*DEATH BECOMES HER* (1992) Movie Reaction | First Time Watching!!!

[@ezelldaniels6064]

I didn't expect you to react to this film man I never clicked so fast 😂 this movie is so damn timeless. One of my favorite films of all time.

[@-M0LE]

Ditto

[@adrubal]

Helen says she drank the potion on October 26th 1985... That's the same date Marty went back in time in "Back to the future" (another Robert Zemeckis movie )😉

[@XanArt21]

In the theatrical trailer you can see Madeline arriving at the beauty Salon and she parks her car behind a Delorean. Sadly the scene was cut.

[@sweetwentworth]

Wrong. It was November 5, 1955. What are you drinking?

[@sydneybristow5588]

"Now...a warning." "NOOOW..A WARNING?!?" 😆 🤣 😂

[@torontomame]

My favourite Meryl Streep delivery of all time. 👏😂

[@sydneybristow5588]

@@torontomame Mine too. Second favorite is between the "cerulean blue" quote and the "you have no style"...." no, no, that wasn't a question" quote from Devil Wears Prada.

[@MegaWicked89]

The actress who plays Lisle is Isabella Rossellini, the daughter of Italian film director Roberto Rossellini and Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman.

[@richardyett3985]

I worked on this film and it was fun. I was a valet at the beginning who opened the door for Meryl Streep & Bruce Willis. I also was one of the clients that took the potion in the shot with Marilyn Monroe & Andy Warhol & Bruce. The film shows the youth obsession and Hollywood culture very well.

[@Mike-rk8px]

When I saw this movie in 1992 I was 12, and I never laughed so hard at such dark comedy. When Madeline begins loudly telling Ernest that he’s “flaccid” the audience was in hysterics. Being a 12 year old I had no idea what “flaccid” meant, but because all of the adults were cracking up, I began yelling “flaccid” in the car on the way home to make me parents laugh, and they not only didn’t think it was funny, they had to explain to me what it meant,

[@auntvesuvi3872]

My friends and I love this one, Oliver! 😆 After 'Madeline' drinks the potion and 'Lisle' says, "And now, a warning." Then 'Madeline' responds, "NOW a warning?!" That always cracks me up!!!

[@richardyett3985]

When I worked on the book party scene as the valet, Bruce Willis played a little trick on me. When Willis and Streep's limousine pull up the the book party, the camera is in the vehicle and suppose to pan them getting out of the car after I open it, but Bruce locked the door so when they pulled up I couldn't open it when the Robert Zemeckis called action. Willis laughed and pointed at the door lock, but I thought maybe I had done something wrong. The second take went smoothly and we only had to do 2 takes.

[@furtherback6131]

Good lord, only now do I realize how much The Substance (2024) takes from Death Becomes Her (1992)!

[@dianem8544]

As a lot of people are saying, the sexy woman at 15:15 is Isabella Rossellini, whose mother is Ingrid Bergman. To connect the dots, a couple of years ago, you saw Ingrid as the female lead in Casablanca, co-starring with Humphrey Bogart. Thanks for doing this movie, I love it. Good eye for the mirrors, and as the movie is about the unnatural preservation of beauty, it's very fitting.

[@hackerx7329]

This movie was truly a special effects masterpiece.

[@lazyatthedisco]

Yes, this movie was a staple for a long time at the Oscars when showing special effects movies.

[@FilmBuff54]

Just realized that the liquid pink potion in this movie is kind of reminiscent of the bright neon green serum in “Reanimator.”

[@JoeStead-i1v]

Bruce Willis had a hit detective series called Moonlighting in the 1980's...and he had hair!!!

[@All_Access_Passes]

In case no one caught it, when Helen was asked when she took the potion, she said "October 26, 1985." That is the date Marty McFly went back to the future in that amazing classic film, also directed by Robert Zemeckis.

[@lesliedaubert1411]

Notice the nicknames the 2 ladies have for each other. " Mad " and " Hell ".

