Awesome commentary, but I gotta admit the funniest part was how mid horror movie your daughter came in to give you a totally separate heart attack. “ Hey guys quick FYI, I can scale the furniture now. Also y’all got some snacks in here?“😂. Kid’s a pro.
It really was the best part of the video, and it should be said this is in the top two reactions to this movie (the other being Amanda Miquelena’s reaction). It’s a very entertaining and intelligent reaction, but the kid stole the show.
i was just gonna comment this, she's just too adorable. even i had a small heart attack knowing she's already learning how to bust her head open, and then asking for a snack immediately after LMAO total whiplash
Mom: "You could fall and hurt yourself pretty bad."
Little baby: "Well, I'm a big girl."
I’m so thankful to live in the golden age of A24. They’re keeping original, mid-budget cinema alive almost single-handedly.
Yea they're knocking every film they do out the park
They are basically the only film makers that I still get excited about, other than the Coen Brothers. So tired of all these superhero and 3D animated movies clogging up theaters.
@@stephenmerasty1420 yep! I really hope their success doesn’t end up causing them to start pumping out trash, I’ve seen it with so many companies… especially in gaming. The bigger a company gets the more they usually lose their heart and focus solely on shareholders. We need you A24!
@@stephenmerasty1420 he said sarcastically
This movies sucks ass. At best it is a rep off on The Wicker Man. It would be nice to see a Writer come up with an original script for a change. " KeppingOrginal, Mid-budget cinema almost single-handedly". Like the Almost, nice touch. You must be Gen Z. Maybe take a look at Sidney Lumets 12 Angry Men. Rather than this Dog Shit!
When she was crying in the beginning...that was the most realistic reaction I've ever seen. You feel sick to your stomach & heart broken. Like someones reached into your chest and ripped your heart out. That was a hard scene for me to watch. I know that's exactly what I sounded like when I lost my parents
You are a brave soul.
Never stop inspiring the likes of my kind.
Please, for the love of God, never stop existing.
That scene and Toni Collette’s scream when she saw Charlie’s decapitated body in the back of the car in Hereditary
I'm sorry. I know, it sucks. It happens, and we're left.
@@elizabethalkenbrack8767 ty❤
Yeah Florence AND Toni Collettes wails from Hereditary absolute soul chilling.
“This is a weird movie…”
Should be a quote on the back of the Blu-ray
Nah, the quote should be: WTF was that???
I will always remember Toni Collete and Florence Pugh's cryings. They made me feel so bad and anxious. Really really good acting.
Part of me wants to know how Ari Aster directed Pugh and Collette to do those anguished cries. But, then again...I don't want to know. Some things are better left unsaid.
The ending for the brother and guy who killed mark is really interesting because they’re told that this substance will prevent them from feeling anything and they instantly feel it. What’s crazy is that in that moment they might also be realizing that it’s all bs while being burned alive.
the subtitles say "feel no pain" but hes actually saying "feel no fear" in swedish...dno if that makes a difference :D
@@losiposi could be. But I don’t think aster would make that mistake as methodical and thorough as he is
@@Dinobottenbley im swedish so i can assure you thats what he said. But the mistake is on the translator, not Aster, since I assume he doesn't speak swedish. Shame on that translator though.
@losiposi does he not say "feel no pain" the the first persona and then "feel no fear" to the second?
Mrs. Movies: “ if you’re gonna kill somebody as a sacrifice, why wouldn’t you eat them?
Me: ” morals.”
I mean you’ve pretty much already thrown out all morals by killing someone so what does it matter if you eat them at that point.
@@MrsMovies I totally agree with you. I was trying to be funny I guess I didn’t land. Sorry!😬
Seasoning
This is one of the very few movies that made me actually feel uncomfortable the entire film. I felt so strange & uneasy. This embodies what a horror film should be imo
It made me bored.
@@azazello1784 okay?
I agree with you. This is a horror movie that's stayed with me because of the tension and being completely uncomfortable the whole time.
i totally agree, i have lots of friends that are into the horror genre in general, but none of them ever really spook me or anything and i generally find them boring. but movies that make me uncomfortable or disturb me, especially in ways i've never felt before are the ones i really find engaging.
Yeah this is kind of movie that actually scare me. I cant with ghost/demon movies just because of my beliefs, but some crazy people from a cult? that's actually scary.
