The whole murder thing aside, what a realistic portrayal of dreaming beyond your horizons. Most people are just like Pearl: poor, hardworking, from small places in the middle of nowhere, with nothing but aspirations on their side. The difference is that she represents a dreamer, a bird wanting to fly. But reality clips her wings fast: her mother has absolute no intention of letting her live her own life, she is too old, too poor to support herself on her own and the only opportunity she has to succeed is the one time when all her fears get flashed out: she’s deemed too old, not pretty enough, not blonde enough and not mesmerizing. Her only hope becomes her biggest trauma: an external confirmation of all her fears. Beautiful and terrifying portrayal of failure, and what happens when you take away somebody’s only fuel: their dreams.

Of all the monologues I've seen, Pearl's monologue is not only relatable and depressing but it's a deep inside look on how Pearl feels. When I saw this in the theater, I cried because I genuinely feel sorry for her and the whole time I kept thinking "where is Mia Goth's Oscar?". But the thing about Pearl is that it would be easy to write her off as another female serial killer, but we can't. She is a person who has dreams of wanting to be something more and lost it all. She's a character who feels trapped by the farm, her parents and her husband, hence why you see the bird in a cage a couple times in some scenes as a representation of how she feels. She even looks at the world through the lens of an old Hollywood movie, which explains how colorful the scenes look. But as soon as we get to THIS monologue, we finally get to see her true self and her feelings. Even though she has murdered people, she's a person who longs for freedom, love and acceptance. I think she really tapped into what everyone feels, that all we want is to be loved.

[@bunnywavyxx9524]

This is so upsetting. She just wanted love and attention, and the ideal American dream for a woman. I like how she's not like other female serial killers with just rage and little depth. She's aware of how she's not like other people, and expresses sorrow, anger, insecurity, and loneliness here, and that longing for dream and comfort.

this is why i love prequels. the tragedy of knowing exactly how she ends up, despite wanting her to succeed and get off the farm. you already know where she is in 60 years.

[@PrincessButterflySadie]

I cried when she killed her father. He didn't deserve to suffer. He was only one between her parents who never hurt his daughter. I can't imagine what was going in his mind. He couldn't no longer walk, talk, or no longer telling his daughter, "I love you". His daughter became mental ill, his own wife threatening him with knife during a family argument, he watched in horror his own daughter accidentally killing his wife/Pearl's mom. He was left alone along in the house all night until the morning. He witnessed his daughter murdered a man, he was paralyzed with fear, he knew was next. He can't fight back or tell his daughter to stop.

[@CodeCube-rv1rm]

I remember the scene where she asks him "are you in there?" and we're left wondering for a bit about the answer to that question, but as the film goes on we can see, he's in there. He's all in there. He's totally aware of what's going on and is utterly powerless and terrified by her. It was really quality acting.

What makes it so tragic is that she in the end wasted her life at the farm. That audition was her last chance to escape, but unfortunately she was hit with the cold reality of never being Good enough. She lost everything and had nothing to show for it and it rotted her life away. Granted she wasn’t exactly a good person either, but given the context of how she felt trapped you can see how she was dealt with a bad hand since the day she was born.

[@blue3374]

She gave up so easily on it too. Instead of being upset over it and then trying again anyway at another audition or opportunity, she became devastated, completely gave up after the first try, and just resigned herself to living on the farm lmao.

She’s much more of a sociopath than a psychopath. She’s clearly still capable of feeling remorse, regret, and some form of connection. Something psychopaths are not really capable of. Psychopaths are born and sociopaths are made. The way she was raised can definitely mold her into a sociopath.

[@Bbyboy777]

Agreed. She’s not just a one dimensional villain who’s gone crazy for no good reason, but probably the most realistic depiction I’ve seen of a person who’s just become so tired and overwhelmed with having such a bad life, that she takes it out on others.

This film is a dark kind of therapy. I confronted the most desperate, psychopathic shadow in myself as a woman through Pearl. The mother taking out her pain on the daughter that women live alone with, the isolation of modern life, the fear of a man's abandonment, jealousy of other women, the terror of a life of poverty and the desire for escape through fame and status as though it will mean we never feel invisible again. It's the discrepancy between who we present and how we really feel. The knowing that we aren't a good person in our deepest thoughts but need others to believe we are. In many ways a feminist exploration shattering the myth of the helpless and pure female, through the hyperbole of aggression around scenarios women universally face. It lifts the lid on the taboo of female rage.

