When everyone was greeted at the village, they were all met with “welcome,” however Dani was met with “welcome home.”
noticed that too... it was weird and I thought she was gonna be treated differently
Link for a virus
at least he had more sex than Cruise did in eyes wide shut cult even if he had to get it up by looking at another woman so he could impregnate the troll in front of him.
@@mindfulclarity169 wtf
Good catch!
When Dani had a dream that Christian, Mark, and Josh drove off, leaving her behind..
She was going to be the only of them being left there in the end.
and didnt it look like Mark, who was in the backseat, made some weird jaw dropping expression? It was hard to make out what I saw.
Rodney Little In the dream Mark was laughing at her at the backseat
farhan rafi I also thought Mark was having a freaky, exorcist-ish facial expression *shudders*
Because he was dead already, we witnessed the demon soul he became after him being murdered
That scene was pretty scary tbh.
Correction: Dani isn’t suddenly able to speak swedish during the mayqueen dance. She becomes able to communicate with another girl speaking jibberish as is said in a conversation between the two.
Yeah as a Swede I couldn't understand a thing
I thought that was a very accurate of shared mental space in a psychedelic trip.
@Lost and Dearly Departed I think the constant daylight serves that purpose.
Thank you for saving me from making this comment 👍 it's complete jibberish, just a connection through psychedelics and dance
You're right.
the creepiest thing about this movie is how accurate the drug hallucinations appear to the viewer. I’ve never seen anyone get closer to the real experience, which makes the events horrifying to imagine experiencing them while tripping hard
Even down to how the music and atmosphere played a role not just the visual accuracy
Me who's a very curious lil sht: what if i watch this film while on lsd or shrooms hmmm
My brain: how about NO
😂
This was the first thing I thought as well. Most movies portray trips as funky hallucinations and a bunch of bright colors. As soon as I saw how the trees moved and the flowers breathing, I was pretty blown away. I have never seen it represented so accurately.
The table food moving is fucking me up lmao
Ya they did get the tripping right, Taking Woodstock is the only other movie that I've seen that shows very accurate visuals of an LSD trip
This movie is an acid trip at the worst possible festival
Coachella
fyre festival
@Alexander Supertramp Fyre Festival LMAO
watch climax kiddo
you mean mushroom trip
Movie description: after a woman loses her family in a tragic accident, she finds a new home that greets her with loving arms
Virtua Fighter I think that was the point of the comment . Lol.
Her family's death wasn't an accident though.
Doom Cupcakes
In the script Dani lives in NY and her parents live in Minnesota. Plus Pelle was at the pizza joint on the night they died.
@@Smoove_J what I mean is her sister killed them.
Youd eat if the yew tree too. Those old foreigners running the cult have all them fooled
did no one notice the period blood in christian's cup at the same time he had pubic hair in his pie. it was according to that painting shown as they all enter the village.
Yeah I did too. To that note, she isn't getting pregnant if she was on her period.
u770017 what..?
@@Maria-tl9lw She was on her period then she had sex with him in hopes of getting pregnant.
Kya Be yes! His were a little red compared to everyone else’s. 😬
u770017 you can get pregnant regardless of wether your on it
The part where they're dancing and she starts to understand and speak Swedish was low-key disturbing as hell to me, for some reason.
Its gibberish actually, not swedish 😂
@@tatianafarnsworth7434 it makes sense that she was tripping lol
Right
I thought it was cool because it makes you think is this how languages were created? Most likely people would trip balls on mushrooms then come up with a new way of communication.
Early, drunk germans: *looking at trees* „hehe, Baum“
Coachella looks different this year
Ben B I think Midsommar, even with the sacrifices, is far more appealing than a second at Coachella.
Does it?
@@nixa7038 i mean coachella was cancelled bc people would be at a bigger risk of dying so maybe it isnt that different lmaooo
CI’m
It’s a bunch of people getting high and acting like lunatics nothing has changed
“my parents burned up in a fire”
*_they were sacrifices_*
how would that be possible if the ritual takes place every 90 years
knightkal oh u right
@@knightkal The final part only. The rest is yearly.
I think he just made it all up to get closer to Dani in her most vulnerable state. He was obviously lying in other scenes as he knew what was goin on the whole time
What if the elders are actually his parents
I also noticed at the beginning of the movie when Dani was laying on either the couch or her bed that there was a huge painting of a bear above her. I just thought that was crazy since her boyfriend was put into a bear at the end
No doubt! And in the painting it had a little girl with a crown looking at the bear... the foreshadowing in this shit is crazy.
Cloudsurfin Skywalkin exactly! I noticed that too, and it obviously makes a lot of sense in the end where Dani is mayqueen, and Christian is inside the bear...
Just a little foreshadowing for the audience. Rewatching the film again will make you see little details you did not notice before.
your pfp tho 😂
I knew I wasn't the only one who felt the image of the bear in the painting would be something important to the story.
Didnt anyone notice how one flower with a black hole in it moved like it was "breathing" when Dani got her big flower crown? That was disturbing
I noticed that! I was so confused , like why is this flower moving
i saw it’s supposed to interpret her heartbeat
Even their food was moving lmao
took the moving flowers and food and such as what SHE was seeing/feeling considering that she was totally mushroom tranked for the whole sha'bang. alll of them were. that being said, also...heartbeat in time with the earth and all that.
When you take mushrooms it makes everything look like it’s breathing, you can also notice it throughout the entire movie if you pay attention especially when they first drink the mushroom tea
Homie had the worst post nut clarity moment in the history of mankind.
