    in the first episode, when Camille meets Amma and her friends for the first time, Amma says "this town is dead" while she looks at her friends and repeats "dead", and they all giggle.
    Amma and her friends hinted the murders so many times and we were so fooled by her!
    the show is brilliant!

    I was wholly into it as well :

    I was seriously disturbed that Camille might DIE to save Amma.
    I just loved the tooth floor, and of course Adora’s floor made out of Elephant’s teeth! ( Tusks/Ivory)

    I actually dont think Camille was faking at first just to fall in line with the munchausen. I feel like the milk was poisoned that she drank at the dinner table. (Afterall the episode is called Milk)
    What an intense show !!!
    Did Adora have ANY clue what was going on with Amma ? What about Gayla the maid, surely she knew something (I think that was her name)

      karen mccabe The maid is portrayed much differently in the book. She wouldn’t have been smart enough to pick up on anything. Adora had no clue about Amma. She was too sick with attention seeking that killing her kids was an obsession for her. Reading the book answers all the questions you are left with after that incomplete ending.

      I watch that episode three times
      and finally caught a glimpse of
      those "after credit" scenes.
      Which, by the way, is a cheap,
      juvenile Hollywood gimmick
      that says either one of two
      things;
      1) We don't trust our audience
      so we better resort to
      prestidigitation.
      or...
      2) The typical audience is so
      intellectually limited that we
      can pull anything we want
      over them.

    Its layed out so well, amma becomes possessive over camille and her new friend admires her, threatened by that. She kills her. Just like the girls her mother was teaching. Jealousy and possession. Two killers. The girl who acted as amma did a amazing job. Still stunned by this show.

    I just feel like no one has brought up the point that the sheriff had said to Adora "one of your daughter's dangerous, and the other is in danger" at the time I thought that Amma was the one in danger and Camile the dangerous one, but looking back is seems these roles were reversed.

    It looks like Amma’s friends helped her kill the two girls wearing white jumpsuits, maybe from the pig place? Also, I think Amma says she is sorry when she visits Adora in prison. The blood under the bed is because that is where they killed John’s sister.

  • @ToRontoRon1918
    @ToRontoRon1918 5 років тому +3

    Don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but a slight detail I picked up on is that the blanket for the doll house bed looks as though it was made by Mae. She shows it to Camille, who looks happy with the addition to the home, which of course would infuriate Amma. It changed her perfect doll house, and Camille seemed proud of Mae for her creation, making Amma extremely jealous. That's why Amma would have thrown it in the garbage later on, and who knows, maybe that was the final straw that got her to kill Mae, just as Ann and Natalie were killed because they had taken too much of Adora's attention.

    First off I would like to say James I've subscribed to your videos and I really love how you get into detail about things in the way you talk about the shows outstanding job!!
    The show is incredible I love the actors but I from the jump knew something was up with the mother Adora and Amma!
    I realized Adora was doing something shady and covering up things and just so grimey and beneath the surface I can't stand her and the way she treats Camille. But Amma I never trusted can't stand her always thought she was killing and doing something or help the killer but I knew she had something to do with those murders and she always had a f*****-up comment to say about whoever.
    What really made everything that I thought be true was when Camille was talking with the guy that everybody was accusing of being the murderer when his sister died and they were accusing him of killing his sister and whoever else I knew that Amma had something to do with it.. because he said that she would get in the middle of the girls arguing and she was always a part of their BS and throughout all those episodes nobody never said anything Emma never said anything about knowing those girls or hanging out with them or getting in arguments so for Camille to have John tell her that that set off so many questions and fireworks and everything.
    From the jump I was only looking at Emma and Adora as killers there was no one else that gave me the sense or the feeling that they would be.
    Everything everything that she said all those stupid smart ass rude snarky weird comments that Emma would always have four things let me know that she was definitely the Killer also the end credits when she was killing the black girl Mae and the mom was looking for her..
    there were just way too many red flags and things that did not sit well with me with Emma

