This little girl is not getting enough credit for her amazing job! She deserves it. She carries the weight of making the first episode likable...and she nailed it.
She doesn't even speak another language. that sounds funny just to speak another accent is nailing hahahaha but I totally agree how weird I found when the actor changed after the episode. She acted very very well
I absolutely LOVED this scene. The little girl is chomping on chocolates, like kids do, while in a cold predator like manner talking about how she demolished everyone. Great acting!!
@@koray6261 YES im not sure why they she wasnt interviewd she did sooo good!! but maybe her parents dont allow her do interviews since shes still young but Im not sure:/
The high school chess teacher is so devoid of emotion or courtesy. I know it's a downer for the boys who are being beaten so badly at chess, but show some respect, guys. This girl has finally achieved something that makes her feel a strong surge of self-esteem.
What stands out for me in particular is how the boys acted. Most scripts would have them say something sexist or just mean to hammer the point home that they're ahole boys. But the glares were more than enough to tell us they don't think a girl should be playing with them. Show. Don't tell.
🌺 *Take on the role of young Beth Harmon, her name is Isla Johnston* *She was born for acting and I think her face looked more like Scarlett Johansson, even the last name is similar* 😄
I felt badly when the high school chess director gives her a doll. You can see her face of anticipation hoping it's a chess set, only to be utterly dismayed to lift a doll out of the box. I think that's why she chucks it into the trash with such resentment. What a shame she went so long without a chess set of her own!
I love that scene. I love the way she said Thank you very much to the director. Clearly she's disappointed but tried her best not to sound so rude with a smile.
This is the best serial Netflix has ever made. I remember watching it all night, episode after episode. When next weekend came I've started it over. From beginning.
High school arrogance I remember the chess club at our school those guys were complete ass hats. This was back in the mid-sixties. These types of guys were later known as nerds or geeks.
Wonder if she did have chocolate all over her face in that moment in, real life, or would she be a little offended that they took an easy shot at the expense of her actual more careful eating habits.
Anya Taylor-Joy, a great actress. The young Beth, Isla Johnston, was beyond cute because of her emotionless features. They both made this NetFlix movie a sensation. I wish there could be a "Gambit II" but how can you improve on beating a Russion/ Soviet GrandMaster??
Ya I wonder why they did that. She liked the chocolates but wanted to acknowledge his role in her success? ...doesn't fit her character. Maybe they would be stolen or confiscated anyway. Or maybe (I like to think) the screenwriter or director is familiar with a concept that teachers of early childhood know: extrinsic rewards (like chocolates) are overshadowed by the pure joy of accomplishment in every child's mind. Perhaps you like the scene because you know this too (subconsciously or instinctively), and appreciate the expression of the concept.
Una niña espectacular!, Me atrapó con su actuación, les confieso que el capítulo que más veo es es primero, sin olvidar que la película me encantó!....
A defense is a type of opening for black. When you go 1. E4 there are a few openers for black like the sicilian, caro kahn, etc. and some are meant to give better attacking chances. I'm betting Charles went for some aggressive defense like the sicilian or scandinavian and lost when his attack fell apart because Beth knows how to defend, which is much harder than attacking.
At the risk of sounding like a dumb kid, I wish they made a mini-series like this about Slayers_Boxer for Starcraft or perhaps Daigo for Street Fighter.
@@S0ulinth3machin3 there are lots of mini-documentaries on CZcams. He doesn't have an amazing personal story or anything, but the way he revolutionized the game is unbelievable.
This scene reminds me Derren’s Brown show when he play chess with professionals but they actually play between themselves. Here Beth is really good even if it's just fiction.
$1,000 chess sets weren’t available in the 50’s. Plus in this scene she is playing a high school team. How many high school teams do you know that play on $300 sets?
I could kind of see how she didn’t. Beth leaves the people who leave her alone. Mr. S didn’t really speak to her when they made her stop playing chess or didn’t really acknowledge her when she waved goodbye when she was adopted. So she kind of just thought he was just another person that abandoned her That’s why it hit her so hard when she came back and saw all those things because she saw that he never abandoned her. They both had really poor communication skills about what they both meant to each other.
@@jimalden9376 he sent her money for one tournament. If you read the book you’ll know more about her internal dialogue when she finds the cutouts in the basement. You’ll also understand a lot of her psyche and why she does the things she does, I.e. drink, stop drinking, stop the drugs
lel i play as a hobby since idk young, my girlfriend due to her father learned the basics around 15 shes 23 (but she really never cared to play "right")(of course i can understand that) but she was the one who aslways wanted to play since she saw i had a chess board just for fun and kill time while we drink togheter, i aaalways aaalways beat her, she used to take a lot of time to make a single move and had a lot of mistakes, like someone still learning but who knows the game, and it was funny and cute, she saw this serie and really got into it, and now i cannt beat her lmao, fuck u netflixx lmao PD: i love u trukis :3
This little girl is not getting enough credit for her amazing job! She deserves it. She carries the weight of making the first episode likable...and she nailed it.
Yes! The pilot is always very important and how you say, she nailed it! :)
I so agree. I could not a single interview on her.
@@athenacinca8657 omg wntd to see her interview and there's none, she's amazing.......got me so curious
Yes, this is the most important part. She's likable. It's not much of a show if she's just smarter.
Agree!!!
And on top of that she is actually English so she also nailed the American accent. This girl is incredibly talented. She will go far!
Are you kidding me? I had no idea!
whaaat? WOW so many of the cast is English!
Excellent Actress.
And if it wasn't a waste of a damn fine soldier, she should be sent to the officer school and be a general some day!
She doesn't even speak another language. that sounds funny just to speak another accent is nailing hahahaha but I totally agree how weird I found when the actor changed after the episode. She acted very very well
The young actress is phenomenal!
She was and so was anya

