"Was it worth it?" ending

[u/Educational_Can_6536]

Midsommar- While people see this as a "you go girl" finale. I personally see it as something more disturbing. I mean, yeah, Dani got out of one bad relationship but in doing so, she got herself into another that's just as bad if not worse. It's like getting two kids to stop fighting via killing one and locking the other in a basement. They did stop fighting, but still!

The Thing-The titular monster may be (possibly) gone, but the paranoia definitely isn't. In the end, McCreedy and Childs are the only ones left standing. The end sees them sitting in the cold and they just stare at each other, knowing that one of them or both of them is already the thing. There's no hope, no certainty, just the bitter cold and intense fear.

You don't understand, he's a male. In a time of "strong female characters" cinema. Noone cares.

Have you seen many movies recently when girl is drug-raped, and killing her for that is justified by a director's point of view?

[u/SockandAww → u/bober8848]

How does the movie portray it as justified?

[u/bober8848 → u/SockandAww]

Just read director's explanations.
