Midsommar (Ari Aster, July 3, 2019) Movie • Page 2

Also based on his adoration of Bergman, I am expecting some serious influence from there and that has me more excited than anything else.

 

Oh baby

 

Hot take: Alex Wolff’s crying was spot on. It’s so unnatural and odd, but that tends to be what crying sounds like when you’re really grieving. His performance is what helped the film feel so unnerving and realistic to me along with Toni Colette of course.

Excited for the new film.

 

The crying was like, what, 0.12% of the whole movie?

I can't believe something that tiny and inconsequential is still talked about, haha

 

Haha. Well in peoples defense, it can only take one scene. For instance, I’m a huge fan of Dark Knight Rises but I can never think about it without thinking about Marion Cotillard’s hilarious death scene which is a real shame.

 

I've only seen that movie once and remember nearly nothing from it, but I think that's an uneven comparison. One is a character crying for 10-20 seconds and the other is a characters' death and final scene, which is supposed to have finality and much more weight.

 

It would be like watching a comedy movie where an actor does a bad job at fake laughing in one scene and then saying they sucked overall because of that one bad laugh, lol

 

The scene in the car is enough to definitively prove that Alex Wolff was fantastic in Hereditary. Like it's not even a conversation.

 

Absolutely. That long hold on his face is going to be a really iconic moment in cinema years from now.

 

And to be clear, all art is subjective in every way, so I have no issue if someone says they didn't like his performance in general. I just don't think pinning his entire performance on one tiny, tiny scene makes sense and isn't valid to me.

 

RE Alex Wolff - it was weird seeing him in Hereditary and THEN in Jumanji.

 

To be clear, I didn’t dislike the movie or his performance entirely because of his terrible crying

 

Trailer on Tuesday

 

Can’t decide if I want to watch or not. I’m not normally against trailers like some people, but for this I feel like going in knowing nothing will be special for this. I did that with Us and I’m so hyped.

 

I'm going to want to not watch it but I feel like images from it and discussion of it will be inescapable so idk.

 

Just watch the trailer.

 

i am not gonna watch the trailer unless it is put in front of my face at a movie theater which is highly likely

 

I hate trailers these days, they spoil everything. I'm going to do my best to avoid it but I'm not confident I'll be able to.

 

i agree, but funny enough, the Hereditary trailer added to the viewing experience. a lot of misdirects in there that made the big swings hit harder

 

I went into hereditary blind and I’m gonna probably try to do the same with this

 

There was one major moment in the trailer that I wasn’t sure was an actual spoiler until the scene came up, and it did bum me out to know what was going to happen before it did. Everything else did a good job of getting me interested without ruining plot points.

 

Yeah showing the Gabriel Burns (get it) scene in the trailer was lame

 

i actually forgot about that my b

 

Hey, that’s my joke! Lol.

 

Fully hype and on board for this.
