Reasons Sweden is known for: *1.* Bizarre and gruesome pagan festivals that make you understand why the population ended up converting to christianity *2.* Barbarian warriors that everyone believes wore horned helmets despite that fact being completely untrue *3.* Hostages falling in love with their kidnappers *4.* Sabaton *5.* Gigantic furniture malls that serve you barely digestible meatballs *6.* Grim Reapers that give you extra life seconds for playing chess with them *7.* C*strated vampire children who love puzzles, speak Morse code and give us a much more mature love story than those of "Twilight"

​​​@@notsureiL Sorry, pal, but, considering the great amount of people who get lost inside those gigantic malls, I have the strange feeling the flesh those things are made of isn't precisely animal 😅

Especially number 1.

I have a theory that the reason "Midsommar" was made is simply because the director saw a lot of people getting a terrifying perception of Sweden when the scandinavian vampire movie "Let the Right One In" came out, so he said: "Now you'll see how REALLY terrifying Sweden can be without fantasy elements..." 😈

Ari aster said he made it about a break up. Just so happened he used the mid sommar as a setting when it was happening

I thought it was a warning to people of how terrifying cults can be and how easily normal intelligent people can be sucked in. But that's just my take on it

this is pretty funny to watch as a swede, the worst thing to happen at midsummer is someone gets too drunk.

americans are just fearful of traditions that go back longer the 8 decades lol

12:15 the story reminds me of a similar german tale from the middle ages called "pied piper of hamelin". Its a story about a town hiring a man with a magic pipe to lure away the rats out of town, however the town refuses to pay him and as revenge he lures the children away from the town never to be seen again.

Sir with all due respect, I will NOT stay away from the mushrooms thank you very much! Also your book, I got that years ago, please do another one with more titans!

Uppsala in Sweden was an important religious centers to 'Viking ' period Swedes. Uppsala had a temple to Odin, thor and Freyja. It's believed that human sacrifice took place there every nine years, where nine people would be chosen as worthy sacrifices to the Gods. Bloodeagle definitely did happen, and Saga was the only evidence there was, Scandinavia didn't keep records like other civilisations. The Bloodeagle wasn't given to just any common criminal, it was reserved for very 'special ' people/occasions.

The beginning of the movie was horrifying too

I'm glad that you have exposed the horrors of this experience, festival, movie. Whatever it is.

I just discovered this channel. I could spend a year here. Now watching everything.

I love going to any festival as long as I'm assured as not to be the victim of something gruesome.

The main person is also in the dark shadows movie i didnt know it was her/in kick ass, it has vampires/a werewolf(the main person for the movie for the video.).

This film reminds me so much of ‘The Wicker Man”. I love it!

Was I the only viewer of Midsommar who got strong The Wicker Man vibes from it? The two share strong narratives of pagan beliefs clashing with conservative modern views. And both use human sacrifice as an important plot element. Also, the climax of each film used clear foreshadowing elements in their respective stories.

Excellent video!

💛 all your videos mate👍

Thanks for the video ⚔️

Stephen the great Moldavia biography please make video

Great breakdown of the movie!

imagine if such a festival was a plot point in Midsummer Murders

I was in Sweden for a month back in 1988. I saw a guy drop a hammer on his foot. That was the most violent thing I saw. This movie is pretty silly.

Stephen the great and Vlad the Impaler friend history please make video

Im digging the animation!!

Yeah...watched it....I don't want to watch it again...twisted shit

The fact that they had the mallet as a backup plan for the Attestupa means people fucked it up in the past too. Maybe it's time to put instructions up there? IJS

The only way to find out the truth is to go to the midsummer festival which I would gladly do.

This was cool.

Twenty-fifth person to like the video! 😀 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

First 10:50 is a walkthrough of the movie.

Josh's black self should have never been there. Would have been the first death, if, Mark had not peed on a tree.

Get thise Norsemen Attestup flashbacks lol😅

I have a huge crush on Will Poulter.

Cartoon you is so cute.👾👨

I guess I’m in a minority, but I thought the movie was overrated as hell.

Norse are savages
