I think you missed Richard's black eye in that last shot as they all turn to look up at Marta. Between watching Linda read the note and seeing Marta on the balcony, she decked him.
Oooooooo. Did I miss that???
6:51 -That’s THE DON Johnson, AA. DIVE DEEP
Stupid question. Who is "she"? Linda or Marta?
@@markdenio4537 Linda
😂😂😂 I love how Ashleigh picked up on how his symptoms never appeared but missed the black eye❤❤❤
My fave line is when Ransom is yelling at Marta "you can steal our ancestral home" and Blanc laughs "Ancestral? Your daddy bought this place from a Pakistani millionaire in the '80s!" Which shows once more the family's arrogance and belief they're more elite than they really are.
I wonder how Walt's racist wife and son would react to that news. You know they won't like having to act nice to Marta if they want any money from her.
It's a beautiful house, but I can guarantee you Marta would be the first owner to live there who got it from being a good person, rich neighborhoods are generally not filled with people who got there from being kind lol
One little detail is that Richard was the cause of Linda finding out...
He threw the baseball out the window when he found the note.
The dog finds the ball in the yard and brings it back to Linda, who knows it's supposed to be in Harlan's office. So she returns it, spotting the secret last note from Harlan on the desk.
If Richard had never thrown the ball out the window, Linda wouldn't have had any reason to go into the office and find the note.
Superb spot!
Such a tightly plotted movie. Incredible.
Slight correction; Blanc finds the ball, then gives it to the dog when it comes with the green trellis piece. Then the dog goes with the ball to Linda.
This movie has so many tiny connections, some don't even get and actual mention but they are there for those with sharp eyes like yours. 👍
The long arc of Gravity's Baseball.
The way Ashlee says “there’s no way he noticed that little spot on her shoe” yet Ben says to Marta almost every time he sees her “Something is afoot” 🤣🤣🤣
And you can see him glance down at her shoe briefly as she walks out onto the porch the first time he meets her.
@@Mark-xx3gh It's great, Blanc is a satire of the typical mystery novel detective (like Jack Sparrow) he's extravagant but he cares more about truth than looking like a genius... don't say anything until you have all the pieces 😉
@@Teddy-zr8yv I mean he's really not that different than Poirot. They're very similar in personality and style actually.
@@cthulhuwu_ first: I love your name 🤣 the cousin of the one who should not be invoked
second: yes a little but in morality there is a big difference, in the 1974 version of "murder on the orient express" after discovering who the murderers were he enters into a moral dilemma since he is very devoted to the Catholic faith, after Deciding to cover them up, he cries and feels disgusted with himself since he broke his code of catching the murderer and serving divine justice... Blanc surely would have done the same thing without feeling bad about it like Kenneth Brannag's version.
@@Teddy-zr8yv
In the book he is pretty ok with his choice.
As a random aside, that sweater was SO popular the knitting community went nuts over it and came up with several copy cat patterns so people could make their own. Chris made that sweater look GOOD.
@kimbettendorf3937 it's actually a spinoff of a 1970's pattern. Some of them used to have... wait for it~leather patches on the elbows! I have an expression that "I can't knit for shit", but I do crochet. My Daddy had the one got the one with the SNAZZY leather patches one Christmas. I think that was back in 74 or maybe 76?😉💜😜😎 #NYGenXBIKERLady
In fact, the wardrobe department accidentally shrunk one! Chris took it home, cut it up, and put it on his dog, Dodger. We 💗😈💗The Sweater.😂
@@christinegelabert1651lol I can't knit either. The few times I've tried have resulted in tears and tangled yarn! But I can crochet, I do all kinds of stitches a day projects.
I just gotta call out the fact that you said “I would throw up with the anxiety” right before Martha’s lying/vomit affliction is revealed is almost creepy. You are prescient! 😳😆
I though for a second the throw up demo scene had already happened and was edited out.
That made me laugh out loud, saying "Just wait a minute." 😂
I snorted, thinking Just wait.
I knew you were gonna say that. 😉😊
Yes, that was hilarious! One of the best accidental plot point predictions I have ever seen. 😂
The *best* part of Martha being on the balcony looking down at the Thromby family is that she's drinking coffee out of the "My house, My rules, My coffee" cup.
Funnily enough that wasn't originally in the script, when filming that final shot those words just happened to end up being visible, and Rian Johnson decided to include it because it was just too perfect of a shot
Harlan was played by the late Christopher Plummer, who became a household name from playing Captain von Trapp in _The Sound of Music._ Yet another reason for you to watch that film.
Go was developed in China about 4,500 years ago it is considered the oldest game continuously played until today. "Go" is the Japanese name for the game.