LMFAO
Guilherme Almeida im experiencing that rn and using this video to distract myself.
i'm your thousandth like! btw i think that scene was actually drug rape? but idk.
@@agatamaziarska8946 Definitely rape... although he drank the drugs himself... btw, are you Polish (American)?

I’m still mad the old guy completely missed the rock after jumping off the cliff smh he had one job

Lmfaoo
Blair Assani yooooooo 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Totally agree with you! Like go head first old man 🤦♀️
Yeah really weak form on that dive. I give it a 2/10
Having a hard time realizing people watched this all together in a big theater
Elle R Ikr? Watching this curled up in a blanket on my shitty quality laptop was enough to make me tear up lmao
Elle R I saw it in theatre 😭. Craziest part is that I watch it without ever seeing the preview. I came in totally blind and I loved it
Saw it in the theater. Actually, saw the director's cut. My friends and I walked out of the theater traumatized lol
My friends and I were silent for 15 minutes after we walked out of the theater lmao
_ Mel _ i don't know why it wasn't sad or anything but I kept tearing up
“christian cheating” is a very funky way of saying “drugged and raped”
Not gonna lie, that fact is completely glossed over and treated like he deserved it. It’s irritating
Right?! And she clearly sees that there is something seriously wrong and just leaves him.
@@deeleigh1626 which was wrong, but he abandoned her when she needed him too.
@@liv2158 but that doesn't exuse anything though?
@@lilianag7092 Not quite. The cult excuses it, but Dani didn’t know he was drugged and coerced into having sex with Maja. From her perspective, it looked like he was cheating when she caught him in the act. Also, it was his choice to drink the beverage he took. He had a thing for Maja from the beginning, and he took a hard look at her before drinking a beverage he knew would “break down [his] defenses.” He wanted to have sex with her, and he presumed that Maja made the drink for him so that they could do it.
I don’t think they were actually speaking swedish, I think the drugs made her feel like she was speaking a universal language through gibberish.
Yeah, it wasn't Swedish. (I understand Swedish)
Like most druggies, they were talking gibberish.
also i noted if she didn’t take the tea at the beginning her tolerance later on would be the slightest bit greater, allowing her to become may queen and surviving.
All swedish characters were speaking swedish except for when dani understood them
yeah thats what it said in the script
Okay, the best scene in this movie is when Christian asked the old guy what’s going on, and the old guy just clapped in his face, and Christian started to cry. Lmao!
"Why did you do that" hahah
Init 😂😂😂 that had me in tears
There are better scenes, but I did like that part.
LMAOOOO “ whyyYyyy DiidD you do that??!?” And begans to cry 😭
Ikr he totally missed that lol
midsommar be like: treat your girl right or else the cult will
Lmao underrated comment

@@mikaylawilliams5913 umm I can you please rephrase that sentence
Do you mean he got turned into a shirt
Bruh, am I the only one that was just in a deep, silent, “what the fuck is going on”, type of state? Like I was just silent for the last 30 minutes, just in awe like, what the fucking is happening? 😂😂
Me too! Oh my gosh I just sat in silence for the whole time they were getting the sacrifice ready in the end until the end credits came on.
fucking same
Yup 2 hours of my life I won't get back~ some weird disturbing boring shit.
Dead silent over here lol all I could do was stare! 😮
I've never seen a movie like this. Nothing scary about it. Just really fucking disturbing. Just one long sweaty fever dream. I don't even know if I like it or hate it lmfao
I found it quite a feel good film tbh
Watch anti christ
Watch the Witch. Way more unsettling
@@Amazing.millie omg, antichrist was an unsettling piece of work
long sweaty fever dream... have you seen 'I'm thinking of ending things' already?
Scariest part was were Christian was tripping, asked the man to help him and he clapped in his face. Sounds flat but the level of anxiety I felt in that moment is unmatched, it reminded me of how sad bad trips can be....
It was manipulation. They all started ignoring/rejecting him except the girl they wanted him to fuck. They herded him to her.
420 Friendly Lol you fail at your username. I’ve seen a number of people puzzled by that scene, you’re trying too hard to look smart. Work on your confidence issues instead of lashing out.
@@Hodoss what?
The scariest for me was the first trip they had with Dani under the tree. I had a similar bad trip when i had to talk myself into relaxing. Anxiety is no joke trust me and worse with drugs.
This part was not scary 😐
I kinda like the communal shared emotions thing when they comforted Dani, it makes sense thematically. Like she finally got the comfort and understanding of her feelings that Christian and his friend group never gave her.
It's almost good for a person like her to be in a community like that. She's a complete mess and those people thrive on the structure of cults.
@@ashm2338 Cults target the scarred, people in grief, at a crossroads- They make easy targets. Cults manipulate and coerce the vulnerable into their grasps. It's rather sad.
If you haven't heard of 'Jonestown' should check it out.
it felt pretty manipulative to me. They're the ones who pushed it to happen in the first place.
i think it was all just a manipulative tactic, according to florence pugh when dani smiled it wasn't just because it was a cathartic moment of acceptance but dani was just so far gone by the end of the whole thing. the cult as most cults do successfully took someone who was unstable and vulnerable to be apart of them, it was sort of similar to hereditary in a sense that whatever became of them didn't come naturally, it was orchestrated by a bigger group to slowly put a strain in relationships and drive individuals into death and or insanity.
Ash M she’s a mess because her whole family just died and her boyfriends an asshole...
