Pearl’s smile at the end makes me so uncomfortable. She’s smiling, but she’s saying “This is my life now. I have to live this life and be happy about it.”

After seeing Pearl I went back and 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. Also that crocodile eating Pearl's victims, made so much more sense to me as to why Pearl was watching the crocodile eat that blonde in X, and the way she said she never liked blondes.

I'm really curious about Howard's conversion into a complicit murderer for a woman who not only cheated on him while he was away at war, but also killed not only her own parents, but his sister as well. I wonder if a "Howard" movie would work. I would imagine that he must have some fundamental issues with him as well for him to have found her appealing enough to marry in the first place, and I would guess that his time in the war didn't help, either.

[@ceciliap5336]

right??? and like clearly he ended up fine with it, because hes still with pearl in X and actually kills with pearl! a howard movie would be extremely interesting, or another movie of the timeline between "pearl" and "X", we'll probably never get them but would love to see what would happen

The Projectionist was definitely real, she pushes his car into the lake and then in X you see the car still in the water right before Howard shoots that one guy.

[@emptyingmyballsinyomommymouth]

No. She got it

[@CurtyTails]

Honestly that’s what I thought-I thought her putting on a smile and “admitting” to getting the role was her just telling Pearl what she wanted to hear rather than what was the truth-and especially with the fact that the Projectionist lied and lied hoping to get out of the situation-I thought she was just doing the same-trying to tell her what she thinks Pearl would want to hear to get out of the situation.

[@jennieifanis8917]

I don’t see how it could be any different honestly. She immediately tried to correct Pearl when she congratulated her, but slowly went with Pearl’s idea because she knew it was meaningless to keep trying to convince her of the reality.

[@amazontiger1568]

I'm pretty sure she did. After watching it a second time when they were waiting in line for the audition, I noticed she was the only blond girl in line. And when they denied pearl, they said they were looking for someone all american and more blond

[@maqaeda]

I don’t think Mitzy got the part because she didn’t even audition. As far as I can tell she immediately left the line to comfort Pearl and she forfeited her chance to audition at all. And she was genuinely taken aback by Pearl insisting she won, but she had to lie to placate her.

[@Goldflower220]

she seemed like a genuinely good friend/sister-in-law who cared about pearl. sad about her death :/

[@ha_lequin]

there could be a chance that a lot of pearl's manic episodes were caused by psychosis- which was a known symptom of the spanish flu. it's obvious pearl wasn't that careful about quarantine, and considering her father used to have the flu, there's a chance she caught it as well. her issue with separating fantasy from reality would make a lot more sense considering that psychosis causes a break in external reality,.

Mia goth is extremely underated. They were no Scary effects or Jumpscares, just her face in the end credits while the music slowly shifts was Amazing and Terrifying

[@UnboxingAlyss]

I initially thought they were looping her smile at the beginning of the credits. I can't believe she held it for do long. It one of the scariest thing I've seen in a horror movie and horror is my favorite genre.

[@mad8598]

FYI a “Dear John letter” isn’t a letter home from a soldier, it’s a break up letter and the “John” is usually the recipient. Called such both because of John being a common slang term for a soldier and also because the idea is that when he opens it and it starts with that rather than “My darling Johnny” or whatever his name is he knows it’s probably bad news about the relationship. 😬

[@isaidshotgun]

Yeah Foundflix always gets mortified wrong (he uses it as a synonym of terrified, that is not what it means lol) so I was not surprised he also doesn't know what a Dear John letter means

[@bearnaff9387]

FWIW, the film he projectionist had was a "stag film", not a "snuff film". A stag film was usually explicit sex, but could have just featured nudity and non-explicit sex. A snuff film, technically, is a film where a real death or murder is committed specifically to be filmed, rather than incidentally or in order to terrorize the audience. However, the term is commonly used to describe any video where explicit and real violence or death is captured.

[@donkrouskop4753]

You honestly can't expect much from any channel that takes 33 minutes to "explain" the ending of a 103-minute movie. Indeed, I'm at a loss as to why anyone who has seen the movie would need it explained in the first place. Especially since the film's title character is very clear about who she is and what she wants, to the point of delivering a 6-minute monologue about it before the climax. I suppose "Listen to me pontificate at length about PEARL!" wouldn't be as compelling a title for this video.

Honestly just felt so sorry for Pearl, prior to her descent to madness of course, but I did kind of wish that things could have ended differently for her.

