I wish Knives Out would’ve been nominated for costume design bc I want the person who gave Chris Evans that pretty white sweater in this one scene to get some recognition.
That sweater was everything!!!!! I so clearly remember thinking how beautiful it was and then noticed how tattered it was in the sleeves that I found myself questioning Ransom. I noticed the shoes too.
I hate how little the continuity or script supervisor is getting called out cus several things he mentions they'd have their hands in, the eyelines and phone time especially
Rian introducing all the actors except Chris Evans : "Brilliant, hilarious, my favorite person, love their past projects" Rian introducing Chris Evans: "Look at this cookie in his mouth!!"
I now view Captain America VERY differently after his performance on Knives Out. I LIKE the dubious, villainous, darkness of Ransom. I very easily slid right along with him in this character. This movie was such a treat
I loved the gag that Martha was, everytime somebody talked about her, from a different country. (And none of it was Cuba, where Ana de Armas actually comes from.)
xyoxus One of my favorite gags too. But Cuba couldn't be her country of origin in the film because there's no threat of deportation for being here illegally.
It's so well done. I also like the similar running gag that Marta wasn't invited to the funeral, and each of the family members ensures her that they were outvoted ;D And then that exact thing happened to Greta Gerwig at the golden globes
I love how he says he adjusted his shots to allow Daniel Craig to go on longer. I get frustrated when filmmakers don't play to their assets. If an actor is killing it, allow them the space to elevate. It makes both the actor and the director look smart. Some people have too much ego to adjust their plans.
I'm glad you brought it up, I would have written this if you haven't 😂 But yeah, it takes a really skilled director to recognize the golden moment when it happens.
I agree, though it sounds like it's rare for film actors to be off book for that many pages of dialogue so they sometimes may not have the option but to cut a lot.

Jacob Eriksson I just wish when people did commentaries they could pause on each shot and talk about every single detail instead of having to get it all out in the same length as the movie.
I love that he changed the lines to make it PG-13. Seeing these kind of movies as a 12-16 year old would have really helped how I saw movies at a younger age. Also made it so my whole family could enjoy the movie.
I appreciate that too, although it seems like a very nominal difference...for instance, if I were a parent, I doubt I would be any more likely to show my kids a movie with two f-bombs than a movie with 20.
And "bad words" really are rarely needed to get the point across. They don't even make it "more realistic." The "realistic" movies full of swearing actually jar me because I don't hear that kind of language all the time IRL. I hear more of it IRL than you get in most PG-13 movies, but not the prolonged and repeated strings of it. Moreover, I doubt anybody notices their absence, except in some very key circumstances where the replacement words sound corny. Live Free or Die Hard had almost no F-bombs, while the older Die Hards were chock full of them. The only point where they would have been missed, though, is the iconic "Yippee-kai-yay" line, and that's where it was kept. On the other hand, a very well-placed swear word is all the more powerful when it's used sparingly. Data's use of it in Star Trek: Generations could not have been anything else and had the impact that line did, but that line would have had so much less impact if that kind of language were common to Star Trek. Heck, ironically, despite being "less bad" than the f-word, "eat excrement" is more visceral and disgusting, and makes their reactions all the more believable, than a simple throw-away curse like the f-bomb. You can almost feel Ransom wanting them to take his words literally, where with "f-you," there's no way he wants to do that in any literal sense. Which, again, I think, makes it more powerful.
The casting decisions of having high profile actors act alongside Ana was so good for the story line. Naturally the audience overlooks characters played by lesser-known actors and that was crucial to the story.
@@jesseoneill1964 yes and because she’s not as well known about, viewers naturally may not be paying as much attention to her as they should for example people won’t suspect her to be a major part of the plot. It’s not obvious right away she’s the main character.
@@josendrado I mean now yeah, she's huge, but I'm pretty sure that this was her first leading role. Only thing I've seen before this movie is that she was in Blade Runner 2049, but she was a background role. I never even would have recognized her.
If you watched interviews with the cast, you'd know they often mentioned how Rian would be giggling during the shoot. He was so excited and so passionate that he couldn't contain himself. Makes me really happy that we still have great directors who care about their craft.
If he was so concerned about details, why did he miss the biggest hole in the plot? 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.
LMAO BUT what if like there's a character who has an iphone but we never see them using it? rian only said 'bad guys cannot have iphones on camera' so what if we never see them using it but maybe we see their phone ring so we know its theirs or something. that would throw you off
Happytan Nope, sequel confirmed a little while back with the Benoit Blanc character. _In January 2020, Johnson confirmed that he was writing a sequel, intended to focus on Blanc investigating a new mystery. Craig is expected to reprise his role, and acknowledged interest in the project. On February 6, 2020, Lionsgate announced that a sequel had been greenlit._
I've been obsessed with this movie. It has so many layers. It's a donut hole that fits perfectly within a donut of a movie. But Rian takes us further to help us realize that the donut hole at the center is not a donut hole at all but a smaller donut with its own hole.
The US Army also does something similar where it won't provide support in films that are critical of the US military. So films that are critical of the military will probably have fewer real military equipment and personnel on screen.
@@fredy2041 He didn't really, he just said the people that harrassed the actors are assholes. He makes only fun of people who say that something is objectively bad. I don't see how the director that got the most hate in years, can't clap back a little..
So Rian Johnson: Praises all the cast and crew in this film extensively Focuses on the importance of cinematography in every shot Plays to every actor/actresses strength Effortlessly weaves together the threads to create a coherent story Constantly remembers the themes and importance of a story like this. Is this the perfect director? Is this the perfect man?!??
I honestly love The Last Jedi, flaws and all. I can really tell that Rian truly cares about each film he makes. Knives Out was easily my favorite film of last year.
Knives Out is a wonderful film. Rian's hubris with respect to his spin on The Last Jedi outweighed any care he may have had. There is no defense of Last Jedi which is quantified by JJ's efforts to repair it in the last film. There is no perfect director as there is no perfect man.
I wish he broke down the will reading scene, i would like to know how he did that shot where the camera started with a dolly zoom then transformed to a shaky cam.
I loved that because it showed the transition into chaos :) I think it was meant to mirror zombie films, with the family being the herd of bloodthirsty undead
Ok they are delicious, but seriously: Minute after minute after minute?! It's not like you pick one every now and then whenever yowss walk by the livingroom table.

This guy is such pure class. I love how he directed arguably both the best and the most controversial episodes of Breaking Bad, then went on to write and direct the most controversial Star Wars film, and then he just gracefully shrugged off whatever fan outrage and has just gone on to make more great movies. Class act.
Andreas Nordvall “Controversial” is not the word you’re looking for. F is for family is controversial and great, South Park is controversial and great, TLJ was controversial because it had a lot of plot holes, and that Rian Johnson only wanted to see what he would’ve seen in the film, not the fans
Sir Potatous Headis Limberg well, fans got what they wanted with rise of skywalker. Good timezzz of remembrance that remount to nothing. At least his had a message to deliver.
Okay, for real though, how was this movie NOT nominated for Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, and Best Cinematography at the Oscars? Edit: Okay, maybe not Cinematography.
I love how people actually act like this is a guy who doesnt care about the movies he makes. Maybe you didn't like the last Jedi, but you have to admit that this guy loves what he's doing
@Joshua Simpson as a filmmaker, he clearly understands how they were made, so if by Research you mean you don't think he watched the other movies, that doesn't make any sense. Its a series of movies, not particle physics. Just because he intepreted the original movies differently doesnt mean he didnt do his research.
*spoiler alert* I'm always fascinated by how ambient lighting can really tell you a lot about a person's motivation in a movie. Most everyone is in a well-lit area of the room, and they are diametrically opposed (in position and in lighting) to Ransom whose face is half well-lit and half darkened, symbolizing how he has a two-faced persona; one that he presents to the family, the other hiding his own secrets until the very end while everyone else's are exposed throughout the movie. In this scene the family has basically encircled around him because they need someone to blame and vent their frustrations off of, and Ransom is just that scapegoat that they'll use, and their positioning in this scene really encapsulates that well. Blanc, Marta, and the police officer are positioned off in the back because they're neutrally observing (like the people in the picture frames) and Marta is innocent. None of them are here to place blame, just seeing all of this chaos unfold. And the props are very detailed and deliberate, war-time statues symbolic of how aggressive the family is and what their priorities are.
It really isn't. It's almost universally loved and got plenty of nods (deservedly). Midsommar is ACTUALLY underrated because it got practically nothing
This movie is a masterpiece and the proof is in the pudding. SO much detail and thought put into every single frame. Talented director who surrounded himself with talented people and made a beast of a movie. Also loved learning that Michael Shannon is hilarious off set and on. :)
He is slowly becoming one of the most interesting modern directors after each new film. You can really see his growth while finding his signature style.
Isaiah Williams I cant believe I used to be like that. I initially wanted to avoid this cause I was a toxic Star Wars fan, but I saw it at an early screening anyways. After I saw it I rewatched TLJ with an open mind and it’s one of my favorites now. Never looking at the internet for my opinions again😁
i think rian johnson and knives out is the opposite of auteurship. he is fully aware that filmmaking is a team effort, and actively shouting out every member of the team and bringing out their strengths and letting them play and working with them to benefit the film, instead of having a ruling vision.
This is the best one of this y'all have ever done. It's legitimately fascinating to hear a director actually talk about the craft and logistics of filmmaking, and the decision making process that happens. More of this, please and thank you.
Seriously, I have to give Ryan Johnson just an immense amount of praise for how he designed this film. He went to such lengths to put in compositional elements that, at the time, I didn't even notice, because I was too busy enjoying the characters. And that just shows how great of a director he is.
will vermillion I love ‘Looper’ and ‘TLJ’; in fact, I would personally rank those above ‘Knives Out’. Nevertheless, that’s my opinion and I respect yours; film, much like any other art form, is subjective. With that said, ‘Brick’ is an RJ movie that I personally didn’t vibe with but I can’t say I didn’t feel the passion behind it and his drive to make something unique/personal.
@@andreaflores7799 I personally loved "Looper", thought "Knives Out" was very good. TLJ is the odd one out for me. Thought it was a great Sci-fi movie if it stood alone but not the best Star Wars movie imo. Felt like it broke the stride started in TFA. The backlash and change of pace forced JJ to use TROS to try and "fix" plot holes created by TLJ. I think he's an excellent director but just didn't fit for Star Wars imo. Tbh the one thing I hated the most was him just spacing Admiral Ackbar instead of using him in Holdo's role. Would have made the movie for me personally.
I’ve never respected a director so much. Wow. He really knows a LOT about how each scene is filmed. He even knows exactly who works on each thing and remembers each detail that they point out to him that they’re going to do and honestly working with him must be great bc he doesn’t seem to underestimate anyone that he works with 🥺
Is this what film school is like? This was a very thoughtful and fascinating dissection. I learned something today and I’m really excited to watch this movie!
I feel like revealing that Apple secret is more against Apple than other directors. Now they'll have to change that policy or risk no one ever using their products in a movie again. The ball is now in their court.
I think his joke is more that directors will now be frustrated because we, as viewers, know that if they try to make us guess who the surprise villain is, we can eliminate characters as suspects if they're seen with an iPhone
Rob Moden yes, that's the joke. And he may have literally ruined the mystery for movies in the immediate future (if true). But, if what he revealed is Apple's policy, it's a stupid one. Samsung, etc, can now make the product endorsement deals and Apple would lose out. That was a passive-aggressive dig at Apple and its policies.
i'm kind of surprised he would say something like that because i'm sort of assuming he signed a contract with apple which would probably include whether or not he could publicize the details and terms of said contract. i'm pretty sure someone might be held accountable for this in larger ways than just an audience getting spoilers.
Apple and their subtle manipulation of social cues has their followers really believing that they are better people for choosing iPhones and crap like this fuels it.
Zena222 you’re totally missing the beat. It’s a genius branding strategy on Apple’s part. No one associates the brand with the villain. Apple retains their wholesome brand image.
You can't watch this video and come off thinking Rian Johnson doesn't absolutely adore his craft. Whether or not you like his stuff doesn't matter, he clearly loves what he does and is proud of it
I’d like to formally apologize to Rian for the negative comments I said about the last Jedi. You’re a fantastic director and you didn’t deserve the hate
@@heartless604 ay man I love SW and thoroughly hated Last Jedi but don't be that idiot who thinks that just cause a person made a bad movie in a franchise you like means he deserves petty backlash and excessive hate comments. Say what you want about the movie but have at least a little respect for Rian
As a digital cinematography major, 14:57 - 16:24 made me so happy to watch him draw a lighting plot and actually understand what he's talking about and using the same symbols I use for my plots :)
I would love to see Chris play more villains! He played Random so well and so intimidating and hilarious and it’s really refreshing to see him not get typecasted
Jamie Lee Curtis is absolutely gorgeous! I love she isnt trying to look younger than she is. There is a sophistication that a woman gains when she gets older.
@@mememanbehindtheshadows546 Star Wars fans destroy Star Wars. Just look at the prequels. Just look at what people say about Kathleen Kennedy and Rian Johnson.
I love how he really went in teaching mode. Not only explaned how he they did the shots, but also breaks down the thought process and what one as a filmmaker has to think about in terms of eyeline etc. Learned a lot, Thanks
this breakdown and this movie prove that it pays to have a skilled team at every level, not just the director or writer or cast. The cinematographer, the post production, the production design, the costume design - each level so well thought out but handled by the part of the team proficient in that area comes together to make an incredible movie.
@2:53 "This will ruin me on the next mystery I write-" And then he made sure that in Glass Onion, most phones were away or not seen. He made sure that the trick he taught us couldn't be used against him
I payed attention for that due to this video and the only person with apple products was the detective in the beggining with the laptop in the tab playing among us xD It was clearly a jab at us for even trying to use this trick in his next movie
His appreciation for Ana de Armas is spot on. Knives Out is a brilliant movie but the reason I keep returning to it is her performance as Marta! One of my all time favorite, for sure
This man is one of my favorite directors and this video is such a clear example of why: the thought he puts in! the detail! his breakdown of the technical aspects! his enthusiasm over the talent of his cast and the cookies! what a king.
Wow, this is by far the most complete and useful of scene breakdowns. Rian Johnson is just passionate about everything in the movie, and he isn't afraid to get into technical details. He just doesn't assume we're dumb and that feels great
but he gave an ipad to daniel craig as a “prize” for solving his game (which he kinda reverse that statement he gave in this video) but everyone else has an android phone which makes you think that each one of them helps on the murder
And in fact, additional spoiler, the only person who really has a phone is made very notable in the story, and they end up killing them off while all the other characters don't even really have their phones around until it's questioned. Such a small detail that makes me wonder if he did that solely because of this interview lol, that way you would never know who the killer was really
I met Rian at SXSW in 2018 & he is not only a genius of a writer/director, he is such a nice human being! I can’t wait to see him win a Best Director Oscar soon!
Wow this was like the best of the Director's break down a scene that i've seen. Rian is soooo nice, it must have been such a pleasure for all these actors to make the film with him, and you can tell that there were also so many technical aspects to how this scene was constructed, I'm blown away and definitely inspired!!!
As a Belgian fan I can confirm i got all excited when a I saw Ransom eating Speculoos through and through. It's one of our few national treasures next to waffles, fries with mayo, chokotoff and mussels. Well done Rian!
He was allowed to do what he wanted with The Last Jedi. But in a way, you're right. The Force Awakens did limit his choices. Where he went with it was genius nonetheless in my opinion.
@@BTTFMovie Indeed. TLJ had some seeds of a phenomenal movie but it had the issue of being in the middle of a trilogy and that fundamentally limits what Johnson could do.
Rian would have done an incredible job if he had the entire trilogy. Instead, he was left with JJ's mediocre fan film and did the best he could to build off of it. I think the reason people didn't like TLJ was because they couldn't handle the risks that Rian took and what he did to preexisting things. I really loved TLJ
I love the positivity in this comment section. There are still some haters as always, but in the 122 comments there currently are I only found 7. Yay Rian! Love you bud, can't wait for the next one.
@@dmjosh86 are you sure because I can still find the negative comments I responded to.

"Rian Johnson fanboys over his actors, actresses, and various team members."
I would too honestly.
If you watched interviews with the cast, you'd know they often mentioned how Rian would be giggling during the shoot. He was so excited and so passionate that he couldn't contain himself. Makes me really happy that we still have great directors who care about their craft.
Yet when we fanboys don't like something we get called manbaby
He's not a bad fanboy who can be very big manbabies. He's a good fanboy.
@@phillyskyguy9535 Still carrying that TLJ cross? Really?? This many years later?? Pretty pathetic little buddy.....lol
This level of detail is much appreciated.
If he was so concerned about details, why did he miss the biggest hole in the plot? 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.

Knives out is awesome and so is The Last Jedi. Sorry.
Matthieu Rego lmao that movie is dogshit
The whole Apple thing is so....Apple.
Quickie By Pepe absolutely 😂
That is not exclusive to just Apple, Rolex has a similar rule too if I remember correctly
And all the funnier because in real life, bad guys prefer Apple because it's encrypted and locked down.
One of the most evil companies doesn't want fictional evil characters using their technology.... who knew hahahahaha
A radio host shared this clip and summarized it with "because Apple is villian enough" LOL
Next murder mystery film he does, every character will use an android just the throw us off
its like orient express all over again
LMAO BUT what if like there's a character who has an iphone but we never see them using it? rian only said 'bad guys cannot have iphones on camera' so what if we never see them using it but maybe we see their phone ring so we know its theirs or something. that would throw you off
Martha also had an android phone

