Midsommar

Now i want to take some shrooms. ———Spoilers/Review——— That opening shot of the cool looking mural transitioning into a dark, snowy forest landscape, oo la laa. I really enjoyed the pre-Sweden stuff. Though, not to say it went downhill in Sweden. I guess i just dig winter aesthetics more than summer. The movie in general was very visually appealing. Ari Aster loves to start his films with some kind of disaster. First it was Charlie's head getting chopped off by a telephone pole, and this time, i guess they decided to kill off Dani's whole family. Holy shit dude. The Swedish guy "Pelle" instantly gave me the creeps. That off-putting smile/smirk he had going on. Plus, he was just way too positive. And highkey, fuck Christian too. Josh's death was unfortunate, but he kinda deserved it. Those elders were very strict and clear about not taking pictures or anything like that. The other deaths though, yeah, not cool. That "love story" depiction was out of pocket. I know it was a nudge towards what was later going to happen to Christian, but still, yuck. WHERE WAS THE HORROR, ARI?! This film was just very weird, slightly disturbing and trippy. It wasn't scary at all, tbh. I really liked Hereditary because the weirdness and scariness went hand-in-hand. Midsommar just decided to go 110% in the weirdness direction. No clue why this film was marked as horror. Swedish people are so weird. Glad i'm Finnish. In conclusion: GOOD.
