@@JD-tm4ee bruh
points I've learned
. don't be in a relationship
. don't travel
. don't do drugs
. don't participate in group activities
. don't drink the homemade pink lemonade
i like the fact that they took a wonderful sweden festival into a cult like festival we all know in reality its nothing like this in real life lol atleast the real midsommar festival
That last point is the most important one... Jonestown
Note to self.
Do not go to a new country or go on a trip without studying the area, culture and traditions.
If you feel uncomfortable leave. Don't listen to what anyone says just leave.
Nah you should do drugs (but probably not if you’re struggling psychologically like Dani is.) And also, Sweden in real life sounds like a lovely place.
Most importantly
- be careful who you choose to be your friend
As a Swedish person I’d like to say that when they enter the village everyone gets treated with a “welcome” yet Danny gets treated with “welcome home” probably meaning that pele wanted Danny to come and had planned this weeks in advance

I think what disturbed me the most in this movie was how Christian was raped.
I understand he's a shitty guy who eventually wanted to pursue the young girl, but he didn't. He was drugged heavily and forced into doing it.
It's sad how a lot of people see this as cheating when it's actually rape.
Goes to show not only how much the Hårga manipulated the characters, but also the audience. I also can't believe people think it's his fault
I think the issue is people not knowing how the drug works.
people don't seem to realize that another form of rape is the victim being drugged up and not being sober enough to consent because they're not in the right state of mind at all. which is what happened to christian. and then how society treats sexual assault cases where the victim is a guy. it's really sad.
he's such a hateable person that people forget that he was raped
Exactly there was drugs and lovespells at play that manipulated him
How to beat Midsommar: Have a healthy relationship with your boy/girlfriend.

The thing is, literally anyone can be manipulated into a cult no matter how strong your will is or if you think that you would recognize every sign. So while we’re thinking “me personally, I would have noticed this and started doing this”, in reality the characters were probably experiencing a lot of cultural shock and were disoriented from all the drugs and rituals. When they’re feeling so confused, the cult members swoop in and comfort them. Honestly unless you’re a Sherlock Holmes cult expert I don’t think Midsommar is survivable.
True, but that only applies if you respect foreign cultures. So, in theory, if you didn’t give a flying fuck about culture and traditions, you’d probably pick up on just about every red flag and/or strange occurrence in the village. Also also, you’d have to be pretty stupid to accept any unknown substance from anyone in an isolated/unmodernized village.
I’ve done lots of psychedelics so I would probably be able to stay level headed
I’m willing to bet a people hater like Brock lesnar can’t be swayed into a cult.
I think the fact the group of "friends" were each assholes in general and to each other is what led to their downfall. If ANY of the men (apart from simon) showed a crumb of concern for their fellow peer, they would have noticed sketchy things was earlier in my opinion. Mark just wanted to bang a foreigner, and christian and josh were too focused on one-upping the other to pay attention to what was actually going on.
@@cic1470yeah, I don't trust anyone. I'd automatically presume their are some psychotic fucks especially after them jumping off cliff and pretend like it's a cultural thing.

Her smile at the end reminded me of scenes in which the demon wins and finally takes possession of its host. In both this cult movie and possession movies they choose vulnerable hosts ripe from trauma. It really drives home that much of horror is a metaphor for things humans are already doing to each other.
Wow, didn't think of it that way. Like the man being put in the bear suit, something else took over Dani's body, (shell).
Does anyone actually think that Chris was going to leave there alive? Even if she didn't pick him to die, are they really going to say, "Thank you for visiting our death cult! Please don't tell anyone that we murdered all of your friends. Have a safe trip back!"
They probably would have found a way to convince him to stay, like by having him marry Maya or pressure him to stay for the baby he just helped create.