I know! She should definitely get more credit!
Yes, It is Isla Johnston.
I agree! She definitely needs more credit for this role.
I absolutely LOVED this scene. The little girl is chomping on chocolates, like kids do, while in a cold predator like manner talking about how she demolished everyone. Great acting!!
She's like " wow all of them are so noob"
Lmaooo
Let’s not forget the fact that Charles Levy got his pieces tied up in 15 moves.

she made this show great in my opinion. great character development. really dive into the character that is the great elizabeth harmon.
Isla Johnston was AMAZING in the movie. Everyone talks about the other great actors but LET’S NOT FORGET ISLA JOHNSTON.
💯
She is underrated. Although the show got high ratings they did not even bother to make an interview with her.
@@koray6261 YES im not sure why they she wasnt interviewd she did sooo good!! but maybe her parents dont allow her do interviews since shes still young but Im not sure:/
Its a mini series not a movie
@@simonjohnson6763 Your point to referring the obvious?
i just realise when she was a kid she talk about her game with mr. shaibel, and when she grow up she talk with her mother.
I love the chocolate scene for some reason lol so cute. Dangerous, but still a child.
Me too... 😆
That's exactly why I thought!! 😂
This girl’s performance was incredible
I feel like the girl needs to be recognized more ..she was good

Shes so adorable and tremendous at acting

Kudos to the chess TEACHER! So many people ignored her skills, well done.Of course, RIP Shaibel.
She did a very excellent part of the movie and very cute too.
ISLA JOHNSTON made this movie happen.
precisely
Show* and I agree
I loved that entire series. truly great work all around.
and the ending.... marvelous. full circle.
I am no fan of chess but I was hooked from the 1st episode and binge watched the entire series
You speak for millions of us!
You should give chess a try. It’s not that hard to learn and it’s actually pretty fun
🌺
*Take on the role of young Beth Harmon, her name is Isla Johnston*
*She was born for acting and I think her face looked more like Scarlett Johansson, even the last name is similar* 😄