i want knives out to be a series, different cases and only Blanc is the retaining cast member.
They actually are already planning on that. I'm pretty happy about it
Well that is literally what is happening.
Smailien and Jonathan B... WHAT? You gotta be joking right??
Happytan Nope, sequel confirmed a little while back with the Benoit Blanc character.
_In January 2020, Johnson confirmed that he was writing a sequel, intended to focus on Blanc investigating a new mystery. Craig is expected to reprise his role, and acknowledged interest in the project. On February 6, 2020, Lionsgate announced that a sequel had been greenlit._
Jonathan B Wtf. That’s cool and thx. I wish Chris Evans could be in it tho. Tbh I loved the whole cast so I feel like I would miss them
I've been obsessed with this movie. It has so many layers. It's a donut hole that fits perfectly within a donut of a movie. But Rian takes us further to help us realize that the donut hole at the center is not a donut hole at all but a smaller donut with its own hole.

The US Army also does something similar where it won't provide support in films that are critical of the US military. So films that are critical of the military will probably have fewer real military equipment and personnel on screen.
Interesting and kinda dumb, on Apple's part.
Technically not true since actors playing Steve Jobs has had all sorts of Apple products in the many films about his life.
As a film student he really is answering all the questions I had in my head while watching this movie
Yeah, I feel like he's teaching a class about the film
@samant wouldn’t mind that
It's like I'm in a masterclass for film-making for free
Haha, I don't have to pay to get the same information :)
You should watch Studio Binder
My God! This man loooves cinema, you can just tell. That's why he's so good at what he does and that's why "Knives Out" is such a wonderful film.
That's the mark of a good director, they love movies and film in general, like Tarantino said: if you love film you can't make bad movies
“Son”
“Father”
LMAO
It could only have been funnier if he said "daddy" instead of "father".

God I bet Chris Evans was so stoked to play a bad guy for once. They all nailed it
He actually played quite the sociopathic bad guy in The Iceman with Michael Shannon.
I feel like before Cap I mostly knew him for playing douchebags (although not necessarily “villains”).
He was actually typically cast as bad guys before the MCU
He was an evil ex in Scott pilgrim
I actually can't see him as a good guy but more of a popular douche like human torch, Scott Pilgrim etc
Rian Johnson is such an enthusiastic dork about his movies. It's infectious. :)
That's what makes him entertaining, his just a huge nerd that loves movies. (:
Expext on TLJ, when he trolled all audiences who disliked the film
@@fredy2041 He didn't really, he just said the people that harrassed the actors are assholes. He makes only fun of people who say that something is objectively bad. I don't see how the director that got the most hate in years, can't clap back a little..
Jan Kraft no they simply critiqued it or saying they disliked it and he just used hubris on them and call them names
@@memebrain2177 that is not true. Stop spreading lies.
So Rian Johnson:
Praises all the cast and crew in this film extensively
Focuses on the importance of cinematography in every shot
Plays to every actor/actresses strength
Effortlessly weaves together the threads to create a coherent story
Constantly remembers the themes and importance of a story like this.
Is this the perfect director?
Is this the perfect man?!??
I honestly love The Last Jedi, flaws and all. I can really tell that Rian truly cares about each film he makes. Knives Out was easily my favorite film of last year.
Knives Out is a wonderful film. Rian's hubris with respect to his spin on The Last Jedi outweighed any care he may have had. There is no defense of Last Jedi which is quantified by JJ's efforts to repair it in the last film. There is no perfect director as there is no perfect man.
@@ashleymarks6144 The Last Jedi is one of the best Star Wars movies so far.
Yes. This is both the perfect director and perfect man.
the perfect man? Ahahahahaha
2020 Rian: “This will screw me on the next movie I write”
2022 Rian: “I solved it by having the villain own no phone”

