Krista's last few moments on screen
I just watched the film for the second time and I was wondering if anyone else picked up on this...
At the end of the film, Krista is talking about how she was worried her daughter would come out looking like her father, she says, "but she didn't. She looked just like me. Only prettier."
The sound drops out, but she continues speaking. She looks out the window and the camera speed slows down. She suddenly gets this look on her face like she knows something's not right. She keeps talking and smiling, but it looks *strained* to me. Like she's doing it because it's the only thing she *can* do. And then she looks over at her killer.
I've rewound that scene and watched it about 4 times now, and I keep coming back to the same conclusion: that Krista had some sort of realization in those last few moments of the film. Maybe not that she was going to be dead soon, but that something was very wrong.
I wonder if Brittany Murphy intentionally played it like that. The director made no mention of it, though. But I guess that's a questions for James Lipton and "Inside the Actor's Studio."
Just wondered if anyone else had thought the same thing.
