Detective Blanc found dirt from outside on the hidden entry’s window sill, but we see that when Marta climbs through, her feet don’t touch it. But when ransom climbs through later on, his foot scrapes the windowsill, leaving dirt on it. This movie is crazy detailed
The movie screams to the viewer to pay attention to the details, there's a lot of misdirection but the real evidence is pretty obvious.
Not really a clue, but i was confused as to why le blanc was playing a piano key during interviews until I realized he was doing cue times for the audio recordings, everything time someone said anything interesting. If u ever used an iPhone recorder you’ll know the sound waves are fairly accurate and would show a spike in volume, making it easy to identify and return back in the future
No actually he was just letting the police guy know he wanted him to ask the suspect’s time of arrival at the party
Bro, whatever you're on I want some
@@DiegoGonzalez-ic3si Morphin?
I thought he was just "making a note" of what they said.
U forgot the part when Marta and Ransom were in his house, there was a line of bottles on the table, I assume containing alcohol, but one of the bottle was missing, because Ransom already used it to burn down the toxicology lab. A very clever touch by the director, it’s the little details like these that make the movie great.
They gave away the ended at the beginning of the movie when Harland said to Marta “Ransom can’t tell the difference between a real and a fake knife”
That’s not a clue to Ransom being the orchestrator of Harlan’s death - Ransom used no knife there. Instead it was foreshadowing/setup for the attack on Marta. Ransom thought he had picked up a legitimate knife, but it was a prop.
@@arkoudanthrope It gave away the end that the knife he grabbed was a fake one.
This is when I knew. It was an Easter egg. He said Ransom's name as the knife was shown across his neck, I knew at that point somehow it would be Ransom. Then the dog barking comment and the dogs barking at him when he arrived confirmed it.
es, one more, subtle. when Marta and Ranson talk about blackmail in Ranson house in am you can notice newyorker on the table, suggesting that Ranson knew about detective from journal
I mean, given that Ransom specifically asked that Marta give him his cut of the inheritance for him helping her, I didn't think it was too out of character for him to do so, and it was also possible this was just a hidden depth of the guy. Guy is established to be an arse, turns out to be not-so-bad after all. Love moments like that.
Well there's that scene where Martha and Harland play go... Just as Harland talks about Ranson, a statue of a knife gets in the middle of the frame, just over Harland's throat. To me that was a clear giveaway; a clue not given by the script, but by the movie itself.
To me the combination of the dogs barking + the grandma saying "Ransom are you back?" gave away the murderer for me. However, I didn't guess the how he did it, as I thought Harlan had fake killed himself with a prop knife and that he was the one who had swapped the bottles when he knocked the table over in the game of Go before actually being killed later. It just shows how many red herrings are in the story, even if the clues are all there.
The Easter egg. He said Ransom's name as the knife was shown across his neck, I knew at that point somehow it would be Ransom. Then the dog barking comment and the dogs barking at him when he arrived confirmed it.
You are really good at copying what the film revealed already
Amen buddy
Exactly
yeah, I'm disappointed
another subtle message, while climbing to get to the secret window Marta breaks the ledge, which was weak because of the heavier ransom climbing on it earlier.
Harlan explains the whole twist while Marta panics about the morphine. The fake knife too.
That's just the how, as for the killer it's obvious when the dogs bark at Ransom.
I am not sure about the clue with the dogs barking in the middle of the night of the death. In the beginning they said that happened about 3 a.m. Although Ransom was back much earlier than that, definitely before 23:30 so he can switch the medicines and take the antidote.
But, as explained later, he came back at 3 am to switch the medicines back to normal, but was stopped by the dogs which kept barking. He then decided to do that during the funeral
When did the blood ran on the shoe?
I'm asking the same
When he slashes his own throat a drop must have flown all the way to the door.
@@night1952 yeah but it's kinda hard ... almost impossible ... and when Harlan cut his neck Marta closed the door immediately ... so idk...That's what i thought same as u...but idk...it was cool anyway
So why did Harlan reveal to hugh that martha would be the sole beneficiary to the inheritance?? Also... why didn't hugh break anything while climbing the outside wall? He's much heavier than martha no??
