[@odetogordon]

I noticed that too!

[@tdannemaria]

I wonder if Howard ever found out that she killed his sister...

[@odetogordon]

@@tdannemaria I'm sure he eventually did. The "you know I don't like blondes" like sort of hints that as well if you ask me. But, I wonder if he was just too scared to ever stand up to her. I also wonder how Howard's parents reacted to their daughter going missing. I guess it's just one of those things if you overthink it ruins the experience. Or X-perience haha.

[@tdannemaria]

The thing that makes Pearl’s monologue so profound yet terrifying is how relatable it is. Her feelings of anger, regret, insecurity and loneliness are somethings almost everyone’s faced, and Pearl’s dreams and longing being challenged by reality just ground it even more. I found myself almost tearing up at her monologue because I saw parts of myself in her, even though she’s done extremely violent things. It gave me chills! This movie is so masterfully done.

[@tash4270]

Yes!! I felt that way too.

[@Ravenz91]

Exactly. I really felt for her, and it was pretty relatable at times.

[@zaneplatt3533]

I felt nothing for her. She is essentially just a dime a dozen, fame obsessed loser. Her monologue is 8 minutes of self-pity

[@onyxshimmer]

I know it's such a small detail that doesn't matter but Pearl actually DID tell the projectionist that she was married since he asks her a question about her having a husband and she tells him he's overseas. And he also asks for her name after that by prompting her for her last name with "Mrs....?" and she just answers back with "Pearl"

[@starbird3939]

I feel so bad for Mitzy. She was a nice girl whose only “crime” was getting the part.

[@brandonwright9450]

@@starbird3939i don’t think she even got the part judging by her initial reaction and answer. I think she just agreed because she was scared and just wanted to get out of there

[@happylands8712]

What I like about this movie is that while all the deaths in X were foreshadowed in lines of dialogue, the deaths in pearl represent what they feel like to her. Ruth keep pushing her until things finally Boiled over Her dad always felt like he was smothering her with responsibilities The projectionist broke her heart And Mimzy stabbed her in the back by getting the dancing gig Might be a bit of overreaching but I thought it was a nice touch

[@happylands8712]

[@vncexrs]

@@SpagooterAB Yeah, but i'm with James on this one. We actually believe that she didn't get the dancing gig. I mean you can tell if a character is lying or not, she obviously wasn't lying. She doesn't have any reason to lie because even if she doesn't get the gig, she's well off. She's rich. That's why she wasn't as devastated as the other girls who cried when they didn't get the part.

Then her husband got seriously sick and as she said, she had to be his mother/carer rather than his wife. Then her daughter is always dreaming about being a star and so on, when on top of everything there is a pandemic and a world war, where the enemy is Germany. Then the cherry on top of that horrible sundae, the mother knows that Pearl is not alright.

[@4disndat2unme]

I feel like the farm works as a prison that Pearl was condemned to for her actions. With Howard serving as both her warden and also her enabler. The fact that she never leaves even after 60 years either essentially no friends or family aside from her husband, really highlights that fact.

[@Replicaate]

I personally have it that Howard had as much of a taste for blood and cruelty as Pearl did, but since he was an early 20th century soldier he was able to hide it for longer. He was probably just surprised to learn Pearl was like that too.

[@unknown_limes]

That long monologue was truly chilling. I was on edge the entire time, just waiting for it to flip back around to show Mitzy. The fact that it's a still shot on Pearl shows her mindset, I think. She's not thinking about Mitzy, or Howard, or really anyone but herself. It sticks to your ribs long after the movie ends. I love it so dearly.

[@aliasfakename3159]

It's amazing how much this movie is an adaptation of the Wizard of Oz without actually being that on purpose. Mitsi is the cowardly lion(wears fur), her dad is the tin man(is basically rusted from is disease) and Pearl is both Dorothy and the Wicked Witch. It's like Dorothy never got blown away as a child so she grew up to learn the hard way that "there's no place like home."

[@odetogordon]

One of my favorite parts of this movie is how you feel sorry for Pearl despite her being murderous. It almost makes you want her to be able to leave, even if you don't condone her murderous behavior. It made me feel sorry for her in a way "X" did not. I also like how Mitzy was portrayed as friendly towards Pearl. Rather than being a stereotypical rich girl who looks down on Pearl for being less fortunate, Mitzy is nothing but kind and endearing to Pearl, even offering to listen to her at the end when Pearl delivers her monologue.

[@jadepinkston1616]

this is not only one of my favorite horror movies, but one of my favorite movies in general! I really like the theory that Pearl’s father had contracted syphilis,a sexually transmitted disease, which not only ties back into the sexual themes but also as a reason why Pearl’s mother seems to resent him. i cannot wait for Maxxine!!

Wait! It's 1918 and Pearl goes to a talky? That poor bastard. Imagine going off to the worst war in human history and the only thing that keeps you going is the thought that your family is safe back home. And when you finally return and you think it's all over you walk into your home to find your in-laws rotting from injuries that remind you of the trenches and your wife smiling and acting like nothing's wrong.

[@davidhill2020]

20:20 I'll bet there was some inspiration from the last shot of The Graduate, when Mike Nichols was too busy to shoot what was basically just pointing the camera at Katharine Ross and Dustin Hoffman at the back of bus, so he had somebody else do it and told them, "just say cut". The guy forgot to do it, which is why it's a long lingering take instead of a freeze frame, but the show of them looking so happy in the beginning is tough to hold for a long time and those smiles start to fade, leading to one of the most iconic shots in Hollywood history.

Ok

[@twindrill2852]

What's especially harrowing is that even though Howard is clearly shown to be horrified by what Pearl's done, they've still somehow stuck together as a couple by the events of "X", which take place decades later. Did Pearl blackmail him into keeping what happened a secret between them? Did Howard already know that there would be no use in trying to bring her to justice? Imagine how long he had to live with her knowing the shit she pulled.

The dialogue that Pearl has at the end of the movie was genuinely amazing, but also insanely uncomfortable because of how it stuck on Pearl’s face for the entire duration. Which was also probably the point so, yeah.

My grandfather was born in Danzig in 1889 and the family moved to America in 1890. He would later go on to work as a farm manager in the area they lived, thankfully that's where the similarities end. But still, this movie had an extra fascination to me to get a glimpse of what his life was like. He died when my mom was 4 so she didn't have stories to tell me about him. All I know is what I can find in historical records, what he did for work, and that he was an artist.

So excited for Maxxxine, Ty has made something incredible with X and Pearl

[@krynamo]

Ti West is such an amazing director both Pearl and X were amazing movies I love how Pearl has so many similarties to Carrie I am really excited to see Maxxxine because Mia Goth is such an incredible actress and very talented I loved that 8 minute speech monologue and the way she held her smile for 5 minutes straight the "I'm a star" is such an Iconic line and I am really happy that these movies were created

Loooooove this movie- it feels like a classic.. and it’s so cool that they had Mia goth write pearls backstory… she is incredible

Fun fact: Crocodiles and Alligators can live up to 70+ years. So there’s a chance that the gator in X is the same one from Pearl.

I didn't even know David Corenswet was in this until I saw the KC trailer. I'm happy that James mentioned David's upcoming role as Superman.

Pearl is one of the best horror movies I've ever seen, the monologue at the end is absolutely haunting.

How is this man not a billionaire he has had a sponsor for every single kill count since 2022

[@roxassora2706]

He may not want to flaunt his wealth.

Because he pays his employees.
