Pearl makes X like 100 times better. When I watched X I didn't think much of it, but after seeing Pearl I watched X again and it was a lot better. Noticing things that I wasn't even thinking about like the property Pearl lives at, and how she never leaves there like she wanted to. That crocodile eating Pearls victims, made so much more sense to me why Pearl was watching the crocodile eat that blonde in X, and the way she said she never liked blondes.
Oh wow I barely saw X and YT suggests this one. Imagine that young Pearl is old Pearl and Mia Goth is a stellar actress wow. Did you know X was based on a true story? Ray and Faye Copeland, however X ending is different as Ray and Faye got 5 life sentences and Ray died in prison and Faye suffered a stroke became disabled and was paroled out to an old home. SMH. God bless all. Sending blessings from Houston Texas home of the lethal injection Capital Punishment state smh.
I think a really important aspect to the audition was that her dancing wasn’t the problem! they said she did well and that they have dancers at the level she is in the troop already. It was her appearance that made them move on, something she has absolutely no control over.
@@rebbiedavis12 around those times and even in shows like American idol, x-factor etc they pride themselves on the misery of rejecting others. It’s business as usual.
What the scarecrow scene said to me personally wasn’t so much “she’s sexually into this inanimate object bc crazy person reasons” but more sort of highlighting her desperate need to be living in a fantasy at all times, her extreme discomfort with being present in the real world, and also maybe showing that it’s escalating, that she’s retreating so far into her fantasy life she’s losing her grip on when what she’s actually doing is… uh…. let’s say “out there” lol
I just got to the end where you said “There was explanation behind her actions, there was storytelling, and an emotional connection” and yes! You already know!
Want to mention the water pearl threw on her mother to stop the fire was BOILING water so it definitely left the mother even more burned as a result… such a scary scene
I believed the older couple could kill the younger group because they had the element of surprise. If you think about it basically every kill is out of nowhere.. the pitchfork by Pearl, the shotgun by Howard.. etc. They’re old and the young people don’t suspect them to be killers until the very end. I thought X was an amazing film and Pearl just kept that momentum going.
That’s my exact thought when people say they don’t believe or can’t extend their beliefs of the old couple killing the young people they kind of prove the whole point of the movie
It's not like she didn't break a hip shooting that shot gun...lol Yah I was kind of cracking up cause that would be my luck if I was in that movie. Not breaking my hip, but being killed off by a bunch of old crazy folks and not having a clue about it until it's my turn to bite the big one.
The situation he was in was so horrifying. He clearly knew everything that was going on. Seeing his daughter about to feed him to a crocodile, seeing his wife set on fire then her daughter pouring boiling water on her. All whilst he could do nothing about it.
I imagine Howard is traumatized and desensitized to violence from WW1. He’s so in love with Pearl, and she could come up with whatever excuses she can and whether or not Howard believed her, he still loved her so much he couldn’t leave her. No matter what kinds of shit she committed and eventually started helping her and joining her.
He returned as a broken man, who probably had killed more than she did. In a ditch next to shell-shocked, dead, or injured soldiers. She was the only thought that kept him going. Anyone would stay in that kind of constellation because Pearl is no longer a mere person but a distorted ideal home to come back to
I could understand where Ruth was coming from punishing Pearl for buying the candy. If your family is close to starving and your kid wastes what little money you have on empty calories, it makes sense to teach them a lesson about it. However, if food is that scarce, it also doesn't make sense to deny "charity" and let a perfectly good pig go to waste. Ruth said no one would help them because they're German, but she just made that a self fulfilling prophecy by being too proud to accept a kind gesture. I think her outlook on life was technically more correct, saying you have to make the most out of what you have or else you'll never be happy, but she herself never showed an ounce of happiness, even crying herself to sleep. What's the most sad to me is she and Pearl could've been content if she'd just given some warmth and love along with the harsh lessons about reality
Did she actually spend it on candy? I thought she spent the money on that liquid morphine she was sipping during the movie, but couldn’t tell her mom that, so simply said she got some candy.
@@Autumn_Sunrise she bought the morphine for her dad because that was his medicine. She was sipping on it to get a little buzz. And then with the remainder of the money she used it to go to the movie. But told her mom she bought candy instead
the fact that Pearl apologized to her dad when she left the house was heartmelting. She even gave him medicine, and a bath... But in the end, she still killed him. I feel so bad for the father.
Honestly, what impressed me with Pearl's story is that her desperate need to get out of the farm, break the routine and pursue her dreams was very relatable to me (obviously, minus the murderous tendencies, duuh~~). Her monologue broke my heart because it was something I would say couple of years ago (again, minus the murderous tendencies). I went through 4 year unemployment which made me feel like I would never leave my house, I was reduced to housekeeping and helping my mom take care of my sick grandma and any chance in moving out / pursuing my dream would fail and make me feel like I was going crazy. Pearl's desperation and going crazy felt very real and genuine. It would've been easy to just make her another ''crazy girl with psychopathic tendencies'' but they added that extra layer of realism, of something many of us go through, which made everything even more disturbing.
Yeah, she was so relatable it was worrying (because of her murderous nature, which of course I don't relate to. That longing and desperation to leave but feeling like everyone, even your own "family" is holding you back. It'll drive you to insanity
It should be noted that the portrayal of Pearl as lacking normal maternal instincts is spot on, it's one of the underrated symptoms of narcissism and BPD.
She was forced to take care of the person that normally would have taken care of her (that being her father) so I get the reason why maybe she doesn't connect with maternity as much.
Wow! Thank you for this insight. I never knew that. I have NPD and am trying to understand it better now and am trying hard not to affect others negatively (by keeping to myself). I always wondered why I had absolutely no maternal instinct. Luckily I never had children.
Normally when I see a killer movie I never get scared by the actual killers but for some reason during the scene with misty she was being so honest and kind but still went after and killed her after making it seem like she wouldn’t scared me like it made me feel scared and anxious there are so many more brutal death scenes in other movies but this one freaked me out
Yeah that was messed up. The fact that she got away with it too. Howard must have put two and two together that Pearl killed his sister and he still stayed 😬
@@MoviesYouveScene Maybe he joined the war as an excuse to kill people? 🤔. That why he's chill with his wife killing and him being a killer himself.Just a theory. Sorry, now heard about this movie and l could be wrong.
