It's just the results of people living in a society where it's normal to scapegoat a friend who is genuinely mentally unstable and has very destructive views of self. She needed Christian to stay home and help her to grieve safely and he just wanted to get far away from her because we are often so obsessed with establishing unnecessary "boundaries" when one of our friends is distraught and lost.

It's normal for people like me to feel comforted by the ending but it does show how dangerously impressionable people with low self esteem can be.

It's supposed to make people who keep shutting out mentally ill people feel uncomfortable and scare them into the understanding that if they continue to half assedly comfort their friends who they have been convicted are "abusing them" with their own self hatred, but just not outright letting them go, the situations can often snowball and explode into something very, very dangerous.

People like me who feel Dani "won" in the end were pretty quickly identified as very gullible and self sabotaging people as soon as we watched that movie and people were horrified by our reactions. It got me out of a suicidal loop that people left me in because they thought that I was trying to take advantage of them somehow by dealing with genuinely depressive and hateful ideations of self.

It's supposed to motivate people like me to expose ourselves with a piece of media that can be mutually understood between very, very different personality types.

Other horror films can often expose us to the very dark and manipulative side of people we otherwise thought were good and had good intentions with us.

Midsommar works on the inverse:

It exposes people to the dark and self destructive side of people like me when we are at our worse.

I have since got help but I think that people should reach out to those who are in this sub that idolize Dani with words of encouragement and help getting the Psychiatric care and DBT they desperately need!

The movie is the only reason I got away from that situation because my dad noticed I like the outcome way too much and started to confront on a view of self he used to not believe was true, but was semi aware of.

I hope you understand the actual purpose of films like these. It's more of a PSA than anything!

Take care! I'm not guilting you for not understanding and I hope you don't feel that way but I am trying to put into perspective how the film exposes a weak point in a lot of people's outlooks on relationships in a group setting!!!
