@@toxoplasmagondi yeah I was talking about the idea interpreted by the imagery only. It's just so colourful nd flowery (so much perks vibe) and then u watch the movie, it's a cult killing people 😂
When the women are crying with the main character, they sound like when you squeeze a bunch of those fake chickens and they all scream at the same time
It’s a good portrayal of what happens in cults in which the members provide an overwhelming amount of comfort and support when someone is in pain to make them feel like they belong
@fireboss. z its fucking revolting imo. like the actual deaths didnt bother as much, but the psychological manipulation that happened within the movie that goes unrecognized made my blood boil and triggered me so much. thank fucking god regular horror movies just stick with murder bc that is far more palatable than what happened in midsommar
I literally never get scared of any movie, but this one fucked with my head so hard I had a shocked face for the majority of the movie and couldn't move
The fact that Trin says the main character has a beautiful nose is actually hysterical because the main character is played by the same person who plays Amy in little women and like one of Amy’s character traits is complaining about her nose
I was wondering if Trin would notice how that one girl put her period blood in the guy's juice for the love spell. I gagged for a good ten minutes when it hit me.
Fr that scene really disgusted me. Probably because the film had been kind of chill on the gory side of it and then that woman’s face just like flew off
I saw where Florence Pugh was thrilled to be in Little Women because that movie started filming after she had finished this movie. She said being in Little Women was therapeutic.
i watched little women and i was like i wanna see more of florence pugh’s movies so i watched midsommar with no idea what it was about and just putting it out there that IT and IT chapter two are literally in my top 5 favorite movies ever and i like horror movies but i was scared FOR WEEKS because of this movie
Local Simp it’s definitely more of a psychological horror rather than like a scary thriller but damn is it terrifying if you ponder on it for a while afterwards
The fact trin said “we can’t always get what we want” and didn’t follow it up with a glee style “but if you try sometimes you’ll find you get what you need” is my new villain origin story
The man who played as Christian said that he had to abstain from drinking and read a lot of books to help keep his head as level as he could keep it while filming
I mean it was probably a very interesting acting lesson because they would have had to tap into something real to get it to be like that otherwise it would have been ridiculous. So it was at least helpful and interesting 😂
It must have been so traumatic for Dani to see tons of people die after her family’s death cause she was still in grief, she must’ve thought it would be a relaxing trip that would help her maybe forget about it a bit but NAH!
As a Swede i totally forgot when they spoke Swedish that she doesn’t understand the language so I was like ”Why isn’t she reacting to what that Woman just Said???”
I understand mania can make people who battle bipolar do horrific things but i hate that her sister had bipolar and her only character trait was bi-polar because all that does is further de-humanize the illness and perpetuate negative connotations and stigmas that already make it so hard for those with bi-polar to feel safe,seen and normal
Wish you didn't feel the need to apologize/explain yourself so much. You should be able to makr these videos without fear of the internet attacking you. You've earned your following and it's a joy to watch your videos. Keep being amazing, girl!
@@allywong9675 It's a bit blurry and the two often are very close together and many movies are kinda both, though often one more than the other. If you ask me, the main goal of horror is to interact with the audience through the emotion of fear - if you are scared, unsettled, disturbed or disgusted, there are likely at least some horror elements in there. Thrillers on the other hand work with suspense and keep you on the edge of your seat as to what happens next. In short, in thrillers you want to know what comes next, in horror movies you dread what comes next. But like I said, it's hard to make a clear cut distinction between the two and I wouldn't see my comment as the only interpretation.
And, during the dancing scene, what’s so strange is that I believe they all wanted Dani to win so she would feel this sense of pride and power which would lead to her believing she is more important. It would causes Dani than to subconsciously make the decision to go full in but it technically wasn’t really her. Basically they had put the idea in her head so she would think it was all her choice to stay and be a part of this fully. It’s a masterpiece and a disgusting movie in and of itself
Midsommar was such a slow burn. Every moment was so subtle and gentle that you can’t look away. It built so much tension it made me SO anxious. The setting being so light and sunny was so trippy to me and made everything more uncomfortable. Ugh the juxtaposition. This movie is a masterpiece and I couldn’t stop thinking about it for a while after but I wouldn’t watch it again
This thing traumatised me. I couldn’t physically make myself look away. My sister eventually put her hands over my eyes at the sex ritual because she and her boyfriend snuck me in (I’m a year or two below the age you can legally see a rated r film). I now have the images of the old people getting bashed over the head and a bunch of naked people standing in a circle while the two fucked in the middle.
I was really looking forward to seeing this one, but honestly I think that meeting this lovely young lady under this circumstance has gotta be even better than watching it firsthand. She is fracking hilarious. And I can see the values at play, this is indeed a special work.
I like how you mentioned that the movie is light, yet somehow it's scarier that way. I think it has to do with the fact that since we associate the dark with spooks we tend to feel better/safe when it's light again. However when everything scary happens in broad daylight we don't have that mental safety net. Bad things can still happen when it's light out and you're in a field of flowers. There is no where you can go that will make you feel safe. Anyway, that's my hot take as to why Midsommar is so scary :D
Nothing is scarier than look at a "normalcy" and knowing somethin' is very very wrong. That's why bright color pallette things in horror movies freak me out. Granted I haven't seen many horror movies but it still unsettles me.
i kinda like that... it just adds to the creep factor. looking at a bright and cheerful place and just knowing that something is tilted, just slightly off and then the mask falls off and hell is unleased? that is is satisfying
everyone commenting on what she missed in this aggressive tone like she’s obligated to notice every single clue and technique upon her first viewing. can ye just look at what we’re doing to the poor girl in terms of scrutiny. she’s a beautiful, charismatic girl and i subscribed solely for her reactions to what she’s watching, not for what she is actually watching. if you want to watch the movie, stop being cheap and rent it or something but leave her alone. you’re ruining it for the people who just want to watch her be herself.
I adore this film and all its imagery but I also love Trin so I agree with you completely! Her reactions are hilarious and I think she was so brave to tough this out for us :)
I've seen this movie 3 times and I love every single scene because it's so different and unique, but when I watch commentary videos, I never expect to watch the whole film, there's copyright issues and I can just go watch the whole film again on my own with another person's point of view in mind. I love Trin even though I just subscribed two days ago after watching her with Pretty Much It, but she is hilarious and relatable and those people who say otherwise can just leave, literally exit out of the video if you don't like it, it's easier to do than having to type up a whole hate comment...lol
I kind of laugh when people are like "yeah the cult did awful things but theyre so kind to Dani, she basically has a new family" because it's clear they have zero experience or any idea in general how a cult works.
@@FireNooodles if you think being happy for her is your salutation than u DEF need help. Dani’s gonna die anyway cause in their cult they kill the may queens?? it was literally shown in the tapestry?
As someone who literally grew up in Sweden and partook in all their holidays including Midsommar, I PROMISE YOU!!! This is not what midsommar is like. It’s actually really beautiful and fun
@@mackenziecarey9025 i'm a swede and no i dont think its "offensive" or anything but i for SURE think people have gotten the wrong picture about what midsommar is and what it stands for. yes we wear flower crowns and dance around a maypole lol but there have never been any rituals or that shit. so if anything its kinda sad that people will know midsommar as this movie and not what it actually is, i saw a comment here saying "this movie made me fear your culture" :((((
the scene where she’s mourning after seeing her boyfriend having ya know, i thought it was beautiful in a sense that they’re not letting her mourn alone “if you’re suffering we’re suffering too and we’re here for you” shown in a dramatic way but still
