And I still hold back on following people who do this
"cool art

rt - cool art
I'm horrified
rt- i'm also horrified
rt - cool sad art

rt - stay ANGRY
i'm so sad"
I respect your space, so I'm sorry I don't follow you.
We need goofy shit to keep us going.

And these are all still great films, obviously, but I think my frustration was from people who take the worst moral from the film and run with it.
Midsommar / Nosferatu / The Substance = She's a victim of society and she gets empowered in the end.
There's more to it than that, sister.

There are no faults being projected onto the women in those two films, but all the blame is on the men.
Compare to The Substance where the men are not innocent, they're more like obstacles, and Elizabeth HAS her own depth of flaws to react to them. She HAS a chance to get out, but still stays in.

If anything can connect the two of them together, it's the way the director's see the folly of MEN being men, and a man's failure to protect the women in their lives.
All of the men in Midsommar are self centered. The men in Nosferatu fail to take things seriously until it's too late.

Yeah, the point of a good film IS the tragedy of it all, and I can accept an unhappy ending, and even the point of these sacrifices we make as women ARE apart of a bigger series of events.
But both Nosferatu and Midsommar are written by men and are not really writing the films as feminist films.

Both stories involve a rich old man, using his power to buy any women he can, but did she NEED to die in order to be his undoing? I don't think so because that means the men in her life didn't step up.
Dracula is a "fight the dragon" story, and when the men are like 'idk what to do', it's annoying.

And learning about how Nosferatu is a 'copy' of Dracula would explain why someone with more western sensibilities would enjoy the Dracula story OVER Nosferatu. We know Dracula as a rich man who steals women's souls. Nosferatu is about beauty taming the beast. It's feminist by default.

Feminism in Nosferatu: she lives by staunch society and she is allowing her sexuality to take hold of her. She is choosing her partner.
What I see: She was groomed by an old man as a child, she has a history of sexual abuse and she wanted to not feel guilt for being groomed. She didn't need to die.

And I've gone on about Nosferatu, I wasn't super into it, but heard a few people call it a feminist film, and it makes me loose faith. I mean, yes if you squint there's feminism in everything, but otherwise no.
"The Substance is about what ALL WOMEN GO THROUGH!" Then stop taking so much DRUGS!?

No film has to spell out EVERYTHING it's trying to say, I prefer it to be left up to interpretation, that's why it's art, but when a large group of people insist that it's a feminist film, it'll immediately turn me off.
The surface level takes of The Substance and Nosferatu go there too.

The video goes into how much Nazi propaganda and mythos is connected to the cult in the film, so if anything it makes me appreciate the film better because if there's still anyone who has the take of "yeah she's a better woman now", most likely has been indoctrinated at some point already.

It bothered me that a good selection of people, and media press reviews, would watch the film and not immediately go "oh no this is a cult and is HORRIBLE" and, inadvertently, it makes the film look weaker because it didn't spell it out for the ones who would sign up to the cult ASAP.
