I like how the ending part with all of the art being destroyed mirrored the disruption speech. you disrupt small things (the glass art) but a true disrupter destroys the thing nobody else will (The Mona Lisa)
Great observation, I also loved how Helen began the movie destroying something of Mile’s (the box) and they bring it all around having her destroy the Glass Onion.
@@edisonlima4647 and as a 'Cassandra', she is the person that has to make prophecies that people won't believe in, but turn out to be right. And, going with the Troy-Odyssey metaphor, in this case, the downfall of the big place is caused by a certain Helen being brought into the place...
What I read on IMDB and found super interesting: “Ethan Hawke’s cameo wasn’t planned in advance, but Hawke happened to be nearby in Budapest shooting Moon Knight and came to Greece for a day to shoot his scene.”
That’s like an extra layer of humor, since I’m pretty sure he only joined Moon Knight because Oscar Isaac saw him in a coffee shop and convinced him to be in it.
That doesn't really make sense, though. It is possible that the logistics were made slightly easier given that Ethan Hawke was in Europe, but there is still quite far (1,186 km/737 mi as the crow flies) from Budapest to Spetses, where Glass Onion was shot.
We heard him say it, questioned it, and then wrote it off as an eccentricity of his character or something. Like saying “oh Helen” instead of “oh hell”. XD
The same with Duke saying Milles almost pancakes him near Andi's house. I definitely heard him say "Andi", but Milles b.s. it so fast with the Anderson Cooper and changing subjects that the info got lost and I never thought about that again until the reveal!
Fun fact: The guy who gives the clue to Birdie's assistant about the music playing is Yo-Yo Ma, a very well known celloist. In fact, he's well known for playing the cello for the score for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000).
Loved how they sho that the 'disruptors" were all phonies who enjoyed rebeling against the system but not wanting to actually tear it down. This is evident when a character is breaking the glass sculpts at one point, they join in cuz its fun to rebel but get concerned when the action gets closer and closer to bringing down said system. Man I loved the little details of this movie so much.
My absolute favorite part of the conclusion is the fact that the stability Miles offered was still enough to make them side with him. As Helen wonderfully put it "You would lie for a lie but not lie for the truth" BUT that gets totally thrown out the window when the scientist, politician and media mogul are like "We cant be supported by the guy who destroyed the Mona Lisa....also the murders but that Mona Lisa thing" That's how ya do some biting commentary.
Yeah, to keep their reputations tied to the man that got the Mona Lisa destroyed would be beyond toxic to the career of anyone that depends on public perception. It would make Birdie's "I'm just like Harriet Tubman" interview look like being photographed wearing ugly boots in comparison.
Actually the whole part of that scene is not just to get rid of bron but also to defend Helen Bron wants to blame her and push it all on her for blowing up the onion and the mona lisa if he did that, then the blame would be on her not him, if they were only lying only to protect themselves, they would stick with him and blame her and say she blew the whole thing up in enact of sabotage or terrorism they’re not. The disruptors each claim that they will lie (in order to punish him for what he has done) to get him caught for his various crimes if he tries and goes after her, She broke his hold on them so they’re protecting her.
I absolutely loved the ending. "The Disruptors" showing they can do something but not ACTUALLY disrupt anything if it gets to a certain point. Fucking brilliant.
@@elastichedgehog6339 One of them literally said he saw him leaving the house even though he was never there. They were just using it as an opportunity to get rid of him

@@mckenzie.latham91 Nah. They could have ruined Miles even if they supported Helen initially after the burnt napkin thing. Miles was planning to ruin them anyway and they still stuck by him. Hell, Benoit proved Miles killed one of them and they still stuck by him. They only turned after the burning of the Mona Lisa because sticking with "the man who burnt the world's most famous painting" would have been a career suicide. They do not care about Helen at all. They are just assholes saving their own asses.
I really appreciate that Rian Johnson is sitting comfortably in the reality that Murder Mysteries are fueled by grief and Benoit Blanc's stories are consistently dictated by the compassion of the grieving.
@@billbill6094 basically their saying that the reason why we care about murder mysteries is because we wanna see justice served and Rian Johnson knows how to use that in these stories
@@billbill6094 murder mysteries can often take on a detached or even comical tone, but these movies also incorporate the real grief that comes around when someones life is taken. Its this grief that motivates the secondary protagonist (who knew the murderer).
33:15 And like the gun he didn't even come up with that idea himself. The scientist guy had just said 'after all that you didn't even burn it?' because he was too stunned that he would just keep the evidence that could destroy him and prove that the whole gang perjured. He couldn't even think up that idea himself.
omg I just realized he called her Helen before she was shot in the first scene when we don‘t know yet that she‘s still alive - totally went over my head
Not just that. She was speaking in her southern accent that she’d be more likely to speak in. Did not catch it the first time but recognized it in the rewatch.
It’s hard to describe the way Rian Johnson’s movies like this feel like, it’s absolutely well directed but u don’t feel the usual prestige movie vibe from this(not in a derogatory way), it’s just…so fucking fun and brilliant
I think you nailed it. General, prestige movies can't have fun. And he managed to make what, by it's ingredients (cast, story, genre, etc) is a prestige movie, but it's fun and light hearted in it's execution while still maintaining it's smarts and wit. It's great!
Janelle Monae and Daniel Craig were the standouts. Janelle was also amazing in Hidden Figures as well. This was more tongue in cheek than Knives Out, which made it more entertaining.
The pandemic thing may have been for the cameos... Angela Lansbury (she was playing Among Us), This was her last role, and Stephen Sondheim both are gone now so this would've had to take place earlier. Plus, Blanc was having cabin fever and dying for a case. Plus, there was an election going on so it was either 2020 or now (and it can't be now... dead cameos.)