[@craigraboteau7024]

I think that she was always "mad".... she's a psychopath. That's what's frightening about her. Yes, her upbringing wasn't pleasant, but she was a bomb waiting to go off. Even if her upbringing was idyllic, she would probably have still ended up a murderer. She's a crazy person, plain and simple

@@MM.64 What? I never said I found her the victim. If anything, she was mentally unstable and clearly needed help, but did not get it. Obviously it does not excuse her actions in the prequel or X, which I had said. If you were reading, I said I felt kind of bad for her *prior* to her descent to madness. I acknowledge that she is a remorseless killer and nymphomaniac.

[@original-australian_OG]

"X" was another example of a movie and trailer being universes apart. Trailer was brilliant and haunting, movie was really good, except for the goofy killers, and their goofy reasons. "Pearl" was brilliant, trailer and movie are aligned. "Pearl" outshone "X". Can't wait for the 3rd film. PS- 1. Mad respect to the woman who played the mother. Ruthlessly perfect ! 2. Great theory about the projectionist. I never thought of that. 3. Mia's monologue is flawless and raw. 4. Once Mitsy realized what happened (after the epic speech), and begins to slowly back away. And Pearl begins to stalk her prey. That was my ultimate favorite sequence in the whole film.

[@rickhunter3930]

Having not seen X yet, I feel the need to clarify that the adult film that the projectionist shows Pearl is not a "snuff" film - it is a "stag" film or a "blue" film. A snuff film is an illegal filming of a murder. From what I could tell, no one in the "stag" film got murdered.

Murder and general disregard for human life, Pearls biggest issue was she was unwilling to make the most of what she had; Pearl was not wrong for having dreams but she let it blind her to the point where she saw nothing beyond her dreams

[@Boggsy.]

I think you might have used “Snuff” in place of “Smut” a couple of times. Though I think Pearl would have liked either one, and both movies blur those lines😅.

[@maybeyourbaby6486]

Yeah I didn't know the difference either, until I watched a (heavily censored) "A Serbian Film Ending Explained" a few months ago. It's a uh very important distinction to make 😧

[@TheDRexor]

I knew I wasn't crazy, I was like how did he get a snuff film?!

[@oliviaenglund]

Yeah I noticed that too! A snuff film is something way darker than a smut film 🫣

[@barbiquearea]

I think Pearl crushing the alligator egg signifies that Pearl isn't capable of being nurturing, and from the way she took care of her father, she is a danger to anyone she is given responsibility over, and will not hesitate to murder them if she feels they are becoming too much of a burden on her. She even admitted to "Howard" (actually Mitsy) that she was happy when she miscarried their child because she could not bear the idea of creating new life from herself and then being forced to care for that life given her murderous tendencies. This may explain why after six decades after Pearl takes place, she and Howard never had any children that we know of. Its likely that Pearl's carelessness, compounded by her fragile and unstable mental state made her an unfit mother, which turned out to be lethal for any children she and Howard may of had.

[@sadfishboy7003]

I think another reason that supports the projectionist not being real theory is his lack of reaction when pearl pulled out the pitchfork, he just stood there and didn't try to fight back

[@FLdancer00]

Also that "as long as I don't wake up" line.

[@Jay.Rod23]

For such a low budget movie I was blown away by how great it was. From the great story telling and build up leading to Pearl commiting the murders, to Mia Goths great performance( honestly deserved Oscar consideration) and the terrifying ending just amazing. I'd give it a 10/10. I can't wait for MaXXine to come out!

[@jacquelineaguilera6271]

can we also talk about just how historically accurate this can be? woman really tried to live out their dreams during war time but had to take care of their families or work. some women felt so lonely waiting on their husbands and dealing with the pressure of keeping a household together that they went into psychosis. now i don’t really know if it drove people to murder, which i wouldn’t doubt, but im sure if some people weren’t mentally stable they might have. it kind gives a shutter island vibe but the X series is far more darker. also the scene of rejection “please ima star” heartbreaking.

So just to clarify, "snuff film" does not mean "porn film". Snuff is probably the most awful thing you can capture on film. It's literally murder, as in "snuffing the life out of someone". I don't wanna be that guy, but porn is DEFINITELY not the same thing.

Great recap... As always. That said, I don't think that the protectionist was imaginary. I mean... She had to dump his car. I think that she was just so unhinged and self-absorbed that his name was of little importance to her. He was simply a ticket to Europe, a distraction from her deployed soldier's wife/farmer's daughter life, and he fed her ego with attention and affirmations. I think that, in a way, it served as a subtle nod to just how wrapped up in herself & her wants/fantasies she is and a nod to that "something" that most have, but she's missing.

I honestly thought Pearl was a reference to Pearl from the scarlet letter. And I still kinda hope she is. A strange girl in red who isn’t quite right and doesn’t fit in with the town around her.

