Midsommar - FIRST TIME WATCHING. We were NOT READY for this movie!! - Group Reaction

The film Midsommar by Ari Aster is a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish. The same director did the film Hereditary which we also have a movie group reaction of up on the channel. This reaction watch through was hilarious to experience as the movie goes to a lot of dark and emotional, sometimes violent, places.
What did you think of this film starring Florence Pugh? It is excellently shot, the cinematography is off the charts good. All of the scenes depicting hallucinations are visually amazing. Stick around after our reacts to watch our post movie discussion.

I've never seen a movie show the appeal of cults better than this, and a lot of it comes to Florence Pugh's incredibly sympathetic performance (and how well Aster wrote a shitty, gaslighting boyfriend). Or at the very least, you see how it can be enticing and comforting to someone in such a vulnerable, lonely place in life. I loved Hereditary but this was such a step up to me, especially in the directing. And Pugh deserved an Oscar.

Florence Pugh is such a gem, you should watch her in Fighting with my family, too... on the other hand, IMHO the main character of Midsommar is Christian. The inbred community needs new blood to impregnate one of the girls while the May Queen can be anybody who wins the dancing contest. Dani was not even a part of Pelle's plan, her invitation was merely out of mercy to ease her pain. Midsommar is the story of Christian, told from Dani's point of view.

What happens in "that" scene? I don't know if I could stomach this movie a second time 🙈

[@soniaiboyako4023]

@@Chiara_Elena The scene itself is on YT but maybe you'd rather read about it than watch it so here goes (it's gonna get long and i'm sleep deprived): I'm not sure if you want a description of the scene that sets it up so basically it involves the implied endangerment of a child but no actual harm being done, it feels more like a performance than anything but you can never be for sure w these folks and it's still distressing. That scene ends w Dani looking very rattled and Christian smiling, kinda fascinated. Then it's just them two and she tells him all of it feels wrong and they need to leave, he tells her it's only bc they haven't been exposed to that sort of stuff before and they need to get acclimated, she says she doesn't want to get acclimated she wants to *GO* and that's when she learns he's doing his thesis on this so he's not leaving either way. That prompts her to call them "opportunistic anthropology students" and question why they think the cult would trust them w any of what's happening since "they're doing pagan rituals, ppl are jumping off cliffs, they depend on no one knowing about this ever". Anyways then he tells her "i invited you and i don't regret that but i'm here for a reason" when not only did he find that reason like 3 hours ago by copying his friend despite him practically begging him not to, but he also was entirely banking on her *not accepting his invite* in the first place. She asks him if he loves her anymore, says that they've been in the devaluation phase of their relationship for a while and the next step is discard and he asks her to not look at their relationship through a psychology lens. She says "you've been trying to pull away and i've been in denial" to which he says very passive aggressively "please babe give yourself some credit, you've got it all figured out" even though she's literally right. He then says that her gifts to him only remind him that he's not doing enough for her in the relationship and he believes she has ulterior motives with them, especially since she gave him flowers on her birthday after he didn't get her anything. She asks if he's being serious to which he responds "okay fine, play the wounded party, again. you're just a self-denying altruist and i'm a paranoid dick. you don't have a conniving bone in your body". She asks what he thinks she's conniving, apparently he just thinks she is and feels locked into her debt every time she does something just because, he doesn't think it's ever "just because". She says she was being kind and he responds with "okay fine i'm the asshole" which immediately gets a "nobody's the asshole" from her and he says "i clearly am. you selflessly give me flowers and i feel trapped" and he walks away irritated while she's asking him if he's seriously leaving I think a transcription is already enough to get the picture but his actual tone and body language during the scene really drives it home.

[@kino7991]

Just to move the ignorance out of the way, what yall are calling "jazz hands" is actually a pretty common alternative to clapping your hands. It's used a lot in the deaf community or in other situations where clapping isn't appropriate (mostly because the noise can be prejudicial to autistic people or even hinder the public's ability to undertand what is being said by a spokesperson). It helps to create a welcoming and more inclusive environment for everyone. In my country we use it a lot when organizing in protests, or other movements that require gathering and organizing a lot of people in an open space.

[@johnyesjustjohn]

Also, the one time someone claps in the movie, it’s in the face of someone on drugs, who freaks out when it happens. If you’re part of a cult where drug use is traditional, maybe you’d avoid clapping or other things that would startle someone on those drugs.

[@RsDrPowers]

Chris is wigged out by it being light at 9... it's light in the UK until about 10PM at the moment lol :P

[@ashmarquis5061]

Wtf how

[@cents2mp]

are yall ok ?

[@StupidFaceRob]

As someone else from the UK, it really isn't lol We don't get it being THAT light till around 10pm till about July. Right now it's light till around 7pm

[@patrickfoster8335]

Ari Aster wrote this after a bad breakup he had. Thats what inspired it.

[@Itta_Pupu]

"They're gonna sacrifice her" "...what?"

