Glass Onion - A Masterpiece Of Stupidity 

truer words have never been said before

🤣

Gneiss.

To be fair though, I think Abrams already killed Star Wars with The Force Awakens, Johnson just put the nail in the coffin.

Star Wars is still very much alive Andor being incredibly popular Bad Batch still going Mandalorian Season 3 on the way

Conceeded however at this point I'll take bad writing over anything mired in the Feminine Imperative or Diversity/Representation agenda.

This movie is so garbage, might end up on your reviews soon...

Hey Possum!

Exactly! Thank you!

if you were so smart you would have called the police on sasquatch when he tried to rape you,but of course you like critisizing roundheads with mental disabilities

So smart she got herself killed. Then she wasn't very smart was she?

@@slade52 Doesn't change that she was written as the founder and smartest of the group does it? And i guess the point was that smart people can make mistakes? And when youre murdered that isnt getting yourself killed is it? its being murdered...Think a little

@@jasonkanyike3245 Andi was dumb, the whole movie was dumb.

@@moonriver7439 maybe YOU thought the character was dumb, fine. But can't deny that according to the movie she was the "smart" one. Regardless to what anybody thinks. It's like you're saying "rick Sanchez is dumb!" Despite the story portraying him as a genius. Makes no sense

@@jasonkanyike3245 a smart person would make an unrealistically dumb person the cofounder of their company? Okay. You’re one of those people that takes a movie at face value without questioning it. Which is a big reason why movies are so bad now. Also, Rick and Morty sucks.

Don't forget the part where he takes Duke's gun and hides it under his shirt and then puts it on the table before making the drink. You can solve the murder literally in the same scene it happens if you pay attention.

Also, while it's unlikely that you'll pick up on the exact details of what's happening, the movie deliberately shows you "Andy"'s imperfect nails and hair in her dock introduction, which many people did take as an indication that something was off. Why would a certified "rich bitch" have these things be anything less than perfect?

​​@@TRGOTSVODSI did wonder why she made that comment about rich people at the start in fairness but Christ Sherlock Holmes couldn't figure out the twins twist.

Sorry. It's a force of habit to call out bad writing. We will try to control ourselves

@@kingcreedo6010 We forgive you, it's ok if you make a mistake every now and then. :)

I think The Prestige did it pretty well... Not a murder mystery exactly, but similar concept.

@@vezonf3nrak Yeah, The Prestige was brilliant.

@@vezonf3nrak Prestige set up everything perfectly. If you rewatch it you can pick up all the small hints.

What about Ace Attorney?

Have to agree...the prestige is pretty much to only one..

Oh hush! You’re currently excited for the next product. “Hate watching”, doesn’t exist. It is ppl who cannot help but spend the money on more junk.

Its the closest thing to a well written film we'll get from Hollywood these days, a facade of complex and quality writing. And for a film all about the facade of complexity hiding the obvious truth of idiocy, its quite ironic.

Yup movie is just dumb. I tapped out the moment Dave Butista died and Miles said he grabbed the wrong drink then it shows the fake flashback. I legit said that didn’t happen, he handed him the drink, rewound to the scene and saw yup he handed Dave the poisoned drink. Immediately ruined the entire movie

Yeah I kind of like the goofy tone of the movie, until it got in the way of the mystery.They just kept ridiculous over and over. It could've been like the board game clue but modern. But they fkd it up.

Blanc's reasoning why Miles couldn't be the killer was also extremely stupid. None of what he said made sense. Why wouldn't miles kill her shortly after a court case he won? He would seemingly have no motive and Andi had just lost half of a billion dollar company. What better time to make it look like she killed herself?

Oh my god you're right!! It was the only part i liked, but you're right withholdin that until the 50 minute explanation of the whole movie would have kept the tension, made Blanc look smarter, and maybe flesh out the characters, but they chose the dumb

I mean, one of the key plot points, was the news of Andi's death being reported. The news of which, could only be withheld from the media for a week, as said in the flashback. They had to solve it before the news was public, or else the rest would have figured out. Details matter.

He literally says in the movie he did it to protect the billionaire guy, which itself is a obfuscation to get closer to him and learn more about the actual mystery. You would know this if you actually watched the film. Rightoids really don't have any media literacy skills

Th movie SPRINGS the reveal on the audience that Bron is the killer. You can hear Rian chuckling with pride... He's so clever! Motherfucker, if YOU killed ANDI and she SHOWS UP on your island WITH A FAMOUS DETECTIVE, what the FUCK took you so long to object to them being there that you shoot at them? Why not have them both escorted off the island? Why not kill Andi and try to bury her corpse and then THAT turns into the mystery game instead of whatever you had planned? That would've been a neat movie!

good point

And now he's got a write another Knives Out movie, but this time with the... Muppets?!

At least Glass Onion makes more sense than Bird Box or Tall Girl

Precisely. It's a glass onion. On its surface appears densely layered and complex, but in truth you can look directly at the core.

Or how about when Kate Hudson says it's so dumb it's brilliant and then Craig says no it's just dumb

I expected absolutely nothing from the movie and feel completely cheated.

According to what authority? You? Drinker? I don't think that'll hold up in court.

To be honest the first movie was like that too. Was baffled of the high scores it got, not that its awful but I don't think it was that good.

@complete video here Troll bait.

