CINEMA, it is

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2020)

Ive always love cultures and wonder how these cultures originated and how related or interconnected our culture is in everywhere. Though in Midsommar, in order to show such culture, it shows in a feeling of fear and disturbance as what the Director may have intended, and I bet many are really did disturbed. But it shows how people are really afraid and close-minded for the cultural differences. Thus, making a division. Thou, many may have told that it was long-ass boring, it wasn't for me. I find it very interesting all throughout the film with every shot is depicting and making me feel something... The characters also did well with their difference, the only thing that bothered me is that Josh wasn't being cautious enough despite his knowledge to anthropology and this kind of cultures and despite how real they actually performed such ceremonies even to that modern age...I also feel like this kind of culture/system is actually justified to maintain the balance of the society, such as the controlled number of people(attestupa, sacrifices, and breeding,) distribution of works, and their predetermined(maybe not) life path which is also a system that can be found in the modern period. The difference is that somehow in this society there is no economic/social stratification as Pelle said that they are a "real family" that shares their own pain, and does not bicker of what's theirs and nots, because they believed that all is from the nature(maybe Pantheism) Thus they give have a unique perspective/understanding for the essence of life and death.