I feel like I remember benoit saying in his monologue that both ransom and harlen were dramatic and harlen just wanted to rub it in. for ther other thing, maybe ransom was more careful cuz he was less nervous and shaken? idk though
The movie says that it would be out of character for Harlan to only give half of his victory away, so he tells Ransom about the will and Marta. For the trellis thing, maybe Ransom weakened it already climbing on it, so Marta added just enough strain to break it.
I thought that the reason the tresses broke when Marta was climbing them was because they had to deal with the stress of Ransom climbing up and then back down them, so when Marta climb up them one of the toggles finally broke. Thus being a clue that she wasn’t the only person to use this entrance recently
2:46 that moment is most likely lost in all the foreign translations of the film, lol. Such a word play, you can't translate it.
I knew right away who was the murderer after watching the movie
I still believe that Marta orchestrated everything. She allowed Benoit to follow the crumbs and played Ransom right til the end. She showed that by being observant and letting the big boys bark at each other they will bark themselves up the wrong tree. Her handling of Benoit is especially telling. Her pretending to be helpless when Ransom tries to blackmail her is also a clue. She is putting the pieces together as the story unfolds and squeezes right out of the middle as Benoit and Ransom collide. Her expression at the end is priceless as she played them all
S 2G bc she was better than ransom at the game that’s how she knew how to beat him for framing her
Movie also ends with her holding the cup, which only shows 'My House'
But Marta had no idea she was going to inherit Harlan's money, so has no reason to kill him.
I suspect when Ransom start helping Martha, and confirmed Martha is innocent when Blanc took his leasure time reading the tox report.
1:36 How did they cut the knife in, I don’t remember that being there!
Alright here’s my theory. Marta was actually the mastermind behind all of the acts in this movie, she is the only one that really interacts with Harlan. In the flashbacks we see that she would be the one that influences Harlan’s decisions towards family members. She has already been displayed to be much smarter than believed, by beating the grandpa in GO every time so she clearly has strong thinking skills. She also mentions in the beginning that she wins because she isn’t playing to beat him but to build a beautiful pattern, to play things in her own way which is turning the game around and to have them in her own terms. The other person who could beat harlan was ransom however it was stated that Marta has won more times than ransom has which indicates Marta is smarter. Marta knew the differences between the vials and applies the correct medication because she didn’t want any traces back to her for the murder so she convinces Harlan to kill himself so she has no association with his death other than being witness to it. The reason the grandma refers to Marta as Ransom is because they both were playing the game to kill Harlan. Marta planned for ransom to legit give cause for EVERY family member to kill him but nothing points to her. At the end she looks at ransom as he is put away and they both glare at eachother because he knows that he lost her game. She stands at the top holding the mug to symbolise that she is above all, she was the true central point of the “doughnut hole” and that she now owns it all. So in short she masterminded the plan to trick Harlan into pissing off the whole family and give them cause to kill him, then put her in his will and have ransom the only other person shown to have a high IQ to take the bait and commit the murder. At the very beginning it’s when the show is being watched by the sister, she claims that she’s so close to seeing the end and is reluctant to stop watching however ends up stopping watching the show claiming she already knows who the killer is. So she claims to know who the killer is but doesn’t know how it will end, similar to the spot with Marta. The detective claims to know who the killer was with his big speech and such however MAYBE he wasn’t entirely correct. Notice how this show really lives to emphasise 2. 2 mins left of the show, 2 dogs, 2 main suspects (Marta ransom), 2 cops, 2 doughnut holes. The detective was so eager to end the investigation that he simply missed the 2 and in this case was the other “killer”.
OMG! Thank you! This whole movie makes since now! I knew all along that Marta was the real killer!
i feel like when ransom goes to stab marta and hes on top of her it looks like they kinda have a look of almost like understanding and then he goes to jail. also why didnt they just ask marta "did u murder harlan?" she wouldnt have been able to lie anyway so they couldve gotten her out of the way as a suspect or found the true murderer. maybe marta and ransom were working together but they just hadnt secured ransoms side of the story well enough quite yet. i also feel like the clues were so obvious if not, TOO obvious for them to not have been fabricated. ransom already knew to be careful of the mud, for footprints so why did he walk right through it again after getting over the gate if he had been thinking about it. either marta framed ransom but it turns out he was actually going to kill harlan, or they were working together, or the movie's actual plot is correct. marta couldve easily established trust and then changed the narrative to fit her story, especially bc she had so much on the line.