"Hopefully the second guy jumping does something interesting with the jump" The movie took that as a dare
21:05 Love it when dad is down to a paper thin sheet of patience 😂😂😂
Short of the grass actually growing through the hand, most of the visuals during the shroom scene are actually pretty accurate.
It really is the most accurate visual psychedelic depiction in a movie that I’ve seen, for sure. I’ve only done acid (old school Deadhead acid), but multiple times, and the visuals in this movie looked almost exactly like what I saw every time. Particularly the “breathing” of the trees, it’s practically identical. Ari Aster’s absolutely had some experience with psychedelics.
Ngl I once made the mistake of dropping acid while on shrooms and I definitely got some grass-through-the-hand level hallucinations lol. But to your point, yes this movie finally gets it right. Really tired of movies depicting it as “THE WORLD HAS BECOME A SPIRAL OF TIE-DYE”
You’ve never hallucinated grass growing on your hand and now you think other people don’t. I’m not sure if you’ve taken too many drugs or too few.
@@skyofthelivingdead It's also accurate portrayal of Sweden
Tbh, I had something sorta like that with shrooms and a *tonnnn* of weed. Way too much weed. But I don’t remember if it was closed eyes or open because my mental visualization gets super detailed with shrooms.
Parents were breathing when Dani first was calling, they hadn't died yet :(
I love when your kids interrupt😅.
Her decision on what to eat before bed, and y'all expression because she's taking 10 years to figure out what she wants was hilarious 😂😂😂.
Love it.
The old man's head being smashed with the hammer was actually done with a very impressive animatronic head that could collapse and reform. Operator had to time it perfectly so it would split open just before the hammer actually hit it.
The research that lies behind this film is honestly impressive, so many details are actually genuine.
The painting over Dani's bed is by the classic swedish artist John Bauer, the bear and the blonde girl. Perfect foreshadowing.
Hårga is a place in Hälsingland, and there's a folk song called Hårgalåten (the Hårga Song) in which the devil dresses as a fiddler and makes all the young dance until they die, just like their dance around the may pole.
We absolutely do make may poles and dance around them on Midsommar, but it's more child games and less rituals.
The clothes, art, music, it's all very clearly inspired by our folk culture.
Ättestupa was mention in stories from viking times. If someone lived long enough to be a burden, they had the choice to jump off a cliff and still have an honorable death.
The blood eagle was also from viking times. They'd open up the spine and pull out the lungs while the person was still alive.
The scissor in the baby's bed is from swedish folklore. Iron is said to ward off trolls and fae folk that would otherwise try to steal away your child, so scissors, shears, or a nail in the bed of the child would protect them.
Honestly, the least authentic part of this film is the nature. It wasn't filmed in Sweden, and it shows.
i will never think of swedish people the same again 🙂
And still a pile of shit film.
Isn't that how Sweden looks? I honestly though it was.
@@Neyenn no, it was filmed in Hungary, not Sweden. It's subtle details that make the difference to me, like what kind of trees are in the woods, what the hills look like, even the light from the sun feels wrong. It's too bright and white, for us (and as far north as Hälsingland is) it looks different.
Also pagan Norse people did have a once-in-9-year festival in Uppsala lasting nine days where they would sacrifice nine humans (along with nine horses, bulls, rams, pigs, dogs, cats, and roosters), tho I think there all nine humans needed to be volunteers who do it out of devotion to Norse gods.
Midsommar is a waking nightmare and I mean that in the best possible way.
Wait'll you see "Beau is Afraid"...
@@earthien I have to admit that Beau is afraid is so weird but the shocking factor was way less important because we've watched Midsommar before that 🤷♂️
One the most disturbing movie in the last couple of years ! 😒🇺🇸😂🇲🇽
If by nightmare, you mean comedy, I agree, whole heartedly.
Or how about "The Strange Thing About the Johnsons"?
This weekend there is Midsommar here in Sweden (Saturday 24th), but the big celebration is during the evening and night before.
It's not a "big one" every year, but we try to make our vict... Ehrm ...visitors feel welcome anyway.
Please come and visit any local celebration if you are in Sweden during Midsommar.
This movie has one of the most accurate depictions of a shroom trip. The whole world kinda seems to breathe and pulse.
Yeah when I watched this I kept thinking "whoever worked on this has definitely done shrooms before". They always portray it like you're seeing some weird cartoon shit but it's way more like how this movie shows it.
