I just binge watched this and cannot get it out of my head. I mean it is scary, yes, but it is much more a tragedy to me. That whole poor family! And poor, poor, nell. Her story had me in tears and I am not a man that tears come easily to.
@@annexiety7517 confetti refers to things that happen constantly and simultaneously for short periods of time. So all of their fights, as siblings they happened often but they weren’t forever and they weren’t the things that lasted, what lasted was their love for each other.
actually it makes sense. the house wanted them to be safe so they would feel like they are home and they will never leave. The fact the room made their own personal rooms, for me, makes the house even scarier. Just imagine knowing how dangerous is a place than can kill your mother and your sister, but makes you feel safe
I love that Hugh never got his version of the red room. He was the only one who saw through the bullshit and in the end he's the real hero of the story. He got the kids out the first time and he sacrificed himself to get them out the last time.
But he did get a red room kind of , he was obsessed with fixing that house so the red room locked him out of it because it was the source of “leak” he could never get too So he stayed longer and kept trying to figure out how to fix the leak Idk how I thought about how the red room fucked with him too 🤷🏽♀️
Max 117 Hugh i feel is so misunderstood, people find him annoying but he was a great father to the crain siblings, Him and Nellie saved them, Hugh taking action the last night at hh saved his kids but also led Olivia to die which led to years and years of trauma affecting him and his kids, by him sacrificing himself the second time the kids were able to live and leave hill house and Nellie’s death allowed them to confront their trauma and move past it in order to live a better life despite their childhoods, both Hugh and Nellie were the key to allowing the others to have a happy ending, but the fact they had to die for it to happen makes it sad
Nell was comforting them the whole time. She was at peace and knew that under all that trauma that her siblings still loved her. She just had to remind them of that. To move on and not feel guilty. Under alll the pain, there was love, the "confettti" was the trauma and was ultimately irrelevant in the end. Very powerful.
@@aaronmichael1201 I agree! It caught me off guard, and is a perfect example of expert screenwriting! Probably one of the most seemingly innocuous, yet most impactful lines I have ever heard in TV history.
“i am not gone. i am scattered into so many pieces,sprinkles on your life like..new snow” just beautiful. i cried during this because it was just such a pure and wonderful scene that couldn’t of been captured better
Same...i really need to find her whole speech/monologe..its so beautiful and it makes you think of the people you've lost and all the bad and good things in your life
Someone give this girl an oscar I have not been so affected by a cast and a story in so long. It was so melancholy, sad, scary and beautiful. It truly absorbed you into the house and family. It made you cry and then gave you closure.
Nell’s speech here was so incredibly profound. It actually sounded angelic. When she talks about time not being linear and she can exist in any moment whenever she wants. She didn’t die, she ascended.
That's how time actually works - or more precisely, time does not exist at a quantum level. Why we perceive time as linear is a mystery, although I have no doubt neuroscience will crack it eventually.
She's apparently playing Leslie Van Houten (a member of the Manson Family) in that new movie Once Upon a Time In Hollywood. It's an uncanny resemblance.
"Forgiveness is warm, like a tear on a cheek, think of that and me when you stand in the rain. I loved you completely and you loved me the same that's all. The rest is confetti." This broke my heart.
There are a lot of good quotes in this scene and in this show, but I really feel this is one of the most underrated. It is so relieving to hear, that forgiveness SHOULD be warm, and it's so true and necessary for people who often misunderstand through no fault of their own what forgiveness is supposed to be. It's like Uncle Iroh's "Pride is not the opposite of shame, but it's source. Only true humility is the antidote to shame."
My first love once said, "When you love someone, there's no such thing as Good-bye. I'll talk to you later." He's gone to God now, and I remember his words, plus so many words of love and kindness he gave to me. Every tear I cry in remembrance of him is like telling him "I love you." Tears are love when you miss someone. I cried at his kindness once and apologized for it. He said to me, "Crying just means you have a good heart." He was truly one of a kind and will be missed until I am called home to him.
Yup exactly! And that’s why the mom was terrified of what the evil world could do to someone so kind hearted , so the house tricked her into committing the ultimate sin.
Horror movies have been a huge disappoint for the last decade or so, but this was a horror/philosophical masterpiece! Truly amazing and the music made the scenes really standout, as well as the acting! 10/10!!!
There are some good modern horror movies out there that have compelling characters and meaningful ideas. The problem is those sorts of movies don't get a lot of recognition from a wider audience because they don't rely on cheap jump scares. Some modern horrors I really liked are The Babadook, Triangle and The Descent
This scene absolutely broke me. My mom died unexpectedly almost three years ago and I've spent so much time since then regretting that our last bit of time together wasn't enough, or that our relationship was occasionally strained. "The rest is confetti" made me realize that at the end of the day, the love we have for our family is what will remain. The words spoken in anger, the unanswered phone calls, none of that matters. We knew we loved each other and that has to be enough for me now. I didn't expect a Netflix show to give me closure over the death of a loved one. What an amazing show.
im so sorry to hear that. i lost my dad just recently earlier this year so i completely understand you. i felt the same way watching this scene. every day i sit and think about what couldve been done, the guilt, the anger and ive been fumbling trying to find answers. some kind of closure. but after watching this, i realize that nothing couldve changed anything and in the end, nothing matters and all that we know for sure is the love that we had for each other.
I feel the same about this scene. So many unresolved things with loved ones gone. This is exactly what we needed to hear. Who knew we'd find that in a Netflix show, huh?
This is what happens when excellent writing, acting, and a soundtrack is interwoven on a level that can only be defined as masterful filmmaking. Beautifully done...I wish TV did this more often.
I started catching on the second time Mrs. Dudley asked, "The *what* room???" when Steve said he found the mirror in the game room. She had asked Nellie the same question when she said where she found the tea cup. And when their mom mentioned the reading room, little Luke asked which room that was.
When someone said Luke was probably in the tree house, Olivia scoffed. I think Mr. Dudley knew something about the room because of how he replied to Hugh about the missing key. He called it 'THAT' room.
@@dianetavegia2320 Oh, I remember that. Olivia was looking for Luke and he caught Mrs. Dudley talking to Steven about the gospels. Olivia then asks Steven where Luke is, and he responds, "Have you checked the treehouse?" and she responds with a "Very funny, young man." I thought that was a very weird response, but it all makes sense now.
@@nancymx0 She means that the only thing that matters is that they all loved each other. When she says "The rest is confetti," she essentially means that everything else, all of the fights, arguments, and drama they had over the years is ultimately of no significance. It doesn't matter. That's why it was so beautiful.
Wow I just noticed that the window is the same in every variation of the red room. And looking back at it earlier, in episode 9 young luke asked shirley which one moms reading room was. I absolutely love the small things in this show that improve it as you watch it back.
Yeah the first ending of the show was supposed to be a sad ending where behind their family reunion (at the end of the episode with Luke having his cake) there was supposed to be the window from the red romm so we would have never known if they actually escaped the red room which is probably why they kept the same window though all the show to give this hint at the end ^^ We're lucky they changed the end tho xD
I'm glad the show had a good ending, it sucks they lost nell and their father but they look sooo much happier together at the end. Yeah they went back into the darkness of the world but they truly have each other's backs and that's what matters.
When Liv asks for Luke in episode 1 and Steve tells her to look in the treehouse and she looks at him and says: you’re really funny mister, Knowing that there was no treehouse 🤔 those little details are bomb.
I started noticing something was up earlier in the season (not necessarily about the red room though.) Whenever the kids would talk to Mrs. Dudley about the "game room" or "toy room" she'd always be like, "The what room??" and look really confused. Absolutely love how this show was pieced together!
