How is Sue able to work without any identifying documents?
I loved this film, but one plot element has been bugging me. How is Sue even able to work for the network? Wouldn’t the fact that she has no I.D., SSN, or even a birth certificate prevent her from being employed?
Ultimately, it’s probably a silly question. It’s not unimaginable that the greasy network executives would let it slide for the chance to make some serious profits. You could also argue that the film takes place in some sort of surrealist reality meant to exaggerate the importance of beauty in the entertainment industry to bring the issue to the forefront, making it the only thing that matters at all—other barriers to employment are irrelevant.
I am curious, however, if anyone has any logical idea of how Sue could have circumvented all of this. I don’t think forged documents would work. I don’t see how she could have obtained real ones.
Thoughts?