Yeah also sure they’re “mourning” with her but they’re also literally the ones that cause her that pain by drugging her bf beyond any hope of actual consent and litteraly forcing him to empregnate the cult girl
Gave me absolute goosebumps. The contrast to her surroundings reacting to her grief in the beginning, and the actual validation of her feelings she experiences with her “sisters” is stunning. S t u n n i n g
@@MarissaCooperButPoor as a swede real midsummor holiday isn’t like this! its actually the complete opposite. nothing scary or any of the rituals in this movie.
honestly, because she protected me from myself. i cannot control myself from looking at scary things prolly explains why i’m doing a DEEP FICKING DIVE ON A MOVIE THATS TERRIFYING ME
Hey Trin! From an old film theory student, just to let you know it's completely okay to like those camera shots. The only time it's okay to criticise someone for their preferences is if they're a student and can't express why they like or dislike something, because then they're missing the academic side of the degree. So don't let anyone make you feel shit about what you like seeing in films.
Saff I’m sorry but is that Mr.JYP 😱 And also taking a film class is so cool. I’m currently doing it and learning so much. Can’t watch a film now without analyzing and dissecting everything. Proves that films are art with motion
It got me so mad when Florence Pugh won no Oscars even though she had this astounding performance and was also in little women. This movie should have been nominated
Butt Hz A: Toni Colette is a great Oscar but wasn’t even nominated for a movie (a movie she was in was nominated in one category but not her) this year so it doesn’t really matter, Florence was (only for little women sadly) B: If you mean for hereditary I agree, that was award winning but I’m not comparing her to another actress. C: she would technically be nominated for “best actress” not “best actor”
So true! Florence deserved two nominations. One for best supporting actress (like she got) and another one for best leading actress. It would be amazing if the two black widows were nominated for the same categories. Btw i was so angry when Laura won. I mean 2019 was Florence's year and Laura didn't do nothing special in Marriage Story. I said what i said.
Diasmc Coelho Adam driver and Scarlett Johansson really did amazing jobs for that movie, but I didn’t think Laura dern did a Oscar worthy job. Should’ve gone to Florence.
Whenever I suggest this movie, I ALWAYS tell the person that it's incredibly important to be in a good head space. I love movies like this (Hereditary and The Witch as well) because you need to pay attention and put the pieces together as you watch, and the endings are always incredible in one way or another. Honestly this is one of my absolute favorite horror movies, even though it took me a full week to recover after seeing it the first time.
I love Hereditary, The Witch, and Midsommar as well! What you described is such an accurate description of why I like them. Do you happen to have any recommendations for other movies in that vein?
I agree that you need to be in a good head space, I wasn't when I first watched it and even though I was paying attention it ruined me and I had to take a couple breaks and watch it in stages.
horror movies almost never get nominations, fun fact, in all 92 years there’s only ever been 2 horror movies nominated! the silence of the lambs and get out. it sucks bc hereditary and this definitely deserved and so many other but yeah. horror isn’t really for the GP most of the time so i guess that’s why
Angel they totally should! i hope sometime in the near future they will but a lot of the judges are older and a majority of older people are against horror movies bc they “promote” violence and that kinda stuff. horror has helped me in my life in too many ways to count so it’s sad seeing some of my favorite movies get no recognition because they’re branded as scary
The Exorcist actually was nominated for Best Picture, and won for Adapted Screenplay and Sound Editing. But yeah it’s a big exception and the Academy ignores horror 99% of the time
Its so true!! for some reason, they have it out for horror. I am a huge horror fan and its sad to see that when a good horror movie comes out they really don't want to give an award for horror, so this just call it a thriller instead because god forbid a horror movie won.
seriously she was saying some really insightful things that i didn’t even notice when i saw the movie she’s genuinely so smart i think elle is a good comparison of her
my favorite part of the film was that whenever they wore flowers, the flowers pulse because of the drugs their on. its literally in every scene that they wore flowers. i could go into so much detail about this movie because its so interesting.
wait i couldnt see them pulse am i blind super edit: ok so when dani is wearing the queen flower crown thing i can see some of the flowers pulse, but do everyone else's flower crowns pulsate?
All the eyes change sizes too! And the background waves around depending on who's perspective we're seeing, its subtle so its hard to see unless you're paying attention but its so good
This movie is so fascinating because it basically brainwashes you by using methods that actual cults use. It’s disturbing yes but fascinating nonetheless. I actually smiled with her at the end which is like so fucked up!
Omg yes. I had an existential crisis because I felt good after watching this film and I was like... that probably wasn't supposed to happen 😂 I think it's possibly because I have PTSD. That or I'm VERY susceptible to cult tactics
i'm very skeptical of anyone that's overly nice like that, especially that massive group of people i'd feel like i'd get hate crimed (which is actually a part of it), so i never really got brainwashed. but the amount of people including professionals saying that that was a good ending was genuinely astounding to me.
I love this movie and that there is so much discussion about it. Also, I love it that ALL the characters are morally ambiguous. Hårgas are a cult and and they wanted Dani to be May Queen. They manipulated the events so that they could advance Christian and Dani to break up. This is what cults do in real life - destroy old relationships in order to get people in. This was made possible, because they are BOTH confused, both having their issues and lack of direction. But I'm amazed that people consider Dani innocent...hello, she took part in choosing a human sacrifice, when the morally / ethically choice would to refuse?? It's a horror movie but people are pretty messed up if they don't see that... I don't think what Christian does can be called "gaslighting" - but he's still being quite spineless and manipulative, but more out of instinct rather than any plan. Video about Gaslighting and Midsommar: th-cam.com/video/82_cZO-XvuU/w-d-xo.html Who is acting out of a plan, are the Hårgas. They want to break-up Dani and Christian. They create the environment where he feels like an outsider, and she feels like she belongs there. This is a point I haven't seen been mentioned often: when they make Dani choose the final sacrifice- in what condition is Christian? Unable to SAY ANYTHING. Dani is angry at him, justifiably, but at a man who the Hårgas have made paralyzed and unable to speak. And they want Dani to be freshly heartbroken, so he would pick Christian- because doing so, she is made accomplice to the killing. That's her TRUE FINAL RITE into the Hårgas. Not the fabricated theatre of May Queen crowning, but making her take active part in choosing sacrifices. In that moment, she's liberated, but also insane. Is Christian a shitty boyfriend? Yes. Should they break-up? Yes. Should Dani choose a sacrifice? No. She should have either picked the Hårga man or flat-out refuse to choose ANYONE as a sacrifice. People idolising Dani somehow seem to overlook this lol. "You go girl, be held and find a new home, take part in human sacrifices!" Is a new side shown out of Dani in the end? Yes, but it's partly because she's gone insane. The original script literally describes the smile as insane, as liberation that the insane only can feel. She has lost everything and she's made to choose a sacrifice- a sacrifice that she's also being manipulated into. And she is now in the control of the Hårgas after that. She's taken part into their murders. The suit made out of flowers is a perfect metaphor: they shower her with love, but wanting to imprison her. She's so overwhelmed with the flowers it's hard for her to move. They welcome her "home", because as the only blond female of the group, she's the perfect baby making machine for their blood lines. A pregnant woman has more trouble to escape as well. And this is why I love this movie even more than Hereditary: it's even more psychological, doesn't require supernatural aspects- and it's core strength is at what is IMPLIED even more than what is actually shown. That is powerful. NEITHER Dani or Christian are innocent. Neither are they guilty. They are lost, confused pawns and neither find any true liberation in the end. One loses his life, one loses their soul, sanity and individuality. There's a chance she will adjust but that is left open. I think it's a perfect ending to a horror movie. The character that has lost the most, has also become part of something truly sinister.
@@SoWhosGae it's all supposed to be symbolic lol. just a visual representation of what it's like to endure heartache. so basically nothing is and none of them are real, they all symbolise something that goes thru our mind when we are in pain. like.... this movie isn't saying drugging and killing someone is worse than cheating lol.
