Midsommar (Ari Aster, July 3, 2019) Movie • Page 53

The one shot that I come back to in both viewings of Midsommar was the upside down shot of moving up the road towards the village. Combined with the score, it’s a very haunting piece.

 

that shot of the maypole dance when all the other dancers are bowing and Dani is still standing up
or pretty much any part of that whole sequence

 

And Dani in the full dress slugging along at the very end. It’s so good.

 

I finally saw this last night and skimmed the 53 pages but didn’t see this mentioned...

The sign you see upside down is actually an anti-immigrant sign.

 

Finally bought this today and threw it on. My Fiancé has had zero interest in watching this and wasn’t crazy about Hereditary, and she said she was gonna shower so I figured I’d start it and finish it later, but she decided to sit down and watch the whole thing.

Turned to me at the very end with the most horrified look and said “the end of Heriditary genuinely disturbed me, and this was that for well over an hour.”

Said she loved it and is reevaluating her thoughts on Hereditary which is cool.

 

Not as good as Hereditary, but still good.

 

I made a friend watch Hereditary the other day, he sent me a message the next day about it gave him nightmares about his loved ones dying.

 

I keep thinking about how satisfying the director’s cut was. Both stuck with me but I’m really in love with that cut.

 

I've had a reoccurring nightmare since I watched that movie. I'll wake up at night from it and be terrified to fall back asleep or even go to the bathroom. so sick lol

 

Fuck yessssss

 

I know that meme is a joke, but it also made me think, as someone who’s really leaned on a close friend the last couple years through a time of grief, Christian’s detachment was the most nightmarish aspect of Midsommar to me.

 

Watched Hereditary then Midsommar this week, went into both movies knowing nothing, and loved them both. Crazy shit

 

prime 1/3

 

Is this January 3?

 

yep

 

This movie has had the effect of making me weirdly emotional whenever I see Florence Pugh, like in the Black Widow trailer before Star Wars I was just like “I hope Dani is doing okay”

 

Oh my god I do that too. Every time I see her in trailers (which is a lot lately), I’m just like, “Aww, there she is. Good for her. Hope everything’s better now.”

 

Yes. The same thing happens for me when I see Toni Colette or Alex Wolff. It felt really good for Toni Colette to make me laugh in Knives Out. It’s a testament to how real Ari Aster’s films feel.

 

I have no interest in The Black Widow other than Florence and David Harbour

 

ngl I am only going to see Black Widow because of her

 

No way I’ll be seeing it, but the two of them together is a treat.

 

I want Russian accent Florence to shoot me with a gun

 

Is that a Marvel movie? Hard pass

 

But Florence....
