im still thinking about the substance because yes it is about the beauty standards women face, but i think it could also b interpreted as a metaphor for mother daughter relationships. sue is literally made from her. the huge scar on her back. the scene where elisabeth is watching the interview and screaming abt how sues beauty secret is her and she gets it from her. like yes in a very literal sense she gets it from her but also she came from elisabeth, she gets it from her, she gets it from her!!!! the growing resentment between BOTH of them. elisabeth for sue doing all the things she feels she cant at her age, taking the opportunities that were once presented to her. sue for holding her back, for constantly having to come back, for being old. remember you are one because yes you are the same person but also this is your mom and htis is your daughter and this is your future and this is your past. am i reading too much into this probably idk but damn. this movie fucks

In this regard, although a man’s abusive behavior is often explained by labels such as bad, evil, and monster, male violence is still normalized to some extent within mainstream depictions of masculinities. For instance, when it becomes known that a father or stepfather has sexually abused his child, although a social outrage may be expressed toward the act, as a society, we often are not entirely surprised by the act itself. Yet when a mother or female caregiver commits acts of violence toward her daughter, we are left with no socially acknowledged place to put this behavior because maternal sexual abuse completely defies our logic concerning femininity and motherhood. To this end, a man is construed as bad or evil because he violated a criminal act; however, a woman is labeled bad or evil or explained as mad or victim because she violated the social constructions of her gender.
