21:05 Love it when dad is down to a paper thin sheet of patience 😂😂😂

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.

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.

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.

"There's the pube!" Best reaction to Midsommar I've seen lol

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?" 😊

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.

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

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.

One of the craziest psychological horror thriller movies ever made!

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.

"If you're going to kill somebody as a sacrifice, why wouldn't you eat them?" - I kinda want merch!

Love that this isn’t censored, makes it feel like an chilling with my friends

Actually, when we see the parents first, they're actually sleeping.....

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.

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.

This movie is a modern masterpiece.

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.

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.

When she smiles it's like, "Yeah, Danni went bye-bye."
