Hannah is wicked smart mate. Her calling the "recruitment" tactic 10 minutes into the video *applause*
I've watch a lot of reactors on RUclips and she is the smartest out of all of them.
She guesses at least one reveal in every film she watches, I have no idea how she does it.
Sherlock Hannah ❤️
@@EdanSolViamar Hunter Boyle is still prognosticator queen but I would be obsessed with a Hanna/Hunter collab haha.
srsly wtf
43:40 That's also why the girls were moaning/crying with Dani earlier almost in a chant. It's part of the cult initiation tactics and a way to bring everyone into the hive mindset. Think as one, feel as one, never be alone again, and never be an individual again.
That scene is actually a classic brain washing technique.
@@bobjohnston1239 Yeah there's a lot of that in the film. They definitely had the handbook lol
@@meghanmonroeI’m glad to see others finally catching that. It’s alarming how many people I’ve seen watch the movie and actually think that was a HAPPY, POSITIVE thing. One of my friends even said, “I was so happy to finally see Dani surrounded by support and friendship”. Uh, no, it’s manipulation at it’s boldest.
@@ninja_tony I mean, I'm sure it felt that way to Dani. As Pelle said, she finally "felt held".
To me, it feels more like mockery.
I'm actually really impressed that they figured out what was going on so quick. A _shockingly_ large amount of people genuinely think this film had a happy ending, and that Dani finally found people who honestly cared about her. It says a lot about Aster's direction - he's managed to indoctrinate his _own audience_ without them even knowing.
That audience includes at least one pretty insistent person in this comment section.
most of us were just happy the crappy boyfriend was dead
@@sandifeola9385 Dude didn't deserve to get raped and burnt alive just bc he was a shitty boyfriend
Both things can be true.
@@sandifeola9385 The boyfriend sucked but i felt bad for him anyway. I mean, he got raped and was realistically just a kind of selfish guy, not an outright villain type
I do think Hereditary is way scarier, but I love how Midsommar is a horror movie set in the daylight. So rare to see a director create good scares without relying on the darkness. Bright, colorful, gorgeous scenery… and yet horrific.
Agreed! I think Hereditary is scarier, but Midsommar is more disturbing
Gave me the shining vibes. The light is where the terror is
true it's so unique
Midsommar is a masterclass in gaslighting to be sure.
Jordan Peele’s NOPE has entered the chat
Hereditary and Midsommar are truly twin movies, and Ari has described them as such. One in daylight, one in darkness. Death of family opens the film. One cult using love, the other using force. A character who is friendly to the protagonist actually driving them into the clutches of the cult. Massive head trauma seen a third of the way through that changes the whole tone of the film. And a character crowned king and queen at the end.
Hereditary is clear
A lot of similarities but I didn’t really connect with Midsommar. It was okay, but Hereditary is the best horror film I’ve ever seen.
@@FlareDope midsommar was a decent film but hereditary was just incredible👍🏾 both by the same director
@FlareDope I agree Hereditary is number one but Midsommer is still a top horror film compared to today's generic horrors films if u can even call them that are .
Hereditary is FAR better. Midsommar's a blatant 'Wicker Man' rip-off. After watching this, I'm astonished that I've never seen anyone make that connection before.
Horror based on atrocious human behavior hits me harder than supernatural stories because it can and may actually occur.
Also, Florence Pugh in this film gives one the most real, distraught, pained, guttural cries I've ever heard in any film. It's one of the greatest horror performances that I have ever seen.
I dare say she could give Toni Collette a run for her money in the pained wailing department.
@@ieruza First thing that came to my mind
Also those kinds of horrors disrupt some sense of morality and stability.
Fun fact: Dani smiling at the end was her choosing to let everything go, and to just except the way her life is now. She is smiling like that because after everything that's happened to her, the trauma of losing her family, and then going through watching all her friends die horribly was to much. Her mind is broken, and she is expierencing the kind of joy only someone who has truly gone insane can feel.