Pearl's Monologue: Howard... I hate you so much for leaving me here, sometimes I hope you die. I'm sorry. I feel awful admitting that, but it's the truth. I was curious about other men. I'm sure you don't want to hear about a stranger satisfying your wife, and I swear it was only once. It was a mistake. It wasn't him that I wanted. I know that now. And I wish things could just go back to the way they were before, but I don't see how they could, not after the things I've done. Oh, Howard. I realize how this all must sound. Honestly, there was a time I was flattered to have someone as handsome as you pine over me. You're such a good person. I know that. I made sure to always be mindful with your heart. I never wanted you to feel jealous. It's an awful feeling like a rot, the way it just twists and turns at your insides. I know that aching so well. I feel it. Whenever I see others whose lives come easy because the 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 farmhands, but you were different. You're from somewhere. A nice, comfortable place that you could return to whenever you wanted. I'm 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. Then when you finally brought me back to your home to meet your family, it was just as I 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, you must've. How could you be so selfish and cruel after all I've done to make you happy? I was even pregnant with your baby. I never wanted to be a mother. I loathed the feeling of it growing inside me. It felt like sickness. Pulling and sucking on me like some needy animal in a barn. How could I be responsible for another life? Life terrifies me. It's harsh, and bleak, and draining. I was so relieved when it died. It was one less weight keeping me trapped here, but then the war came and you left me, too. Why did you leave me, Howard? I hate feeling like this. So pathetic. Do people like you ever feel this way? I figure you don't. You seem so perfect all the time. Lord must've been generous to you. He never answers any of my prayers. I don't know why. What did I do? What is wrong with me? Please, just tell me so maybe I can get better. I don't want to end up like Mama. I want to be dancing up on the screen like the pretty gals in the pictures. I want what they have so badly, to be perfect, to be loved from as many people as possible to make up for all my time spent suffering. Sometimes I wake in the middle of the night and the fear washes over me, 'cause what if this is it? What if this is right where I belong? I'm a failure. I'm not pretty or naturally pleasant, or friendly. I'm not smart, or funny, or confident. I'm exactly what Mama said I was, weak. I don't know why. What did I do? Why wasn't my family like yours? I hate what it feels like to be me and not you. I'm so scared that when you finally come home, you'll see me and be frightened like everyone else is. I know what I've done, the bad things, terrible, awful, murderous things. I regret them now, but I liked how they felt. I wish I didn't, but I did. At first, it was only animals smaller than myself. Nothing with feelings. Nothing that could hurt me back. It felt good. Killing's easier than you think, till recently with Mama and the boy from the picture house. They were different. They were more meaningful. I hurt them so they too might know what it feels like to suffer, but poor Daddy didn't deserve that. I wish I hadn't done what I did. Mama meant well. She had a hard life. She only wanted a home to feel safe in. I can see that. I thought I hated her, but I just want to feel safe, too. Lord... I made such a mess of things. I don't know how much more I can take. I need to clean this up. All of it. I need to make things right before you see me again. Maybe if I can turn this farm into a home for us like you wanted, things will finally be different. I can forgive. I can be who you want me to be if you'll just stay with me. Would you do that, please? I can't be all by myself anymore. It's too hard. We can love each other. I'll do that for you if you really meant all that "till death do us part." It'd be enough, just you and me here on this farm. All I really want is to be loved. I'm having such a hard time without it lately.

what is bpd about her?

[@martinenyx-filmstuff305]

@@panfilolivia Intense fear of abandonment is one of the major symptoms of BPD. She feels immensely hurt by the fact that her husband “abandoned” her to go to the war, to the point that she’s unable to realize that he objectively had no choice. She sees the situation through the lens of “black and white thinking”: “He abandoned me” = he doesn’t care about me / he’s a horrible person / he intentionally wanted to hurt me, etc. And she’s reacting to this intense emotional pain by “splitting”, meaning that, as a defense mechanism against the pain of the situation, she chooses to hate her husband instead of trying to understand his reasons (“I hate you for leaving me here”). She also reacts with inappropriate anger that shows that she’s unable to regulate her emotion (“and sometimes I wish you’d die”), as she has done multiple times throughout the film. Emotional “crises” followed by hysterical crying are also a common symptom of BPD. And if you’re wondering how I know all of this so well, it’s because I have it 😅

[@me-zb7qm]

5:12-5:26 sums up perfectly how i feel about myself most of the time. i see beautiful people with beautiful personalities everywhere i go. i simply don't have whatever it is that they have. if i get murdered, people wouldn't describe me as "lighting up a room" or "sunshine". they would probably say "yeah she was a quiet girl" and that's it

Mia Goth's monologue in this scene was so impactful.