Let's give kudos for this movie for using the Neverending daylight as an horror element, and to create an unsettling feeling without relying on jumpscarses and the night.
The only time we saw night we knew to separate it from reality
But what about when (sorry i forgot his name) that one guy went to take pics of their holy book or whatever in the middle of the night??
I kinda thought the never ending light was part of the lack of control. Not that the cult is doing it but that element leans into confusion and lack of awareness like we literally see the first time Dani wakes up.
Ngl I would’ve been gone the second I saw the community; since when has a large group of white people dressed in white robes, in a field ...with torches ever been a good sign? 👀
Kkk
Period
it had to be the white people 😔✊
Cough coughkkk cough
THATS WHAT I THOUGY
Don’t you hate it when you go looking for new IKEA furniture, but all you get is sacrificed.
Glass Lemonade this is going on reddit 😂
Maybe in the SCP infinite ikea
That's just every Sunday for me
Glass Lemonade jo det är rätt jobbigt så man för se till att gå dit på eftermiddagen för de är förmodligen klara med sina offergåvor då
Shut up
Christian is not only a bad boyfriend but he threw his friends under the bus as well
She was hard work to say the least.
Tbh I felt that Dani is just as bad of a girlfriend
They are all terrible people, they all deserve to die.
Ash Hoque how tho
Ash Hoque his asshole-ness made her careful around him. she never did anything wrong, he's just emotionally unavailable and you can't really blame her
The people that Pelle and his brother brought are not random friends but carefully selected. Pelle's brother brought two people meant to be sacrificed. He didn't like them so to speak. He thought he was dating her and then rejected him for another guy. He then decided to befriend both of them and bring them to midsommar. Pelle also carefully selected his friends. Christian was considered early on as a possible mate for his sister (I think she was his sister). We can see this when we first see the girl, she is looking at a mirror and tries to ready herself for something. She and Christian has never met before then.
omg you're right, I forgot about that part where pelle's brother was talking about how he met his friends
Pele definitely scouted Dani. Cults often look for vulnerable people because they're easily manipulated. He must've gotten his rocks off in excitement when he heard about Dani and then what happened to her family.
Good catch thank you. You're the only one I've seen bring this up so far
@@toleble7301 He also scouted Christian, when they were at the bar teasing him about getting the "waitress pregnant now", Pele said "or you could get a Swedish girl pregnant."
Also him mentioning at the bar that there will be hot girls there to seduce or date
First horror movie that mostly happen during the daytime.
does it still count as daytime if it's past 9pm?
It ain't tho? This is inspired by a few daytime horrors that came a long time before it, with similar plots.
Fifteen 4 in the movie they said it was at 9pm when they were on a trip
You are forgetting "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"
This is not horror. If it is it's terrible horror
I liked just how accurate the mushroom trips were. Director clearly has experience in this department
David Crooks I thought the same thing. It’s probably the most accurate depiction I’ve seen on film.
Only people that have done psychedelics can notice this, it's an experience you can try to explain but only if you live it you would truly understand it.
Daniel Rodriguez which is why it’s great to see it so accurately represented in a movie. “Shits just uhhh shit changes”
Yes, almost as a bad trip as "Annihilation". Makes one sweat.
Really? Now I'm tempted to try it..
this movie wasn’t near a scary as i thought it would be, more disturbing than anything
I don’t think it was meant to be scary, you being disturbed was the whole point to it
It was hella boring. Felt like an effing documentary about pagan rituals.
Humayra Faizah i think that was the point. dany's boyfriend and his friends were anthropologists doing their thesis ethnographies on midsommar, so i think the movie was supposed to give a somewhat objective view of the culture and make you experience it along with the main characters.
the only scary part was her nightmare that her boyfriend and his friends left her. That really gave me anxiety lmfao
It’s not even disturbing it’s just plain shit and boring
I just realized that every time Dani has a panic attack she runs and hides and doesn't that just say so much about how Christian made her feel??? then at the end Dani is not only accepted but encouraged to share her emotions. .. I know they're a cult but damn, where can I get some support like that???
... Hopefully not in a cult. Yeah and when she wants to leave, Pelle stays with her and comforts her, literally doesn't let her leave
@@v1olante true. it toes the line of "aw he won't leave her alone" and "damn he really won't leave her alone".
When they were sobbing with her after she saw him having sex with that one girl i was like dayum the support
@Pratishtha Khari yeah, they didn't even try that hard to stop Dani from seeing something that will undoubtedly traumatise her, that they also arranged. It's all manipulation :/
@@whackink yeah that was my thinking. Pelle reminds me of the tale when sun and wind competed. They wanted to see who can take off a traveler's jacket first. The wind blew hard to try to yank the jacket from the traveler, but the traveler only clung to it harder. The sun did things a little differently, it slowly and gently heated up the traveler, so the traveler took the jacket off willingly. Pelle and the cult are the sun in this scenario, they manipulate under the guise of care and good will
Just to include, I also noticed the scene where Dani dreamed being left by his boyfriend and his friends in the middle of the night. At the end I realised that it was sort of a symbolism that she will be the only one left among the travellers.
Yeah I just finished that now and I thought the same thing, before the guys in the car were laughing and happy and she was unhappy and crying but it was the reverse at the end of the movie
These are the worst kind of dreams
Foreshadowing this event happening
And in the car you only really see Mark’s face and he gets his face removed
There's so many foreshadowing of her friends leaving her
When Dani was sobbing and the other ladies were yelling with her, it looked like she was giving birth.
Or at least, a birth was occurring.
