Midsommar question

I never heard of midsommar until the film, so I thought this would be a nice place to ask what actual people who celebrate midsommar think of the movie?
Does it accurately represent the tradition? Do you find it is bad taste?
And tell me your favourite part about midsommar! I'd love to learn more!

"Midsummer" in Norway is more a celebration of St. Hans. We light "Saint Hans bål (fires)." (may have come slightly more prohibited over the years). I personally love St. Hans celebration because my local community always had a gathering around it when I was younger and it was so much fun. I still miss it. It's barely celebrated anymore since those of us who used to be kids are grown up now and those with kids now don't care to take the responsibility to make it happen. 

Can't say anything about the movie b\c I haven't seen it.

Closely. The summer solstice is an astronomical happening. Midsummer is the fest accompanying the happening by celebrating mid-summer around the time of the summer solstice that marks the first day of summer or\and midsummer. Midsummer fest is more linked to heathen religion and belief (at least in Scandinavia.) It varies between countries and history.

I hope this made sense.

I don't think so
people here don't seem to do anything at all, it's really boring 

or maybe they just do it in private with their buddies, but there's certainly no community events )-:
