was most excited for you to come what is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here so I finally am doing a review for Ari Aster sophomore feature mid-summer Ari Aster if you're familiar with that name you know he did last year's widely successful core film hereditary which starred Tony Colette and she surprisingly didn't get nominated or anything for that performance but anyway getting on to mid-summer I just saw the director's cut mid-summer is honestly one of the most one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen and I mean that wholeheartedly the movie is definitely not bad that's not what I mean the movie is just flat out weird and I've seen the movie two times now because the first time I saw was when the theatrical cut initially released this was the director's cut that came out this weekend both times I have felt uncomfortable I felt like I probably shouldn't be looking at this should I even be certain elements of the movie maybe question whether I should be watching this with other people mid summer feels like the type of movie that everyone should just have their own room to sit down in and watch it alone it's that type of movie it's very uncomfortable it's unnerving the story that unfolds in front of you it's just they what I will say is so amazing about mid-summer to me is how this director's cut was supposedly 30 extra minutes and I kind of think it was it was my film started at 115 it did not end until right around I think four o'clock or four or five p.m. now that's almost three hours however nowhere in the film the movie is so like it engages you right off this right from the start there's never a moment where you want to or there never should be a moment where you want to see what time it is or where you lose interest it's just so weird the movie it captures the audience's attention very well and I think that's one of the strongest elements about mid-summer the film stars Florence Pugh Jack Rainer will putler William Jackson in a few other individuals but basically it follows Danny Christian American couple this they're involved in a relationship that's basically imploding as we know it they're both in denial about it Danny's very clingy Christian is a douchey boyfriend and his friends aren't a big fan of Danny they've taken know the fact that he isn't happy in the relationship and he's wanted out of it for quite some time they Christians friends as well as Christian were invited to travel to Sweden to participate in one of the group members there one of the group members invited all of his other friends including Christian to go to Sweden his hometown so they can participate in the mid-summer festivities Christian is going so he can break away from Danny and potentially find a new fling or something but in the film he ends up having to minor spoilers minor spoilers in the film he ultimately ends up bringing Danny and they go and they go on this like they come to find it though people that are in this village or this secluded area they are performing these pagan rituals and they're doing all this type of stuff that is just very uncomfortable to witness in a room full of people that I think that's what is most effective about mid-summer it is very uncomfortable from start to finish and to be watching this with a group of people it kind of makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong all the actors in a very they do an amazing job Florence Pugh she was she started page and pages film any WWE fans out there she started that page movie but Florence Pugh I think she is going to be a very talented star in the near future she is talented I think she's going to be in a lot of major roles in the near future I hope she is at least because the way she portrays mental illness and mental instability and on the verge of becoming a complete emotional wreck is absolutely amazing in this film you kind of feel the character of Danny is going through a lot of stuff she there's a tragedy that happens at the beginning of the movie she has a horrible boyfriend who isn't really there for her her his friends don't appreciate her everyone involved they just give an amazing performance and the one thing I have to respect about Ari Astor is the way he crafts his movies not only with his writing but the way he directs and shoots these things he mid-summer literally has stuff in it that tells you what is going to happen but then when it all unfolds it's still kind of like what the heck what is this what is that but they told you what was going to happen and they're constantly foreshadowing it throughout the entire film even despite the foreshadowing these moments are still so uncomfortable and you're still taken back by this still still somewhat surprising that you're actually seeing this stuff because like what the heck is going on not to get into any spoilers because I don't want to spoil the movie for anyone who hasn't seen it but the cinematography in this is some of the best cinematography I've seen all year just in a beautifully shot film everything from the from the way they capture the sunlight in the area of the Swedish town to the way they just every for a movie that's very horrific in its nature they do a great job of creating a facade for even the viewer because everything looks like it's all fine and dandy based on the way everything is set up the way the film is shot but then of course things start going on you find out this seemingly good looking area is actually probably the last place you want to be already asked his direction the score is amazing the music that accompanies some of these scenes it's just phenomenal it brings it brings you more into what's going on it it makes you the whole idea behind Mids Armors is some sort of horrific breakup experience this is essentially a breakup movie for the horror genre this movie is probably gonna be this is this is probably the biggest WTF of the year this movie it honestly is just that freaking weird it's it's one of the better crafted films from a technical standpoint but it's just so weird it's gonna make a lot of people uncomfortable and it's not spoon feeding you the information it's one of those movies it's it's an 824 film it's a film that requires you to be an attentive audience member you have to be paying attention because they're telling you and they're illustrating everything that's going on they're not they're not saying it word for word they're giving you the audience everything you need to know and you need to put it together now what I will say about the director's cut for those who have seen the theatrical cut there's a lot more stuff in here that brings everything in a more context it might make it clarifies a lot of other things there's a few additional scenes between Christian and Danny that portray Christian as the douchey boyfriend that he actually is more so than the theatrical cut did a lot of other foreshadowing and things and symbolism that you may not have noticed from the first time viewing it in the theater midsummer is just it's I don't have any other words to describe it other than it's weird but it's quite frankly one of the best things I've ever seen it's a well-made film the director's cut I want to say is better than the theatrical cut on a scale of 1 to 10 I'm going to give this a 7.5 out of 10 in the description I'll have a link to my written review on the theatrical cut but those are my thoughts on midsummer let me know what you guys think about it down in the comments section below if you

