This is the Midsommar breakdown that KZbin was missing! I watched it for the first time last month for a spooky spring vlog and was so astonished by how people give other people shit for enjoying the ending as a “happy ending” I know is morally corrupt as if by extension I’m a bad person?

Yes please to the Hereditary deep dive! I adored Midsommar (and your deep dive is very interesting, thank you for sharing), but nothing haunted me after the fact quite like Hereditary. I recently witnessed a parent losing their child suddenly and unexpectedly and Toni Collette deserves all the awards for accuracy right down to the screaming in her husband's arms over the loss. I don't understand how Ari Aster was so aptly able to channel that pain and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

Great deep dive as always! I have to say that I'm currently a bit on the fence on the topic of whether this should be seen as a "good for her" movie or not, though you made some good points that made me think about it for a second time. I'm still leaning more towards the interpretation that Dani is also a victim of the Hårga in her own way and that her ending is not a happy one, but I can see how the ending is also symbolically about the catharsis of ending a toxic relationship, and that it's not meant to be taken literally. I don't see it as a "good for her" ending, but I also don't see her as the villain or a bad person in the end either. I also think there is a deep problem with media literacy if people are really pointing at the ending and saying that "the movie is bad because it teaches bad morals." I think the ending being immoral for basically everyone involved is one of the reasons it is such a great movie. Also the fact that there are so many interpretations of the entire movie and its ending specifically also speak to why it's such a great movie (even if some of those interpretations are not as good as others). One of the things I've also noticed that could be tied to the media literacy thing is that there seems to be (at least in certain corners of the internet, mostly on Reddit from what I've seen) a backlash against the movie from the pagan community, either because it's a factually incorrect representation of paganism or because it represents pagans as villains. And as a Nordic pagan myself even though I enjoy watching films like Midsommar, The Wicker Man and The Ritual where pagans are the villains, I also kind of get it because paganism has a stigma with racism and white supremacy and some pagans are therefore extremely vigilant about anything that associates paganism with white supremacy or just general villainy, but I've also seen some really bad takes on this. Like one commet I saw described the movie as "villainizing communal rural life and portraying it as bad and portraying modern urban American lifestyle as good" and I'm just like... did we even watch the same movie? Like you said in your deep dive the movie is also about dismantling American white male privilege and portrays the Americans as arrogant assholes who literally piss on other cultures. So yeah, there is indeed a problem with media literacy, and this film is a great example of it. Also I just have to quote my friend who after watching this just said that "the most unrealistic thing about this movie wasn't that there is an isolated murderous cult in rural Sweden. The most unrealistic thing was that they were pagans. Realistically they would have been Pentecostals or Laestadians."

@@HauntedHippie Well, it's not really a criticism that even I have come across in any reviews or articles online, so I'm not surprised that you didn't come across it either. I've pretty much only seen it on pagan-related subreddits, so its a pretty niche criticism. However it's not a new criticism, I have seen something like that being expressed before online about films like The Wicker Man, and I think it's a theme that deserves to be explored in more detail.

I feel like Hereditary and Midsommar are two sides of the same coin. Where one is about the making of a queen, the other the making of a king. One is very dark where the other is all daylight. Both are about the deconstruction of a family at the hands of a cult; an exploration of grief. I cant love one without loving the other. They feel like fraternal twins.

The customs and beliefs of the group is wild. When your not use to it. The girl that picked Christian. To be her baby daddy. Is strange in her own right. At the end she was crazy. Dancing during the fire. Shouldn't a woman be careful. If she is pregnant or thinking their pregnant. One of the guys couldn't handle the sun being up at midnight. When it is normal in some places.I love your Midsommor outfit. I guess the upcoming new year. Dani will pick a man to have a baby with.

just saw the DC in imax✨✨ i’ve only seen the theatrical and it’s one of my favorite films, this version was fun but not definitive for me. some of the extras in the front part like the argument and the extended part of the drive was interesting. the lake scene is mixed for me because i feel like even though dani stays because she doesn’t want to be without christian, her argument makes it a little harder to believe her going along with the rest of the rituals to me. I think the point of the scene that i enjoyed was it was the first time the cult mirrored dani. i liked seeing josh have a bit of personality in his fight. the thing with christian talking to the elder is that it makes it less ambiguous what he does but he’s still drugged heavily and while i think he’s more willing it’s still complicated as ari likes to be. also there’s that one scene where dani and christian kiss and agree to not fight, i liked that addition as it makes their relationship feel less one note, the whole cut really helped with that and when they are separated i feel it more. there’s so many complications with them in this version that made the ending better imo. at the end of the day i think the TC is better, some things are more ambiguous, some cuts were more poignant and i think the pacing flowed better, but god i love this film more each time i see it

I think it is because it makes it feel like it is sunny all the time, adding to the chaos. But, the DC does inform Connie’s death by water via the child almost being thrown into the water and saved scene done at night when it is somewhat dark. I missed her in a wheelbarrow at the end. I didn’t know where she was until I counted how many people they planned to sacrifice. The DC makes it more a relationship film than straight horror. It reveals how toxic Christian was to Dani. But the theatrical cut has better flow. I still prefer the DC. It’s long but makes more sense. I wish Connie would have been one of those yelling for them to stop throwing the kid into the water and them asking Connie to sacrifice herself…acting like it is part of the play. I guess this means Connie is probably the most innocent death since she replaces a child unlike the men who are all jerks. Then again she dated one guy then dumped him…but came to the festival with both of them anyway. Awkward!

Christian is gang-raped in the movie in it's canonical form, but I think that's a choice that makes sense and I like the way the scene is done. It is meant to devide the viewer all the more. No matter how much we hate him, he is a victim at least as much as Danie and nobody deserve this. There's also a lot to be asked about whether he is even properly desired by the woman at the center of this group ritual, who looks quite emotionally disconnected, is clearly playing a role, and may well be after status in the cult,as much as any real connection here. I also feel like, I'm alway avoiding films just so I won't have to deal with a director who's skill I don't trust doing a rape scene that's just there to shock and beat up on audiences, as though that makes for a better movie in any genre and these are most often scenes involving women. This feels like a decently sensitive handling of what male rape might look like, which we usually don't think about in any cinematic context. It's neither trying to be fun to watch, nor shock optimally and create unnecessary trauma. I may be desensitized to some horror by now, but that'swhat I think. An abusive highly matriarchal cult does seem like one rare context where gang rapea individual men of by women could work like this. Sinse the cliche we usually see of cults involves dominant old men suounded by young women who get abused, this is useful to expanding the conversation. I remember at least one documentary that covered a cult where men explained accepted cult practices as sexually abusive to them. Cults are very much a matter of group power against the individual, so this repeat that theme while underscoring that all these foreigners endanger themselves by assuming they can take advantage of a culture other than their own while oblivious to the possibility that it could take advantage of them as much or more.