I must have blocked this in my memory, was it TLJ?

@@Wahba. yea. It was the place where Luke made his last stand. If you can call it that.

Or a guy who put a character literally allergic to lying in a mystery film.

Or bases a childish internet troll-type character on people who criticised his undeniably terrible movie, even though most of the criticism of said movie was legitimate criticism that he vilified as “toxic fans, trolls and man-babies”.

true!

yeah, that was my guess too. I thought his crime would be caught by Mona Lisa, and that's what puts him in the same sentence as it.

That would have actually been a decent twist. Rian should hire you.

@@SparkY0 ....nnnno it wasn't. You didn't watch the movie. It's dumber than had OP predicted, but it does involve him being targeted by governmental agencies in relation to the Mona Lisa's protection.

That honestly would’ve been a better ending. I get it Rian you like subverting expectations but sometimes you just want to see a criminal arrested instead of whatever that was.

That wouldn’t have worked unless you had someone to find the footage and leak it successfully. Even if someone found it when Miles returned the Mona Lisa, he is still powerful enough to respond and never have it released (because he’s obviously gonna be asked questions about it before it leaks or is used as evidence). I feel the ending we got was literally the only way it could’ve ended. Sometimes there really isn’t much more to do, and Helen’s breakdown is pretty entertaining to watch too.

Surely a glass onion would be the opposite of that? Appearing transparent but actually having multiple hard to see layers.

that's literally the point of the movie

That's not irony if it's on purpose

@@yewtewbstew547 I love your rendition of the idea! Like if the movie was generally the same until the midpoint twist, only to be revealed later that actually Miles and Andi's sister were working together to solve real Andi's murder, and Blanc was kept in the dark to keep him as objective as possible. Basically a real mystery after the viewer considered the fake main mystery solved, just like Knives out.

@@yewtewbstew547 ​ Sorry, but how will the layers be hard to see if the whole onion is transparent? I think you mean difficult to distinguish one layer from another, but the layers are transparent all the way to the visible core.

That's not the point though. She explained quite clearly that his new clean energy source had now destroyed the most famous painting. She isn't expecting him to take the blame, she just destroyed any credibility of his product instead. Just think of what news stories would come out in the wake of that scene, headlines would be things like "Mona Lisa destroyed by Klear" not "Disgruntled twin burns down Mona Lisa"

I think she was taking the blame for the act itself, that was why Blanc said "if you have the stomach for it". She is fucked. But, Norton's character illegally or at least illegitimate had possession of it, thus it's custodian. And he let it burn down at a drunken weekend party. He is fucked because of optics, stick holders realise he is a clown and sell all his stocks because its sustained by an illusion of quirky genius. That's the point, that much actually does make sense.

@@garrettc1973 There is no way you'd see in media that the Mona Lisa was destroyed. They'd replace it with a copy and bury the story.

@@kariverson1 Conspiracy theory aside the point still stands that her move was to destroy the credibility of his product, not get him to take the blame for destroying the mona lisa.

@@garrettc1973 Rian is such a bad writer he cannot even clearly explain why Klear is bad. "Muh pipe leaks!". He actually thinks this would be delivered to homes via pipes? Does he not understand most people get their energy from power lines and fuel is broken down at a power plant in a controlled environment by professionals? Does Rian think people benefitting from nuclear power have a nuclear reactor in their home and receive shipments of fuel rods? The twin basically started a fire in Miles' living room and threw the klear onto it as an accelerant. You could do the same thing with a can of gasoline. No one is going to discard a near limitless energy source derived from salt water because a lady went crazy and torched a priceless national treasure.

Agreed! Suchet is my favorite Poirot as well.

Suchet is the only Poirot.

Amen! He's far and away the best Poirot.

And Joan Hickson as Miss Marple. The defining performances for Mssr Poirot and Miss M!

At least circus can sometimes be enjoyable and entertaining, unlike Rian

Ny wife told me that too but jesus christ is that such a small and boring detail having a this knowledge doesnt make the movie better

"emphasize"? That's hilarious! Thank you.

Also the fact that in the already incredibly stupid scene where miles burns the original napkin is that Benoit, a character who is usually very attentive to the point that he managed to spot a small red drop on Marta's shoe & miles giving his glass to Duke, didn't notice miles inching closer to Helen with a lighter in his hand

@@perniciouspete4986 lol my bad. xD

@@Shockazulu12 It doesn't. It's such a disappointing mystery movie.

He didn't stick around to confirm her death. He was baffled when she showed up, but what could he do? He had no security or staff on the island. Plus he was an idiot.

@@Karmond you really try to defend a bad mystery movie?

@@Karmond You're on that premium copium

Wow, you guys get really upset over a question being answered, huh?

He didn’t actually see her die. Or did you miss that part?

you hit on exactly why Batwoman failed they turned her into unappealing so the show tanked

Sarah Conner is iconic as it gets for action heros for both guy and gals. Same with Ripley from Aliens. While the supporting cast is great, it's just better with them as BELIEVABLE strong women as the leads. They're just doing it wrong cause they, in fact, aren't very good at this.