I felt so bad misty when she died like even though she heard about everything terrible pearl did she kept calm and tries to be nice but she gets killed anyways 😞
i mean she wasn’t calm lol she knew she had to pretend bc if she didn’t then she would be next, but she was obviously visibly uncomfortable. i think that what ended up sealing her fate was being ‘cold’, just like what happened to the projectionist. if she had played into pearls delusions and basically played the part pearl wanted her to then she would have survived
The way I see it, the scarecrow scene holds much more meaning than it's usually attributed. It represents the beginning of Pearl losing her grip on reality, letting go and indulging in her fantasy land that she's had to keep repressed due to her responsibilities on the farm. I also love the decision of making Pearl kill Mitsy in the very end, as it shows how, as time goes on, Pearl needs less and less of a reason to commit murder - the mother's murder was initially an accident but it ultimately gave Pearl the idea that she can take matters into her own hands, the projectionist's murder was intentional but at least we can pinpoint the reason as to why she did it. Whereas, Mitsy never wronged Pearl in any way, rather Pearl reached the stage of killing people because she imagined them doing something she didn't like - she descended deeper into madness than was ever apparent to the audience or Pearl herself.
I interpreted the scarecrow scene as Pearl being antisocial. If I saw the damn thing, I'd get nervous and try to walk away as fast as possible. The fact she can come and dance, kiss and enact sexual behaviour with it lets me see she had a fascination for death or even felt attracted to it.
I think Mitzy really didn't land the audition but after Pearl got more irate about Mitzy saying no, the only choice is to go along with whatever Pearl needs to hear. I think if Mitzy won, we'd have a scene showing she did but it's just implied by Pearl based on what the judge said about being blonde. We have a very emotionally unstable person as our narrator who would just kill you because you told her she lied about having a dog and responded"why aren't you taking me to Europe??!!!"
They didn't have shorter lifespans, leading to early marriages. There were instead social expectations and constructs in place which made marriage necessary, and early marriage preferred. If there's no birth control, sex becomes much higher risk for everyone involved, because, you know, babies WILL happen. So there were significant social controls in place to ensure that sex only happens between engaged or married couples so there's someone to take care of those inevitable babies. Which means if you are young and full of hormones, you are going to marry quick and marry early so you can have sex. The lack of career opportunities for women made it necessary for them to attach themselves to a man who can provide an income, and 1918 was before all of those modern home conveniences we currently enjoy, so household management was an actual, vital skill that needed an entire person to handle and was its own full time job, making it advantageous for both men and women to marry.
And the idea of the teenager didn't came until at least the 1950s I believe or somewhere after World War 2. And btw your comment still takes place today, with teenagers full of hormones and marrying. For example my childhood friend, we grew apart, had a shot gun wedding and she got married to save face. I don't judge her. I just wish my country (I am trinidadian) had better sex ed, destigmatize sex and better access to contraceptives especially, for teenagers.
The average lifespan in the usa in 1918 was 36,6 years old for males and 46,6 years old for females, they just had a huge drop by 12 years in the average lifespan that year because of the flu epidemic. In 2023 the average lifespan in the usa is 79,11 years old and while it did drop because of the pandemic it didn't have a drop that drastic like what happened in 1918, because nowadays the medical field is more advanced. What you said is not wrong there were definitely different social expectations, but you can't deny that back then they also did have shorter lifespans than today, and that played a huge role on why people were marrying young.
@@sarabrenna5525 not really, when people cite average lifespan, its necesary to remember child mortality was too high lowering down the average, but that doesnt mean you would live less, people didnt drop death at 36, most died before reaching 10. And if you got through puberty you were already pretty good to go until youre 70. so marrying young had nothing to do with low average life, if anything marrying young would mean you had more time to have more kids, cause couples could have 10 kids and just 3 would survive until adulthood
I found myself having a lot of compassion for pearl and even rooting for her at times. Like, she didn’t ask to be messed up in the head, she obviously wishes she wasn’t like that, and we can even imagine a different outcome if the relationship with her mother would have been different
Exactly. Pearl would have turned out different if she felt the compassion and love. She felt her mother hated her, she hates her even more later. When she failed the audition, the part where she cries "help me" was also very disturbing because it shows how trapped she felt. This movie is art.
The ending kind of parallels midsommar that way. some kind of inverse of it. Pearl had control over most people in this plot, at least by way of murder. Dani had none. At the end, we're confronted with their grotesque expression and filled with emotional conflict as viewers. Dani had a 'good for her' moment but was also still in mortal peril. I was vacillating between the cathartic victory of Christian's murder and fear that bad things were about to happen to her. Pearl elicited both extreme fear and pity. All these feelings felt very in conflict with their respective plots.
i dont have any compassion for her, in fact the way she killed her father who was absolutely helpless and couldn't do or say anything about it, also the way she killed mitsy when she seemed to be the only person who actually cared about pearl. those things made me angry actually
They were also short on money cause of the plague, war, and sick dad so her being pissed because of Pearl spending the change, while a bit much, is a bit understandable
I'm amazed that more people don't realize that Pearl is a born psychopath and that her environment and upbringing had nothing to do with her actions. Her mother recognized it early and was determined to keep her on the farm so she wouldn't pose a threat to the world at large. All the signs are there in the dialogue.
While I agree with you of pearl being a natural born psychopath we can't deny that her mother's upbringing played a big role in how things turned, the scene where pearl kills her father tells us a lot we need to know she didn't give him the same treatment as her mother
Girl, it’s called ASPD and is a trauma based disorder stop putting more stigma to mental illness. Also with ASPD you struggle with empathy and sympathy, which Pearl was shown to not only have but be overly sensitive to the entire movie “i know your lying because i feel things really deeply”. She has a traumatic upbringing with parents she doesn’t feel loved by, she is driven by desperation. Also, to me her mothers distaste for her irregular behavior, including the more innocent like wearing her dresses, feels so autistic coded to me who IS autistic btw. Like being outed as the weird or different one, excluded, social isolation, feeling as though AND being hated for everything about you to your core even by the people you love the most and that ON TOP of the fact that she is a women and to some extent, ALWAYS expected to perform and serve others ON TOP of her abusive environment ON TOP of the time it takes place held even higher standards of what women should be like. Pearl is a character that longs for life and deeply loves, but is pained with hers never being returned or comparable to the way she feels. She has hopes and ambitions, she wants to be known she wants to be seen she doesn’t want to be second pick anymore. The need, like air and desperation that comes with has been installed to her HER ENTIRE LIFE. She is a go getter and despite what everyone else says still chooses to try and believe in herself. Her anger and violence is pent up aggression from all the years she’s had to endure, being abandoned over and over again, being taught to perform but not allowed to be seen. She doesn’t WANT to be that way, she is ashamed of it. She is so relatable to honestly any women ESPECIALLY if you’ve struggled with mental health. Pearl isn’t a good person, she doesn’t think before she acts, something evident in how bad at lying she is that she forgets the lie just a moment after it’s told, she does truly horrible things ESPECIALLY in X but it’s BECAUSE she is human BECAUSE she is flawed. Nobody is born evil, and mental illness is NOT what’s making you.
