Midsommar (2019)
2/10
FAST FORWARD
15 March 2023
This movie was an inspiration! I learned a whole new viewing technique. Movies like this one, with utterly predictable plots, can be recorded and then viewed mostly in fast forward. It's a variation on the long lauded technique of watching with the sound off, only better.

There's no need to wade through the belabored dialogue and the just going through the motions performances. A great teacher once taught me it's more important what you leave out than what you put in. Midsommar is 2 1/2 hours long. With my approach you can leave most of it out - since the writer/director didn't have the artist sense to do so. I made it through this in less than an hour including the time to write this.

You will, of course, be able to stop FF to watch the shockingly bloody scenes in their entirety, assuming that's what you came to see. There's also some creepy sex scenes guaranteed to leave you limp and lifeless.

I have ranted here from time to time about the poor quality of American film making in recent years. I stand corrected. This films shows that terrible films are being written and produced in Scandinavia as well.

This is intended to be a horror film.

It accomplishes one thing, it is truly horrible.
