#helens actions wouldnt be impactful at all if it turns out to be a fake

"They didn't actually burn the Mona Lisa, the real one is made of wood, not paper, like in the film!! Of course they wouldnt have given miles bron the real one!!"

Yeah...they didn't burn the real Mona Lisa...because it's a movie. Another thing is that paper might just look better than wood when it burns on film. Not only that, but it's very realistic that miles would have obtained the real one. Rich people buy one of a kind, priceless art all the time, just because they believe they have that right.

Also, in the context of the film, it had to be the real Mona Lisa; Helen's plan wouldn't work if it turned out to be a fake. Miles would never always be mentioned in the same breath as the Mona Lisa if the real one didn't burn.

I'm sorry if this makes people uncomfortable but in the Rian Johnson cinematic universe, the real Mona Lisa has been reduced to ashes.