Rachel Ann Taylor that’s exactly the idea I’d got too. She goes into labor pains throughout the movie.
Technically it's Dani being reborn. The scene is supposed to be the culmination of her grief and her finally letting everything out.
i think of it more as "breathing", as Pelle described nature when they first took the psychedelics
prinniesforeveryone no it’s not, you obviously just don’t understand the meaning of the scene?
kate beth lol or we can just agree to disagree. It’s up to everyone how to interpret,
*Mark pees on tree*
Everyone: so you have chosen death
Yeahhh hes basically choosing death 😂
they were going to kill them anyway.
LOL! Nice to see I'm not the only person who thinks guys are crude and disrespectful for peeing on trees, having grown up with lots of outdoorsy guys around. You're spraying your foul smelling uric acid & salts (poisonous to most plants) onto a living thing. I do tend to draw the line a bit before human sacrifice though.
@@eakinnally well wild animals do it too so why not not so wild animals huehue
@@eakinnally animal urine can kill plants, i know my dog's pee can, he has a patch of grass he loves to go on and he's killed it.. so should we be mad at dogs? Seems like a kind of standard that's unreasonable.
I think it’s very ironic how when Dani broke down, all these villager women broke down with her in solidarity but it was essentially because of them that she was breaking down in the first place. I think the ending definitely means that these rituals consumed her and she had nothing left to lose and the only way she’d survive is if she surrendered herself completely to the cult and “embraced” it.
She seems easily coerced which is why I think it was difficult for her to leave the relationship especially with how vulnerable and alone she was. Always pointing the blame at herself, especially after all the bs Chris put her through by invalidating her feelings. It definitely makes u feel more alone until u have people to ugly cry with ☹️. I think that's why she was satisfied in the end, even though it was fucked up, she was finally in control and surrounded by a family.
When everyone were watching the dance of the girls on the first day, Mark asks what they are playing, Pelle say it’s Skin the fool and that’s how Mark ends.
Actually, Simon asked, not Mark.
That's how one of the little boys ended. I just thought it was a strange trannslation from Swedish to English ... gosh, I didn't know where that movie was going at this point.
Mark became the stuff scarecrow, Simon got skinned
@@Alicesqueaks mark was skinned and stuffed (when Josh is taking pictures of the sacred text done someone wearing his skin distracts him), Simon was turned into a blood eagle (Christian finds his body hanging in the chicken coop)
Just a warning, do not google blood eagle.
Am I the only one who gets a Charlie and the chocolate factory feel? like how there were multiple people that each made a different mistake, resulting in one last person?
Omg-
What do you get when you piss on the tree
Where all the ancient ancestors be?
Where are you at, don't photograph that
What do you think will come of that
I don't like the look of it
It's just a silly mashup of many things. The Wicker Man, Shirley Jackson's The Lottery, the Midsommar festivity, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, etc. Who knows what else. Hollywood just puts random shit in a blender to see what happens.
@leonardo h Population 436, you forget that movie..Im so happy people recognize this is nowhere close to oringinal now ..Writers just copying along w/ putting there flare and a twist (maby)in it.
OMG YES
Horror does not have to be scary. It can be dark, disturbing, shocking, bizarre, it has to make you feel something. Scared can be one of those feelings.
Yes!! So true!
And in BROAD DAYLIGHT. This film is a masterpiece.
Ari aster even said this wasn't a horror movie. Which makes it that much more brilliant.
I've seen versions of this comment over and over again in the comment section and am very confused. how is this movie not scary? the other additives describe it well, too, but I don't see how the word scary can't be used as a descriptor
@@marleyf8230 I mean, I guess it depends on how people feel about horror. I can say in the U.S. at least, we consider horror usually to be more obvious and dark and generally monstrous. I personally consider this a horror movie and think it's scary in a psychological way. Scary/disturbing.
anyone notice how the cult always mimics the sounds or emotions that another member is feeling. when the elder man didn’t die from the fall of the cliff and started groaning, the whole group started groaning too. same with the girl moaning and the other women following, and the same when dani starting wailing and the girls did the same.
yes i did notice that, they usually do it to kind of relate or become one with whoever is in pain or is experiencing some new feeling
Or block out the suffering of those suffering (like how they said you won't feel any pain to the 2 guys in the yellow building when being burned and no one could hear them scream)
Anyone notice? That's an incredibly obvious, large part of their cultural practice. Id be confused if someone didn't notice
Yeah its called manifesting. Evil stuff
what i noticed was the parallelism between the orgasmic mimicking of the sex sce e and the sorrowful mimicking the women do with dani.
Imagine Pelle telling his children, that's how I met your mother.
There is something very underrated about this comment
Abid hasan Zidane I ship it.
Omg for real
I’d so watch a skit of that.
Right considering his parents died from a “fire” *no context included* 😂
The fact that no one even really cared that the first 2 friends disappeared lmao
Dani did but they brushed her off
i mean i was kinda glad that they did those two were soo annoying
To be fair, dani did ask about them multiple times
@@v1olante She asked more about Simon and Carey(?) then Josh and Mark
Dani cared, but Christian, Josh, and Mark were too foolish and self-absorbed to read into it.