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 hey maybe you did? The whole point of the movie was performance and how desperate lengths humans will go just to be seen, no matter how much it harms you (like in X) or others (pearl). What did you think the movie was about? Cuz it’s pretty one dimensional to be like bad person, born bad no reason, does bad things.
Really loved the review. I really enjoyed the movie and Mia Goth killed it, she deserves a lot of awards. You can really feel the despair and the loss of her sanity when she was rejected.
The way her brow line is shaped she can look really frightening with some of her facial expressions, she looks different in certain lights. Such a beautiful and talented actress
I mean Pearl killing animals isn’t that odd to me considering the fact she live in a farm like she was basically worked in the type of work but it probably didn’t help her violent urges in the long run😊
About them getting married younger back then, that is actually a common misconception. Average age to get married in the US was 20. Today it's 25. So yes, a bit younger, but not that much. And also clothing was less flammable. They would have had all natural fibers, which are less flammable than our synthetic clothes today.
Theda is an alligator. The main way I remember the difference is we don't have crocodiles in the US. They're in other parts of the world. Idk why. Also "the germ" was Spanish Flu.
Best horror movie I've seen in a long time. I've skipped so many new ones, because they're just jump scares. I also wonder if there is an in between third, movie planned with Pearl and Howard. X was okay, but borrowed a lot from Tobe Hooper's film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
@@JM06261996 That's gonna be the sequel and follow up to after the events of X, not a follow up to see more about what happens after the end of Pearl which is what baffled was talking about. I'd like to see more of a direct sequel to Pearl too, so we can get to see more of her and Howard's life leading up to before the events of X, maybe even a Pearl prequel trilogy if they can make it work.
my gf and I watched X together and I remember saying “ I want to know how pearl got to this point in her life “ without knowing they were coming out with a prequel. they did not fail, this movie was everything and then some, I feel like so many of us like this movie bc it’s so relatable, not the drastic measures and impulsive decisions she takes but the feeling of dreams vs reality and what it feels like to fail when it’s the only thing you’ve ever dreamed about doing. these movies are modern gold
@@dr.burtgummerfan439all your replies to the other comments prove that you only have a surface level understanding of how people can relate to characters, even villains
Even though I love X and think it’s one the best films of the year I think Pearl’s better because of how sad it is through out and even when it’s not a horror movie and just about Pearl’s life I think it’s a really effective psychological horror film and the kills were brutal. I think Mitsy’s death is so scary because of how slow and drawn out it was and I thought that she was quite likeable aswell, she seemed genuinely kind to Pearl and the only person who really felt for her. And I think that this film emphasised my sympathy for Pearl because I felt sorry for her in X but this film really showed her as a victim of an emotionally neglectful mother and cruel society
Girl, yes. I watched these films alone and so I had no one to really talk to about my reactions to them. But hearing you and your funny hella real remarks: I feel validated lol.
This was really well done. It's a Good Synopsis, has some trivia, and a distinct line between your interpretation with what the film actually shows. I subscribed and would be interested in seeing you review some more scary movies.
So I just watched Pearl And I'd say X and Pearl Are well directed Well acted, entertaining I'd call them dark comedys more so then a horror movies. I can say Pearl heartbreak Is honestly disturbing when she screams. Her monolog was Oscar worthy. Overall I enjoyed Pearl more then X I personally don't understand how people are calling them the best horror movies of the year. Their good movies, funny, slightly disturbing But far from scary. Also I enjoyed your breakdown of this film You just gained a subscriber
I saw Pearl 2 months ago, and just watched X yesterday. I love this franchise and they are definitely my favorite horror movies as of rn!! Great commentary! Subscribed
X was such a let down. It wasn’t terrible imo, just super basic. Think they banked too much on people being grossed out by h*rny old people but in reality it really isn’t disturbing. The film felt like just an excuse for gratuitous nudity, and apart from the alligator/shot gun deaths, and Jenna’s acting.. it was meh. HOWEVER, Pearl is by FAR a superior movie. It even made me like X a bit more. The call backs to the alligator, the blonde line, the adult film, were fun little details. And I agree that this movie achieved what X didn’t, it separated itself from the usual horror film, it was a fresh take on the genre
@@MASSIEKRE Something more creative. Scream and Cabin in the woods both touched upon sex and nudity in horror in great ways. If the plot was a bunch of sexually active young adults and not an adult film crew, not much would change in the story. Pearl wasn't really depicted as a sexual fiend like X made her out to be so the porn plotline doesn't hold much weight as I don't see how that would make Maxine a star in Pearls eyes. I was expecting more, nothing to do with being bothered by the explicit scenes. My argument is not "Nude = bad :((" as you basically implied with the sassy little nun statement
First time watching your channel, my Lord you are hilarious! I can’t believe I’ve never been recommended your channel before. You have a new subscriber
I watched X right after and didn’t really enjoy it as much but it was cool to see Pearl and Howard in old age..I still wonder why Howard stayed all those years when he was visibly scared when he came home
Oh my god, you totally had me laughing at your commentary! I watched this movie when it came out and I did just like you at the end and started laughing with her face on the screen! And then her eyes start watering, great ending!! You have a true talent doing this , don’t stop!!
Great review. I really enjoyed it. I already saw the movie but in cam online, waiting to see it in HD so I can experience her facial expressions and acting. I subscribed because I like the way you review movies. Thanks.
Omg!!!!! “Serial Mom” I’ve been searching YEARS for the name of that movie. I remembered watching it as a child and have been searching HIGH AND LOW!!!!!! For it. It’s crazy how I I casually find it now😂😂😂😂
I think he probably just thought she went mad from being isolated during the pandemic (something like cabin fever) & he loved her + didn’t want her to get in trouble for something that he thought she couldn’t help. But we know from what Pearl’s mom said and Pearl’s monologue at the end that there was always something wrong with her and she hid it from Howard to make sure she would end up marrying him because she thought he would take her away from the farm & to a life of luxury. Then as the years went on Howard maybe realized it was more than a cabin fever-type situation but just accepted it as his new life, or maybe he stayed believing that she “went mad” and just never got better. I believe this because in “X” Howard tells one of the characters basically that his wife is not well and her condition acts up at night.