hello master some guy
The place didn't seem to be particularly well guarded. It seemed like a pretty easy thing to just sneak out of bed at night, exit through the wooden gate, and trek back the way you came in. Another important thing is once realizing that you're in the midst of a cult, to just play along and not make a scene about leaving like the British couple did.
4 hour drive
@@UltrafalconVX7 From Stockholm. 35 min drive to a train station.
I'm pretty sure the dance-off was rigged to let Dani win. Some of those girls were obviously flopping haha.
You don't beat Midsomar. Just make sure you're crowned as the May Queen. Then, when you're off in another country to recruit more community members/sacrificial victims, just disappear to stay there and don't return to the community.
*laughs in force multiplier*
Except that it is implied the festivities are not over yet at the end of the movie (they should take 9 days). So... what is in store for the May Queen? Maybe we should not find that out.
@@mrs7195 we can't say that for sure, cause time was so messed up because of the sun that we can't actually say how many days passed since they arrived. I personally agree with the theory that every day one person is killed, as there are 9 sacrifices and 9 days of festivity, and, since nobody is killed on the first day, they kill the two elders on the second one, Simon on the third, Connie on the fourth, Mark on the fifth, Josh on the sixth and the other villages on the following days.

Putting Danni in a psych ward after their loved one dies is not actually a good idea. If someone did that to me after my parent died I would be so upset. That's a time where you need to be with loved ones to support you instead of being with strangers.
... Her loved ones were dead, though. That's the point.
He had already fallen out of love with her and was coming to terms with it, but stayed with her because he didn't want to add to her grief.
Honestly, I've been in a psych ward. The stability and dialogue really can help - and unlike loved ones who don't know effective ways to help you get over your grief, psychologists at least have a few proven methods to approach the situation from.
My mom even left me there without actually telling me I'd be staying there. Yeah, I was angry for the first week or two, but I got over it. Sometimes this sort of stuff is necessary for growth.
Agree, this part of the video made me uncomfortable and a hard disagree.
It is a very... unempathetic paternalistc way of thinking to just say "the woman is broke throw her in a pysch ward" simply because she is experiencing grief. He clearly knows nothing about what happens in pysch wards.
@@KD-ou2npI’ve been in a psych ward where one girl was in because her dad died and she wasn’t able to cope with it. Do psych wards suck? They can it all depends on your nurses and fellow patients, but they really aren’t as bad as people think
While not a psych ward, she should without a doubt be in contact and working with a therapist who specializes in grief, so that she at least has someone to help her through whats happening cause no one else around her will. If she was going to be left alone for that long, I would suggest maybe out patient care where she could still go home, but was still involved in some of the therapeutic aspects in in-patient care.
3:50 I noticed something interesting here. I’m not sure where I heard this, but when a group of people are getting lured into a cult, the cult would try to separate them so they would be easier to control. As you see here, they were separated. They designed this movie so well T_T

As I recall, and I'm nitpicking here, the "Blood Eagle" was not a sacrifice to Odin, but a cruel execution for criminals.
Sacrifices to Odin were made by hanging people from trees, to mimic Odin's own hanging.
Yah there’s a bit of inconsistencies he mentions. He included a scene of Ragnar being thrown into a pit of snakes but we all know it wasn’t done by the Vikings nor was Ragnar a human sacrifice… lol
a "blood eagle" is NOT a sacrifice, its an execution for the worst crimes possible, like killing the king or really REALLY piss of someone extremely powerful, and it was very rare, like it happened less than 5 times thoughout the entire viking period

Perhaps the worst thing here is that people went out of this movie thinking it was a genuinely happy ending. They were manipulated into believing that Dani got a happy ending when in fact she's trapped for life
I mean she sort of did. It's just not a traditional happy ending. None of the cultists are there against their will. In fact, by their rules Dany would leave the compound since she is in the summer of her life (mid-summer). She genuinely wanted to stay in the cult and found a place where she could belong. It's a fucked up place, but her life is fucked up.
@@Jooooger it's a cult that brainwashes people who are lonely and (feeling like they're) left all alone in the world. her vulnerability is what made her an easy target for the cult leaders and first off the man who brought them all to sweden. it was a tactically woven plan and dani is sadly not the first or the last victim
@@pazhdiskova1030 Sure, I agree with all that except Dani's victimhood. In fact, as May Queen she was the most empowered she has ever been, hence the smile at the end.
It's an ending that reminds me of The Witch, which also involves a female lead who has nowhere else to go becoming empowered at the end through dark means.
@@Jooooger mmmm.... You know, she is not really powerful, what happen it is the same when you give a paper crown to a kid and call them "oh my king" or "qeen"... They kill tou if you do not do what they want... She is not free, at worst she lost all of her free will...that is bad, like really bad
I liked the ending. She got rid of her asshole boyfriend and gained a family.
one thing I LOVE abt midsommar is how beautiful everything is, the clothing, the season all that typa stuff like I feel like bc of how peaceful and beautiful everything is is done on purpose to seem like an innocent community

