PEARL | Monologue (2022) Movie CLIP HD

[@WKADESIGNS]

"Life terrifies me! It's harsh and bleak and draining!" That line cuts right through me, I relate so much to that feeling.

[@jonlannister345]

This film is about modern people. They buy into the false promises of the TV, destroy all of their relationships, then get stuck in a home they hate, terrified of life, forcing a fake smile. She's not even unique. Imagine if the response to the monologue had been genuine concern and empathy? It couldn't though, because people who are living their lives behind a fake smile are not capable of helping others like themselves. The majority of people I meet day to day I can tell you, from where I'm standing, all I can see is that end credit scene with Pearl forcing that fake smile. Being angry at God and feeling hard done by is a key. Most Moderns don't even believe God exists but are still angry at him. Pearl needed Jesus, and so do the rest of you people desperately grinning at the world to try hide the internal agonizing despair.

[@michellecazares8000]

She should’ve won an Oscar for this

[@DaCake2]

100%

[@staceyshere]

The fact that the Oscar’s doesn’t acknowledge the horror genre will never sit right with me

[@nightmarishcompositions4536]

​@@staceyshere It makes me sad that horror media and heavy metal music never get the respect they deserve when they are often the best of their kind.

[@Lucian1692]

​@@nightmarishcompositions4536Horror movies can be splendid, complex and multilayered. Metal music is rubbish and a loud piece of shit, with a very narrow and targeted audience; sorry.

[@TheRunnyBabit]

Not at all this was a mediocre film with some good acting but Oscar worthy…just cause you can talk in a camera for 8 minutes with only a couple cuts doesn’t warrant an Oscar. Didn’t show that much range in this movie just played a stagnant character

[@MatthewMcGrane-it5mm]

This is one of the most incredibly acted scene I've ever watched. Mind-blowing. Mia Goth should have won a lot of awards for her astounding performance.

[@alternative_ASMR]

Her acting is phenomenal

[@caitlinjane92]

Agreed. Despite knowing she went crazy and on a killing spree, Pearl still manages to make you feel sympathy for her thanks to Mia's acting.

[@zombiefvckerr]

"i hate what it feels like to be me and not you." like woah ok thats a bit too real

[@autumnwolfe3771]

That must've been a lot to memorize. But she nailed it and i got goosebumps from all of this. Its so easy to hate, fear and feel bad for Pearl all at once.

[@travisfors5926]

As much as love this scene, and she truly did an amazing job, Shes 100% reading the script right there on the table. you can see the tracking in her eyes up and down.

[@TheWickedWizardOfOz1]

Actors memorize long scenes all the time. Have you ever been to a live stage show? That's normal.

[@palla3athene]

@@TheWickedWizardOfOz1 normal but still impressive, like planes flying

[@Bearlyhan]

Pearl’s greatest tragedy, her greatest poem, is that by trying SO hard to get what she wanted she ensured that she never would. If she had waited for the war to end, been grateful for her family, maybe when things had settled down she could have tried again. But by snapping and killing her family, she left no one alive to take care of the farm. She ensured that Howard would keep her tethered there out of fear of her insanity, she forced herself into hiding to avoid her crimes being discovered.

[@JaxBlade]

Just marathoned the trilogy and this scene stuck with me, Mia Goth's acting ability is absolutely immaculate! Every emotion is palpable, shes amazing.

[@jackpackage4278]

How tf do actors memorize this many lines for a single uncut take? That’s always blown my mind. Like how the hell do stage actors remember an entire Shakespeare script?

[@Yuurrix]

Since they only showed her face, and she was facing the table im pretty sure she had a script. Or shes just really talented. Lots and Lots of practise

[@MijailCioran]

Hay pantallas al rededor que sirven de guía.

[@merchantfan]

@mrlsoarezz I mean I would hope not unless she's Marlon Brando. It's a monologue, actors kill for things like this. Memorizing lines is one of the bedrock parts of acting. If you're doing something like a play, you have to know basically the entire play and be able to do it without much rest in between. You can't get past the first audition without being able to memorize a monologue

[@ken__2526]

​@mrlsoarezz She literally wrote the script (particularly Pearl's dialogue) so I think she knows her lines. Also, actors all have to memorise lines. It's a prerequisite of acting. The key is memorising it by yourself, then repeating the scene again and again in rehearsals.

