He installed that bypass switch. That was never was supposed to be an option. Once the glass goes up, it's supposed to to remain up.
He said he installed it so he can view her directly in her eye & showed everyone the override location.
His stupidity & hubris was a key to his failures.
It's especially stupid since in the Louvre, the only way to see the Mona Lisa is behind glass.
Yeah, kinda bothered me that this dude kept going “my way would have been better”. I didn’t even understand what he was trying to say. Hopefully if he watches it more after this he’ll pick up on it
I just realized at the patio scene Miles describes exactly what Andi ended up doing. Disruption, starting small (breaking her glass cup) and then crossing the line breaking the one thing no one wants you to break (the mona lisa)
Think you meant disruption, and yup very good point!
And everyone there is happy when she breaks what everyone wants her to then joins in and then tries to stop her when she crosses the line.
I’d argue the ending works because it was all HER decision plus Nortons hubris. Aside from that him putting something on the statue would’ve made him more liable which would’ve been out of character for him. If anyone was gonna be the one to ultimately take him down though it would’ve been her. Kinda like in the first one. Blanc provided clarity but left what comes next to someone else. Plus the simplicity seems like the point. Norton played a man who was so narcissistic he powered his own home with a dangerous substance. He brought the Mona Lisa into this home and made an easily exploitable loophole to its safeguard. He truly only cared about his nice things that gave him unbelievable status. How to take down someone so simple? Turn those things against him.
about the bullet: it's a small calibur that had already passed through a two-way mirror then hit the journal so it's feasible that it would have stopped the bullet due to already going through the thick mirror
I had already been willing to accept it, but that helps even more.
To be fair, hydrogen gas is lighter than air (which is why we once used it to make blimps float) so it would rise to the top of the room but remain trapped inside by the ceiling. Therefore, the explosion destroying the Glass Onion up top and only setting the rest of the room below it on fire is scientifically feasible.
It is still pretty over the top though, so I can understand why you wouldn't like it.
It wasn't even that I didn't like it, it just felt out of place. The whole movie is ridiculous, it just felt a liiitle too much lol
@@BarteNERDS Yeah that's fair. I didn't mind it too much but I can definitely understand why some people feel it went just a little too far.
In my opinion, you were too hung up on the Mona Lisa at the end. The Mona Lisa was just the cherry on top to ultimately ruin Miles not only financially but also his entire name (he only LOANED that portrait from the Louvre!). Helen's intention was to cause as much damage _in general_ to the man (and the shitheads) who killed her twin sister Andie and took said sister's massive business and accomplishments away from her.
This is actually what I found so impressive about the ending. It managed to avoid falling into the self-righteous revenge porn category by making sure that Helen herself kills no one (but Miles kills two people), that Miles is the one with the ultimate power over all of the shitheads so even if they have to stand accountable for their actions too its still made clear they ended up at his mercy too, and that all of Helen's revenge for Andie's death remains on the financial level and Miles' position of power, influence and reputation.
For me the movie succeeded being a satisfying revenge watch without falling into the "too politically biased" category because at the core of Helen's pay-back non of this was about any social factors (which is at this point what most narratives are about). At the core for me this was a (twin) sibling's revenge story.
And man, in my opinion siblings are the one ride or die dynamic above all else. Yes, of course gender, skin tone, social class etc ARE important layers of which the narrative of this story is made off of. I'm not putting any of that in question. But in the end when Helen runs towards the Mona Lisa every shithead who JOINED her destroying Miles' priceless art pieces (and hopefully the audience too) knew that destroying that portrait is on a whole different level. At that point Helen's action can not be reasonably carried or "excused" anymore by any biased reading of gender, class or skin tone because in the end of the day those were only additional layers to her story. That's not where her true (and clear as day ESTABLISHED) pain in this case came from.
When Helen ran towards the switch all additional underlying motivations of sexism, racism, classism were thrown out of the window and all that remained was the heart of the story. A twin sibling going: "YOU killed my sibling and took everything they worked for away from them. _Get._ _Fucked._ "
And that was so satisfying for me to watch.
This is for me the best part of these two Knives Out movies. At the core of everything it always comes down to ONE genuine and loving bond between two people. Here it's the sibling's bond between Helen and Andie and in the first movie all came down to Marta not only being a genuinely good nurse and person, the most important factor was that she was Harlan's FRIEND. The one and only bond he had left in his life who saw and treated him well just for HIMSELF and not for what he can give or what he stands for and created in his life.
That was the CORE reason for why Harlan gave her everything in his will. That's what the entire remaining narrative is built on and it'll never not get me how beautifully Blanc is written to convey the emotional cores of the movies.
Yes, Blanc is the best detective in the entire world and wicked smart. But in the end of the day Blanc's most important character trait in the narrative is his compassion and high emotional intelligence. He always sees this ONE genuine human bond beyond all other factors society created in the midst of all of this and THATS what he's working for to see victorious in his cases.