    Yes enjoy your review after seeing a few that asked questions I thought were obvious and not ask ones that I’m still asking. In the flashbacks it looks like Camille is dying and her sister is in better shape. But she ends up getting away. Do we ever know how and why ... we know she mutilates her own body to punish herself for surviving but what got her up and out and is that why her sister dies ..because Adora moves into her in full force having lost Camille ? I guess that’s possibly obvious too. What I loved about this series was its authenticity that made dialogues unexpected because they didn’t revert back to Hollywood junk. They stayed subtle too. The look Camille gives Amma when she says ‘I could eat you up’. To me that’s brilliant acting. It was precisely the speed and tone that a comment seemingly affectionate could feel just wrong and perfectly reflected on Camille’s face. Whoa. That’s when I knew sister is as evil as she is a opportunistic phony. The fluctuation between the little tart on roller blades and the soft voice playing with her dollhouse but sadistic ! Remember she’s the one who stole Camille’s clothes in the bathroom forcing the revelation of her self destructive cutting .... that character was evil incarnate

    Thankyou James for your amazing reactions & comments on TV and Movies ! Question for anybody.... How would you have made this final episode
    better ? If you were the writers and producers, what would have “ punched up “ the script? My changes would have been as follows:
    When Camille is getting “dosed” in tub, I would have added a few more lines with Adora denying the accusations of killing Marian. The part with the blue lights of the police cars reflecting on the ceiling,....
    Alan has music blasting in the background, we hear a painful “needle scraping” across the album ... then music stopped! Cut to the cops cuffing Adora and Alan with him squirming away from cops and his cute “sweater cape” falls to the ground. Lastly, we were slighted by not getting a powerful dialogue between Amma & Adora in jail . The video shown was cool , but why not have written 2 more minutes of that powerful moment? Fell short with that moment in my opinion!
    Anyone have some other ideas ?

      something i wanted to happen when Camille decided to let Adora "take care" of her, is that they show Camille doing it to save Amma, but also to feel loved by her mother for the first time, even though she knew Adora was poisoning her, she would willingly let her do it just to feel loved and cared by her.
      i really wanted to see that happen, it would have been so emotional, seeing Camille let her mother posion her just to feel loved (in a twisted way) by her for the first time

      Amma's new friend Mae made the dollhouse bedsheet in the likeness of Amma's bedsheet in her new room at Camille's place (you can see it in that very scene where Mae was showing it to Camille). And you are right, the teeth Amma pulled from her victims could be interpreted as a trophy.

    It's rare for me to actually get spooked from scary movies. Torture, blood & gore movies don't scare me, but the ending of the episode spooked the hell out of me. It was so intense! Yet all she said was "Don't tell mama." I can't believe Amma was using the collection for her Dollhouse! That's so sick and dark. No wonder Amma was obsessed with that dollhouse..

    I like you dude. I love your enthusiasm for this show and I can imagine you shadow boxing in your home watching SO. 😂 This show was superb especially as you mentioned the camera work and directing. The acting was good but I’m not a huge fan of Amy Adams, I’ve always found her a bit overrated but she was good here. The stand outs for me were the girl who played Amma, Patrica Clarkson and especially Elizabeth Perkins who was phenomenal and stole the show acting wise. I just wish that they stretched it out to a few more episodes, maybe explaining why she did what she did and seeing the consequences. Also there are a few things you mentioned that I didn’t notice like the writing on the black girls hand. Also did you notice how the black girl had the same color nail polish (painted on I’m assuming by Amma) as Natalie did when they found her body. Also did you notice that the opening of each show had a different song up until the ending where they played the same song as the first episode? Like coming full circle ⭕️!

      I loved Big Little Lies. That director is the same one for Sharp Objects. Both finales had great endings but Sharp Objects was rushed. You also must see the closing credits to actually see the final ending. Read vanityfair.com online article for closure and to tie up loose ends in a clear, precise way!

    • @lucylamazares4687
      @lucylamazares4687 5 років тому +1

      You've both just made me realise that the way the director edited the two shows at the end of both finales was so similar!!! Both times he made the big reveal through flashbacks without any further explanation right at the end of the show. Although, the editing and flashbacks in Big Little Lies was done better and revealed so much more. Everyone was very satisfied; whereas most fans were left confused/disappointed by the way the big reveal was done in Sharp Objects.