If dead cameos mean the movie can’t take place in current time then how do u explain Stan lees cameos in endgame and captain marvel since he passed before those movies came out
They needed a reason for him to have the Mona Lisa in his house. I don't see how that would have worked any other way unless it was on loan from the Louvre because of the pandemic
I like the realism of the ending. People in power will always have the means to get out of trouble, but it doesn't mean you can't make their life a living hell. I guess at its core it's a 'stick it to the man' flick but inventive enough to subvert the trope.
LOVED this movie!! It had me hooked from the beginning, especially with how Rian treated the pandemic. He didn't bog us down/retraumatize us, but you could see their personalities right off the bat from how they were all reacting to it, down to the masks (or lack thereof) they wore. It was so smart.
Just finished the movie!!! While I enjoyed the twists and turns of the first movie better, this was still really entertaining and well written nonetheless. Not to mention all the cameos!! Hugh Grant made me do a double take 💀💀
I love how varied the opinions for this one are. Some like it just the same as the first, some like it less but enjoyed it nonetheless, some love it way more than the first. The most common similarity seems to be that they enjoyed it haha
It's hard to top the first one, the first one was really innovative for its genre and I think it's incredible that Rian Johnson still manage to make an absolutely incredible sequel, it's hard for me to decide which one I like more, honestly.
Woah wait this movie was out in theaters? Goddamn it. I wish it was out in theaters where I live instead of just being notified thru my Gmail saying it's out on Netflix 😭
I'm so happy I got to see this in a packed house in theaters this year. The audience absolutely made it that much better. I can't wait to watch it again to notice all of the background stuff and just how fair Rian played it.
I happened to look at the exact right part on the screen and noticed the shady hand off of the 'poisoned' glass, it's shown accurately in the original shot. One of the reasons this movie is so good, it rewards you if you pay attention because everything you need to know is shown at some point
The beautiful parallel between this movie and the 1st one is the ending where the main victim saves the life of the person closest to them. The prop knife and the Journal. Edit- This movie actually was full of parallels to the first one for another example the burning of the evidence. I'm sure if you rewatch the 1st one you'll find tons more.
A glass onion is something that has a lot of layers that when you peel all the layers back and take the time to dissect it down, you realize it has been transparent all along. That's literally what this movie is, there's so many layers and layers to it. And in the end, it was almost exactly what we all thought it was.
I don't know if you've already been told, but, during the scene when Helen and Blanc are on his balcony and Blanc gets his idea, Helen says, "...you're the world greatest detective." Blanc responds with "No, I'm not Batman" ... right around that time Blanc gets his idea, right? If you listen to the music, they switch to Danny Elfman's Batman score. At this point I'm obliged to give @NewRockstars the credit they deserve. I heard it from them.
I think at one point, after Duke dies, Miles walks away with Duke’s phone in his back pocket! Right there is when I caught that he was Duke’s killer. And the fact that they show you that he hands Duke his own glass at first, but then later show the version that he “tells” everyone what happened. I caught that too! But because of how it played out in the movie, I second guessed myself for a little bit. I thought, “oh maybe I’m just remembering wrong.” And I so love how they peppered in all of the details! They’re there for people to see and work out on their own. I wasn’t sure about Andi’s “death” when she gets shot, at that point, I figured anyone could have done it. But Duke’s death, I figured out for myself! First time I’ve done that in a murder mystery movie lol
The overall mystery wasn’t as strong as the first one but the performances and cinematography were incredible if not better. Janelle performed her ass off 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
For the mystery, I strongly believe that's the point. This movie is deliberately anticlimactic, in that regard. Best example being the tense scene where the Mona Lisa's security system kept being set off by the phone dinging (explicitly told to us by Miles moments before), the camera zooming in on her face every time. There is a clear, established tempo. Duke's death took _longer_ to rhythmically settle in. The score for his death scene is also a smidge quieter than the CLUNK! of the security system. It's a tonal shift jarring enough to throw us off balance. Why deliberately anticlimactic tho? Blanc, upon solving the mystery, is furious and points out the metaphor of the Glass Onion - densely layered, but crystal clear at its center. He bluntly states how moronic the mystery (and Miles Bron) is. In _Knives Out,_ Blanc's aloofness is made the butt of the joke many times throughout - he only proves his expertise in the final confrontation with Ransom, at the end. This movie makes certain his intelligence, perception, experience, and smarts are put at the forefront this time - he solves Bron's planned murder mystery minutes before it happens, we get more insight into his status and resources, as well as his arc with Helen. I hope it's easier now to understand that this was 110% intentional from the start. I edited this comment to bring clarity to ny opinion. Not to mention, if you love KO... being underwhelmed will hit harder. I'm sure Rian took that into consideration when he helmed its sequel. But ofc, agree to disagree. Have a good day, everyone!
It lost a bit of the intimacy from the first movie where it tracked Armas' character for the most part of the film. The first movie also felt like a 2nd person perspective like each time a character was providing information it was provided like in a murder mystery game, facing the camera as if directly to the viewer. I ended up not missing that intimacy early on when it decidedly went it's own route early on.
@@Toidal this is exactly it!!! I kept thinking about it bc i liked the cinematography on this new one more, and the acting was just as good. So I couldn’t wrap my head around why the first one felt better. Like the mystery felt a little weaker, but i liked the commentary as to why (rich people on power not necessarily being smart, they just can get away with shit). But its exactly what you said!!! So much on the first one felt like a bigger mystery because we found out about things through Ana de Arma’s character and we only saw what she saw constantly. A style of movie telling and intimacy with the story was lost when doing it differently in this sequel. A great movie still though!!! I even hope they go a whole different route on the next one (Netflix bough the rights for 2 films)
My favorite part of this video is the moment when Helen brand comes out, and both of them look like they’re breaking a circuit. NGL, I have the exact same reaction. I think my favorite thing about these movies is that Rian Johnson somehow manages to make such stunningly, complicated and well written, storylines, while still taking advantage of the dumbest, most obvious shots. In knives out, it was the murderer’s name being Hugh so that Fran could say “HUGH did this” and not “you did this!”. In this case, it’s the ridiculous “it was a twin, the whole time!” angle!! chefs kiss.