As a swede, this is definitley how we handle our swedish holidays
Bu5tedB3cky can I be the guy that take somebody virginity around a bunch of naked girls next summer? But with less drugs and not killing me
I wondered how Swedes would like this movie lol. I figured they’d just think this is how Americans think they all are haha. We don’t think that btw. It’s just a good movie.
tsdekiel sellers sorry, that part kinda comes with the drugs and killing
DannyDSculptor i think its hilarious
@@bu5tedb3cky fuck it, sign me up. Sex and shrooms and in the end, set me on fire. Going out blazed asf
As somebody who lives across the street from a funeral home, i'd like to point out that that crown at the end is made entirely of _grave site flowers_ . Definitely ominous foreshadowing since no other May Queen is seen during the movie's entire run.
Christian looks like a love child between Chris Pratt and Seth rogan
Smarsh accccurrrratttteeee
NO. He looks exactly like Willem Dafoe mixed with Ryan Kwantan
Yes
Lovechild
I think he looked like Ed Sheeran
My takeaway from this summary: "Don't piss on the ancestral tree bruh"
fr tho this is really disrespectful they sure have bathrooms in their houses
but haaah they would kill them anyway
Isn't that what the USA is to the American Indians
Matt M native indians*
yam native Americans*
Pel's mum and dad died in a fire. 🤔🤔
Seems they were sacrificed, too.
Rikki Roger Taboclaon DUDE
@@plutonium09 timeline wont approve though. Sacrifices are done every 90 years. His parents cant be that old.
@@rikkirogertaboclaon435 In the movie, it's said that when someone dies, their name is "taken" by a newborn. So him saying "my parents" may not necessarily mean his direct parents, but the parents of his name.
@@rikkirogertaboclaon435 I think it was 19
maddie parks - No it was 90 years. 0-18,18-36,36-54,54-72,72-90. The final stage from 72-90 was death and renewal.
my god i’ve never searched for an ending explained faster my whole life
Its 4 stages of life. Like seasons. Dani is in her 20s she is literally mid summer.
oh shit u right
4 stages of disgusting anti-Swedish/european propaganda.
I'd more think of your 30s as midsummer
Wouldn't she be mid spring? Life ends at 72 for them if i remember right making each "season" 18 years and since the year begins with winter
@@Jayariee Spring is new life - Birth. Winter is Death.

It was pretty funny when the girl helped with thrusting, but still mad fucked up
What about the old lady who pushes him from behind???😵😵😵👵👵👵
I really wished I could've seen this in theatres to witness everyone's reaction to that
I love how Pelle additionally foreshadows what will happen when he tells Dani that his parents died in a fire, but he didn’t feel like an orphan because the commune became his family. (Although his parents’ death does confuse me a bit as the ritual happens every 90 years, so I presume he just made it up? to subliminally get the idea into her head.)
No i think they actually died in a fire just not the ritual one
That or for all we know, they're other seasonal rituals
ngl it was kinda weird seeing chidi from the good place in a movie like this
fiona. Frr omg 😭
Still talking about his thesis
You have no idea
lmao and he looked the exact same too
I kept thinking “CHIDI NO”
One thing for sure. This movie killed Sweden's tourism industry
Poor skargraud brothers
Factsssss to make it worst I got ton friends in sweden
It was mostly filmed in Hungary
Yeah, alot of people are really dumb and think this movie is actually based on swedish culture. Like yeah, the sun is up all the time in real life and we eat food and dance around a pole of flowers, but they could have done something else. We have many interesting creatures in sweden. For example we have forest women that seduces people but have a rotten tree as a back and a tail, she then keeps the men in her forest for eternity(Skogsrå). We also have a man that plays the violin near the water and he will try to drown you but if you give him a black cat he will teach you songs, some of which are cursed (Näcken). We have alot of these and it would be better to just have a movie about our actual culture.
@@archibaldholmer9920 sounds equally horrifying
Yall noticed that Dani's eyes changed color basically every time someone died
imma watch this again and pay attention to that
OMFG...
What does it means tho...
Their eye color wound up looking like grav3yardgirl's deep blue eyes and it freaked me out.
Did she take on the eye color of the person that just died?
"Ending Explained" usually means going in to depth about what the ending meant by analyzing the psychological and developmental arc of the characters and in this case mainly what the cult is.
I felt this didn't brought anything new to me:/
i look for the same thing
I agree with u
Yeah he literally just summarized it the comments did better than he did
@@Kymoraaa exatly what i thought but i didnt wanna complain in the comments.. but this was just a summary ...

The horror elememts were unsettling in this movie but what was really scary to me is the toxic relationship that is waaaayyyyyyy too realistic.
Well this made me cry. It was oddly refreshing and a release for me.

Ernest B his name was 100 percent not Chris but okay. It’s Christian.... now you see why I didn’t understand
Honestly.my friend was saying that Christian looks like seth Rogen and kept telling him I dont see it but 1 hr into the movie he kind of resembled him when he did that lip jaw thing seth does.but then my friend said he also looks like chris pratt.and I told him that that's a stretch.and he said if seth Rogen and chris pratt had a baby hell look like him.i.still dont see it at all.
Jackie Mehoff I mean, Chris is short for Christian, but alright 🤷♂️
At the end, in the yellow pyramid, he gave one guy sap from the yew tree and said "this is so you'll feel no pain". Then he gave a different guy the sap and said "this is so you'll feel no fear". So the guy who felt no fear, could still feel pain.
I could be wrong, but I think I remember seeing the guy with no fear just calmly looked at the one with no pain, while the one with no pain started breathing heavily and looked anxious.
He said "feel no pain" to both of them. (in the english version at least).
@@evegendron-larsen6719no he didnt i watched the english version too
Either way it didn't work, the guy who was feeling pain was definitely feeling fear too.