I don't know if anyone noticed or not but in one scene Olivia talking to her husband when both the twins slept besides her that she wants them to be like this always and "freeze" them in time at the same moment her husband took Luke and left Nell with her. Does that the indication that Nell will be dead and freeze in time with her and Luke will live? God this show has so many layers. I want to know if someone else noticed something similar.
Yes, i immediately picked up on this when i saw it. That's when i thought the dad wasn't about to let the mom have Luke. She took away a twin, but she couldn't have the other one. He wouldn't let it happen again
As someone who struggles with suicidal thoughts, I just love Nell’s responses and words of comfort to her siblings, especially Shirley and Steve. I know a lot of people think of suicide as the cliche “Good bye cruel world” thing, but at least for me it’s more about the world being beautiful and me just not fitting into it; not living up to it. If I go, I just want my friends and family to know that it’s nothing about what they did, or didn’t do. They did answer the phone, so many times, and no, it wouldn’t have changed anything. Beautiful writing and wonderful performance.
Hey man, hang in there. Suicidal thoughts are the worst, but I just want you to know that you definitely fit into the world and live up to it, and I'm sure your family and friends would feel the same.
The thing is, there truly is a place somewhere in the world for everyone. You just haven't found it yet. Not everybody agrees that life should be a 9 to 5 job. You could spend your years just hiking the tallest mountains if you wish. You could spend it rescuing baby sea turtles. You could perform in a traveling circus. There's something out there.
MariaSandraC it means the only thing that matters is the siblings’ love for each other. All the fights, drama, heartbreak, etc. is just confetti, just little moments that sprinkle around their love. All those moments, good or bad, don’t matter because at the end of the day they all love each other completely :)
Maybe the second chapter, but not the first. This is also a 10 episode series, so it's not really fair to compare it to films that have to narrow down their stories and characters to 1.5-2 hour films
@@joshuacarpenter7447 can't agree with you. Conjuring series is a bunch of jump scares thrown inside a family-move-in story. Watched both and now I don't even remember which is which and the only characters I remember is Ed and Lorraine.
@@SudinJoseph "Bunch of jump scares"..A majority of the scares in this series were jump scares, so that's not a valid argument. This series was sad and tragic, but it wasn't scary.
@@joshuacarpenter7447 Yeah there were jump scares but they were totally justifiable ones. I was half disappointed when I saw the scene in episode 1 where Nell appears behind Steve and screams. Then after watching the full story arc of Nell, that scene totally fits into the story. If the jump scare is backed by a valid reason then I am totally cool with it. The problem with most of the modern horror films is that they put these jump scares just because it's a horror film. And nowhere I told you it's scary. For me it was one of the most emotional drama series I have ever watched.
@@SudinJoseph They aren't "justifiable", you're just making excuses to avoid admitting that THOHH suffers from the same jump scares. This series was not scary, compared to the book that left a haunting feeling after its ending. I never said you that you did say it was scary, however you can't complain about jump scares in Conjuring but then let it slide when it's done in here. This series went a 180 degrees different direction from what the book was.
I waited until I was out of the Corps for 10 years to get 2 tattoos when most were going hog wild. I wanted it to be special to me. I got ASNF on one shoulder to honor my dad from a movie as A Son Never Forgets and USMC on the other one as I will always be faithful to a fault. Sometimes a movie can do that to you.
I don’t quite get what “the rest is confetti” means. English is not my first language. Although I think I got the point of her monologue, I wish someone would explain me this sentence.
The entire time I was really hoping for Nellie to come back from the dead or something like that in the end. I really hoped that all of the siblings survive but in end it was all confetti. Whenever I see the scene of younger Nelle crying and saying that she was here along but no one could see her, it breaks my heart.
What hits the hardest about this scene is all those who have experienced the reality shattering of losing a loved one to suicide, this gives voice to them and our hearts toward them...
Christopher Matheney Yes, I lost my mom a few years and this scene honestly broke me. Take away the ghosts and haunted house and it's still a poignant, deep story about a family trying to move on from the suicide of a loved one
I think Nelly telling Steve, “it wouldn’t have changed anything, I need you to know that”, was a very important line. I think after Nelly died, the guilt weighed heavy on Steve. So for Nell to be able to reassure him that nothing he said would’ve changed how she felt about him was so important for Nell but also for Steven to not have to let the guilt weigh on him any longer.
I loved the series, but something I hated was that Olivia (the mom) was a psychotic even after death. Ultimately she ended up trying to kill her children. I wish her spirit was her true self rather than what the House mutated her into being in the end.
Agreed, In life Poppy had manipulated her mind but once she no longer had a physical mind I figured her influence would ware off after death but it never did for whatever reason.
Because when she died all she wanted to be was to be awake but when she became a ghost she was still alone in the house without her family so i think the house didn't loose effect on her because she still probably felt betrayed and lost... Nelle tho realized the twist with the bent-neck lady and she probably realized in the end that she lost to the house which is why the house must have lost it's effect on her ^^ because she became aware of what the house did to her I mean that's my vision of it at least ^^
Mr Locke-The reason why Olivia couldn't come to her senses and Nellie did was because out of everyone in the Crane family Olivia was obviously the most vulnerable psychologically. Because the house had used Olivia's love for her kids and her fear of what might happen to them so well that it had full control over her & had her completely convinced that the only way she could protect them from harm was to kill them herself, plus her fear of being left completely alone without the family she loves so much kept her from being able to come to her senses. In the end she was so far gone it took that conversation with her husband to finally snap her out of it.
Yeah! I figured it's like Mal from Inception prior to the ending of Inception. Where she's so convinced of a certain way that even in death it only solidifies her stance of the truth of waking up.
Actually, in the end I get confused about Olivia, almost like after dying she had two selfs. I really think i saw a pattern: when she wears the blue dress she seemed conscious and worried with her children in a good manner, for example, when she talks with Hugh at the funeral of Nell and adviced him. But specifically in some scenes at the Hill House when she wears the red dress seemed possessed and sort of devilish. Maybe we get more clues in a second season.
@@filomenapeixeiro751 if you watched the episode for example the ladt, you can hear she says to Hugh that the Olivia he was talking to (blue dress) is not her but it's created from his mind (ever since she was dead)
In the end the Father sacrificed himself so that his kids could live. Either the house was going to take them or someone else. The Father decided to die to satisfy Olivia. You can still tell by Olivia's eyes in the end that she really wanted the kids.
@@trulyblessed1902 However, I think Hugh wanted to be with Olivia and Nell, like the Dudley's wanted to die in the house so they could eternally be with Abigail and their infant. In Nell's after death speech in the red room, she talks about the red room being the stomach of the house and feeling like a monster had eaten her and she was a tiny creature.
"The rest is confetti" line is literally something I think about every day. There's so much confetti in our life and it takes up so much of our time, our attention, our soul. And yet, loving and being loved really is all that matters. Everything else really IS just confetti.
What I love here is that Nell was able to bring closure because after her death, she was released from a linear sense of time and could see many points in time at once. She was able to forgive and love her family completely because she saw the completeness of their love for her and how meaningless little disagreements became from a broader perspective. She has always existed and will always exist in the hearts of those who loved her.
Especially since I think she was angry at first (when she showed up at Steven’s place) like she went through the stages of grief till she came to acceptance and forgiveness
It hurts my heart that they must continue life without their parents and sister. I know it’s just a tv show, but the way that these episodes have been filmed is so emotionally powerful and stunning. Hands down, best and most emotional show I’ve seen.
