    Film: incredibly in-depth tale of psycho-sexual frustration, with constant allusions to myths and fables, power, gaslighting, all wrapped up in a beautiful period piece that plays with this almost cartoonish depiction of hemmingway-esque maritime masculinity This Analysis: CAPITALISM BAD, THE BIRDS ARE THE AMERICAN DREAM PECKING THE WORKER ALIVE, THE LIGHT IS LIKE THE FALSE PROMISES OF JEFF BEZOS so glad we're past this era of this style of essay lol, very reductive, always back to class consciousness and capitalism. dont get me wrong those themes are certainly present, but to take up 90% of your analysis is absurd. I'd recommend watching Novum's analysis if you're looking for a much more substantive and in-depth look into this film. The difference in views between the two essays is downright criminal when you compare the quality of analysis.

    22:10 as an ex-Baptist, I can attest to how insane worship and altar call is. I went to a camp where they had a day that was completely non stop and no rest time like the other days. At the end of the worship they preached about being saved because god loved us. Then we separated into our cabins and we wrote down what we wanted god to forgive us for. I didn’t think of anything so because of that, I was put into a smaller group of other kids who didn’t write anything. We were berated with fire and brimstone and were gonna go to hell if we don’t let god in. I bent to what they wanted. Years later I found out if you didn’t do what they wanted at that time, you were sent home a day early and you’re no longer allowed to attend the camp. I’m Hellenistic pagan now and I’m significantly happier than I was before

    i’ve seen all types of movies… this movie is the one movie that made me so incredibly uncomfortable! there were so many parts that just made my skin crawl. and the s3x scene in the barn with the people surrounding them moaning with them was so weird! i liked the plot of the movie but it was too creepy & too real for me.

    It's funny how there's this sweet scent to the air in depression. You know it when it's there, yet despite overgrowing your lowly self in the struggle, you miss that heaviness, that sweet, sweet scent that depression brings.

    Glad I didn't watch the movie. As a Gen Xer, I got a similar realization as you report for this film from a made-for-television movie about a real social experiment a teacher did at a public high school showing the students how Europe could ever end up letting Hitler into their hearts. It was called "The Wave."

    Was I happy about the dickhead boyfriend getting burnt alive? Yeah, but honestly I am not a fan of men in general and he was objectively a shit man. Did I think it was a happy ending or smile with Dani? Hell no. Her smile was that of a mental breakdown, not actual joy. She was completely broken and smiling with madness. There was no triumph for Dani. She did not win. She did not survive. She may have opportunity to live long enough to begin to recover from this trauma but at the end of the movie she is not ok, she is just not dead.

    This video definitely had made me think about life. I didn't like the ending of Midsommar because why would you be happy to be in a backwater ass civilization. But past trauma and what not could influence you to make this decision. I would love to have a reset button or a redo and live the perfect life, but there was Soo much exploitation in this, I'd rather live a crummy and loneliness life rather than this... Thanks to this video, I think I've become a LITTLE more content with my life

    The original G&GK poem is also strange, set at a crossroads between Celtic, Viking and Christian traditions, but in their interpretation A24 & Lowrey rather significantly replaced the original Gawain with a lost and feckless fellow without an inkling of chivalry in him, discarding all references to the poet’s belief in a Christian God which grounded their original story.

    He’s not a “great guy” but I got that he wanted to break up before the death of her family and couldn’t do it in light of her tragedy. I do feel that she should have picked up on the fact that the relationship was no longer working before the movie started. He can be a jerk but she’s also selfishly keeping him for her comfort because she needs something to cling to.

    Never saw this as a happy ending. It’s horrifying and had a feeling of claustrophobia in her further isolation. She’s cut off from everyone she knew and is surrounded by a murderous cult. No victories there.

    I mean, the movie really did it’s job for its target demographic for Christian’s. I find it kind of amusing, for I had seen this movie before when I was younger. Like this film is one of many exceptions that religious people make in terms of the type of content they find to be appropriate for children. This was a movie that a lot of Christians showed their kids too. Thanks mom and dad… I remember them getting pissed when I turned away from the screen from seeing Jesus getting horrifically whipped. And then proceeded to say, “Why are you turning away? This is what he died for.” Personally, this is the type of movie where, I’m like, “You’d have to be insane to do this conceptually.” And yet Mel Gibson being the insane man he is, pulled it off. And it’s crazy that it worked. And that it somehow fed into the target demographics, because of what it was. And that’s so bizarre to me, because like, on any other day, conservative Christian America would not be willing to watch a gore film or a subtitled film, but Mel Gibson got them to watch both…in one movie. And it was overwhelmingly successful.