Then you realize that early Christians practiced in catacombs before they got 'mainstream'. Or that in every major catholic church technically has human bones of past saints. Nothing is safe! I'm terrified of ritualistic practices, period. I fully admit to being a very unnerved coward. No thank you.👏👏
@@karma.chameleon yeah i saw "hair accessory" and thought oh, that flower crown? sksksk ngl i like her may queen outfit and crown a lot. would like it without the clut stuff
oof honestly the ceremonial garb is really gorgeous. If I didn’t know ahead of time that it was a horror movie, I’d probably want to be a part of the ceremony 💀
@@ari3899 but her sister wasn't NEAR her. Plus think about it, it's much easier to be suspicious of a stranger than accuse ur sibling of murder/suicide.
i thought it was a planted suicide at first. i thought someone made it look like a suicide rather than her just committing suicide and killing her parents too. i didn’t end up including those thoughts in the video though. sorry about that.
Trin Lovell it does seem like it Should be considering everything else in the movie. a lot of people said that part always feels like it doesn’t fit completely in the movie but I think it was just so Dani wouldn’t have a family so she would be more vulnerable to the cult 🤷🏼♀️
@@LovellTrin i just realized the original comment said "Trin" but I read Dani omg. Lol in ur defense it never outright says the sister did it but the context clues of Dani mentioning her sister's mental health & then her worrying over emails are the context clues.
Yeah, "Midsommar" totally triggered me in theaters. I'm actually glad someone else felt as disturbed as I did. I think you should watch "Us" since it's actually fun and interesting, a fantastic follow-up to "Get Out." Plus if you think "Midsommar" was snubbed (I agree- Production Design alone was amazing), just watch Lupita Nyong'o in "Us." That's a Best Actress snub that will be felt forever.
YES! Us is more like creepy suspense in that sense of reminding you of things you're scared of when you're a kid and that feel uncanny when you're grown up. And Lupita is always amazing
Jonathan Wright there was a group of guys next to my aunt, grandma and with me being the closest to them... every 5 mins you hear a different guy whispering “what the f***” or different variations of it😂 and i started joining it... Grandma loved the movie tho😂😂😂
My friend and I research the occult which is why we went to see this movie. To see how much of it was real. All of it was real rituals, and the runes are real and the meanings and such. The movie was definitely a dive into the occult. It was actually interesting how many people next to me didnt really react to alot of the movie..... I've seen alot of stuff like this through my research but I was jumping in my seat from sheer discomfort
Honestly same, I'm a scaredy cat and unless I know the whole plot and can't be jump scared I won't watch a horror/suspense movie, and this one, like, NO ONE WOULD DESCRIBE IT TO ME
goldenoceans14 it was my first thought when i saw it the first time😂 honestly i only saw it for the cinematography and loved it. My grandma dragged me to see it for the plot😂
I felt so bad when you said you felt so stressed and you wanted to cry :( please don't feel pressured to continue a movie just for the reaction if you don't feel good ! take care
I honestly don’t think it was her, I think it was Pelle (idk if it’s spelled right) who killed them bc when they arrived at the Hårga they only hugged her, and another thing that made me skeptical was that beside her dead mother’s bed there was a flower crown on the girl’s picture. I personally think it was all planed out by Pelle. It’s almost obvious bc of the way he talked to her like it was bound to happen
Rodrigo Hernán Miño I kinda disagree with that, I think bringing his friends to Midsommar was his plan. Especially her for some reason. I feel like it was a subtle manipulation by him knowing that Dani’s bf wouldn’t let her be alone. Think like this, remember when Dani went to her bf’s and his friends place, and she talked with Pelle on the couch? His face expression was way off when he mentioned her dead family. When they arrived to Midsommar they said “welcome” to everyone but to Dani they said “welcome home”. I might sound way off but that’s just my theory hehe and there’s symbolism everywhere
@@visualsbyTP he didn't know her nor her sister. Also her sister's suicide was weirdly specific and it took a lot o screentime for something that really meant nothing
The scenes where they all wail together reminds me of that one vine where this person pushes down on a lot of rubber chickens and they all wail and its hilarious to me
I get you there, but I honestly found those scenes to be EXTREMELY uncomfortable and unsettling. Like, the idea of other people thinking they can feel my pain makes me so angry and seeing that whole group do that to her...ugh. So stressful.
This movie filled me with so much dread the entire time. The contrasting dark feeling but light color scheme of the film made me so on edge and the trip scene was too real, just one bad thought and BOOM, you're spiraling into paranoia and fear. The music playing throughout it was still stuck in my head days later. Scariest movie I've ever seen too girl. I had nightmares lmao.
13:18 ættestup is an old viking tradition. basically the old people who werent in shape to work anymore jumped off a cliff to their deaths. they were told that they would go to heaven if they did it, while in reality it was to not waste any more recources on them. so as a scandinavian, once i heard him say ættestup i pretty much knew what was gonna happen :((
@@witchessential8619 "helvete si sverg de skal hoppe av et stup neineinei trin du vet ikke hva som skal skje men jeg sier deg allerede du må se bort" - tankegangen etter at han sa ættestup
@@LottaKornelia Im not scandinavian myself (maybe very distantly) but Im familiar with Vikings and their old practices. So seeing the Blood Angel and hearing ættestup, im glad I knew what they meant and where it came from. But I do get the rough translation of what you just said :)
2 things. 1, the end where he feels pain despite the “medicine” shows the people that volunteered that the cult lied all along, showing to their own that everything they believed was fake and they were dying for nothing. 2, when she’s wearing the massive may queen gown my ass could not stop thinking CAN YOU IMAGINE THE SPIDERS HIDING IN THAT SHIT????
When they said "They respect the incest taboo", it means that they respect those who choose not to partake in incest, it isn't forced. (still really gross if you ask me)
Yeah, I was like "well, I'm glad I kind of watched it but had it censored and didn't get the full WTF impact from watching it from the beginning." But then again, I wish I hadn't. Bad idea.
The scene where they’re all screaming together is actually quite psychologically powerful. They are all grieving together sharing their pain. This movie explores invasive thoughts in out deepest psyche. Quite powerful... Being left alone... having no family.. being dealt with grief alone....
I find it to be actually disturbing because you can see how the women around her were just mimicking her and slowly indoctrinating her into the cult. This fantasy of sunlight, flowers and dances are just a trick.
@@DrGregoryHouseIT nah. it's not pretending. as shown in the ättestupa scene, the members of the cult all feel each others' pain and strong emotions. dani was told all this time to stop being sad, to repress the feelings and stop being dramatic. the girls however don't tell her to stop, they cry with her and share the pain, which is incredible to dani as nobody has symphatised with her before that. they are in a way welcoming dani into the cult by showing her that they feel what she feels.
Listen: I watched this movie during a work retreat in Sweden!!! they took us to this rural area called bommersvik with cottages and in a forest with a lake the same aesthetics of the movie! It was suggested to me as a good movie to watch on IMdB... me in October at night watching this movie in a swedish rural area amongst people talking a language that I don't understand!!! I was not able to sleep and I had to keep the lights on... My cottage was the nearest to the forest in the back of all cottages!! perfect for being a sacrifice to swedish pagan gods
I haven't watched midsommar because I'm literally scared of everything too but i've been so tempted because of the hype so I compromised and watched this video instead. thank you for your service queen
tbh midsommar wasn't very scary imo at least. there's gore and the murder suicide scene which was really the only thing that freaked me out but i kind of was rooting for the "antagonists" of the movie because the bf and his friends were dickheads lmao. it honestly made me happy for dani at the end since she finally had a community or family that cared about her. i definitely recommend u watch it yourself!!
“The Swedish man is suspicious” could be an entire synopsis for this film.
Is that even the right use of the word suspicious?
Suspicious Swedish specimen 😭
I think he killed Danis parents so she would come to Sweden to be the may queen
Sabrina Haddad nah the sister was just suicidal and didn’t like her parents
Lmao yes
I'm starting to suspect the sweddish guy in the "Tall Girl" movie was trying to recruit people for midsommar but didn't succeed.