“you have to live” “i don’t know how to do this without you..” “i’ve learnt a secret, there is no “without. i am not gone.” that part broke me, them being twins and being separated just broke me
“I need you to know that forgiveness is warm, like tear on a cheek. Think of that, and of me, when you stand in the rain. I loved you completely, and you loved me the same. That’s all. The rest is confetti😌.” - Eleanor Crain
"I'm like a small creature swallowed all by a monster, and the monster can feel my tiny little movements inside it" .. she said it with such pain as if she were also talking about the depression she was going through. She could no longer fight it back. It swallowed her- consumed her. She surrendered and now her soul walks to tell the story.
I'm going to be real here- I understand there's a plethora of meanings and messages hidden and interwoven throughout this beautiful masterpiece, that this whole show, and the book it was based on, is about facing past traumas and about broken family's, emotional vulnerability, etc., etc. but if you think for a second that there isn't one that stands above them all then you are wrong, dead wrong. If you don't know what the point of the show is then look at these 160 seconds. The Haunting of Hill House is a story that's main and most central message is about love. Pure, messy, angry, and sad love.
Devin Flener my favorite part of this show is the fact that it can also stand as an allegory for a family moving on and healing from trauma. I know that the haunting is "real" but even if it weren't, it would still be an amazing story about a family trying to move on from their mothers mental illness and suicide, and then the eventual suicide of their sister. Take away the ghosts and jump scares and it's still a beautiful, touching story about a family trying to love each other through a terrible trauma
This is probably one of the best shows I've ever seen on Netflix. This particular scene was so beautifully shot and emotionally acted and the script so masterfully written. I watched the whole show within a day's time and by the end I was floored by how beautiful it was. Plus the background music in this scene makes it even more emotional but my tears came when they played "If I go, I'm going" by Gregory Alan Isakov. That scene just murdered me all together....
This show has set the bar it accomplished in one season what American horror story failed to do in over 8 seasons which was to sit and actually have a philosophical sense of life and death and the connection of family !
Just finished watching Midnight Mass and after hearing Erin's speech I had to come back to Nell's. Mike Flanagan's characters have a way with describing life and death in a way that strikes a chord with me.

“I am scattered over your life” this scene spoke to me at such a perfect time!! After losing my boyfriend and best friend to gun violence! I was fighting back tears!!!
Someone explain to me what the Shirley hate is about. She tried her entire life to try and keep her family together and safe and deal with her own trauma by being as perfect and in control as possible. We see her as she's tapped out and completely fraying at the edges from trying to do this for so long. She paid for Luke's treatment for years till he showed up for Nell's wedding high as a kite, she loved and looked after Nell till that last phone call, she gave Theo her guest house, was supportive of her sexuality but concerned by her promiscuity, and had a good relationship with her right up till it was revealed they all went behind her back and took Steve's money. I cant fault her for hating Steve's book, everyone else did too, no one else could afford to take such an inflexible stance on it is all. She's just as tragic a character as any of them, trying to understand death, wrest it into submission between her hands, seeing and trying not to see, denying but also not denying. Every single one of these characters are going to pieces during the course of this show so I dont see why Shirley is the one to catch flak and while Theo is a fave. I love Theo most myself but she was the one who shut out all her siblings, left Nell when she was at her lowest, took Steve's money and judged him as hard as Shirley did, wrote Luke off and lied to Shirley while living with her. Nell was right when she said Theo had boundaries for everyone except herself. Why judge Shirley and not Theo?
I totally argee. She has played a good role as big sister. In the other hand, Theo is an interesting personality but she didn't really take care of her siblings. If someone to blame, put it on Steven. I don't like him at all.
You miss the point.Why to judge anyone? This show is about love and forgiveness. The video we've watched makes it pretty clear. We tend to be judgmental and harsh with other people, but there is no point on that after all. "The rest is confetti" as Nell said.
I don't 'hate' Shirley, but she was selfish and cold. THHH is as much a love story as it is a horror story. Be kind to each other and nothing else. Be kind.
I know right!!!! so many people judge Steve and Shirley just because they were not as haunted as Luke or Nell or as cool as Theo. Shirley was honestly the most human character on the show, many people dont start using drugs/sex/depression to heal themselves, they just try to fix everything and move on, just like Shirley did.
This has to be the most beautiful, moving scene. "I am not gone, I'm scattered into so many pieces, sprinkled on your life like new snow..." She brought tears to my eyes.
Nell and Luke are my favourite characters. AND.... this part made me cry; 'I learned a secret. There is no without. I'm not gone.' AGHHHH I NEED TISSUESSS
I get chills every time I watch it when she says “no not a heart, a stomach.” And also the “you did, so many times”. Also finally “everything else is just confetti”
The house tried so hard to manipulate everybody but Nell wouldn’t let it and pulled everybody out of their dream. Her last gift to everybody when they all helped her a lot of her life.
This is the most beautiful speech from a character I've ever seen. I started tearing up, when her sweet voice broke on "I'm not gone" and till the end i was bawling my eyes out
Okay, so the level of acting done in these series by Victoria Pedretti (Nell) is truly fricking phenomenal! Like, this is her very first role ever in some season or a movie but damn, her acting is so amazing. She literally made me cry.
Crazy as it may sound, but I think Nelly was meant to die because if she never faced her fear, they would've continuously be flawed. She was the salvation for their guilt and fear. Like a guardian angel looking over them. So the bent neck lady was her fate.
I always come back to this scene. There is no other TV show that makes me this emotional every single time. “You have to live” “i don’t know how to do this without you” part is killing me
Ngl I want to quote her monologue as my epitaph on my grave stone "I learned a secret: I am not gone. I have been scattered into so many little pieces sprinkled all across your lives, like snow, like rain, like confetti."
I lost my grandma on January 2021. I remember that it was snowing like crazy here in Texas. When we got the news about her passing I was eating and I looked up and out the window and it was snowing. Then I thought of what Nell said “I am not gone. I am scattered into so many pieces sprinkled on your life like new snow.” Kinda felt like it was my grandma’s way of telling me that she will take care of me and be with me.
I lost my cat! I know that’s not a person. But 19 years. Where I would go to when I was hurt or crying or just needed a hug:( I didn’t have anyone. I got yelled at most of the time. And didn’t trust anyone. My cat was the only one beside a scratch on my leg when he first got to my house. Beside that he never hurt me.
I started rewatching this series a few weeks ago (after having not seen it in years) and during that time my sister had passed. I eventually came back to it to finish it and this episode although it made sob (and still does) it gave me comfort.
You can think of death as another state of conscience. Although she is somehow sentient, she is not able to recollect thoughts the same way of the living. And she is struggling to mantain her physical form as she tries to speak with her siblings. It’s an ambiguous feeling. You have the knowledge of an expanded conscience, but at the same time, your mind is confused, almost intoxicated, trying to deal with a non linear existence. That’s why she’s explaining the facts using almost the same words, the same sentences and even the same voice tone. It's a brilliant (and sad) scene and a suberb performance of Victoria Pedretti.
I've seen a lot of people in the past criticize this show for its sentimentality. I beg to differ. I think the sweetness, the sentimentality of the show is one of its biggest strengths. It made me cry, made me laugh, made me hope just as much as it made me scared.
