Pelle and the May Queen [ Midsommar ]

SPOILERS for Midsommar! Blurry, 70s-inspired spoilers. Watch in 1080 p for the best viewing experience!
.
Pelle’s character as almost like the Pied Piper to Dani, Christian, Josh, and Mark has always interested me. Especially prevalent is the fascination he has with Dani throughout the film (for the purpose of her being the next May Queen, or otherwise). Reading through interviews, Ari Aster intended Midsommar to be a metaphorical break-up film, loosely basing Dani’s characteristics on his own. Everyone in the film, besides her, is largely toxic. Pure psychological horror. But, I enjoy juxtaposition, hence the ABBA song. Also, Sweden.

"Do you feel held by him? Does he feel like home to you?"
This is how you make a woman's heart fracture and burn.

Aww this was beautiful! There's not enough Dani/Pelle content out there. I love our beautiful queen and her manipulative softboy cultist king!

[@excellentbees4408]

Thank you so much, haha! ✨☺️ Dani is such a gem!
Pelle is like candy with razors stuffed inside, but it is perfect for the film!

The sexiest thing you can do to a cancer woman is validate her feelings

[@merebrillante]

This is why Midsommar is such a great movie. Watching this compilation of clips - isolating the Dani/Pelle dynamic - makes me cringe back in horror. The movie as a whole contains so much to unpack.

[@excellentbees4408]

You are so right. Every relationship is incredibly dense! There is so much more to this film than meets the eye.

[@disappointedcreepyaj8168]

He loved her more than Christian ever did

[@excellentbees4408]

Disappointed creepy AJ Honestly! He showed her more compassion in a few days than her boyfriend seemingly ever did. Regardless of his intention for the group, he emphasized that he cared about her.

[@a.a.g.h.1679]

That's love bombing. It's a tactic abusers and cult leaders use to lure vulnerable people in.

[@disappointedcreepyaj8168]

@@a.a.g.h.1679 but he was nice to her before the cult stuff

[@disappointedcreepyaj8168]

Plus he kissed her after she's already may queen

[@chrystianaw8256]

Are you sure about that? He manipulated her and the people she came with.

This song is perfect!

💖✨ Amazing.

[@foxrex351]

pelle killed the girls parents, it litterally paints the picture for you at the beginning of the movie!

[@excellentbees4408]

Christian’s group of friends was opportune for Pelle to prey on! Dani’s family dying was icing on the cake. He brought in sacrifices and the new May Queen, so extra points for him...very creepy.

[@TimeandMonotony]

He didn't kill her parents, Ari Aster confirmed in a Reddit AMA that neither he nor the Harga were involved in their deaths, he just ("just") took advantage of the emotional state their deaths and her awful relationship with Christian and general lack of support structure left her in to manipulate her into joining the "family."

[@kieranicoletv6132]

lol but he didn’t kill her parents? ari aster actually said confirmed that it was false

[@sierrastanley3109]

Her sister killed their parents in a murder-sucide