I really enjoyed the kinetic energy of this movie. I also like how it doesn’t take itself too seriously, considering the genre the film is in. Allowing for a more refreshing experience.
I love how the Helen reveal is amazing. The director told us right at the start that Benoic doesn't really like these type of games but then it immediately shows him ready to go to the island. This is a massive contradiction but people just forget about it because we are getting to now more about the rest of the cast. Him being there for anything other than Andi murder wouldn't make sense for the character.
I actually really appreciated that Glass Onion was set in present day. It sets it apart from movies of this genre from the past because usually this genre is relegated to being period pieces usually set in the 50s or prior. And most movies of this genre about murder mysteries itself are a genre of Hollywood past. So to see one both made in present day and set in present day really helps it feel fresh.
Yeah, which is so strange because Agatha Christie herself set every single one of her mystery novels in what was "present day" at the time of their publication (well, except for "Death Comes at the End", which was set in Ancient Egypt). And not only that, she sometimes seemed to actively work against nostalgia. If there is an artist of any ilk in one of her stories, you could bet that their style would be the most modern (or post-modern) possible. The same for the decoration of the settings. I think the tv show Poirot was the only one I ever watched that accurately portrayed how un-Edwardian the country homes of the rich often were in Christie's novels.
Agreed. Rian Johnson has said in interviews that it was important to him that, like with Christie, the stories themselves are contemporary to when they were written instead of period pieces. If you ask me, it takes a really bold and brilliant writer to write a rock-solid murder mystery in the style of Christie in the age of smartphones and the Internet.
I've found that watching this for a second time with you guys, that I've already spotted little details I missed before. This movie has such a great rewatch quality to it. Great video!
I love that the part that was supposed to show us how smart they were was basically ran by a lady doing housework cause without duke’s mom they wouldn’t even have opened it, also she was figuring most of it without looking at it. Loved all the camios specially Ethan Hawk
Knowing DaVinci and his empathy towards humanity, he'd approve the burning of the painting to stop a dangerous invention. He'd probably reply, "Eh, I'll just paint another one. And Klear, I have a few better ideas for it."
Watching in movies with good crowds is really something else. I saw Knives Out multiple times in theaters because the movie was so good and so were the crowds.
I think the pandemic tell us too who the characters are, Birdie was throwing a party and using a mask with holes in it, Duke didn't care about masks and huging, Claire pretended to care when answering the door and Lionel who isn't a bad person was using a mask... Idk, maybe i'm just thinking too much hahah
They were actually making fun of masks and vaccines in this movie. They ask what the "medicine" they were just given and they aren't told they just follow the what the "elite" give them and don't get answers. It's a play on liberals lol
Fun fact- Edward Norton and Chris Evans- Who play Ransom and Miles- Are both introduced second in the trailer after Daniel Craig, and they both end up being the killers!
the extreme specificity of the movie makes it so much better imo. like a lot of content has either vaguely referenced the pandemic or pretended it doesnt happen, but thos movie just 100% embrace the pandemic and the culture we created within it lol
loved the film! although i think it would be really cool, if they make another, they play of the formula that they’re using (outcast woman to group of bad people presumed killer turns out to be good guy and gets revenge on killer and group) but they use this formula and twist back on itself to subvert expectations.
The first thing that popped into my mind the moment Helen revealed that the journal protected her was Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and the line from Drake. [Referring to the journal in Sully's front pocket that stopped a bullet] "I thought that this kind of thing only happened in the movies!!"
I mean, it happens now and then in real life. It shows on the news when it happens, everyone goes "whaaaaa?" and that's where it goes to the movies from.
I saw this in theaters last month and was so engrossed with paying extra attention to all the details to try and figure out the mystery before the end, that I immediately noticed Miles give giving Duke his own glass, and when Duke ended up dying I was like “omg miles directly handed the glass to Duke!” And then they did the playback scene that shows Duke picking up the wrong glass and I was like “oooooohhh they were hoping no one was paying attention to the glasses!!! It’s miles!” 😂😂
I didn't see the thing with the glass but for me, what I caught was when miles was freaking out about someone trying to kill him and when he turned to go over the couch, I saw the phone in his back pocket and automatically remembered when it was said that he didn't have a phone and that's how I figured it out
What I loved about this movie..The first movie and Glass onion couldn't be anymore different. I loved this cast omg everyone brought it. I loved Daniel Craig as usual he had me rolling lol 😂 and I love Janelle Monae. And Dave Batista was funny AF. The whole cast . Omg Edward Norton reminded me of his character in birdman an over the top jerk. Lol This deserves Screenplay love. It's not easy to write a script with this many characters and it works.. Brilliant writing.
That moment you realize that even the burning of the napkin didn't actually come from Miles's head; he probably forgot he had the lighter on him until Lionel asked him why he didn't just burn up the napkin when he found it in the first place.
Yes! It feels like a love letter from someone who actually loves Christie, rather than another adaptation/imitation that misses the point of Christie's novels! Christie is life!
Just finished this movie and was fucken stocked to jump onto RUclips and see you guys have posted a reaction. I don’t know how, but Rian Johnson has done it again. He has truly made the Whodunit genre his own, and has somehow reinvented it twice over. Excited to see what mysteries lie in the future for Benoit Blanc. Great reaction, keep up the good work!!