Together the trio are Mad Ern Hell (madder than hell)

[@sitcomsTV]

this movie is brilliant head to toe

[@baronvg]

This movie was one of the first Laserdiscs I bought, sight unseen. Maybe people just don’t get or want to get it’s black comedy. I think it’s great and almost like a secret feature length Tales From the Crypt movie.

[@XanArt21]

And now it's on 4K! ❤

[@XanArt21]

45:00 They deleted a scene (involving mirrors) with Madeline having sex with Dakota (before she goes to the beauty salon... notice that Ernest and Madeline leave the house in the morning and then suddenly it's three o'clock). In this scene both Madeline and Dakota complain about their issues.... he is looking in a mirror complaining about some excess fat on his tummy and Madeline is complaining about having to face Helen that evening while she keeps on looking up at the ceiling. Then in one of the last shots we see she has been looking at herself in a mirror placed on the ceiling all the time. She then spots a big line on her cheek, she freaks out and starts shouting at Dakota cause she told him before 'No pillowsss!' And he rolls his eyes. You can see some of the mirrors in the bedroom in the later scene when she goes to him (again). Sadly the sex scene was deleted. ------- Helen's suitcase with the Madeline obsession shrine has a mirror in it as well. This thing was never seen again in the final cut but in the original cut of the film Ernest comes to the hotelroom and Helen needs to get rid off it fast so she packs it up hysterically and throws it all into another room. Sadly that was cut as well. Notice that before when Helen is in her 'Just Do It' Nike shirt it must have been printed mirrored cause we can read it correctly yet it's the reflection.

[@sitcomsTV]

i sawit with that scene on it

[@nicktechnubyte1184]

The ending is absolutely perfect 👍 One of the most satisfying endings ever made!

[@aubreyphotog]

Did you ever see the Goldie Hawn interview where she describes the original ending?

[@XanArt21]

The original ending may feel a bit twee at the start with Ernest and his wife at old age sitting in a park in Switzerland but it ends in a haunting way with Madeline & Helen watching them and as the film faded to black their faces turned to skulls leaving the audience with a last eerie look at the eternal ladies. Some of the concept artwork for the film used these skeleton looks of the ladies for poster ideas.

[@pirbird14]

I've never been a Bruce Willis fan - he's always been too full of himself for my liking. But this is such a completely different role than what I've seen him in before. Shows he's not just a character actor.

[@XanArt21]

