Drop Dead Gorgeous : who killed becky?

who killed becky?

i dont get. who put gas in the thing?

Re: who killed becky?

It was made in mexico, "everything smells like gas". Thats why they make the crack at the funeral about buying American.

Re: who killed becky?

I got the impression that the Mexican's who made it purposefully built it so it would blow up when lit because Becky's dad was such a dick to them.

Re: who killed becky?

That and the fact she kept calling Mehico.
Bitch had it coming.

Did you know some mushrooms are carnivorous? Probably... Not...

Re: who killed becky?

I don't think that they'd have necessarily been angry at Becky for pronouncing it like that.

That's actually how you are supposed to pronounce it in Spanish & I saw it as a way of showing how little outside influence Becky had. The only people she really interacted with were her parents & the Mexican workers hired by her parents. Plus on top of that, the fact that she says "Mehican" hints that Becky was more raised by the workers (a nanny) than by her own mom. Even if her mom did help raise her, it is pretty telling that her mom didn't care enough to emphasize the American pronunciation of Mexico. It sort of shows that Becky didn't really get a lot of attention from her.

Plus if she'd had more friends or at least any real friends, they'd have noticed this & corrected her on it.

Re: who killed becky?

I didn't think it was deliberately built to blow up - I took it as a reflection on how cheap and half-assed the workmanship from Mexico was (and by extension, all the goods in her dad's store which were also made in Mexico). At least her thousand-sequined talent dress didn't blow up or catch fire when she was dancing with Jesus.

What an obnoxious jerk her dad was! "I always offer to pay them off in tacos - they love that!" Yeah, I'll bet they do. You can just imagine what they'd be saying about him behind his back!

Flat, drab passion meanders across the screen!

Re: who killed becky?

Becky's dad mentions paying the Mexican workers in tacos, saying oh they love that!
One of the many mehican workers who made her dress knew she'd win, relayed that to the ones who built the swan and the result was their retaliation to his racism.

Re: who killed becky?

I was always under the impression that Gladys was the one that doused the swan with gas because she was afraid that Amber was absolutely going to win and in killing her, her daughter would then become Queen. I gathered this from when Gladys pointed at Amber in the vette and said that it should have been her on top of it. But that is just me.

And on the 8th day, God said, "Bazinga!"

Re: who killed becky?

the judges were all already bought and paid for, even the brother mentions 'Harold, I know who the winner is.'the woman worked for Becky's dad and they hired the furniture store for all the hardware needed. The only one not in a pocket was john does and even then she could've easily blackmailed him for having 'never uh...never been around young girls.' The light was meant for amber, why would she light the fire herself and blow her own daughter up.

Re: who killed becky?

When she yelled at Amber "That should have been you!" I think she only meant that Amber was the one who was supposed to be dead by now, what with the TWO failed murder attempts. Amber was supposed to end up like Tammy - dead in an "accident".

Flat, drab passion meanders across the screen!

Re: who killed becky?

I think when she said that, she meant that Amber was supposed to be up there because she actually did win. Do you remember that face she made when she read who the runner up was? That was not a happy face.

Re: who killed becky?

The Swan Float was not part of the traditional parade. Becky's parents had it specially made, and that takes lots of time and advance planning. They knew that Becky was going to win no matter what because they were going to arrange it that way. There was never any chance that Amber would be standing on top of what was basically the Leemans' own personal triumphal chariot.

Flat, drab passion meanders across the screen!

Re: who killed becky?

All I can say, is... duh. Yeah, the whole thing was rigged from the beginning. When Becky's mom said it should have been Amber up there instead of Becky, she merely meant that Amber should be the one dead, and if people were really watching this movie, it would be obvious that that's what was meant.



EMOTICONS ARE BACK! YAY!

Re: who killed becky?

I agree, she just meant Amber should've been the one dead. The float blew up just because of poor construction.

Re: who killed becky?

That's very clever of you-I think you're 100% right!

Re: who killed becky?

Agreed. I always assumed it was Gladys and her plan backfired. "The swan ate my baby!!!...." LOL

Re: who killed becky?

The float was filled with gas for it to be driven in the parade. Becky's mum was lighting sparklers at the bottom of the float. You could hear a hissing of the gas escaping and I think the sparklers and gas combined and set the tissue paper swan on fire. It was a badly made float. I don't think Becky was intentionally killed.