This movie very much rewards rewatches. Highly recommend going back over it again and paying attention to all the details, like the fact that you can see Duke’s phone in Miles’ back pocket in the entire scene after the murder and that none of the “disruptors” actually directly solve the puzzles in the box. It’s so goddamn genius
When I was watching this the first time I completely missed Miles giving Duke the glass, then you rewatch that scene closer and that's exactly what happened and it's so cool. It's little stuff that really pulls this movie together
The glass breaking scene may be my favourite in this movie. The first Knives Out had the return of Harlans line about a man being unablr to tell a real knife from a prop to the end. It came back from the dead. In thjs one, Helan turns Miles belief against him. "It starts with small things" the glass cup "then it gets bigger" the animals tl the grand statues and finally "the thing no one wants you to break" the mona lisa
Bruh…I saw this in theaters during its limited release and enjoyed it. The one thing I kept on returning to and saying under my breathe every time the Jesus mural appeared in a scene was, “Is that Kanye West?” And now, after watching your reaction, I can definitely confirm that it is indeed Kanye West. Genius. 😂😂😂😂
A few things I picked up on a second watch through… You do see Miles hand Duke the tainted glass and when Blanc runs into ‘Andi’ just before she’s shot he calls her Helen (even though the switch-a-roo hasn’t been revealed yet). They’re things I didn’t even notice first time around because Rian Johnson is clever enough to make you see / hear things the way he wants you to until everything is revealed. Great movie. Can’t wait for the next one.
I just watched this movie, ive been waiting for this for like a year and ive been counting down the days. I got to say, not as good as the first one, but still pretty epical.
Didja catch the Joseph Gordon Levitt cameo in this one? Same as the last one really... .....He's the voice of the Hourly Dong 😆 In the script, it was Gong, but Norton said Dong by accident in one take and Rian loved it and so they changed it and went with that.
during the first hour, there were just random dialogues from each character that it makes no sense....then here comes the second half of the movie and those dialogues makes sense now...great story telling....i hope they will make more of this because it's kinda of fun..especially the murder solving part...the casts were great...Dave Bautista is really good in this...he is getting better and better and hoping to see him in other movie projects he is in....
At the very end she gave a look parallel to Mona Lisa.. Leading back to what they said about the expression and how the perspective and angle mean everything in variation. Nice shot and callback!
This movie is so damn rewatchable...when you watch it again you can pick up all the missing details..it is so fun and now i cant wait to see this bunch of times so that i can pick up more of the missing details and please for the love of God, dont watch Heavy Spoilers or any other missing detail video...this is the fun part of the movie
19:09 I've watched this with three different groups of people, and no one even bats an eye that Blanc calls her "Helen". It's right there, and we don't see it. Unbelievable.
Idk if I'm tripping but when Edward Norton character was rapidly explaining before the power went out reminds me of his performance in fight club, he even had a poster behind him that looked like a fight club reference.
When I saw this in the cinema, Hugh Grant appearing took the house down. I think it’s just cos we want a competent prime minister. And it wouldn’t be a Daniel Craig film if a beautiful car didn’t get totalled.
Miles Bron really is a great metaphor for glass: it is strong in appearance and can be beautiful, but on the inside, it is empty (like his head) and fragile.
Liked the first one more but still a entertaining, funny, And Worthy Sequel. Love seeing more of Blanc And Janelle is amazing. Enjoy the twists and turns of the first one and it keep me more engaged throughout but still enjoyed it and excited for Knives Out 3.
this franchise is one of my favourites in the entire world rn, and benoit blanc is one of my favourite characters ever. i got to see this movie the 1 day it showed in cinemas where i live, and i am SO glad i did
I just watched it and it was soooo goooood!!! I really thought Kathryn Hahn would be the one who got the gun and put something on Dave's drink. Also, the cats at the back just casually walking, love them. For a second I thought it was just one cat.
It's kind of funny how Edward Norton's character in this film is somewhat similar to his character in The Italian Job. Both are unimaginative and use other's ideas/dreams in order to better and enrich themselves. The main difference is that Edward Norton probably enjoyed making this movie more than the contractually obligated Italian Job.
There is a Beatles song called Glass Onion. John Lennon made the song to confuse people who look for clues and lyrical meanings in Beatles songs, which he did not like.
I just watched this movie last night with my cousins and it was awesome. Fun fact: Ethan Hawke was filming another movie nearby, and Rian invited him to film the cameo on the docks. Review of the review: was waiting to see when both kitties walking in the background would be picked up and petted.
FACTS Glass Onion picked up the pace. Considering I have a attention span as a dog. The 1st Knives out was a slow burn. Though they have Anna De Armas in it. Her sexy self saved me from turning the channel 😍Love her in Knock Knock.
@@I-speak-U-shut-it Ana de Armas omg 🔥🥵 Knock Knock is such a mid movie thooooo, like she & Keanu & Lorenza Izzo were really doing the most to save that godawful script from imploding on itself and they were only succeeding for like every third scene lmao

if he did that, then the blame would be on her not him,
if they were only lying only to protect themselves, they would stick with him and blame her and say she blew the whole thing up in enact of sabotage or terrorism
they’re not.
The disruptors each claim that they will lie (in order to punish him for what he has done) to get him caught for his various crimes if he tries and goes after her,
She broke his hold on them so they’re protecting her.

I really appreciate that Rian Johnson is sitting comfortably in the reality that Murder Mysteries are fueled by grief and Benoit Blanc's stories are consistently dictated by the compassion of the grieving.
I have no idea what this means
@@billbill6094 basically their saying that the reason why we care about murder mysteries is because we wanna see justice served and Rian Johnson knows how to use that in these stories
@@billbill6094 murder mysteries can often take on a detached or even comical tone, but these movies also incorporate the real grief that comes around when someones life is taken. Its this grief that motivates the secondary protagonist (who knew the murderer).
33:15 And like the gun he didn't even come up with that idea himself. The scientist guy had just said 'after all that you didn't even burn it?' because he was too stunned that he would just keep the evidence that could destroy him and prove that the whole gang perjured. He couldn't even think up that idea himself.
omg I just realized he called her Helen before she was shot in the first scene when we don‘t know yet that she‘s still alive - totally went over my head
I thought it was just one of Benoit’s phrases like when he said “Halle Berry!” after having Jeremy Renner’s shot sauce
Not just that. She was speaking in her southern accent that she’d be more likely to speak in.
Did not catch it the first time but recognized it in the rewatch.
Holy smokes I need to watch this again cause I didn't catch that!