@@tc-ep6vj also it could be interpreted as families death being accidents. Howard could've thought that Pearl lost her mind after her family and living alone in the house.
this was honestly one of the best horror movies i watched last year. her monologue was absolutely immaculate and it completely made the movie as good as it was
Try that as a farmer,you will get too old to plow the fields and plant and will starve,let alome taking care of a ill father,of coirse her mother was the way she was,she was a lady having to deal with responsabilities a growm ass man nowadays cant
Unfortunately I ended up watching X via a movie reaction so i expected almost everything except some of the gore due to the censorship. Pearl was a first time watch, yet both are really good in my eyes. Pearl being the best of the two. Can’t wait till MaXXINE.
Just saw this last night! I watched X daytime and Pearl in the evening! Very dope! I wish you remixed the mom’s accent with Nigerian accent 😊 great video thank you for your service! 🙌🏾🔥💨
Not knowing the difference between a crocodile and an alligator is funny but not knowing the difference between a duck and a goose is hilarious =D Great video tho. Both excellent movies but Pearl was far superior. Looking forward to Maxxxine.
I know you said that you didn't like "X" (didn't care for it myself), but after this review (which I liked very much) I am curious as to why you didn't like "X"? And did "Pearl" change your opinion, now in retrospect?
18:30 natural fibre and tightly woven fabrics found in history are actually very fire retardant. Its modern plastic fabrics that are super flammable (particularly the ones 60's-80's as there was lass word done to help with that).
I saw the movie x on TikTok and when I saw it was a horror movie including Jenna Ortega I knew I was going to watch it but when it started and I saw Mia she changed my life her performance was incredible and when I heard there was going to be a sequel a few months later with the main character being pearl/Mia I was so excited about it and it was so good I love Mia goth so much and it's a coincidence my name is also Mia
One thing I noticed is that the house represents Pearl’s hope for a future, leaving the farm. In Pearl the house is nicely decorated and is very lively and cozy. In X the house is bland and void of homeliness, stripped of wallpaper, paint, etc. To me this shows the life Pearl dreamt for slowly faded as she grew older and older, and the house slowly died with that hope, until we arrive in 1979, the year X takes place.
The mother wasn't being mean at all just very strict, it was war times and pearl and her family are german they could have easily been ostracized into being poor or killed. And pearls mom already knows about the terrible stuff she does and tries to tell her to stop, feels like you didn't even try to understand her character
I understood her mom but she coulda been there for pearl more emotionally. She was all duty and emotion. Like pearl said, she meant well, but she wanted her daughter to suffer with her. Then at the same time, she did see pearl do weird shit like kill animals so she always saw that side of pearl and knew her being a star would never work
The mother recognized early that Pearl was a born psychopath and how dangerous she is. That's why she was determined to keep her on the farm, even programming her to believe she'd never leave it.
To think I found your channel by mistake and have never even seen or was even interested in the movie Pearl but I’m so glad I found this video because you are hilarious!! I loved this 😂 corn nrop 😂
LITERALLY, the top half of david corenswet's face, istg, can bypass as young brendan fraser. but the rest of his face is literally henry cavill, only me?
I love this review, the voice acting was great lmao. But Pearl reminded me of a more extreme version of myself. The need for validation and acceptance. The constant mindset of succeeding and not staying in the same place. The attachment issues like that’s my girl fr 😭 she’s crazy but 🤏🏽 just like me. Edit: I don’t need some random people on the internet to tell me to get help, I don’t know you neither do you know me. I said Pearl reminds me a little of myself, a heavily dramatized version as I have BPD. I’m literally in therapy. Please worry about yourself and be less ignorant, I didn’t ask for anyones opinion 💕
Correction: Pearl came out the SAME year as X 😂
The duck is a goose
They actually filmed them kind of at the same time cause they had to quarantine in new zeland so ti west decided to write the sequel
@@inaminute9643exactly my thought
Do GET OUT!
I'm dying to know what she looks like
Pearl makes X like 100 times better. When I watched X I didn't think much of it, but after seeing Pearl I watched X again and it was a lot better. Noticing things that I wasn't even thinking about like the property Pearl lives at, and how she never leaves there like she wanted to. That crocodile eating Pearls victims, made so much more sense to me why Pearl was watching the crocodile eat that blonde in X, and the way she said she never liked blondes.
💯
Oh wow I barely saw X and YT suggests this one. Imagine that young Pearl is old Pearl and Mia Goth is a stellar actress wow. Did you know X was based on a true story?

Should I watch Pearl first before watching x?
@@eden20111 Imo yes, but that's totally up to you.
Totally, X got better after watching pearl
I think a really important aspect to the audition was that her dancing wasn’t the problem! they said she did well and that they have dancers at the level she is in the troop already. It was her appearance that made them move on, something she has absolutely no control over.
Ahhhh! You’re right!
Sad really...
I was thinking why even audition her??? Why not say “only looking for blonde dancers”
@@rebbiedavis12 around those times and even in shows like American idol, x-factor etc they pride themselves on the misery of rejecting others. It’s business as usual.
The judge saying they were looking for a certain type planted the seed for Mitsy’s fate

Want to mention the water pearl threw on her mother to stop the fire was BOILING water so it definitely left the mother even more burned as a result… such a scary scene
Damn never noticed it
i coudn't stop noticing that when i saw the movie!!! it was a detail but makes the situation even more horrofying
Yeah it was steaming
Tbf it was the best she could do, otherwise it wouldn't have been only her mother in flames but the entire home
i screamed "NO" when i saw that scene lmao

I know I can’t believe people didn’t like it I thought it was great
@Nightwing defeating bad guys don’t be a prude
Took the words right out of my mouth
i felt so bad for the dad throughout the whole movie he was so defenseless😭😭
The situation he was in was so horrifying. He clearly knew everything that was going on. Seeing his daughter about to feed him to a crocodile, seeing his wife set on fire then her daughter pouring boiling water on her. All whilst he could do nothing about it.
@@snowd_nia his POV is the real horror story, and the actor did a phenomenal job conveying that with limited motion.
The father being frightened was the most disturbing part of the movie imo
I imagine Howard is traumatized and desensitized to violence from WW1. He’s so in love with Pearl, and she could come up with whatever excuses she can and whether or not Howard believed her, he still loved her so much he couldn’t leave her. No matter what kinds of shit she committed and eventually started helping her and joining her.