Just a note - the May Queen is a role, it's not indefinite, every year a different girl takes up the role, so the other May Queens definitely weren't killed off lol, it wouldn't make any sense for the village to kill young women that can bring children to them.
yea but then where was the last year's previous may queen in the movie?
@@paizleyb1853 it was one of the young women for sure, we don't know which one, but a lot of them probably took the role of a May Queen during the yearly celebrations. They're just May Queens for the rituals, like they're actors acting out a specific role for a play.
This movie follows the “dumb college students get picked off one by one in ways that they should have seen coming until only the pretty girl survives” trope and yet it’s brilliant

I'm low-key disturbed when people say 'good for her' at the end of the movie. They do realize that Dani's toxic boyfriend just got replaced by an even worse toxic community, right?
Like really but at the same time Chris did just screw a child and before uhe was even drugged he said he was down for it. But still she's more then likely going to die before the year ends
@@orangejuiceking7173 He sure did. From the beginning he was probably thinking about getting laid (especially because of Mark). But at least he didn't kill a whole group of people (for years and years, presumably). He's just a selfish prick with a selfish prick.
@@Nexils tbh yeah he is a selfish prick. I think its still disturbing how he screwed that girl she was probably like 16 or 17 idk that makes me uncomfortable af
Yeah, I feel like people are really missing the point if they’re happy for Dani at the end. Not merely has she completely submitted to the twisted culture, traditions, and morality of the Hårga, she is also 100% culpable for the death of Christian. He was drugged and manipulated into the act that she saw. Recall too that she and Pelle shared a deep kiss before any of that, yet for Christian’s betrayal, she allows him to be killed. Ultimately, she became as bad as her sister, murdering Chris, and I don’t think her mind could recover from that. So now she’ll either be sacrificed in the remaining six days of the festival (where was last year’s may queen?) or become Pelle’s wife and have all the kids the group needs to add new genetics. She’s now a prisoner both of the Hårga and of the choices she made - she can never go back to the real world.
@@orangejuiceking7173 - Your issue is that he had sex with her, when he was drugged and manipulated into it? You think a normal person would “mate” with a person surrounded by ten naked strangers dancing and singing? He was seduced, had spells, potions, and smoke given to him and you could see that everything about it all made him terribly uncomfortable. Finally, he was burned alive by his girlfriend’s choice. But the sex part made you uncomfortable??
Pelle was so evil. He led all his friends to their deaths and he specifically picked out Dani to manipulate into becoming a member of the cult.
yeah, plus the part where he started either lying or traumadumping to dani to make her feel like they're alike and he was in the same situation too lol
@@7avdes he was also the one who killed josh i'm pretty sure

@@avigindratt7608nah her sister killed herself and her parents, it doesn’t have anything to do with the cult.
@@enagrubesic6080 who says that Pelle didn't drug her and made it appear like suicide? It seems he specifically chose Dani way before they were in Sweden
I think that the reason people are so divided on whether Danni has a happy ending is because she's brainwashed into thinking this is her happy ending. She might believe it herself, but on the outside we can see how twisted it really is.
I think it's also mostly cause we are shown how lonely her life was that made the whole cult thing more bearable than surviving because in the end, she's got no one to run to. Some people collectively believed it is better to be brainwashed into a community than see her already tragic life ends in more tragedy.
In my humble opinion I think people think she had a happy ending because she’s smiling at the end of movie but to me this smile isn’t happiness but a broken woman.
No Ghosts, No Aliens, No obvious Psychopaths, No Supernatural Phenomenona, No Guns, No Neuclear Weaponry, simply none of the Usual Horror Tropes and yet....Midsomer is one of the most gripping, psychologically disturbing and absolutely captivating films I have seen in years.
Along with Heredity, this is an absolute Masterpiece of Epic proportions and Ari Aster is set to be a legendary Director and Producer and I really hope he will make more films of this calibre.