This was so much more than a simple ghost story. It wasn't even that scary for me when i watched it but man was it so complex and human. A story about a family that are dysfunctional and love each other but can't stop hurting each other as well as themselves, that see the damage that they do but continue to do it. The psychology was stunning and i sobbed when it was over. In a weird way it helped with grief and coming to terms with the things we can't control in life. The things that scare us and cause us anxiety and pain, the things that make us build our own walls up to protect ourselves. In the end the ghosts were just the symptom of the human condition and is why i think Netflix really outdid themselves with this one.
I'm 30 years old and I feel like I've discovered a new emotion. I was so hesitant to watch this show. I wanted something scary, but didn't want to feel sad. I watch scary things to distract myself from sadness. I'm so glad I gave it a shot. It was so... much. I wish I could explain it better. But that's all I've got.
I have always loved this show.. I have rewatched this so many times...and have loved everything she says... It has hit very deep with me... And last Monday I suddenly lost my oldest brother and I instantly thought of confetti... So I shared several of these lines with my family. My bother loved us completely and we loved him the same. That's all. The rest is confetti 🎊
I haven't been as blindsided by a twist since the Sixth Sense. The best twists hide in plain sight, and the Red Room was right there the whole time, and nobody could see it. Like Nell.
This is so beautiful and well done. When it’s quiet, I just think of this, and it makes me feel a strange mix of happy and sad that I’ve never felt before. I picture Nell. And I feel confetti.
Nell telling Steve that nothing would have changed if he had helped is so devasting. She was basically telling him it wasn't his fault for what happened to her, since he carried that throughout the season.
My infant son passed away about a week and a half ago. But I watch this over and over and send it to my family members grieving him. God knows I loved him but he was a gift, as are we all. And love is all that ever matters.
This episode, this scene, her monologue - I wept like a child as I began to think about the loved ones I lost and how it pertained to my life. Powerful story, powerful characters, beautifully dark show that's been left imprinted upon my beating heart. I'll carry with me always.
One thing I just thought is that I think the Red Room fantasies, their own 'rooms', represented their loneliness. They each had their own room because they could never really connect with each other. The house made sure that they would never connect be together.
I lost my brother from a hit and run, I'm the youngest, next him, and 2 older sisters. The dad looks like my dad, acts like my dad. Anyway, this couldn't be more real about grief. It comes in phases. I was closest to my brother, and he always called me first. He played with me in my room, and we all have something different to share with him. And when it rains, even if I'm inside, I stick my hand out the window. When I cry I feel the warmth on my cheek, in a weird way, this scene has helped me through a similar time. Best writer.

The story in general is sad but Nelly's role broke my heart the most.
SoundtrackFanGirlFa Don’t you mean your neck?? 😂💀
Ya
I just binge watched this and cannot get it out of my head. I mean it is scary, yes, but it is much more a tragedy to me. That whole poor family! And poor, poor, nell. Her story had me in tears and I am not a man that tears come easily to.
SoundtrackFanGirlFa I’m not crying, you’re crying!
SoundtrackFanGirlFa in my opinion the most sad caracteres are the father olivia nelly and luke
“I loved you completely. And you loved me the same. The rest is confetti.”
holy shit
what does confetti mean?
@@annexiety7517 do u actually not know what confetti is
@@charlieadams2143 they are asking in reference to Nelly's line. If you won't answer, move on.
@@annexiety7517 confetti refers to things that happen constantly and simultaneously for short periods of time. So all of their fights, as siblings they happened often but they weren’t forever and they weren’t the things that lasted, what lasted was their love for each other.
@@annexiety7517 it means that they loved each other and the rest is just white noise, unimportant in comparison to the love they shared. 💕
The fact that the house was so terrifying, yet it was a safe place for each of them is so scary. Feeding off of them when they were safe.
actually it makes sense. the house wanted them to be safe so they would feel like they are home and they will never leave. The fact the room made their own personal rooms, for me, makes the house even scarier. Just imagine knowing how dangerous is a place than can kill your mother and your sister, but makes you feel safe
estela007 That’s exactly what I said 😂😂 I agree 100%
Sort of like a mutually beneficial relationship similar to that insects perform.
Actually they were never safe in this house..it almost killed the whole family..
@@estela007 or a metaphor for a mother's love (like Liv). She will keep you warm and safe but you can never leave.
I love that Hugh never got his version of the red room. He was the only one who saw through the bullshit and in the end he's the real hero of the story. He got the kids out the first time and he sacrificed himself to get them out the last time.
Yes he was an admirable character !
Max 117 yes! It broke my heart how all of his kids hated him, specially the episode of Nell’s funeral, omg he broke my heart
But he did get a red room kind of , he was obsessed with fixing that house so the red room locked him out of it because it was the source of “leak” he could never get too
So he stayed longer and kept trying to figure out how to fix the leak
Idk how I thought about how the red room fucked with him too 🤷🏽♀️
Gray F oh yeah never thought of it!
Max 117 Hugh i feel is so misunderstood, people find him annoying but he was a great father to the crain siblings, Him and Nellie saved them, Hugh taking action the last night at hh saved his kids but also led Olivia to die which led to years and years of trauma affecting him and his kids, by him sacrificing himself the second time the kids were able to live and leave hill house and Nellie’s death allowed them to confront their trauma and move past it in order to live a better life despite their childhoods, both Hugh and Nellie were the key to allowing the others to have a happy ending, but the fact they had to die for it to happen makes it sad
“I loved you completely. And you loved me the same. The rest is confetti.” My heart 😭
"The rest is confetti" is a line I never thought would make me cry the way it did.
Nell was comforting them the whole time. She was at peace and knew that under all that trauma that her siblings still loved her. She just had
to remind them of that. To move on and not feel guilty. Under alll the pain, there was love, the "confettti" was the trauma and was ultimately
irrelevant in the end. Very powerful.
Christrulesall2 Extremely well said 👌🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻
@@aaronmichael1201 I agree! It caught me off guard, and is a perfect example of expert screenwriting! Probably one of the most seemingly innocuous, yet most impactful lines I have ever heard in TV history.
Absolutely. Any other words critiquing this would cheapen the beauty of her and the raw emotion 💖
“i am not gone. i am scattered into so many pieces,sprinkles on your life like..new snow” just beautiful. i cried during this because it was just such a pure and wonderful scene that couldn’t of been captured better
Same...i really need to find her whole speech/monologe..its so beautiful and it makes you think of the people you've lost and all the bad and good things in your life
I cried so hard while watching that on my phone my mom thought that I'm having a breakdown hahaha
I honestly, really disliked it. It felt out of place and so off. Her acting didn't seel it for me, but I've heard she was new actor at the time.
@@ntbored7727 What's wrong with you? It was well executed.
Kid you not, that line helped me through to cope from the grief of losing a loved one. :')
Someone give this girl an oscar I have not been so affected by a cast and a story in so long. It was so melancholy, sad, scary and beautiful. It truly absorbed you into the house and family. It made you cry and then gave you closure.
Andrew Tolan-I still can't believe this was her first acting job. She was so amazing in this.
@@pom11pom absolutely.. Nell is absolutely damaged yet captivating.
oscar, yes, grammy’s are for music
That's what I am saying. She will very very soon, believe it.
To be honest she deserved to have her neck broken. She did it herself and God says the punishment is hell forever.
Nell’s speech here was so incredibly profound. It actually sounded angelic.
When she talks about time not being linear and she can exist in any moment whenever she wants.
She didn’t die, she ascended.
"I learned a secret. There is no without. I am never gone."
Woah
From the bent-neck lady to ascension to where she is.. Angelic.
That's how time actually works - or more precisely, time does not exist at a quantum level. Why we perceive time as linear is a mystery, although I have no doubt neuroscience will crack it eventually.