It's like the most genuine smile I've ever seen in my life...that in itself is creepy as hell.
it always reminded me of the end of the witch. Both movies end on the same type of smile
Midsommar is essentially a break-up film.
Fact ? Did the director say this? Because I feel like the ending is what you make of it personally. It has no definitive explanation and I feel like that’s the point
@@MasonicMafia I am basing my comment on something the producer Lars Knudson said during an interview, when he was asked what Dani smiling at the end meant, and he said, "The euphoria Dani felt towards the end was her mind letting go, and in that moment, she was experiencing the kind of freedom only someone who is truly insane can know."
The way Hannah screams when she gets scared makes me laugh so hard
Trust 😂
Florence Pugh was incredible in this film.
Florence Pugh was great. But every time I think of an Ari film. I'm going to think of Joaquin Phoneix in Beau is Afraid for the best lead actor in any of his films. I really hope Ash and Hannah do a reaction for that film when it comes out. They will never unsee any scene in that movie🤣🤣🤣
@@andrewbeck686 Toni Collette's better
@@TheOldBear Yeah she's incredible.
@@TheOldBear Can we just *_not_*
Hannah being willing to join the cult because they have cute goats is simultaneously really sweet and really unsurprising 😭
I think the ending of the Midsommar screenplay not only sums up the final shot perfectly, and answers some of the most pressing questions a viewer may have, but is also profoundly beautiful on its own: "She has surrendered to a joy known only by the insane. She has lost herself completely, and she is finally free. It is horrible and it is beautiful."
Well if that's how it's explained it works for me. Ari is great.
They portrayed panic attacks very well in this. Having panic disorder made it hit hard. Crazy film
As someone with anxiety who also does shrooms…insanely accurate.
The fact that this horror movie is set in a completely sunny bright environment and still absolutely terrifying is so good. Props to the crew who made this movie.
Idk if you noticed it - but what's really creepy about the scene where Dani's crying is the indoctrination happening there. First they surround her; so she can't see anything but them. She has nothing to ground herself back in reality, away from them, because they are all she can perceive. Then they mimic her. Then, slowly, they make it so that SHE is now mimicking them - without even realising she's doing it. It's so sneaky and clever.
Also you guys have really good reactions. Subbed.
“Go smoke your acrylic” 😂
“I’m not eating bolognese for a while” 😂😭 what I would give to have a pint with you both, your reactions are my favorite ever. Thank you for the endless laughs, cheers!
Hahaha Emily you have made our day you legend ❤️
round is on us
@@justtrustash Consider this: Pelle and members of the cult killed Dani's sister and her parents she was always meant to be lured to Sweden.
Literally an afternoon down Spoons with these two would be iconic 😂
I really do enjoy watching whatever you guys watch. Florence’s character wasn’t supposed to know or come but Pelle seeing her vulnerability was excited that she would become part of their cult. The villains won
We Love you mate ❤️
Yes. He knew she was vulnerable and preyed on it. The smile on Florences face at the end to me says that she succumbed and now she has her "family" shes always wanted.
@@JessieDee13 Until it's her turn to go off that cliff
@@LA_HA nah she'll be just like them and welcome it
@@JessieDee13 After decades in the cult, you're absolutely right. The old couple we saw illustrated that fact. I wasn't thinking about them when I wrote that. I was still thinking of her as an outsider. She's not an outsider anymore.
Speaking of that, did you notice that her parents had the same kind of flowers in their room as the villagers were wearing? Or am I misremembering things?
Had a few beers with Ari back in 2009 before he had made his films, he was just a uni student and I was travelling through USA. He was so laidback and friendly, I had no idea he would make such astonishing films!
