A Simple Favor, starring Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, uses the martini as a powerful symbol of class and character dynamics. Emily Wilson, played by Lively, epitomizes sophistication with her martini-making knowledge, illustrating her superiority over the meek Stephanie Smothers (Kendrick). As their relationship unfolds, the martini transforms from a symbol of Emilyâs elite lifestyle to a tool of empowerment for Stephanie after Emilyâs downfall. The sequel, Another Simple Favor, continues this theme, showcasing their complicated friendship as Emily returns from prison and invites Stephanie to a wedding in Capri.
The specificity with which Emily demands her martini, and her haughty teaching of Stephanie, symbolize her superior lifestyle and rigid standards, contrasting sharply with Stephanie's insecurity.
In Another Simple Favor, the sequel to the original, Emily's return from imprisonment and her invitation to Stephanie as maid of honor highlight their complex relationship dynamics.