These movie are so GOOD!
I think it's way more powerful that Benoit left the decision up to Helen. He didn't plan all that, she did. He gave her agency in her own story. He gave her the truth and then stepped away for her to do what she felt was right - he didn't make that decision (that would get him in legal trouble too) for her. Just like Miles said in the beginning - you know you've made it as a disrupter when you break the thing that NO ONE wants you to break. No one wants you to burn the Mona Lisa - but Helen does, fully on her own, because that's the only way to get people to listen, Miles can't cover that up. She disrupts not to get herself attention, but to put the spotlight on the truth that her sister was trying to reveal - the fuel Miles is pushing is incredibly dangerous and will kill a lot of people.
The lighter thing I felt was hinting that shit was gonna burn - which it did. The whole place exploded because of his 'miracle fuel' that turned houses into the Hindenburg - which exploded because of all the hydrogen gas - he did that to his own home: filled it with hydrogen gas that with a big enough flame, turns into a bomb.
Janelle Monae is a singer who's recently started acting more. Her biggest role to date was in Hidden figures.
This was a great movie with a great ending, don't know what you're talking about.
Benoit couldn’t put anything on the override button because that would mean that he actively helped to commit a crime and he made a point of telling Helen he had to follow the law and courts. Also Helen pushing the override button herself was foreshadowed by her bashing the puzzle box to get the hidden message. She is blunt and more inclined to use physical means to achieve her goals. It also represents her not just physically getting vengeance for her sister’s murder but also ensures that she completed Andi’s goal of stopping Miles from turning peoples homes into potential Hindenburg disasters with his “miracle fuel”.
12:14 RIP Stephen Sondheim and Angela Lansbury. As a huge musicals nerd, I literally squealed at their cameos.
Also, all of them have connections to the mystery genre. Sondheim, mostly known for being the greatest Broadway composer/lyricist of all time, wrote "The Last of Sheila", a murder mystery play/movie that Johnson drew inspiration from for this movie. Angela Lansbury was miss Marple in the 1980 film adaptation of Agatha Christie's The Mirror Crack'd, but most people know her from Murder, She Wrote. Natasha Lyonne is starring in an upcoming mystery/procedural show that Rian Johnson is also directing. Finally, Kareem Abdul Jabbar Wrote a Sherlock Holmes spinoff series about Mycroft Holmes.
So I heard about Sondheim's "Last of Sheila" being a huge inspiration and now I have to watch it. My dumb ass just straight up didn't recognize Angela Lansbury (in all fairness I havent seen her in like twenty years), but that's awesome about Lyonne and Johnson and I definitely didn't know about the Kareem Mycroft series. That's kinda fucking sick.
This movie definitely benefits from a rewatch. There are all kinds of cool stuff you pick up the second and third time that makes the end payoff more satisfying. Helen was the real disrupter the whole time. She's the one who actually broke the system. I'm also willing to bet money that the hydrogen energy was inspired by Elizabeth Holmes and her Theranos scam. She, like Blanc, was willing to put people's lives at risk for a technology she knew was unviable. And he adopted a lot of her and Sunny's eccentricities as well as Elon's.
Casually enjoying your reactions and then realizing you're into Dark!! 😍😍😍 Will be watching those reactions FOR SURE! Also, subscribed!
I loooooooved Dark, even if the last episode didn't QUITE stick the landing. Super sad about their newest show getting cancelled by Netflix already.
I Totally agree, shouldve been Benoit Blanc mystery not Knives out mystery
UNACCEPTABLE
@@BarteNERDS Apparently Rian Johnson FULLY agrees, and fought VERY hard to have that be the title - but the marketing people and Netflix absolutely insisted on "A Knives Out Mystery" because they were terrified the general public is dumb and not realize it's a sequel unless it explicitly references the previous film's title.
i really love the ending because i too wouldn’t care if i blew us all up as long as it meant taking down the bastard that murdered my sister
idk why ur so hung up on the protective glass on the end. when he burned the napkin, the glass went up and STAYED UP for the rest of that scene 44:32 tadaaaahhhhh
Yeah, tbh I keep thinking about it and my biggest thing is that earlier in the movie, every time a lighter went off or a phone went ding, we heard the glass go up and down. I even made it a point to mention it was getting annoying when Duke died.
BUT, nothing got burned. It was just the presence of a flame that made the glass go up and down. When the napkin got burned, smoke went into the air. The smoke being in the air alone woulda kept the glass up for the duration.
I thought of Edward Norton's character in The Italian Job immediately when he entered the movie. I knew Miles was an idiot. When Miles confronts Blanc about his appearance on the island, Miles just accepts that someone reset the box. Miles has no idea if the box can actually be reset.
