Death Becomes Her 1992 Hey what's up guys. Today I'll
show you a fantasy-comedy film: "Death Becomes Her"! Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care!
The movie begins in 1978, and an actress named Madeline,
stars in a Broadway play titled "Songbird." The audience hates it because it's dull, cheap,
and boring to the extent that they sleep on it. However, Madeline doesn't care at all because she
still performs the show enthusiastically. Among the crowd are writer Helen, and her
renowned fiancé, plastic surgeon Ernest. They watch Songbird, and Helen can't help
but feel weird that Ernest is suddenly a big fan of Madeline. When the show ended,
only Ernest gave Madeline a standing ovation. After the show, Helen and Ernest visit Madeline
backstage. Madeline is evidently narcissistic, and solely cares about her external appearance.
She flaunts her chest through her tube gown, and welcomes Helen with a faux-sweet voice
and a kiss on the cheek. Afterward, she blatantly seduces Ernest in front of Helen, where he fails
tremendously and falls under her enticing soul. Helen feels it's wrong to show Ernest to Madeline,
knowing they've been together for so long. She subtly pulls Ernest away from Madeline,
because she feels he's slipping from their relationship at that moment.
Days pass, and Ernest performs a surgical operation on a patient. Amidst his work,
Madeline spontaneously visits Ernest for dinner. After dinner, Helen confronts Ernest about having
a meal with Madeline. She's completely distressed as she knows Madeline stole hormones from every
man she loved before. However, Ernest is in denial that he's going to leave her for Madeline.
Helen purposely introduces Ernest to Madeline to test his loyalty; but sadly, Ernest fails because
not long after, Madeline and Ernest get married, leaving Helen devastated and heartbroken.
Seven years have passed, and Helen still resents Madeline down to her very bones. She becomes a
typical old cat lady in her unpaid and trashed apartment, obsessed with overeating and living
a sedentary life. She only watches on repeat the scene on the television where Madeline is killed.
the landlord visits Helen to charge her unpaid rent; but Helen doesn't
care about it. The landlord has no choice but to call the police. They later send Helen to a
psychiatric hospital for her mental treatment. Six months have passed since Helen's admission
to the hospital for therapy. Every time she talks about Madeline, the other patients scream in fear
because they're tired of hearing the same story. The psychiatrist then invites Helen
to talk privately to address her obsession with Madeline. Helen admits she doesn't want
to talk about Madeline; but it's hard not to talk about someone who ruined everything in her life.
The psychiatrist then explains to Helen that she needs to remove all
the negative thoughts and memories of Madeline to live a normal life. However,
Helen misinterprets the psychiatrist's message. Instead, she thinks it means killing Madeline.
Another seven years have passed, Madeline and Ernest live in a luxurious mansion in Beverly
Hills. However, all the riches in the world can't save their miserable marriage because
they hate each other. Furthermore, Madeline is not working anymore, and Ernest has become
an alcoholic embalmer because of Madeline. One day, The maid wakes up Madeline with a letter
of invitation from Helen's book launch, titled Forever Young. Upon hearing Helen's name, Madeline
can't help but to body shame Helen's figure. Meanwhile, Ernest suffers from constant hangovers
every morning, because he drowns himself in liquor at night to forget that he's with Madeline.
While Ernest travels to work, Madeline visits the French spa for an immediate
beauty treatment. The spa girl warmly welcomes her; but Madeline is deeply agitated and nervous
about tonight's party. She wants to do another plasma facial treatment, but the spa girl tells
her she can't do it twice within six months because it can damage her body. But Madeline
is desperate and willing to pay double just to appear beautiful and young in front of Helen.
Suddenly, the spa owner appears spontaneously the moment he hears about the money. He asks to
talk business with Madeline. He turns off the surveillance camera, and then introduces her
to a secret beauty group that can help with her beauty crisis. He gives her the address
of the mystifying Madame Young. However, Madeline doesn't believe every word he says,
and tears the business card into pieces. It's finally time for Helen's book launch,
and Madeline and Ernest arrive at an opulent venue. Madeline assumes Helen must have hired
actors to put up with the fake lavish show. Ernest sits in the bar upon getting inside. A
woman unexpectedly approaches him. She wants to thank Ernest for doing a good job at her aunt's
wake, and then proceeds to ask for his secret for making her late aunt look lively even at
her death. Ernest reveals he uses spray paint, because the corpse's skin is too dry for normal
make-up. He then explains the process of doing his work, but he stops midway when he looks
at the woman's shocked face. she feels her late aunt's body is being treated like an art project.