Yeah, I also think he wanted to do whatever he could to make her happy since he couldn’t for their whole marriage really
He returned as a broken man, who probably had killed more than she did. In a ditch next to shell-shocked, dead, or injured soldiers. She was the only thought that kept him going. Anyone would stay in that kind of constellation because Pearl is no longer a mere person but a distorted ideal home to come back to
He also VOLUNTARILY applied to become a soldier, so I think he was already pretty desensitized from violent behavior
I could understand where Ruth was coming from punishing Pearl for buying the candy. If your family is close to starving and your kid wastes what little money you have on empty calories, it makes sense to teach them a lesson about it. However, if food is that scarce, it also doesn't make sense to deny "charity" and let a perfectly good pig go to waste. Ruth said no one would help them because they're German, but she just made that a self fulfilling prophecy by being too proud to accept a kind gesture.
I think her outlook on life was technically more correct, saying you have to make the most out of what you have or else you'll never be happy, but she herself never showed an ounce of happiness, even crying herself to sleep. What's the most sad to me is she and Pearl could've been content if she'd just given some warmth and love along with the harsh lessons about reality
Very good analysis, especially about the pig. She was prideful yet they were struggling
Did she actually spend it on candy? I thought she spent the money on that liquid morphine she was sipping during the movie, but couldn’t tell her mom that, so simply said she got some candy.
@@Autumn_Sunrise she bought the morphine for her dad because that was his medicine. She was sipping on it to get a little buzz. And then with the remainder of the money she used it to go to the movie. But told her mom she bought candy instead
@@MoviesYouveScene Ooh! I thought she bought her own bottle lol. That makes sense.
@@Autumn_Sunrise honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if she did 🤣
the fact that Pearl apologized to her dad when she left the house was heartmelting. She even gave him medicine, and a bath... But in the end, she still killed him. I feel so bad for the father.
Honestly, what impressed me with Pearl's story is that her desperate need to get out of the farm, break the routine and pursue her dreams was very relatable to me (obviously, minus the murderous tendencies, duuh~~). Her monologue broke my heart because it was something I would say couple of years ago (again, minus the murderous tendencies). I went through 4 year unemployment which made me feel like I would never leave my house, I was reduced to housekeeping and helping my mom take care of my sick grandma and any chance in moving out / pursuing my dream would fail and make me feel like I was going crazy. Pearl's desperation and going crazy felt very real and genuine. It would've been easy to just make her another ''crazy girl with psychopathic tendencies'' but they added that extra layer of realism, of something many of us go through, which made everything even more disturbing.
Yeah, she was so relatable it was worrying (because of her murderous nature, which of course I don't relate to. That longing and desperation to leave but feeling like everyone, even your own "family" is holding you back. It'll drive you to insanity
It should be noted that the portrayal of Pearl as lacking normal maternal instincts is spot on, it's one of the underrated symptoms of narcissism and BPD.
Bpd as in borderline or bipolar?
She was forced to take care of the person that normally would have taken care of her (that being her father) so I get the reason why maybe she doesn't connect with maternity as much.
@@jyotiichatterji bpd means borderline. no one uses bpd to mean bipolar
Wow! Thank you for this insight. I never knew that. I have NPD and am trying to understand it better now and am trying hard not to affect others negatively (by keeping to myself). I always wondered why I had absolutely no maternal instinct. Luckily I never had children.
@@KatrinaDancer🙏🏽
This horror was a true original. There's nothing like it and I love it. Mia deserves a whole Oscar because that woman can ACT! Love Pearl
Normally when I see a killer movie I never get scared by the actual killers but for some reason during the scene with misty she was being so honest and kind but still went after and killed her after making it seem like she wouldn’t scared me like it made me feel scared and anxious there are so many more brutal death scenes in other movies but this one freaked me out
Yeah that was messed up. The fact that she got away with it too. Howard must have put two and two together that Pearl killed his sister and he still stayed 😬
@@MoviesYouveScene Maybe he joined the war as an excuse to kill people? 🤔. That why he's chill with his wife killing and him being a killer himself.Just a theory. Sorry, now heard about this movie and l could be wrong.
@@steamyvegetables1445 hmmm, that could be possible!
Same! I kept talking to my tv yelling at Mitzy to run fast lol
Omg same here! I don't get scared easily but my heart was beating so fast when I felt Misty was in danger.
I felt so bad misty when she died like even though she heard about everything terrible pearl did she kept calm and tries to be nice but she gets killed anyways 😞
i mean she wasn’t calm lol she knew she had to pretend bc if she didn’t then she would be next, but she was obviously visibly uncomfortable. i think that what ended up sealing her fate was being ‘cold’, just like what happened to the projectionist. if she had played into pearls delusions and basically played the part pearl wanted her to then she would have survived
The way I see it, the scarecrow scene holds much more meaning than it's usually attributed. It represents the beginning of Pearl losing her grip on reality, letting go and indulging in her fantasy land that she's had to keep repressed due to her responsibilities on the farm. I also love the decision of making Pearl kill Mitsy in the very end, as it shows how, as time goes on, Pearl needs less and less of a reason to commit murder - the mother's murder was initially an accident but it ultimately gave Pearl the idea that she can take matters into her own hands, the projectionist's murder was intentional but at least we can pinpoint the reason as to why she did it. Whereas, Mitsy never wronged Pearl in any way, rather Pearl reached the stage of killing people because she imagined them doing something she didn't like - she descended deeper into madness than was ever apparent to the audience or Pearl herself.
I interpreted the scarecrow scene as Pearl being antisocial.
If I saw the damn thing, I'd get nervous and try to walk away as fast as possible.
The fact she can come and dance, kiss and enact sexual behaviour with it lets me see she had a fascination for death or even felt attracted to it.
I think Mitzy really didn't land the audition but after Pearl got more irate about Mitzy saying no, the only choice is to go along with whatever Pearl needs to hear. I think if Mitzy won, we'd have a scene showing she did but it's just implied by Pearl based on what the judge said about being blonde. We have a very emotionally unstable person as our narrator who would just kill you because you told her she lied about having a dog and responded"why aren't you taking me to Europe??!!!"
You are so right! I first believed that Mitzy didn't get the part either but there was just no convincing Pearl.
i thought this too or it could be left ambiguous on purpose
She did get the role since if you rewatch the movie, there are no other blondes (except Mitzy) at the audition.
@@avinashmusician2630 No there is another blond girl in the audition. If you watch carefully you can see that the last girl on the line is blonde
Nah I think she won
the scarecrow scene was so disturbing but when she screamed "IM MARRIED" i absolutely lost it LMFAO
They didn't have shorter lifespans, leading to early marriages. There were instead social expectations and constructs in place which made marriage necessary, and early marriage preferred. If there's no birth control, sex becomes much higher risk for everyone involved, because, you know, babies WILL happen. So there were significant social controls in place to ensure that sex only happens between engaged or married couples so there's someone to take care of those inevitable babies. Which means if you are young and full of hormones, you are going to marry quick and marry early so you can have sex. The lack of career opportunities for women made it necessary for them to attach themselves to a man who can provide an income, and 1918 was before all of those modern home conveniences we currently enjoy, so household management was an actual, vital skill that needed an entire person to handle and was its own full time job, making it advantageous for both men and women to marry.