Her life before was chaotic, out of her control. What this group gives her is complete order, a plan and place for everything. It's all mapped out how her life will go if she stays, and that eases her anxiety and makes her feel part of a real family which she never has really had before because of that chaos. Never knowing what will happen is a blessing as long as your life hasn't been tumultuous and traumatic.
Though people with traumatic backgrounds become used to it and start to feel uneasy when things are going normally and nothing bad is happening. It starts to feel as if the bad will happen at any moment and you are always anxious waiting for it to go wrong. It sometimes might make a petson self destruct to cause the bad they are always on edge waiting to happen.
I think it’s interesting how Pelle was studying anthropology. He was studying American society as an observer. It’s a great way to put space between assimilation by researching a culture.
Whereas Josh and later Christian approached the cult as a sideshow curiosity that would make a good thesis. Josh did start out with good intentions and knew way more about the culture than Christian but as soon as it got crazy he was all about exploiting the cult for recognition.

No pleaseeeee actually watch it. This summary does not do this film any justice whatsoever. Plus you can't see anything fucked up and a huge chunk of it is seriously fucked.
To me, this movie was about how vulnerable loneliness and fear makes people. That’s why Dani was easily manipulated by Pelle and the ending showed her going off the deep end and getting completely brainwashed by the cult.
I love the interpretation. I kinda felt the same. I did find the directors interpretation cool though. Basically, he said this is a "family movie". Dani lost one family (her biological one), was "taken in" by another one that treated her poorly (horrible bf & his friends), then eventually finds her place within the cult (her new family). No one in her life understands her, nor do they truly care. But the cult does. The moment where all the women are crying with her, is a real cult tactic called Mirroring. It's meant to make one feel as important and as seen as possible. I found that interesting.
yes, if people are scared they are more easily controlled
what your saying is basic 101 how to recruit people into a cult. Literally what real life cults do to get people to join and stay in their cults.
@Rusty Kinks Thats literally the explanation from the director. It's meant to be twisted. Also, those were not her friends. That's made perfectly clear from the start of the movie. They are her bfs friends & they convince him to allow her to come, only because she just lost her entire family. They also didn't "frame" her bf. It's explained that they use an outsider every year to impregnate one of their women to keep a certain bloodline going, as well as to grow their peoples. They were using him & she happened to see it happening. Thats also explained by the director to really just be a lucky coincidence that she saw it. She was broken enough by that point, he was probably gonna die either way.
yes i agree, i‘ve seen people say you have to be insane or stupid to feel brainwashed by the movie/ending,,, but i think its all about psychological/emotional strength of the moment, if Dani wasnt lonely and traumatised, she wouldn’t have been so brainwashed by this cult.....
FUN FACT! If you go to 16:04, you'll see three pictures and the middle one is actually a normal tradition! we don't kill people though so everything fucked up in this movie is completely false. The picture shows a pole, wrapped in flowers with people dancing around it. In swedish culture everyone dances and girls usually wear flower crowns, there is no competition or anything! we just dance and have picnics (idk if I spelled that right)

So what did we learn today?
-don’t go on a trip if your companions don’t care about you
-don’t take drugs
Mmmmkaaay?
Au contraire, take as many drugs as you can. Your body generates a resistance to them, specially psychedelics. If you take LSD and then again the next day it's potency is reduced by 50% and if you take it again on the 3rd day you wouldn't feel it at all, the same as if you didn't take it.
So by doing a lot of drugs, you'll be immune to all their drinks and the dust they throw in your face and you at least have a fighting chance
You forgot to add don't go to Sweden
@@hellspawn4083 dont join cults in Sweden
so did you miss the part where he talks about research being done with psilocybin mushrooms that treat depression and mental illnesses with great effectiveness?
I think that people forget that sometimes fear and survival instinct is really different for everybody. And seeing something so shocking early on can be used as a great way to divide and seek out who can be manipulated to stay forever. People don't usually have the time to think straight and realise they should act convincingly that they are okay and make a run for it when nobody is checking. Which actually could take a lot of time.
My personal theory is that Pele was behind Dani's family being killed. He had his eyes on her and found her to be a perfect candidate for the cult, however, all of his plans would've been ruined had Dani and her bf broke up, not to mention in order for someone to be vulnerable enough to get trapped in a cult, they must be completely severed from their other relationships. Lastly, pele mentions that he too lost his parents and was raised by the cult, so this could very well be one of their recruitment models
I always thought so too. It's so strange that all her family conviently died. 🤔
The director said this is NOT what happened. Explicitly said that Pelle had nothing to do with it…
@@healgoth wait really? How utterly lame
@@healgoth even still, he might not have been involved personally, we still know for a fact that he has been keeping in touch with them the whole time, so it could be that when they saw how she can be a perfect candidate for their ritual, they decided to pull off the homicide. Same thing that could have potentially happened to pele as well. The cult needs their members isolated and this would have done just that

