my sympathy at the beginning even more so

My favorite detail was Dany wearing mom shorts. It's such a dumb detail but it's definitely indicative of someone that is ridiculously comfortable with the way things are and not really trying for sex appeal

Why are people defending the complete shitbag of a boyfriend? He clearly didnt care for Dani the entire time, didnt even want her going because it would interrupt his drug and voyeur fantasy of witnessing something "weird" for his thesis. he even threw his own friends under the bus immediately and didnt care at all about their disappearance, probably worried about his thesis. this is exactly why he was put in the bear and sacrificed. his entire character was completely antithetical to the pagan cult.

Those are hot as fuck though.

Nice digits but it makes me very happy that you're unable to enjoy anything. Have fun with your shitty life

high test detected

because they are projecting. simple as that.

Some of the negative user reviews on RT are blowing my mind. People are saying the first 30 minutes of the film are a waste of time.

I felt bad for him for all of ten minutes because I definitely wanted to break up with someone right before something awful happened to her but no, he's an absolute cunt.

No doubt but in my experience if my ex girlfriend was wearing them, she was probably not down to put out. With workout clothing or "dress" gowns she was. It's ironic or some kind of pavlovian shit but whenever she had those fucking mom shorts on I wanted her the most and when she dressed sexy I was only marginally excited. Sage for blogpost.

Well her whole family did die horrifically recently and she was depressed as fuck so... you're a Christian type, huh?

I really expected this thread to be political shitposting but there is actually some good analysis and discussion going on. My faith in Yea Forums in being more than a board for capeshit and star wars has been slightly restored

I like that Dani clearly knew something was up and her bf was too up his own ass to listen to her.

Poor whatsherface though, getting murdered in the woods.

How is pointing out that you missed an obvious point triggered? This thread is for discussing the movie faget

I love reading normie RT user reviews for films like this. They're always full of boomers who act like they've never seen anything more cerebral than a toy commercial before and are quick to dismiss the movie as "boring and mean spirited and evil" and all sorts of shit. There was a TON of pissed off boomers and single moms that left scathing reviews of The Favourite, as they thought it was just going to be some light hearted Historical drama/comedy.

I just watched this in at the cinema and would like all of my money and time back. I saw one user call it a pleb detector and I totally understand what that means now.

Imagine not wanting to stay with and breed this thicc goddess.

You dumb motherfucker

You should've just walked out. A few people in my theatre did.

I hate boomers so fucking much
there was one behind me during the screening who would not shut the fuck up and was commenting about how bad the movie was throughout it. In the middle his old people innards starting malfunctioning and he was farting and shitting himself while waddling out of the theatre. Fuck boomers, they're a blight on everything they're in proximity to.

Yeah Im detecting a big pleb and its you, friend.

I live in bumfuck Georgia and couldn't believe my theater even got it. Went to the 6:00 and a good dozen people were there with me

Maybe I’m desensitized or Hereditary set too high a bar. Maybe I wasn’t invested in the characters. But it wasn’t disturbing at all and the insignificance of the characters lessened the depravity of the townsfolk. The thinness of the supporting characters wore thin and I was nearly cheering for them to be put away. The director’s attempt to capture “raw” reactions to the villagers’ arcane rites came off as unintentionally comedic which also took away from the malfeasance. The genuine jovial nature of the villagers and boneheaded stupidity of the guests made them almost more sympathetic.

I almost expected one of them to admit they knew what was going on and being granted leave if they just came out and admitted the rest of the guests were as stupid as the audience clearly saw they were. The Invitation, The VVitch, The Endless, and Wicker Man (original) are all better films containing similar themes. It didn’t live up to its predecessor.

The score was the highlight of the film.

She was thicc

It immediately reminded me of Mandy so I thought the same thing

I remember her too. She didn't have a backpack and Pelle explained they were other 18-36 year olds returning home from their time in the outside world.

I mostly just couldn't stand the aesthetic of the main girl. Got that
>I'm overweight but still think I'm hot shit, so I'll just wear baggy stuff
look.
I know, I know. Pointy elbows, would not bang, etc...

I think the problem with the movie was there were too many subplot characters like the college friends. There should have been some mindfucking afoot that affected the relationship of Dani and Christian

I was honestly shocked nobody walked out of my screening. I went opening night at a pretty small theater, but it was packed. When the movie started the room was dead silent, and I thought I hit the kino audience jackpot, then about 40 min in you could tell the movie was losing some people and I started hearing random murmurs and people giggling at completely inappropriate times. During the May queen dance I honestly expected at least 1 person to just storm out but somehow everyone stayed until the end.