It would be cool it this was reality
The actress that plays Nell’s performance made me sob.
Victoria Pedretti. I hope she gets big. Her performance on this series left me amazed
Adrian Monzon it was incredible. Truly.
Adrian Monzon Tarantino already has his sights on her. She’s gonna be big..
She's apparently playing Leslie Van Houten (a member of the Manson Family) in that new movie Once Upon a Time In Hollywood. It's an uncanny resemblance.
bitchass she’s blown up through the series YOU
"Forgiveness is warm, like a tear on a cheek, think of that and me when you stand in the rain. I loved you completely and you loved me the same that's all. The rest is confetti." This broke my heart.
There are a lot of good quotes in this scene and in this show, but I really feel this is one of the most underrated. It is so relieving to hear, that forgiveness SHOULD be warm, and it's so true and necessary for people who often misunderstand through no fault of their own what forgiveness is supposed to be.
It's like Uncle Iroh's "Pride is not the opposite of shame, but it's source. Only true humility is the antidote to shame."
I watched the last 5 episodes on a train yesterday (long ride). I cried like a baby, on a train, at those words.
My first love once said, "When you love someone, there's no such thing as Good-bye. I'll talk to you later." He's gone to God now, and I remember his words, plus so many words of love and kindness he gave to me.
Every tear I cry in remembrance of him is like telling him "I love you." Tears are love when you miss someone. I cried at his kindness once and apologized for it. He said to me, "Crying just means you have a good heart." He was truly one of a kind and will be missed until I am called home to him.
@@Hawaiiansky11He seemed like a genuinely nice guy, I hope he is resting wherever he is.
i’m a mess because of that, really
This girl (Nell) its her first job and already did such a strong performance, she's gonna get big I just know it.
Well, she's going to be in Tarantino's next movie so...
She just got out of Acting School when she got the role. Her acting is amazing. She's gorgeous and humble. I hope Hollywood treats her well.
@@frankoceanstanaccount7126 Hollywood is the hill house...let's just hope she can see throw the deceptions of it's red room.
she's phenomenal!
I find her really god on You season 2 she got a main role
I love how she held on to that sweet, gentle, loving and forgiving nature that she had when she was a child. That's why she's one of my favorites.
this comment right here 🥹
Yup exactly! And that’s why the mom was terrified of what the evil world could do to someone so kind hearted , so the house tricked her into committing the ultimate sin.
Horror movies have been a huge disappoint for the last decade or so, but this was a horror/philosophical masterpiece! Truly amazing and the music made the scenes really standout, as well as the acting! 10/10!!!
Eh, not all of them. The first Insidious and Conjuring were some of the last remnants of decent horror films
Basically Americans decided to try J-Horrors and didn't fail
There are some good modern horror movies out there that have compelling characters and meaningful ideas. The problem is those sorts of movies don't get a lot of recognition from a wider audience because they don't rely on cheap jump scares. Some modern horrors I really liked are The Babadook, Triangle and The Descent
David Turner don’t forget hereditary
Cole Cash I’m really the only one who hated the conjuring. I really don’t get the hype
This scene absolutely broke me. My mom died unexpectedly almost three years ago and I've spent so much time since then regretting that our last bit of time together wasn't enough, or that our relationship was occasionally strained. "The rest is confetti" made me realize that at the end of the day, the love we have for our family is what will remain. The words spoken in anger, the unanswered phone calls, none of that matters. We knew we loved each other and that has to be enough for me now. I didn't expect a Netflix show to give me closure over the death of a loved one. What an amazing show.
Hope You And Your Family Are Ok R.i.P Your Mother Who I'm sure was a good women
Beautifully said Shannon. I’m so glad to hear these words helped provide closure for you as they are powerful and meaningful. Thank you for sharing ❤️
I am sorry for your loss. May God bless your mother's soul
im so sorry to hear that. i lost my dad just recently earlier this year so i completely understand you. i felt the same way watching this scene. every day i sit and think about what couldve been done, the guilt, the anger and ive been fumbling trying to find answers. some kind of closure. but after watching this, i realize that nothing couldve changed anything and in the end, nothing matters and all that we know for sure is the love that we had for each other.
I feel the same about this scene. So many unresolved things with loved ones gone. This is exactly what we needed to hear. Who knew we'd find that in a Netflix show, huh?
This is what happens when excellent writing, acting, and a soundtrack is interwoven on a level that can only be defined as masterful filmmaking. Beautifully done...I wish TV did this more often.
Absolutely agree with you. This might be the most beautiful writing I’ve ever heard and her performance couldn’t have been better. True poetry.
We’d soon get tired and demand something new and different. We’d have more of the same. I love the idea of gems like this being rare.
Do u know what the name of the soundtrack in this scene ?
@@mohannadsalehart Go Tomorrow
“You have to live...”
“I don’t know how to do this without you......”
When I tell you I lost it 😭😭😭😭😭
Hailey Spear It hurted my heart. 😭
THAT PARTTT 😭😭
Perfect delivery
As someone who has a twin, this part did it for me 😭😭😭
I started catching on the second time Mrs. Dudley asked, "The *what* room???" when Steve said he found the mirror in the game room. She had asked Nellie the same question when she said where she found the tea cup. And when their mom mentioned the reading room, little Luke asked which room that was.
When someone said Luke was probably in the tree house, Olivia scoffed. I think Mr. Dudley knew something about the room because of how he replied to Hugh about the missing key. He called it 'THAT' room.
@@dianetavegia2320 Oh, I remember that. Olivia was looking for Luke and he caught Mrs. Dudley talking to Steven about the gospels. Olivia then asks Steven where Luke is, and he responds, "Have you checked the treehouse?" and she responds with a "Very funny, young man."
I thought that was a very weird response, but it all makes sense now.
@@dianetavegia2320 then when steven goes to the “tree house” you notice the entrance is a red hatch.
The rest is confetti...Best line ever
Neurosurgery Nerd what does she mean by that line?
@@nancymx0 She means that the only thing that matters is that they all loved each other. When she says "The rest is confetti," she essentially means that everything else, all of the fights, arguments, and drama they had over the years is ultimately of no significance. It doesn't matter. That's why it was so beautiful.
Neurosurgery Nerd thank you 😊
@@nancymx0 You're welcome :)
Amen best series ever
This Is by far the Best show I`ve seen on Netflix.
Amazing.
High Seas (Alta Mar) is more thrilling. This one is makes you review your life, very emotional. Both are a must watch IMHO.
Luke: I don’t know how to live without you.
Nell: I learned a secret. There is no “without”. I am not gone.
I’m shattered.
that part broke me
"Scattered into so many pieces, sprinkled all over your lives, like new snow."
Wow I just noticed that the window is the same in every variation of the red room. And looking back at it earlier, in episode 9 young luke asked shirley which one moms reading room was. I absolutely love the small things in this show that improve it as you watch it back.
When young steve entered the "treehouse" the hatch was red on the outside, too.
Yeah the first ending of the show was supposed to be a sad ending where behind their family reunion (at the end of the episode with Luke having his cake) there was supposed to be the window from the red romm so we would have never known if they actually escaped the red room which is probably why they kept the same window though all the show to give this hint at the end ^^
We're lucky they changed the end tho xD
I'm glad the show had a good ending, it sucks they lost nell and their father but they look sooo much happier together at the end. Yeah they went back into the darkness of the world but they truly have each other's backs and that's what matters.
When Liv asks for Luke in episode 1 and Steve tells her to look in the treehouse and she looks at him and says: you’re really funny mister, Knowing that there was no treehouse 🤔 those little details are bomb.