Same here. I also didn’t catch that Miles gave duke the glass right before he died until blanc explained it later.
I noticed it the first watch and got confused but I just thought that maybe I remembered her actual name wrong 😂
It’s hard to describe the way Rian Johnson’s movies like this feel like, it’s absolutely well directed but u don’t feel the usual prestige movie vibe from this(not in a derogatory way), it’s just…so fucking fun and brilliant
I think you nailed it. General, prestige movies can't have fun. And he managed to make what, by it's ingredients (cast, story, genre, etc) is a prestige movie, but it's fun and light hearted in it's execution while still maintaining it's smarts and wit. It's great!
Thanos was right😁
And to think he made The Last Jedi
Maybe it's because it's shot with the Netflix requirements. You know how it has to be watchable on a phone or tablet
@@leonardorossi1543 I know right, he gave us the coolest scene in Star Wars, bless this man
Janelle Monae and Daniel Craig were the standouts. Janelle was also amazing in Hidden Figures as well. This was more tongue in cheek than Knives Out, which made it more entertaining.
She is really killing it! I'll be honest I loved it so much I wouldn't mind a nomination. She was great in two roles!
Her music is also amazing. Please check out Dirty Computer if you have the chance; she’s criminally underrated
I literally just saw a poster for that movie and thought it was her but was like “…nah.” I was actually right 🤣
The pandemic thing may have been for the cameos... Angela Lansbury (she was playing Among Us), This was her last role, and Stephen Sondheim both are gone now so this would've had to take place earlier. Plus, Blanc was having cabin fever and dying for a case. Plus, there was an election going on so it was either 2020 or now (and it can't be now... dead cameos.)
If dead cameos mean the movie can’t take place in current time then how do u explain Stan lees cameos in endgame and captain marvel since he passed before those movies came out
They needed a reason for him to have the Mona Lisa in his house. I don't see how that would have worked any other way unless it was on loan from the Louvre because of the pandemic

I like the realism of the ending. People in power will always have the means to get out of trouble, but it doesn't mean you can't make their life a living hell. I guess at its core it's a 'stick it to the man' flick but inventive enough to subvert the trope.
LOVED this movie!! It had me hooked from the beginning, especially with how Rian treated the pandemic. He didn't bog us down/retraumatize us, but you could see their personalities right off the bat from how they were all reacting to it, down to the masks (or lack thereof) they wore. It was so smart.
Yeah Claire the politician wore it under her nose
I loved Ethan Hawke's role in this 😂.
Best character in the movie.

Just finished the movie!!! While I enjoyed the twists and turns of the first movie better, this was still really entertaining and well written nonetheless. Not to mention all the cameos!! Hugh Grant made me do a double take 💀💀
That’s what I said! First one was better but this one was more fun
I love how varied the opinions for this one are. Some like it just the same as the first, some like it less but enjoyed it nonetheless, some love it way more than the first. The most common similarity seems to be that they enjoyed it haha
This one was better imo. But they’re equally good
It's hard to top the first one, the first one was really innovative for its genre and I think it's incredible that Rian Johnson still manage to make an absolutely incredible sequel, it's hard for me to decide which one I like more, honestly.
i'm suprised people like the first one better. This was miles better than the first in my opinion.
I got to see this movie while it was in theaters and the audience was always on their feet. I can’t believe this movie is as good as it is.
LUCKY
Its a shame it wasnt released properly every where and not certain theaters
Woah wait this movie was out in theaters? Goddamn it. I wish it was out in theaters where I live instead of just being notified thru my Gmail saying it's out on Netflix 😭
@@Sh3rlock237 Ikr😭
@@KelpyG. FACTS lol love your pfp btw
I'm so happy I got to see this in a packed house in theaters this year. The audience absolutely made it that much better. I can't wait to watch it again to notice all of the background stuff and just how fair Rian played it.
I happened to look at the exact right part on the screen and noticed the shady hand off of the 'poisoned' glass, it's shown accurately in the original shot. One of the reasons this movie is so good, it rewards you if you pay attention because everything you need to know is shown at some point
The beautiful parallel between this movie and the 1st one is the ending where the main victim saves the life of the person closest to them. The prop knife and the Journal.
Edit- This movie actually was full of parallels to the first one for another example the burning of the evidence. I'm sure if you rewatch the 1st one you'll find tons more.
Omg
Not prequel. Prequels are movies that are made later but happen before the previous movie
@@Blur866 I think you mixed up the definitions buddy
@@tomd9170 No hes right. A prequel is a sequel that technically takes place before the first movie, and this movie is just a sequel.
@@zhulok Isn't that what I meant in my original comment? I was drawing parallels between the Prequel and the sequel
A glass onion is something that has a lot of layers that when you peel all the layers back and take the time to dissect it down, you realize it has been transparent all along. That's literally what this movie is, there's so many layers and layers to it. And in the end, it was almost exactly what we all thought it was.
In the beginning I genuinely did not think I’d like it but ended up being one of my favorite movies this year. Janelle monae was fantastic
Right she was awesome
I don't know if you've already been told, but, during the scene when Helen and Blanc are on his balcony and Blanc gets his idea, Helen says, "...you're the world greatest detective." Blanc responds with "No, I'm not Batman" ... right around that time Blanc gets his idea, right? If you listen to the music, they switch to Danny Elfman's Batman score.
At this point I'm obliged to give @NewRockstars the credit they deserve. I heard it from them.
Part of why it’s set during the pandemic is for Miles to own the Mona Lisa
And it was stupid and unbelievable
@@FireJach I disagree but that’s alright 😆
@@FireJachNot for a comedy. Of course it wasn’t believable.