To me the funniest scene was Dani trying to walk in that insane flower tent she got dressed in at the end. She looked like a huge flower snail, I just totally lost it.
That was pretty humorous.
My reaction was more of a wtf. Your comment though, definitely made me lose it. 💀
Lmao this scene had the opposite effect on me! I got anxious as all hell imagining being trapped in that flower prison while you’re already having a panic response! But she definitely looked like a giant slug haha
I think she was trying to mimic the people "feeling the pain" of going thru the burning in the fire.
Fun fact: it was raining during filming of that scene, so Florence was also a giant tarp. All you could see was a bunch of green, her face, and her coffee cup 😂
Is no one going to talk about the meat pies?
The two elders leap off the cliff.
Siv tells them “we recycle everything”, or similar.
The bodies are burned on a huge brazier.
The next day(?), the women are making meat pies in the building just beyond where the bodies were burned.
The bodies were burnt to ashes and placed in the ancestor tree, as shown in a scene only a few moments after.
I did think this but then I remembered the ashes
No remember all those animals they had around and you can hear them crying out in pain as they're being sacrificed off in the distance… That's when Connie decides to get the fuck out of there
i think the meat pies were made out of connie and her boyfriend, who both tried to leave earlier that day
Harper Ant We do see Connie and Simon‘s bodies at the burning in the end and they clearly haven‘t been made into a pie. I think the main purpose of the scene was 1. to show how Dani started to get integrated more and more 2. to show Maja preparing the special meat pie. I don‘t think the kind of dish prepared holds any real significance in this case. I could be wrong though, you never know.
also, as dani was putting seeds, meat, & egg into the hole in the earth, christian was literally (symbolically lol) doing the same to maya. my friend's & i just watched this & one friend pointed it out 😭
that is crazy - thanks for pointing that out!
Thank you! I was wondering about this.
Dude, mind blown I didn't even catch that.
Mind.Blown.
Holy fuck now this shits just...
After first person disappears:
1 hike as far away you can through woods.
2 find clearing
3 hit S.O.S. button on Garmin InReach
4 Wait for helicopter
The whole film is just “here’s some weird shit, the end”.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
it's deep and have details tho
It’s inspired by ancient Nordic culture. They did capture people to bring new blood, sell as slaves or sacrifice. And the guy suspended with his lungs pulled out his back, that’s a Blood Eagle, they actually did that.
You missed the fine details
@@bruhaentertainment Lol it is not a cinematic masterpiece please.....it's aight.
Wtf when they started crying with her I thought they were mocking her, I would be pissed lmao
Yup me too those crazy bitches
that was one of my favorite parts, its like extreme empathy
i started laughing
i was laughing the whole time in that scene and my sister stared at me at the same time wondering why she's related to me
nady same lol
The guy clapping in Christian's face is an ironic jab at his reaction towards Dani's need for him in her darkest times. "...Why would you do that?" Role reversal. Hilarious and subtle.
wow, i never would’ve thought about that!
It was delightful.😈
omg i didnt think of that
altho i agree that christian is a jerk, HE COULDVE LEFT HER MANY TIMES FOR HIM BUT DIDNT !! thats what the movie wants you to think, that he is a jerk when he's not
@@defensiveninja3419 lol no.
It’s nice to have a horror movie being bright and you can see what happing unlike every other horror movie where it’s so dark you have no idea what’s going on
i don't understand how people are saying that she was needy. Are we not supposed to lean on our partners when we're going through heartache?
Darwin Maheswaran where's your pfp if you're so perfect ?🥺
Darwin Maheswaran you're mean.
he wanted to leave earlier in the movie but she didnt let him.
Right? Also she's seen taking Ativan before she finds out about the death of her entire family, so it's safe to say she had mental health issues beforehand. Partners are supposed to support eachother.
Dude should have gotten rid of this broad & went on the trip with just his boys. She has the worst pants & shorts, they make her bottom look huge which ruined the whole movie for me. He should have told this flatso to kick rocks.
Guys this was about revenge. The man who brought the british couple wanted to get back at them because he liked connie but she liked Simmon. He knew they were going to die and so did pelle. Pelle liked Dani. He hated how Christain, Josh,and Mark talked about her. So to get back at them they were sacrificed on purpose it was a setup . How did they know Josh was going back to take a picture? BECAUSE OF PELLE. That’s why Dani won may queen. THEY FAKED IT.Pelle wanted her and knew she was vulnerable and wanted to get rid of her haters.Plus he was talking shit about christian so when it was time for him to sacrificed he knew she wouldn’t be as sad because he had sex with ole girl and he didn’t want her to begin with.
my thoughts exactly. They definitely brought people out of revenge.
Definitely. Got a bad feeling since Connie brushed off him saying that they dated.
your mind is very large
that makes so much sense. i knew there was something i couldn't put my finger on. this is it
You are so rightttt I didn’t even think about it like that
Can you do Cats when it comes out? Because that is definitely a horror movie
Your a horrible person to recommend that
sans undertale r/woosh
Literally I saw a screenshot of cats before I saw the trailer or even knew it was a thing, and I thought it was from a legit horror movie.
Sparky Boi He got the joke
Sparky Boi Stfu
"Instead of dying of old age pain......."
*BASHES THE HEAD OF A PERSON WHO IS STILL ALIVE*
Ugh when he says “Does he feel like home to you” always gets to me..
ye guys are weak af
dani’s silence after “do you felt held by him” is when we knew she’ll choose to stay
I knew that bitch was apart of this whole ritual sacrifice from the jump but i still choked up when he said that.