One interesting point about go, is that an AI recently discovered a new critical play that no human had seen in the last 3000 years.
Unfortunately, Plummer absolutely hated the Sound of Music and made no secret of it - a good reason not to bother ;)
@@richardbradbury3658why? What did he have against it? I've never really seen it. My chorus teacher played it in class once, but I paid no mind... found it boring as a 14 year old. Wasn't a fan of older movies, or musicals. Still not, save for some older movies. But musicals, other than The Wizard of Oz and Dreamgirls, tend to bore me. It's the type of music in musicals, even when it's something that's supposed to be hip or modern (most of Rent's music is boring, and although I haven't seen Hamilton... I don't like hip hop), also the musical numbers last too long. Now, a music using popular music, or the hit music of a particular artist but not as a biographical musical... awesome. I would love to see a musical using just the music of Journey, or Cher, or Reba McEntire, or AC/DC, or Dolly Parton, or 80s pop music.
I've always known it as Othello or Reversi.
@@FLQueerLiberal1982 Othello and Go are two different games
In the movie commentary on the DVD, the director mentioned an amazing perfect accidental music choice with this movie. He was asked if the song choice was intentional and admitted it wasn't. When Ransom and Marta are talking in the bar, the song playing in the background is "Sundown" by Gordon Lightfoot. The song is about Cathy Smith, whom he had an affair with. Cathy Smith later became famous for having been the person who gave John Belushi the drug overdose that killed him.
Weird!
Fun fact: the lawyer reading the will is played by Frank Oz, he was the puppeteer and voice of, among others, Miss Piggy and Yoda. He also directed several films including Dark Crystal, Little Shop of Horrors, and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Amazing person.
And Ashleigh's seen him before, as the man from the American Embassy in "An American Werewolf in London" and the prison official returning Jake's belongings at the beginning of "The Blues Brothers"
He also directed What About Bob. I think his feature directorial debut is The Muppets Take Manhattan(1984).
He co-directed The Dark Crystal, with Jim Henson.
Plus he was the person who gave Elwood back his prison property in the Blues Brothers...
Now that you have seen "Knives Out" you need to watch "Glass Onion", a Knives Out mystery. Daniel Craig (The Detective, Benquoit Blanc) revises his role for an all new "Whodunit" featuring an all new star studded cast and a brand new mystery with all new twists and turns that you keep you guessing and give you a whole new case of Whiplash. You need to check it out soon.
I loved your reaction to this wonderful movie. Please keep up the wonderful job you do with these reactions. ❤❤❤
Ransom's sweater from the restaurant became famous. People were burying it and taking selfies. It was a funny thing because he filmed this movie around the same time he filmed Endgame so he still had his Captain America body. That body doesn't fit with the character of a spoiled rich guy. So they stuck him sweaters to try and hid his muscles. It REALLY didn't work with that particular sweater though, which made it extra funny. That poor sweater looked like it was dying on screen tying to hold all those muscles in. 🤣
I love how you've begun picking up on the little choices that make movies! Things like how Marta was placed in front of the knife donut and the ticking clock showing the passage of time, stressing out Marta, passing the plate to Marta as he talks about how important she is... These are the little bits that help to build such a perfect film, and its so fun that you're picking things up!
Daniel Craig's Southern accent reminds me of the late Fred Gwynne as the judge in " My Cousin Vinnie " .
Instantly became my favorite movie.
There is sooooooo much detail that is usually missed. The first moment that Blanc sees Marta as she’s stepping out onto the porch, you see him glimpse down at her shoes, proving that he knew from the beginning. His various references to shoes/feet as he’s talking to Marta (“something’s afoot, eh Watson?”) are further evidence.
When Marta is at Random’s house, in the background are a row of the bottles used to bomb the medical office, minus one. When they show the clip of the flashback of him mailing the article and cash to Blanc, they are all there.
I remembered what Harlan said about Ransom, “He plays life like it’s a game without consequences until you can no longer tell the difference between a stage prop and a real knife.” Brilliant foreshadowing!
when Marta threw up on Ransom that was actually baby food mixed with water. Knowing that makes it easier to watch.
The movie was an homage to Agatha Christie novels. Have you read Agatha Christie? Her works broke the rules of the mystery genre; she became known as The Queen of Crime. Her novels go from 1920-1970s.
Actress who played Marta gave a phenomenal performance! Glad they cut away to her reaction to the suicide; the look of horror on her face was outstanding!
Like Blanc said, Harlan’s demise was the result of “a tragedy of errors.” When he pointed out how Marta could visually spot the differences between the morphine and the correct medication, he said it so quickly. Needed subtitles for that.