Except they absolutely misjudged the value of a psilocybin shrooms trip independent of a cult. The creators of this channel have some seriously erroneous drug prohibition biases
"There's the pube!" Best reaction to Midsommar I've seen lol
I’m in the ‘this is an indoctrination movie with a bleak ending’ camp as opposed to the ‘this is a relationship movie with a happy ending’ crowd. Love it as much as they do though.
I think you've gotta have a fairly warped world view to see the ending as upbeat or in any way happy.
@@elliotthedissident6077 my theory is, if you thought it was a happy ending, you’re probably susceptible to indoctrination.
@@flandersucks Brought on by the multiple bad relationships definitely chosen by said possible indoctrinated. I mean, think about the mindset of seeing this as a happy ending to a college relationship.
Yikes
Well everyone certainly had a once in a lifetime experience.
Why not both?
Your daughter is adorable. My daughter is in her 20’s now and I sure miss those days! 😊
Also, “Hopefully this one does a flip or something” killed me. 😂
"Can't let a good fire go to waste," was my favorite.
"Im a big girl!" AWWWW 🥺
I love when their little girl makes her appearances😅 she’s adorable 🥰
She was slick this time around, she avoided promising to use the stairs only haha
"Ari Aster is a weird f***in' dude. He's a sick f***." ~Mrs. Movies
😂🤣
21:25 munchkin logic is so adorable.
Mom: "don't do the thing because it could seriously hurt you!"
Child: "well I'm a big kid."
Mom: "and you can still get hurt so please don't do the thing."
Child: "can I have a bedtime snack?"
😊
One of the craziest psychological horror thriller movies ever made!
The film is called Midsommar not only because of the festival but she (as well as the other main characters) are in their midsommar stage of life.
You guys are awesome parents. I've got one 7 year old and still struggle with snack options at night!
I never wanted anything other than water, but I sipped it slooooooooooow.
Love that famous Pugh frown
Love that this isn’t censored, makes it feel like an chilling with my friends
Your kid is so sweet hahaha ❤ "I need a snack" that's my energy hahahah
The nine sacrifices are once every 90 years (so they kill a person a decade). The May Queen competition and the attestupa (old people jumping off a cliff) happen every year.
The cheering when your baby came out lmao 💋👌🏻
Welcome back to you, me and the movies, now taking donations of Apples, Cheese or Pickles.
Fun fact: The film was originally given an NC-17 by the MPAA. According to Ari Aster, around 30 minutes was cut from the final film mainly due to content. The director's cut released shortly after its theatrical run restores this footage.
"If you're going to kill somebody as a sacrifice, why wouldn't you eat them?" - I kinda want merch!
Hilarious applause drop when the daughter walks in 😂
39:50 The runes on Dani's dress:
Raidō or Backwards ᚱ - Crisis or Death - Parents and sister
Dagaz or Sideways ᛞ - Hopelessness - She's not getting out of here
On the girl to Dani's left:
Kaunaz or ᚲ - Fire or Knowledge
I think she's the one who showed Dani how to breathe after drinking the trippy juice, which opened her mind to what was about to happen
Christian's runes a little later:
Tiwaz or ᛏ - Masculine or Warrior - He's chosen to be the outside DNA
Algiz or upside down ᛉ - Hidden danger, Taboo, Warning
Wow, I did not know every rune had meaning like that, I thought they were just like letters! (And I'm swedish).
@@Marina-cq2yt That's mostly a modern/neo-pagan thing. Still neat though
This friday (23rd of June) we celebrate Midsommar here in Sweden, it's just like this but with more alcohol (and rain...)
18:41 There's an old folk belief that putting scissors under the bed cuts pain in half, so I would guess the baby was teething and the scissors were supposed to help.
What a precious interrupter omg she’s adorable lol
Just came from your Hereditary reaction, and finished Bly Manor with you guys, but I wanted to say you two are my new favorite channel!!! 🙌🙌 thank you for the content you put out!
Thank you!
This movie is a modern masterpiece.
Whether you like it or not, this film will elicit some great reactions 😅
omg, your little one is ADORABLE...i cannot, your so lucky to have her!!!!!