Calisha sounds like you’d be an easy target for cult recruitment lol
why the hell did i think that Midsommar was some 'cute perks of being a wallflower' kind of movie?!?!
It was those effing flowers
idk, why did you think that? nothing about the imagery of this movie suggests that tbh
@@toxoplasmagondi yeah I was talking about the idea interpreted by the imagery only. It's just so colourful nd flowery (so much perks vibe) and then u watch the movie, it's a cult killing people 😂
Same I literally thought it was a coming of age movie

When the women are crying with the main character, they sound like when you squeeze a bunch of those fake chickens and they all scream at the same time
Like the vine lmao
you can't unhear it
It’s a good portrayal of what happens in cults in which the members provide an overwhelming amount of comfort and support when someone is in pain to make them feel like they belong

I would like to take a moment to appreciate whoever did the flower arrangements for midsommar
that’s the only part of the movie I like😭
I'm never going to look at flower arrangements the same way after this movie ...
Literally this. The dress cage thing she wears is insanely cool flower-istry (idk what to call it 😅)
@@magickaldust1213 Floristry! :D
frrr like her flower gown at the end is 😩💜💙
It's not a "scary" horror film, it's unsettling. It just makes your skin crawl.
Which makes it somewhat scary
It’s psychological horror with makes it so much more scarier
i watched it a few days ago and i cant stop thinking about it i genuinely wished i never watched it
@fireboss. z its fucking revolting imo. like the actual deaths didnt bother as much, but the psychological manipulation that happened within the movie that goes unrecognized made my blood boil and triggered me so much. thank fucking god regular horror movies just stick with murder bc that is far more palatable than what happened in midsommar
I literally never get scared of any movie, but this one fucked with my head so hard I had a shocked face for the majority of the movie and couldn't move

As a Swedish person I just wanted to say that this is not how we celebrate midsommar. I promise
Yeah that's what you want us to think isn't it
Sounds like something that someone who celebrates midsommar like this would say
No one said it was.
The director himself has addressed the same thing in interviews
Suuuuurrreee you don't *wink wink nudge nudge*
That sounds like something a Swedish cult man would say.
The fact that Trin says the main character has a beautiful nose is actually hysterical because the main character is played by the same person who plays Amy in little women and like one of Amy’s character traits is complaining about her nose
I love her nose.
I was thinking the same exact thing
@Benedita Hipólito She has a beautiful personality too.
you are loved but didn’t she try to make it smaller like she said it was too big no?
Florence is beautiful
I was wondering if Trin would notice how that one girl put her period blood in the guy's juice for the love spell. I gagged for a good ten minutes when it hit me.
Nas yeah, I’m kinda sad that she missed a few of things.
what time stamp?
sonny eae 18:40 she cut where the shot focuses on the juice to show it’s a different color than everybody else’s
The fact that I knew about that love spell before watching the movie scares me, like where did I learn that from
You just ruined my life lmaoooooo
its not really "scary", it's more extremely disturbing. when those two people jumped off the cliff i lost it
I stopped watching after that clip lol
Fr that scene really disgusted me. Probably because the film had been kind of chill on the gory side of it and then that woman’s face just like flew off
the scariest scene for me, but idk what was the most disturbing