You were so sharp watching this movie! You were right all along, she didn't give him enough morphine to kill him. Brilliant noticing the plate being handed to an RN, and so much more. Maybe your best reaction yet Ashleigh!
4:50 that is Toni Collette…she was in two movies on the channel…she was the mom in Sixth Sense and Little Miss Sunshine.
Plus Hereditary but I don't think Ashleigh has seen that yet and she is also in the Way Way Back with Steve Carrell.
The moral of this story - no matter what ideological differences they may have, or how much they may hate each other, Rich people will always band together to protect their wealth. And all their noises about "being part of the family" or "caring about people less fortunate" will go right out the window when their privilege is threatened.
20:57 "He is a character, isn't he?" Understatement! That's M. Emmet Walsh, one of the all-time greatest character actors. He appears in virtually all Coen Brothers films but has been in a slew of others over the years, I guarantee you've seen him in something.
Also: If you like Biscoff cookies, it might interest you to know that they make a spread. It spreads just like peanut butter but tastes just like Biscoff cookies. When I worked at a crepe stand, we would frequently use it for dessert crepes, the most common being Biscoff spread with strawberries and homemade whipped cream. Thought you might like to know that. :) Great reaction, as always!
"He appears in virtually all Coen Brothers films" Isn't he only in Blood Simple and Raising Arizona?
@@IanDunbar1 yeah, I'm kinda dumb
M Emmett Walsh played the guy in The Jerk who "Hates these CANS!!"😂
"Well, almost a killer..." and just that quick she forgot he killed Fran. Blinded by his handsomness lmao
I love that Frank Oz cameos as the executor of the will. Small role but he is so funny in his delivery. Very John Landis of Rian to have Oz pop up.
Also, both Rian and Frank have significant connections to the Star Wars franchise.
The cast in this movie is just insanely good. Linda's husband Richard is Don Johnson, most well known for being in the TV series Miami Vice. Benoit Blanc is Daniel Craig, the latest James Bond, who is having great time doing a deep south accent. Even the lawyer reading the will? That's Frank Oz, aka Fozzie Bear and Miss Piggy! Toni Collette you just saw in Little Miss Sunshine.
The security tech is not just old, it's crazy old. All of that equipment is from an 80's Radio Shack.
The director Rian Johnson is well known for deconstructing a genre and inverting it. So we got a murder mystery where we KNOW how the victim died, but we're still unraveling things. He also directed the 2nd sequel Star Wars movie, the Last Jedi, but his effort there was less appreciated.
Don't forget: Frank Oz also was the voice of Yoda!
"He also directed the 2nd sequel Star Wars movie, the Last Jedi, but his effort there was less appreciated."
If there was an award for "Understatement of the Year," this would win.
Johnson also directed a few Breaking Bad episodes, some of the best ones.
And, for the younger - Don Johnson = Dakota Johnson's dad.
" He also directed the 2nd sequel Star Wars movie, the Last Jedi, but his effort there was less appreciated."
And it should be. You do not deconstruct a genre (in the case Star Wars films) when you are on the 8th chapter of 9 so you are basically turning the entire franchise on its head when YOU are not going to be responsible for what happens after.
I hated his Star Wars film but Knives Out!! is a top 5 of all time for me. Both for the same reason, the deconstructing.
In Star Wars he did not respect what happened before and even said that he did not care. HIS film was all that was important and forget the others .
In Knives Out! he created his OWN story based on a genre that had several established tropes that could be played with and he did an excellent job playing with them.
My dad watched this and told me I needed to see it so we saw it the next day together. Next day we brought my sister, and I think a few days after that we got my mother to see it. Every time we picked up new details, extra background story beats and clues. It's well worth a rewatch and fortunately the comments are pointing out a few details like Linda dealing with Richard.
Its always nice to hear how a movie can bring everyone together!
Richard has a black eye at the end. She already confronted him
You called it from the beginning that he didn’t OD, great job! So happy you watched this, it’s become one of my favorite movies. The cast is stellar and the old money fall vibes are perfect. Now you need to watch Glass Onion, the fashion is AMAZING! Benoit serves looks the whole movie and the rest of the cast is fantastic as well!
I know there is supposed to be a third movie coming out and I hope it’s set in winter or spring since we got fall with Knives Out and summer with Glass Onion, I hope we can eventually get a movie for each season!
At the ending... Harlan's portrait isn't just holding the knife he used to kill himself, but it is smiling, which it never was doing when it was shown the rest of the movie... he's happy it got solved right. Secondly, there is a shot of Richard in the end with the early stages of a black eye... Linda did physically attack him after reading the note.
M. Emmet Walsh is always a character. I believe you saw him last in The Jerk as the crazed gunman.
The man who hated cans!
