Fun fact: The words they were saying at the end weren’t words, it was just random gibberish, yet they both understood each other. Dani even says “We don’t need words to talk, it’s dancing!” meaning that they’re talking through dancing

[@AkimboJV]

Acid shit

[@XjoeyO]

I came here just for that scene. This has happened to me before while tripping. Speaking gibberish but we understood each other. Wildest thing.

[@Checappero]

OMG IS IT REALLY POSSIBLE?

[@XjoeyO]

@@Checappero it was like another level of understanding. i was with a girl and we were doing this and we both just started crying. Wildest shit ive ever experienced.

[@cryptidnip]

Honestly the dance challenge seems super fun

[@masokotanga7356]

[@protalghulnist4126]

Idk dancing until you pass out from exhaustion doesn't sound like much fun to me

[@darrenfreyauthor]

the way she is laughing and speaking in gibberish with the other two girls at the end is so cute and sweet.

[@schleepy6362]

Lmao it sucks to admit it but this cult would swipe me up so fast. As someone who's friendless, touch-starved, loves flowery aesthetics, and always wanted to be good at dancing, this scene right here makes me wish I were Dani. And that's a really, REALLY scary thing to realize. If I were given everything I ever wanted, would I actually be able to accept the brutal murders of others in exchange? Jeez Ari Aster you gotta cool it with the existential dread.

[@eeeeyuke]

My wife liked this movie, but won't watch it again. I think it has to do with her susceptibility.

[@martakostin2193]

This is also the exact same experience I got from the movie. It doesn't help I watched it during actual midsommar (not intentional) during my 18th birthday, a few days before leaving my whole old life behind, moving to a new country and starting from blank

[@arianebolt1575]

Besides, they won't be committing the sacrifices again in Dani's lifespan, so she can join in with a clear conscience.

[@Ms.Robot.]

Letting your inhibitions go and at the same time being accepted is an innermost human desire.❤

[@zelbayanym]

I would too knowingly join this cult😭 I think i want this sense of community and like having one path in life I realized it was a CULT only few hours after watching movie and reflecting on it lmao

[@momoneymoproblemz]

My favorite part is where it’s start spinning so fast she’s losing her self and then it all comes back together and she reforms. It felt like watching someone experience ego death. I was high as fuck watching that scene and it was so intense. I’m certain who ever made it was heavy into psychedelics

[@GreyJedi73]

Yeah, and you could here her breath during the spinning. Like that was the only constant in the change.

[@Jbull334]

Oh totally. Thats exactly what i thought when watching the entire film. It was like bad mushroom trip. The director indeed was heavily influenced by psychedelics.

[@seasonsofus]

That’s my favorite part of the whole movie. I was high watching that scene, and it made me cry because I definitely felt what she was feeling. Very euphoric. Nobody ever talks about that specific part of the scene, and I’m just amazed as to why nobody gives the scene it’s 10s. The most beautiful scene that I’ve ever seen and it’s in a horror movie, it’s wild. I think about it often

please don't take the cult thingy literally in this film, it's a metaphor for family, a sense of belonging which are the thematic subtexts of the film (in addition to trauma and abusive relationship). you can see it the way she is finally being truly welcomed, held and loved by the cult members, also, Dani's dead parents are literally in the crowd, congratulating her once she becomes May queen, which is a further emphasis on said subtext.

[@maximum9869]

midsommar is a real thing we celebrate it in June

[@spiceupyourafterlife]

I love that this is the first scene in the movie where Dani really smiles. Before this scene, she would smile, but very weakly and only to be polite. This is the first time in the movie where she actually smiles out of joy.

[@Spiral6666]

Dude the song It's majestic

[@martinenyx-filmstuff305]

Such a hypnotic scene

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

And hypnotized through a dancing ritual with psychedelic drug intake and a feeling to belong. I feel like they hypnotized me

[@wobwobwubwub]

I just noticed that the background and trees in the first shot are all moving! I swear I've seen this movie so, so many times and still pick up new details every time I re-watch

[@elyastoohey6621]