I saw where Florence Pugh was thrilled to be in Little Women because that movie started filming after she had finished this movie. She said being in Little Women was therapeutic.
I can only imagine. Being in something like this would take a lot emotionally out of you I think
i watched little women and i was like i wanna see more of florence pugh’s movies so i watched midsommar with no idea what it was about and just putting it out there that IT and IT chapter two are literally in my top 5 favorite movies ever and i like horror movies but i was scared FOR WEEKS because of this movie
@@kayypriestt IT is my favorite horror movie but it isnt really scary if you think about it
she did great in both! florence’s character in Little Women is my favourite
Local Simp it’s definitely more of a psychological horror rather than like a scary thriller but damn is it terrifying if you ponder on it for a while afterwards
The fact trin said “we can’t always get what we want” and didn’t follow it up with a glee style “but if you try sometimes you’ll find you get what you need” is my new villain origin story

"Why wasn't this up for any Oscars?"
Because the Academy is prejudiced against horror movies and snubs them every year.
But Parasite got a oscar?
@unlabeled Sorry to ask but what's the difference between horror and thriller?
@@allywong9675
I think horror is usually scarier and more gorey than thriller,I think thriller has more of a mystery aspect to it?
@@allywong9675 It's a bit blurry and the two often are very close together and many movies are kinda both, though often one more than the other. If you ask me, the main goal of horror is to interact with the audience through the emotion of fear - if you are scared, unsettled, disturbed or disgusted, there are likely at least some horror elements in there. Thrillers on the other hand work with suspense and keep you on the edge of your seat as to what happens next. In short, in thrillers you want to know what comes next, in horror movies you dread what comes next.
But like I said, it's hard to make a clear cut distinction between the two and I wouldn't see my comment as the only interpretation.
@@allywong9675 very late to this but horror plays off fear, gore off disgust, thriller off suspense
She blurred most of the movie and I was still disgusted with what she showed

"They're all naked and touching their boobs-!

Never change Trin.
And, during the dancing scene, what’s so strange is that I believe they all wanted Dani to win so she would feel this sense of pride and power which would lead to her believing she is more important. It would causes Dani than to subconsciously make the decision to go full in but it technically wasn’t really her. Basically they had put the idea in her head so she would think it was all her choice to stay and be a part of this fully. It’s a masterpiece and a disgusting movie in and of itself
Yep cults brainwash
Midsommar was such a slow burn. Every moment was so subtle and gentle that you can’t look away. It built so much tension it made me SO anxious. The setting being so light and sunny was so trippy to me and made everything more uncomfortable. Ugh the juxtaposition. This movie is a masterpiece and I couldn’t stop thinking about it for a while after but I wouldn’t watch it again
I agree with literally every single statement you just made
This thing traumatised me. I couldn’t physically make myself look away. My sister eventually put her hands over my eyes at the sex ritual because she and her boyfriend snuck me in (I’m a year or two below the age you can legally see a rated r film). I now have the images of the old people getting bashed over the head and a bunch of naked people standing in a circle while the two fucked in the middle.
especially when she was always on the verge of panic attacks @ the camp
I was really looking forward to seeing this one, but honestly I think that meeting this lovely young lady under this circumstance has gotta be even better than watching it firsthand. She is fracking hilarious. And I can see the values at play, this is indeed a special work.
..but this gal is even more compelling. Holy shit has she gotta been fantasy level high. 😂
“they did it in hereditary” hehe it’s the same director

@@treyhagen5731 ok trey
That makes SO much sense
Fuuucckkm that explains a lot I loved both these movies lol
I like how you mentioned that the movie is light, yet somehow it's scarier that way. I think it has to do with the fact that since we associate the dark with spooks we tend to feel better/safe when it's light again. However when everything scary happens in broad daylight we don't have that mental safety net. Bad things can still happen when it's light out and you're in a field of flowers. There is no where you can go that will make you feel safe.
Anyway, that's my hot take as to why Midsommar is so scary :D
you just made me cry thanks luv
Bro......my already severe anxiety is freaking out
@@karlmarx2885 np, I do it to myself all the time ;)
A daymare, if you will
i was trying to explain this concept to myself before but you worded it so much better
Nothing is scarier than look at a "normalcy" and knowing somethin' is very very wrong.
That's why bright color pallette things in horror movies freak me out.
Granted I haven't seen many horror movies but it still unsettles me.

everyone commenting on what she missed in this aggressive tone like she’s obligated to notice every single clue and technique upon her first viewing. can ye just look at what we’re doing to the poor girl in terms of scrutiny. she’s a beautiful, charismatic girl and i subscribed solely for her reactions to what she’s watching, not for what she is actually watching. if you want to watch the movie, stop being cheap and rent it or something but leave her alone. you’re ruining it for the people who just want to watch her be herself.
I adore this film and all its imagery but I also love Trin so I agree with you completely! Her reactions are hilarious and I think she was so brave to tough this out for us :)

I love Trin even though I just subscribed two days ago after watching her with Pretty Much It, but she is hilarious and relatable and those people who say otherwise can just leave, literally exit out of the video if you don't like it, it's easier to do than having to type up a whole hate comment...lol

Normal movie reactors: There's symbolism in this movie

the scene where she’s mourning after seeing her boyfriend having ya know, i thought it was beautiful in a sense that they’re not letting her mourn alone “if you’re suffering we’re suffering too and we’re here for you” shown in a dramatic way but still
Amber R. The issue with that is I feel like they’re recruiting her like converting her in their cult by doing that.
Amber R. Yeah, they do that all the time because "family"
Yeah also sure they’re “mourning” with her but they’re also literally the ones that cause her that pain by drugging her bf beyond any hope of actual consent and litteraly forcing him to empregnate the cult girl
Gave me absolute goosebumps. The contrast to her surroundings reacting to her grief in the beginning, and the actual validation of her feelings she experiences with her “sisters” is stunning. S t u n n i n g