Who cares
Hannah is such a smart passionate girl, you guys are a refreshing couple to watch
Appreciate you mate ❤️
Ari Aster is a true modern master of horror. His films delve deep into the psyche. And once again proves that some of the all time greatest acting performances can come from the horror genre. Toni Collette and Florence Pugh are proof, it's just a shame the Academy Awards didn't acknowledge what the rest of us know to be a fact. Horror delivers.
Its always so horrible when amazing horror films aren't nominated for Oscars or golden globes. I wish they were more celebrated
his movies are absolut shit. only Hereditary is "okay".
@@youyeedyourlasthaw It's great that Asster's shit doesn't win awards. This not horror; it's more predictable than a Friday the 13th film, and it's not scary.
Correction: "Ari Aster is a true disaster master of horror."
Watching his movies is like self flagellation. They're always well done...but damn. Not exactly a fun watch.
Hannah continues to amaze me. She just gets it right away. The moaning in unison is a collective consciousness
"Someone's on fire..."
I just wanna give Hannah a big hug and a pat on the head for saying THOSE PARTICULAR WORDS 2 hours and 20 minutes too early. 🤣🤣🤣
You should watch some Black Mirror episodes
Good idea
I concur.
Definitely
Yes
WE NEED SCARY MOVIE AND OR SCREAM AND BRÜÜÜÜNOOOO
What they did to Simon was what the Vikings back in the day called a Blood Eagle. They slice open your back, crack your ribs open and lay your lungs out of your body to resemble the wings of an eagle…all while you’re alive 🙃
You're probably the nicest couple on YT, like we can tell you both love each other but you seem like best friends at the same time
This is one of the most mindblowing, disturbing, happiest, and most terrifying ends I have seen in a horror movie. It is genuinely crazy how many feelings you FEEL in this scene. When I first watched this ending, it made me feel so disturbed and so terrified, yet, it made me feel somewhat happy. As if I felt like I was almost going to smile with her... It's like this ending makes you into a trance and fall into the cult just like she does... As if Aster hallucinates the audience into thinking everything is okay too... Such a great way to manipulate the audience into a happy ending.
I used to live in that part of Sweden, Hälsingland. Though not very close to Hårga. The old story is that a mysterious figure appeared there during a party and started playing music which made others dance until they died. This tale eventually turned into regular dancing events in more modern times. One of my neighbours was into that. If I remember correctly a mall also had a painting on the wall depicting dancing and typical things for the area. Midsommar events can indeed involve dancing with traditional clothes. But what's also common is a lot of drinking, someone passing out on a couch or outside, others having sex in an empty room where the party is being held etc. I once read that more children than average are born 9 months after midsommar parties😂
Yup, May is one of the most common birth months in Sweden 😅
Also, this wasn't filmed in Sweden, and I feel like it shows. The light and landscape feels wrong..
@@Lannisen Yeah, such a shame it wasn't filmed somewhere around Hälsingland. The movie would've been a lot more beautiful if it was, and felt more authentic to anyone remotely familiar with how northern-ish Sweden looks like.
Because we Swedes partying all night long at that moment
Yeah, something felt a bit different at times. I've seen that before. Series that took place in northern USA sometimes had scenes that felt different. Different light etc. I suspected that it was LA or similar. Later on I read that this was the case.
@@WorldBurialLA? Wikipedia says most of the film, where it’s supposed to be Sweden, was filmed in Hungary.
The US parts of the film were shot in NYC and Utah (apparently ari aster likes Utah as that’s where Hereditary was iirc)
Resin is the residue left over after smoking pot. It is for when you are very poor or cant find weed.
It's also a form of hashish - not just weed leftovers :)
That's rosin @@garyb7575
We do this every year in Sweden! Beautiful tradition! 😂
i’ve never seen ash so emotional and hannah is so smarttt. ari aster put his foot in this film.
NEVER let Hannah watch Human Centipede. She WILL need a bucket, a therapist, and serious cuddles!
I love horror films, but THIS movie is extremely disturbing!! AND THEY MADE 3 OF THEM!?!
