with millie shapiro making this video about her experience playing charlie graham in hereditary, i think now is the perfect time to ask what the fuck ari aster was thinking by using people with facial deformities for shock value in both of his films

i have yet to see anyone else openly criticize aster's decision in hereditary/midsommar to use facial disfigurement in a macabre way. and the fact that it happened not once, but twice is deeply disturbing and sets the horror genre back a million years

ive been trying to put this in the right words for a few months now, and was hoping someone else would be able to say it more eloquently than me, but after shapiro made that tiktok i couldn't stay quiet

if you are going to reblog this, choose your words wisely and try and think, what really made these movies scary to you? and if your answer is anything along the lines of millie shapiro's appearance, i suggest you keep your mouth shut

MAN 1 (in a high pitched, whiny voice) Look what you’ve done to my peonies!

WOMAN (angrily) They’re marigolds!

MAN 2 God! I think she’s right! They are marigolds!

MAN 1 I may not know my flowers, but I know a (yells in her direction) bitch when I see one!

I looked this up because I had to know what it’s from. It’s a film called The Gay Deceivers (1969), and it’s about two straight men who, seeking to avoid the draft, claim to be gay, but then have to keep up the pretense when the army places them under surveillance.

The man in the red cardigan in the clip was played by Michael Greer, who was openly gay himself - unusual for the time. He actually worked closely with the director and rewrote much of the film’s dialogue to reduce the homophobia and make it more realistic. As a result it’s quite progressive for its time, having a gay character, played by a gay man, living in a happy same-sex relationship, which is more than a lot of media offers us today.

Plus the clip is delightful.

I just looked it up on wikipedia and fucking

The twist is that even after the pair is caught, they are not inducted into the military. The Army investigators assigned to watch them are themselves gay and are trying to keep straight people out of the Army.

This is funny, but I can tell you why right now without a study

Glasses give you an immediate and blinding indication if your mask is not worn properly. If you wear glasses you are more likely to secure the mask tightly to ensure you dont fog up your glasses.

And 2, no one can sneeze or cough on ur eyeballs

I know the study hypothesized that it’s because glasses wearers don’t touch their face as much. But as a glasses wearer, I think Fatsexybitch is onto something with #1.
