The only thing he did wrong was bogard black dudes thesis topic
I meant how was he a dikk to Dani? Obv fukking over Chidi and fukking that underage chick were no-no's
Smashing the chick was some ritual ish and Dani herself was already knee deep in their rituals so i dont count that against em. At the end of the day he wasnt married to Dani so he could have bounced instead of showing fake support to her issues.
The character of Christain is an archetype of every "bad movie boyfriend", esp. in horror movies, whether that was intentional or not, I can't say, but that was my read.
In the beginning, he represents the typical marginally attached and halfway present boyfriend, who is mostly selfish and self centered, but retains the facade of a "nice guy" and "good guy", even his friends characterize his behavior as absurd, only they have the opinion he cares too much for Dani, while the audience sees no evidence of this at all. Those segments play on modern relationships mores and tropes, pretty effectively.
His lines, intentional or not, often characterize him as the typical American opportunist and self centered individual, who lazily steals his friends idea, and later entirely abandons him to further his ambitions, (that the friend is black is never referenced, making it ambiguous whether that was the directors intent) I laughed out loud at a few of those lines, I thought the satire was clear.
His attempts to comfort Dani, is shallow and laughable, after witnessing a man being split apart with a massive hammer in a gruesome ritual, he says, with all the gravitas he can muster: "Are you uhhh okay"? "Take some time for yourself", his attempts were some of the movies funniest lines. When things get a little hectic, he is the character saying "Lets split up", he's the dummy, the pawn, the man used for his bland good looks and semen, and disposed of, for the intellectually and character lacking person he has shown himself to be.

I was cracking up during the beginning parts of the film cause I have definitely acted like Christian in the past.
Christian was terrible because he lacked empathy. He was really only there for Dani because he felt that it was an obligation, and not because he actually feels like he wants to comfort her and be with her during that hard period in her life.
Dani is not wrong for looking for support from her boyfriend during that time. It was Christian who was often cold towards Dani, and in many instances tried to make her feel bad for basically asking for help with coping.
Look, I'm not happy about it, but people like me and Christian probably deserve that.

It's no coincidence that Christian was paralyzed and unable to feel anything.. he was damn near emotionless towards Dani the whole flick.

I'm literally in the movie theater and just HAD to log in to complain about how annoying the main character is. Like, no bullshyt, I've hoped she'd die since they got to Sweden. Unfortunately because she's the main character i know she's going to at least last until the final act.
They didn't have to write her to be this annoying.

This shyt was awful...although the cinematography is probably the best i have ever seen for a movie like this...my interest was only kept because each scene was filmed so beautifully...
I know every character was supposed to be a stereotype and even then they came off as to stereotyped...
I and a few other people laughed at simons "scene" at the end cause it looked so fake
Ari is maybe the worst director I have ever seen outside of Uwe Boll
A shame cause this is actually an interesting story but Ari is just so fukking bad at telling stories...
Buddy pee'd on that tree and somebody yelling in the front yelled "you know you fukked up right"
I would have loved to see Trey Edward Shults direct something like this...

Question to those who have seen it:
What actually happened to Josh (the dude that pissed on the ancestral tree)? I know we saw him again when Chidi gets killed and he looks fukked up, but what happened there? It almost looks like it was someone dressed in his SKIN, not him. And then when they burn him, his body looks so emaciated and floppy, like a puppet. Did they literally gut that dude?
I was under the impression it was someone who skinned him and was wearing his face/skin as a mask..and it did look like he was gutted like the bear.
since i have no interest in watching this..i read the plot on wikipedia