I experienced a cult like feeling as a former student at a Waldorf school- I got there when I was 11 and left with 19 without finishing my a level to make my A-level at a normal state school, this actually happened only a few months ago - the teachers were constantly love bombing their students and reminding them of how lucky they are to be here. At the same time they behaved incredibly toxic, yelling at us, degrading us. Our personality was totally shut off in order to indoctrinate us. And no i am not joking, this is real. They are teaches that don’t succeed in real life so they work at an alternative school where they can feel like they are doing something valuable. And it shows. At this place the pupils adopt unhealthy disorders and spiritual belief systems that are truly brain damaging. When I decided to leave the school, they made a great fuss about it, trying to explain how great their teachings are. It was insane, I felt like I got brainwashed. Lucky enough I am a very intelligent human being myself- without wanting to sound arrogant, sorry in advance- and was able to develop own logic against their indoctrinations, but I regret going there in the first place. I met people their who admitted needing a therapy after this experience and this just proves how sick this place is. The teachers like to call out mistakes and laugh about wrong doings. They compare students to one another, but when you call them out, they act as if they don’t know what you are talking bout, which is called gaslighting. Thing is, for people with depression or narcissistic disorder this place was great, because it gave you a reassurance that you are special - if you follow the rules or made any kind of great achievements. But you were either in or out. I was always out and therefore felt like an outsider. But now I understand that I simply realized that they were liars. Still it was hard to cope with a place like this where you are constantly drawn in by people who want to convince you they know what’s best for you. It os so creepy. I am ashamed of myself for getting too attached especially to this one female teacher who always acted like she looked after you and who got vey personal with the students. I thought she understood me more than anyone else and even told her- after I left the school- that I was in love with her. I immediately knew how this was just a reaction to her fake behavior towards me and of course regretted the whole thing. But I am especially angry at her, because she acts innocent and lurs students in to keep them at this school and shuts down negative critics.

I love LOVE this newer trend of psychological horror. Scary scenarios moreso than scary scenes/ jump scares. This movie would be scary without the supernatural cult, that’s what makes it great. Taking psychedelics while grieving the gruesome death of your family with your boyfriend and his friends that all secretly dislike you and want him to dump you in a scary unknown setting is TERRIFYING. Add a death cult and things get really crazy.

I think the fact that they barely question where their friends went when they start disappearing is very meaningful to why the cult managed to get them so easily. It‘s obvious that Christian doesn‘t particularly care about Dani, but you can see that the whole group actually doesn‘t care about each other, which is contrasted by how united the Hårga are and how much they seem to care for Dani. The whole conflict of the movie is really just possible because no one cares about anyone.
Yeah! None of them care or worry about each other, it's a surface level friendship
They were more like party colleagues than friends.
it made them all too easily to manipulate
Then you have to ask is this sort of cult really the posion to the world or is it modern society?
@@anthonydowney9675 A cult who manipulated people is definitely poison compared to people having surface level friendships.
So much stuff.
1. The director himself said this is a breakup movie, not a horror movie.
2. Dani didnt invite herself on the trip. Her boyfriend invited her, and told the guys to act like they were with it.
3. Pele was drawing the picture of Dani earlier, he slyly hid it when asked what he was drawing.
4. Is that pubic hair tapestry in the director's cut?
5. The old couple weren't thrown off the cliff. Nobody threw or pushed them off.
6. Pele is grooming her. Yup.
7. At the end of the movie, the elder spoke on a set number of sacrifices needed. All of the Americans almost fulfilled it.
8. All of them were distracted mentally when Mark was lured away.
9. You skipped the part that you can hear Connie screaming as she was drowned, by three different people, in three diff screen shots.
10. Pele was the only one looking at Christian being offered the drugged drink.
11. You missed the part that an outline of Dani's sister is in the trees as they carried her on the platform, right after she won May Queen.
12. You missed that the whole movie is in the tapestry at the start of the film.
No

