Benedito Dias Rodrigues 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

nadinesalakovv 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.

drdilarayazici I watched it when i was realllly small and ive been thinking the films name, the characters for the last few years. i found it in recommended for me part watched it again loved it again u should watch it some time!!!

Leofwine_draca The reason I enjoy DEATH BECOMES HER is for the cutting way it explores the obsession with anti-ageing in America (and particularly Los Angeles) and the increasingly desperate efforts by women (and men) to combat it. This is a film which takes plastic surgery to new extremes when a couple of rival women discover a magical immortality serum and use it to devastating effect.Other than the spot-on satire, it's fair to say that this film really isn't all that good. The goofy slapstick comedy feels forced and the plot is so limited that it barely sustains the running time. Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn are both given free reign to ham things up as much as is humanly possible, while Bruce Willis is miscast in a slightly desperate comedic turn. The supporting acts of Isabella Rossellini and Ian Ogilvy are better, but given little to work with.Watching this film over twenty years after it was made, it becomes apparent that it was designed as a special effects showcase in which human bodies are turned into cartoon-style creations with all manner of outlandish violence. Unfortunately, the CGI isn't all that great, and some of it looks really, really awful these days; the bit with the backwards head is the film's nadir. To say that it's dated is an understatement...