I started noticing something was up earlier in the season (not necessarily about the red room though.) Whenever the kids would talk to Mrs. Dudley about the "game room" or "toy room" she'd always be like, "The what room??" and look really confused. Absolutely love how this show was pieced together!
I don't know if anyone noticed or not but in one scene Olivia talking to her husband when both the twins slept besides her that she wants them to be like this always and "freeze" them in time at the same moment her husband took Luke and left Nell with her. Does that the indication that Nell will be dead and freeze in time with her and Luke will live? God this show has so many layers. I want to know if someone else noticed something similar.
Arsalan Hasan Yes! I noticed this too, and it was the dad that “took” Luke from her at the end by convincing her ghost to let him go to the hospital
Yes, i immediately picked up on this when i saw it. That's when i thought the dad wasn't about to let the mom have Luke. She took away a twin, but she couldn't have the other one. He wouldn't let it happen again
This show had so much foreshadowing. I love it. It’s so well written.
I didn't but now I can't unsee this! Thank you for showing this❤️
As someone who struggles with suicidal thoughts, I just love Nell’s responses and words of comfort to her siblings, especially Shirley and Steve. I know a lot of people think of suicide as the cliche “Good bye cruel world” thing, but at least for me it’s more about the world being beautiful and me just not fitting into it; not living up to it. If I go, I just want my friends and family to know that it’s nothing about what they did, or didn’t do. They did answer the phone, so many times, and no, it wouldn’t have changed anything. Beautiful writing and wonderful performance.
Hey man, hang in there. Suicidal thoughts are the worst, but I just want you to know that you definitely fit into the world and live up to it, and I'm sure your family and friends would feel the same.
You have a place in this world. Everyone does.
The thing is, there truly is a place somewhere in the world for everyone. You just haven't found it yet. Not everybody agrees that life should be a 9 to 5 job. You could spend your years just hiking the tallest mountains if you wish. You could spend it rescuing baby sea turtles. You could perform in a traveling circus. There's something out there.
@@thegreyfinder What this guy said 🤙
Yo mate! U there? Talk?
"I loved you completely, and you loved me the same. That's all. The rest is just confetti." At which point I cry like a kid with a skinned knee.
Can you explain to me what it means? Cuz i seriously don't understand half of what shes saying.
MariaSandraC it means the only thing that matters is the siblings’ love for each other. All the fights, drama, heartbreak, etc. is just confetti, just little moments that sprinkle around their love. All those moments, good or bad, don’t matter because at the end of the day they all love each other completely :)
Sophia Aldous yeeep. You Peter Griffin that allll over !
"I'm scattered into so many pieces sprinkles on your life like new snow" this is so poignant and poetic
This scene hurted my heart 😭. I'm amazed of the acting, story, and development that it went through. A must watch!
Wow. You have really low standards.
Dirk Diggler She has low standards because she likes the show or because the scene made her sad?
your name is dirk diggler even if it’s fake or sarcastic you still made that ugly stupid choice airhead
you must have unrealistic standards
Dirk Diggler go fuck yourself you lowlife
This is 1000 time better than conjuring and many other movies.Such a great story
Maybe the second chapter, but not the first. This is also a 10 episode series, so it's not really fair to compare it to films that have to narrow down their stories and characters to 1.5-2 hour films
@@joshuacarpenter7447 can't agree with you. Conjuring series is a bunch of jump scares thrown inside a family-move-in story. Watched both and now I don't even remember which is which and the only characters I remember is Ed and Lorraine.
@@SudinJoseph "Bunch of jump scares"..A majority of the scares in this series were jump scares, so that's not a valid argument. This series was sad and tragic, but it wasn't scary.
@@joshuacarpenter7447 Yeah there were jump scares but they were totally justifiable ones. I was half disappointed when I saw the scene in episode 1 where Nell appears behind Steve and screams. Then after watching the full story arc of Nell, that scene totally fits into the story. If the jump scare is backed by a valid reason then I am totally cool with it. The problem with most of the modern horror films is that they put these jump scares just because it's a horror film.
And nowhere I told you it's scary. For me it was one of the most emotional drama series I have ever watched.
@@SudinJoseph They aren't "justifiable", you're just making excuses to avoid admitting that THOHH suffers from the same jump scares. This series was not scary, compared to the book that left a haunting feeling after its ending. I never said you that you did say it was scary, however you can't complain about jump scares in Conjuring but then let it slide when it's done in here.
This series went a 180 degrees different direction from what the book was.
“The rest is confetti” I got it tattooed, it explains so much in my life. Forever thankful for this show and nell
So glad I found someone who‘s as inspired by this monologue as I am, it totally changed my way of thinking about life and death
Brittany McKinney now I want that tattoo 😛
I waited until I was out of the Corps for 10 years to get 2 tattoos when most were going hog wild. I wanted it to be special to me. I got ASNF on one shoulder to honor my dad from a movie as A Son Never Forgets and USMC on the other one as I will always be faithful to a fault. Sometimes a movie can do that to you.
I don’t quite get what “the rest is confetti” means. English is not my first language. Although I think I got the point of her monologue, I wish someone would explain me this sentence.
@@ferreira8649 basically all that matters is their love for each other as a family. That’s what’s important, everything else is just extra
The entire time I was really hoping for Nellie to come back from the dead or something like that in the end. I really hoped that all of the siblings survive but in end it was all confetti. Whenever I see the scene of younger Nelle crying and saying that she was here along but no one could see her, it breaks my heart.
"Forgiveness is a warm, like a tear on a cheek... I loved you all completely and you loved me the same. The rest is confetti."
My heart...
What hits the hardest about this scene is all those who have experienced the reality shattering of losing a loved one to suicide, this gives voice to them and our hearts toward them...
Christopher Matheney Yes, I lost my mom a few years and this scene honestly broke me. Take away the ghosts and haunted house and it's still a poignant, deep story about a family trying to move on from the suicide of a loved one
I think Nelly telling Steve, “it wouldn’t have changed anything, I need you to know that”, was a very important line. I think after Nelly died, the guilt weighed heavy on Steve. So for Nell to be able to reassure him that nothing he said would’ve changed how she felt about him was so important for Nell but also for Steven to not have to let the guilt weigh on him any longer.
He seems hesitant and not knowing what to say about his apology.
I loved the series, but something I hated was that Olivia (the mom) was a psychotic even after death. Ultimately she ended up trying to kill her children. I wish her spirit was her true self rather than what the House mutated her into being in the end.
true. like if Nellie was able to come to her senses at the end, why was the mom still not herself at the end? 😑
Agreed, In life Poppy had manipulated her mind but once she no longer had a physical mind I figured her influence would ware off after death but it never did for whatever reason.
Lele V but Nellie wasn’t psychotic not like her mum. Nellie was more mentally broken. She didn’t have the same mind set as her mum.
Because when she died all she wanted to be was to be awake but when she became a ghost she was still alone in the house without her family so i think the house didn't loose effect on her because she still probably felt betrayed and lost...
Nelle tho realized the twist with the bent-neck lady and she probably realized in the end that she lost to the house which is why the house must have lost it's effect on her ^^ because she became aware of what the house did to her
I mean that's my vision of it at least ^^
It is an very accurate assessment .
Mr Locke-The reason why Olivia couldn't come to her senses and Nellie did was because out of everyone in the Crane family Olivia was obviously the most vulnerable psychologically. Because the house had used Olivia's love for her kids and her fear of what might happen to them so well that it had full control over her & had her completely convinced that the only way she could protect them from harm was to kill them herself, plus her fear of being left completely alone without the family she loves so much kept her from being able to come to her senses. In the end she was so far gone it took that conversation with her husband to finally snap her out of it.