It's out on 4K tomorrow! Hopefully they'll release the 2hr version in the future. The movie was changed last minute so there are a lot of scenes missing. Here are most of them in chronological order: The actual Wedding ceremony, where Madeline grabs Ernest's crotch. Madeline informs Ernest about the bookparty and threatens him to not get too chummy with Helen. Madeline has sex with Dakota at the cabana, before she freaks out and goes to the beauty salon. Ernest meets up with his good 'friend' Toni (played by Tracey Ullman). At his favorite neigbourhood bar (she is a bartender there). Rose fixes Madeline's dress and Ernest has cut himself shaving before they go to the bookparty. Madeline's agent Jay gossips about her with a Starlet. Ernest meets up with a guy he did plastic surgery on back in the day. Madeline meets up with Jay Norman and grills him about him not getting her any new gigs. After Madeline returns home from taking the potion Dakota calls her to make peace and eventually she does forgive him. Ernest is fuming in the doorway but Madeline kicks the door shut. Ernest bumps into a dead priest on a slab at the morgue. Ernest sticks Madeline in the freezer at home before he goes out to get supplies. Ernest & Helen meet up at the Four Seasons Hotel to revise their plans but Ernest chickens out. The maid finds Madeline frozen in the freezer in the morning. Madeline eventually gets taken out by Ernest and she goes round the house acting like its a new beauty routine gone wrong. (You can see this in the trailer!) Helen exercising while a bellhop brings her maps of Death valley and then shopping for the burial hardware and a clerk implies she has killed someone. After Helen & Madeline have made up after their fight Helen tears out the shovel handle and gets upset. So Madeline brings her a glass of water but it goes right through her upsetting her even more. Lisle tells Ernest she is in fact over 600 years old and she killed Lincoln, Shakespeare and Max Factor cause they refused to take the potion. Lisle arrives like the pope at the Spring Party as Ernest hides in an alcove behind her. She welcomes the crowd and then tells a cheap joke. Ernest falls into the pool and then sees the intact potion vial floating, he grabs it and takes off. Lisle tells the women they better get the potion back or otherwise she will bury them six feet deep. Ernest arrives at his neighbourhood bar and shows his friend Toni the potion as a drunk guy watches them. Madeline and Helen arrive at the house and start to search for Ernest. Ernest asks Toni to get the potion to the Times and he needs an escape plan. Then the drunk dies in front of them. (This is in the trailer) Since the dude is always at the bar and has nobody they decide to use his body as a 'dead Ernest' so they switch his clothes to fool Mad & Hel. Mad & Hel meet in the foyer at the home and realise where Ernest has gone when they see the liquor cart. They run to the door. Mad & Helen arrive at the bar as Toni (fake crying) comes out with the cops (This is in the trailer as well!) and when Mad almost lifts the sheet of the dead body Toni panicks so Ernest throws the potion to her and she hands it to the women to distract them. Mad misidentifies the body and they take off. Ernest got away with it but is sad he can't expose the cult. 27 years later ending in Switzerland. Ernest enjoying his old days in a park with Toni... Mad & Helen sit on a balcony, still looking stunning, but, plagued with deadly boredom. Mad ridicules the old man in the park as he touches the old hand of his wife with his still young looking hand. Helen looks at the couple with longing. As the camera fades out on the Eternal Ladies their faces turn to skulls for a second (a la the end of psycho)

Love this movie so much! And glad you agree the opening number is actually good. It’s supposed to be “bad” in the context of the movie but I’d be clapping like Bruce Willis if I had been there. 😂

Hi Olly! Here's some recommendations starring Bruce Willis' HAIR (or its stunt double): Hudson Hawk; the Jackal; the Kid; Striking Distance; 16 Blocks; and the Last Boy Scout. ;)

[@sitcomsTV]

Well spot the mirror thing. Its a metaphore I guess, as all movies like to establish a paralel between vanity and mirrors. That's were you look into to spot wrinkles, to feel good about your appearance... The mirrors are a pressure presence remembering one expects your reflection to be young and attractive.

[@johnheale6000]

One of those films where they'd have a making of the effects on television every other day

[@cruzuvalle9845]

This is such a cult classic!! I’m so excited for your reaction ❤❤❤

[@donkelly4718]

Yes, its an actual job that exists, he's a Mortician, and their job, obviously, is to make corpses look presentable for funerals, and to perform cremations(burning bodies of those who don't wish to be buried), and, since thousands of people die everyday, its hardly a neich job, and not really weird, though, I suppose on that count at least it would take a certain type of person.

Watching this movie in the cinema back then as a teenager caused me a heavy long-term crush on Isabella Rossellini. 😍🤪🤪

[@theatergeek82]

[@MegaWicked89]

@@theatergeek82 Yes! And I heard it got rave reviews during its Pre-Broadway run in Chicago! And for those asking if they are doing any of the effects that we saw in the film (like the hole in the stomach and the twisted head) and how they will make it happen: I can't say how they're going to do all that, but I will say yes they are doing them!

[@mildredpierce4506]

Did Ollie think that was Marilyn Monroe on the cover of the playbill? That was Meryl Streep.

[@NHarts21]

This is one of my all-time favorite movies!!! It's such a classic horror comedy!