I was amazed at how you just solved large parts of the mystery during the beginning exposition. this film is solid in how precise all the hints are laid out, but you also have a great eye for detail to pick up a lot of points were this movie goes against expectations.
Seeing the Murder She Wrote reference reminded me that Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony winner Angela Landsbury passed away this year. If you would like to watch a movie as a tribute to her, she won the Golden Globe and was nominated for an Oscar for her role in 1962's The Manchurian Candidate. Great movie, by the way.
Seconded.
I believe that before she passed she made a cameo appearance in the Knives out sequel.
She also started in the Disney Classic, Bedknobs and Broomsticks. 😀
Gotta recommend Court Jester for Angela. Though she's not a huge part, she's incredibly melodramatic and over the top.
@@LordVolkov I'd recommend that movie on general principle as it's awesome, but yeah, she's great in it as well. :)
21:00 “he is a character, isn’t he.”
That’s M. Emmett Walsh. He is one of the best character actors who has been in everything.
I was really surprised and really happy when he popped up in this movie.
Don't forget that they had that mug in the start that ties directly to the ending where she is drinking from the same mug, my house my coffee my rules.
Ransom's sweater basically became its own character after the movie came out. *Everybody* loved Chris Evans in that sweater.
If you're looking for another fun Christmas movie, check out the absolutely hysterically funny The Night Before, which stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogan, and Anthony Mackie. And also Michael Shannon, who played Walt in Knives Out.🤣
The actor, Don Johnson playing Linda’s husband, is a good villain in “Tin Cup (1996)”. He’s not evil just a d-ck competing w/ Kevin Costner. Very inspirational movie for show offs. Also check out Daniel Craig, “Det. Blanc” here in “Logan Lucky (2017)”. His Southern accent & over the top character is even funnier; a big departure from his typical frosty James Bond role.
❤ Now you need to watch it at least twice more. Once to pick up more details, and then again with the commentary on. Oh, and I enjoyed the deleted scenes too; they tell how *desperate* Walt and Joni were to get some of the inheritance money.
47:16 Ransom wasn't 'almost a killer'. He tried to kill his grandfather by proxy, but he actually did kill Fran. That moved him up the notch and will send him to jail for a long time.
You know, I was feeling pretty sad today (our community is supportive so I'm comfortable tell you all), but then Ashleigh's video came up. The next thing I know, she's making me smile. And then I'm laughing and kinda feel like an old friend's sittin next to me, helping me when I'm blue. :)
In a way, beyond time and space literally, we're all watching it and laughing together ❤
I live next to several of the locations they filmed this movie at. The restaurant Ransom and Marta are at was The Flat Penny in the town of Clinton, MA... where I lived at the time. The state evidence lab is actually the old Registry of Motor Vehicles in Marlborough, MA... where I used to live and work for about 20 years. And the town where the laundromat is and where they were chasing Marta and Ransom through is Maynard, MA... where I used to party all the time. I know several of the firefighters from the scene at the evidence lab.
I love this movie not only because of all the locations and people, but because it kicks so much ass. Rian Johnson really knows how to cast his films, and he crafts such a great story. This was such a fun time in theaters.
About that sweater… it’s an expensive item, but if you look closely, you will notice that it is not in good condition. It’s emblematic of Ransom’s character. He likes owning expensive things, but he doesn’t have the sense or desire to maintain them. Even that small amount of work is too much for him to bother himself with.
Another murder mystery movie with Christopher Plummer that is worth checking out is Dolores Claiborne, which is based on the eponymous Stephen King novel.
An incredible under rated movie.
Kathy Bates is so good in that
@@RickLeMon She deserved a second Oscar
Yes please watch Delores Claiborne ❤
Ashleigh....The woman who you think looks familiar from scary movies is Toni Collette. You've seen her in "The 6th Sense" as the mom. If you really want to have fun, check her out in a TV show called "United States of Tara" with a young Brie Larson. The older man who could "get it" is Don Johnson, 80s "heartthrob" of Miami Vice fame. You might have seen him in some Tarantino movies; he was also married to Melanie Griffith, and they had a daughter Dakota Johnson of the "50 Shades" movies. The game played with the black & white stones is called "Go." Think of it as a Chinese war strategy game, ala chess. It's almost 5,000 years old and is super fun, but not many know how to play it.
I like Toni in Connie&Carla
This is one of the most rewatched movies for me since it came out, I just like everything about it so much. One of my favorite scores to a movie ever.
Now…consider this my vote for Glass Onion (A Knives Out Mystery)!!!