[@justafractionoftime1984]

@@Yuurrixshe apparently was rehearsing the monologue all day and did multiple takes all of the way through. I tend to believe that she didn’t have a script in front of her. Her eyes don’t show her looking through lines. You also don’t hear any shifting of paper. You can hear every shift of her in her chair, every sniffle, gulp…I doubt that it was on paper or else we’d hear the papers shift.

[@RosmertaOfficial]

You know an actor is incredible when they can make your heart bleed for the villain. 😂❤

[@lemqnshark]

u missed the point

[@whitedragoness23]

@@lemqnsharkdespite her horriable actions and sadistic tendencies. Pearl realizes everything she did, blew up in her face and she was wrong the whole time. She then goes back to her sadistic tendencies to keep chasing that dream and yes, she didn’t learn anything. But she doesn’t know how to act any different and that’s the scary thing about her. She will do what ever necessary to get some kind of affection even if it means to kill to keep it.

[@kimd7835]

I mean she's got at least one personality disorder, she's a murderer, and X shows that Howard loving her absolutely is NOT enough and she only does more horrible things from there. But she doesn't want to be this way, she's trapped just not in her circumstances but in her own body and mind and doesn't know how to stop it. I'd say you can acknowledge everything fucked up and still feel awful for her.

[@iMajoraGaming]

​​@@kimd7835 i feel like it actually *might* have been enough. if not for the fact that in spite of how badly it clearly worsened her for him to leave, he did it AGAIN to volunteer for WW2. and there she was. alone again. trapped in her unraveling mind for another 4 years. and the howard that came home was obviously not the howard that she'd just spent the last 20 years with. hence how he ends up just like her. he probably got captured in the pacific and lived through the genuine worst possible thing someone could in that hemisphere, and came home just as broken and unraveled as her. it's evident based on the ending of pearl that it wasn't the trenches that shattered him, mercifully he would've only spent 8 months to a year in them. but the things that happened on those hot and lonely atolls in the pacific are beyond mention. and the victims never came home. what did come home wasn't what had left, one way or another.

[@HectorSegura-zu6id]

The dedication in this scene alone should've won her the oscar. She is amazing.

[@theredbaron8896]

It was this scene right here that made me truly fall in love with this series. It was the reason why the prequel is my favorite out of the three. And this was the moment in my eyes and heart that separates Pearl from every other Slasher Character. Mia Goth killed this scene and it’s one of the few scenes I’ve ever see that lives deep inside the recesses of my my mind and play constantly.

[@DaCake2]

This monologue made me cry.

[@jensoochaelisa6708]

Truth is, I’m not really a good person. The reason I kept my eyes to the ground around other men was never to avoid hurting you. It’s because I understood how lucky I was to have your attention. I may be a poor farm girl, Howard, but I’m not stupid. I spotted you the moment you came to live with us. You worked hard, like the other farm hands, but you were different. You were from somewhere. A nice, comfortable place that you could return to whenever you wanted. I was so desperate to have that. All my life I've wanted off this farm and you were my ticket out. So, I made sure to never let you see who I really was, It worked like a charm too and then when you finally brought me back to your home to meet your family, it was just as I’d hoped. A life straight out of the pictures. At least that’s what it felt like to me. And you didn’t want it. You just wanted to stay here on our farm and that made me so angry. How could you? I’m certain you knew I hated it here, you must’ve. How could you be so selfish and cruel after all I done to make you happy?

Oscar winning performance, not just here but throughout. Horrendously dark. The emotions between absolute horror and sympathy, all of it is right there. Such a surprising and stunning piece of work. The last time I felt like this was Kathy Bates in "Misery" (and she won an Oscar for that)

[@nightmarishcompositions4536]

My favorite part of the movie. Also love the end credits. I couldn't help but laugh looking at her uncanny forced smile at the camera. She's a brilliant horror actress.

