This motif is very much laced throughout the movie with there being mentions of life being divided into seasons. In the Hargas we learn that children under the age of 18 are considered to be in the spring section of their life. Ages 18 to 36 are considered to be Summer and this is age bracket that the central cast fit into. The film is also set in summer hence the title and thus this why we mainly focus on them. Autumn is classed as ages 36-54 and Winter is classed as 54-72 when the group die. However, as we know the group don’t mind seeing death before this as several characters are sacrificed throughout the movie. Christian is sacrificed at the end of the film after Dani takes up the position and he is stuffed into a bear and burned alive. This motif of a Bear and Queen can also be seen in the film early on when we see a picture of a bear and girl with a crown on hanging above a bed. This is a painting by John Bauer, a swedish artist known for making paintings of swedish folklore and mythology. Just before Christian is told that he can impregnate a member of the group we also see an image of a bear being burned alive. He is placed in a chair, directly infront of it which means that he can do nothing but look at it. It is placed on the wall against the room that he is about to go into and this will be where he decides to betray Dani or not. It tells him his fate however he does nothing to avoid this and thus he is paralysed much in the same way that he is paralysed at the end of the film. ► Artist Attribution Music By: "KaizanBlu" Track Name: "Take Me With You" • Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kaizanblu/ • SoundCloud - https://soundcloud.com/kaizanblu/ • Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/kaizanblumusic/ • TikTok - @kaizanblu http://vm.tiktok.com/aCYwfx/ • YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUtx... • DOWNLOAD @ https://www.chilloutmedia.com/kaizanblu Licence: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) - Full licence here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/... • Music released by: Chill Out Records @ https://goo.gl/fh3rEJ & https://www.LoFi-HipHop.com ► Artist Attribution Music By: "Who I Want To Be" Track Name: "My Favorite Song Is Your Heartbeat" • YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRBw... • Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/horusmusic.... • SoundCloud - https://soundcloud.com/who-i-want-to-be • Music released by: Chill Out Records https://goo.gl/fh3rEJ • DOWNLOAD @ https://www.ChillOutMedia.com/who-i-w...

During a rewatch, noticed something new that I haven’t seen mentioned. After Dani is crowned May Queen, two of the flowers in her crown appear to breathe visually. They “breathe” faster in situations where Dani’s own breathing would quicken and heart race (when Pelle kisses her on the lips and when she is being encouraged to eat that fish whole). Most likely a sign that she is now in sync with nature!
Just watched it for the second time, and the experience is twice as intense, pretty sure it was meant to be rewatched. Being able to not mind as much about the plot and actually dive in and search for themes and symbolism puts you in a much more complete journey.
One of my favorite touches not in this video: the two villagers sacrificed during the ceremony were heavily suggested to be the ones who murdered the other outsiders. I imagine that way, even if the authorities caught wind of what happened they wouldn't be able to arrest anyone.
I feel like what made this movie so good is how realistic it seemed. The part especially where Dani is crying over the fact she got cheated on and the women join her. Grief is something you can see in many different cultures and what they are showing is a death wail. Where in death anyone could burst out screaming or crying in mourning the loss of someone, due to colonization though it was considered innapropriate to become too emotional even at a funeral. Its fascinating to see how well represented this topic is in this film.
I also noticed how death is portrayed with the color yellow. The temple, the yellow shirt Dani’s sister wears, the yellow pillows her parents have, even the yellow candle on dani’s birthday cake. Kinda foreshadows a bit
Simon - AIR (kept in the air with lungs released) Connie - WATER (being drowned) Josh - EARTH (buried towards the earth, legs up) Christian - FIRE 4 newcomers are sacrificed for the elements to be supportive of the village. Mark - JESTER Stuffed like a puppet with a jester's cap symbolizing him acting without any reflection. Because he doesn't have any sense of consequences (pissing on the tree), so he can be used as a puppet - so they wear his skin, his image; he is empty nonetheless.
The group was also messed with by the Hargas in regards to time of day. Throughout the film it’s always daytime and sunny but the shadows give us clues. In one scene they’re called for lunch but their shadows indicate the sun is low, so it would be either early morning or late afternoon. On a different scene they’re sitting down for supper, but the sun is high creating almost no shadow indicating it’s likely midday
It'd be pretty awkward for the Hårga if they figured out after killing Christian that Maja didn't get pregnant from the sex
Pelle is the most disturbing character, he led his "friends" to a cult to be sacrificed. It doesn't get any more psycho than that.
Midsommar, Hereditary, The Witch and The Lighthouse are four of the absolute best horror films in recent years. I would love to see Ari Aster and Robert Eggers collaborate on a horror film in the future.
Her sisters face in the trees is so haunting. I can't believe I missed it and yet when you know to look for it it's so shockingly apparent.
On danis flowerctown there’s a single flower that you can see pulsating open and close that’s really easy to miss but it pulses slower in calmer scenes for her and faster in more exciting moments for Dani so it’s kind of mimicking or representing her heartbeat
I really liked how this film consumed me and sort of made me feel like I was there with Dani. I don’t think anyone pointed out how well they did the scenes where Dani was on the verge of those panic attacks. You could practically feel her breathing through the screen, those scenes pulled me in, made me feel like my heart was racing and I myself was having a panic attack with her.
Here is one more : Dani, when she blows out the candles, breathes in and out quickly like the Hargas
U cn see gradually throughout the movie that dani would get more flowers on her. Like first its the crown, then the flower cape, and then at the end, she’s completely covered smiling eerily into the fire. Like her rebirth was complete, and that she was now fully consumed by the village and its people now.
My favorite detail in the movie is that, in almost EVERY SHOT, there's a triangle in the center, once you spot it, is very hard to miss, sometimes is very clear others, very subtle. It can get very eerie at times.....
You hear connie's death scream 3 times from 3 different perspectives, all in a row. By Josh in the Temple. By Dani in the kitchen. By Mark in front of the fire temple.
Strongly disagree that Dani was better off with the cult. Christian and Dani's relationship was toxic, yes, but that doesnt make it good he ended up being burned alive. The Hargas preyed upon her trauma and vulnerability which is what cults do. Her smile at the end looked more like a nervous breakdown than a happy smile to me.
Also during the first feast, when the camera angle zooms out you can see the shadow of the pole pointing towards Danny like an arrow
"Seduced" and "cheating" are weird ways to pronounce drugged and raped
