    As a Swede i feel like i should explain some things haha; the whole numbers thing is based on the number 9, the number 9 was very important to vikings. At 17:21 they're speaking Norse if i recall which is the precursor to Swedish so yes and no to it being Swedish lol. The stuff they're drinking is "Snaps" which is it's own thing but it's pretty similar to vodka and consumed during Midsommar and Christmas. The story behind the cliff thing, "Ättestupa", is also a viking thing where you would willingly commit senicide to get to Valhalla if you didn't die in battle. The redhead is 15 because they mention "byxmyndig" i remember and 15 is the age of consent in Sweden. At 33:55, the guy in the shed is alive as they did a "Blodörn" aka "Blood eagle" which was a viking torture/ritual method where, long story short, you split the persons ribs from the back and pull the lungs out and they sort of appear like an eagle and you slowly die.

      Friendly reminder that the "blood eagle" was likely not a thing. I'm no historian but from what I've learned there's no evidence from the time period that it happened, and all the sources are from later Christian writing hundreds of years later or something. Even if there were stories about it from the Vikings, it could easily be that they were fiction and not a widely practice thing. Blood eagle is about as real as Viking helmet horns

    Also… fun fact: Jack Reynor, who plays Christian, came up with the idea of running naked after the barn scene. He argued that it’s always the women who gets to be naked and vulnerable in horror films. Figured it was time to show off some of that with the men. I thought it was a rather interesting change of pace. It’s almost rare to see us men naked in horror films.

The fear cames not from a last minute shocker but because you know the characters are into a danger that they are unaware but the audiences know or are clued into beforehand. There's different ways to create tension and sispense and for many people what works very well is knowing that the characters are in danger but unaware, thus creating a sense of tension and impeding doom.

    I was away on vacation and by the time I came back to my college town, the movie was nearly done with its run. I caught THE VERY LAST screening of the movie. The showing started from 2200 onwards, and I was THE ONLY PERSON in the theatre. Just me.
    At various points I kept questioning if I was actually seeing something in the movie or like hallucinating stuff lol. When the trees and flowers etc started to warp and pulse, I thought I was going a lil crazy. And there was no one in that dark, lonely theatre to confirm my suspicions.
    I then had to bike back home in the dark, past midnight. I started walking up a steep hill with my bike near the end of my journey. That's when I saw a man slowly, creepily, waving at me from a window in a house. I nearly JUMPED OUT of my skin, only to realize that I had just seen the silhouette of a potted plant and some knick-knack next to it, placed on a window sill.
    I only managed to calm down after eating some 2min noodles, and watching interviews with the director and the cast.

    The movie is like a very dark take on the wizard of Oz. The turbulence on the plane is the tornado. The yellow flowers on the trail represent the yellow brick road. Mark is the Scarecrow (no brain and stuffed with Straw), Josh is the Tinman (no emotion, very robotic about his reasons for being there), and Christian is the Cowardly Lion (no courage, literally stuffed into an animal.) Dani even sees glimpses of her sister and parents while there (like Dorothy saying she had a dream and recognizing all of her friends and family in Oz.) In the end, like Dorothy, Dani finds her way "home."

    This is truly the sister movie to Hereditary. Both about a cult utilizing someone's trauma over a loved one dying in a car related incident to crown them a king and queen at the end after their psyche has been reduced to nothing. One cult shrouded and hiding in the dark, one out and proud in the blazing sunlight, both cults with a member showering kindness on the protagonist to manipulate them further, the comparisons go on.

    • @jlilley73
      @jlilley73 Месяц назад

      Yeah, even before reading your comment I felt like these were two very similar movies. Both utterly humorless (not that a horror movie needs humor). Both basically start with a horrible death that puts the protagonists in unbearable grief. Both sets of protagonists basically ensnared in a trap from the get-go that they have no realistic hope of escaping. For those reasons, I preferred Hereditary -- having seen it first, this one felt like a bit of a rerun, although I appreciate its novel aspects.

    I thought I had experienced family issues and past breakup trauma, until I discovered Ari’s films 🎥. There is a growing sense of unease and tension throughout the film, which IMO goes away once the yellow house burns. Dani has surrendered, and found a replacement family but the darkness has been replaced by a deceptive, luminous future. The world has turned upside down such as we saw when they drove to the village for the festival. Life has been upended forever.

    Well now Beau Is Afraid has to be put up on a poll in the future.
    The only issue will be deciding what genre it should be under. Horror? Comedy? Psychological art-film? Domestic drama?
    It might just be easiest to call it a horror comedy, it may be the only movie I have ever seen that is intentionally comedic by way of making everything so excessively frightening that it breaks your brain and you laugh.
    I know a lot of people were frustrated and dissatisfied by that film, and I think all the criticism is very valid, but it’s still a very unique movie I think everyone should see at least once to form their own opinion on.

The only true parts of the celebration is basically a bit how ppl dress sometimes, the dancing around the pole (not the “to the last”-person thing tho) and that there’s drinking and feasting. Irl it’s just very much a long day of drinking ALOT and eating good with your friends and family. And playing some (non deadly) games. Under the midnight sun hehe

    The MayQueen dance ritual is based on the old folklore of "Hårgadansen" where the Devil disguised as a fiddler appeared in Hårga (which is where the movie is supposed to take place) and lured all the youths in the community to dance for hours to their deaths.

    Throughout the film, there are hidden images in the background. When they take Dani on that platform, her sister's dead face can be seen in the trees in the background.
    There are a few more, but I haven't taken the time to look for them.

    My understanding of Josh's character is that his flaw is his single minded focus on his work. That's why he's so oblivious to what's going on around him. That's also why he'd take the risk of photographing the book. When Mark, who was sitting close to Josh, is lead away to his death we can see that Josh doesn't even notice. Everyone in this friend group is flawed and that's what makes them easy targets. I think Simon and Connie were the only ones who were paying attention to things and that's why they were killed first.

    17:27 ~ the old codger is Björn Andrésen. In the 70s at 15 he was designated "The Most Beautiful Boy in the World" and there's an interesting documentary of the same title. His image greatly inspired male characters in manga & anime in the 70s and 80s. Trailer's worth a quick glimpse on RUclips.

    Tripping time varies depending on what it is that you end up taking.
    It usually takes 30 mins to an hour + to kick in, but when it does you're on a ride for at least 6 to 8 hours +.
    Do not partake unless you are prepared.
    It's not like alcohol or other things where you can just go to sleep to wear it off.

    God this movie really turned an incredibly fun, joyous tradition we have into something so sinister. During midsummer we just eat a ton of herring, potatos, get incredibly drunk and dance around a "fertility pole" representing the growth and flourishing of life during summer. Had a pretty hard time with this movie as it paints us as being incredibly backward savages. I know it's just a movie, but stupid people believe everything at face value even if it's fiction, lol. Taking psychadelics during midsummer is a blast though, like they did in this movie (maybe not if you're dealing with an incredibly traumatic event though) just make sure to drink a ton of water, it's incredibly hot and the sun never really sets during midsummer, it's the brightest day of the year for us.

    54:30 Dani's story is largely about her failing relationship. It had ended a year before and strained harder when her family was destroyed and he wasn't present to help with that, making it even worse when she see Christian doing the thing.
    It was her catharsis and the last thing holding her back from her new life
