Death Becomes Her	comment	Imagine, for a moment, that one drink of a simple elixir could make you immortal. You would never need to worry about aging or dying; the elixir would make you young and beautiful forever, which would put you in some very good company. This only has one catch: After ten years, you must "disappear" to make sure no one figures out you've become immortal. It's a no-brainer.But imagine that your biggest romantic rival — the person from whom you might have stolen the love of her life, years ago — has already become immortal, and is trying to steal your man back. Neither of you know about the other's immortality, but both of you want to kill each other.Well, turns out that maybe it's not a good idea to even try that. Because there was actually another catch. If you don't take good care of your body, you'll have to deal with the consequences for a very long time...Death Becomes Her, a 1992 comedic Gothic Horror story directed by Robert Zemeckis for Universal Pictures, stars the trio of Goldie Hawn, Meryl Streep, and Bruce Willis as three people trapped in a love triangle that eventually turns murderous — if the people being murdered could actually die, anyway. The film is best known for its special effects, including uses of CGI that were highly ambitious for the early 90's. It won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.A musical adaptation is scheduled to premiere in Chicago on April 30th, 2024, starring Megan Hilty as Madeline Ashton, Jennifer Simard as Helen Sharp, Christopher Sieber as Ernest Menville, and Michelle Williams as Viola Van Horn.

Specifically, the trailer and many TV spots showed Helen with a hole in her stomach, thus giving away the twist that she too has taken the potion.

Helen no longer has a spine to hold her upright where the hole was blown in her - but she continues to move as if she does. If the writers considered this the way they did Madeline's head, it would throw off the rest of the story,note not to mention, create a budget-killing FX nightmare at the time so it's just better to leave it be as presented in the film. Yeah, there's no way a decapitated head should be able to talk, the lack of lungs and all.

He hits the basically-flat skylight on his back (which would minimize immediate cuts) and the window breaking reduced the force of that impact considerably while slowing down his speed enough to keep the water from killing him on second impact. In the first draft, Ernest was supposed to die in the fall, with the movie ending at his funeral.

So she can spend eternity as a disembodied head. Someone give that girl a time machine so she can erase her own birth from ever happening. The doctor who takes Madeline's vital signs after her tumble down the stairs, who's initially skeptical about her "revival", ends up needing to be revived himself and dies shortly after.

From years of immortal decay, they are in such battered and rickety shape they literally smash into pieces when they hit the ground. And they are still alive.

The first lesson: At the end, the priest giving the eulogy remarks that nobody knew who Ernest Menville was before he turned 50. He became famous, achieved success, developed new hobbies and passions, made new close friends, found true love and started a family after 50. This drives home a point that you're never too old to truly start living. The second lesson: Ernest may have passed on, but he also found "eternal life" by carrying on a legacy through his children, grandchildren and through the memories of the lives he touched and made better. That is the true way to live forever.

Case in point; Helen took the potion in 1985 and got to enjoy seven years of youth and beauty, wherein she got her life back together and managed to write a best-selling book. All that immediately went down the drain the moment Madeline and Ernest re-entered her life, and if she hadn't invited them to the premier party for "Forever Young," she'd have continued to have a beautiful body, a career, and at least some semblance of life. Lisle had a point that Ernest, an extremely talented plastic surgeon, wasted away the best years of his life while ensuring that other people stayed looking youthful.

And it doesn't help that the two women's rivalry makes them tiresome in his eyes. Towards the climax, he's come to a place where he recognizes that the potion wouldn't really make him happy, but simply damn him to eternity with Madeline and Helen. In the end, after his death, his eulogy implies that he developed many redeeming qualities long after his youth and looks faded.

Plus, immortal or not, you still have to be careful of your health or any physical accidents, because you will 'survive'.

Death Becomes Her / int_973d220f	comment	Never My Fault: Neither Madeline nor Helen are willing to accept any responsibility for the bad things that happen in their lives, endlessly blaming each other and any other excuse they can come up with. A key example for Helen is her telling Ernest she still brought him to Madeline's play despite fear he'd fall out of love, because she wanted to apply the "Madeline Ashton" test to see if he was true to her. On two levels does Helen tragically neglect to realize this is on her. First, if her past experience taught her that Madeline steals her lovers without fail, then perhaps common sense would dictate she shouldn't have introduced her fiancÃ© to her hated rival to begin with. She had a choice to not go through with it at all. Second, when Ernest does fail the "test", she sees it more as an excuse to obsess over her hatred towards Madeline for the next 7 years (and then some), instead of realizing that perhaps her past lovers weren't worth it if Madeline could sway them so easily.