No one:
Rian: THIS COOKIE INSIDE HIS MOUTH! 6:48

Rian's hilarious
the ARROW pointing at the circled cookie is what killed be
His laugh is so cute
The fact that these were lotus (brand) speculoos (the type of cookie) definitely jumped at me as a French guy. I thought it was a funny detail.
Belgian cookies isn't it? I'm Belgian hehe ;)
I wish he broke down the will reading scene, i would like to know how he did that shot where the camera started with a dolly zoom then transformed to a shaky cam.
I noticed that I was like what the...
They just lifted the camera off the dolly and shot out the rest of the scene handheld.
I loved that because it showed the transition into chaos :) I think it was meant to mirror zombie films, with the family being the herd of bloodthirsty undead
Sadly, I think if he discussed that, it would've been too spoilerish. I would love to know more about that scene too.
There was no dolly zoom
He speaks so highly and respectfully of his colleagues

This guy is such pure class.

Good to know.
@@Ki_Adi_Mundi fans personally attacked him
Andreas Nordvall “Controversial” is not the word you’re looking for. F is for family is controversial and great, South Park is controversial and great, TLJ was controversial because it had a lot of plot holes, and that Rian Johnson only wanted to see what he would’ve seen in the film, not the fans
Sir Potatous Headis Limberg well, fans got what they wanted with rise of skywalker. Good timezzz of remembrance that remount to nothing. At least his had a message to deliver.

Edit: Okay, maybe not Cinematography.
Zack Fincher because life isn't fair.
While this is a masterclass, it does not even compare to 1917 cinematography. That is Picasso of our time. I love both of these movies though.
2019 had so much amazing films that even a fantastic film like knives out couldn't even make the cut that's why
I agree. The movie's basically a weather collection magazine.
Mystery isn’t (yet?) a genre the Academy recognizes well. Much like standard comic book movies and horror.
I love how people actually act like this is a guy who doesnt care about the movies he makes. Maybe you didn't like the last Jedi, but you have to admit that this guy loves what he's doing
@Joshua Simpson as a filmmaker, he clearly understands how they were made, so if by Research you mean you don't think he watched the other movies, that doesn't make any sense. Its a series of movies, not particle physics. Just because he intepreted the original movies differently doesnt mean he didnt do his research.
Not sure what the problem is. Last Jedi is easily the best Star Wars movie out there. Maybe head-to-head with Empire.

*spoiler alert* I'm always fascinated by how ambient lighting can really tell you a lot about a person's motivation in a movie. Most everyone is in a well-lit area of the room, and they are diametrically opposed (in position and in lighting) to Ransom whose face is half well-lit and half darkened, symbolizing how he has a two-faced persona; one that he presents to the family, the other hiding his own secrets until the very end while everyone else's are exposed throughout the movie. In this scene the family has basically encircled around him because they need someone to blame and vent their frustrations off of, and Ransom is just that scapegoat that they'll use, and their positioning in this scene really encapsulates that well. Blanc, Marta, and the police officer are positioned off in the back because they're neutrally observing (like the people in the picture frames) and Marta is innocent. None of them are here to place blame, just seeing all of this chaos unfold. And the props are very detailed and deliberate, war-time statues symbolic of how aggressive the family is and what their priorities are.

After I saw it I rewatched TLJ with an open mind and it’s one of my favorites now. Never looking at the internet for my opinions again😁
i think rian johnson and knives out is the opposite of auteurship. he is fully aware that filmmaking is a team effort, and actively shouting out every member of the team and bringing out their strengths and letting them play and working with them to benefit the film, instead of having a ruling vision.
This is the best one of this y'all have ever done. It's legitimately fascinating to hear a director actually talk about the craft and logistics of filmmaking, and the decision making process that happens. More of this, please and thank you.