It’s just when the movie was shot and it’s the setting… not a big deal
@@FireJachKim Kardashian was able to wear and destroy Marilyn munroe’s dress. This isn’t that unbelievable lol
I think at one point, after Duke dies, Miles walks away with Duke’s phone in his back pocket! Right there is when I caught that he was Duke’s killer. And the fact that they show you that he hands Duke his own glass at first, but then later show the version that he “tells” everyone what happened. I caught that too! But because of how it played out in the movie, I second guessed myself for a little bit. I thought, “oh maybe I’m just remembering wrong.” And I so love how they peppered in all of the details! They’re there for people to see and work out on their own. I wasn’t sure about Andi’s “death” when she gets shot, at that point, I figured anyone could have done it. But Duke’s death, I figured out for myself! First time I’ve done that in a murder mystery movie lol
I
MM
Ll

The overall mystery wasn’t as strong as the first one but the performances and cinematography were incredible if not better. Janelle performed her ass off 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
For the mystery, I strongly believe that's the point. This movie is deliberately anticlimactic, in that regard. Best example being the tense scene where the Mona Lisa's security system kept being set off by the phone dinging (explicitly told to us by Miles moments before), the camera zooming in on her face every time. There is a clear, established tempo. Duke's death took _longer_ to rhythmically settle in. The score for his death scene is also a smidge quieter than the CLUNK! of the security system. It's a tonal shift jarring enough to throw us off balance.
Why deliberately anticlimactic tho? Blanc, upon solving the mystery, is furious and points out the metaphor of the Glass Onion - densely layered, but crystal clear at its center. He bluntly states how moronic the mystery (and Miles Bron) is. In _Knives Out,_ Blanc's aloofness is made the butt of the joke many times throughout - he only proves his expertise in the final confrontation with Ransom, at the end. This movie makes certain his intelligence, perception, experience, and smarts are put at the forefront this time - he solves Bron's planned murder mystery minutes before it happens, we get more insight into his status and resources, as well as his arc with Helen.
I hope it's easier now to understand that this was 110% intentional from the start. I edited this comment to bring clarity to ny opinion. Not to mention, if you love KO... being underwhelmed will hit harder. I'm sure Rian took that into consideration when he helmed its sequel. But ofc, agree to disagree.
Have a good day, everyone!
The killer was much more obvious in the first one from the beginning tbh
It lost a bit of the intimacy from the first movie where it tracked Armas' character for the most part of the film. The first movie also felt like a 2nd person perspective like each time a character was providing information it was provided like in a murder mystery game, facing the camera as if directly to the viewer. I ended up not missing that intimacy early on when it decidedly went it's own route early on.
@@Toidal this is exactly it!!! I kept thinking about it bc i liked the cinematography on this new one more, and the acting was just as good. So I couldn’t wrap my head around why the first one felt better. Like the mystery felt a little weaker, but i liked the commentary as to why (rich people on power not necessarily being smart, they just can get away with shit). But its exactly what you said!!! So much on the first one felt like a bigger mystery because we found out about things through Ana de Arma’s character and we only saw what she saw constantly. A style of movie telling and intimacy with the story was lost when doing it differently in this sequel. A great movie still though!!! I even hope they go a whole different route on the next one (Netflix bough the rights for 2 films)
@@The_Gidz If you saw Miles giving his glass to Duke when you saw the movie the first time, like I did, the killer is very obvious.
My favorite part of this video is the moment when Helen brand comes out, and both of them look like they’re breaking a circuit. NGL, I have the exact same reaction. I think my favorite thing about these movies is that Rian Johnson somehow manages to make such stunningly, complicated and well written, storylines, while still taking advantage of the dumbest, most obvious shots. In knives out, it was the murderer’s name being Hugh so that Fran could say “HUGH did this” and not “you did this!”. In this case, it’s the ridiculous “it was a twin, the whole time!” angle!! chefs kiss.
I do love that too!
I really enjoyed the kinetic energy of this movie. I also like how it doesn’t take itself too seriously, considering the genre the film is in. Allowing for a more refreshing experience.
I love how the Helen reveal is amazing. The director told us right at the start that Benoic doesn't really like these type of games but then it immediately shows him ready to go to the island. This is a massive contradiction but people just forget about it because we are getting to now more about the rest of the cast. Him being there for anything other than Andi murder wouldn't make sense for the character.
I actually really appreciated that Glass Onion was set in present day. It sets it apart from movies of this genre from the past because usually this genre is relegated to being period pieces usually set in the 50s or prior. And most movies of this genre about murder mysteries itself are a genre of Hollywood past. So to see one both made in present day and set in present day really helps it feel fresh.
Yeah, which is so strange because Agatha Christie herself set every single one of her mystery novels in what was "present day" at the time of their publication (well, except for "Death Comes at the End", which was set in Ancient Egypt).
And not only that, she sometimes seemed to actively work against nostalgia. If there is an artist of any ilk in one of her stories, you could bet that their style would be the most modern (or post-modern) possible. The same for the decoration of the settings.
I think the tv show Poirot was the only one I ever watched that accurately portrayed how un-Edwardian the country homes of the rich often were in Christie's novels.
Agreed. Rian Johnson has said in interviews that it was important to him that, like with Christie, the stories themselves are contemporary to when they were written instead of period pieces.
If you ask me, it takes a really bold and brilliant writer to write a rock-solid murder mystery in the style of Christie in the age of smartphones and the Internet.
I saw the movie in theaters and I enjoyed every second of it. I can't wait to see more Benoit Blanc mysteries
I've found that watching this for a second time with you guys, that I've already spotted little details I missed before. This movie has such a great rewatch quality to it. Great video!
I love that the part that was supposed to show us how smart they were was basically ran by a lady doing housework cause without duke’s mom they wouldn’t even have opened it, also she was figuring most of it without looking at it. Loved all the camios specially Ethan Hawk
Knowing DaVinci and his empathy towards humanity, he'd approve the burning of the painting to stop a dangerous invention. He'd probably reply, "Eh, I'll just paint another one. And Klear, I have a few better ideas for it."
Seeing this in the theater was such an amazing time. The energy of the crowd was so high.
Watching in movies with good crowds is really something else. I saw Knives Out multiple times in theaters because the movie was so good and so were the crowds.