And in the subsequent scene where Helen visits Ernest to discuss killing Madeline, sharp-eyed viewers will see that she's been wearing a pin in the same place as Madeline, since the book party. It's soon revealed she took the potion as well. Lisle's warning:

That means no outside contact with other people save other immortals, with whom companionship is not guaranteed, basically forcing an exile less the secret of eternal life is revealed to the wider world, and everyone knows isolation can result in maddening boredom. And the thing about eternal life is that you cannot escape it, ever.

Ernest realizes that becoming immortal to spend eternity alongside them would be his own fate worse than death, and indeed, chooses death in favour of it. He survives to live a happy life free of them, though only as a result of rejecting them.

This happens to Ernest as well, though in the opposite way. With the tolls of his alcoholism behind him and his skill as a surgeon restored (both implied to be the effect of the small dose of immortality serum he was given), he runs away and ends up an accomplished philanthropist dedicated to fixing the mistakes of his own youth, helping others and starting a family... all after the age of 50.

Helen claimed she took the potion on October 26th, 1985 — a date in which another extraordinary event occurred in another Robert Zemeckis film. Helen wants to "completely erase" Meryl Streep's character, something Roseanne Barr's character wants to do in She-Devil. Elvis Presley attends Lisle's party, as does Jim Morrison in a Freeze-Frame Bonus. Also, Ernest passes by James Dean at the door. Songbird! is a reference to a similar hotel musical scene from 1978's Sextette, though Madeline sings and moves a lot better than 87-year-old Mae West. The mass walkout from the theatre in the opening scene is reminiscent of The Producers.

Death Becomes Her / int_ec7da60a	comment	Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Marc Chagall (the spring celebration emcee), Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol, James Dean, and Jim Morrison are among several noted "dead" celebrities seen in the gathering of immortals. Greta Garbo is also mentioned as being among their ranks.

Death Becomes Her / int_f25c69a1	comment	We Could Have Avoided All This: Madeline and Helen do reconcile their differences, admitting they were secretly jealous of each other since they were kids. Had they hashed it out before taking the potion, they wouldn't be dead or have completely alienated Ernest, whom they realize they need to maintain their bodies after all the damage they did.

Death Becomes Her / int_f3d84bc4	comment	Giftedly Bad: Madeline's acting career never goes anywhere due to this, because while she's pretty, she's just not that good. As a result, when she begins to age and her looks fade, her career fizzles out, as she has no actual talent to fall back on. (In a meta sense, the viewer may find some comedy in this casting, since Streep is one of the most lauded actresses in the industry.)

Death Becomes Her / int_f64a9cf7	type	Earn Your Happy Ending
Death Becomes Her / int_f64a9cf7	comment	Earn Your Happy Ending: After Ernest escaped, he managed to find happiness in the following 37 years and truly atoned for his misdeeds. He found love, had children, had a thriving career and newfound fame, developed fulfilling hobbies and devoted his time to helping people realize that getting older was not the end of the world — and he opened an AA chapter and two clinics, to boot. When he does die, Madeline and Helen arrive at his funeral dressed all in black and mock most of the eulogy, even though they're pretty much badly-painted, barely-holding-together corpses.

Death Becomes Her / int_f8e010ce	type	Evil Cannot Comprehend Good
Death Becomes Her / int_f8e010ce	comment	Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Lisle and company are genuinely puzzled when Ernest refuses the potion. They are too self-centered and shallow to care about the reasons he has for not wanting to be immortal. Similarly, Helen and Madeline later mock the eulogy at his funeral which says that while Ernest has died, his legacy would live on and it was through his family, friends and good deeds that he had achieved immortality.

Death Becomes Her / int_fbd285b7	comment	Comically Missing the Point: More "dark comedy" but the end has Helen and Madeline gloating about how they're still alive when Ernest is dead...ignoring that their "lives" are now as grotesque creatures who no doubt have to hide their true identities while Ernest lived a long and happy life with a family and legacy to remember him. And that's before they end up in pieces at the bottom of the steps.

Death Becomes Her / int_fc225bec	type	Artistic License â€“ Physics
Death Becomes Her / int_fc225bec	comment	Artistic License â€“ Physics: The Brick Joke regarding stairs. When Madeline (and then later, Helen) is about to tumble down the steps, she seems to barely keep balance using the bottom of her heels even though the majority of her weight was leaning toward the stairwell. In reality, it wouldn't necessarily take a Mythbusters episode to conclude that someone would automatically fall in that situation. This possibly was just a minor Slapstick gag Played for Laughs given the tone of the story. There is no way Ernest survives falling through a stained glass window from several stories up at Lisle's castle.

Death Becomes Her / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: Ernest mentions that since makeup doesn't properly adhere to dead skin, he has to use flesh-colored spray paint on cadavers. After being physically dead for 37 years, Mad and Hel need to carry some around to cover their decaying flesh. One of them drops some, which Hel trips on and takes Mad with her down a flight of stairs. Falling down a flight of stairs is another brick joke as well, with one party deciding not to help the other from taking a tumble.
