I am afraid.

I watched two cult films recently. Various wtf and pornographic plots alternated, and the pictures were very pure and beautiful. This extreme mismatch between the content and the image made me feel very uncomfortable and even wanted to watch the movie. At the end, I didn't understand the fart, but I burst into tears. I felt that my emotions were provoked, and the three views had been ravaged. In order to return to normal feelings, I had to use my rusty brain to think. There were many avalanches of small question marks about the plot. What is man, what is culture, and what is emotion? The answers to these questions are so terrifying that I don't even want to think about it, and this kind of movie forces me to think. u bad bad. That's why when I first finished watching "The Storm" and "A Midsummer Night's Fright," I hesitated to give them three stars. Not because of bad photography, but because I was born cowardly and timid. I am afraid.

    This director especially likes primitive cults, with mysterious symbols and weird throaty voices. Nude is not beautiful and scary. Fresh and savage, it is completely different from horror model dramas. There are almost no dark scenes on this midsummer night. , the bright sun is still scaring people to death, but it's a big deal just for a boyfriend

    The director focuses on using photography and sound effects to create an atmosphere. It is more eerie than scary. Compared to the previous work, I quite like the tone of this film. The director’s previous work was about cult worship, but this one goes further back to its origins. The construction of primitive tribes isolated from the world in modern civilization is equivalent to a utopian fantasy to a certain extent. The director uses a concept that goes against modern civilization ( In this tribe, there are no individuals, people are all part of the natural cycle, what really matters is the reproduction of the tribe) to "abuse" the spirit of the audience, and what really makes me feel that the hair is standing upright is that I actually think the concept of this tribe is a little bit. reason.

Midsommar quotes

  • [last lines]

    Mats: [In Swedish; to Ulf as he administers liquid via cotton swab onto his tongue] Take from the yew tree. Feel no pain.

    Mats: [In Swedish; to Ingemar, same procedure] Take from the yew tree. Feel no fear.

  • Irma: [announcing to the river, in Swedish] In thanks and praise, Great Goddess, we bestow upon you this modest gift.

    [Music is played as the men hoist up the lavish tree, run it towards the river, and hurl it into the water. The river gulps the tree down. A horn bellows]

    Sven: [theatrically, in Swedish] Oh no! Did you hear that rumbling? I think she is still hungry.

    Irma: [in Swedish] I heard no rumbling. Did any of you?

    [Grumblings all around. The consensus is "no."]

    Sven: [in Swedish] Ah, well, I suppose it could have been my own belly. But I do not wish to risk offending our generous Mother.

    Irma: [in Swedish] Nor do I. Yet we have already given our finest jewels and most fruitful tree. What else could we possibly offer?

    Bror: [in Swedish] You can use me!

    [the crowd opens up to reveal the young boy. He is adorned in the same jewels and flowers as the tree. His costume is an imitation of the tree's. He is clearly reciting lines]

    Irma: [in Swedish] You, young Bror, wish to offer your life to our beloved Goddess?

    Bror: [in Swedish] If she will have it.

    Sven: [in Swedish] How brave you are, little Bror!

    Bror: [in Swedish] Brave? What is brave in going home?
