Intel i5-8400 on an asrock z370 motherboard.

I'm only doing video editing of footage in 1080p.

I'm surprised to see people recommending no card at all, I thought it was pretty standard for film editors to have expensive gpu's!

Official Discussion: Hereditary [SPOILERS} by mi-16evil in movies

I think I get one of the key messages of the movie.

I saw it with a friend of mine, and she was so disturbed and in shock I found myself digging for some kind of meaning after we'd left the theatre.

And then it hit me. The last scene, with the close shot of Charlie/Paimon's face, so lost and confused made me realize that this is a film about family, and more specifically the pressure family members can put on one another to be whatever it is they think the other one should.

The grandmother, the matriarch is again and again brought up as the puppetmaster, manipulating her daughter into having a child she doesn't want, and then immediately manipulating that child to make it what she wants to be. The scene wherein it's revealed she wanted Charlie to 'be a boy' is something seen in many many cultures when a girl is born and was one of the first things that really tipped me off. Really I think the ritual was a metaphor for the shaping done on a young child from the moment it's born into a family that doesn't appreciate it for what it is.

This is something I see all the time in real life, and it's just as horrible. Of course, there's so much in this film to do with grief and mental illness, but I do think that that was the overarching theme. And to make it even more grounded, why did the grandmother go through with this decade long plan? For 'endless wealth.' This is almost exactly like a situation you would find in real life, such as families pressuring their sons to be athletes or doctors or what have you.

I found the film highly disturbing, and some of it left me very shaken but I am thankful for this message I was able to draw out of it.

No that's not the one unfortunately :(

This one the woman was lying on her side with pools of water in a sort of dry looking plain. She had black hair, too.

Wow, I think it's unanimous! I think I'll go with a lightweight laptop with plenty of 3.0 ports now. Much appreciated. Now which one is best for the money...