I'm still mad it was only a limited theatre release in the US. I love watching movies in the theatre, but live in Canada so was sol.
Your cat was pacing so much in the background. 😂 I knew eventually they’d end up in your lap. Well done, cat. You played him! 🎉
It was funny seeing Leblanc mad that dukes murder was just stupid. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Suicide technically
I love that To Love Somebody (great song) was played prominently in one of the scenes, and that Greg was singing along. 👍🏼
I think the pandemic tell us too who the characters are, Birdie was throwing a party and using a mask with holes in it, Duke didn't care about masks and huging, Claire pretended to care when answering the door and Lionel who isn't a bad person was using a mask... Idk, maybe i'm just thinking too much hahah
They were actually making fun of masks and vaccines in this movie. They ask what the "medicine" they were just given and they aren't told they just follow the what the "elite" give them and don't get answers. It's a play on liberals lol
Lionel is as bad as everyone else but he’s a man of science which is why he wears his.
I’ve only just noticed that when they met on the steps before she got shot, blanc called her Helen instead of Andie or Cassandra!
Fun fact- Edward Norton and Chris Evans- Who play Ransom and Miles- Are both introduced second in the trailer after Daniel Craig, and they both end up being the killers!
Captain America and the best Hulk (to me): "HAIL HYDRA!"
In 9:06 I just realized the moment placed the mic on her bag, I love how all the details and clue are in plain siggt but you never pay attention to it
the extreme specificity of the movie makes it so much better imo. like a lot of content has either vaguely referenced the pandemic or pretended it doesnt happen, but thos movie just 100% embrace the pandemic and the culture we created within it lol
loved the film! although i think it would be really cool, if they make another, they play of the formula that they’re using (outcast woman to group of bad people presumed killer turns out to be good guy and gets revenge on killer and group) but they use this formula and twist back on itself to subvert expectations.
Netflix bought the rights to make two sequels, so there’s gotta be one more film coming! Hoping it takes your formula twist too :]
The first thing that popped into my mind the moment Helen revealed that the journal protected her was Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and the line from Drake.
[Referring to the journal in Sully's front pocket that stopped a bullet] "I thought that this kind of thing only happened in the movies!!"
I mean, it happens now and then in real life. It shows on the news when it happens, everyone goes "whaaaaa?" and that's where it goes to the movies from.
Knives Out 1: Nurse versus greedy heirs
Knives Out 2: Teacher versus tech billionaire
omg, what next??!
@@endarasman Journalist versus gaslighting politician perhaps?
@@OneAndOnlyMeNah too overdone, it'll be like janitor vs politician
I saw this in theaters last month and was so engrossed with paying extra attention to all the details to try and figure out the mystery before the end, that I immediately noticed Miles give giving Duke his own glass, and when Duke ended up dying I was like “omg miles directly handed the glass to Duke!” And then they did the playback scene that shows Duke picking up the wrong glass and I was like “oooooohhh they were hoping no one was paying attention to the glasses!!! It’s miles!” 😂😂
I didn't see the thing with the glass but for me, what I caught was when miles was freaking out about someone trying to kill him and when he turned to go over the couch, I saw the phone in his back pocket and automatically remembered when it was said that he didn't have a phone and that's how I figured it out
What I loved about this movie..The first movie and Glass onion couldn't be anymore different. I loved this cast omg everyone brought it. I loved Daniel Craig as usual he had me rolling lol 😂 and I love Janelle Monae. And Dave Batista was funny AF. The whole cast . Omg Edward Norton reminded me of his character in birdman an over the top jerk. Lol This deserves Screenplay love. It's not easy to write a script with this many characters and it works.. Brilliant writing.
Something I didn't notice my first time watching until this was when Blanc met 'Andi' on the steps when the lights were out he calls the name Helen.
That moment you realize that even the burning of the napkin didn't actually come from Miles's head; he probably forgot he had the lighter on him until Lionel asked him why he didn't just burn up the napkin when he found it in the first place.
As someone who has read nearly every Hercule Poirot novel…
I felt like I was in one of his stories with this movie.
This movie was everything Death on a Nile wishes it was
Yes!
It feels like a love letter from someone who actually loves Christie, rather than another adaptation/imitation that misses the point of Christie's novels!
Christie is life!
As a big classical musician fan, my favorite cameo was Yo-Yo Ma. As soon as he popped up when the fugue was playing, I nearly squealed.
A funny detail is that Miles even stole the idea of burning the napkin from Lionel 🤦♀️
Just finished this movie and was fucken stocked to jump onto RUclips and see you guys have posted a reaction.
I don’t know how, but Rian Johnson has done it again. He has truly made the Whodunit genre his own, and has somehow reinvented it twice over. Excited to see what mysteries lie in the future for Benoit Blanc.
Great reaction, keep up the good work!!
This movie very much rewards rewatches. Highly recommend going back over it again and paying attention to all the details, like the fact that you can see Duke’s phone in Miles’ back pocket in the entire scene after the murder and that none of the “disruptors” actually directly solve the puzzles in the box. It’s so goddamn genius
When I was watching this the first time I completely missed Miles giving Duke the glass, then you rewatch that scene closer and that's exactly what happened and it's so cool. It's little stuff that really pulls this movie together
The best thing that makes this film beautiful is when they make daniel craig and hugh grant as a couple 😍❤️
The glass breaking scene may be my favourite in this movie. The first Knives Out had the return of Harlans line about a man being unablr to tell a real knife from a prop to the end. It came back from the dead. In thjs one, Helan turns Miles belief against him. "It starts with small things" the glass cup "then it gets bigger" the animals tl the grand statues and finally "the thing no one wants you to break" the mona lisa
I like the, possibly unintentional, call back to Edward Norton's character in The Italian Job never having an original plan. NOICE
Bruh…I saw this in theaters during its limited release and enjoyed it. The one thing I kept on returning to and saying under my breathe every time the Jesus mural appeared in a scene was, “Is that Kanye West?” And now, after watching your reaction, I can definitely confirm that it is indeed Kanye West. Genius. 😂😂😂😂
When does he appear? What have is missed? 😮
Thank you. I thought I was the only one 😂😂
A few things I picked up on a second watch through… You do see Miles hand Duke the tainted glass and when Blanc runs into ‘Andi’ just before she’s shot he calls her Helen (even though the switch-a-roo hasn’t been revealed yet). They’re things I didn’t even notice first time around because Rian Johnson is clever enough to make you see / hear things the way he wants you to until everything is revealed. Great movie. Can’t wait for the next one.
