Question:

I began watching Wicked on Lifetime, and then fell asleep about halfway through!. I woke up and saw the murder of the main character (the creepy 14 year old) and then the whole thing with the mask and the little girl crying at the very end!.

So, I'm confused!. Is the little girl the murderer!? and if so, why!? I think I missed something :pWww@QuestionHome@Com

Here's actually how the whole story goes and this might make more since, 'cause I own the movie myself:
The 14 year old girl, Ellie (Julia Stiles) is obviously an outcast as she gets picked on at school, is rejected by the neighborhood kids and denied attention from both her parents!. Her Mother is having an affair with the father and we immediately see ( within the first 10-15 minutes of the film) that Ellie knows all about it, due to the spying she does through the cemented wall between their houses!. Since Ellie resents her Mother for her love affair, rigid nature, and complaint about everything she does, she kills her the same morning her Mother pushes one too many of her buttons by disapproving of her make-up that her own Dad had bought her!. We, as an audience are tricked because of all Ellie's crying and false greif until near the end of the movie, it is made CLEAR than SHE murdered her Mother because near the end of the film, she opens her pink suitcase, in which she fantasized about using as a runaway accessory, and pulls out her Mother's wedding ring and Greek drama mask!. You'll notice Ellie used the sad-face drama mask to muder her Mother, because her Mother put in in such depression and angst!. Later after Ellie's father, Ben and Lena get married, Ellie's younger sister, Inger finds Ellie's pink suitcase and discovers the bloody mask inside, only to be in shock of what her sister has been hiding all these past months!. Inger soon decides that she has had enough of Ellie's anger, selfishness and bratty nature and kills her to avenge her Mother's death when Ellie is momentarily disabled because of the glass shard impaled into her foot, this time using the happy-face drama mask, because according to Inger, getting rid of Ellie was a happy change and a drastic improvement in the family's life: no anger, hostility or teen chaos!. Once Lena finds the mask in Inger's school bag hours later, she automatically realizes that Ben is now in danger, in which she will be too if she doesn't warn him in time about his next murderous daughter!. Lena covers her mouth in incredible shock and the film just ends there, most likely because of how crazy poor Lena went after realizing she has ANOTHER wicked little girl on her plate!. After all, it is strongly suggested that Inger inherited her now dead sister's evil and persistence to kill whenever and whoever when not getting her way!.

I hope this helps!!!!<3Www@QuestionHome@Com