That was the whole point of the scene,it was meant to show us the sexism female chess players go through
Hey with a chess set how would her actual genius of ceiling chess come through... good writing
@@sll255 seeing the chessboard on the ceiling isn’t ‘genius’. Plus, she wouldn’t be able to open her board at night. So ye.
Classic scene. Wiped those smug looks right off their faces.
This is the best serial Netflix has ever made. I remember watching it all night, episode after episode. When next weekend came I've started it over. From beginning.
The candy is the only prize Beth ever shared with Mr. Shaibel.
At least she gave Mr. Sheibel chocolates. Still owes him $10.
I love prodigy movies. Searching for Bobby Fischer is another good chess movie.
Umm this was a Netflix series but okay.
Uhm you chould watch Mr. Know it all
High school arrogance I remember the chess club at our school those guys were complete ass hats. This was back in the mid-sixties. These types of guys were later known as nerds or geeks.
It's random, but I love how she just gives him the chocolates, like "These are good. Aaannd my bored with them. Later." ✌️
she’s Astounding
To tell you the truth of it, child,
Young beth actress, You are astounding. ❤️
The fact she has chocolate all over her face telling how she won ROFL
Wonder if she did have chocolate all over her face in that moment in, real life, or would she be a little offended that they took an easy shot at the expense of her actual more careful eating habits.
"A few of them tried stupid mating attacks." hmmmmmmmmm
Empowered waaaamen thats so original i have never seen that before!
They were just pawns on her rise to fame.
That sounds like the wonderful hole in one message that I received. That was classy.
This is the exact moment Walter became Heisenberg
I love this series, and i love Anya in them, but the little girl is actually the best

Such a gem!!
She's nine, she'll be ten in November.😁
Young Beth is played by Isla Johnston.
Great movie!
I watched the chocolate scene over and over again.... idk why?😅
because they all underestimated her and she put them in her place. It's very satisfying to watch.
Ya I wonder why they did that. She liked the chocolates but wanted to acknowledge his role in her success? ...doesn't fit her character. Maybe they would be stolen or confiscated anyway.

So much love, courage, excellence, compassion, justice, vulnerability and maturity in a 2:15 minutes
You said it all, and in so few words. Nice economy of style, as editors used to say. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful
I was so sad when episode 2 came on, and you find out she's grown now and only in episode 1...
To be honest, this was kind of a dick move by the professor
Like Judit Polgár, the Best lady ever
A 10 year old girl in a high school. Amazing, considering this was in the 50s, this was a strange occasion
it's fiction

Why is there no interview of Isla Johnston?
Maybe someday she could start a band and make music for a movie series about vampires

Why is there no making of Isla?😭
She ended Charles in 21 moves, I wonder what opening he played 😂

Probably something very aggro and dubious because he wanted to dunk on a little kid
@@chessmentor63 lol
she played white so Charles would have played a defence not an opening
A defense is a type of opening for black. When you go 1. E4 there are a few openers for black like the sicilian, caro kahn, etc. and some are meant to give better attacking chances. I'm betting Charles went for some aggressive defense like the sicilian or scandinavian and lost when his attack fell apart because Beth knows how to defend, which is much harder than attacking.
What's the name of the movie??
Her : u can have the rest
Him : yes pls !!!!
She looks just like Scarlett Johansson!
At the risk of sounding like a dumb kid, I wish they made a mini-series like this about Slayers_Boxer for Starcraft or perhaps Daigo for Street Fighter.

Simple you just got to memorized 356,578 moves

I never understood why someone can play with such precision and eat like a slop!
"Viewers won't realize she is young unless we smear chocolate all over her face"
LAW SUIT
💕❤
Still bugs me that she never paid him back the money he fronted her…
If i remember correctly, she paid him back. But maybe im wrong
She cleared that up when, at Mr. Shaible's funeral, Beth mentioned to Jolene that she felt bad because she owed him $10.
Your looking at the captain all wrong ..
yeah well, she never played al bundy.
You get better
Celtics king s best
Too bad this is a work of FICTION..best player ever is Bobby Fisher.
Just like the US Women's soccer team being beaten by 15 year old boys.
Better not to get back if the performances are not genuine.

1:08 -- What surprised ME was how cheap that chess set looks! Those "pawns" look more like candles!