It's a really great line both for the film and reality.
He even kiss Dani on her lips when she became may queen. He kissed her.
I can't stand when a movie is over. I want to know what happens next. What is her life like living with them
Lots of sex and lots of bear murder, duh
That and getting anxious and not being able to wait.
The amount of times they push an annoying 70 or 71 year old to their death is probably quite high. ;)
@@thunderpooch haha
@@thunderpooch and drugs! Dont forget drugs.
Basically she lives till she 72 then she dead 💀
the fact that this guy interprets the movie's ending as positive is absolutely mind blowing to me. that's the genius thing about it though, it makes you empathise with her and you don't even realise that this is the most horrific ending possible - her mind is broken and she is literally consumed by their ritual, symbolised in her dress. It's the end of the journey for her - she's been completely indoctrinated, and so has the audience.
its horrifying to know that a major portion of population is susceptible to be brainwashed by a cult.
@@fuk Q-ANON...
And so has the audience? Wtf you mean?
@@aydanscott9871 that, just like the guy who explains the movie in this video, a part of the audience think that her ending as the leader of the cult was a positive thing
Yah it’s fucked
I just want a collab between Ari Aster and Jordan Peele, whatever they make will be legendary.
Oh that would be great wtf ..
you are so right
💳💥💥💳💥💳
I can see a lot of creative clashing
“Hey bro wanna go to a weird festival in Sweden in the middle of nowhere?”
Black guy: nope.
Emilia Shafir and got his head turned into pudding lol
Out of everyone he wanted to go the most for his project lmao
Yeah that comment doesn't really make any sense lol... He was doing his thesis on the commune...
Youngyoungin 111 yeah and he literally knew it was gonna be bad if you watch the actual movie whenever they are talking about the ritual with the elders the guy who took them wouldn’t tell them and Christian asked the black guy if he knew what was gonna happen and he knew but he wouldn’t tell them and he literally never tried to escape despite knowing that they were evil
@@juliedelrio6986 nah, so basically a phrase was said, that the guy already knew, and it was probably a weird ritual or ceremonial thing, but I don't think the black guy thought it would be dangerous or scary, just an adventure. The black guy def didn't think a bunch of bad shit would happen, just maybe weird cult ritual stuff.
I actually think her smile in the end is her transition into madness, completely giving into apathy.
Funny because I have a tattoo of apathetic on my back arm from my MDD
I thought it was because she felt happy that her cheating ass boyfriend got murdered
@@luci8402 What does MDD mean if you don’t mind me asking?
@@iiBandage major depression disorder
the movie was cinematically stunning but still managed to completely disturb me, top marks, but I may never sleep again
I still found Hereditary a more exciting watch.
But god damn was this movie beautiful to look at.
Agreed I felt...Vacant and yet disturbed
gingerels what was the most disturbing thing
Ashlee Brown I think just the overall sense of dread portrayed? Especially as everything was happening in this sunny supposedly idyllic place, it just didn’t match the stereotypical at night horror film. And that made it all the more frightening. (the man splayed apart with his skin peeled open as a ‘blood eagle’ was particularly yucky tho😂)
@@gingerels Definitely! Wow.. that makes a lot of sense.
I don't see anyone mentioning that Chris was clearly paralyzed, they cut his spinal cord to make him quadriplegic.
Oh so it wasn't the dust the old man blew in his face make him paralyzed? Cause I thought that was the thing that caused it.
In which part of the movie was this mentioned?
@@pyrokatarina it was not mentioned. It’s a very logical theory
@@alanasmith4928 that was just to put him to sleep
@@ZenPiggyy the average “proof?” Questioner vs the “i just made it up” enjoyer
One thing I’ve noticed most haven’t mentioned.. That all the non Scandinavian/Northern European looking guests were sacrificed first- you hear one of the elders say ‘we try to keep our bloodlines pure but sometimes we have to bring in outsiders’ .. so Danni and Christian were the only ones really of any use to the cult.
Mark could've been used, but I guess they didn't use him because he's a brunet
@@Fae_van so was Pelle. They had lots of brunettes in their group. A girl was giving Mark attention until he pissed on the tree. They were planning on using him
@@anna93171 pelle was brunet!?!?! I always remembered him blond, like dirty blond, either ways I guess you're right I wouldn't want to fuck someone who disrespected part of my culture anyways.
@@Fae_van one girl show interested in him she was probably going to mate with him until the accident
@@megmikaelson047 yea, well, I guess he shouldn't have been so disrespectful in the first place.
“Hey, what happened to Connie?”
“Oh, she got sacrificed in Sweden.”
Dammit, Connie. You had ONE JOB.
r/onejob
She only had one job
And her one job would be... what exactly? You just spit out cliche memes even when they make no sense and don't fit?
SoLongSidekick not get kill
@@sharmsoobramoney5432 An enema cult? 🤔
i loved how they foreshadowed the pregnancy thing when christian and his friends were at the pub
?
RadicalCentrist-ClassicalLiberal In the beginning of the movie, where one of his friends (I forgot his name) said something along the lines of “you need to get a girl pregnant”
And I oop-
@@ak4me880 thanks. I totally missed that even in retrospective...
Welp. It did end their relationship so I guess he got what he wanted. This must be what, "be careful what you wish for" means.
In the guys' apartment, when Dani talks to Pelle, he seems to be wearing his distinct Midsommar crown already because you can see the plant in the background and it seems like it is on his head. Pelle seems positively charged everytime he sees Dani. I don't know exactly what would happen after the film, but Pelle seems to believe Dani is a perfect addition to his commune family.