It's not a sequel and the writer and star both wish people would stop calling it that. The studio forced them to go with the subtitle "A Knives Out Mystery" instead of what they wanted, which was "A Benoit Blanc Mystery." It's not a movie series about the Thrombeys, it's about Benoit Blanc.
Knives Out 2 is awful.
@14:35 I love that she's doing everything she can to save him, and he's sitting there, calmly accepting that he's going to die very soon!
Two things about this movie. #1. Grandfather killed himself because he knew someone was trying to off him, he tried to hint it to her... all of the people he was cutting off, he knew that it was only time before the person would try again. He had already wrapped up things, so he was okay to go.
The other thing is how Fran is dead and the family isn't upset about it at all. They were truly seen as the "help" and don't deserve any of that money.
You missed the part in the last where Martha holding the cup in the belcony of the house alone, and the cup has written "My Home, My Rules" in it. while every member was outside of the house. soooo satisfying.
This film is such a great time, as is the sequel!! This is an all-star cast with such a fun storyline!! Toni Collette is iconic in this film, as is Jamie Lee Curtis!! Seeing Toni Collette makes me wish you would watch _Muriel's Wedding_ at some point in 2024!!
I adore Muriel’s Wedding, Ashleigh would love it!
Yes! Such a great movie!
Muriel's Wedding is so great!!!
IMHO, this film is amazing, the sequel is not. Most of the things that make this movie amazing are not in the glass onion. I'm happy there's people that enjoyed that one too, though.
Also the mention that she (Toni) seemed familiar from horror films...she starred in "Hereditary".
When Ashleigh made that Murder She Wrote comment, I instantly thought of the original The Manchurian Candidate. I know Ashleigh would really get into this one and absolutely love it.
This movie single-handedly revived the classic murder mystery genre. More impressively, it did it while implementing amazing themes and symbolism.
Knives Out is not only a top-notch whodunit. it is also a critique of MAGA-era anti-immigration and white supremacy as well as an attack on liberal paternalism. The family represents various forms of establishment America and Marta represents diversity, minorities, and immigrants. The family acts as if they love her, but their acts speak louder than words: Don Johnson's character handing Marta the plate even though she is a nurse - a degreed profession, the running gags about how none of them get Marta's country of origin right because they only want to be seen liking her but don't really care about her, and their condescending liberal affection that has greed behind it (see, e.g., the friendly phone call).
The closing shot, with Marta standing above them all on the balcony of the "house" (read "country") which used to be theirs but which she now owns, is saying that, despite MAGA efforts, those who are hard working, honest, and kind will end up beating those who seek to oppress people for personal gain.
AMAZING that they can do this while also giving us a whodunit worthy of Agatha Christie.
Y'know... sometimes the curtains are just blue.
It's Agatha Christie.
a
MAGA really!
@@rmhartmanSometimes, but not here. There are papers and classes devoted to this movie around these themes of class warfare and race issues.
I'm so glad you’ve finally seen this, and so glad you loved it! I've been obsessed with murder mysteries myself since watching it, and i think you'd love Glass Onion (the next Benoit Blanc adventure, technically the sequel to this, only Benoit is the only returning character) as well as some classic murder mysteries like Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile (tho most would rather you watch the originals than the recent remakes) or any of the other Agatha Christie/Poirot films. Here's hoping you get to see more!
Glass Onion is so great. I also love that they make a direct reference in this movie to Hamilton, and then one of the main cast members of Glass Onion is one of the two leads of Hamilton. (Also, Ashleigh should watch Hamilton because it's long, but it's fucking great, and I say that as someone who doesn't particularly like musicals.)
Watching Glass Onion a second time, knowing where it was headed, made me appreciate it so much more.
Hey, it's a wild insaneian. It's kinda weird seeing one random youtuber you watch commenting on another random youtuber you watch.
@@kalzekdor well, HI! Thanks for watching...either of us! 😅
Another one to consider is The Last Of Sheila, which features several big names from the 1970s, was written by Anthony Perkins (Psycho) and Stephen Sondheim (lots of famous musicals), and which Johnson says was an inspiration for both Knives Out and Glass Onion. The tone of Sheila is much darker and nastier, though. There's a dock scene in Sheila which will seem very familiar to anyone that's seen Glass Onion.
This film is even better the second viewing because you can now see all the little clues you missed the first time and get a better appreciation for all the little hints placed on screen by the filmmaker.
Linda punched Richard. When the family turned to look at Marta, Richard had a fresh shiner that was focused on before zooming out.
what i love about this movie is that the upper middle class is the enemy.
Like Shakespeare before him, Rian Johnson knows how to insult people within a certain tax bracket without losing their praise of his art. 😂❤
She had dirt on ALL OF YOU... and her shoes too. Missed opportunity. 😂 Great video. Glad you liked it. One of my favorite Whodunnits.