[@BennyFordPerfectlySafe]

The unique quality that this first time reaction has to its advantage is that Ollie is completely unspoiled by the hype of effects back in its day, or the poster, or the trailer or the media coverage that put all of the twists right out there upfront and center. So 99.9% of people who have seen DBH are aware of all the big twists going in. So they really don’t enjoy the first act because they are waiting for the other shoe to drop and think the first act is a bore or a waste. One of the best qualities about this movie is how well it plays out and unfolds if you ever watched it completely blind going in. It’s truly wonderful to see his reaction to Death Becomes Her in a way only the director or cast could appreciate. Here is a link to the Siskle & Ebert review from back in the day. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3LToXmdhJ2Ins0si=QzE1FxcjqUgpCjYM Here’s the trailer that left in many of the deleted scenes in the trailer. Rumored that all the deleted footage has never been found. The main point being all of the spoilers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iojUkqyBbLeYnrMsi=U-UMdQ9W3dy3SjGS Now I had never noticed all of the mirrors or the theme of mirrors until Ollie pointed that out. Vanity would be the main theme between the mirrors and the characters obsessed with their vanity. Reflections, self image, projections are all in there as well. Among the many impersonations of dead celebrities at Lisel’s soirée was Andy Warhol. Elvis always was a spotlight hog. This is a very special reaction for me and I can’t thank Ollie enough for (pardon the pun) seeing to it. It’s fun to be a little unsafe from time to time and make something that is nothing short of great. That makes a more well rounded Ollie that I know is no square. Coming soon pitchforks torches and Cry-Baby 💧

[@kate_cooper]

I always liked this film, it's crazy and a lot of fun but also makes some serious points. Sounds like you got it and understood the messages pretty well.

[@ryansullivan4298]

Few people know that Oliver Putnam directed the play in the beginning. Ha!

[@centurycountess4949]

I love this movie but I always wondered if Lisa the one who sells the potion rethought her client initiation policy. also, if the potion could restore their youth and reverse aging, what would it do if taken again could it reverse the damage?

[@XanArt21]

In the original cut of the film the 3rd act was about retreiving the potion bottle from Ernest (he actually found it intact in the pool). Lisle threatens the women on the steps of the castle if they don't get it back she will bury them six feet deep. After Ernest stages his death at his neigbourhood bar (along with his friend Toni played by Tracey Ullman) the women retreive the vial. When the movie jumps 27 years the women are still stunning yet... still puckering on their backs. Helen even comments that Lisle's guy 'ain't no Ernest!'. So they never took another potion to 'heal', they just had someone else to fix them up. This was all cut and reshot with a simpler 3rd act and ending.

[@channelthree9424]

Even though Bruce Willis had hair, he was wearing a wig for this movie

[@BigGator5]

"Til death do us part! Well, you girls are dead. And I'm parting." Fun Fact: The film's budget was $55 million. That's Hot Fact: Catherine Bell was Isabella Rossellini's nude body double. Casting Notes Fact: Sydney Pollack portrays the E.R. Doctor in an uncredited role. This is the first time that he and Meryl Streep had worked together since Out Of Africa (1985). Automatic Pushup Fact: A pneumatic bra was built to create the effect where Meryl Streep's breasts become higher and firmer after drinking the potion, but the effect didn't look realistic enough. In order to get the shot, Streep's dresser stood behind her, out of sight of the camera, and pushed her breasts into position. CGI Over Practical Fact: Meryl Streep wasn't thrilled that the film relied heavily on visual effects. Streep claimed that shooting the film was like "going to the dentist" and states that the film is her first, last, and only VFX-driven film. Yet it wasn't. In the scene where Helen (Goldie Hawn) sits down onto a shovel handle, she didn't sit in the way she was expected to. So the VFX people at Industrial Light & Magic had to morph the image to make it look like the shovel handle was going through her chest. Original Ending Fact: There was a different filmed end than appears in the theatrical version. It involves Tracey Ullman's character, Toni, helping Ernest (Bruce Willis) in a ruse of faking his own death in order to get away from Madeline (Meryl Streep), Helen (Goldie Hawn), and Lisle (Isabella Rossellini). The plan worked and the two ended up running away to Europe to start a new life together. Many years later, Madeline and Helen, both parodies of their former selves, with cracked, peeling paint and putty covering most of their grey and rotting flesh, are on vacation in Switzerland, yet they are completely bored and miserable. They notice an elderly couple being affectionate and they become envious of them. As the couple gets into a car and drives away, Madeline and Helen realize it's Ernest and Toni and chase after them, only to be hit by an oncoming car and break into pieces.