Not long after, Ernest rejoins Madeline at the party, to ask if she finally saw Helen. At first,
Madeline is sure that Helen is not even at the party, until the guests begin crowding
around a woman that looks like Helen. Madeline and Ernest assume Helen still
looks as fat as ever until the fat woman leaves, revealing the actual Helen. The new Helen is sexy,
hormone-radiant, and looks daring in a red gown. Madeline walks up to Helen to ascertain if it's
true, because it seems aging didn't affect her. Just then, Helen catches Madeline staring at her,
so she calls her and welcomes her the same way Madeline did to her years ago. Helen embraces her,
and Madeline masks the jealousy in her blood by forcing a smile. She's miserable inside and out,
while Helen is out there looking pretty. Helen and Madeline talk about their underlying
issue with Ernest. Helen assures Madeline that she never blamed her for stealing and marrying
Ernest. Even if it's a lie, Helen makes sure it appears genuine. she gives Madeline a smelly
kiss on the cheek, leaving a red lip stain. After that, Madeline browses Helen's book along
with the other guests. The guests wonder how old Helen is, and when Madeline reveals Helen's
in her 50s, the guests exclaim and inquire what products Helen used to look young.
right then, Madeline spots Helen dragging Ernest away from the crowd. She traces their
smelly hormones, and overhears the two talking. Helen assures Ernest that she never blamed him
for leaving her, because it's all Madeline's fault. She also brings up Ernest's current job,
and she pities that it's Madeline's fault for reducing his line of work to morgues and corpses.
Helen intentionally wants Ernest to end things with Madeline, so she can have him.
After the party, While Ernest goes to his office, and prints out a picture of him and Helen,
Madeline leaves the house to meet her toy boy. Madeline arrives at Toy-boy's home,
but she catches him cheating on her. She feels cheap for exchanging her for a nobody, but
when she sees that his mistress is so young and hormone-robust, she walks away quietly. Toy-boy
tries to comfort her with his masculine muscles, but Madeline insults him and his mistress.
Madeline hates to be reminded of her age, so she walks away crying and drives home.
The rain suddenly pours down, ruining Madeline's make-up completely. She sees herself as ugly in
the front mirror, and so she stops in the middle of the road to retouch her make-up. She searches
for products to hide her aging, but it's all useless until she finds Madame Young's address.
Desperate for eternal beauty, she visits Madame Young in her humongous castle. She meets Madame
Young, who's seventy-one years old but never grows old. Madame Young introduces a tonic
that's powerful enough to stop a person's aging process, and therefore results in an
eternally youthful appearance. Madeline is hesitant at first
because of the high price, but after Madame Young tests it on her hand,
she quickly buys it with a check. Madeline drinks the potion and waits for the effects to happen.
Subsequently, Madame Young gives her a warning. Madeline can use the tonic for years,
but she needs to disappear from the public view in ten years' time to avoid suspicions, because
no one should know their secret. Afterward, Madame Young advises Madeline to take care
of her body because they're going to be together forever. Then, she attaches a pin to Madeline's
clothes as a sign that she's part of them now. Madeline's on her way out, but she stops and
watches her old features disappear, and change into a luscious figure. She's now
young, hormone-radiant, and no longer ages. Meanwhile, Helen visits Ernest while Madeline's
away. Helen charms her way into Ernest's heart, to take advantage of his weak spot towards women.
She tempts him to do explicit activities, and they end up doing a smelly workout on the couch. Once
Ernest lowers his guard, Helen persuades Ernest to kill Madeline so they can live together.
Helen's plan is simple. They're going to sedate Madeline with an untraceable drug,
then put her in a staged accident that's supposedly caused by intoxication, before
calling the police to report the incident. Once the forensics examines her body, the only thing
they're going to find is alcohol, because the drug used to sedate her has disappeared already.
Ernest agrees to work with Helen. Helen thinks she's finally getting rid of Madeline for good.