On re-watch you can see just for a second LeBlanc noticing the blood spot on martas shoe when they first meet. Which i think is an awesome little detail
I thought it was Chris Evans who was the murderer only because actors who play good guys for a long time, always play a villain right after and this was after Captain America role finished. Literally the only reason I thought it was him; once it looked like Marta accidentally did it, I stopped trying to figure it out. Great misdirect!
I swear, I thought the old man was going to come back at any point in the movie and say:
"Not dead!"
But the dude was really dead.
Hands down, one of 2019's best.
So well crafted with the ensemble cast and good storytelling.
The movies of the 'Who-dun-it' are far a few in between.
But this is a great homage to the genre.
Taking stories of old and a well put together package.
Daniel Craig (Benoit Blanc) & Ana De Armas (Marta) worked on this before making 'No Time to Die' (the 25th James Bond film).
Christopher Plummer as Harlan the author was his final film role, passed away in 2020.
When they announced the sequel with Daniel Craig reprising Blanc, I was ecstatic.
Now that he's done being 007, he could play in this franchise for many films.
The sequel aka Glass Onion (2022) on Netflix had a one-week release in theaters before streaming a month later.
It has the same formula, same director as the first installment and Daniel Craig as Blanc is too good.
Oh my gosh, does this mean we're get to see the sequel Glass Onion soon? Also, if you like the whodunit aspect of it, you gotta check out the recent film series based on Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot novels, starting with Murder On the Orient Express (Judi Dench, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, and many more).
Personally, while I enjoy the new Poirot films with Branaugh, I think most here would prefer she watch the original version of Murder on the Orient Express from the 70s, as it's much more well-liked.
@@InsaneianI love Albert Finney's version and Branaugh's version, but Suchet will always be my favorite. 💜
@@staciemiller7465 I've recently been watching through the BBC series and yes I agree, Suchet is the absolute ideal version of Poirot.
Oh yeah, audiences had a MOMENT when they first saw Chris Evans in that sweater - to the extent that sweaters like that started selling out across the country for the next month or two, because suddenly everyone wanted one! :)
I love the detail that Marta at the end is drinking from a cup that says "my house"
I accidentally started the video again and I’m here watching it all again - why, because I love this movie and Ashleigh is an AMAZINGLY astute reactor who should have her own detective show
SPOILER:
Our first hint that something was off - the fact that Harlan was able to plan their whole cover-up in five minutes. Based on what Marta said about the symptoms of an overdose of Morphine it seems unlikely that he would've been clear-minded enough to think up a plan like that.
What I think about constantly is that doctor that called to inform Marta of Fran’s death like- “I’m sorry but Miss Fran whatever-her-last-name-is didn’t make it. I’m sorry for your loss.” And Marta’s like “Oh Doctor that’s great news! We’ll be there soon!” Just like imagine informing someone of a friends death and their like oh awesome!
The hot man who plays Linda’s husband is don johnson. He has always been a heartthrob! He starred in the tv show Miami vice in the 80s. The old man who died was a heartthrob too back in the day. Christopher Plummer who starred in the sound of music movie amongst many other things.
Excellent Request❤ Love this Movie, as well as the followup Glass Onion...Nothing like a Good Old Fashion Murder Mystery😍 Daniel Craig is Phenomenal as Benoit Blanc, the entire cast (both movies) is Stellar🤩
I saw this movie in theaters and loved every minute of it! This is the type of movie where when you rewatch it, you notice something new every time. Great job guessing!
Okay I didn't read through 1000+ comments but if someone mentioned that the black detective...
was in "Get Out" but I just searched the channel and you haven't reacted to it yet. Soooo never mind.
The "She is Me" woman Toni Collett however... her son told Bruce Willis "I See Dead People"
Who else paused the video and rolled on the floor laughing after hearing the joke at 6:30 about baiting?
Your continued voyage in film has been great to watch. I love that you keep commenting on Ryan's direction choices; the camera moves, the shot framing. These are the kind of things that you wouldn't have noticed even a year ago.
Daniel Craig is British doing a Southern American Accent.
No, he *really* isn't.
@@jessicaross9666 Yeah he is and doing a great job.
Leghorn… Foghorn Leghorn.
@jessicaross9666 agreed, it's alternatively called, "over the top" and very bad in articles. There are even a wall street journal and vogue articles about how bad the accent was.
I thought it might be a specific regional southern accent but apparently it's not.
I didn't find it off putting but he himself decided to "go for it" after the script mentioned the character having a southern accent. He is certainly no Gary Oldman or Daniel day Lewis.