I don’t regard this movie as a masterpiece, there are a few flaws. Just a few minor flaws that detract from it. But the cinematography and editing is amazing. Aside from some of the shots of the tree lines, the spacing Aster uses, and the panning is incredible. The two best scenes, which are also the beginning and ends of the story, are the scene in the meadow, right before the shrooms trip. So much information is communicated right there, and it sets up the rest of the story. The maypole is really the end of the movie. Notice it’s the first time in the film Dani smiles. This is the moment Dani goes from the toxic outsiders cult, (Christian, mark, and josh) to being with the empathetic, (albeit murderous) Hagra cult. This moment is the climax of the film. You’ve gone from seeing Dani as this almost bullied outsider, and remember those 3 are treating somebody who just lost everything so horribly, to this accepted happy member of a family. You’ve now seen the real story. Everything before the meadows scene was foreplay. Everything after the dance scene is the after sex glow, and some post coital cuddling. I also love how Dani picks the yellow flowers for Christian. The colour yellow often foreshadowing who is going to die in this film.

Dude, I was literally just thinking this. I'm pretty sure it was agreed that Dani would be the winner.

[@sarfarazahmed2662]

Yes absolutely

[@morbidlyobeserobocop3038]

Probably not. As manipulative as cults can be, they probably felt some kind of 'essence' within her. She was being manipulated by their friend from this coven the whole movie and I think this scene just encapsulates what she always had within her. The dance brought out her inner 'demon'. How else could she speak the language?

[@kd_479]

If you look closely towards the end the two other girls bumped each other on purpose

[@d.laveyyy]

@@morbidlyobeserobocop3038 she wasnt actually speaking swedish (at least thats what most swedish speakers are saying), they were all tripping balls and ended up syncing or something so they could understand eachothers gibberish. this can happen during intense shared trips especially since she was being groomed into integrating with the cult which basically operates on a hive mind. so it WAS representing her being accepted into the cult but it was also just the drugs making them kooky

Aster’s writing is incredible. Notice how they keep stopping the dance until she finally gives in to the euphoria, and when she starts to get concerned about Christian, it immediately starts again. These people genuinely care for her, and she finally feels held (literally, in the dance)

[@momoneymoproblemz]

Yes that’s what cults do. They make you feel good and like their you’re new family. It’s still emotional manipulation, their hugs make her feel held. She’s vulnerable! They’re her new family now

[@clau4kaulitz]

@@zoe_ward Actually JC is right, but he's talking the "real world" thing. But both are right! This scene clearly feels like they embrace her like a family and I really felt happy for Danny that she finally smiled and enjoyed herself. At the same time, if we land to Earth, cults do that. It hurts, but even people who escaped cults can assure you that this is how it works. It's up to us if we take it literally or we take it as a metaphor, Both are alright :)

[@imbroke1992]

@@zoe_wardit isn’t meant to be taken metaphorically, and even if it is, then it still doesn’t make sense. The cult kills people and tries to force Dani to do things she isn’t ready for (like drugging her, trying to forcefully feed her, making her watch people literally kill themselves after her family’s death). It’s no secret that the cult is evil in the film. But they are not supposed to be found family. It is just Dani trading one toxic relationship for something worse under the guise of care. If we were to take the cult metaphorically, it still represents an emotionally vulnerable person latching onto toxicity for comfort - almost like a drug. The cult turns Dani into something worse through its influence while giving her the impression of comfort. This is NOT an empowering movie.

[@nicolebell5556]

​@@zoe_wardDani's parents aren't smiling. The Harga are just as abusive as Christian was, but in a different way. She can't leave, has nobody remaining to tell her they aren't safe, and Pelle specifically brought her intending for Dani to be the only one to survive. It's not a fairytale. That's the point of the movie.

[@tolkiensunknowngrandchild3767]

2:36 As a Swede, I can literally understand parts of what the leader is saying. For example, right here I hear the phrase "Nu är det bara åtta kvar", which translates to "now there's only eight left".

[@masokotanga7356]

I just realized when Christian goes to Siev or Siebs house when he's staring at the bear on the wall; he is sitting in the same exact way as the bear on Danis wall near beginning. I'm pretty sure the poster is of Artemis.

It was just gibberish, but the implication is that not only was Dani having fun and smiling for the first time in the movie, but they could communicate without proper language, via tone and body language. They were communicating joy. At the same time you have Christian, the only one left dressed differently, hunched over (whilst everyone has these beautiful lotus meditative poses) looking miserable. Of course, Christian can’t communicate. That’s christians fatal flaw. Mark is a loser poon hound. Josh is a pseudo intellectual looking for fame. Christian can’t communicate. They all die because of their flaws.
