A gentle slaughter.

In the face of faith, all things can be used to pay homage. To me, this is a conspiracy. This tribe is far away from the town, like a paradise, where the scenery is beautiful, everyone looks warm, but strange, in fact, they are like corpses, dominated by some so-called belief, they are extremely religious . Those two seemingly friendly people were responsible for going out to make friends, and then graciously invited the tribe to relax. In fact, the purpose was to bring back the "prey" and then wait for a gentle slaughter. When you want to start escaping, you are already a lamb under the butcher's hands and cannot fight back.

It can be seen that the "prey" will continue to come, and their slaughter will not stop.

I watched it myself, and I took my wife to watch it again. To be honest, what I admire the most is the way the film is shot and the atmosphere is rendered. Made me feel extremely uncomfortable many times.

Midsommar quotes

  • 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?

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