This dumb idea that you have to "identify" with a character to have some sort of right to watch it is what's killing entertainment. Nobody alive is an immortal super-human space marine. How is Warhammer 40,000 popular, then?? Because they are... Dudes? What a stupid and reductionist view, and I've seen plenty of people holding it. They know nothing about what they are trying to "improve." They remind me of family members telling me to stop watching "cartoons for girls" because "I was not a girl," and rather than explain to them the actual reason why I liked a cartoon, I simply ignored them, and those people should also be ignored. Watch what you want, and most importantly, write what you want, because the elements in a good story transcend identity labels.

It'd be fun to come up with a comprehensive list. They don't even need to be in the action genre, which is somehow the only thing that counts these days. For example, a lot of people liked Julia Roberts in Erin Brockovich, where she played a woman who had low knowledge but was cunning and used her femininity to her advantage. Another example, Audrey Hepburn was one of the biggest draws during her era, regardless of the type of movie she starred in. This idea that no one wanted to see women in leading roles until yesterday is pure mysticism.

I'll be the odd one out who does fit the cliche. I really don't like female leads. Women-centered stories don't appeal to me. And stories like James Cameron's are just male roles played by women, which is just virtue signalling and weird to me. But I'll agree that a woman who is easy on the eyes can make me look past such issues to a degree.

I have no idea how Rian Johnson is getting away with this nonsense

Thanks for watching and supporting my channel Dm me for a package📦🎁🎁

Yeah, except that that's actually the whole point of this entire movie. It's like a glass onion or something.

@@Jeicemeiser "It's meant to be bad" I can't believe that's the actual defense people are giving this movie.

@@Kantiux I was more referring to “the flashy veneer of intelligence with nothing lying beneath.” That IS the point of the movie, to make you feel like it’s trying hard to be flashy and intelligence when the reality is far simpler. So to say “It’s bad” isn’t as accurate as saying “I don’t like what this movie purposefully did.”

@@Jeicemeiser But the reality doesn't make any sense, and not even in a satiric way. The movie actively lies about it's reality, and then pretends that those things didn't happen. If a movie makes less sense when you watch it for a second time then you know it's doing something wrong. The movie isn't a glass onion, because you cannot see it's core at all, in it's center is a vortex of stupidity from which sight cannot escape it's event horizon.

100% correct. Ive said the same thing. He's gotta move past the Johnson "is the killer of films" hate....... we get it, already.🙄

Do you watch disparu by any chance?

ummmmm aktualy u cry from onions because of dull knife

😂😂😭

Best come back all day!

Most on point comment

🎯💯 he’s criticized the gun getting taking when we see bro be a irresponsible gun owner. He has it on full display all the time, easily accessible, shoots it dangerously for no reason/fun, and drinks while he has it. Yeah I believe someone that irresponsible could get his gun taken especially in a situation like that.

But Rian Johnson himself certainly isn’t hiding his own affection towards having nonsensical expectation subversions for no other reason but shock value, so what’s the problem with pointing that out?

It’s not almost satire, it IS satire. Like that’s the whole point

It's certainly not a highlight of "Hollywood and the elites". Hollywood and elites are overwhelmingly woke left and the "bad" characters are caricatures of the types the woke left currently hates. The billionaire guy is meant to be an Elon Musk figure. Kate Hudson's character is portrayed as decidedly unwoke. Bautista's character is a "men's right activist" like Andrew Tate. Even the crime is an evil rich white male killing a noble black woman for trying to do the right thing. Everything this godawful director makes is thinly disguised woke propaganda.

You literally described the plot: a genius in appearance only revealed to be nothing more than a bumbling-credit-stealing-moron.

@@manbo1213 is it difficult to see? I don't understand these people

........ But the movie instantly shows you Miles is an idiot? I am an idiot, and I guessed he was the killer when "Helen" stepped off the boat. Shit was obvious.

Yes! I absolutely loved that line in the movie. Despite having many flaws, I can't deny that tbe movie also had good instances like these.

@@rewalos5077 he is talking about the Critical Drinker take on the movie, he is not speaking the truth, is just speaking about the movie without thinking

@@LeonardoGPN Yes, the Critical Drinker is so butthurt about The Last Jedi, the pathetic alcoholic manlet still hasn't gotten over hating Rian Johnson HALF A DECADE LATER. lmao It's clouded his judgment... heck, it's eroded his judgment into a green gooey slush. Ew.

@@LeonardoGPNit’s not so much not speaking the truth; it’s deliberately lying. Or maybe the irony is that he’s the stupid person he brings up in the first seconds of the video.

that line is a poorly written desperate attempt to seem clever and profound that you can find in the notebook of a 3rd grader. another great analogy for the movie. i love all the re-res who came here expecting to see another shill review to validate their opinions only to get demolished. another drinker classic

The movie sucks ass, cry cope and seethe

And to be in more movies, only 5 bond films in damn near 20 years is insane

He made better movies than this, and not Bond.

yeah, I liked him in this and also the other knives out movie.

I guess getting paid $500m will do that to a man

He's just happy to receive a paycheck for starring in this piece of crap movie!

It wouldn't have mattered. A scrawl on a napkin with no independent way to show it was contemporaneous with the original idea was not going to be sufficient evidence get an appeal or another trial. The print of the name of the bar at the bottom of it was worthless evidentially.

Even if it could vindicate her, you just happen to find a well-preserved napkin from 30 years ago after the most important trial of your life.

