- We're gonna talk about the spoilers in "Sweet Girl."
So if you haven't seen it, leave, go watch it.
Come back.
But get out of here 'cause we're gonna talk about spoilers.
- This is "Spoiler Alert."
(sirens blaring)
- Hi, I'm Jason Mamoa, and I play Ray Cooper.
- Hi, I'm Isabela Merced, and I play Rachel.
- Hi, I'm Brian Mendoza, and I directed the film.
- Are we doing the twist?
Am I telling all the twists and shit now?
I play Ray Cooper who is the father of Rachel Cooper.
- I play Rachel Cooper.
It's not Ray Cooper's Rachel.
It's like a Will Smith, Willow Smith moment.
- Ooh, that's weak.
- Buck that wrist up so it don't get weak.
- It won't!
- The biggest spoiler in "Sweet Girl" is its sweet girl!
She's Cooper.
She's the one that kills everyone.
(men grunting)
- I have some mental health issues
that have not been addressed
so I go around
killing people for revenge.
(ominous music)
- I'm dead in the very beginning of the film,
along with her mother.
I'm just a ghost, I'm just in her mind.
She's went cuckoo.
- She kind of disassociates from her
and her father as being different.
They become one in order for her to like deal with it,
and deal with the trauma and move forward.
So I think it's actually quite reasonable,
but from an outsider's perspective,
it does seem a little bit crazy.
- You know, that was the first time
I ever had to like pull back on anything
that I would normally react with.
Because even when the fight scenes take place,
I can't do it how I would do it.
You know, they'll see me
when I'm holding the knife to his throat,
I'm really bent down.
But I'm basically doing the splits 'cause
he's not that tall of a guy,
but I want it to be like, it is her.
You were warned.
If anything happened to her, I would hunt you down.
Oh, I made her suffer,
but she died because of you.
- They specifically made these scenes for a smaller person,
so even if it was Jason fighting,
there was still martial arts incorporated
that required a lot of rolling
and a lot of wrestling in a way,
because that's the only way that a person of my size
would be able to overpower guys of that size
is with those slick, kind of subtle martial arts moves.
(dramatic music)
- I think there's these things that lead up to it that
we designed to sort of be these nuggets of like,
something's not right, but I don't know what it is.
- I always liked that one,
that breadcrumb where we're in the diner,
we walk out and him saying, "Rachel, I'll see you soon."
And it's just like the camera angle.
It's just on her
and just on her haunted face, looking at him.
- Yeah, there's another one I really liked too.
Where like Manu shoots the guy.
- You're nothing but a scared little -
- Before he shoots him, he's like,
"You're just a scared little -"
Boom! Gets cut off.
And you're like, what was he gonna say?
Well, he said it, he said the whole plot.
I hope she
is in therapy.
And that's all I hope for her.
(laughs)
I hope she's just living her best life.
- She's on her way to something better.
You know that for sure.
Hopefully she's on her way to peace.
And she feels like she's fulfilled this part of her journey.
- [Ray] Parents and their children.
Where do we stop?
- [Rachel] And they begin?