I watched human centipede like 10+ years ago and I still think about it at least once a week because of how disturbing it was 😬
The intro when you rejected Hannah to show the "True Art piece" was jokes 😂😂
😂😂 gotta put my foot down sometimes
I watch movies like this and I have to go to RUclips for someone to explain half of it to me. Y'all just catch shit right off the bat. Part of why I'm a fan of the both of you. Great reaction once again!
Love you bro ❤️
"listen, he might've been a bit of a silly sod" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 HANNAH !!!! never change
The way they sacrificed simone is called a blood eagel. Its a real thing
you said the same thing I said about this director: these scenes stick with you; he makes you think about his movies long after you watch them.
45:06. so true Hannah
literally the tapestry at the beginning, shows the entire film 😂
If you read a bit of Norse mythology there are sooo many clues in this film leading up to what is going to happen. How many days and nights did Odin sacrifice himself on the world tree Yggdrasil for? 😉 What are the ages that Pelle mentions are cornerstones in their community and what do those two numbers add up to every time? What constellation is Odin associated to? What animal does that constellation ultimate take form as? So many clues. I loved watching this film for the first time because it was like picking up on all of these clues as if they were inside jokes.
"You can't motorboat an egg!" HAHAHAHA I friggin lost it! Catching up on the videos is so much fun
This is probably the best reaction to this movie I have ever seen.
Mad love to you mate ❤️👊🏽
Was so excited to watch this reaction and you guys didn’t disappoint.
👊🏽👊🏽 glad you enjoyed it you legend
"Do you guys have like a website to check your reviews?" I spit my coffee all over my desk... I trusted you,Ash.... tsk. tsk.
Absolutely love Ari's brand of psychological horror. Hereditary brought up some weird, deep seated childhood fears I had of my mum that I had managed to bury way down in the the depths. That scene when the mother bizarrely creeps and wakes her son up in the middle of the night to set him on fire, never felt that chilled in my life! Ari's second film, Midsommar, is a trip and has a slight nihilistic nod to one of the most bleak and hollowing films I've ever seen in "Der siebente Kontinent" by Michael Haneke.
Kudos for dropping Michael Haneke's "Der siebente Kontinent"
"Do not sit here now and tell me that they're gonna start drinking period blood."
I am DYING. ☠🤣
"you guys watch austin powers here?" LMFAO!!!!
“I’m brown. Doesn’t mean you’re going to sleep with every other brown person.” 😂😂😂 you guys are hilarious lol
“you can’t motorboat an egg” made me laugh stupidly hard and idk why but thank u for that hannah
It's crazy how much detail went into this movie. Even down to the symbols painted on the walls, foreshadowing whats going to happen next.
another detail: when Simon was in the chicken coop and “butterflied”, his lungs were still functioning. This indicates that he was still alive and felt EVERYTHING.
RUclips keeps showing me an ad for The Invitation...just remembered why. That could be a fun one for the channel. Also a slow burn, paranoia type psychological thriller with an interesting ending. That one takes place at night, though...in Los Angeles.
"that's the sauce, Italian style" I'm HOWLING AHAHAHA
Just to think about how a horror movie was completely in daylight but still worked is insane and bravo to Ari Aster guy is a genius
Hey ash, i know you never really do tv series, but maybe you can give The haunting of hill house a chance. I think you would love it. it is only just 1 season also .
Great reaction to midsommar also i loved it :)
+1 to this idea
+2 it would be great
+3 best show ever
His drink was a different color with a pube in it, because it was the period drink thing from earlier
Time for The Wicker Man.
Ari Aster's third film 'Beau Is Afraid' is out in cinemas at the moment, you guys must react to it when it comes on streaming. Joaquin Phoenix who plays Joker is the main actor and it is just as amazing as Hereditary and Midsommar!