Fool - Mark,

"Rehab" is like 20 steps too far, but "cold turkey break up" is also NOT the only option.
The correct conversation to have would have been, "I want to support you as a friend; I don't think we should be dating while you're going through this."
I was thinking the same thing but the comments all agreed with him
I consider what happened to Christian to be rape.. I know people say he is "cheating" and he technically is but he was drugged and can't control himself..
remember how pelle said that he lost his parents in a fire? and how the hargas have the ritual at the end of the movie where two if the villagers volunteer to be burnt to death in that temple? yeah not good
But it did say in the movie that the festival only happens every 90 years or something so there’s no way his parents could have had him and died at the festival so idk. Unless they have other festivals where people get burnt
@@danielb1500 the "it's all 90 years" thing is most likely false, seeing how many may queens there is. It's prolly like every year or something like this, and the 90 years is just a lie used to give the thing an "exclusivity" aspect to attract people better
But he also said he joined the cult AFTER his parents burnt alive and the ceremony only happens every 90 years meaning he was introduced long after and his parents had nothing to do with the cult
@@nael3353 with connection that younger people have to the outside world (we could see it bc pelle went to usa and ingmar went to london), the cult used the outsider as their sacrifice so that they sacrificed less people from the cult 🤔
@@nael3353 they choose the may queen every year, plus the old people falling to death also happens every year, but I think they meant that the whole festival including the ritual of sacrificing people in fire is every 90 years
I found it kinda weird that the friends weren't more concerned about the British couple going missing
Bad writing
They do ask and are lied to about it.
Eh, they're British people, they do weird things, like disappear, it's just their thing. Don't disrespect their culture.
Lulz.
If you're in a cult you dont have to be gullible to be manipulated into whatever they say happened to them
also when josh went missing no one questioned it??
That's the entire lure of cultism. To join some place where you feel you belong and are important because you lack those things in the life you're currently leading. In the Fourth Way, it is said, "a man may not change his mind unless he has become disappointed with his beliefs or is seeking a new belief." The only real way to break from a cult is become disappointed with it. Unfortunately, many cultists find their disappointment FAR too late...with generally deadly consequences.
I like how this video is basically just don't make bad decisions ever, even if your decision making might be heavily impacted by grief.
It honestly just shows how everyone had a weak friendship with each other.

there's totally a reason for pelle targeting dani. cults target weakened people, whether it be moving to a new place and feeling isolated or having all of your family die.
Dani said that the cult's existence depended on no one ever knowing what was going on. She knew that they'd try to coerce them but she still didn't plot an escape. So many red flags ignored...
Yep but I think scene is only in the director’s cut.