Hey Trin! From an old film theory student, just to let you know it's completely okay to like those camera shots. The only time it's okay to criticise someone for their preferences is if they're a student and can't express why they like or dislike something, because then they're missing the academic side of the degree. So don't let anyone make you feel shit about what you like seeing in films.
Saff I’m sorry but is that Mr.JYP 😱
And also taking a film class is so cool. I’m currently doing it and learning so much. Can’t watch a film now without analyzing and dissecting everything. Proves that films are art with motion
It got me so mad when Florence Pugh won no Oscars even though she had this astounding performance and was also in little women. This movie should have been nominated
No. Toni Collette should have won an Oscar for best actor. This bint is terrible by comparison.
Butt Hz A: Toni Colette is a great Oscar but wasn’t even nominated for a movie (a movie she was in was nominated in one category but not her) this year so it doesn’t really matter, Florence was (only for little women sadly) B: If you mean for hereditary I agree, that was award winning but I’m not comparing her to another actress. C: she would technically be nominated for “best actress” not “best actor”
Florence Pugh is so underrated
So true! Florence deserved two nominations. One for best supporting actress (like she got) and another one for best leading actress. It would be amazing if the two black widows were nominated for the same categories.
Btw i was so angry when Laura won. I mean 2019 was Florence's year and Laura didn't do nothing special in Marriage Story. I said what i said.
Diasmc Coelho Adam driver and Scarlett Johansson really did amazing jobs for that movie, but I didn’t think Laura dern did a Oscar worthy job. Should’ve gone to Florence.
Whenever I suggest this movie, I ALWAYS tell the person that it's incredibly important to be in a good head space. I love movies like this (Hereditary and The Witch as well) because you need to pay attention and put the pieces together as you watch, and the endings are always incredible in one way or another. Honestly this is one of my absolute favorite horror movies, even though it took me a full week to recover after seeing it the first time.
I love Hereditary, The Witch, and Midsommar as well! What you described is such an accurate description of why I like them. Do you happen to have any recommendations for other movies in that vein?
I didn't like hereditary at all but I loved Midsommar, it was a great movie.
I agree that you need to be in a good head space, I wasn't when I first watched it and even though I was paying attention it ruined me and I had to take a couple breaks and watch it in stages.
horror movies almost never get nominations, fun fact, in all 92 years there’s only ever been 2 horror movies nominated! the silence of the lambs and get out. it sucks bc hereditary and this definitely deserved and so many other but yeah. horror isn’t really for the GP most of the time so i guess that’s why
they should add a horror genre nomination.
Angel they totally should! i hope sometime in the near future they will but a lot of the judges are older and a majority of older people are against horror movies bc they “promote” violence and that kinda stuff. horror has helped me in my life in too many ways to count so it’s sad seeing some of my favorite movies get no recognition because they’re branded as scary
The Exorcist actually was nominated for Best Picture, and won for Adapted Screenplay and Sound Editing. But yeah it’s a big exception and the Academy ignores horror 99% of the time
Alien is another one that should`ve won some kinda oscar.
Its so true!! for some reason, they have it out for horror. I am a huge horror fan and its sad to see that when a good horror movie comes out they really don't want to give an award for horror, so this just call it a thriller instead because god forbid a horror movie won.
trin is so good at saying things that SOUND like the ramblings of a valley girl but are actually like incredibly insightful. shes like elle woods
it made me sad when she said that people told her she was stupid.
seriously she was saying some really insightful things that i didn’t even notice when i saw the movie she’s genuinely so smart i think elle is a good comparison of her

i'm very skeptical of anyone that's overly nice like that, especially that massive group of people i'd feel like i'd get hate crimed (which is actually a part of it), so i never really got brainwashed. but the amount of people including professionals saying that that was a good ending was genuinely astounding to me.

Nah but legit the most disgusting thing about this entire movie is how her boyfriend acted, that dude straight up sucked
He didn't really deserved what he got tho like goddd
more disgusting than the murder, ritualistic suicide, drugging and torture? Riiiiiiiight.
I love this movie and that there is so much discussion about it. Also, I love it that ALL the characters are morally ambiguous.
Hårgas are a cult and and they wanted Dani to be May Queen. They manipulated the events so that they could advance Christian and Dani to break up.
This is what cults do in real life - destroy old relationships in order to get people in.
This was made possible, because they are BOTH confused, both having their issues and lack of direction. But I'm amazed that people consider Dani innocent...hello, she took part in choosing a human sacrifice, when the morally / ethically choice would to refuse?? It's a horror movie but people are pretty messed up if they don't see that...
I don't think what Christian does can be called "gaslighting" - but he's still being quite spineless and manipulative, but more out of instinct rather than any plan.
Video about Gaslighting and Midsommar:
th-cam.com/video/82_cZO-XvuU/w-d-xo.html
Who is acting out of a plan, are the Hårgas. They want to break-up Dani and Christian. They create the environment where he feels like an outsider, and she feels like she belongs there.
This is a point I haven't seen been mentioned often: when they make Dani choose the final sacrifice- in what condition is Christian? Unable to SAY ANYTHING.
Dani is angry at him, justifiably, but at a man who the Hårgas have made paralyzed and unable to speak. And they want Dani to be freshly heartbroken, so he would pick Christian- because doing so, she is made accomplice to the killing. That's her TRUE FINAL RITE into the Hårgas. Not the fabricated theatre of May Queen crowning, but making her take active part in choosing sacrifices.
In that moment, she's liberated, but also insane. Is Christian a shitty boyfriend? Yes. Should they break-up? Yes. Should Dani choose a sacrifice? No.
She should have either picked the Hårga man or flat-out refuse to choose ANYONE as a sacrifice. People idolising Dani somehow seem to overlook this lol. "You go girl, be held and find a new home, take part in human sacrifices!"
Is a new side shown out of Dani in the end? Yes, but it's partly because she's gone insane. The original script literally describes the smile as insane, as liberation that the insane only can feel.
She has lost everything and she's made to choose a sacrifice- a sacrifice that she's also being manipulated into.
And she is now in the control of the Hårgas after that. She's taken part into their murders.
The suit made out of flowers is a perfect metaphor: they shower her with love, but wanting to imprison her. She's so overwhelmed with the flowers it's hard for her to move.
They welcome her "home", because as the only blond female of the group, she's the perfect baby making machine for their blood lines. A pregnant woman has more trouble to escape as well.
And this is why I love this movie even more than Hereditary: it's even more psychological, doesn't require supernatural aspects- and it's core strength is at what is IMPLIED even more than what is actually shown. That is powerful.
NEITHER Dani or Christian are innocent. Neither are they guilty. They are lost, confused pawns and neither find any true liberation in the end. One loses his life, one loses their soul, sanity and individuality. There's a chance she will adjust but that is left open.
I think it's a perfect ending to a horror movie. The character that has lost the most, has also become part of something truly sinister.
hibakusha0 I agree with everythinf you said
@@SoWhosGae it's all supposed to be symbolic lol. just a visual representation of what it's like to endure heartache. so basically nothing is and none of them are real, they all symbolise something that goes thru our mind when we are in pain. like.... this movie isn't saying drugging and killing someone is worse than cheating lol.