"Beau is Afraid" might be the weirdest movie I've ever seen. I was totally on board for about the first half or so, but then it just went so off the rails. Joaquin is amazing in it, though, and the filmmaking is fantastic. Ultimately, I didn't love "Midsommar" as much as I thought I would. It felt like an updated version of "The Wicker Man" in a lot of ways, and definitely felt like it could have been 20-30 minutes shorter (same for 'Beau' actually). Hannah & Ash's reactions were great, though.
Oh, Joaquin Phoenix as the protagonist in an Ari Aster movie can fuck right off. I'd like to keep my sanity, thank you very much.
Trainwreck of a film
Is the whole thing like a dream sequence or something? I've only seen the trailer...but couldn't decipher the plot at all.
If you want to see another movie dealing with the occult in rural Sweden, check out The Ritual. Very underrated flick IMO.
There's actually an easter egg of Dani's sister's face present in the trees as she's getting carried as May queen. Idk if y'all saw it. Also, the painting in the beginning depicts the entire story unfolding. Lot of little clues in Aster's films. Great reaction!
You two should watch The Babadook, it's another horror movie that plays on mental illness mixed with horror, I think it's genuinely scarier than Midsommar and Hereditary 😁
It really isnt. Imo
It is scarier, very underrated tho
@@KelpyG. It certainly isn't as pretentious as these movies.
@@ArdinVincent Why pretentious?
Not arguing. Sincerely curious
@@アキコ2003nah
At 6:47 - Wherever Dani's family is, it's not where Dani is. Dani is in a grad school dorm in Brooklyn, New York. That is why Dani got the phone call to tell her what happened to her family.
I loved this movie, so scary and unexpected in broad daylight. Imagine dressing up like that for Halloween
It's so cute how Ash exerts all these "powers" if he were in their situation...:) "If you come near me, a pox upon thee and thine!!!!" :D
I saw this great “symbolisms” thing on twitter forever ago that I’m sure Ash will appreciate; if this commune is Wonderland, then Pelle is the tornado that brought them there. Obviously his intent is not outright villainy or malice, but his intent is absolutely to recruit Dani. I think killing the others as sacrifices becomes incidental once he realizes that he has his hooks in Dani. At the table scene, when she mentions that supposedly Simon left without Connie, she tells Christian that she can imagine him abandoning her that same way (mirroring the dream she had the previous night). When Dani says this, a very hesitant but obvious smile curls itself comfortably on to Pelle’s face. That moment tells you everything you need to know lmao
hf: I'm not being obnoxious about it. I just want to mention that it's The tornado that takes Dorothy to Oz and Alice chased the White Rabbit down the rabbit hole into Wonderland (after she fell asleep).
Either story parallel works, but maybe the madness of Wonderland is stronger
"You'll be nice on a fire" lol, you caught on to him a lot faster than I did. At first I thought he was the clueless guy out of his element who just wants to go home. I had a big surprise coming.
Hey Ash, just want to say, I absolutely love the way you've edited this. It's phenomenal!
I just got chills times 100. When you said at 4:12, 'Did you know she was bullied in school?' I was just entering 'bullying in school' into Google Trends simultaneously, completely unrelated because I was doing SEO research on my other screen on the side.
Wow you guys saw the drink was different right away but took a while for the dots to connect. Totally satisfying when they did though! One of the best reactions I've ever seen to this movie. You two wear your emotions on your sleeves.
What really strikes me with this film is how realistic the gore is.
The psychedelic scenes whenever they eat mushrooms is so accurate its crazy how accurate they were able to get it
The best things about watching Midsommar is that your lives are never the same again! I love watching the reactions lol
“the geezer bought all his mates to watch!”
There were so many scenes here that I never saw and I’ve seen this movie like 3 times. I need to go find the director’s cut so I can see all of this! Ari Aster is brilliant.
Jumping off the cliff was a reference to the old viking "'ættestup" where the elders jumped off a cliff to not be a burden to their community
As a swede, this is accurate in some ways to how we celebrate "Midsommar" people might die some way or another.