I just watched this movie, ive been waiting for this for like a year and ive been counting down the days. I got to say, not as good as the first one, but still pretty epical.
Didja catch the Joseph Gordon Levitt cameo in this one? Same as the last one really...
.....He's the voice of the Hourly Dong 😆
In the script, it was Gong, but Norton said Dong by accident in one take and Rian loved it and so they changed it and went with that.
during the first hour, there were just random dialogues from each character that it makes no sense....then here comes the second half of the movie and those dialogues makes sense now...great story telling....i hope they will make more of this because it's kinda of fun..especially the murder solving part...the casts were great...Dave Bautista is really good in this...he is getting better and better and hoping to see him in other movie projects he is in....
At the very end she gave a look parallel to Mona Lisa.. Leading back to what they said about the expression and how the perspective and angle mean everything in variation. Nice shot and callback!
Love the Benoit Blanc scarf!
Great films, both!
This movie is so damn rewatchable...when you watch it again you can pick up all the missing details..it is so fun and now i cant wait to see this bunch of times so that i can pick up more of the missing details and please for the love of God, dont watch Heavy Spoilers or any other missing detail video...this is the fun part of the movie
it's a worth a rewatch for extra hints and clues. it's so well done
I need to watch this again!
19:09 I've watched this with three different groups of people, and no one even bats an eye that Blanc calls her "Helen". It's right there, and we don't see it. Unbelievable.
Great reaction!
One of my favourite things about this movie is how genuinely angry Benoit gets at Miles' stupidity. It was a joy to watch.
Oh my god I just finished watching this on Netflix and I turned on RUclips to see this. Can life be any better?
Whoever does the outfits and interior design in these movies did such a great job
Idk if I'm tripping but when Edward Norton character was rapidly explaining before the power went out reminds me of his performance in fight club, he even had a poster behind him that looked like a fight club reference.
I really liked the ending with Helen in the Mona Lisa pose.
When I saw this in the cinema, Hugh Grant appearing took the house down. I think it’s just cos we want a competent prime minister. And it wouldn’t be a Daniel Craig film if a beautiful car didn’t get totalled.
Love how Daniel Craig went from Bond to these films, absolutely love his character and acting.
He certainly enjoys it. Came from a role that had HUGE physical demands on him to sitting in baths and easy chairs, smoking and drinking.
For me, this is on the same level as the first movie; both have their own things that make it a unique murder mystery, and I could watch both easily
Miles Bron really is a great metaphor for glass: it is strong in appearance and can be beautiful, but on the inside, it is empty (like his head) and fragile.
Every part of this movie had a satisfying bookended ending. By far one of my favorite murder mysteries of all time
Liked the first one more but still a entertaining, funny, And Worthy Sequel. Love seeing more of Blanc And Janelle is amazing. Enjoy the twists and turns of the first one and it keep me more engaged throughout but still enjoyed it and excited for Knives Out 3.
this franchise is one of my favourites in the entire world rn, and benoit blanc is one of my favourite characters ever. i got to see this movie the 1 day it showed in cinemas where i live, and i am SO glad i did
Rian Johnson should write mystery novels. He has a serious gift for it.
The shirtless painting of Miles is actually Brad Pitts's body from Fight Club with Norton's head of course. Brilliant!
They thought we wouldn't notice the Deja Vu cats in the backgroind, but we did.
I just watched it and it was soooo goooood!!! I really thought Kathryn Hahn would be the one who got the gun and put something on Dave's drink.
Also, the cats at the back just casually walking, love them. For a second I thought it was just one cat.
ur cat really distracting me, so cuteee😭 love the reaction!
39:00 Kitty seems so happpyyyyy XDDDDD
It's kind of funny how Edward Norton's character in this film is somewhat similar to his character in The Italian Job. Both are unimaginative and use other's ideas/dreams in order to better and enrich themselves. The main difference is that Edward Norton probably enjoyed making this movie more than the contractually obligated Italian Job.
30:00- I very love about this that the two of they cats walking around in the background during the video just perfect. I love it. 😂😂😂😂
I never noticed- but right before she gets shot, Benoit breaks their cover story to us and calls her 'helen' instead of her twin's name
There is a Beatles song called Glass Onion. John Lennon made the song to confuse people who look for clues and lyrical meanings in Beatles songs, which he did not like.
On rewatch you really see Batista’s Mom and Yo-Yo-Ma really find all the clues at the start, but Helen gets in on her own
Bc she smashed it
I just watched this movie last night with my cousins and it was awesome.
Fun fact: Ethan Hawke was filming another movie nearby, and Rian invited him to film the cameo on the docks.
Review of the review: was waiting to see when both kitties walking in the background would be picked up and petted.
Janelle Monae deserves an oscar after this movie...she was amazing
I love that Hugh Grant just shows up for less than 15 seconds as Benoit’s husband. Excellent.
after watching this for a second time today i think i might actually prefer it to the first one now

Glass Onion picked up the pace. Considering I have a attention span as a dog. The 1st Knives out was a slow burn. Though they have Anna De Armas in it. Her sexy self saved me from turning the channel 😍Love her in Knock Knock.
@@I-speak-U-shut-it Ana de Armas omg 🔥🥵 Knock Knock is such a mid movie thooooo, like she & Keanu & Lorenza Izzo were really doing the most to save that godawful script from imploding on itself and they were only succeeding for like every third scene lmao
