fascinating thing about sinners is how absolutely doomed the narrative is.

like okay if sammie hadn't gone to the juke joint, remmick probably wouldn't have shown up. but then the klan would have. okay smoke took those assholes out solo, if it was him and stack maybe they could have handled it. well the juke joint would have shut down in a month because no one had any real fucking money because of the sharecropping scrip. not to mention two seperate mobs are on their way to fuck the twins up (what do you MEAN you robbed al capone??). okay maybe they covered their tracks, well they're still in the fucking jim crow south and stack and mary have a cool 35 years until loving v virginia so best case scenario is he's broke and watching the love of his life from afar until he's 70. plus annie implied the twins were on borrowed time anyway since she'd been quietly protecting them the whole time they were gone.

idk it both adds to the horror that there was no way out and just solidifies sammie saying it was the best day of his life, like that one little perfect moment was all they were going to get anyway

"One day you'll never see me again." PEARL 2022 | dir. Ti West

[lyledebeast]

Now that I’ve had time to reflect on it, the thing that’s resonated with me most about Pearl is the tragedy of the mother and daughter relationship.  It seems impossible that both of them, but Pearl especially, can be so sympathetic and yet so terrifying at the same time, and it’s mostly down to Mia Goth and Tandi Wright’s incredible performances.  But at the same time, the writing is very nuanced.  The stand-out moment for me is near the end when Pearl wraps her now dead mother’s arms around her and imagines her still alive.  “Ich liebe dich,” her mother says, and Pearl repeats it.  This is the only time Pearl speaks German.  Even though her mother berates her in German frequently, Pearl only replies in English.

I’m not sure what to make of that.  Life has been made very hard for both of them by forces outside their control, and they take their frustration out on those who have less power than themselves (the mother on Pearl and Pearl on the farm animals) because there is no one else there to bear the brunt of it.  And yet they have a strong desire for connection with each other that is thwarted by their own cruelty, resulting in misery for everyone!

It reminds me a bit of the mother and daughter relationship in The Vvitch (2015).  Obviously, the two are different in that Thomasin has not actually done any of the things Katherine accuses her of while Pearl’s mother has apparently been watching her butcher their livestock and feed them to the alligator for some time.  But, the family being isolated from other people.  The mother being so hard on the daughter because she’s the only person over whom she has power who is able to stand up to the pressure of so much responsibility (until she isn’t!). The daughter wanting affirmation and affection from her mother that is never forthcoming.  Definitely food for thought!