Dude she was probably just throwing on whatever because she was depressed.

Exactly the same at my theater. I went in with an open mind but I think if I saw it alone it would have been a better experience

Packed theater. Pretty quiet except for some laughs when the fat chick started pushing Christian's ass.

youtu.be/uQMHGIsO8Ug

Better

I've got to agree, except about The Invitation being better

>ritual sex acts
Bedding rituals were common in medieval Europe, but they weren't done in the culty way shown in the movie.

It's interesting how the cult embodies a lot of the most backwards and harsh practices found throughout pre-Renaissance Europe, but also a lot of hippy-dippy new age stuff

The temple burn is inspired by Burning Man (minus the actual human/bear sacrifice)

Will Poulter being high off his mind sent the audience into a laughing fit and he kept getting giggles with all his comments. Three teenage girls walked out with one of them hyperventilating once the older man jumped the cliff, though.

^ I should say, along with bonfire traditions/Caesar's account of wicker man burning rituals among the Druids

Those head explosions looked amazing. Top tier props.

I thought this was going to be a thinking persons horror movie but instead it was just a slow stupid fucking movie. It's not unsettling or suspenseful it's just poor acting and unintentional comedy.

It was also too predictable. There were no real twists and I didn't end up hating the pagans because the film didnt do a good job of making the guests sympathetic.

>The thinness of the supporting characters wore thin

remember to always proofread your effort posts

agree with you completely about the characters though. i thought for sure that guy from bandersnatch would have a bigger role since he's the one person in this movie who has been in stuff i'd seen before, but nope, he's basically just as irrelevant as the couple from london. he wasn't even around for the suicide fall, what the fuck

>spoils the whole movie in the first three seconds

BRAVO

my audience never really settled down after the sex scene, constant giggling and chatter from then onwards. really killed the ending for me

I was hoping for a Refn like horror movie instead it was some shrooms and a musical orgy performed under the watchful eye of their finest inbred.

Very common. And yes they were almost as culty back then. The whole canopy bed was so that the couple could have sex while the others waited in the room.

Consummation of the marriage was mandatory, at least on the wedding night. Also, the parents would be waiting for the bedsheets to prove that the woman was a virgin.

The twist was that the pagans were sympathetic

Probably just a temporary effect of the dust he got a face full of. Unless they did something surgical to his spine while he was unconscious. They definitely have the medical expertise

Why did they show the suicides so graphically but then puss out showing on all the unsympathetic murricans I actually wanted to see be killed?

I wouldn't go that far. They were emotionally supportive of eachother, but they were still murdering random outsiders that they purposely lure to their village. You could also argue the morality of practically being forced to kill yourself after you turn 72.

except for all the lying, gruesome murder, and human sacrifice

what exactly did the people do that you thought was so stupid? i'd say the only decision that nearly broke my suspension of disbelief was the bf drinking that stuff offered to him while he watched the dance. he knew by that point that they'd been giving him stuff from that girl's vagina, he clearly was thinking about not drinking it, but then just did it anyway for no reason. other than that, what was so stupid?

What would be the point of that?

He did it because he wanted to fuck Maya

i think part of this was just wanting to string you along into thinking "maybe they're ok and just in cult prison". that made seeing their mutilated bodies later more jarring

the comic relief pissing on the tree instead of going to the bathroom and the black guy deciding to take pictures after being told not to

Because the gore was well done in this movie and a lot of time was wasted anyway.

He probably just thought that he'd get his dick wet and eventually be set free. He had no way of knowing that they were going to do that whole weird ritual around it and that he'd get paralyzed then burned to death.

Finally someone made a stupid horror movie for people that think they are smart. Bravo Ari Aster.

What was dumb about the guy pissing on the tree? He was a retard.

I actually don’t think he deserved to die at all even if he was a shitbag but that’s kind of the point of horror movies. No one deserves to die in the movie, that’s kind of the fucking point. The only people who are pissed either identify with the boyfriend or are too retarded to realize it’s a slasher film.

I think that's kinda the worst part about the whole thing.
A bunch of homicidal maniacs are in a better place mentally and emotionally than modern civilized people.

the tree pissing thing was stupid but ultimately didn't matter, just an excuse to kill that guy off. the black guy obviously wanted pics for his thesis and didn't think these dumb villagers would catch him.

sure both of these things are kind of dumb still, but there's enough room for explanation/excuses that they certainly didn't break my suspension of disbelief
