This movie makes fun of both spectrum. Meg acts like a friend but when the chips are down she won't stand for Marta. Walt is the kindest of Harlan's children but is the most agressive towards Marta when it comes to the will.
I know the whole family is supposed to be terrible and they sure as hell are, but despite everything, Linda was the only one with any redeeming quality, that being that she genuinely seemed to love her father.
Also she's the only person that came anywhere near close to being self-made, unlike what the entire family claims. Because even though Harlan gave her the whole loan to get started, she paid him back in full. She didn't try to take any power from him like Walt did and she didn't steal from him like Joni did
@@kotorandcorvid4968i agree. She was even able to accept the truth of the will quite quickly and said so to her mom. She only changed when she realized she wouldn't be able to go to school. Still shitty and selfish but still better than the most of them
Maybe this is obvious, but I like how for Linda and Richard's interview there's a shot of them beside Harlan receiving his cake, while for Walt's interview it's the exact same shot but he and his family are beside Harlan.
Also in the shot with Linda and Richard beside Harlan, Walt and his wife Donna are shown lowering the cake to the table. In the shot with Walt's family beside Harlan, Linda and Richard are shown lowering the cake. It's a cool detail.

The piano dings from Blanc obviously correlate with the detectives asking when each member of the family arrived, but if you look at what information preceded each ding: 1. Ransom left early. 2. The plots just popped into Harlan’s head fully formed, it was the easy part for him. 3. Linda was upset that Meg left early, but Harlan understood. Each piece of information is a crucial hint to the truth: that Harlan cut everyone out of his will not because he hated them, but because of their incessant grifting. The middle one also hints at Harlan coming up with the plan to cover up Marta’s involvement in Harlan’s death basically on the spot. It’s a pretty ingenious setup by Johnson that gives the audience some cursory hints to the mystery early on.
Wonder how he could do all this creative set-up and payoffs, having all these points connect so perfectly. When a few years ago he got Luke Skywalker and all his character points and life event, and just threw it in the trash. Ryan has beyond baffled me.
As great as this explanation, I think its actually that the piano dings signify the detectives to ask what time each person arrived at the party. You can see Lakeith react to each one and proceed to ask the same question every time its done. Very cool and I wondered the same.
@@dankmeme682 it's simple: The Corporate Involvements by a Note. There's part that should lead to the iconic character that felt familiar for the audiences and something new from the director and the writer itself, hence a clash of creativity. It's like some characters are written not in line with What company IP want to tell about them, but at the same time it is. The Last Jedi failed because clash of difference that sound harmonious in the process, but not in the end of product - messy work all around. Thus why Knives Out and Onion Glass seems great because he handling the creative production and writing department well w/o corporate involvement - although the Glass Onion one was a big f-u to Netflix to see a new Mystery movie based on this one and eventually giving an emergence of Anti-Mystery. Or, maybe Lucasfilms and Disney screwed up big time when Last Jedi is on the development.
Also something my dad stated while him and I were watching the film for the first time, is that he too thought that when Blanc played a key, it meant "Note that" because he was playing a note.
I love how Blanc used the piano keys to cite lies in the recordings. He didn't have to say anything or take any notes, just a little "ting" on the piano to let the record show a lie.
@@harringt100 My thinking is that for anyone who were rambling on had nothing to offer for the investigation so he left a "ting" to disrupt those individuals and push the interrogation back on track.
After watching Glass onion seeing how much they hate each other is such a beautiful thing. There is not an ounce of love between any of these people just greed and leeching off of one mans greatness and disguising it as "Hereditary genius"
I feel like of everyone who says where Marta's family was from, Linda would be the one who knew the actual answer. She likely vetted the shit out of Marta to make sure she was capable of taking care of her father, likely interviewed her herself since she's so hands on and dedicated with caring for her dad.
In the original script, Linda was also wrong. Marta was from Cuba, but Ana de Armas who’s Cuban told Johnson that Cubans have special immigration privileges to the US.
@@cheeseburgerowl937 It’s honestly funny how the most genuine person in the family is the only one they don’t give two shits about, probably because there’s no leverage they can use against her without being completely racist

I spent a solid half hour looking for this and found nothing! Reverse image search doesn't turn anything up, surprisingly. A keyword search doesn't pull anything either. The art director only said they got decorations from local antique stores.
I see a few comments about Craig's piano key presses during the interrogations. I might be wrong in my interpretation, but I think Craig hits a key to signal to the investigators that the interrogation is going too far off topic. I think he wants to keep the answers objective and not get into useless details.
Blanc hits the piano key everytime someone accidentally gives away a key point of the case, which means he identifies the killer in his introductory shot.
As a journalist, sometimes you want to take note from something specific at the time you’re listening or a thought. It’s nice to have personal thoughts and the record
One think I've found in lecture notes is that, you can note down the (crucial) points. No recording could be that helpful. I think it is similar in an interrogation.