And the idea of the teenager didn't came until at least the 1950s I believe or somewhere after World War 2. And btw your comment still takes place today, with teenagers full of hormones and marrying. For example my childhood friend, we grew apart, had a shot gun wedding and she got married to save face. I don't judge her. I just wish my country (I am trinidadian) had better sex ed, destigmatize sex and better access to contraceptives especially, for teenagers.
The average lifespan in the usa in 1918 was 36,6 years old for males and 46,6 years old for females, they just had a huge drop by 12 years in the average lifespan that year because of the flu epidemic. In 2023 the average lifespan in the usa is 79,11 years old and while it did drop because of the pandemic it didn't have a drop that drastic like what happened in 1918, because nowadays the medical field is more advanced. What you said is not wrong there were definitely different social expectations, but you can't deny that back then they also did have shorter lifespans than today, and that played a huge role on why people were marrying young.
@@sarabrenna5525 not really, when people cite average lifespan, its necesary to remember child mortality was too high lowering down the average, but that doesnt mean you would live less, people didnt drop death at 36, most died before reaching 10. And if you got through puberty you were already pretty good to go until youre 70. so marrying young had nothing to do with low average life, if anything marrying young would mean you had more time to have more kids, cause couples could have 10 kids and just 3 would survive until adulthood
your pearl impression is everything! the 'nuthin' sent me into oblivion and a coughing fit for 20 mins
Hahahhaha thank you!
I found myself having a lot of compassion for pearl and even rooting for her at times. Like, she didn’t ask to be messed up in the head, she obviously wishes she wasn’t like that, and we can even imagine a different outcome if the relationship with her mother would have been different
Exactly. Pearl would have turned out different if she felt the compassion and love. She felt her mother hated her, she hates her even more later. When she failed the audition, the part where she cries "help me" was also very disturbing because it shows how trapped she felt. This movie is art.
The ending kind of parallels midsommar that way. some kind of inverse of it. Pearl had control over most people in this plot, at least by way of murder. Dani had none. At the end, we're confronted with their grotesque expression and filled with emotional conflict as viewers. Dani had a 'good for her' moment but was also still in mortal peril. I was vacillating between the cathartic victory of Christian's murder and fear that bad things were about to happen to her. Pearl elicited both extreme fear and pity. All these feelings felt very in conflict with their respective plots.
i dont have any compassion for her, in fact the way she killed her father who was absolutely helpless and couldn't do or say anything about it, also the way she killed mitsy when she seemed to be the only person who actually cared about pearl. those things made me angry actually
@@deezkacang4713 deadass because she crazy af I ain’t got no sympathy for her 🫥
9:35 i think back then even 8¢ was a lot for sweets so her mum probably was frustrated with the amount of sweets pearl supposedly bought.
Yeah and she probably was doing it all the time with all the movies she was watching 😆
to be exact, it would be $1.57 today
They were also short on money cause of the plague, war, and sick dad so her being pissed because of Pearl spending the change, while a bit much, is a bit understandable
I'm amazed that more people don't realize that Pearl is a born psychopath and that her environment and upbringing had nothing to do with her actions. Her mother recognized it early and was determined to keep her on the farm so she wouldn't pose a threat to the world at large. All the signs are there in the dialogue.
While I agree with you of pearl being a natural born psychopath we can't deny that her mother's upbringing played a big role in how things turned, the scene where pearl kills her father tells us a lot we need to know she didn't give him the same treatment as her mother
@@anita_loves_apples765 Her father was basically helpless, he wasn't actively trying to keep her on the farm like her mother was.
Girl, it’s called ASPD and is a trauma based disorder stop putting more stigma to mental illness. Also with ASPD you struggle with empathy and sympathy, which Pearl was shown to not only have but be overly sensitive to the entire movie “i know your lying because i feel things really deeply”.
She has a traumatic upbringing with parents she doesn’t feel loved by, she is driven by desperation.
Also, to me her mothers distaste for her irregular behavior, including the more innocent like wearing her dresses, feels so autistic coded to me who IS autistic btw. Like being outed as the weird or different one, excluded, social isolation, feeling as though AND being hated for everything about you to your core even by the people you love the most and that ON TOP of the fact that she is a women and to some extent, ALWAYS expected to perform and serve others ON TOP of her abusive environment ON TOP of the time it takes place held even higher standards of what women should be like.
Pearl is a character that longs for life and deeply loves, but is pained with hers never being returned or comparable to the way she feels. She has hopes and ambitions, she wants to be known she wants to be seen she doesn’t want to be second pick anymore. The need, like air and desperation that comes with has been installed to her HER ENTIRE LIFE.
She is a go getter and despite what everyone else says still chooses to try and believe in herself.
Her anger and violence is pent up aggression from all the years she’s had to endure, being abandoned over and over again, being taught to perform but not allowed to be seen. She doesn’t WANT to be that way, she is ashamed of it.
She is so relatable to honestly any women ESPECIALLY if you’ve struggled with mental health.
Pearl isn’t a good person, she doesn’t think before she acts, something evident in how bad at lying she is that she forgets the lie just a moment after it’s told, she does truly horrible things ESPECIALLY in X but it’s BECAUSE she is human BECAUSE she is flawed. Nobody is born evil, and mental illness is NOT what’s making you.
@@heyitsmeyourlesbianfather7256 Wow, you really missed the point of the entire movie.
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 hey maybe you did? The whole point of the movie was performance and how desperate lengths humans will go just to be seen, no matter how much it harms you (like in X) or others (pearl). What did you think the movie was about? Cuz it’s pretty one dimensional to be like bad person, born bad no reason, does bad things.
OMG! your re-enactments, explanation, editing, I love it all, I felt so invested that I didn't notice how fast time passed ♥
Thank you!!
Really loved the review. I really enjoyed the movie and Mia Goth killed it, she deserves a lot of awards. You can really feel the despair and the loss of her sanity when she was rejected.
She is SO damn talented, I really hope she continues to get parts that let her shine, she could be a real heavyweight by the time she’s older
The way her brow line is shaped she can look really frightening with some of her facial expressions, she looks different in certain lights. Such a beautiful and talented actress
She is!
