The 2009 movie Obsessed, starring Beyonce Knowles-Carter and Idris Elba, is on Netflix. Similar storyline to 1987's Fatal Attraction. In the Beyonce movie, an actress named Ali Larter plays the delusional-stalker-woman. In one scene, she "roofies" Mr. Elba's character! - slips somethin' into his drink when he isn't looking!
(In the past, I had never heard the term "roofie" -- learned that during the Bill Cosby scandal in 2014....)
In another scene, she wears the weirdest lingerie -- ever. I wasn't even sure what it was -- styles change, I guess.
(Now I'm going to discuss part of the plot: if you haven't seen it and you want to be surprised, scroll past this part and just enjoy the picture at the end above the
"-30-".)
Beyonce and Ali Larter have a big fight at the end of the movie. Ali Larter's character, Lisa, has done four things: entered Beyonce's home, attempted to seduce Beyonce's husband, stolen Beyonce's baby, and -- touched Beyonce.
Beyonce is on the phone to her husband, but she is watching Lisa, and she says into the phone, in a soft voice with mayhem underlying it -- "Derek, I'm gonna call you back."
And then they fight.
Could a woman really be strong enough to toss another woman through the air?
Do you die if a chandelier falls on you?
Anyway...