[@azteca06]

and at 11:25, everyone became EXTREMELY uncomfortable and unsure of what they are watching

[@probablytrue4753]

every reaction i’ve watched of midsommar, they always cut out the part where it shows her mom, dad, and sisters dead in their house, is that not allowed to be shown on youtube or something? that’s one of the main parts i want to watch them react to

[@wandanemer2630]

May be it's too horrible.

[@nkzm8166]

I noticed that too. Could definitely be a youtube thing. KZbin is ridiculous with its censorship and flags nowadays.

[@cronjobjalopy3915]

You guys seem like such a good friend group, love the vibes you guys give off!

[@MrProteus616]

Watch the original Wicker Man from the 70s!

[@julesvanoosterom]

Hell yes!

[@m.e.3862]

Better than the remake and has the same creepy vibes as midsommar

[@NotMakada]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Rana is the best Normie reactor.

[@taylenlundequam5700]

I saw this movie in theaters and at the end when Florence was smiling I caught myself smiling along with her.

[@ehipwell21]

Oh my God me too!

[@emillymariany5370]

Who also agrees that the next reaction film has to be Promising Young Woman!

[@CorridorOfMirrorsRemixes]

This movie has nowhere near restored my faith in humanity, but sunk it deeper than the Titanic, HOWEVER, this is one of my favourite horror movies I’ve ever watched in the past decade at least! Absolutely shocking, but so well done!

[@truckstopmedia1662]

It's funny how many women felt glee seeing Christian burn alive, and cooed over the evil, creepy Pelle. "He's so loving! Just what she needs!" lol He was the frigging spider who lured in his own friends for the kill. Smarten up, ladies.

[@JuQui228]

All the may queens are still there more or less. The guy who brings them tells them that Maia was last years may Queen.

[@gigiarmany4332]

Simones fate as the blood eagle hanging there with the lungs still breathing is worst of all for me.😱..haunted me for long time..😵😒

[@naerig.7266]

WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT MOVIE ? EXCUSE ME ? SHE IS INDOCRINATED

[@dafty9159]

I enjoyed this reaction a lot! I love seeing you guys react to my favorite movies, specially when it's horror films lol

[@AngelGroves]

Nahid : "I'm not gonna be okay...." ditto, Nahid...ditto.

[@existenceisrelative]

One point i'd like to make so it doesn't go unsaid: The boyfriend didn't "cheat on her". He was isolated, drugged into a psychotic break, raped, and tortured to death; with his last thoughts being the knowledge that his girlfriend condemned him to that terrible death. The cult having very carefully arranged for her to "discover" them in the middle of using her drugged boyfriend to make children for them. He may have been _THE_ terrible boyfriend, but don't make it seem like he deserved what happened.

[@MaxMXCrafter]

I’m really glad all of you realised how haunting this movies ending is. It’s scary how many people think it’s a happy/positive ending.

[@MaxMXCrafter]

@Maalmi Basset weird people

[@frankoceanstanaccount7126]

@Maalmi Basset A lot of people think it's a happy ending for Dani, but no...

[@Josh-dy4lq]

It’s easily because of how it’s shot, the bright colors, and the sun shining. People can’t understand the underlining meanings

[@anttemo41]

I see you like fucked up movies. I watched this one last night and this movie still fucks me up. I will not be traveling with no white folks in Sweden. I think Pelle had something to do with Christians parents deaths, like he sped up the process by eliminating her family and him already infatuated with her, used her pain to get over there, and got rid of all the people around her. Now she becomes May Queen. Check out "Under The Skin" with Scarlett Johanneson. Makes you think differently about dating and going to someone's house for a one night stand...

[@scipioafricanus5871]

Midsommar is a cautionary tale about if you don't take care of your woman you might end up roasting inside a bear without being able to move or scream while being consumed by fire.

[@AstralStef]

This movie man

[@jennylovesmedia]

You guys need to watch the ORIGINAL Wicker Man (NOT the nic cage atrocity). It's much better. And it's a musical!

[@SirForwyn]

24:33 "Did she say Finish? I thought she was Swedish" God damn, this is why he's my favorite.

[@nbucwa6621]

"I believe Midsommer is a female empowerment movie" Ummm . . .not quite.

[@Mouse48861]

9:45 Rana - "Nahid you better watch out bro ;)" omfg hahahaha

[@vinylcomets]

I don’t get how this is empowering, aren’t you supposed to be disgusted towards her decision to kill Christian after he was raped?

[@mrs7195]

Also: did Dani's sister really kill herself and her parents, or were they killed by somebody else? Their deaths are a bit too convenient in pushing Dani into a certain direction in her life.

[@vincentzhaiven4017]

Y'all need to let that chick watch streams with the other normie girls. Whenever she's with y'all in these reactions she's annoying asf. She tries too hard and it shows.

[@rossmeyer2608]

Masterpiece

[@eceheceheceh]

I didn’t realize the drink was a different color than the rest. Good eye rana

[@xelectrix]

Wow. Didn't clock that conversation at 08:46 on my first watch of this movie. Homeboy brought them as payback for being friend zoned smh.

[@infalliblle]

I suddenly realized why I love your videos so much...no pauses!!!

[@amberhoward7807]

"A women empowerment movie..." ahahaha!!!! Or just a cult empowerment movie...