    • @skswtlnd

    @buffytargaryan7171 5 років тому +16

    I completely agree with you! This was probably the best show on TV this year, better than Westworld (this year anyway) and since no Game of Thrones, not much to compete with there. That being said Big Little Lies was great too, I think we will see another season of this soon. While I really thought the mom was the killer of all the girls, it totally makes sense that Amma killed the girls. She is exactly like her mother in a more complex way. If anyone takes attention away from herself, she views them as a threat and kills them. She does this so she is always the most important to whatever 'mother' figure she latches on to. Camille will be surrounded by death if she doesn't turn Amma in.

      I think there is quite a bit of competition. The Americans was very strong in its final season. There is also Handmaid’s Tale and a few strong limited series. Killing Eve was also fantastic. That doesn’t take into account comedies. GoT hasn’t been the best show on tv for a while now for me. In my opinion that last season in particular was atrocious.
      Nonetheless, Sharp Objects may def end up getting my vote for best of the year in the end. I need to think on it for a bit. I’ve been catching up on shows I didn’t get a chance to watch when on Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, so I’m not clear in my head what is from last year and what was released in 2018.

    • @buffytargaryan7171

      @seasidescott 5 років тому +1

      ny_kia31 - Asking "why" isn't going to get you anywhere except into the sickness of Amma. "What's going on here" is an old story of a small local culture gone dark. Everyone is complicit, not through any single act (except Amma & "momma" - just noticed they rhyme) but through small contributions, even just turning a blind eye, that add up to a large evil.

      She was obsessed with control and attention, especially when it comes to her mom. The girls were close to her mom and Amma saw them as a threat . She's also beautiful and tends to make people do what she wants...which is why the girls helped her, they didn't want to be next . Did anyone see Ashley(johns gf) in the ending credits? I was sure she had a part in it. I still can't figure out how the blood got under the bed but maybe I missed something .

Curry and Eileen take care of Camille after she tries to hurt herself again. Adora is sentenced for killing Marion. The book ends with the sentences that Curry read aloud from her article, about leaning toward kindness.

      it was explained bit better in the book but basically the kid was a biter ( don't remember was it ann or natalie) most of the people that were around her had bite marks (including adora and amma ) and one night when Ashley was over she woke up to the kid just biting her earlobe off. I think that was the extent of the explanation but it was to make a point to why the teeth were pulled off, to make sure they couldn't disrespect the killer like that anymore

    I personally enjoy that the ending didn’t end up resolved. I liked that I am left wondering if Camille would turn her sister in or would she remain silent. How safe would Camille feel with Amma living under the same roof as her, how much did Adora and Alan know about Amma and her friends. I’ve heard about the book ending where things are resolved ( kinda) and I think that’s anticlimactic. The good guys don’t always win, every crime isn’t solved, etc. I wish the series hadn’t spent as much time with Camille’s drinking, flashbacks and inability to assert herself ( I mean, she was allowing her mom to poison her to death!) but I guess she’s an imperfect hero? The acting was superb from everyone.

    #2
    Another attractive girl - not Mae - with a rope around her neck, 2 or 3 people in white suits helping to restrain.
    (throwback ten minutes to joking around with Mae - her new friend - about strangling someone with a rope)
    #3
    More restraining white-sleeved hands, in a forest setting, with a grabbing hand on the elbow of the girl being killed, who could be someone who was in the hospital with Amma.
    #4
    Same; but seeing rage on Amma’s face, and distress on a fellow assailant in a lab coat.
    #5
    Shadowy shot of struggle
    #6
    Another shot of the struggle in the forest, at least 3 girls
    #7
    A shot which appears to portray a struggling (previously murdered) Natalie Keene
    #8
    Indistinct shadowy shot
    #9
    We see a struggling soon to be dead girl who appears to be surrounded by more white lab coats.
    #10
    New dead girl, this time in a shot originating from under a bed
    #11
    Rage on the face of Amma, evidently getting what she came for; girl in white lab coat adjacent
    #12
    Collapsing shot of newly-murdered girl, evidently in her bedroom, perhaps where she will be found (although there would be a heap of forensic evidence to account for, presuming we just saw she was done in in a forest setting; Marti Noxon, we are watching)
    #13
    NOW we see a shot of Mae, at it looks like she is reacting to the murder, with an onlooker, perhaps Amma
    #14
    We see a the same hand as in the first shot of the sequence, at last letting go of the chain link fence
    Jed Gould
    #15
    Amma, through a different metal fence, joyous rage on her face