@@christopherpackham732 This just makes the plot more stupid as the whole story line was shaped around that napkin!

The scene where he approaches her with a lighter, and she just stays still and allows him to burn the napkin made me want to throw the TV out the window

I gotta wonder if her character was still drunk in that scene. But I do think it’s funny that Miles couldn’t even have that idea, still had to take it from someone else

That would be a twist

That would be fucking stupid

The whole point is that he was stupid and stole everyone else as good ideas so that would be within the main characters ethos and pathos.

That would be a twist. A good twist? No, but a twist nonetheless

to whit: the twin sister twist

True, the ending was hilarious. I liked the movie with his big plot holes and some stupid instances. It is a fun movie too watch but by far no masterpeace

Yeah , it’s called setup and payoff! Weird that this reviewer thinks that’s a contrivance instead of just, the language of film

@@83croissant True, it was given but it was just so random that Miles gave Benoit the two thing which would have the most impact, the crystal and the hot sauce. It is almost like in games they highlght the ladder to climb. It is also weird that Benoit was carrying it around. Didnt he change clothes in the middle?

@@83croissant yes but why would anyone carry a big bottle of hot sauce on their person all day? Like who does that? That’s just stupid movie logic because the answer is: no one. No one carries big bottles of hot sauce in their pockets all day.

How do you know I don't have some Tabasco sauce in my backpack RIGHT NOW? Checkmate, Rian haters.

@@wpeniche it wasn’t all day. It was maybe a few hours before Duke died and Helen gets shot. There was no opportunity for him to go to his room and put it away

under rated comment. They all knew her for years. She never said hey do you guys know i have an identical twin

@@corvoattano4777 Kate Hudson does say "Oh, yeah, she mentioned she had a sister" but it's still pretty stupid.

That just buys into them being self centered and selfish to even remember she has a twin sister. They don’t care to remember. They don’t care ab anyone but themselves??

But for most they didn't think she was dead so why would they expect her to be the twin?

You'd think that the tech billionaire who tried to discredit her in court would have found that out. A basic investigation into her would find that out.

Dont bother, the channel is intentionally lying and the low IQ gullible fans of this lying channel won't bother to even check what is real before circlejerking about the video Also, the flashback thing., Johnson wants to put the viewers in the shoes of the characters, its a proven fact that eye witness testimony (and memories) can change based on suggestions by others

That sauce bittle is a very nice coincidence don't you think

@@mayanksharma3651 yeah but it was established that Miles just has a bunch of random products that celebrities gave him. Like the hard Kombucha or Serena Williams recordings. I it might be coincidental but I don’t think it’s implausible and that’s the big thing.

​@@mayanksharma3651a coincidence to set up the hero are okay.

The glass thing is exactly the part that got me interested. I saw what happened the first time, but then the "flashback" had me questioning what I actually saw. I even said to my wife, "What? That's not what happened!"

And the final shot of the movie with her in a “Mona Lisa” pose was the most cringe thing I’ve seen all year.

Revenge for the death of a sister ain't pettiness.

@@XanderVJ dead sister does not justify destroying the most famous painting in the world.

@@BrainWasherAttendent It's like the Mona Lisa being replaced is supposed to . . . mean something. I wonder what.

@@tigerburn81 "Diversity"!

He was so blinded by his hatred towards Rian Johnson (for wokeness), he left his brain outside the door when he entered the recording room. Which led to him cluelessly flaunting his mental ret*rdation and opening the review by insulting literally everyone who's got a bigger brain and sounder moral compass than himself.

@@kaned3570 I think Captain Wong is saying that Mr Hypocritical Sphincter doesn't have an eye for detail.

Hot sauce is part of the EDC.

I mean damn, Miles just outright says "Take a few bottles" and we can see Benoit Blanc pocket it, plain as day

Why the fuck would he just carry around a bottle of hot sauce at all fucking times.

It'd be in character for him

Im not sure if he actually watched the movie

I think he was drunk making the video too

All his nitpicks were countered perfectly in this video. This vid is what you get if you don't pay enough attention to the movie you're watching 🤷‍♂️ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B-5uSY1_b80.html

Explain how he's wrong this movie is terrible the whole it's just dumb excuse doesn't excuse bad writing

That was more or less what Rian Johnson was going for. There were obvious hints: I saw the Isocasahedron at the heart of the glass onion in first 20 minutes of the film. I paused the movie and stared at it. Why do the lines leave an empty hexagon in the center? Divining the mystery of the glass Onion, I was overcome with emotion. It gave the appearance of deep meaning, but it was painfully stupid. So stupid that I might have cried. Failing to understand that it was a metaphor for the entire film, I watched it to the end. I was so close and yet so far at the same time.

@@hypothalapotamus5293 "Jesse, What the fuck are you talking about?"

@@hypothalapotamus5293 Sir, this is Wendys

@@hypothalapotamus5293 worth typing all that?

@@mikelewis6 Probably more worth it than your comment.

Absolutely. I honestly had a good laugh and the twist was pretty good

Most people love seeing a send up of the vain and pompous elite. This movie is just poor...The inflammatory racial politics--isn't that (laughably) called "stochastic terrorism" by hysterics now?--which fairly 100% informed the movie's casting, is icing on the mudcake.

So pirate it?

@Icy Crusader it is on Netflix. If you don't have that yes.