@@macmcleod1188 I never heard any problems with it. Also it's a shame he wasn't given an Oscar Nomination for the role.
FUN FACT: That southern detective Benoit Blanc is played by Daniel Craig ..who also played James Bond in 5 Bond movies
Used to do storyboards and contract concept scene designs. Always got asked if you needed to draw well for this type of career. Truth? It helps, but the best is being able to take and show direction will be best for this career. And thanks to Knives out, is absolutely fun inside and out. Ever get a chance or bored and want awesome, search for the the storyboards for Knives Out. And compare it to any other major film, a real treat that is just as entertaining as the movie. The movie broke the mold on what is and isn't required for production to be entertaining.
I have a theory. Harlen knew exactly what had happened as soon as she said she could not find the naloxone. He knew Ransom set this up. Because like Beniot says, “You are good nurse.”
I don't know about ransom specifically, but I'm sure he thought there was a high chance one of the members of his family did it.
That makes sense.
And he for sure knew when he didn't feel any symptoms for like 20 minutes but also knew there would be another attempt and so he went on his own terms
“Something’s a foot”,
“Fall at the feet”,
“The Game is afoot”,
Le Blanc kept dropping hints that he knew she wasn’t the killer.
I love the details you catch when you rewatch the film and see among Hugh's row of bottles in his house one is missing which was used for the morgue fire.
When Richard throws the ball out of the office, it was fund by one of the dogs and given to Linda. If he had never done that she would have never found the letter.
Please watch The Sound of Music to see Christopher Plummer (he was Harlan Thromby in the film).
The lawyer was Frank Oz who directed Little Shop of Horrors and you've previously seen in films like Bues Brothers and American Werewolf in London.
Frank Oz was also in Trading Places... which also just made me realize Jamie Lee Curtis is in it too!
@@seattlecryptid Yeah. I was listing off just a couple of examples.
And let's not forget, Frank Oz is also the voice of Yoda, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Cookie Monster, and a few other Muppets.
Frank Oz is one of my favorite cameo actors. He's wonderful even without a puppet on his arm.
@@JeffKelly03fun fact: when I told my 32yr old sister that old, bald lawyer was the voice of Miss Piggy, her favorite muppet, she made a face like her whole world shattered.
6:53 That's Don Johnson. He was a huge star in the 80's (starred in the TV show Miami Vice) he's also Dakota Johnson's dad and yes he COULD (still) get it! LOL
OMG, I developed such a crush on Ana de Armas after Bladerunner 2049. Her presence in this movie made it so much more interesting to me.
I can’t recommend the second movie more! I love a laugh and Glass Onion is hilarious. Also Janelle Monae is STUNNING.
Great reaction, Ashleigh, I'm glad that you enjoyed this. The Private Detective with the blue eyes is the British actor Daniel Craig who played the last James Bond, and the one who you fancied was Don Johnson who was in a popular '80s TV series called 'Miami Vice'.
The "get it" guy, Don Johnson. Look up old 80's TV show, "Miami Vice".
Ashleigh: "I would THROW UP"
All of us: Well...
There was a whole hoopla about that sweater around the time the film came out in theaters for months. The handheld shaky camera bit was a happy mistake where something happened where the dolly got stuck on the track. So, the camera operator released it from the tripod and went handheld. Rian Johnson (writer/director) liked the take. Toni Collette is the actress who plays Meg’s mom. She came out in Hereditary, The Sixth Sense, Muriel’s Wedding, and so much more. She’s an incredible chameleon of an actress. Don Johnson, the husband of Linda (Jaime Lee Curtis), is the father of Dakota Johnson. All hail Scream Queen Jaime Lee Curtis 🙌
The sequel, Glass Onion is also great.
So glad you liked Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc. Screen Junkies called him “More Southern than a Confederate flag soaked in deep-fried mint juleps.”
In the scene where Meg calls Marta and asks her to renounce the inheritance, I always assumed the family made her call Marta. I mean, we know that of the family members, she is the closest to Marta, plus the way they were all gathered around looking at her definitely seems sketchy. I can just imagine them saying "you're the closest to her, you should call and ask her to give us the money, she'll listen to you". Maybe that's not what the movie was implying but thats the vibe I always got.
Anyway, fantastic movie and I highly recommend the sequel
I loved Glass Onion. Hope you watch that soon too! The Knives Out Movies are so fun.
There's a visual reference to the 1972 mystery movie Sleuth in there - that's another one that you should definitely watch, but can't know anything about beforehand.
44:50 Remember when she was in her old room - she was holding a pile of those letters, they all had the same rose symbol in the corner, and they all had a slight scorch mark.