(My name is also Josh) When they showed Josh’s leg sticking out of the ground, I leaned over to my friend and whispered “looks like they’re growing a Joshua Tree”
Joe King no u joe
Hah.
God damnit
You just joshing me bruh
YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If anyone tried to "sympathetically cry" with me, they'd get a slap across the head. haha
lol right?
Let me have my own pain!!!
I think the whole group feel emotions and pain in unison. Not sure how but it seems the rituals, the prayers etc all add up to eventually connecting all the souls together hence why at the end when their people were burning in that hut they were all crying out in pain including Dani
Right?!? You may mimic behavior & pretend to feel such empathy. But you don't know me, you can't possibly understand my pain. Just because you dance around & scream doesn't mean you have a clue what it's like to be burned alive. Ugh.
@@razzprince2877 They don't. It's all mimicry.
It would have been so much easier to just break up.
I know!!!!! The whole movie is just unnecessary.
damn it's almost like lack of communication and being afraid to leave a stagnant relationship is one of the themes of the movie or something
The horrors of codependent relationships
@@Whatshername1991 my best friend is in one and i hope she leaves next year to Alabama because she'll realize how unhealthy it was living in his shadow
Huh, actually that may be it
"So, how disturbing do you want this movie to be?"
Director: "Yes."
' DONT PISS ON THE ANCESTRAL TREE BRO, kinda obvious ' 😂
Either way, he was getting his face skinned off, unfortunately for him.
To be fair, he was not told ahead of time what the tree was lol
@@eldudereno204 dude should have walked a little further into ths woods to piss though, its unsanitary that close

Two words to describe this movie "Pastel Gore"
That's purty. I like it.
Thought it was Pube Pie.
“Boring trash”
It's actually "acid trip"
Summertime Murders
Ngl I wasn't warned about this movie before hand, I thought it was a modern remake of Shakespeare's midsummer's night dream, I was wrong and now I'm extremely traumatized
LMFAOO
To be fair, it maybe hard for someone to make Midsummer Nightdream movie in modern era. Last time i remember that movie have too much bike in it
No you didnt

Literally what I thought
When watching the movie my friend just yelled "DO A FLIP!" when the old people jumped 💀

LMAOOO
PLSSSSS
BRO😭
The movie wasn’t scary just extremely disturbing. That’s what sticks with you
Is disturbing not im some levels scary?
So beyond disturbing
It’s not “jump scare” scary. I don’t do jump scare horror, or slasher movies, or anything that just smashes you in the face with “this is scary.” Movies like this are more viscerally terrifying.
I have had dreams about it even weeks after xD
what the heck is your definition of scary lol. to me scary is an umbrella term and disturbing is just a category. I would go as far as disturbing means very uncomfortably scary
I love these types of horror movies. Instead of never ending jump scares like IT 2, they actually made it so the viewers would feel uncomfortable while watching.
legit so much better right!!!!!
Well, to be fair, IT 2 and Midsommar are two very different types of media. Sure they're horror, but they're vastly different. It's like saying "dam, Midsommar really is better than the conjuring huh?"
Of course it is.
Midsommar is psychological horror.
IT is just hollywood horror.
It had one jump scare...the early quick shot of the inbred oracle.
its not scary its really just disturbing to be honest
Same. I'm more into psychological thriller/horror films
there was a painting in dani's room back in her house in the us and it was a picture of a girl wearing a flower crown, standing in front of a bear. foreshadowing?
hmm maybe not foreshadowing but rather that she was destined to end up where she did and why pelle felt such s connection to her, theres subtle clues in her house that do connect her to nature (house plants)
wow never thought of that, you're probably right!
I read this comment about three times, thinking somehow it's connected to the Wicker Man reboot. I like the idea of nick cage being in the bear in the painting so.
consider all the paintings
It was definitely foreshadowing, the director does a lot of this
I just realized that when Pelle told Dani his parents also died in a fire he was foreshadowing the sacrifices for the ritual.
No he wasn't
Dani being the only one who didn't bow at the beginning of the May Queen ritual foreshadows that she would be the last one standing after the dance, and would be crowned!
Nice observation
My sis and I talk about this a lot. That was the first thought I had as well. My sis did not agree. Nice to see someone else saw it as well.
I just assumed she didn't know what the fuck is happening 🤣
The scene where dany and the other village women where screaming together was strangely nice and satisfying?
Yes. It was cathartic, shocking and I kept thinking of how I'm giving this a ten on IMDb.
I thought the movie did such a good job of building up empathy with Dani to the point where hearing her express it was such an incredible relief; throughout the beginning she was working so hard to suppress her grief and hold it all in, even the sound of it, even thinking about it now just breaks my heart.
@@elizabethtangora4353 Even more because previously she isolates herself to cry. She is always alone with her pain, except for that scene. Finally she is not alone
ya, that scene took me out of the movie and I really was in wonder and awe :)
I genuinely thought they were mocking her.
This was just a summary, I was hoping he’d go more in depth into the ancient paintings, symbolism, etc. But maybe that’s just me!
Tbh I totally agree with you
Because it was meant to be just a summary, like all the videos on his channel.
Yeah, where did Astor get all this? What's it related to and how much of it is non-fiction?
Exactly. I expected mote from this vid. Shitty channel
Kono hetare yaro I mean the title does say summary and ending explained if you were expecting a deep analysis search that rather than a story summary.
