This mythology really extends to everything they do. Art and culture, inside references, language and presentation. All a hollow charade designed to give the aura of genius without any actual display of genius. No demonstration of skill, wit, logic, or anything of substance or intelligence. The puzzle box solutions are all about references, showing that you recognise these "high class" things. A glorified pub quiz. And even then the movie shows that the characters don't actually understand the references, they only recognise like trained birds (for example they incorrectly refer to the chess board as an endgame when it is in fact an opening). None of the characters even solve it themselves except for the true disruptor, the working class Helen. They all need help. But the "disruptors" take the credit and reap the reward of a nice holiday while the rest of the world is stuck in pandemic lockdown. Then there's Miles who keeps his collections to seem high class, but he doesn't even understand them. He hangs his Rothko upside down, he's wrong about why the Mona Lisa is famous, his description of the glass onion metaphor is wrong. His actor summed him up perfectly when he said that Miles hasn't had an original idea in his life.
Thank you for watching and thank you for your thoughtful comment! I wholeheartedly agree with what you said. The puzzle box element is even more salient when considering all those people think of themselves as disrupters, but only complete those puzzles as they are meant to be completed, with a lot of help as you mentioned. Only Helen was the one who basically said “eff this” and teared the box apart in a truly disruptive way.
Check the verb form in your title I enjoyed Glass Onion, but this summary video helped me put my finger closer to what bothers me about it Andy brought the shitheads together in the first place, and her only character witness is her twin. All those journals, but for the audience, who the heck was Andy
Thank you for that! And yep, I have to agree. That fact did bother me a little, but at the end of the day, I think this movie was plainly about Helen. I think they needed Helen to be the working class foil to the shitheads.