[@Nina-wf3cj]

Not gonna lie, i literally understand her sorrow and urge to escape the place where she lives otherwise she will just watch her days passing without any spark of excitement in her life with the fear that she will end up forever trapped with her family. I strongly believe that when you have children and you love them, you should let them go and see the world so they would discover themselves for a while at least.

I wish I was good enough for the things and people I want. I try so fucking hard everywhere but at the end of each day I had nowhere to go. I guess the bare minimum of everyone's lives is the most of a life that I can reach. I wish my special people loved me and did not make me so fucking lonely.

[@ajromero3692]

For a film to be able to make you feel sympathy for a character like Pearl (a severely unstable, sociopathic, violent serial killer) not only does the writing have to be spectacular but so does the actor/actress portraying the character. Both Ti West and Mia Goth co-wrote the screenplay for this film and it is an absolute masterclass in character study. Along with that though, you have Mia's absolutely incredible performance. In a perfect world, Mia Goth would've been nominated for a best actress Oscar; unfortunately, the Academy's bias against horror saw that would never happen. However, I don't think Mia Goth needs any institutional validation for her talent, it more than speaks for itself. You can just tell she poured her heart and soul into this character, feeling every emotion in its purest form and translated that to her actions and dialogue. Something that makes Pearl sympathetic is her relatability. Sure, maybe we don't want to become a star or a big celebrity like she does (I know I don't) but we all want to be loved for who we are, be given some sort of compensation for our pain, sacrifices, and hard work, to just be seen. We all have that crushing fear that our current station in life is all we'll ever amount to and that we have nothing more that we could possibly hope for. To hear all this so earnestly is just devastating in the best way possible. I truly think Mia Goth is one of the most talented actresses working today; I can't wait to see what she does in the coming years.

[@bluerosemaiden5945]

I feel sorry for Howard the most even though he was barley in the film. Pearl only stayed with him out of guilt and believing he was the best she was ever going to have.

[@fleabaguette9699]

I see so much of myself in Pearl that it scares me. I had big dreams just like her once. And I tried and tried and worked hard and auditioned and tried again. For a long time. But I was just never good enough. And now that I'm in my thirties, living a life that I dont want and drowning in depression, I too wake up in the middle of the night, scared that this is it, it's never going to get any better. It's an awful, heavy, sad way to live. To cry and pray and fight for what you would literally give everything for, just to be smacked in the face with the reality that you were and never will be good enough. :(

I empathize with Pearl. I want to be more and venture more, I understand my family and how human they are, I want to go out and be an artist, and my mom said she would take care of our dog. Dad is on a trip and I wish he was home and truth it I want to be loved as well and I get loved by my family and friends. I listen to Pearl and hauntingly I hear myself talking I know I would never kill my loved ones but I always fear I would do something I would not want to. I have autism and I can't understand certain things, I want to inspire a generation to create and draw and make their own epic stories like Stan Lee. Watching this I feel bad for Peal despite the evil she did in this and X. Deep down we're all just humans wanting to be loved and follow our dreams. I'm scared that I won't be the man my father believes I can be.

Watching this scene...this movie in an empty, dark theater was a surreal experience to say the least. This film, and EEAAO were some of the only times I had no idea what to expect out of a film going in.

There's no reason I should've been the only soul in that theater that night. No reason at all.

[@WoahThereNow]

[@Livviegirlie]

Mia should have gotten an Oscar for her performance in Pearl. Horror should be respected in award ceremonies just as much as drama and thrillers

[@TheDarkEmperor-CaerOdor]

This scene alone hits me on so many different levels. Pearl is obviously searching for that most human of all desires: to be loved and to be seen as a person by those around you. I know that her actions are unforgivable and unbelievably disturbed but when taking into account everything she went through and the rejections she received from those around her, her mother, the judges at the audition and the projectionist, it isn't hard to see why she broke down mentally. I understand her confession about the guilt she carries from having accidentally murdered her mother, but a woman like that should never have put down her daughter at every chance she got just because she didn't get the life she wanted. There's a very real difference between preparing your child for the real world and just shitting on them because of your personal anger and dissatisfaction, that''s just abject cruelty.
