It was not the first horror movie Ary Aster or Midsommar

warning: This article will discuss a movie about sexual assault and incest.

Director Aryster exploded in the world of cinema with the “Genetic” version in 2018. This film was organized about demonic worship and magic distributors who used to make ritual sacrifices, but Morriso was about the feeling of guilt between generations, hardly suppressed anger and unity of the family. Tony Colette offers the best professional performance as a woman who hated her mother, and she has no small amount of depression towards her family.

Aster followed this with the movie “Midsommar”, another film on worship sacrifices, this time she was completed by the killing of/suicide of the protagonist of the novel. Like “genetic”, “Midsommar” was very loved by a terror community, often kept as an example of the A24 home style. Florence Bug also performed an amazing performance as a sad young woman hated by her fantastic boyfriend. In 2023, ASETER DOR made, panic, and It is difficult to deliberate “beau fearful”, “ Freakout freeakout from the highest arrangement, either in the future of Dystopian, or within the mind of a man who suffers from panic attacks. It was one of the best year films. Next ASTER, “Eddington”, “ The theaters are scheduled for July 18, 2025.

While ASTER was still a student at the American Film Institute, he was already trying to be as provocative as possible. Aster was always interested in storing in the darkest corners of guilt and forbidden, and his thesis was not short, “the strange thing about Johnson” was no exception. He was shown at the Slamdance Film Festival in 2011, and no one knew what he was photographing to photograph home abuse and multiple scenes of the father and son incest.

The story of “strange thing about Johnson” intentionally is not suspended. Billy May plays the role of Sydney Johnson, the esteemed poet who was happy with his wife Joan (Angela Bullock). Early of the movie, Sydney walks on their son, Isaiah (Carlton Jeffrey Keffrey, Brandon Greenhaus as an adult) rushes himself. Sydney comes out with tact … Do not realize that Isaiah was looking at a picture of Master. This ultimately turns into an offensive relationship as Isaiah systematically begins to sexually assault his father.

Years later, when Isaiah is about to marry, Sydney writes in recognition of his son’s mistreatment. Ackimia is inspired by Isaiah to continue the sexual assault on his father. Joan deliberately prevents the screaming sounds you hear over the walls. Ultimately, Sydney will be killed and Joan Isaia will face about sexual assault. Their argument will lead to bloody violence.

Aster talked about his source of inspiration for his dark, twisted movie In an interview in 2011He said that his goal for “Johnsons” is to break the open taboos that have not been thought of before. In his words:

“We were talking about topics of taboo that could not be explored, so we got the taboo that was not until The taboo because it was very incomprehensible, and the most popular of the son was harassing his father. “This should not be converted into a movie!” Therefore, I started at this level, but from there it evolved into something completely different. “

In the same interview, he insisted that the film was not supposed to be a comment on the race, and that Johnson is black just because he wanted to throw his dear friend, the greenhouse, in the leadership role. (White Estroid.)

Aster said that he knows that his movie would invite the controversy, although he admitted that it took a long time to achieve it, he lost the horrific nature of the topic. He also aspired to make “Johnson” as a drama, not as an exploitation film, and tells a sincere story of pain and ill -treatment, but also presented as a fool, with a horrific, bloody end. Aster said that “Johnsons” was supposed to be seen as sending to the Melodrama family in the fifties like Douglas Sirk or Nicholas Ray, which he used to make.

Aster revealed, however, that although the film was making tours through many cinematic festivals, it was illegally leaked via the Internet. Critics were shocked online, and perhaps, on this topic, one can easily find the same short, and any number of video reviews, on YouTube. The leakage appears to have strengthened the film profile, even if ASTER has not received any money for bootlegs. Critics rushed to put all types of qualities on the film, describing them as anxious, disgusting, intense, etc.

In the end, the movie It was reviewed by Malcolm Harris for the Huffington PostAnd he found that online critics did not understand the purpose of the movie. Harris revealed that, too, he was one of the survivors of sexual assault in his American -African family, and he realized, in the “strange thing about Johnson”, the dark secrets kept in his community. He expected that all survivors of sexual assault will definitely see that their experience is reflected precisely in the movie ASTER, and that it is certainly not the exploitation movie that critics seemed to be thinking about. It is a horror movie, perhaps, but it is not here for fear or excitement. It is here for horror in the real world.