‘ I’m a big girl ‘ Awwwwwwwww 😊
This is not the theatrical version. Those blank looks of Dani by the cliff after the jumpers were weird. I'm glad they took them out. I find it funny that some people say this isn't scary. They think jump scares are what make horror movies good when it's the cheapest way to get a reaction from an audience. The slow dread of an impending doom is what makes this and others classics.
The closeups of her eyes? Those are in the theatrical cut.
@@mv28 Just checked now... you're right. I think other reactions I've seen cut these out and I was too stunned when I saw the movie to remember. Haha.
"Just because you're cousin did it doesn't mean you should".
I would be a millionaire if I had a nickle for everytime I've said this.
My favorite part is still always 25:23 when the lady looks around so confused as to why they’re freaking out about the people killing themselves 😂
I highly suggest Yellow Jackets. I feel like her cannibal dreams will be answered with that one 😂😅
At 26:34 - "She seems to be okay with this. She understands it." No - Dani is NOT okay with this. She is in shock. She hasn't fully processed the death of her sister and parents, and now these old people have committed suicide.
I don't know if you paid attention, but the sound fuzzed out after the lady died. It was to show that Dani was in shock, and was not processing what was around her. This is too much for her system.
Dani is NOT okay.
Thanks for caving in to our demands to react to this. Hope you have no regrets.
5:34 no in fact they were still alive at some point and was slowly dying. im not sure about the exact scenario theres this unreleased part where danny called her bf for help as to what to do after receiving the message from terri. bf told to shrug it off until danny later on just decided to message her parents. they could technically be saved at some point of she took action faster by herself or was given encouragement to do so.
When Dani is crying after seeing Christian gettin' bizzay the women surround her and mirror her emotions and support her, , like you mentioned, but of which was a stark contrast to the beginning where she grieved alone. This can be a cult tactic, of course, but to me the Hårga are more than that.
I believe midsommar happens every year in some capacity but this was a special midsommar is every 90 years. One of the Harga says essentially that when they first arrive. And just based on the fact that they'd have to lure X amount of outsiders to sacrifice every single year. The elders are sacrificed in the year they age up.
I don't think they lure outsiders every single year. I think that's at the 90 year celebration.
@@heatherL4834 yup
I’ve yet to see anyone notice the face in the trees during the May Queen Cermony.
i'm always paranoid about drinks. the second i saw christian's glass i knew what happened.
This film is really interesting in how the end looks happy but sane people will understand that it is wrong in every moral way. And knowing the concept of indoctrination, and how she looks happy in the end, you see she found her new family. I like to interpret things freely and I think that many cults are no different than some religions and even club or rave culture groups/scenes. It's just a matter of perspective. And that to me is what really scares me about the film. It's that there are so many different cultures and things we don't understand and that even the slightest bit of desperation or weakness is what compromises you to become a part of these things.
There's a theory that Dani's sister did not commit familicide and was murdered and framed in that way to push Dani into another "family". Hereditary also has similar themes of manipulating one's grief, which is love that has nowhere to go. And letting people fall into the influence of those around them through positive affirmations regardless of the moral disagreements or violations.
The people of the commune felt along with her. Unlike her boyfriend. They were what she was looking for since she lost her family. Someone to share her feelings. And to want to be with her.
Just a shame Pelle and the cult killed her sister and parents...
@@scipioafricanus5871 um what???
@@patrickfoster8335 Think about the cult needed to destroy Dani's family and bring her in a vulnerable state where she needed a (new) family.
@@scipioafricanus5871 disagree. That was just something that Pelle took advantage of. Theres no evidence that they were involved.
Nope. She is being love bombed. But she as a person has no value to them. She is a pawn used for their own needs, groomed by the guy from the cult. Her victimhood is just transformed into another form of being a victim. Top notch brainwashing.
Beau is Afraid is great. Hope you guys get around to reacting to it when it's available.
This movie is a slow motion jaw drop from beginning to end.
Not for everyone, but I loved it.
I love how the Mural shows the whole story, we just don't know it until it happens and maybe we remember it on the mural. For Example the first thing we see are the 3 fallen angels and a red string around them turns out that's a "uninstall life" hose, the parents and the sister.
Oh my god my favorite part of your reactions honestly are when the kids interrupt! It’s absolutely adorable!
i have a hard time choosing between cheese and pickles too
The studio audience always makes me laugh 😂😂
Thank you for a realistic scenario for potential future parents 🤣🤣🤣.
When she smiles it's like, "Yeah, Danni went bye-bye."