[@knowledgeispower5104]

This is more than acting. It’s much more deeper. Only the real can relate

[@AdoreYouInAshXI]

Everyone talking about an Oscar, have you guys seen the people and films that win Oscars? The Oscars are overrated, she's better than them. A lot of actors that have never won an Oscar are better than actual winners, and a lot of films that get snubbed are remembered in the long run much more than some winners.

[@thesilentknight4554]

I didn't see this in the theater but I would have LOVED to have seen this in a packed one and have the dead silence from the audience through this monologue and the ending of it. Just...WOW!!! Mia Goth is phenomenal!

[@philrob1978]

I saw this in the cinema, pretty much full, and I can tell you during this you could hear a pin drop. Absolute silence. What a performance.

[@misanthropicisolation4013]

I remember watching this at a time when my mental state was at a really low point and this scene just completely broke me.

[@evaphillips2102]

This is why social niceness without any real empathy will get you effed up. Mitsy should have just given Pearl a hug. The woman just went on a ten minute monologue about the things she’s done simply because she needs love. Give her a hug and promise to take her to the studio and crash the dance recitals- anything would have been better than “I should go.” I’m not victim blaming, all I’m saying is that Mitsy could have walked out of this the same way she walked into it.

[@kaiyamya9882]

Mitsy just realized that 1) her sweet farmgirl sister-in-law is not at all who she's pretended to be all this time, 2) she deliberately singled out Howard to marry him not out of love but to get what she wanted and 3) she's murdered three people, two of whom were her own family. If I were Mitsy I would be terrified and want to get out of that situation as quickly as possible. Pearl's life is tragic, but she's still a monster. She probably had it in her mind to kill Mitsy the second she saw her in that expensive dress.

[@TheRedMooncorp]

@@kaiyamya9882 I totally get that Mitsy was terrified and it is a natural and healthy instinct to prioritize ones own safety in Mitsy's case and she was of course right to understand that her life was in danger. However for Pearl, all this was not news, it was her for the first time of her life opening up about something that she had kept hidden her entire life and where it had tortured her to have no one to talk to about it. I also think that if her mother had just been benevolent to her and went to talk to her once she realizes she kills animals, rather than deciding for herself that her daughter is a monster which needs to stay caged, most bad things could have likely been prevented. To Pearl this was an incredibly vulnerable moment and it took a lot of trust to open up to Mitsy. I also believed her that she had accepted that Mitsy got the role, if she actually did. From a social perspective without the fear, Pearl would have deserved to be hugged and talked to. And then Pearl likely realized that Mitsy will definitely go to the police after this and thus decided to kill her. Had Mitsy continued in the manner she had showed before her wonderful monologue, she would have likely survived. But again Mitsy's behavior is completely understandable from her perspective.

[@LegionIvory]

Nah, I'm victim blaming. lol You don't listen to a serial killer's tearful confessions and then go, "Oop look at the time!" You're asking for a slashing.

[@JohnJohnerson]

Pearl is only opening up to Mitsy here because she already has envisioned this day for some time. In a sick way this monologue is indulgent to Pearl, as the cathartic heart pouring and tears cried are only cried for herself. Notice in the scene there’s a point she’s not even addressing Mitsy, as if Pearl believes there’s another person, or a whole audience at the table. What she couldn’t convey fully at the audition she conveys to her audience here, unfortunately just a lone Mitsy. Pearl is a psychopath whose whole world revolves around herself, and those that violate this world must be removed, brutally. A hug? Really?

i think its end of method acting in this digital movie era.... really touched by her acting. mia goth even her partner's reacting is really natural. not much not lack ... just react and watch and hear but her emotion is changing

[@jonlannister345]

Some people like this could have been pulled out if they had a genuine friend at any point. Before things go too far there's a lot of opportunity for "Wow that's pretty mental haha, but I understand, lets see if we can figure it out together" but generally most people are living like Pearl in the end credits and are totally incapable of dealing with another's problems, since they are forcing a smile through terror and a total refusal to acknowledge reality. That's something people often miss... I see Pearl's end credit smile every single day on the faces of ordinary Moderns. The situation is bad, you make it worse to try escape, then realise death is the only escape, then you plaster on that false smile and never let it go. I meet you every day, and I see behind that smile.