Same. Just a fun ride, turn ur brain off. I'm no fan of Rian Johnson but, these movies are alright

IKR, for example the scene where TCD claims that Helen has been added in when she should've been visible before - it's perfectly clear what happens if you watch the scene carefully and it makes total sense.

You mean like in the scene where the flashback changes what happens, lol. Great writing. 😂

@@culturalliberator9425 nothing "changes" you are just shown more of the scene, the camera zooms out and we see the flashback roll for an extra few seconds. The events are still identical, you can even line up both scenes and watch the flashbacks at the same time and they line up perfectly, even the sound is the same. I genuinely think you might be too stupid to observe objective reality.

The movie literally lies about scenes and what happened earlier. This is a whodunnit without an iota of being able to figure anything out, apart from of course the eccentric billionaire being the killer as if any other outcome could be possible

⁠@@joshblack9182But then why not use a different angle? They literally use THE EXACT SAME SHOT with Helen edited in. When we KNOW that’s not what happened

The thing that didn’t happen?

well, it worked greatly

Idk man, it works for me in these 2 movies

It's not a flashback in the traditional sense, it's a second act that mirrors the first, shows all the SAME clues but with further context, and I think it was brilliantly executed.

@@mirkecWii if you wanna see good usage of a flashback you should watch Pootie Tang.

don't expect any intelligence from a loser incel still whining about garbage wars years after the movie came out xD last jedi even was one of the better movies of that terrible franchise

…yeah, but…no I hear what you’re saying here, and it would make sense… But look at the first angle again please. And Yeah, they’re both practically leaning out at the same time. Snap or no snap (you’re right about the snap, well said) But, sorry, it’s blatant manipulation cause, well, already said it. She would have totally been visible in the first angle. Not bad though, given if the first angle was panned inward more. But it wasn’t, and Andy should have been completely visible (Not “should” but, I think you’re believing the first shot didn’t show as much as it did. It did m8, the f-ing tree she’s behind it right there…. I mean dude it’s *right* *there*) Doesn’t mean you don’t have others you have arguments against that make sense, not against you…but that shot & 2nd shot was such blatant manipulation…which is not what helps a good thriller/mystery at all. Compare this to, say, The Prestige…where the use of a twin is actually believable, given the era & the professions of the main characters. And the fact that there’s no forced manipulation; you pay attention enough, you’ll see the mystery, the reveal, cause Nolan respects the intelligence of the audience. Compare it to Memento (totally didn’t mean to use 2 Nolan movies). Different perspectives work, because we’re relying on the narration/perspective of an unreliable narrator. Changes in face/environment make sense due to his handicap, and no blatant manipulation of the camera is really used. This isn’t to say that there aren’t other things to not agree with here, I hear you on that (so really, a bombing of keyboard warrior attacks b/c I simply disagree w/one thing, and articulated why…would be appreciated. You know what I mean lol Well, hopefully. Anyway, 👍✌️

​@@RagnaRantz I don''t think you're understanding how the scene is playing out. Helen isn't visible because the shot we are shown with just Blanc IS AFTER she moved places and broke the twig. The peeking scenes are not at the same time, they are two different peeks that happen seconds apart. The timeline is Blanc and Helen peak (we don't see this part until later), Helen moves and breaks a twig, Duke looks behind him and sees nothing, then Blanc by himself peaks AGAIN and Helen is not in that spot anymore because she moved. The first time we see the scene it starts with the second peek, then later on they reveal more of the scene that happened earlier.

@@iEffloresce umm Dude? I’m understanding how the scene is playing out. Really. It’s not complicated. I am simply saying that, with that first shot? The tree that she is clearly behind at the SAME time? She should be visible. I get it (please m8, not difficult) It’s the perspective of Blanc. But the angle…dude the angle was flat out bad. If you show the background, the actual tree she was right behind, even if we’re in “Blanc’s perspective”… Blanc’s perspective then loses to the perspective to the audience being able to see what’s behind him. Period. His perspective loses credibility if you’re going to have an angle that would have shown her. But I hear you. To keep it in Blanc’s perspective & to have that perspective not lose credibility (cause it did)…all the director had to do was pan IN and NOT show where she clearly was. That’s it. Done. Blanc’s perspective stays intact and does not lose out to the obvious perspective of the audience. That’s blatant manipulation…hands down and no way around it. Imagine it were a book. Blanc’s head. He wouldn’t have described the scenery behind him. The fact there is a second tree (or he would of, right before peaking out). It would narrate him subtlety peaking out, being careful. The narrate the sound of the snap. It would NOT have narrated “at the exact time I peaked out, so did”…you see what I mean? I’m not disagreeing about the perspective. I’m saying that, it’s a movie, and Blanc’s perspective loses to the perspective of the audience the moment we can see behind him. And when it shows the same shot, but OH NOW she’s there too…that’s manipulative. Sorry m8, no way around that. I get what you’re saying, and it holds a little weight. But not much when we see the exact same tree, twice…one where she’s not peaking just like him, one where she is. It’s fine to disagree…but at this point, to not see my point; that’s almost flat denial Anyway…appreciate the respect. And I mean that, considering the absolute incredible salt and anger with anyone that doesn’t agree “this was a great movie”. Ehh. Anyway…to say “I’m not understanding”-no mate, stop misunderstanding me is all. See? They shouldn’t have shown that tree, they shouldn’t have shown that angle. Wanna keep it in Blanc’s perspective and not have that lose out to the intelligence of the audience? Simple, pan in and DONT show the tree behind him. See? And if not, just gotta agree to disagree. Only reason I say “stop saying I don’t understand”- cause that’s becoming “turning a blind eye”…and you don’t mean it ugly, I know that, but it’s an insult to my intelligence. Reiterating; it’s not that complicated, your point- Take care. And again, I do appreciate the respect. And, back at you. No insults toward you, at all. I’m sure you probably see my point. If we disagree still? Oh well, it’s ok.✌️

