    The reason Sue goes for her old job is because she's still Elizabeth Sparkle; they are the same person, and she couldn't let go of the job that she once had. Also, despite her manager/producer being slimy, she was always wanting his approval and couldn't shy away from that. It's not just the industry that failed Elizabeth, but her own self hatred and self confidence issues too.
    I loved the ending but, yeah, it's definitely divisive and I can see why it didn't work for you. It worked for me only because, at a certain point in the second act (which I won't spoil), I started thinking 'but wait, what are the consequences of what you're doing?'.
    I really enjoyed your video!

      Yes, I think there was a lot of ego involved for her to get that job back instead of aiming higher. By the way, the scene that bothered me was the one on stage close to the end, which was so cartoonishly exaggerated and didn't meet the tone the rest of the movie presented. It felt out of place, just to rub an additional message in. Happy, though, that it still worked fine for you.
      Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I am happy that you liked my review, even though you didn't agree with all of it. This is refreshing and absolutely the way conversations should be led. Thanks for that as well 🌞

      @@MichasBreakdown Yeah I agree. Plus, it seemed that she took her old job back because that's what she's always known, and her slimy boss is who she seems to know the longest in her career, so it's a comfort thing. That's what I got from that anyway.
      Yeah, I Immediately thought it was that scene that bothered you. It did go to a level of camp, especially when some of the people stood up and started pointing and yelling at her (it was a weird tone), but I did like the scene. I think it worked for me coz it intertwined with the flashbacks from those talent judges saying all these criticisms. You hear them say stuff like 'she should have her boobs upto her face' or it was something similar to that and, well, the creature did. So she thought 'well, I finally meet the criteria of what they're expecting in terms of beauty'. But she now looks like...well, a creature. I can definitely see why you didn't like the scene, as it did reach a campy tone though.
      That's ok. And that's alright; I loved the film, but I definitely understand the criticisms of it too. And yeah, it's important to have nice conversations like this, especially with how social media discussions usually tend to go xD

      Happy that you enjoyed the movie. I also did - the end just didn't work for me.