Yeah! I figured it's like Mal from Inception prior to the ending of Inception. Where she's so convinced of a certain way that even in death it only solidifies her stance of the truth of waking up.
Actually, in the end I get confused about Olivia, almost like after dying she had two selfs. I really think i saw a pattern: when she wears the blue dress she seemed conscious and worried with her children in a good manner, for example, when she talks with Hugh at the funeral of Nell and adviced him. But specifically in some scenes at the Hill House when she wears the red dress seemed possessed and sort of devilish. Maybe we get more clues in a second season.
@@filomenapeixeiro751 if you watched the episode for example the ladt, you can hear she says to Hugh that the Olivia he was talking to (blue dress) is not her but it's created from his mind (ever since she was dead)
In the end the Father sacrificed himself so that his kids could live. Either the house was going to take them or someone else. The Father decided to die to satisfy Olivia. You can still tell by Olivia's eyes in the end that she really wanted the kids.
@@trulyblessed1902 However, I think Hugh wanted to be with Olivia and Nell, like the Dudley's wanted to die in the house so they could eternally be with Abigail and their infant. In Nell's after death speech in the red room, she talks about the red room being the stomach of the house and feeling like a monster had eaten her and she was a tiny creature.
"The rest is confetti" line is literally something I think about every day. There's so much confetti in our life and it takes up so much of our time, our attention, our soul. And yet, loving and being loved really is all that matters. Everything else really IS just confetti.
What I love here is that Nell was able to bring closure because after her death, she was released from a linear sense of time and could see many points in time at once. She was able to forgive and love her family completely because she saw the completeness of their love for her and how meaningless little disagreements became from a broader perspective. She has always existed and will always exist in the hearts of those who loved her.
Especially since I think she was angry at first (when she showed up at Steven’s place) like she went through the stages of grief till she came to acceptance and forgiveness
I cried for almost half of the episode. This scene and also carla's death, seeing her with the 2 kids made me cry like crazy
h3lldiv3r I lost it when I saw her holding her stillborn too!
Those scenes and Hugh's speech to Steven. "I was so lucky to be your dad" That one got me
Ryan Cox Same. That was hard to watch.
Me too.... I cry like little baby.....😭😭😭😭
“I’m sorry that I didn’t answer the phone”
“But you did, so many times” 😭
It hurts my heart that they must continue life without their parents and sister. I know it’s just a tv show, but the way that these episodes have been filmed is so emotionally powerful and stunning. Hands down, best and most emotional show I’ve seen.
“you have to live”
“i don’t know how to do this without you..”
“i’ve learnt a secret, there is no “without. i am not gone.”
that part broke me, them being twins and being separated just broke me
“I need you to know that forgiveness is warm, like tear on a cheek. Think of that, and of me, when you stand in the rain. I loved you completely, and you loved me the same. That’s all. The rest is confetti😌.” - Eleanor Crain
“I loved you completely. And you loved me the same. The rest is confetti.”
im not crying your crying
"I'm like a small creature swallowed all by a monster, and the monster can feel my tiny little movements inside it"
.. she said it with such pain as if she were also talking about the depression she was going through. She could no longer fight it back. It swallowed her- consumed her. She surrendered and now her soul walks to tell the story.
I'm going to be real here- I understand there's a plethora of meanings and messages hidden and interwoven throughout this beautiful masterpiece, that this whole show, and the book it was based on, is about facing past traumas and about broken family's, emotional vulnerability, etc., etc. but if you think for a second that there isn't one that stands above them all then you are wrong, dead wrong. If you don't know what the point of the show is then look at these 160 seconds. The Haunting of Hill House is a story that's main and most central message is about love. Pure, messy, angry, and sad love.
Devin Flener my favorite part of this show is the fact that it can also stand as an allegory for a family moving on and healing from trauma. I know that the haunting is "real" but even if it weren't, it would still be an amazing story about a family trying to move on from their mothers mental illness and suicide, and then the eventual suicide of their sister. Take away the ghosts and jump scares and it's still a beautiful, touching story about a family trying to love each other through a terrible trauma
This is probably one of the best shows I've ever seen on Netflix. This particular scene was so beautifully shot and emotionally acted and the script so masterfully written. I watched the whole show within a day's time and by the end I was floored by how beautiful it was. Plus the background music in this scene makes it even more emotional but my tears came when they played "If I go, I'm going" by Gregory Alan Isakov. That scene just murdered me all together....
This show has set the bar it accomplished in one season what American horror story failed to do in over 8 seasons which was to sit and actually have a philosophical sense of life and death and the connection of family !
the way she suddenly sounds so sad when she says "i am not gone." deep down she wishes her soul could be free
This series is a masterpiece. The final is heart breaking and this particular scene... the actress behind Nell deserves a recognition wow...
Nelly’s story is so heartbreaking. She deserved so much better😭
She deserved the best of everything, but got the worst of it all
Just finished watching Midnight Mass and after hearing Erin's speech I had to come back to Nell's. Mike Flanagan's characters have a way with describing life and death in a way that strikes a chord with me.
“I am scattered over your life” this scene spoke to me at such a perfect time!! After losing my boyfriend and best friend to gun violence! I was fighting back tears!!!
Man I keep coming back to this and that last line always gets me. Poor nell... I wish I could comfort her for all eternity
It's the music that gets me
Someone explain to me what the Shirley hate is about. She tried her entire life to try and keep her family together and safe and deal with her own trauma by being as perfect and in control as possible. We see her as she's tapped out and completely fraying at the edges from trying to do this for so long. She paid for Luke's treatment for years till he showed up for Nell's wedding high as a kite, she loved and looked after Nell till that last phone call, she gave Theo her guest house, was supportive of her sexuality but concerned by her promiscuity, and had a good relationship with her right up till it was revealed they all went behind her back and took Steve's money. I cant fault her for hating Steve's book, everyone else did too, no one else could afford to take such an inflexible stance on it is all.
She's just as tragic a character as any of them, trying to understand death, wrest it into submission between her hands, seeing and trying not to see, denying but also not denying. Every single one of these characters are going to pieces during the course of this show so I dont see why Shirley is the one to catch flak and while Theo is a fave. I love Theo most myself but she was the one who shut out all her siblings, left Nell when she was at her lowest, took Steve's money and judged him as hard as Shirley did, wrote Luke off and lied to Shirley while living with her. Nell was right when she said Theo had boundaries for everyone except herself. Why judge Shirley and not Theo?
I totally argee. She has played a good role as big sister. In the other hand, Theo is an interesting personality but she didn't really take care of her siblings. If someone to blame, put it on Steven. I don't like him at all.
You miss the point.Why to judge anyone? This show is about love and forgiveness. The video we've watched makes it pretty clear.
We tend to be judgmental and harsh with other people, but there is no point on that after all. "The rest is confetti" as Nell said.
I don't 'hate' Shirley, but she was selfish and cold. THHH is as much a love story as it is a horror story. Be kind to each other and nothing else. Be kind.
@@anniedusus4732 Exactly!
I know right!!!! so many people judge Steve and Shirley just because they were not as haunted as Luke or Nell or as cool as Theo. Shirley was honestly the most human character on the show, many people dont start using drugs/sex/depression to heal themselves, they just try to fix everything and move on, just like Shirley did.
