20 Movie Reveals Nobody Noticed
6. Strawberry's Future - Anora
Sean Baker's multi-Oscar winning masterpiece Anora may feel like a wholly self-contained comedy-drama, but it does nevertheless open up the world of Baker's previous film - his acclaimed 2021 black comedy Red Rocket.
During the Las Vegas sequence, an establishing shot of the strip briefly features a billboard on the left side of the frame with a picture of Red Rocket's female lead, Strawberry (Susanna Son).
In that film Strawberry was an aspiring porn actress, but the story ends on an ambiguous note where her future path remains unclear.
Yet Baker appears to have clarified that entirely in Anora, given that the billboard refers to Strawberry as "Starlet of the Year" before advertising a two-week live stage show she's starring in.
It seems pretty evident from this that Strawberry "made it," in so much as she became famous enough to have a billboard promoting what is presumably a strip show.
While we still don't know the particulars of her adult film career, the clear implication is that Strawberry succeeded in her goal.