I mean Pearl killing animals isn’t that odd to me considering the fact she live in a farm like she was basically worked in the type of work but it probably didn’t help her violent urges in the long run😊
About them getting married younger back then, that is actually a common misconception. Average age to get married in the US was 20. Today it's 25. So yes, a bit younger, but not that much.
And also clothing was less flammable. They would have had all natural fibers, which are less flammable than our synthetic clothes today.
Theda is an alligator. The main way I remember the difference is we don't have crocodiles in the US. They're in other parts of the world. Idk why.
Also "the germ" was Spanish Flu.
Wow didn’t know that! Thank you!!
There actually are crocodiles here. Only at the very southern tip of Florida though
Crocodiles have their teeth poking out from under their jaws when their mouths are closed while alligators don't, iirc
There are crocodiles here in Florida. They're more aggressive and dangerous than alligators (they're also uglier in my opinion).
And the snout shapes are different. Round and blunt snouts are alligators, pointed snouts are crocodiles.
This is genuinely one of the best movie reviews I’ve ever seen… you’re hilarious 😂
Thank you so much!
@@MoviesYouveScene I agree, you did a phenomenal job and it made me laugh :-)
Best horror movie I've seen in a long time. I've skipped so many new ones, because they're just jump scares. I also wonder if there is an in between third, movie planned with Pearl and Howard. X was okay, but borrowed a lot from Tobe Hooper's film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
We definitely need a hxward prequel or something. Man rlly didn’t care Pearl murdered his sister 😭
@@Carlos-ew9vr Yes, if done well like Pearl it could be a really good movie. Very true about his sister. Maybe she and Howard were two peas in a pod.
There is a third movie. It takes place in the 80s and it’s called Maxxxine
@@JM06261996 That's gonna be the sequel and follow up to after the events of X, not a follow up to see more about what happens after the end of Pearl which is what baffled was talking about. I'd like to see more of a direct sequel to Pearl too, so we can get to see more of her and Howard's life leading up to before the events of X, maybe even a Pearl prequel trilogy if they can make it work.
my gf and I watched X together and I remember saying “ I want to know how pearl got to this point in her
life “ without knowing they were coming out with a prequel. they did not fail, this movie was everything and then some, I feel like so many of us like this movie bc it’s so relatable, not the drastic measures and impulsive decisions she takes but the feeling of dreams vs reality and what it feels like to fail when it’s the only thing you’ve ever dreamed about doing. these movies are modern gold
It's only "relatable" if you're a psychopath. That's like identifying with the guy in American Psycho.
@@dr.burtgummerfan439all your replies to the other comments prove that you only have a surface level understanding of how people can relate to characters, even villains
@@dr.burtgummerfan439👀
Mitsy's scene was like Jurassic World. I was like take off your heels. Take off your heels.
Righttt! She had so many opportunities and open space to get away
Even though I love X and think it’s one the best films of the year I think Pearl’s better because of how sad it is through out and even when it’s not a horror movie and just about Pearl’s life I think it’s a really effective psychological horror film and the kills were brutal. I think Mitsy’s death is so scary because of how slow and drawn out it was and I thought that she was quite likeable aswell, she seemed genuinely kind to Pearl and the only person who really felt for her. And I think that this film emphasised my sympathy for Pearl because I felt sorry for her in X but this film really showed her as a victim of an emotionally neglectful mother and cruel society
Great Pearl impressions
Wish we could have gotten just one more scene for Howard’s reaction, how did we get from here to X
Omgsh… SAMEEE!
Maybe we can expect a Howard film
That's literally the question I had when the movie ended ! How did he survive.
@@k.a._135 I’m pretty sure Howard is the one in X
@@k.a._135 yeah i was also wondering why pearl let howard live
Girl, yes. I watched these films alone and so I had no one to really talk to about my reactions to them. But hearing you and your funny hella real remarks: I feel validated lol.
You forgot to mention that she threw boiling water at her mom to put out the fire... That scene omg
That was savage
This was really well done. It's a Good Synopsis, has some trivia, and a distinct line between your interpretation with what the film actually shows. I subscribed and would be interested in seeing you review some more scary movies.
Thank you so much!!
So I just watched Pearl
And I'd say X and Pearl
Are well directed
Well acted, entertaining
I'd call them dark comedys more so then a horror movies.
I can say Pearl heartbreak Is honestly disturbing when she screams.
Her monolog was Oscar worthy.
Overall I enjoyed Pearl more then X
I personally don't understand how people are calling them the best horror movies of the year.
Their good movies, funny, slightly disturbing
But far from scary.
Also I enjoyed your breakdown of this film
You just gained a subscriber
Thank you!!
I completely agree
Pearl killed the goose because he was a critic 😒
I saw Pearl 2 months ago, and just watched X yesterday. I love this franchise and they are definitely my favorite horror movies as of rn!! Great commentary! Subscribed
Maxxxine is coming soon 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿
I liked that a prequel is needed to fully understand the film. Then you watch the main film after the prequel and catch little throwbacks.
God this movie was more of a tragedy than it was horror.
X was such a let down. It wasn’t terrible imo, just super basic. Think they banked too much on people being grossed out by h*rny old people but in reality it really isn’t disturbing. The film felt like just an excuse for gratuitous nudity, and apart from the alligator/shot gun deaths, and Jenna’s acting.. it was meh. HOWEVER, Pearl is by FAR a superior movie. It even made me like X a bit more. The call backs to the alligator, the blonde line, the adult film, were fun little details. And I agree that this movie achieved what X didn’t, it separated itself from the usual horror film, it was a fresh take on the genre
I agree 1000%
i liked X because the characters are likable nice people
@@MASSIEKRE Something more creative. Scream and Cabin in the woods both touched upon sex and nudity in horror in great ways. If the plot was a bunch of sexually active young adults and not an adult film crew, not much would change in the story. Pearl wasn't really depicted as a sexual fiend like X made her out to be so the porn plotline doesn't hold much weight as I don't see how that would make Maxine a star in Pearls eyes. I was expecting more, nothing to do with being bothered by the explicit scenes. My argument is not "Nude = bad :((" as you basically implied with the sassy little nun statement

This video kept showing up on my feed. Glad I watched lol top-notch voice acting and commentary 😂
Good to hear! Thanks for watching haha!!
I watched X right after and didn’t really enjoy it as much but it was cool to see Pearl and Howard in old age..I still wonder why Howard stayed all those years when he was visibly scared when he came home
Mia Goth was absolutely incredible in this movie
Her monologue is such a great peek into the mind of a true psychopath.
