If you love long movie reviews, you will enjoy this review of Death Becomes Her. This movie is one of my faves and is even more hilarious to me now as an adult. Helen and Madeline definitely had a toxic friendship that they held on to for FAR too long.

This was NEVER about toxic friends. This was about a refusal to let go of the past and accept things that were beyond control. Helen was trapped by her hatred of Madeline, and Madeline could not accept that she was old.

Gotta look up - Goldie Hawn tells the origional ending of the film (it was scrapped and the ending we all have seen was reshot all b4 the film got released all those years ago. I wish they'd kept that ending, it gave the movie a real meaning

@Boobalopbop Год назад

I understand why Helen wanted him back, it was just to WIN him back. She just wanted the satisfaction of knowing she could do it. Had it all worked out, she probably would have left him immediately after

@giancarlojacobs9982 Год назад

That is a very great point and I agree that she wanted to even the score with Madeline. But at the end when Helen cried at his funeral and Madeline didn't it made me think that she'd have stayed with him after winning him back. Just a thought

@tatik8682 7 месяцев назад

Nah Helen was a psychopath. I don't think she would have kept Ernest. That would be too healthy for her. I think had Helen succeeded with her narconol plan, she would have moved in to live in Madeline's house, sleep in her bed, wear her clothes, sleep with her husband. In that order of importance. And then eventually she would have had married Ernest, as soon as she legally could. Just to prove a point. And then as soon as she had that, she would have grew bored with Ernest. Moved her grudge from Madeline to Ernest now that Madeline is gone. And eventually Helen would have killed Ernest the same way, too. And remained living alone in that house in complete victory. At the age of 50. With nothing else to live for - all her goals are gone. Then she would have gone depressed and offed herself. And just like that she'd come to a surprise discovery about that beauty potion thing she took years ago! And just like that she'd end up a suicidally depressed rotting zombie that will live forever. Eventually she'd cause a public uproar and give Lisle bad publicity. And then Lisle would take care of her by burying her. Or keeping her head in a jar in some basement. For all eternity. My 2 cents of what I imagine that what if like.

@sindel545 Месяц назад

My opininon was that she was going to seduce Ernest into killing Madeline and then let him take the fall for it. If you notice, Helen didn't kill Madeline herself, she concocted a plan for ERNEST to carry out. This way, when the police find out Madeline is missing, they would immeditely suspect Ernest -- and when he tries to convince them Helen made him do it, they wouldn't believe him as nothing ties Helen to the crime, plus she's a famous author so it would be moreso seen as a case of a married man having an infactuation with another woman after seeing her at the press party, and wanting to get rid of his wife so he can persue Helen. If Ernest takes the fall, she gets revenge on them both and then gets to live her life as a hot, rich, youthful celebrity. Unfortunately for Helen, it did not work out like that!

@chicov7304 Год назад

Ernest was Trash! Not only did he leave Helen for her "Best Friend"; he was cheating on Madeline with Helen. Ernest plotted to kill Madeline, Killed Madeline, planned to cover it up, and tried to tell all them people business. And still got a happy ending. Ugh.

@zitronentee 11 месяцев назад

Seeing from other perspective, Mad was right, he was a weak man, easily swayed. He was the victim, toy, and tool to use for Mad and Hel. Only later growing backbone to get out of the toxicity. Don't many people have that phase, especially in workplace?

@Eco-pu2zs 9 месяцев назад

@@zitronentee Helen was more the victim. She truly loved Ernest once and he discarded her like trash for someone as horrible and toxic has Madeline. At no point in the movie does he show the slightest bit of remorse for how he treated her. He kind of deserved Madeline.

@nanaadusei6604 4 месяца назад

@@Eco-pu2zsi disagree she was more of a victim. She kept Madeline in her life KNOWING she was terrible. I think to an extent it was a pride and ownership thing. She desperately wanted to one up Madeline JUST ONCE and win him back simply to prove she could. She would probably discard him right after if they had successfully killed Madeline. Also her hatred was purely for madeleine she barely mentioned Ernest when she went crazy it was solely an obsession with Madeline.

@ytandbonw 11 дней назад

Ernest was definitely punished though. Living for 12 years with a woman who completely demasculated him, openly cheated on him and treated him like trash was a pretty good punishment for his poor choices. The difference is that he finally made ONE good choice in the end, which saved him - rejecting the potion. So that was his redemption.

@al4381 Месяц назад

Ernest learned from his mistake, which was the same as the women were making. It's expressed first in his profession as plastic surgeon, and then as mortician. By repenting from that mistake and learning from it, he could redeem himself and live a fulfilling life. The women were stuck in their own mindset until they literally fell apart

I will never forget my grandfather allowing me to watch this at a WAYYY too young age because "It was a comedy" and the scene where Madeline rises with the broken neck terrified me so bad, I had nightmares. I remember my mother being so angry with him because he would let me watch anything, regardless if it was age appropriate. He would let me stay up late with him on Sunday nights and watch Tales from the Crypt with him and sneak me Hershey's kisses (he called them silver bells). Years later, I saw the film and it immediately jumped to being one of my favorite films. It's so iconic. Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep were AMAZING in this film. It feels like a cautionary tale and works on so many levels. I remember watching it with an ex partner and loving every minute of the plot unfolding before them like an onion.

@joettaflyascanbee4659 3 месяца назад

This was one of my all time favorite movies but was not about toxic friends. The meaning of this movie was to let go of yesterday and understand the you of yester year is gone and will never return. We must understand that we will never look the way we looked in our twenties and if we are lucky enough to still be alive we must accept the youthful look is a rite of passage and once it's gone it will never return. Living your life obsessed with the impossible (to genuinely look like you did in your 20's at the age of 50) is a pipe dream that will never come true but will continuously eat away at you destroying the happiness you could be enjoying in your golden years.

Not about toxic friendships so much as 3 messy people. They're all awful, he just found an out. But we all know what this movie was really about... cutting edge special effects! I remember the commercials for this movie were mostly just highlighting that one's head was backwards and one had a hole in her torso. Did any of that need to be in the story, no, but it certainly piques one's interest.