Only difference in SL Pearl became normal and was a bratty 4-8 year old

Soldiers don’t write “Dear John” letters. It’s a particular sort of letter that would be written to a soldier from their significant other at home. The contents of the letter would be the woman stating that she was ending the relationship. Dear John letters are break up letters written by a soldier’s lover, not just a generic correspondence sent to and from families and friends.

I’ve never clicked on a KZbin video so fast before but I’ve literally been waiting for this since the day I saw Pearl

[@poonhandler86]

Somebody should explain to the narrarator what a dear John letter is

[@drmonroej4]

This is one of those rare cases where the sequel is not only as good as, if not better than the first, but can also be viewed on its own. Yes watching X first helps a bit, it’s not completely necessary to view both.

[@sam_9228]

This was a masterpiece of a movie

[@Just.Seraph]

You should check out "Where the crawdads sing"

[@Andrea-rw9tf]

Love your channel, you’ve piqued my interest…I’ll watch the movie and come back!

[@trstew5]

Solid movie, absolutely hated Pearl with every fiber of my being, so self centered and wrapped up in being a star she shows no remorse for taking lives of the innocent, really got what she deserved in the end

[@SnarkierThan-U-R]

??First you write that it's a good movie only to immediately contradict yourself by writing that yo absolutely hated Pearl, the ending to the movie Pearl was just explained.

[@UnboxingAlyss]

@@SnarkierThan-U-R They loved the movie (Pearl), but hates the character (Pearl).

[@SaturnFrost]

The Mitsy dismemberment looked so real and caught me off guard. 🤢

[@ashleynichollee]

Can you do an ending explained on Don’t Worry Darling (:

[@tjm11015]

4:20 They're not dear John letters, dear John letters are letters sent to terminate a relationship. They are mostly letters from women to service men. But those letters were love letters. 10:55 and it's not a snuff film, a snuff film, is murder, a better word would be smut film.

[@aSinisterKiid]

I dunno about that. The guy in the film could have been really good at his job and murdered that pussy, so it would be a smutty snuff film hahahahaha

[@Beanspod8]

I always get excited seeing new uploads

[@zCREz]

I dont know why but sometimes i find these videos significantly more entertaining than the movie itself...

[@Sharklops]

haven't seen this but was confused by one thing. the movie the projectionist showed her.. was it really a snuff film like he said? or was it a stag film/porno?

[@PastelOddity]

I had this question too. I THINK he misspoke lmao

[@Hollyweeds]

@@PastelOddity yeah they watch a porn/stag film not a snuff film. Maybe he meant smut film.

[@mshaddds8013]

Not a snuff film 😆

[@aSinisterKiid]

It could have been both. If the porn star was really good at his job and he murdered that pussy. heh heh heh amirite ?

[@CinoG2G]

Howard was so broken from the war he found peace her that last smile 😂😂😂

[@oliviaenglund]

This must be Mia Goths best performance yet, that end scene shot was freaking brilliant! Loved how we got to see Pearl’s origins and her life on the farm before X. Interesting to see what road Maxine will take, if she’ll become a crazy serial killer like Pearl!

[@2phonebabymo]

that smile at the end is creeeeeepy

[@ItsEricted]

"Whole Movie Explained" is more fitting for the title...

[@shawnbrown9419]

I couldn't help 😢but to feel the same way I felt when I saw Joker 10 minutes into joker the part when he couldn't stop Laughing other people probably wanted to laugh with him but all I can see was the Pain And serious for pearl it was the part After the Audition when she dance Is her heart out and he said no

[@stevenbailey]

Pearl wearing the hat and dress on her bike had to be another nod to the Wizard of Oz right?

[@Tdub0911]

With the mom, it seemed to me that she knew Pearl was evil and that's why she kept her at the farm. I know Pearl came back when her fiance left but I just got the feeling the mom knew/sensed something. That movie was crazy and now i'm going to watch X. Wrong order.......?

[@jollyskull07]

YESS BEEN WAITING FOR THISD

[@stephenmoney4722]

Had to rent this after hearing you talk about this. Excellent movie.

[@stefanoraz27]

Mitsy is such a dear

[@danielruiz3853]

been waiting for this one... of course it was a banger. thank you FF

[@tamaracherry3580]

Hey youre probably already aware, but you used "Dear John" incorrectly - almost the opposite meaning

[@viviannoah8039]

Yeah a dear John letter is when a woman would break up with a man over letter

[@thatcomicandmangafanfromdublin]

I can relate to Pearl we’re both trapped in a house

[@jimmyneutron4632]

Mitsy seriously should have been able to successfully make it out alive.

[@adeaoud3404]

ITS FINALLY HERE!!!! IVE BEEN WAITING

[@sexualtaco308]

So excited for this one, it looked super good

[@Minefox25773]

Wake up babe, new foundflix just dropped