What many people miss: Trauma causes what we call "learned helplessness". It messes up your fight or flight response permanently, so that even when the door is open, you cannot leave. That is why people stay in abusive relationships when they have been abused as a child and that's why Dany can't leave after living through the trauma with her family.
It’s interesting that the cult exploits each of the members’ flaws which lead to each of their downfalls. Josh’s curiosity and determination to get his thesis done gets himself caught and later killed. Mark’s lust and general stupidity leaves him completely oblivious to the angry villagers’ plot to turn on him. Chris’ total self-centered interests reach a high point in the climax as he drinks the “love potion” without ever questioning the repercussions of anything going on around him. And finally Dani’s grief had left her vulnerable to the sick manipulation the cult slowly places on her throughout the movie
i don’t think that she “realized that that’s where she belongs”, i think she finally cracked. we can see a similar example in the Joker Movie when he’s on TV and realizes that his favourite host doesn’t respect him, just like everyone else. you can see him crack when he finally realizes that he’s going to kill him as revenge. Dani had a very similar moment in the last scene. i’ve seen so many people say “she’s finally at piece” or “she’s finally happy” but i think that she’s quite the opposite, and that that was actually her breaking point to where she couldn’t return.
yes
love the joker comparison
Just like with "Heriditary" (SPOILERS!!)- the mom "snapped" when the dad suddenly spontaneously combusted, the way Toni Collete's expression just collasped- total blank, brilliant acting- it was like her brain/her pysche just said "enough!! I'll just go with it and think about it all later" Lol, I loved both these movies so much
It’s a bit of both tbh. She’s been indoctrinated in a way so while she may be at peace she’s also trapped
poor Dany 😓😓😓
She doesn’t actually invite herself, her boyfriend was just an overall bad person. She was upset that he didn’t tell her but eventually encouraged him to go. He invites her because he’s hoping that she’ll say no instead of having an actual conversation with her, just to allow everyone to believe that going was her idea and let’s them be upset with her for “inviting herself” and ruining his trip. He was a bad boyfriend, a bad friend, and a weak character.
THIS
This has nothing to Dow it’s this comment but why does mark look like rick astley
And don't forget that Pelle also manipulated her into coming as well.
@@JotaC that is true! If it wasn’t for Christian inviting her and Pelle manipulating her, she most likely would have just let Christian go with out her because Dani’s weakness was being a people pleaser and being the type to suffer in silence.
@@Nina-or8ni how is he a weak character?
That's a thing with a lot of horror movie characters lol. Things start going wrong, they could probably make it out if they left early, but they keep finding ways to be okay with the situation until shit really gets hairy. Then they WANT to escape, but it's way too late and the monster or whatever kills them.
The research you put in, and the incredible details the director added are amazing.
You forgot a part of the ritual love spell! If you notice, the boyfriend’s drink is also a different color compared to everyone else’s. That’s because she also put her period blood into it, like the rest of the tapestry says!

I watched this movie while on shrooms, it was crazy. They were high dancing in the woods, then I zoned out and came back to old people jumping off a cliff onto a rock. Then I zoned out AGAIN and came back to a dude in a shed cut up and turned into art. Crazy New Years Eve.
One way someone could leave is they could start a fire as a diversion. Leave with a very small bag with some food, water, and a knife from the kitchen. I noticed in the deleted scenes of the movie there's a river near the village. So instead of walking down the road which is what they expect I say float down the river on your back. I know how to float so it would be easy for me. As long as there's no Alligators which I don't think Sweden would have. floating down the river you would be better because of the following reasons 1. They couldn't use dogs to track your sent 2. Floating is faster than walking 3. You wouldn't get tired as fast 4. You would have access to fresh drinking water if needed 5. Most neighborhoods are built near waterways. What would you guys do?
13:20 One thing you forgot to mention is that if Chris or his friends were paying attention they would have noticed that Chris' drink was a redder tint than anyone else's; a clear sign that somebody had added a little extra to his drink (It's the young girl's period blood, in case you were wondering)

Anyone noticed how Dani never got to go past the in denial stage of grief? Everytime family is mentioned she runs away and cries. When Pelle talked to her about his parents, she kept denying that she was upset about what happened to hers.
I think that contributes so much to her trauma and why she breaks down when she's reminded of her family. All she needed was time and someone to be actually be there and Christian neglected to do that. I mean yeah he was there but it's clear that he's drifting away from her.

When I watched this movie, I thought the safest way out for anyone (May queen or not) would be to play along with the cult until one has the chance to go out and find outsiders, just like the guy who drew the portrait. It might be a long wait, but if one's morals and sanity are strong enough, one could bring the authorities to the cult without raising suspicions and ultimately, one could save hundreds of lives, as opposed to escaping, what gives the leaders from the cult a chance to strategize and get away with their crimes.
This is true but at the end ot's pretty clear that 4 of the 6 outsiders were going to be sacrificed at the end of the ceremony. The only one capable of waiting it out would be Dani but if she wanted this route it would have been too late to save her "friends". However saving them wouldn't be high on my priority list since they barely seemed interested in saving themselves so if I were her I would buy time to leave. However again Dani was not in a good mental place for this movie and most likely found a home within the cult