Oh my god, you totally had me laughing at your commentary! I watched this movie when it came out and I did just like you at the end and started laughing with her face on the screen! And then her eyes start watering, great ending!!
You have a true talent doing this , don’t stop!!

3:38 the way you can tell the difference is whether the animal will see you later or after a while
Omg!!!!! “Serial Mom” I’ve been searching YEARS for the name of that movie. I remembered watching it as a child and have been searching HIGH AND LOW!!!!!! For it. It’s crazy how I I casually find it now😂😂😂😂
Hahaha! Glad you found it
I wish we saw why Howard would even stay lol that Amman truly loves her
I think he probably just thought she went mad from being isolated during the pandemic (something like cabin fever) & he loved her + didn’t want her to get in trouble for something that he thought she couldn’t help.
But we know from what Pearl’s mom said and Pearl’s monologue at the end that there was always something wrong with her and she hid it from Howard to make sure she would end up marrying him because she thought he would take her away from the farm & to a life of luxury.
Then as the years went on Howard maybe realized it was more than a cabin fever-type situation but just accepted it as his new life, or maybe he stayed believing that she “went mad” and just never got better. I believe this because in “X” Howard tells one of the characters basically that his wife is not well and her condition acts up at night.
@@tc-ep6vj also it could be interpreted as families death being accidents. Howard could've thought that Pearl lost her mind after her family and living alone in the house.
@@animeluver22ful very true, i wish we had gotten to know more of Howard’s thoughts about everything
this was honestly one of the best horror movies i watched last year. her monologue was absolutely immaculate and it completely made the movie as good as it was
Probably the best breakdown so far
Thank you so much!
Don’t have kids if you’re not ready for them to have their own dreams and aspirations (murders aside)
Try that as a farmer,you will get too old to plow the fields and plant and will starve,let alome taking care of a ill father,of coirse her mother was the way she was,she was a lady having to deal with responsabilities a growm ass man nowadays cant

Best review I’ve seen so far on this movie 👍 keep up the great work! Unlike Pearl, I think ur channel will actually get success 😉
Lol Poor Pearl. Thank you sm!
Clicked for the commentary, stayed for that golden voice acting lol
Thank youuu!!
I luved your review. Your voice,commentary,&re-enactments were insightful&entertaining!! Thanks for not using robot voice!!
Unfortunately I ended up watching X via a movie reaction so i expected almost everything except some of the gore due to the censorship. Pearl was a first time watch, yet both are really good in my eyes. Pearl being the best of the two.
Can’t wait till MaXXINE.
🔥
BRO YES if Mitsy and the guy acted normal they couldve not died 😭
Just saw this last night! I watched X daytime and Pearl in the evening! Very dope! I wish you remixed the mom’s accent with Nigerian accent 😊 great video thank you for your service! 🙌🏾🔥💨
Great review! Perfectly timed humour too 😆👏
Best voice acting
LMBO I naturally switch in and out of accents when I'm feeling silly. Thank you!!
Not knowing the difference between a crocodile and an alligator is funny but not knowing the difference between a duck and a goose is hilarious =D Great video tho. Both excellent movies but Pearl was far superior. Looking forward to Maxxxine.
the dress on fire and the coca-cola and paint moment i`m-
Pearl is my favourite movie of the year. Mia was brilliant.
when you said "mitzi nooo dont do it" you sounded like tree trunks from adventure time hahahahahs
Mia reminds me of a young Shelly duvall
Yess!
I know you said that you didn't like "X" (didn't care for it myself), but after this review (which I liked very much) I am curious as to why you didn't like "X"? And did "Pearl" change your opinion, now in retrospect?
i had NO IDEA that mia goth was older pearl too!!!! thays blown my mind!
There are so many similarities between Pearl and Joaquin Phoenix's Joker!
When you said you didn’t like X, I couldn’t take you seriously
OMG you are hilarious.. .love your commentating.. LOL..UR HILARIOUS!!! Keep it up!
I loved x it was a new and incredibly thought out movie, pearl made me love x even more
18:30 natural fibre and tightly woven fabrics found in history are actually very fire retardant. Its modern plastic fabrics that are super flammable (particularly the ones 60's-80's as there was lass word done to help with that).
I saw the movie x on TikTok and when I saw it was a horror movie including Jenna Ortega I knew I was going to watch it but when it started and I saw Mia she changed my life her performance was incredible and when I heard there was going to be a sequel a few months later with the main character being pearl/Mia I was so excited about it and it was so good I love Mia goth so much and it's a coincidence my name is also Mia
Mia Goth is a revaluation.
One thing I noticed is that the house represents Pearl’s hope for a future, leaving the farm.
In Pearl the house is nicely decorated and is very lively and cozy.
In X the house is bland and void of homeliness, stripped of wallpaper, paint, etc.
To me this shows the life Pearl dreamt for slowly faded as she grew older and older, and the house slowly died with that hope, until we arrive in 1979, the year X takes place.
The mother wasn't being mean at all just very strict, it was war times and pearl and her family are german they could have easily been ostracized into being poor or killed. And pearls mom already knows about the terrible stuff she does and tries to tell her to stop, feels like you didn't even try to understand her character
Nah because those are not passes to being a terrible parent. The delusion...
I understood her mom but she coulda been there for pearl more emotionally. She was all duty and emotion. Like pearl said, she meant well, but she wanted her daughter to suffer with her. Then at the same time, she did see pearl do weird shit like kill animals so she always saw that side of pearl and knew her being a star would never work
@@gonotrovi as if pearl was any better lmfo, she was already evil, her mom saw her killing animals so easily, thats why she was so strict on her.
@@gonotrovi She wasn’t terrible she was strict lol did we watch the same movie??
The mother recognized early that Pearl was a born psychopath and how dangerous she is. That's why she was determined to keep her on the farm, even programming her to believe she'd never leave it.
Your re-enactments are the best…😂 😭
I didn’t really think X was related to Pearl until I watched it and it all made sense. X was trash ngl but pearl was anazing
I subcribed because the cow said "Spoiler she never gets off the farm. mooo"I didnt expect that at all.😂

LITERALLY, the top half of david corenswet's face, istg, can bypass as young brendan fraser. but the rest of his face is literally henry cavill, only me?
I love this review, the voice acting was great lmao. But Pearl reminded me of a more extreme version of myself. The need for validation and acceptance. The constant mindset of succeeding and not staying in the same place. The attachment issues like that’s my girl fr 😭 she’s crazy but 🤏🏽 just like me.
Edit: I don’t need some random people on the internet to tell me to get help, I don’t know you neither do you know me.
