To Die For: Difference between revisions

The film also starred Matt Dillon and the then unknown [[Joaquin Phoenix]] in one of his first major roles.

 

 

* [[Ambition Is Evil]]

* [[Black Comedy]]

* [[The Mafia]] (Played with: Suzanne's father's fears that her Italian-American husband comes from a Mafia family are intended to come across as ridiculous and borderline racist. {{spoiler|turns out they ''are'' a Mafia family but they only react when ''Suzanne'' has a man killed, and then the only person they hurt is Suzanne herself in revenge.}})

* [[Playing Against Type]] ([[Nicole Kidman]] as a sociopathic airhead!)

* [[Retroactive Recognition]]: Joaquin Pheonix and Casey Affleck in his first big role.

* [[Stepford Smiler]]

* [[Sympathetic Murderer]] (Suzanne is convinced she's one. The reality is otherwise.)

* [[The Vamp]] (Played with; Suzanne has the ruthlessness and the looks but lacks the brains to pull it off properly - her 'seduction' and 'manipulation' are hilariously ham-fisted and obvious. Luckily her targets are even dumber than she is.)

* [[The Vamp]]

* [[Villain Protagonist]]

* [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]]