@@RagnaRantz hey, yeah, I looked back and you're right, the shot was wide enough that we should have seen Blanc and Helen/Andi lean out the first time around. I would say that is a framing or editing mistake, though and not blatant manipulation. I mean, if they had actually done just a close up on Duke so that you couldn't see the trees (like I thought they did), then it all works. It's not like they showed Blanc peeking out pre-snap the first time and then Helen and Blanc peeking out pre-snap the second time. That would have been blatant manipulation. The fact that the snap sound is there makes it clear that it was a marker for when the audience was supposed to see certain things. So, yeah, they screwed up (no movie is perfect), but the intent was merely to hide the fact that Helen was also there until the second pass. It's still a good movie that holds up way, way better than Drinker implies it does.

Birdie literally said that Andi told her she had a sister

They knew about her sister so whoever among them killed andi would act weird in the beginning and would settle down once they realise she might be the sister or andi survived but in the end they didn't know andi was dead so they wouldn't think about her sister. Only miles acted a lil weird upon seeing her but settled down quickly, the movie doesn't tell if he concluded that andi survived somehow or it's his sister.

They did know. What are you talking about? They didn't know Andi was dead. That was like, a huge aspect to the movie. It's why Dave Baptista's character was killed--because he found out Andi was dead and he knew he did it!

@@kirikakirikakirika well, if you kill someone and you know about the sister, it is a very obvious trap if a look-alike turns up at the party - so they had to rely on the assumption that the killer has no idea about the twin sister, or else it is pretty obvious what is happening and the killer will poke the suspect-fake Andy with questions to test if she is the real one

Knives Out did well and it was shot well, but beyond that it did nothing for me. It felt like an Agatha Christie mystery written by someone who didn't understand the mystery part. I literally guessed the villain the moment I first heard them mentioned and the same was true in Glass Onion. I kept expecting some great reveal about Marta's crazy Go skills meaning she had been playing 4D chess the whole time with everyone including Blanc, like she was a super villain genius all along - instead the Go reference was completely pointless and signified nothing important. Agatha Christie mysteries can leave you feeling hollow from the horror of it all at the end. All Knives Out and Glass Onion made me feel was hollow from how obvious and shallow it all was. Rian is just playing the MCU style race to the bottom game of script writing quality.

@@mnomadvfxthe whole point of Marta’s go skills was to expose the fact that Ransom knew that she would inherit everything, as Harlan talked about her in his conversation with Ransom about the will.

@@mnomadvfx i will say her go skills were part of that, when ransom says " huh, i always thought i was the only one who could beat him at go" was ransom saying he thought he was the only one who could out smart Harlan who was a crime novelist. so in a way it is what you were expecting.

@@mnomadvfx Marta's Go skills were very significant in both symbolism and foreshadowing in the movie. Unlike international chess which I assume would be more familiar to you, the win condition of Go depends on the final score count. However, these score counts consist of both the present pieces as well as the vacant points created by the formation. In other words, taking your opponent's pieces will not simply net you a win. In the movie, it is explained that Marta's Go strategy focused more on creating a beautiful pattern rather than winning. This is actually an entirely valid strategy (albeit drastically simplified). Setting up a formation, or a so-called beautiful pattern, may be more effective in winning a game of Go rather than focusing on taking your opopnent's pieces. Similarly, it is a very obvious metaphor for Marta succeeding by simply being a person of good character (as opposed to Ransom and Marlan's tendency to "outsmart" using their wits). Now, in my opinion, I do find the notion that a novice building a beautiful pattern could defeat an experienced player rather unrealistic. (It would be similiarly ridiculous to suggest that chess skills are somhow direct indicators of intelligence rather than dedication and accumulated knowledge with a tinge of talent. i.e. person good at chess must be smart and vice versa. But hey, that's Hollywood for ya) But for the themes the movie wishes to convey, the game of Go is beyond sufficient. I don't find Knives Out to be a particularly good mystery film. And it's not trying to be that. In my opinion, the series uses the mystery genre and format more so as a vehicle to deliver its social critique (which leaves a lot more to be desired, but then again what more could you expect from a two hour film whose purpose is to entertain than to educate) Regardless of personal opinion (which is more of a slightly intrigued meh), I do think that the scripts have a surprising amount of thought and polish. I think that the level of quality is recognizable even if the audience do not resonate with the writers' ideology (and this I do agree to be obvious and shallow) Your subjective viewing experience is what it is and is entirely valid. However, your complaint regarding the Go metaphor is somewhat... shallow.

They all knew. The blonde says so at the end.