@@lolavernetti1329 I believe Marta fabricated this whole act. Her and ransom were essentially playing a chess game however she was always one step ahead the biggest clue which gave it away to me was the beginning “I already know who the killer is” without knowing the ending, I.E herself being the killer but not knowing if she will get away with it (the ending), I don’t think they worked together but I do believe when ransom got caught he realised that she masterminded this whole act
@@r3a1itygamezz14 that would explain why he looks up at her almost in disbelief while she looks at him like he is a piece or horse crap. he also sorta shakes his head as he gets into the police car, but both of those could work for it any way. good job diving into the plot, ur v smart.
Let's go pops, time for bed. Don't forget your meds
Um, these aren’t clues, they are just the plot points. Christ.
Plot points that imply his guilt before the reveal. In other words, clues.
Great Nana mistakes Marta for Ransom; so, there are any number of people she could have seen, and mistaken them for Ransom.
Nice
One more: when Marta says are you sorry for coming with me and Ransom replies I’m sorry I didn’t bring the Beemer.
Chris was the murdered and i didn't expect it . Awesome movie
Marta is the killer.
If Harlan were injected with 33x his regular dose of morphine he would know instantly, because he would be super high.
He even referred to it as "the good stuff". Injecting drugs gets you high right away and he would know that he wasn't feeling the same way as when he got some morphine. Both Harlan and Marta (a nurse!) would know that he didn't get an overdose of morphine.
This fact alone makes this movie terrible.
It must be hard for you to enjoy any movie if one little error ruins the entire movie for you. There aren't many movies where you can say "they did everything exactly right".
Nah, richard has got a very valid point. It takes away from the atmosphere, writes the script off instantly because its supposed to be a well thought of movie playing cat and mouse. It pretty much gave up to some of us with this stupid error.
I thought they played it either way. Like if you wanted to you could think Harlan knows he's not going to die and realises his grandson has switched his medication and he's committed suicide anyway because he knows ransom will hire an investigator to prove Marta's guilt and so he chose to have his death be a true murder mystery, end it with a flourish. They did say fully formed plots would just come to him. And he trusts in this one last game of his between Marta and his grandson Marta will win because she beat him more often than Ransom did at his games, and she'll get the inheritance, because the tox report will prove her innocence, and his grandson will face the consequence of trying to kill him. He'd just settled all the scores with his family and got to die in a murder mystery; truly, solely, suicide. Or you just buy that he didn't realise and thought he was gonna die. But I think the movie works either way.
I was with you until the last line. I thought you were going to say that's brilliant foreshadowing
By eventually they mean after several watches of the movie. Also Ransom is the most non-red-herring of red-herrings.
One thing I don't understand from many of the comments on Knives Out youtube videos is that they seem to agree with Blanc's assertion that they treated Marta like shit. That's far from what I got from it. They checked on her to see how she was doing after the tragedy. Meg stood up for her to the police detective. They praised her work ethic. Walt said they would take care of her financially before the will was even read. I mean, their reactions after the will reading are very understandable. I think Harlan is far more villainous than people think. He didn't even warn his family that they would be cut out.
Because many of their "niceness" is fake, they care about her when its convenient for them. The scene talking about immigrants and all of them saying she's from a different country/the husband handing her his plate when he's done shows they don't truly care about her. Plus they all say they wanted her at the funeral but were overruled, so obviously a lie, like the rest of their niceness to her is a lie. Megs probably the closest to being nice but again its a bit of an act cause she wants to be "woke"
@@lucyb8285 There are explanations. It's entirely possible that they don't know her true nationality. Her mother is an illegal immigrant, so it would not be surprising for Marta not to have told her where she was from. As for the funeral, it could be that they thought she might be traumatized by it, so they decided not to tell her. They actually tried to use her as an example of somebody getting into the country legitimately.
Mega the only one who gets a somewhat pass because she really did care about her she’s just stupid for bringing up her mom to the family

Marta was the killer, she is guilty. The blood on her shoe is such a giveaway.