Ari used the same jump-to-bolognese/decapitated ant head scare in Hereditary
Love you guys! This is a great film. It always feels like the director's response to a challenge to make a horror film set in constant daylight. Obviously, he succeeded...
"I'd be like, do you guys have a website so I can check your reviews?" 🤣♥
This is the funniest reaction (to any movie) i have ever seen😂😂
Much love from Brazil! 👏🏻🙏🏻
Love you mate ❤️
14:03 now every cult recruiter knows how to properly welcome Hannah lol
Excellent choice. Love Midsommar & Hereditary .
His hereditary reaction is amazing
@@theCommentDevil I watched.
@@ashtonturner2862 he almost fell over if I remember 😂
Ari Aster is great at directing scary stuff
"Hey, I got it thank you very much!"...hilarious.
I literally clicked on this video to see how Hannah deals with this movie😅 even the strongest of people have failed to deal with this craziness❤❤❤❤❤love you Hannah maybe don't eat before a movie like this next time😂😂😂😂
But where’s my love?????????
@@justtrustash I love yr reactions together just unreal you’re like the best team ever. U figure things out so we’ll ! Keep up with these reactions please! You guys have to react to the movie “ Fall” sooooo goooood❤❤❤❤
@@justtrustash Ash you got the love she’s sitting right next to you ❤😂
You guys need to watch tucker and Dale vs evil.. love your reactions
you guys NEED to watch SUSPIRIA, it's 2018's midsommar, I'd love to see you both putting the story together in such a brilliant manner as you did in this video, you two are fun, intelligent and charismatic people, count me in on the likes and comments :)
I love Ash. He's like "if ppl exist existing they make me uncomfortable "😂😂😂
I absolutely hated the part where they had that man hanging there inside out. I was with Hannah when she said “TURN IT OFF!” 🫣😂 And this is coming from someone who watches slashers… the director could’ve kept that to himself. 🤦🏾♀️
It's very clearly established that Dani and Christian's relationship is already deteriorating even before the events of the movie transpire, and it seemed like it was about to reach it's climax :( Christian's friends are chastising him and making him feel guilty for not breaking up with her, and he too seemed like he was fed up with Dani at this point and wanted to end things with her. This is a very common experience in relationships, where one person doesn't love the other anymore, but they're also hesitant about how or when to bring it up the other person. This isn't anything new, and it's especially not malicious. Either way, it's obvious that Christian was extremely close to breaking up with Dani. But it's at this point that he gets the phone call that pretty much turns his entire life upside-down, and all his plans are gone for a toss. His girlfriend's sister, mother and father are all dead and now she seemingly has no-one in her life except Christian. If you were the girlfriend of a man whose entire family just passed away, would you not hesitate to break up with him at that moment even if you had plans to do so? I think it takes a certain kind of psychopath to do something like that, and that's why this is one of the first signs that prove to me that Christian is not a bad person. He was just caught up in something he could have never prevented or had control over. What's keeping him in this relationship is only his sympathy for Dani, but his emotional connection with her was severed a long time ago. I think what this also establishes well is that Christian, in his mind, had already broken up with her :(
the lighthouse is amazing too ♥
They took his leg and his tongue...they took his leg and his tongue! I'm dying. Ash thanks for the laughs Brotha!
Hey Ash!
You and Hannah got to check out this movie
“Cape Fear” from 1991
The film’s visual symbolisms are potent!!
And Hannah will go over the moon for the acting in this movie!
A strong movie Ash.
If you understand what I’m saying…
It's also great to do as a double feature with the original. For a while they sold both movies as single DVD package. I love both the original and the remake.
"On top of spagetti all covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed..." 😮😅😂
🤣🤣 resin is the sticky brown black stuff in pipes/bongs.
If you smoke weed and your broke resin is the way to go 😂
You guys really need to watch The Fly from 1986 at some point. It's guaranteed to cause a visit by no-neck-Hannah.