@@2Siders we didn't

The Prestige handled this about as cleverly as you can. Over and over it tells you it's a double but you don't believe it because HJ doesn't believe it and you want it to be more complex. But all the proof is cleverly placed in front of you. Halfway through GO the movie is like "Oh by the way there are twins".

I see Elon musk and watch videos discussing his successes and. Introversion. Because if this comment I searched whether he had siblings and found out he had 2 ( a sister and brother). Never knew that before just now Completely reasonable to not know some famous person has siblings. Especially when they aren’t really in each other’s lives at all which is the case in GO.

@@phenom568 to be fair the prestige didn't have an identical twin. It was a clone. But yeah it also had a ton of setup and clues throughout the movie

So many great female leads to identify with.. LA femme Nikita, Ripley, etc etc

As a teenager (and male) I was a huge fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the Joss Whedon TV series)- and not just because she was hot, I also empathized with and easily saw things from her point of view. Along with numerous other female heroins and leads from various TV shows and movies. Obviously I didn't have the perspective of a teenage girl, but I don't need to share every single aspect of a character in order to find them relatable. The idea that men or boys "can't relate to a female lead" is absurd and insulting and sexist.

I've even seen some well-written Rom-coms with good female leads I could identify with. If you write a good character who's not an author self-insert or a complete blank slate, your audience will find commonalities with them, regardless of genders. But this is the "equity" mindset-people should be forced to like your shitty movie starring a self-centered bitch just to make things even!

I tonya, fury road, Witch, last night in soho and definitely not any movie involved with hunger games actor

@@Sticklemako Were they just talking about action leads in that clip or just women leads in general? Because if it’s the first one, I mean most of those women are made masculine and their identities as women are diminished to make male audiences identify with them more. Take kill bill. The bride only had her child to anchor her to womanhood. Most of these female characters that men identify with are literally written by men.

Kinda like the 4/4 of the actual film...

The whole movie is set up to mock Ed Norton's ideas and portray him as an idiot. But at the end, when Blanc "disrupts" the legal system he's a part of by letting Janelle Monae destroy Norton's house, he essentially adapts Norton's policies. That's not "irony" or "poetic justice," that's just the movie going back on its entire message for a moment of smug self-satisfaction. What an idiot.

you do realize norton’s character is the bad guy right? his notion of just pissing everyone else off is meant to be hatable. he’s not justifying anything.

Nah. It's supposed to be mocking Elon Musk. Johnson just lacks the self-awareness to realize that he's guilty of the same sort of "victim of success" over confidence and excuse making.

This isn’t actually lacking in self awareness. This could just as much be a tacit admission that he was a smart arse when it came to the last Jedi. The reason knives out was successful was because he subverted expectations without betraying the audience. With regards to the ending, you don’t break something for the sake of breaking something, you reveal something to be broken. By revealing Klear to be dangerous, she was able to avenge her sister, and in turn get justice for her sister. You’re allowed think yourself too smart to enjoy these movies but you’re missing out on some fun by not letting yourself get swept up along with it.

@@chadmwilliams89 I don't think it is specifically mocking Musk. The movie was mostly shot when Musk was still the liberals darling. Nortons character also looks like a Steve Jobs-Imitation in the scene where the black lady refuses to go anlong with his hydro plans. The character strikes me as someone who wants to be Jobs or Musk, but simply isn't. The movie depicts him as someone who gets rich implementing other peoples ideas. Thats called managing and done right its nothing to be laughed about - but its not a what he wants to be seen.

I once watched an anime called In/Spectre, where the entire plot was about solving mysteries incorrectly. Basically, they got the clues and rearranged them to fit a completely different narrative, that made just as much sense as the actual solution. It was a very interesting take on the mystery formula that made me realize that the solution to a mystery is whatever the heck you want it to be, provided you can explain it. It's just a shame that the twelve episodes the season had should've been condensed into four or five. They repeated themselves so much!

@@revanth84 Agreed, I really don’t like Rian Johnson. I thought the first guys reply was hilarious though.

well said

I agree. Frankly I think the drinker's review here is just not on point. First of all, the movie is not just a murder mystery but a comedy, and secondly, Knives Out is much, much better than this, and I'm disappointed he lumped them both together

Absolutely fantastic comment. I didn’t even realize the similarity between the two until now.

Same as "Tax the Rich" ... dress

"The biggest irony is that there is a perfect metaphor for the movie within the movie itself. The puzzle box... Rian Johnson thinks he's Benoit Blanc, but he's actually Miles. " ... This is called psychological projection, an extremely common occurrence with highly flawed individuals. Subconsciously, deep down inside, Johnson knows he's a hack. He knows he is Miles. He is attempting to project those flaws onto someone else (a character, in this case) as a self defense mechanism to avoid having to acknowledge those traits within himself.

I wouldn't be surprised if Rian Johnson was sitting around listening to Beatles songs, listened to "Glass Onion" and thought "holy shit, that's the next Knives Out, layer a lot of clues together that end up not meaning anything because the killer is really just dumb, he just seems smart, like Elon Musk!"

The entire movie itself is just one big glass onion, seemingly complex at first glance but increasingly mundane and obvious the longer and closer you look. I have to admit IF RJ had actually done this on purpose it would be an impressive subversion, unfortunately his recent works show he lacks the intelligence to have done this on purpose just making the entire thing an epic unintentional self-troll. He just lacks the self-awareness to even notice it happening right in front of him...

