Why Do We Love "Death Becomes Her"?
1992 sci-fi dark comedy Death Becomes Her, an outrageously entertaining genre-bending cult classic starring Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn and Bruce Willis. We'll explore why this film continues to captivate and delight audiences decades after its release.
First, we'll unpack the wild, witty plot that sees rival actresses Madeline Ashton and Helen Sharp attain immortality through a mysterious potion, only to discover their bodies no longer heal and instead decompose in darkly comedic ways.
Next, we'll analyze the groundbreaking CGI and visual effects that enabled Death Becomes Her to showcase some of the earliest photorealistic computer-generated representations of the human body on film. The innovative effects open the door for the movie's twisted comic imagination.
We'll also discuss how the outlandish premise acts as the perfect vehicle for biting satire and commentary on society's obsession with chasing eternal youth and maintaining external beauty at any cost. Death Becomes Her holds up a funhouse mirror to image-fixated Hollywood and consumer culture.
Finally, we'll appreciate the outstanding lead performances that sell this preposterous concept and lend emotional truth to the absurdity. Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn dive into their vain, bitter rival characters with aplomb, while Bruce Willis anchors the cast with his patented exasperated deadpan.