So Helen leaves the mansion just in time before Madeline arrives home. Madeline celebrates her new
look in front of the mirror. However, Ernest is through with her, so he blames her for destroying
his life, career, and all his money. The anger inside Ernest causes him to
strangle Madeline; but Madeline begs him not to kill her. Ernest realizes what he has done,
so he lets her go near the edge of the stairs and apologizes. However, Madeline's heels are
caught on the stairs, and she asks him to help her up. Ernest is about to help her,
but Madeline shouts at him this time. Ernest returns to his angry self and changes his mind,
so he pushes Madeline off the stairs instead. Madeline falls on the ground and dies from a
broken neck. Ernest panics because he killed Madeline, so he calls Helen for help. However,
Helen isn't happy that Ernest failed to follow her thorough plan, so they think of a made-up
story before reporting to the police. Meanwhile, Madeline comes back to life. She
stands up, but her head is twisted backward. Ernest screams and staggers to the ground,
because Madeline is supposed to be dead. Madeline then asks for help to return her
head to its normal position; but Ernest is still in shock, so she does it herself.
Afterward, Ernest brings Madeline to the emergency room for examination. The doctor examines her body
and finds surprising results. Madeline is cold as a corpse. She doesn't have a pulse or heartbeat.
The doctor stutters in disbelief and runs away because Madeline is really dead.
Ernest then explains to Madeline that she just violated all of the natural laws because she's
dead, and yet still standing before him. Madeline faints because of the fact that
she's a walking corpse, while Ernest goes out and searches for the doctor. However, Ernest finds
the doctor suffered from a heart attack, and is currently being resuscitated by other doctors.
When Ernest returns to Madeline's room, a female doctor says she's been sent to the morgue. And so,
Ernest saves Madeline from the morgue, and brings her home to fix her body.
Meanwhile, Helen sneaks into the mansion to finish what Ernest started. She wants to bury Madeline,
but Ernest tells her that she's not dead, but a living miracle. Helen doesn't believe his
smelly bullshit until Madeline walks up to her to prove that she's alive. Madeline then brings
out a shotgun and fires Helen in her stomach. Helen flies in the air and lands on a pond.
Ernest panics because of the succeeding deaths in a day, but Madeline tells him that they can
bury her together. While the couple prepares the materials for Helen's burial, Helen rises
from the water as if nothing happened. Madeline approaches Helen to search for
the pin. Helen also possesses the pin from Madame Young, implying that they took the same potion.
Ernest thinks it's another miracle; but the two ladies admit that they're
alive because of a powerful potion. Ernest goes upstairs to calm his confused
heart and mind, while Helen and Madeline fight and argue over their petty issues. The two ladies
eventually realize they can't hurt each other, so they settle everything down. They admit their
faults and apologize to one another. The two ladies finally reconcile,
and coordinate to convince Ernest to fix them. However, Ernest is really done with their chaotic
personalities, so he asks them not to contact him anymore after his last service for them.
Ernest finishes fixing the two ladies on time, but it means no one's going to
fix them once he leaves. So they knock him down to bring him to Madame Young.
Ernest wakes up in Madame Young's castle, and she offers him the tonic in exchange for his surgical
skills. However, Ernest doesn't want immortality because he's going to witness his loved ones
die. So he escapes with the tonic instead. Madame Young allows him to escape because there's
an ongoing party in the ballroom hosted by the spa owner. Ernest is trapped among the immortals
in the party, so he goes to the rooftop, hoping for an escape route. Helen and Madeline chase
after him to the rooftop. They corner him; but he accidentally falls onto the edge and into
the gutter. His clothes are hanging in the gutter, and any movement can make him fall.
Madeline and Helen then see Ernest carrying the tonic, so they convince him to drink it to
survive the fall. However, Ernest knows they will only use him if he lives forever, so he allows
himself to drop. However, a large pool catches his fall, and he survives the drop. Finally,
Ernest escapes from the castle alive. Meanwhile, Madame Young ejects Madeline
and Helen from the group because of Ernest. Therefore, the two ladies must
rely solely on each other to survive. The movie ends thirty-seven years later.
Ernest died after living a fulfilling life with his new family, and making an amazing contribution
to the community. On the other hand, Madeline and Helen are hiding in the back of the chapel,
mocking and ridiculing Ernest even after he has died. They leave the church to search for a can of
spray paint because it's not in Madeline's bag. They unveil their faces, revealing cracked paint
on their rotting skins. The two ladies argue again about petty things, causing Helen to miss a can of
spray paint on the stairs. Helen falls and drags Madeline with her. They stumble on the stairs,
then their bodies crash on the curb and implode. They're already trapped in a hopeless situation,
but Helen still asks Madeline to locate their parked car!
