I didn't want to write a review at first, but I didn't expect to write more short reviews. When I first saw the Swedish village, I thought of downsizing, which is also in Sweden. It seems that the Swedish socialism+nordic myth material is very attractive to American literary and art workers.
Depends on which angle you choose. When driving to the village, there is a flipped scene. It's a pity that I didn't realize the good intentions of warning extremes. The film is very concerned about the visual effects, and the bloody human bodies are also shown close-up - although you know it is fake, but you can't help but see the strange music scenes into the consciousness. It feels a little unreal after watching it.
Many people have written that Mark's attitude is the arrogant, selfish side of Americans. Although he hesitated when the girl called him away, he went anyway. I still wonder, what if I don't go? Of course, there are drugs too. Although the sins are ultimately placed in the sun, and there are grand-sounding explanations, the murders are still carried out in the dark.
It is interesting to choose black people to be the most stereotypical anthropologists, and to think about the racial issues in the United States. I saw half of it and thought it was a discussion of moral relativism - then it was too psychedelic. Borrowing drugs to enter the trance state is indeed common in many ceremonies, but no one kills at every turn. They are not savages, they know exactly what it will be like to let these people go and tell them not to take pictures with their phones. So - people who understand modern civilization but still choose an extreme moral system are more scary?