"I loved you completely and you loved me the same. The rest is confetti"
This has to be the most beautiful, moving scene. "I am not gone, I'm scattered into so many pieces, sprinkled on your life like new snow..." She brought tears to my eyes.
"I learned a secret theres no without" that hit a spot and it brought tears in my eyes
This is by far, the best series I have ever watched....
"It's a tear on your cheek.... The rest is confetti...." It's about unconditional love.
Please can someone explain this?
"I loved you completely"
That took me out completely.
the fact that this wasnt up for emmys is a sin against mankind
“And the rest is confetti” I️ balled my fckin eyes out
Hannah: Tell him I love him. And the rest, well, it’s just...
Nelly: Confetti.
Nell and Luke are my favourite characters. AND.... this part made me cry; 'I learned a secret. There is no without. I'm not gone.' AGHHHH I NEED TISSUESSS
I get chills every time I watch it when she says “no not a heart, a stomach.” And also the “you did, so many times”. Also finally “everything else is just confetti”
The house tried so hard to manipulate everybody but Nell wouldn’t let it and pulled everybody out of their dream. Her last gift to everybody when they all helped her a lot of her life.
This is the most beautiful speech from a character I've ever seen. I started tearing up, when her sweet voice broke on "I'm not gone" and till the end i was bawling my eyes out
Okay, so the level of acting done in these series by Victoria Pedretti (Nell) is truly fricking phenomenal! Like, this is her very first role ever in some season or a movie but damn, her acting is so amazing. She literally made me cry.
i cant believe that this was her first gig like wow
Some just have it in them. Reason why she was hired and the Poster child
Love is the only thing that matters, The rest is Confetti..
Finally got my “the rest is confetti” tattoo inspired by this scene
The fact that this was her first professional film role…crazy
Crazy as it may sound, but I think Nelly was meant to die because if she never faced her fear, they would've continuously be flawed. She was the salvation for their guilt and fear. Like a guardian angel looking over them. So the bent neck lady was her fate.
I always come back to this scene. There is no other TV show that makes me this emotional every single time. “You have to live” “i don’t know how to do this without you” part is killing me
Ngl I want to quote her monologue as my epitaph on my grave stone "I learned a secret: I am not gone. I have been scattered into so many little pieces sprinkled all across your lives, like snow, like rain, like confetti."
Did anyone notice how Nell's voice, the tone and pitch of it at times sometimes match with the notes of the piano music in the background?
I lost my grandma on January 2021. I remember that it was snowing like crazy here in Texas. When we got the news about her passing I was eating and I looked up and out the window and it was snowing. Then I thought of what Nell said “I am not gone. I am scattered into so many pieces sprinkled on your life like new snow.” Kinda felt like it was my grandma’s way of telling me that she will take care of me and be with me.
What a beautiful connection and moment. Thank you so much for sharing. You are lovely!
I lost my cat! I know that’s not a person. But 19 years. Where I would go to when I was hurt or crying or just needed a hug:( I didn’t have anyone. I got yelled at most of the time. And didn’t trust anyone. My cat was the only one beside a scratch on my leg when he first got to my house. Beside that he never hurt me.
I started rewatching this series a few weeks ago (after having not seen it in years) and during that time my sister had passed. I eventually came back to it to finish it and this episode although it made sob (and still does) it gave me comfort.
I revisit this scene every time someone from my life dies. Here I am again, sobbing uncontrollably at “There is no without. I am not gone.”
You can think of death as another state of conscience. Although she is somehow sentient, she is not able to recollect thoughts the same way of the living. And she is struggling to mantain her physical form as she tries to speak with her siblings.
It’s an ambiguous feeling. You have the knowledge of an expanded conscience, but at the same time, your mind is confused, almost intoxicated, trying to deal with a non linear existence. That’s why she’s explaining the facts using almost the same words, the same sentences and even the same voice tone.
It's a brilliant (and sad) scene and a suberb performance of Victoria Pedretti.
Basically like being stuck in a dream.
My favourite scene in the entire show!
I've seen a lot of people in the past criticize this show for its sentimentality. I beg to differ. I think the sweetness, the sentimentality of the show is one of its biggest strengths. It made me cry, made me laugh, made me hope just as much as it made me scared.
This was so much more than a simple ghost story. It wasn't even that scary for me when i watched it but man was it so complex and human. A story about a family that are dysfunctional and love each other but can't stop hurting each other as well as themselves, that see the damage that they do but continue to do it. The psychology was stunning and i sobbed when it was over. In a weird way it helped with grief and coming to terms with the things we can't control in life. The things that scare us and cause us anxiety and pain, the things that make us build our own walls up to protect ourselves. In the end the ghosts were just the symptom of the human condition and is why i think Netflix really outdid themselves with this one.
I'm 30 years old and I feel like I've discovered a new emotion. I was so hesitant to watch this show. I wanted something scary, but didn't want to feel sad. I watch scary things to distract myself from sadness. I'm so glad I gave it a shot. It was so... much. I wish I could explain it better. But that's all I've got.
"I loved you completely and you loved me the same. The rest is confetti." A profound line from an amazing show.
This might be the most beautiful scene in all of television history
One of my favorite things from this series is when they all first see nell and she's repeating herself and this whole speach comes out
I have always loved this show.. I have rewatched this so many times...and have loved everything she says... It has hit very deep with me... And last Monday I suddenly lost my oldest brother and I instantly thought of confetti... So I shared several of these lines with my family.
My bother loved us completely and we loved him the same. That's all. The rest is confetti 🎊
I haven't been as blindsided by a twist since the Sixth Sense. The best twists hide in plain sight, and the Red Room was right there the whole time, and nobody could see it. Like Nell.
Yep those are the best twists and this is one I definitely didn’t see coming.
This is so beautiful and well done. When it’s quiet, I just think of this, and it makes me feel a strange mix of happy and sad that I’ve never felt before. I picture Nell. And I feel confetti.
The little things they did in Bly Manor as a nod to Hill House is the definition of magnificent writing.
Victoria Pedretti is one hell of an actor, she was great in bly manor and YOU
Nell telling Steve that nothing would have changed if he had helped is so devasting. She was basically telling him it wasn't his fault for what happened to her, since he carried that throughout the season.
My infant son passed away about a week and a half ago. But I watch this over and over and send it to my family members grieving him. God knows I loved him but he was a gift, as are we all. And love is all that ever matters.
This episode, this scene, her monologue - I wept like a child as I began to think about the loved ones I lost and how it pertained to my life. Powerful story, powerful characters, beautifully dark show that's been left imprinted upon my beating heart. I'll carry with me always.
I never knew a Scary Ghost Story would be such a Heartbreaking Tearjerker
I literally CRIED in this scene! Victoria Pedretti is such a great actress.
Can you believe this is Victoria (Nell)’s first professional acting job out of college? Fucking hell, she’s amazing!
Incredible show, she’s such a talented actor in this and YOU
beautiful victoria, this scene makes me cry every single time, so much talent
One thing I just thought is that I think the Red Room fantasies, their own 'rooms', represented their loneliness. They each had their own room because they could never really connect with each other. The house made sure that they would never connect be together.
I lost my brother from a hit and run, I'm the youngest, next him, and 2 older sisters. The dad looks like my dad, acts like my dad. Anyway, this couldn't be more real about grief. It comes in phases. I was closest to my brother, and he always called me first. He played with me in my room, and we all have something different to share with him. And when it rains, even if I'm inside, I stick my hand out the window. When I cry I feel the warmth on my cheek, in a weird way, this scene has helped me through a similar time. Best writer.