[@XanArt21]

Get your facts right... don't copy them. The women NEVER go after Ernest and Toni in the original ending. The Eternal ladies watch them from their balcony and during the film's fade out their beautiful faces turn to skulls for a second. They never chased them or broke apart.

[@MGrayl-ib5fo]

[@vananderson2895]

Okay, going to recommend another dark comedy for you: Death to Smoochy. Robin Williams, Edward Norton and Catherine Keener as the leads, with Danny DeVito, Harvey Fierstein, , and a pre-Daily Show John Stewart in some seriously incredible supporting roles.

[@ThomasReeves-s7u]

I'm old enough to remember Bruce Willis's early days on Moonlighting. So him with hair is not that odd to me. (Also didn't he have hair in the Fifth Element or am I misremembering?) What an odd movie, but people love it.

[@Shilohpreston]

Hi, Ollie, before I share my thoughts about the movie and Your reaction with You, I'll tell You about title of this movie in my country Poland. The polish title is "Ze śmiercią jej do twarzy", what means "Death Suits Her" or literary "With Death Her To the Face". Well, about this movie, this subgenre is calle Black Comedy. "The biggest hit" back in the days about this movie was hole in Isabella Roselini's belly. As for me, the character I liked was actually Ernest, as he was a victim of his own reckless actions and for a long run, among the main characters, most normal person among them all. Alan Silvestri was actually working with Robert Zemeckis many times (23 in total). If you want to see other motion pictures, where Bruce Willis had a hair, I recommend tv series "Moonlighting" (1985-89), translated to polish as "Na wariackich papierach", what means "On Crazy Papers".

She-Devil is Meryl's best 80's movie

[@sfkeepay]

The pressure to be beautiful has long been more intense for women, but it’s incredibly important for men too. It’s just that our particular culture only allows it to manifest in specific ways. Patriarchy, which was augmented by certain ideas cherry picked from religious traditions, worked to objectify and control women, while urging men to be available more as interchangeable cannon fodder. That established power structure actively amplified natural competitiveness, urging men to see each other more as rivals, rewarding aggression and, at times, even lauding brutality, while heavily discouraging and punishing emotional connections between men, and banishing the recognition of a hierarchy of male attractiveness under the threat of being labelled homosexual - which was likewise structured to be the worst thing possible. But better looking men have always had more power in society, more privileges, more assistance and patronage, more favors and deference. It’s just that it was taboo for men to discuss it and, in fact, even to think about it. Things have been changing over the last few decades, though unfortunately, not for the better. Women are still heavily objectified and stratified by appearance; it’s just that men are increasingly under the same pressures. Corporations can’t much commercialize self-acceptance, inner beauty, or attractiveness based as much on personality as it is a square jaw and perfect, shockingly white teeth. No….commerce and quarterly earnings dictate men should be just as objectified, monetized, and desperate to conform to a narrow and nearly unobtainable set of physical parameters. And not so they can reach some zenith of popularity or power. More and more, it’s just to be acceptable in public life. It’s just incredible how absurd things are getting. Just one example: it used to be that only professional bodybuilders and competitive athletes used steroids. Now, half the men in any given gym do, and it’s not for some positive reason. It’s for fear of being excluded, a fear of inadequacy, a fear of missing out on some heavily-promoted fantasy life. This is no way to structure a healthy society, and no world for the next generation to inherit.

Not every movie has to have a big philosophical message behind it.A lot of movie from the 80s and 90s are just silly films about having fun. This is one of those films.