Teenagehood is a perfect time to get ahead of your game. I mean, you can start earning cash to satisfy your wants or to save up for college. Or better yet, you could get the experience needed to be an exceptional staff and adult later on in life. It is also out of place if you start your business with a couple of friends in your teenage years. So, stop thinking you're too young and start thinking of ways to solve a problem and earn legit cash for yourself. And yes, there are lots of opportunities available for you as a teenager. In this video, I will be sharing 13 fresh ways for you to start making money as a teenager. 1. Sell stuff at school It's the simple act of either selling off your old stuff like toys, shoes, clothes, etc. Or buying something for a specific price and selling it for more. As a high school teenager, you could buy and sell items like energy drinks, gum, school supplies like notes, pencils and pens, and even sports clothing. A better way to start is to try everything then afterwards re-invest on the product that sells more or just surveying to find out items that people would love to buy. 2. Take surveys Although several so-called survey sites have painted a bad image about survey taken, there are still legit sites where you can take surveys and get paid. Survey taken will not give you huge money. In fact, most sites will only provide you with gift card rewards. But it's an easy way for you to make out something as you fill out the survey while watching a movie, lying in bed or even chatting with friends. Some trusted survey taken sites include swag box, treasure trooper, etc. 3. Video editing If you know how to create videos, you probably could know how to edit them as well. Editing videos has been made easy by various software which is available on even smartphones. This is an excellent job with a lot of potentials and in high demand. To get started, you should build a portfolio. This you can do by editing a few videos for free or for a low price. You can then offer your service as a freelance video editor on Craiglist and other sites. You can work only when you want and your fee can either be hourly or a flat rate depending on you. 4. Cleaning basements and garages Many people hate this job because these are not places that are cleaned regularly. So cleaning them can be quite tedious. Someone around you will gladly accept your assistance and pay you generously for it. You can start by cleaning up your own first and then ask your parents to recommend you. Or you can go directly to the house of your neighbors and request. Or you can even print a flyer. 5. Tutoring If you are good at specific skills and subjects, you can teach others who are not good with them for a fee. That way, you will not only make cool cash, you will also hone your skills in the process. You may decide to teach classmates or schoolmates or you may teach kids in your neighborhood. Or you can move to the digital world and tutor other kids online. Good news is that you don't need a fancy certificate to start and you do not necessarily need to teach normal school subjects. You can sign up on a platform like Take Lessons to start. Mathematics, English, drawing, playing instruments, music and sports are some popular classes that people seek to learn. 6. Learn and Earn from a Skill The earlier you start learning a skill, the better for you. Once you are pretty good at the craft you are choosing, you can start making money from it. If it is a highly demanded skill, you can make a lot of money. With a profession such as writing, you will be able to earn as a freelance writer or an essayist. With coding, you can create games, build websites and digital marketing and this will enable you to handle the accounts of small organizations and get paid. Other skills to learn include graphics design, photography, bookkeeping, etc. 7. Pet Sits It's not just enough to own and care for your own pet. You can also channel that experience of yours into caring for other people's pet. People routinely pay adults to do this job for them but you can be able to start up with this by charging a little amount. As a pet sitter, you will go to people's houses and take care of their pets while they are away, either on weekends or vacations. You can start by advertising with word of mouth around your neighborhood and other surrounding neighborhoods. 8. Baby Sit Baby sitting is one of the most popular ways for teens to make money because it pays well and it's a pretty easy job, especially if you're an older kid. You can earn up to 10 or even $15 per hour via baby sitting. The best way to start baby sitting is to babysit for close friends and families and have them recommend you to other families. After recommendations, you can print posters or sign up on baby sitting websites like care.com. You can get connected with people in search of babysitters. 9. A part-time job in a restaurant Working as a boss boy or a dishwasher or a cashier in a restaurant is another excellent way to make cash as a teenager. Although being a worker in a restaurant is not very pleasant and fun, you are sure to get paid. Also, working under someone will teach you a lot and create an opportunity to meet new people and develop vital skills. 10. Snap and Sell Photos Online Do you have a flair for photography? Do you like to have beautiful collections of nature or sunrise photos on your phone? Then you could consider this option. You could pick any niche you fancy, relationship, family, etc. and continuously capture moments of them. Afterwards, head on to Shutterstock and other platforms and sell. 11. Car Wash Very few people enjoy washing their cars. Some others barely have time to do the washing, so they will gladly pay someone else to do it for them. They will find it even more interesting if as a teenager you can do great interior and exterior cleaning. You could start by washing the cars of your parents and family friends. Once you feel confident enough, start knocking on your neighbors doors to offer them your services. 12. Rent Out Books Those old books that are piled up somewhere in the basement can be used to make good money. Instead of throwing them in the trash, you could get them together on a table in the garage and rent them out for a fee or for a specific amount or even sell them to people. Well, a few chairs in the garage to allow people to read for a charge wouldn't be a bad idea as well. 13. Yard Maintenance This can be anything from shoveling snow, cotton lawns, to raking and trimming hedges. Many people in your neighborhood could use some help in cleaning their yard. You can render this service for amounts lower than that of a professional landscaper. Ask your parents if you can use the lawn mower and cleaning tools. Or you can even use the equipment of your client if they let you. The chances are high that they will. For you to earn more, you must carry out your task efficiently so that you can get recommended to work for others. Your teenage story does not need to end in games and fun with friends. Talking about the cash you made as a teenager is also impressive. The point is, it's never too early to start your journey towards financial independence.