I think the first one to die was the victim of a blood eagle - it was a Norse torture/sacrifice where they'd cut holes in your back and pull your lungs out through them and spread them like the wings of an eagle.
Actually, when we see the parents first, they're actually sleeping.....
yea, showing that they are breathing because they are breathing in the fumes at that time, probably
One of my favorite horror movies, along with the original Wicker Man, which is a huge influence on this movie.
I think the three people with the hammer are just representatives of each of the three other age groups.
I agree. Loved the original wicker man. The remake wasn't too bad either with Nicholas Cage
@@edgartellez-hn6en Really???? "The bees! Not the beeeeees!"
@@edgartellez-hn6en it was risible. this is a much more worthy remake. enough weirdness to make it not an entirely pointless exercise. still not really a patch on the original. such a great ending...no dear god, no! lol lol.
Good timing guys👍Its Midsommer on friday in Denmark🇩🇰😆
Loved the circle cracker moment 😂 so cute
As for Connie's scream. You can hear it in 3 consecutive scenes.
Damn the wife's good at guessing things
This film is almost a lecture on naivety... A horrifying one 😂
I loved your recap. It kind of completely encapsulates the uneasy feeling that the movie leaves the viewers with. Definitely one of the best horror movies I’ve seen in a while.
Omg 😂this is precious! Parenting while reacting. TH-cam recommended me your video and now I subscribe. 19:50
“Promise you won’t climb up there.”
“I’m hungry.”
This will now be my answer for most questions
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I promise we don't celebrate Midsummer like this in Sweden 😂
I clicked on this so fast. You’re reactions are gold ❤️❤️❤️❤️ especially hers lol
The intermission 😂 parent trying to figure out what their kids want is funny to me
"I get vertigo enough, could you imagine if the whole world was moving." Ummm, not sure how to tell you this, but..the whole world is moving.
Why is everyone hating on Midsommar? Top tier film imo
My first try to watch this, I dozed off. Waking up in the middle was quite jarring.
Good reaction, y'all.
This one of my favorite movies of all time, so worth a second watch and examining each scene and details is just mind blowing. Loved your reaction!
Thats what I love about Ari's films, they are always rewatchable and you can always find something you missed on the first go around!
10:23 "she's gonna become the may queen" followed by the breathy thing they do...
All of the hidden imagery in the trees and flowers is so cool.
Meat tarts
Made with fresh Simon
I'm dead LOL 😂
One of my all time favorites
Decisions, decisions. She's adorable! I have trouble deciding what to eat too!
your child negotiation skills are impressive. I would have been like "sure you can have another apple" while sobbing in defeat like I've just been bullied.
I love when you both watch a movie for the first time, so much fun 😊
Well I can scratch Midsommer off my list of things to see and do before I die 😵💫😵
Damn, I've seen the theatrical release twice but didn't even realise there was a director's cut. It's interesting that this version includes some quite pointed shots which hint at what's happening much more than the theatrical version - even just those few seconds here and there seem to make quite a big difference to the experience of watching it.
Wow I am impressed. Have watched about 20 midsommar reactions so far but you guys were spot on with some predictions.
😅
i don't know if mrs. movies is intentionally teasing, being sarcastic or displaying a subconscious coping mechanism related to the expectations towards the movie, but it is hella entertaining! :-D
I agree this was a once per 90 year event. The yearly event would contain some, but not all of the 90-year event. This community couldn't kill 5 locals AND everyone over 72 year by year and remain healthy.
This movie is about to stay with y'all the rest of y'all lives. Enjoy.
..like ABBA?
Nice reaction! It's every 90th year. It's idsommar soon. You gonna visit Sweden now? Maybe a snäll village? You're welcome. I'm actually happy that for once, it's really swedish in an American movie. Great actors too. ✌️💕
Easy now, Pelle.
I am so excited to watch this reaction, even though this movie is just... so messed up 😂
Me too. I turned on TH-cam and said OMG yes! I am so excited. I love this movie. My thought is always, how is Dani the next day when the drugs wear off? Is she like OMG I can’t leave or over joyed to have a family?
Ari Aster's brand of horror and story telling is rather potent
There's a British horror movie from 2017, called The Ritual, which also features a group of friends visiting Sweden. They didn't have a great time either. It's quite a decent horror movie, but it was painfully obvious that it wasn't shot in Sweden.