Exactly lmao. It’s obvious that his contempt for Rian Johnson framed his perception of this movie before he ever saw it.

@@iansmart4158 Helen is short hand the video uses for Helen or Andi.

That was the whole point. For the killer to be fucused on Blanc instead of Hellen.

maybe this movie was introspective??

Found another guy who has a grudge on RJ for whatever reason!

Why do I get the feeling that the reason Blanc keeps insulting Clue in this movie is because Rian Johnson always lost at it?

The point of the film isn't the murder mystery. It's called "Glass Onion" for a reason. You have to peel the layers of an onion to see its core. You can see straight to the core of a glass onion. It's an allegory for how we view high society in contrast with what they actually are (which is explicit in the film). We allow ourselves to be blinded by their layers of "sophistication" and wealth when we can literally look right past that and see the truth.

@@soggmeisterlasagnagarfield The title of the film is "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery." Mystery is literally in the title, not to mention that they put it in the "mystery/crime" genre, marketed it as a murder mystery, and it is a direct sequel to an Agatha Christie-inspired murder mystery film and features the same detective character. This movie does not get to have a terribly-written bullshit mystery plot and then excuse it with the defense that it's not actually a mystery movie.

@@MissCookieThief The Title is like an oxymoron. I know it's a terrible movie murder mystery, but that's not the point. The moral of the story is timeless and is especially relevant right now (also explicit in the film). Yes, it's bad and seemingly halfassed, but the plot isn't the purpose. If you still think it's supposed to be a murder mystery, you just allowed yourself to be trolled by Rian Johnson

It's a sequel to a "murder mystery" where the obvious red herring turned out to actually be the killer. What were you expecting?

@Soggmeister The only one trolled here is you if you think that a man who was handed 100's of millions of dollars to hire a dozen millionaires from Hollywood to preach about the flaws of idolizing "high society" is timeless and meaningful commentary.

I think you nailed. You can caught in the riptide before you have time to think. But the ending got so dumb that I don't think any editing could hide it unless you were unwilling.

@@MrGabox345 That makes zero sense.

For God's sake don't you recognize a parody when you see one?🤣

I mean, you are right when you say that editing and pacing are the secret, but this movie does not really move at a breakneck pace and is in fact super fair when it comes to editing. You can literally spot the murderer doing things. Even in small scenes like the gunshot, there are no cuts for almost 20 seconds when the killer aims just so a dialogue you can't hear at that moment can happen, and is shown later. Yet people call it lazy or stupid. "Not getting time to think because the movie moves along" is practically the definition of Fridge Logic.

just throw so much at you at such a pace that you don't even have time to realize how shitty and poorly written it all is lmao just a blitzkrieg of bullshit lmao

A painting famous because it was stolen not because it was great. Its one of the many apt metaphors of destroying it while at the same time destroying Edward Nortons character. Definitely agree it was stupid to put the paper that close to him but not completely unreasonable to get an ego when you think you've won.

The worst thing about that was the shot framing. Andi looked like she was further away and it never establishes she was as close to Miles until he suddenly burns the napkin. The movie had terrible cinematography.

Not me. For the first half i thought "they antman 2-ed the detective. Because he was acting SO MUCH DUMBER THAN THE FIRST MOVIE. Then they revealed that he was smart, just incompetent without the black woman doing everything for him.

The problem with that twist was its functionally deus ex machina. There was no way for the audience to have known that, and it was completely inconsistent with the facts presented so far (the inventor guy would have immediately known it was the twin, having personally killed his old partner, and strongly suspected she was the one that brought the detective. But actually he greeted her and treated her like the murdered twin, and didn’t immediately kick out the detective).

@@KingEgyptianno you didn’t dont lie for likes

Same. I was watching and when Batista was murdered, I thought, wow, how much time is left? When I saw it was half way through and there was still another hour left, I knew it wasn't going to be good. The twin sister flashback back story stuff was too much.

Lara Croft, Commander Shepard (Sometimes), Ellen Ripley, Sarah Connor would be on the list but I don't really relate to somebody who is that determined lol

Street Fighter female characters (notably Chun-Li), Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield, Rebecca Chambers.

Male writers who wrote countless amazing female leads: "are we a joke to you?"

What does "identify with" even have to do with entertainment? Usually you are supposed to empathize with the main character, but you can do that regardless of their gender or ethnicity. I can't identify with any characters in The Wire, none of them represent my life experience, but I can empathize with them. I can understand their motivations and life circumstances that lead to their decisions.

Realistically, I can not identify with most leads. Sam Tarly would be the character I identify most with in GOT. Definitely not John Snow.

The amount of rave reviews just indicates how many people have never read a good muder mystery in their life. Yes, I am talking about books.

Yeah these films definitely aren't meant to be taken seriously, its parody. I thought the original did it better however, although I still enjoyed Glass Onion for what it is.

how dare you express a nuanced opinion about media on the internet. Don't you know that everything has to be flawless or pure garbage all the time?

Nobody was making the Titanic here, we can afford some levity and leeway to make room for a story.

Right. All these people usually complain about movies not allowed to be just fun anymore complaining about a movie that's just trying to be fun. Not every movie needs to be a deep character study. These are meant to be caricatures
