horror night

The film tells the story of a group of anthropology graduate students and psychology graduate students who are led by members of an ancient community to their base to be killed or assimilated. The name of the movie is A Midsummer Night, but in fact the horror of a sunny day is no less than that of a dark night. For the heroine, on one side is modern American society, where all her social support is facing collapse, family, boyfriend, friends, and on the other side, in the name of tradition and faith, they sacrifice the lives of others at will. Between death and assimilation, the heroine chooses assimilation. Here, she gets the social support she lacks and the sense of value endowed by the community. At the same time, she has the power to control her boyfriend's life. He chooses her boyfriend to sacrifice. Not out of hatred for her boyfriend. She studied psychology, didn't she realize that her boyfriend ignored her at first, but she couldn't face this reality, and she has been trying to keep the male protagonist by compromising and compromising. The boyfriend was finally sentenced. The collision of the two cultures, each with a sense of identity and superiority to their own culture. Anthropologists think that they can hold a tolerant and accepting attitude and admit that they are different from their own values, but they commit acts of stealing, peeping, insulting, etc., which are despised and disrespected from the bottom of their hearts. On the tribe's side, it has been faithful to its traditions, treating the lives of pagans as pigs and dogs, unless they are willing to be part of the collective. The expression "others is hell" is best articulated here.

    The whole movie is flat. If the first half is still immersed in its excellent audio-visual language and shot scheduling, the second half will naturally pay more attention to the direction of the story and look forward to a plot that can support the entire movie. It's a pity that the director ignored the inner layering when he was eager to show us various cult activities, which made the film lack the charm of Hereditary's slow accumulation to push the whole story to a climax.

    [8.7] I thought that, as the art of dream-making, how to make people immersed in this dream is actually the key, so I have always attached great importance to the so-called movie-watching experience. Different people have different methods, which may be wonderful The script may be an intense group show, or it may be a cool special effect. Ariste uses the most essential but most difficult method of film, audiovisual language. From hereditary doom to this Midsummer Nightmare, it becomes a story, a theme, and a tone. But what remains unchanged is Ali's obsession with each shot. With the blessing of the cult theme, this feature is even more prominent. A large number of shots with well-defined front, middle and back scenes have almost become his trademark. Ali presided over a grand cult ceremony in the form of a movie this time, and he is the leader of the cult. When the movie ended, I found that my brows were furrowed, just like when I watched Hereditary Doom, I knew that I had tested the bottom and entered the cult. .

Midsommar quotes

  • Christian: That's cultural, you know? We stick our elders in nursing homes. I'm sure they find that disturbing.

  • Christian: Hey, dude.

    Josh: Hey. Holy shit, right?

    Christian: Are you okay?

    Josh: Yeah, fine.

    Christian: Good.

    [pause]

    Christian: Hey, listen. Um... I've been thinking about something that I wanted to ask you, or tell you, actually. Um... I've been thinking a lot about my thesis, and, um, I've decided I'm going to do it here, on Hårga. And I wanted to tell you first, just so it didn't seem like I wasn't telling you.

    Josh: I feel like... I feel like I can't tell if you're joking.

    [pause]

    Josh: I mean, you know I'm doing my thesis on midsummer. That's the reason why I'm here.

    Christian: Yeah... Yeah, but not on this community. I mean, you're going to Germany and England next.

    Josh: Well, you knew I was gonna want to do this.

    Christian: No.

    Josh: Oh my God...

    Christian: I mean, did you even know until just now?

    Josh: Christian, of course you did.

    Christian: Okay, do you think I don't know what you're doing? It's actually kind of outrageously unsubtle. The fact that you're being this bald about it. I'm honestly kind of impressed.

    Josh: What the fuck, man? What does that mean?

    Josh: Yeah, what the fuck! This is what I've been working toward, and you know it. That's why you look so guilty right now because you know... You know that what you're doing is unethical and leechy and lazy, and frankly it's kind of sad.

    Christian: Fuck you.

    Josh: No, dude, not fuck me. Find your own subject or your own passion. And... Because... All right, look. This... I am... I am actually invested in this. This is not some glorified hobby that I'm casually dipping my feet into.

    Christian: Okay. In case you hadn't noticed, Your Highness, we're doing the exact same degree.

    Josh: No, but not in the same way, Christian! Okay? I have to hold your little hand through everything. You didn't even know how to use JSTOR until I taught you, and you are a fucking grad student. Why are you even in academia? You don't care! Which is fine. That is your prerogative. But do not appropriate my actual work for your new shortcut.

    Christian: [pause] I'm gonna do my thesis here. If you're going to do it here too, I'm open to collaborating. And if not, I guess we can both do separate theses on the Hargas.