Trin Lovell it does seem like it Should be considering everything else in the movie. a lot of people said that part always feels like it doesn’t fit completely in the movie but I think it was just so Dani wouldn’t have a family so she would be more vulnerable to the cult 🤷🏼♀️
@@LovellTrin i just realized the original comment said "Trin" but I read Dani omg. Lol in ur defense it never outright says the sister did it but the context clues of Dani mentioning her sister's mental health & then her worrying over emails are the context clues.
Yeah, "Midsommar" totally triggered me in theaters. I'm actually glad someone else felt as disturbed as I did. I think you should watch "Us" since it's actually fun and interesting, a fantastic follow-up to "Get Out." Plus if you think "Midsommar" was snubbed (I agree- Production Design alone was amazing), just watch Lupita Nyong'o in "Us." That's a Best Actress snub that will be felt forever.
YES! Us is more like creepy suspense in that sense of reminding you of things you're scared of when you're a kid and that feel uncanny when you're grown up. And Lupita is always amazing

The movie was definitely a dive into the occult. It was actually interesting how many people next to me didnt really react to alot of the movie..... I've seen alot of stuff like this through my research but I was jumping in my seat from sheer discomfort
Yeah, but "US" is just a stupid movie.
us is an amazing movie and if any of you guys watch filn theory... wow the theory about it being about the American dream is amazing too
i've been terrified to watch this movie by my self, so i'm going to *sorta* watch it here
hahaha same im honestly so glad she blurred most of it out. my eyes cant take that
It’s not scary but it is very disturbing.
I get scared pretty easily but I found this to be much more tame then Hereditary which was directed by the same guy . It's on Amazon prime for free
Honestly same, I'm a scaredy cat and unless I know the whole plot and can't be jump scared I won't watch a horror/suspense movie, and this one, like, NO ONE WOULD DESCRIBE IT TO ME
I don’t think I would be allowed to watch it so...
Interesting that Dani wins May Queen by being the last woman standing, and she’s also the last one left standing in the movie as well.
Trin clocked swedish dude immediately!!! 😂😂😂 He opened his mouth and she said nah
goldenoceans14 its was obvious that he was gonna be a big part from the beginning tbh..
i mean he was sketching the table with all the dirty stuff and the food if that doesn't scream psycho...
@@Wyvernn2000 I mean yeah lol if you know what the movie is about you immediately side eye Mr. OH COME VISIT MY FAMILY IN SWEDEN :))!!
@@Jaelmarcos 😂😂😂
goldenoceans14 it was my first thought when i saw it the first time😂 honestly i only saw it for the cinematography and loved it. My grandma dragged me to see it for the plot😂
I felt so bad when you said you felt so stressed and you wanted to cry :( please don't feel pressured to continue a movie just for the reaction if you don't feel good ! take care
the girl's sister committed suicide and killed her parents alongside herself. that was disturbing and selfish and upsetting as eff.
I honestly don’t think it was her, I think it was Pelle (idk if it’s spelled right) who killed them bc when they arrived at the Hårga they only hugged her, and another thing that made me skeptical was that beside her dead mother’s bed there was a flower crown on the girl’s picture. I personally think it was all planed out by Pelle. It’s almost obvious bc of the way he talked to her like it was bound to happen
When I first saw it it threw me so off cause I thought it was gonna be connected to the cult but then it ended up being so unrelated
Tamara Pecipajkovski nah. It was all random. Pelle planned nothing... he didn’t even know her, and she was not part of the trip to begin with.
Rodrigo Hernán Miño I kinda disagree with that, I think bringing his friends to Midsommar was his plan. Especially her for some reason. I feel like it was a subtle manipulation by him knowing that Dani’s bf wouldn’t let her be alone. Think like this, remember when Dani went to her bf’s and his friends place, and she talked with Pelle on the couch? His face expression was way off when he mentioned her dead family. When they arrived to Midsommar they said “welcome” to everyone but to Dani they said “welcome home”. I might sound way off but that’s just my theory hehe and there’s symbolism everywhere
@@visualsbyTP he didn't know her nor her sister. Also her sister's suicide was weirdly specific and it took a lot o screentime for something that really meant nothing
The fact that she had to re-watch it to edit....she's a real one.
She is a keeper!
i wished i knew about *that* scene before i decided to watch the movie with my family
Same oh my god, I saw it in theaters with my whole family and died on the inside
Which THAT scene? Pretty much every scene could be described as THAT scene.
@@y2k1noel the long ass sex scene
It was both awkward and funny asf.
I watched it with my mom and we were just laughing.
This is more of a horror as in horrifying events happen then a scary one
milie jones yeah, even Ari Aster (the director) said it was like a breakup movie with horror elements rather than a scary movie.
Is not really scary movie imo
Cause theres like no monsters
@@taetm8868 just cause a movie doesn't have monsters doesn't mean it can't be scary
@@taetm8868 it's a horror movie it doesn't mean It's a scary movie
This movie is probably one of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen.
The scenes where they all wail together reminds me of that one vine where this person pushes down on a lot of rubber chickens and they all wail and its hilarious to me
That's the scariest part of the movie. Scary as in so obnoxious I want to stay away from this movie
This made me laugh harder than it should have probably:P
I get you there, but I honestly found those scenes to be EXTREMELY uncomfortable and unsettling. Like, the idea of other people thinking they can feel my pain makes me so angry and seeing that whole group do that to her...ugh. So stressful.
You should do Cats next. We can all be freaked out and laugh together.
James Sharp cats is not even that bad.
MaddieMae u sure about that?
Baktiar Noman of course, some people can have opinions
O MY GOD YES
Good Idea. I didn't even think of it
28:08 fun fact, he actually says "we don't cut the intestines because then the poop will come out" but they didn't want to subtitle that i guess
If you rent the movie on youtube, they subtitled it with that! Laughed my ass off when I read it!
The really went “We don’t want that shit”
This movie filled me with so much dread the entire time. The contrasting dark feeling but light color scheme of the film made me so on edge and the trip scene was too real, just one bad thought and BOOM, you're spiraling into paranoia and fear. The music playing throughout it was still stuck in my head days later. Scariest movie I've ever seen too girl. I had nightmares lmao.
