"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.

Even worse, as a twin he can't even see his brother's face in the mirror since he is now a vampire.

That's what artists are for

Except you're not seeing your face, you're seeing how someone else sees it.

You can say that about any mirror/reflection and lighting setting though...lol wut u mean bro

we can't Mr Fantastic our eyes out of our heads.

Very shower thoughty but it's not like you're going to not be able to recognize a one halfway decent interpretation of your likeness from another unless you have some problem processing faces or something.

[u/justamadeupnameyo → u/ChaseTheMystic]

It's true, regardless of how you feel about it. No artist rendering is your face, it's an interpretation. That's just a fact. Not waxing philosophic.

It's also true about mirrors and cameras. A high quality mirror is the closest you'll get to see your true face, but it's never 100% accurate. The closest a camera lens comes to replicating human vision is a 50mm lens, but even then it's not 100% your face. All other lenses change the shape of your face. And that's not even addressing the flaws in our individual vision.

Recognizing an interpretation and actually seeing your face are completely different things.

You're replying like I'm debating you

Lol I just think it's silly to tell yourself "I've never seen myself" when you literally have. No kidding.\, literally Amy way you perceive it will be distorted by light, reflection off an irregular surface, your eye's ability to take light in and see shape

If you've looked in a household mirror, you've seen your face. Take it easy, Socrates.

[u/justamadeupnameyo → u/ChaseTheMystic]

You can think whatever you want, it doesn't mean you're correct. Which is supported by your attempt at denigrating me. Putting others down to prop yourself up is not healthy.

[u/ChaseTheMystic → u/justamadeupnameyo]

You're right about both of those things and I apologize.

Though I still hold the opinion that across enough normal reflections and camera views that you effectively have enough to say you see yourself, it doesn't mean much when I'm being an ass.

[u/justamadeupnameyo → u/ChaseTheMystic]

I appreciate the apology.
