I thought I'd post a clip from one of my favorite Christmas movies, Batman Returns. The only thing I can think of when I see this scene is poor Selina Kyle. This mousy woman made the classic mistake of telling Maximillian "Max" Shreck, who was doing something deceitful and unscrupulous that she unintentionally uncovered his secret. Selina just stumbled upon his crooked business while doing her job, she wasn't planning on telling anyone (even though he should have been turned in) but he couldn't take that chance, so he tried to kill her.
In a way, he did. She may have survived falling out of a high-rise building but not without sustaining a head injury that altered her personality. She was no longer a scared mousy little woman but a more confident (if not slightly deranged) woman. A Catwoman so to speak, inside and out. Oh don't worry about Selina, she got her revenge on Max Shreck in the end.
I'm not sure what the moral of the story is, maybe don't wait until you nearly die falling out of a high-rise building to be the person you really want to be. I don't know, Happy Holidays!