Seriously, I have to give Ryan Johnson just an immense amount of praise for how he designed this film. He went to such lengths to put in compositional elements that, at the time, I didn't even notice, because I was too busy enjoying the characters. And that just shows how great of a director he is.

will vermillion I love ‘Looper’ and ‘TLJ’; in fact, I would personally rank those above ‘Knives Out’. Nevertheless, that’s my opinion and I respect yours; film, much like any other art form, is subjective. With that said, ‘Brick’ is an RJ movie that I personally didn’t vibe with but I can’t say I didn’t feel the passion behind it and his drive to make something unique/personal.
@@andreaflores7799
I personally loved "Looper", thought "Knives Out" was very good.
TLJ is the odd one out for me. Thought it was a great Sci-fi movie if it stood alone but not the best Star Wars movie imo. Felt like it broke the stride started in TFA. The backlash and change of pace forced JJ to use TROS to try and "fix" plot holes created by TLJ.
I think he's an excellent director but just didn't fit for Star Wars imo.
Tbh the one thing I hated the most was him just spacing Admiral Ackbar instead of using him in Holdo's role. Would have made the movie for me personally.
I’ve never respected a director so much. Wow. He really knows a LOT about how each scene is filmed. He even knows exactly who works on each thing and remembers each detail that they point out to him that they’re going to do and honestly working with him must be great bc he doesn’t seem to underestimate anyone that he works with 🥺
Is this what film school is like? This was a very thoughtful and fascinating dissection. I learned something today and I’m really excited to watch this movie!
I feel like revealing that Apple secret is more against Apple than other directors. Now they'll have to change that policy or risk no one ever using their products in a movie again. The ball is now in their court.
I think his joke is more that directors will now be frustrated because we, as viewers, know that if they try to make us guess who the surprise villain is, we can eliminate characters as suspects if they're seen with an iPhone
Rob Moden yes, that's the joke. And he may have literally ruined the mystery for movies in the immediate future (if true). But, if what he revealed is Apple's policy, it's a stupid one. Samsung, etc, can now make the product endorsement deals and Apple would lose out. That was a passive-aggressive dig at Apple and its policies.
i'm kind of surprised he would say something like that because i'm sort of assuming he signed a contract with apple which would probably include whether or not he could publicize the details and terms of said contract. i'm pretty sure someone might be held accountable for this in larger ways than just an audience getting spoilers.
Apple and their subtle manipulation of social cues has their followers really believing that they are better people for choosing iPhones and crap like this fuels it.
Zena222 you’re totally missing the beat. It’s a genius branding strategy on Apple’s part. No one associates the brand with the villain. Apple retains their wholesome brand image.
You can't watch this video and come off thinking Rian Johnson doesn't absolutely adore his craft. Whether or not you like his stuff doesn't matter, he clearly loves what he does and is proud of it
I’d like to formally apologize to Rian for the negative comments I said about the last Jedi. You’re a fantastic director and you didn’t deserve the hate
To be honest, I love The Last Jedi.

As a digital cinematography major, 14:57 - 16:24 made me so happy to watch him draw a lighting plot and actually understand what he's talking about and using the same symbols I use for my plots :)

Wow, this is by far the most complete and useful of scene breakdowns. Rian Johnson is just passionate about everything in the movie, and he isn't afraid to get into technical details. He just doesn't assume we're dumb and that feels great

Will be looked back on as an absolute classic.
This film was magical in the theatre, the entire crowd was fully invested

but he gave an ipad to daniel craig as a “prize” for solving his game (which he kinda reverse that statement he gave in this video) but everyone else has an android phone which makes you think that each one of them helps on the murder
I didn't know about this detail until I watched this video now, wish I'd known it while I was watching glass onion lol
I figure out the villain once he said the word that doesn't exist
You see an ipad thrown by the murderer land, but the murderer is never shown holding it! It's a very clever misdirect in my opinion.
And in fact, additional spoiler, the only person who really has a phone is made very notable in the story, and they end up killing them off while all the other characters don't even really have their phones around until it's questioned. Such a small detail that makes me wonder if he did that solely because of this interview lol, that way you would never know who the killer was really
I met Rian at SXSW in 2018 & he is not only a genius of a writer/director, he is such a nice human being! I can’t wait to see him win a Best Director Oscar soon!

He was allowed to do what he wanted with The Last Jedi. But in a way, you're right. The Force Awakens did limit his choices. Where he went with it was genius nonetheless in my opinion.
@@BTTFMovie Indeed. TLJ had some seeds of a phenomenal movie but it had the issue of being in the middle of a trilogy and that fundamentally limits what Johnson could do.
Rian would have done an incredible job if he had the entire trilogy. Instead, he was left with JJ's mediocre fan film and did the best he could to build off of it. I think the reason people didn't like TLJ was because they couldn't handle the risks that Rian took and what he did to preexisting things. I really loved TLJ