About the two elders jumping. There is a concept in Swedish/Nordic folklore about the "Ättestupa".
It is not really verified in any way so it is probably more of an urban legend than something actually true, but the rumors have it that as someone became old and frail and no longer could contribute to the community (even if it was just babysitting or doing less physical chores) they would go up the Ättestupa and jump to their deaths, or go out on the ice to freeze to death. There'd be a feast before so everyone could say goodbye.
However, as I mentioned, as far as I know there has been no recorded mention of such an event actually taking place. No stories, writings or anything apart from some cliffs being refered to as "Ättestupa". So I would assume it is not actually something that happened.
I can’t lie, I’ve got a major girl crush on Hannah 😍 she’s just so gorgeous and she’s super smart and has a very intuitive mind when it comes to ✨symbolism✨….y’all have such great chemistry together, and you both compliment each other’s personalities so well! You guys really are my favorite reaction channel and I hope the channel continues to grow and flourish! You guys are a breath of fresh air!
The old men jumping from cliff that was actual real tradition of the North Europeans,they did that not to burden their families. I remember also the opening of the back of the victim in the Vikings series it was called blood eagle,they were doing it to the enemies ,the victim was alive and if he didnt scream he would go to Valhala
Let’s be honest. Hannah is the TRUE art piece…
Look at that set of hair, our man is slowly turning into an ancient Persian General
Also fun fact: Senicide is actually something that might've existed in ancient pagan Scandinavia
Also that thing they did to Josh is called a blood eagle, they used to cut the back open, cut out the ribs and pull out the lungs as if they were wings, all while the victim was still alive
Yeah antiquity was fun 😂
Love this film so much.
The three American men are like embodiments of everything that’s wrong with modern American culture: fear of commitment, inability to form proper relationships, blind careerist ambition and childish pleasure-seeking. They can’t give Dani what she needs when she’s experiencing the worst grief and trauma of her life. Then the Horga present themselves as a real, loving community who look out for each other and live in harmony. I love it because it’s simultaneously a critique of modern culture and a warning about false alternatives.
Incredibly a lot of people saw this as a “girl boss” movie and thought it has a happy ending. Like “Yas you go girl!!” Absolutely blew my mind how stupid some people are, that they thought the film where a fascist death cult exploits a vulnerable woman’s trauma in order to kidnap and indoctrinate her was some kind of life-affirming happy-clappy feel-good film. Dark times we live in, honestly.

You're taking the outside observer's perspective. While anyone who sees this as a happy ending for her is looking at it from her perspective. How she went from a girl with no family, not much of any friendships, in an awful relationship and depressed to all hell for months. To someone who gets a brand new life, full of supportive, loving family and friends. There's probably an asterisk here and there, like they might kill her if she betrays them, but that new life is certainly preferable for her over being back on her couch crying, having no loved ones.
@@bajjanitor I mean, that is what a cult does. Prey on the vulnerable. It was a real bonus that they did not need to separate her from her family, since her family was already dead. However, if they had not died, then she might not have been so psychologically vulnerable to be a good prospect. Double bonus. All that was needed to separate her from her already semi-distant boyfriend...after he provided the community with a seed.
I am sure that many people who are recruited into cults are overjoyed when they are accepted in, usually after fully being cut off from everything that they were before.
@@AT-rr2xw You keep looking at it from an outsiders perspective. Do you realize that? You're completely talking past the point I made.
@@bajjanitor Yes, I am sure that if I were effectively indoctrinated into a murderous cult, then there would be plenty of times that I was happy to be in the cult and might even get murderously defensive if someone were to call it a murderous cult. Happy happy happy. Now, whether I would be genuinely happy all of the time as opposed to occasionally resigned to the thought of there being no alternatives available to me is I guess beyond the scope of this discussion.
It is like how 1984 has a happy ending.
@@AT-rr2xw M'kay.