You noticed the way she was put in front of the knives, you noticed that Harlan wasn't being affected by the drugs within 5 minutes. Damn.
Fantastic reaction Ashleigh ❤ Can't wait for you to see the next in the series "Glass Onion". It rips Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg to pieces. It's fabulous 🙌🏻🔥
A well-done murder mystery is a beautiful thing. For another multi-layered and... intriguing whodunit, I suggest Dead Again, starring Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson, Robin Williams and Andy Garcia. You absolutely will not regret it.
Second the vote for Dead Again - but again, read nothing about the movie beforehand.
@@jonathanhughes3537 Excellent point! Going in blind is the best way. :)
One of Jamie Lee Curtis’ first roles was a few lines as a waitress in an episode of Columbo called the “Bye bye Sky High IQ Murder Case”. It’s really a tiny role but she absolutely kills it. She basically steals the scene as little more than a featured extra. Columbo is an amazing tv series, highly recommended, but just that scene would be worth watching to see a super young JLC showing that she’s been a legend her whole life, no matter what she’s given to do.
Lmao great coincidence with the 'I would throw up if I was ever questioned!' 2 minutes before she does just that
Writer/director Rian Johnson's first movie was a thriller/mystery set in a high school, called Brick (2005), and it starred Joseph Gordon-Levitt from the Batman movies. Since then, Gordon-Levitt has appeared in every single one of Johnson's movies somewhere. In this, he has a vocal cameo as the voice of the detective on the soap opera Marta's sister is watching at the beginning: "We have the nanny-cam footage!"
You recognize Toni Collette from the scary (but beautiful) movie The Sixth Sense, where she played Cole's mother, and Little Miss Sunshine. She is also super-famous for Hereditary, which is probably also why you associate her with horror movies.
Yes, that was director Frank Oz, voice of Ms. Piggy and Yoda and director of Little Shop of Horrors, as the family's lawyer. Rian Johnson's previous film was the eighth Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi, which connected him to Oz.
The sweater was a huge sensation with fans of the movie. It was therefore really funny to see you literally stop dead in the middle of a sentence upon seeing it.
As others have said in the comments here, when Richard finally turns around at the end, he has what is going to become a black eye, so Linda clearly socked him.
People said in the Twitch stream that you are aware Glass Onion is the second Knives Out film with Benoit Blanc. Johnson is already committed to making a third film as well, as after the runaway success of this movie, Netflix gave him a ton of money to develop two more. He's said that he and Daniel Craig are willing to keep making them as long as they feel they have good ideas for them. If you liked this, you should definitely check out not only Brick, which is another great mystery and very fun to watch (and features a couple actors who reappear here), but also his very underrated con-man movie The Brothers Bloom (2008).
A little of topic, but a great little known movie with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Michael Shannon (who played Walt in this) is Premium Rush. Highly recommend it!
Now let's see if she picks up on JGL's cameo in Glass Onion when she eventually watches it (and given how much she loved this one, I have to imagine she'll be watching it soon).
@@JeffKelly03 when I saw the movie in theaters and then looked up who he played I laughed out loud
This was the first movie my wife and I went and saw in the theater after COVID restrictions were lessened. It was awesome; one of the most multi-layered whodunits we had seen in a long, long time.
And again, if you're looking for a movie with twists and turns, I really can't recommend the 1986 Danny DeVito/ Bette Midler film "Ruthless People" enough.
This was the LAST movie I saw in theaters before COVID started!
That knitted sweater was a whole phenomenon when the movie came out. Single-handedly brought men's cable knit sweaters back into style.
The grey haired guy with the moustache, Jamie Lee's hubby, was Don Johnson. The original James "Sonny" Crockett from the original Miami Vice TV series, and after that the titular star of Nash Bridges. Big big heart throb in the 80s-early 90s, used to be married to Melanie Griffith. It's not that he hasn't been working very steadily since those TV series and is a good nostalgia name in a cameo, but he was never like a huge mega movie star in big productions even though he probably could've if he wanted to.
So Benoit Blanc was Daniel Craig, 007.
Linda's husband who you said "could get it" is Don Johnson, Nash Bridges, but more well known as Sonny Crockett, the lead in Miami Vice.
One of my favorite ever movies. And the sequel is of similar quality, so freaking good
Glass Onion is sort of a Knives Out sequel of sorts. It's a murder mystery with Daniel Craig's same character solving the mystery. It's not quite as good as Knives Out, but it's fun with a great cast.
We just had our annual rewatching of Long Kiss Goodnight! Can’t wait for the reaction!
Oh, and about the "I don't know who that man is - Could get it!"-man... That's what the girls said in 1984. That's Don Johnson of Miami Vice fame.
