The power trio leading roles were almost perfect,Meryl Streep was my favorite actress since Deer Hunter,gorgeous and sexy,Goldie in a step behind is beauty and funny as Private Benjamin,Willis as Ernest becames a clow in their hands in a fine acting,the picture was an criticism a endless seeking for eternal youth that disturb all women who getting older,this is starting point this clever and original black comedy which apeall too much by special effects that spoilled the whole thing, should be more unaffected by so manny effects,end up seems strained and then flopped down to me reaching at trash's level!!Resume: First watch: 1995 / How many: 4 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 7.5

Amazon Prime Video UK recently added this flick to the free section and Rewatching this after many many years has me still liking this film, but not as much as i liked it back in the 90s.The main plot is about 2 women who fell for the same man, looks play a major part with all 3 of them, and we see that the women are obsessed with wanting to stay young.This film is trying to make a point about many women's issues about wanting to stay young, i'm sure there are some men who have that same mindset, but i haven't looked at the statistics. Death Becomes Her is clever in some aspects.The part of the story line about taking a potion to remain young forever is where the fantasy genre comes in, it sounds like someone sat, thought and wished that they could take some type of potion to remain young forever and live forever and made that into a movie script, but that is not reality, everyone dies.The black comedy genre is one of the weakest genres of film, i can't think of any black comedy movies that are worth watching except for this one, and this film is only halfway entertaining at best.It's understandable why this movie won an Oscar for best visual effects, the special effects are good for its day. The trivia says that "Meryl Streep did not really like shooting this film and that she said it's the last VFX Movie that she will ever do", regardless she still gave a brilliant performance and so did Goldie Hawn and Bruce Willis. The performances are over the top at times, but i get the feeling they are supposed to be. Goldie Hawn's character at the beginning of the film (before she loses all the weight) is over the top and as someone who loves animals i dislike the scene where she is neglecting all of her cats, they are constantly meowing (probably because they are hungry) and all she is doing is feeding herself until security or whoever they're supposed to be comes in and physically removes her from her chair and apartment. I get what the Director Robert Zemeckis was trying to portray (The overweight cat lady with no self-esteem and unhealthy obsession with the woman who "stole" her husband) but i as an animal lover still do not like that scene.We see 2 female characters being pathetic with wanting revenge and hating each other over a man to the point that they resort to attempted murder, and on top of that they don't want to get old which becomes a 100% obsession to the point where they eventually completely lose interest in the man and only want to keep him around so they can use him to further their vanity and narcissism.The final conclusion of this movie is clever, it shows us the consequences of this unhealthy desire and mindset that these women have.

The special effects in this movie are beyond spectacular. They're seamless and really make ones jaw drop. Plus, Bruce Willis is hilarious in this. He leaves me with the impression that he had nothing but fun making this film. The double take he does at the opened gun cabinet is absolutely priceless. I've seen this film at least a dozen times and I watch it every time it comes on just because of how fun it is. I see something new in it each time I watch.

Death becomes her is an enchanting take that takes you into the hilarious life's of three vain, narcissistic Californians who all strive for different goals in their lives.Meryl Steep have an Oscar worthy performance as Madeline Aston who's biggest fear is lose her name and youth. When a witch gives her the chance for eternal life she good on board no matter the consequences.Goldie Hawn never looked better and plays the equally dashing Helen looking for revenge in a similar style to episodes of tales from the crypt.All the performances were top notch and with a script this good you couldn't lose no matter how it was cut.What makes it once and a life time film is that the talent that draw you in and make you feel sympathy for a life time wasted on petty life problems that could be solved in a psychiatrist's office in fifteen minutes. In one way or another they are made victims of themselves instead of trying to be happy with who they are.Another warning is at what price are we willing to pay for beauty. Money, our families or your soul? What seems like a dream come true can become an absolute nightmare. Almost like a caution against cosmetic surgery which rights your face and changes the natural form.This isn't really for the regular joes looking a quick laugh. Its set up in macabre dark ways that happen in rotation and I won't spoil for you here. But its worth the price of admission.It will be the most fun you had in ages.
