Hey, Why Did Glenn Close Say That?

As a fan of Glenn Close and her impressive acting career, I must say that her performance in “The Deliverance” on Netflix is nothing short of extraordinary. It’s been a while since we saw her de-glam, bewigged, and portraying a segment of American poverty like in “Hillbilly Elegy” before it. But what on earth made her say “I can smell your nappy pussy” in a tiny little girl voice?

Glenn Close has given one of her most extraordinary performances on Netflix since, to put it simply, you’re familiar with. For instance, before that, the movie Hillbilly Elegy and Deliverance showcased Close without makeup, wigged, and portraying a segment of American poverty. However, one may wonder why she says “I can smell your dirty little girl” in a childlike voice? This could be a deliberate choice for character development or a creative interpretation, but it’s worth exploring further.

What is The Deliverance about?

The Deliverance can be described as a film that revolves around exorcism, in a sense. As the veteran pastor in the movie puts it, “I don’t perform exorcisms. I don’t require an intermediary. Jesus Christ is my intermediary.” This means an exorcism without any church hierarchy standing between you and God. Furthermore, there’s no intermediary between you and the Devil either.

Andy plays the role of Ebony, a mom of three children. She’s grappling with unsettled issues with her own mother (Close), a father in Iraq seeking full custody, an alcohol addiction, and Mo’Nique as a constant worry. Later, the Devil takes hold of her youngest son (Anthony B. Jenkins) and the situation spirals downhill.

So Glenn Close is the grandma?

Indeed, it seems reminiscent of the familiar “good grandmother, difficult mother” dynamic. Could you imagine that the antagonist in this film could symbolize intergenerational pain? Grandma Alberta, who once harshly disciplined Ebony and struggled with drug addiction, now finds solace in her faith (1) Jesus and battles cancer. Despite their frequent disagreements regarding child-rearing, they share tender moments, such as when grandmother, mother, and daughter all watch “The Valley of the Dolls” together during a hair-braiding session. They have memorized every line by heart.

Valley of the Dolls? This movie knows it’s camp.

Perhaps. There’s a somewhat melancholic vibe reminiscent of a church-themed film, yet it deviates from “Glenn Close coquettishly interacting with Omar Epps.” However, there are moments when the campy feel breaks through.

Does Glenn Close wear wigs? Has she worn wigs? Will she wear wigs? When does she wear wigs?

Throughout her entire screen presence, Glenn Close is either wearing a wig or a bald cap. It’s plausible that chemotherapy might be the reason, but it seems to me that Alberta appreciated fake hair long before it became a requirement.

What else does Glenn Close do in this film?

Apart from the inappropriate remark, let me rephrase some of these sentences for you:

Ohhh, that’s why she has demon teeth during the pussy comment.

In my opinion, it’s quite likely that her peculiar, tiny-voiced delivery is part of the design. After all, it adds an eerie, supernatural touch to the film, which, let me tell you, is nothing short of unsettling. Simply put, it’s a chilling demonstration of demonic behavior.

The opening of the movie says it’s based on a true story, so there was a real Alberta?

It appears that “The Exorcism of Emily Rose,” as you’ve rephrased it, is inspired by a true account of an alleged haunting or possession, known as the Ammon Haunting, also recognized as the 200 Demons House. Although modifications were made, the scene where the youngest child walked up a wall in front of a caseworker was reported in newspapers. The Ammons utilized a Catholic priest for their exorcism rituals, unlike the film which maintains a Protestant perspective. “The Exorcism of Emily Rose” shifts the action from Gary, Indiana, to Pittsburgh. Perhaps this was done for tax incentives? Perhaps because Caleb McLaughlin is featured in this movie and he may not always play characters from Hoosier-state? However, the Ammons did indeed reside with their grandmother, Rosa Campbell. Historical records remain vague about the nature or range of her wig collection.

How is Lee Daniels taking the … mixed reception?

1. It appears he’s quite cheerful concerning the matter. Daniels retweeted the viral post, commenting, “I had no choice.” When someone remarked, “Knight, you had Glenn Close in a 26-piece wig, sewing on the porch in the hood, the Secret Service should intervene now,” he responded, “This tweet could be an advertisement,” accompanied by three laughing-cry emojis.

Cry-laughing emoji, indeed.
