@grizzlikesfilm They're on record as having filmed this scene with multiple possibilities. Then they took pieces of each take and smashed them together. It's meant to be ambiguous. When I saw it, I took her reaction as compassion for her dear friend. Pretty brilliant!
@empress_kiyana The art director got paid for a job. Had the movie flopped, would they have returned the money? The money people took the risk and won the reward. That's the way it is. They could probably offer an option where you settle for say $2,000 in pay for a tiny piece of the gross. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
