I decided to watch Midsommar and I put it on pause to write my thoughts so far. I'm really enjoying it.
Nothing but spoilers below.
Did they just make the damn Swedish Festival Massacre
. I was about to say this isn't a horror movie more like an eerie movie until this point but
. There no way you make a horror genre movie and include a scene with someone dieing to a hammer/mallet to the head, then drag them away, while someone is wearing another person's face and not have it be an homage to TCM. I was like damn a white boy can piss on all their dead family but the brother has to be the first to die
then saw the Leatherface
I'm thinking the movies themes are about death and tradition. Im loving the little clues they're leaving for the film. I don't really understand that weird ass painting with the public hair but I think it's a courting tradition. The Swedish guy's sister did it to the boyfriend and put her period blood in his drink. Everyone else was drinking lemonade and
he was drinking that V8 mangoo. Another red flag was the London Swedish guy said he was dating the one girl and the girl was like lol we weren't dating. Then the boyfriend leaves without her after watching those people jump off the cliff
. I know they said they bring outsiders in. I also think the Swedish guy set up the boyfriend to be with his sister. The sister was looking at herself in the mirror like she was nervous, like B Rabbit wiping off mom's spaghetti before he goes out to battle.
Yup just like TCM after the hammer to the head, I was glued to the screen like
watching pure fukkery unfold. Only thing I don't get is why Florence Pugh was smiling. It can't be as simple as watching her boyfriend that cheated on her die. Maybe the thing was a pagan ritual to bring the black one back and it took over her body idk.
