The reason Dani suddenly got up and seemed upset after taking the mushrooms, was because Mark said “you guys are like my real actual FAMILY”. He triggered her with the word family because she just lost her whole family..

Swede here. We don't celebrate Midsummer like this, I promise 😂 I love that you thought there was something weird going on because of the daylight, made me chuckle. No that's just Sweden in the summer haha. It doesn't stay dark for long. Maybe for like 2 hours and then it gets lighter again. Complete opposite during winter time.

When the ladies are wailing on the floor with Dani, that's actually a form of love-bombing (via validation) and extreme mirroring behavior. We learn as babies that mirroring other people creates connection...like smiling when the other person smiles.

From your reactions I get the feeling that cults aren't something you're familiar with. That's a cult in the movie. They send people out, like Pelle, to bring back sacrifices and potential mates(aka new blood) and maybe even someone to be May Queen. Dani, because she has suffered major losses and Pelle knows it, is brought there to be absorbed into the cult. She is vulnerable and they know it. She smiles at the end because she has lost her mind and is now one of them. By the way, the cult members are feeling the pain of their burning victims, not joy. Pelle states early on that they do everything together and he was not lying. They even share pain. It's part of the process of keeping them all closely attached as cult members. That's how I see it.

As a Swede I love this film, because its honestly so well researched! The aesthetic of the culture is well done, not exact copies but clothes, art, music is very similar to our folk culture. The painting over Dani's bed at the start is one every Swede would recognise. It's by our classical painter John Bauer who did a lot of folklore depictions. Blonde girl with a bear. Ättestupa and the Blood Eagle are mentioned from Viking times. With Ättestupa, the idea is that you live long enough to be a burden you can have an honourable death by jumping off a cliff. And with Blood Eagle it was a method of torture/execution where they open up the spine to pull the lungs out while they're still alive. The dancing around the maypole we do for midsummer every year, but the dance until you drop comes from the folk song Hårgalåten, in which the devil dresses like a fiddler and makes all the young dance until they die. Hårga even giving name to this commune. At one point you see them put a pair of scissors in a baby's crib. This is from the belief that iron wards off fae and trolls, and it would be customary to put a nail, scissors, or sheers in the crib so the baby couldn't be stolen. There's also a spot where young girls walk backwards picking flowers. This looks a little different in different parts of Sweden, but there's the idea that if you pick 7 flowers and put them under your pillow on midsummer eve, you'll dream about the man you'll marry. Honestly, the least authentic part of the film is the nature around the commune. It wasn't filmed in Sweden and it shows.

This is so interesting. In my country we have the same belief about the iron scissors

You don't have trees in Sweden or cows?

The fact that most of the horror takes place during the bright daytime makes it so much scarier imo. Love this movie! Btw I love your Bride of Frankenstein shirt. That's the greatest horror sequel ever made!

you guys laughing hysterically: couple goals

The flailing around was because the community was connected through empathy, so they felt the pain of the elder who survived, they felt the volunteers burning, and when Dani was crying they were showing her that they knew how she felt, that she could share the pain.

Just want to clarify that in the movie the rituals take place every 90 years, not every year lol

they skinned the fool, Marc lol

"Midsommar" is just Swedish for "Midsummer", a celebration of Summer, usually around the Summer Solstice

Imo, the only ones of the outsiders who didn't really deserve what happened to them was the newlywed couple...and the bear of course 😂

We laughed hysterically in the theater during the ritual sex scene 😂😂

The table at the feast is in the shape of a Runic Alphabet symbol.

Just remember this is just a movie. I happily invite you to our midsommar festivities to see how peaceful we are. I havent met my quota i mean quality people i.bring home.😊

Florence Pugh's character changed mind about going probably from talking to the guy that is from Sweden at the beginning before you see her on the plane helped change her mind about going

As always! Love your reactions! When will HOSTEL & HOSTEL Part 2 come out???? ❤

Been waiting for the Reaction 💥🔥💖

Hii I suggest you to react on orphan first kill i can tell you’ll be shocked in the plotwist!

Pelle is such a stirrer lol obviously he planned this on multiple levels, but the moment right after Christian gets that sedative powder blown into his face is so telling. You see Pelle’s head peek into the shed, weirdly and knowingly. I feel like getting Dani was a huge bonus but Christian, Mark, and Josh were never supposed to make it back to America. Then they disrespected the culture (another thing Pelle *KNEW* their dumbasses would do) and that’s the cherry on the cake lmao and you just know that he and Dani are going to end up together. He’s already planted that seed into her mind, and into the commune as well

0:04 until I see reactions I just forgot that the attestupa scene is actually pretty shocking for people

Awesome reaction

The table is in the shape of an Othala rune runes were what Northern Europeans used it before the Latin alphabet, and each rune has a different meaning. Othala means home or family

I love your videos so much Adam and Denise

This is the same director that created hereditary, in case that hadn’t been pointed out to you.

Not gonna lie, I felt a little bad watching you guys CRACKING UP while Christian was being drugged and r-word. D:

❤

W🔥🔥

This movie is a good horror movie but the way it feels like it does not make sense but DOES make sense is insane. I have to re-watch it because the first time, I was surprised lmaooo. It's messed up!

Sometimes TOO many questions haha. But that’s fine. To answer one of them as best I can, “just because” haha. Why were the old people carried away in their chair? Just because. Just because that’s how the ritual is. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why did you guys have to watch this💔😭😭😭it’s so disturbing guys I can’t believe I’m rewatching it lol

I believe they’re trying to be empathetic when they cry with Dani. Which is something she’s not really had with Christian at least. And no you re not supposed to laugh at most of the parts you laughed at..

How are you

Can you watch RUROUNI KENSHIN

your voice sounds like Ari Aster's

This movie disturbed me

This is a very messed up horror movie. Im glad you're watching it, as some people have called it the worst horror film ever made.

Some people have very poor taste. 90% of all horror movies made are low tier trash, Midsommar is not among them.

I didn't care for this one. The best part was the comedic sex scene. Otherwise it had an unsurprising ending and was boring to me for the most part. I think Aster just got lucky with Hereditary.

I hated Midsomer. It was a complete rip off of the wicker man if you don’t believe me, watch them back to back and make me a liar.

Eh, wicker man was pretty good but this movie id say is better because of how much it is linked to an actual tradition, not completely accurate ofc but still based off of it slightly. It’s an amazing movie with great production, transitions and amazing detail, very beautiful scenery. Both are really good movies. Both films are very respectable and hey, if you really think this is a rip off, welcome to thriller/horror movies where 80% of them are ripping off the one before, as only the “original never done before” films were made way more than 30 years ago. just like art, everything has been done. It’s best to just appreciate it for what it is