Certainly one of the best and most entertaining reactions to this movie I have seen. I have watched many sir. You're going to want to re-watch this many times. In its own way it is as good as Knives Out. Different. More goofy, but with many hidden details you only catch on repeated viewings. Pay attention to the soundtrack after Benoit Blanc declares 'I am not Batman'. The composer sneaks in Danny Elfman's batman theme in to the underscore. Serena Williams is reading a book while she waits for a client in the gym. It is a call back to the first movie. Gravity's Rainbow. One of the glass sculptures in the room with the Mnna Lisa is a replica of the Circle of knives sculpture from the first film. There are many more... An surely you have seen The Last Of Sheila from 1973. It was scripted by Stephen Sondheim, who has a cameo in the bath scene when Blanc is playing the stupid video game with his friends.
Dude I love ur energy haha, I’ve watching this movie probably a dozen times by now 😂😂💀
The moviegoing public in general knows the name “Knives Out” more than Benoit Blanc. It’s good marketing to have Knives Out in the title so that dummies know that it’s part of that world.
Yes, I said that exact sentence later in the video. I understand why they did it, I still just hate the sound of it.
Nectar collector or dab rig?
Nectar but in this Dutchie Berry Fusions.
And of course he had to get JGL in there as the dong … cus what’s a Rian Johnson without Joseph Gordon Levitt 👏🏼👏🏼
HOLD MY KOMBUCHA. You need to watch the second season of Russian Doll!!!
I'm literally going through all these comments and just saw one about Lyonne and I was literally *just* thinking, "Fuck, I really do need to watch S2."
Must... comment... Must... appease the algorithm!!!
amazing as always Joe, keep it up my man
Mao as maomao. Mao, keep it mao my mao.
Hi! New here. I'm 21min into your reaction and I'm guessing you've never seen American History X or Fight Club-- both iconic movies starring Edward Norton.
If not, please do consider reacting to them, as I think you'll appreciate both and see Norton in a whole new light afterward ;)
Leslie is most famous for his role in Hamilton
if you like time travel, you should react to the cartoon ben 10, it has allot
I love a whodunnit! ❤
Have you heard Morgan Freeman as Jar Jar Binks?
I love this movie and the ending was satisfying for me, but it didn't hit nearly as hard as Knives Out did.
Also, as a Chinese-American, it'd be cool if you experimented with Chinese styles. Not everyone is on Twitter all hours of the day
Chinese artwork styles you mean? I actually just bought a set of Chinese calligraphy/watercolor brushes to try and practice my 汉字 but I also like how they feel sometimes while painting.
You look like Deroll from the movie.....
Fuckin' A, man.
Great reaction! And I agree, I think the very end (with the giant explosion that somehow leaves the entire roomful of people unscathed) feels like a near-miss to me. Just a little too extreme and ridiculous to fit with everything that's come before. But still a fun movie overall!
Exactly. It was already cartoony af from start to finish, but that last fifteen minutes was just a SMIIIIDDDDDGE too much. Like I said, still a solid ass movie, just didn't quite stick the landing as hard as Knives Out did.
You laugh makes this almost unwatchable
Luckily, not watching it is always an option.
a lot of plot holes and lazy writing for the movie, but the important thing is that it was fun.
Like what? The part he missed happened in the pool, that's hindenburg means.
2 on top of my mind are= the notebook stopping a bullet, hotsauce dripping into helen's nose and her making a loud sound that they all weren't able to hear.. you really have to suspend a hefty amount of disbelief... but the movie is still fun enough that i can look past those... unless someone is making me enumerate them lol. hey but what was important is it was a fun movie and i wouldnt mind seeing it again!
That's what I'm saying. Hindenburg thing aside, I'm sorry there's just no way for Odom Jr's character to look terrified when she throws the fuel into the fire and not think that was supposed to have killed everyone. Yeah, the vents sucked up all the fire after, but the way they made it sound that fire should have exploded the whole area they were in.
WHATEVER I DONT CARE I LOVED THE MOVIE AND WATCHED IT SIX TIMES ALREADY
I feel like people are hating on this movie so much that the people who love it are just kinda overcompensating for any criticism at all. Hell, I'm not even mad about anything, I'm actively saying I don't care and this movie has just gotten better on every rewatch. BUT at the very end it just didn't quite stick the landing as well as Knives Out did, that's all.
@@BarteNERDS 6 times? damn haha. yeah, there are a lot of things to hate about this movie.. but i had more fun so i can look past those blunders, cause at the end of the day, you want to have a good time watching a movie. and i had a good time with it!
You should of just watched the 1st one once more over this movie as white guy did it and minority woman the hero in both. LOL Rian Johnson Has Never Had An Original Idea.
Cry harder
@@Rash23215 yes it is sad that movies have not originality anymore. It the same as your comment.
name checks out
@@mackenzie1845 do you not like the part in the movie where the black character went on a Riot smashing things?
Meh
