The Projectionist tells Pearl that adult films are going to revolutionize cinema, the same thing Wayne tells the crew in X. Pearl hates blondes because the audition judges were looking for a blonde girl after accumulating too many brunettes in the dance troupe.
In reply, Pearl tells her husband, "You know I don't like blondes." In "Pearl," we see the reason for Pearl's distaste for blondes. Pearl is rejected at her audition for her physical appearance, as the casting agents tell her that they want someone younger and blonde.
By the time X begins 60 years later, Pearl has grown old and ugly and covets the film crew's beauty, killing them out of jealousy as they remind her of her lost youth and potential. Pearl takes a special interest in Maxine, though, as she sees a lot of her former self in her.
Pearl, captivated by the movies she sees, aspires to be a chorus girl or a film star, which Ruth disapproves of, and chafes under the forced isolation. Pearl also shows signs of psychopathy; she kills farm animals and physically abuses her father.
Her forced near-isolation on the farm has caused her to be innocent of the ways of the world around her, making you care for her and wanting to just hug her so you can assure her everything will be all right. Yet, Pearl is also a sociopath.
The evaluation also indicated that Pearl had a low IQ and no education beyond the 8th grade. In addition, she had been diagnosed with a litany of mental health disorders, including depression, eating disorders, developmental disability, PTSD, and possible personality disorder.
Despite her pessimistic perspective of humans, Pearl is extremely dedicated to her cause in protecting humanity more or less out of her love, loyalty, and admiration for Rose Quartz.
By the time of X, Pearl's rage at her frustrated dreams and sexuality had found an outlet in serial murder. Sometime before the beginning of X, Pearl murdered a young man who was living in the boarding house on her and Howard's farm.
The prequel will see Pearl in her twenties, placing the older version of Pearl in X at around 80 years old, which makes sense given how frail she appears.
It's confirmed that Pearl was in love with Rose due to the events of "Lion 3: Straight to Video"; "Rose's Scabbard"; "Story for Steven"; "Sworn to the Sword"; "We Need to Talk"; and "Chille Tid".
But did you know that the smile wasn't even in the script originally? The idea to extend the smile didn't come til after production began, but it helped the actress access a new dimension of her character.
In X, Mia Goth was cast as both the elderly antagonist, Pearl, and final girl, Maxine Minx, making her the only actress in the film given a double role. Director Ti West explained that this was to display the similarities between the two characters.
Although Rose encouraged Pearl's independence, Pearl never lost her devotion to Rose, which included romantic attraction, even after Rose "gave up her physical form" to allow Steven to be born.
Sexuality. Pearl is shown to be a lesbian due to her appearing uncomfortable around men such as Dewey and Greg and only showing attraction to women such as the Mystery Girl and Rose. There are many phone numbers that Pearl received shown in "A Single Pale Rose" which the majority or all are from women.
Pearl eventually started an affair with a projectionist at the theater in town, bringing him home because she needed to be satisfied. The odd thing was that she showed him off to her dad.
Pearl, lonely, prone to whimsy and longing for a more exciting life, is captivated by the films she sees at the local cinema and aspires to become a chorus girl, much to her mother's disapproval. Pearl indulges in abusing the liquid morphine provided to her father to manage his pain.
There is some sexual content like a sexual dance with a scarecrow or a brief artistic nude film but nothing too serious (nothing a 13+ hasn't seen or heard of before) it's a good watch and has amazing acting.
Mitzy takes Pearl back to the farm, where Pearl confesses to Mitzy everything she's been wanting to say to Howard since he left for war. Pearl reveals that she was pregnant with Howard's child when he left, and felt that it was unfair that he got to leave when she couldn't.
He is totally paralyzed by an unspecified disease, unable to do anything more than swallow or move his eyes, but he is fully aware of everything around him. He can do nothing but watch in obvious fear as his wife and daughter's resentment grows into physical abuse and, eventually, murder.
Then, Pink Pearl explains that the reason why she has a cracked eye is that Pink Diamond got angry after all of the times she asked for and was denied a colony. She threw a fit and accidentally hit Pink Pearl with her "destructive" powers.
Directed by Ti West, who co-writes with Mia Goth, Pearl is a disturbing psychological horror that opens with brightly colourful scenes of farm life (so preposterously idyllic that it all seems inspired by Douglas Sirk) before introducing our eponymous heroine, a woman who seems sweet and wholesome but is actually a ...
In Fusion Cuisine, Pearl exclaims on multiple occations that she hates eating because she finds it to be a revolting process and dislikes the feel of it through her body.
At the novel's climax, just as Reverend Dimmesdale is about to die, his awful secret finally exposed, Pearl honors him with an affectionate, forgiving, and tearful kiss. Even though she is still a child, Pearl understands the dramatic scene that has just unfolded in broad daylight in front of the entire community.
From early on in the show's run, it's been clear that Pearl is gay and she had romantic feelings for title character Steven Universe's mother Rose Quartz when she was still alive.
