How Mia Goth Became a HORROR ICON: From X to Pearl to Infinity Pool to MaXXXine

[@blackpearltranchau]

First time I saw her is in Emma. I thought :"awww, this girl is so cuteeee" Then I searched her and watch her other movies, OMG she's wild 🤣

[@Larunart]

LMAO I absolutely loved that Mia Goth impression

[@cmaden78]

Who actually likes lars von whatever. Everything he makes creeps me out

[@ozymandiasultor9480]

@@cmaden78 I love all of his movies because he is an incredibly talented director. It is strange that films of Lars von Trier creep you out, no matter that all movies mentioned in this video are creepy, some much more than movies of Lars von Trier.

She was the best thing about infinity pool

[@DaughterOfTheKingdom16]

She would be a great for The Shining remake!!

[@superprecise]

Please please please don't do a Shining remake

[@nanarae2921]

why do u need a remake for everything? it's already perfect.

[@godabandonedthistimeline]

​@@nanarae2921While Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is an amazing movie it fails as an adaptation of Stephen King's book. Wendy especially is a very different character from the book. So we don't need a remake of Kubrick's movie but an adaptation of King's book, something that Mia Goth would be perfect for.

I saw Pearl then X and I'm really glad I did, because I really enjoyed her character/performance in Pearl, not so much the movie itself, and HATED X. She is an insanely good actress. Also, I'd never heard her real voice before and holy shit.

[@spacekitt.n]

i feel the same exact way. i really didnt like X, i thought it was really bad and i barely finished it. the accolades that it gets and also being related to Pearl, i feel like i missed something and might try to watch it again---perhaps i was in the wrong state of mind watching it the first time. But yeah, pearl is such a fantastic movie its hard for me to express how much i love it

[@elegyofaloyalhound]

I hated X, but after watching it 3 times.. I finally realized how brilliant it was. Anyone who doesn't like it I definitely recommend rewatching.

[@midas2252]

@@elegyofaloyalhound- What compelled you to watch a movie three times after you deemed you hated it?

[@NancyWestgate-gj7ev]

​@spacekitt.n because X was supposed to look and feel like a 1970s movie and let me tell you, it looked exactly like Texas Chainsaw and almost every other 70s movie. He did a great job making a ruddy 70s movie- ba dialogue and all!

[@Magdalena8008s]

I forsee a bright, bright future for her. Oscars. Emmys. And think shes one who will do anything for a role. Shaving her head, weight loss or gain, and all the method things. For example. Not just that. Be it Stanislavski or Meisner. Point is. She has the skills to do just about anything and willing to go there.

[@JamesBrown-gv1vg]

That all depends on how that lawsuit goes, showbiz is starting to open its eyes to that kind of behaviour.

Yeah I just watched X she really carried that movie with a fairly weak plot line and character development she made that movie watchable

[@lisahoshowsky4251]

Me googling her and the first thing I read is that her long time partner is Shia LeBeouf somehow surprised me but also makes a lot of sense😅 I knew her name but never really put it to a face or put her roles together, I really enjoyed this video taking me through part of her career.

I love ALL of the films I’ve seen her in. X, Pearl, Marrowbone, A Cure For Wellness….I love that she’s so fearless yet so sensitive. She synthesises so many astonishing influences and l think she has a very seventies feel to her. I find her very relatable and moving. Don’t know why people don’t like X, it was brilliantly crazy. Great video!

[@PonyStark69]

Your Mia goth impression had me rolling man 😂 as a Brit that accent was so stereotypical hahaha

[@Man_Ray78]

She is just one of a kind actress that we all are falling in love with. When you talked about wanting to save her from the horrors of the world, I can relate, especially when I learned that she and Shea Beowulf, (her co-actor in her first film, Nymphomaniac 2, when she was 19 yo,) have been dating almost ever since 2012. That thought alone gives me a reason to want to hate on her husband. He could potentially ruin her carrier, or that's the vibe I get from him. But yes, Maxxine was shown for the first time here in Iceland Yesterday and I have to see it. Thank you for this channel. I have seen all your videos.

[@ronrendon]

I was first introduced to Mia Goth in the remake of Suspiria and fell head over heals in love with as a horror actress that is extremely talented because she makes you feel like your really watching a real person going through some horrifying shite. A+ horror actress can't wait to see Maxxxine and can't wait to see what she does next. I'm a HUGE FAN.

[@SydalaTristan]

First time watching your content and im so glad i did.

[@AozoraUltra2006]

[@UpsonPrattJr.]

She might be the next Meryl Streep, I don't know. But I see a lot of the same shit in all these clips. She's either crying, yelling, or doing a combination of both. If you think that's academy award worthy, she'll win 'em all.

[@ronga8242]

He’s probably referring to the fact that this channel was dormant for half a decade. We only just started regularly uploading videos back in March.

[@mikeyfrederick1232]

Just got to say I've been browsing through your material all day and you produce some great content sir... I'm digging all the backstories about movies and actors..always interesting.. As for Mia Goth she def breaks that mold of conventional beauty but idk what it is exactly that gives me the feels of her being "troubled" like if I saw her on the street with no reference I would think that.... That was a really cool reference to one of your first acting gigs lol...I was like "oh hey I know his face"... Props to you and the Channel

Antichrist is such a great movie! Can you explain why you’re not a fan of Lars? I understand not all of his movies are hits, but I feel like some are very good.

[@TheBackFocus]

I’d have to think about it. I also need to watch more of his older stuff, I think.

[@Magdalena8008s]

I'm one who doesn't like him either. I can appreciate how contribution to film. I am a massive dogma95 fan. Harmony Korine is one of my favorite people. And without the movement maybe we'd not have Korine. Point is, Lars is just weird. I have an uneasy feeling about him as a person. And I can't bring myself to fully support anything he does. Again, he's a great director. But person. Pass. Ha. And I think this is alot of people's opinion on him. For right or wrong.

[@brunopackardhill3296]

The whole "hitler apologist" thing isn't that endearing imo

[@18shuh]

Lars stretches boundaries too far, his movies are not horror, they are genuinely disturbing, I think he portrays depression the best out of all directors, and it's fcking haunting. but then it feels like in his movies, 90% of the woman's purpose is to have sex, want sex, look for sex, so there is that

[@l.l.storrie3851]

Interesting. Lars von Trier is my favorite director, hands down. But I tend to favor disturbing movies. To each their own!

I detest criticizing professionals, but I find Goth's acting skills embarrassingly poor, to the point where I often cringe hearing her deliver the woeful dialogue she has to contend with.

As long as you're not hating a thing only because black people, women, or gay characters. Those people should be called out. But if you legit don't like a thing for logical reasons. Fair. That's life. It's all subjective. At least you watched and tried. That's more than alot of people who criticize.

[@JosephGeorgeDeka]

I hated X then watched Pearl and loved it. Didn't know they were related. Planning to see Maxxxine this weekend, so rewatched Pearl then X and it made a lot more sense and I actually enjoyed it. Pearl was conceived and written during the making of X and produced immediately after. It wasn't planned that way. Mia Goth wrote a lot of Pearl, which seems to be most people's favorite.