13:18 ættestup is an old viking tradition. basically the old people who werent in shape to work anymore jumped off a cliff to their deaths. they were told that they would go to heaven if they did it, while in reality it was to not waste any more recources on them. so as a scandinavian, once i heard him say ættestup i pretty much knew what was gonna happen :((
Same here, I immediately was like 'oh no, here we go'
@@witchessential8619 "helvete si sverg de skal hoppe av et stup neineinei trin du vet ikke hva som skal skje men jeg sier deg allerede du må se bort" - tankegangen etter at han sa ættestup
@@LottaKornelia Im not scandinavian myself (maybe very distantly) but Im familiar with Vikings and their old practices. So seeing the Blood Angel and hearing ættestup, im glad I knew what they meant and where it came from. But I do get the rough translation of what you just said :)
@@witchessential8619 ahahahha nice
I'm not Scandinavian but I looked it up and took me 3 hours to gather the courage to continue the movie
2 things. 1, the end where he feels pain despite the “medicine” shows the people that volunteered that the cult lied all along, showing to their own that everything they believed was fake and they were dying for nothing. 2, when she’s wearing the massive may queen gown my ass could not stop thinking CAN YOU IMAGINE THE SPIDERS HIDING IN THAT SHIT????
I know!! Can you imagine all of the bugs??
do you think that's what the old man was thinking too? when he jumped and didn't die instantly, he felt pain.
chatchi also pain in hell
Christian had a bear-y bad time on his trip to Sweden.
this is a highly underrated comment
@@joshuaquetel2781
GET OUT OF HERE TEDDY
STOP THIS IS SO FUNNY
Too soon the chills
“I’m scared and I feel weird” is such an accurate description of what watching this film feels like.
*watches this instead of the actual movie because I'm to scared*
I’m reading the comments because even watching this video makes me scared, but I still wanna watch this movie.
@@bobdiddlebock6018 it’s not really scary there’s no jump scares or anything it’s just really disturbing
@@bobdiddlebock6018 same
@@bobdiddlebock6018 whats worse is that, it's one of those movies you have to see twice in order to fully appreciate it lol
Same
how did u make a glee reference while watching midsommar omg that’s talent honestly
Tbh the moment she started singing raise your glass, i thought of when blaine sang it😂
When they said "They respect the incest taboo", it means that they respect those who choose not to partake in incest, it isn't forced. (still really gross if you ask me)
I just googled the cliff scene and I am so glad you blurred it and your right some things can’t be unseen
Honestly, Glenn’s death scene from The Walking Dead seemed like cuddling a cute kitten in comparison to the cliff scene from Midsommar.
Thank you for confirming for me that I will never EVER watch this movie. This is just too much for me
Yeah, I was like "well, I'm glad I kind of watched it but had it censored and didn't get the full WTF impact from watching it from the beginning." But then again, I wish I hadn't. Bad idea.
I watched this movie because I wanted to watch this video without getting spoiled and hod do I regret that decision
Sophi e lol i watched this for the same reason. I think it was very disturbing but not so scary.
All ari aster movies are a WTF
I regret clicking on the video but at the same time I need to finish it because I will be wondering what happened. 😫😫
that picture at the beginning of the movie tells the whole plot. that's good filmmaking
trin: she has a beautiful nose
florence pugh as amy in little women: i hate my nose
“She has a beautiful nose, oh my gosh it’s so cute!”
Exactly what I said lmao
The scene where they’re all screaming together is actually quite psychologically powerful. They are all grieving together sharing their pain. This movie explores invasive thoughts in out deepest psyche. Quite powerful... Being left alone... having no family.. being dealt with grief alone....
PillowPrincess to me i wouldve told them to shut the hell up cuz its creepy as hell
I find it to be actually disturbing because you can see how the women around her were just mimicking her and slowly indoctrinating her into the cult. This fantasy of sunlight, flowers and dances are just a trick.
its not powerful at all it’s just straight up freaking creepy 😭😭😭
It's lovebombing. It's disturbing and creepy. They are just pretending.
@@DrGregoryHouseIT nah. it's not pretending. as shown in the ättestupa scene, the members of the cult all feel each others' pain and strong emotions. dani was told all this time to stop being sad, to repress the feelings and stop being dramatic. the girls however don't tell her to stop, they cry with her and share the pain, which is incredible to dani as nobody has symphatised with her before that. they are in a way welcoming dani into the cult by showing her that they feel what she feels.
Listen: I watched this movie during a work retreat in Sweden!!! they took us to this rural area called bommersvik with cottages and in a forest with a lake the same aesthetics of the movie! It was suggested to me as a good movie to watch on IMdB... me in October at night watching this movie in a swedish rural area amongst people talking a language that I don't understand!!! I was not able to sleep and I had to keep the lights on... My cottage was the nearest to the forest in the back of all cottages!! perfect for being a sacrifice to swedish pagan gods
Dhaouady Dhaouady after this film you will not catch me anywhere near the county of Sweden or IKEA
@@alondracoronado3352 Ya honestly I dont even trust my swedish cousins now omg. They can stay up there
alondra coronado lol nothing can keep me away from IKEA
its been 6 months...are you still alive? D:
I haven't watched midsommar because I'm literally scared of everything too but i've been so tempted because of the hype so I compromised and watched this video instead. thank you for your service queen
Same here
SAME. I still can’t handle the movie tho 🤢
tbh midsommar wasn't very scary imo at least. there's gore and the murder suicide scene which was really the only thing that freaked me out but i kind of was rooting for the "antagonists" of the movie because the bf and his friends were dickheads lmao. it honestly made me happy for dani at the end since she finally had a community or family that cared about her. i definitely recommend u watch it yourself!!
Sarah Mackenzie you should watch it in full
The thing with cults is that they take members who are extremely vulnerable so that they are more likely to stay with the cult
Yes exactly the more vulnerable you are the more open you are and more suseptible to indoctrination and manipulation
“Whatever, I don’t know. I’m scared and I feel weird. Cool.”
Whole Mood for 2020
Whole mood for my entire life lmao
"Respect the incest taboo" would be an iconic part of a merch line if you ever did one LOL
thats a line from the movie, not from her