[@XanArt21]

The original cut of the film is definitely more philosophical, it was a half hour longer and what you see is a way more scrappy shorter version made out of that. They removed a ton of scenes very shortly before the release. The last two scenes of the film are reshoots (where the cheesy humor gets upped a notch)... Originally Ernest found the potion vial intact in the pool and thats why the women go after him cause he is going to expose them all (Ernest shouts this to Jim Morrison). Originally Ernest flees to his neighbourhood bar and stages his death. His girlfriend Toni (Played by Tracey Ullman) who works there saves him by dressing up a dead client in Ernest's clothes to fool Mad & Hel. This whole subplot with Toni was removed. The original ending was 27 years later and Ernest is an octogenarian and happy with his wife in a park in Switzerland. Mad & Hel are there also sitting on a balcony, still looking stunning but plagued with deadly boredom. They can't even get excited by the beautiful location they are at. Madeline ridicules Ernest for being so old but not Helen she longs for a mortal life now... and watches the couple. As the sun sets Ernest touches the hand of his wife with his still young hand. The eternal ladies watch them and as the movie fades to black their beautiful faces turn to skulls for a second. The movie has more than 30 deleted scenes. Most of which were in the original cut.

[@devilkyn1]

@@XanArt21 That's interesting and I'll take your word for it. I do still think my point stands that they "dumped" all that philosophical stuff and opted for the cheesy humour as they felt the audience would respond better. i have to say, more than 30 years later Oliver and many others are still watching/reacting to this movie so if feels like perhaps it was a good call to leave everything you mentioned on the cutting room floor. Of course the original version may have done well, but we'll never know.

[@XanArt21]

​​​​​​​​@@devilkyn1 Well I dont know, I heard people did like the ending since it was more melancholic and haunting. There is much more sense of a gradual resolve. Now it's extremely choppy. They could at least make an extended version with stuff that didn't involve that whole removed subplot cause I think many people 'feel' there is stuff missing. (Watch the theatrical trailer to see some parts of those scenes) There was a hilarious scene with Madeline all frozen cause Ernest stuck her in the freezer overnight. Basically 24 hrs of events were cut after Helen spies on Ernest at the Mortuary... Ernest and Helen meet at the Beverly Hills hotel... Ernest chickens out about Helen's burial plan and Helen starts fuming. Then there is the whole morning scene with the maid finding Madeline stuck in the home freezer and Ernest wakes up and gets her out. They act like its just some experimental beauty treatment gone wrong. They fire the maid and Ernest pulls Madeline up the stairs promising her to make her look beautiful again. Then there was a scene with Helen exercsising in her hotel receiving maps of death valley and then her shopping for the burial stuff. At the checkout the clerk asks her if she wants a headstone to go with all her suspicious stuff and she bursts out laughing. They could add Lisle's 2 deleted scenes as well... in one she explains she is actually more than 600 years old and killed Shakespeare and Lincoln cause they refused the potion. And in the other she arrives at the Springparty and tellls a joke to the crowd as Ernest hides behind her in an alcove.

[@egglady]

This movie was definitely intended to be a satire of celebrities’ obsession with youth and staying young. The messages are there even in the recut version.

[@devilkyn1]

@@XanArt21 I guess we all see what we want to see. For me, there a re a lot of films from the 80s and 90s that are just a fun watch. It's not about analyzing the dialogue, or finding a deeper social meaning, or provoking self discovery through the lense of media. Sometimes it's just a cute concept with some timely jokes that makes me feel good for an hour and a half and then you move on.

I believe you have to read a bit more about how Rotten Tomato rating works, so you are not mislead by those numbers.

[@BunBun299]

Women's beauty standards are in reality enforced by other women. Most men are attracted to most women. We do have a bias towards younger women, early twenties, because we all instinctively know that women are at their most fertile at that age, and we're wired to desire a mate who can give us offspring. But, most men will be just as happy with a pretty tomboy as they would be a model. It's other women who social policy what makeup, hairstyles and designer clothes other women wear. Yes, all three main characters are pretty awful people. Though Earnest does undergo a character arc to become a good man in the end. He gives up drinking, removes himself from the bad influences in his life, remarries to an obviously better woman, has children with new better wife, physically improves himself with camping and exercise, starts charities. He's the one who dies in the end, but he lived a good life in those last 37 years.
