This movie is so good. U cant wait for a part 3 the role Faniel craig was born for. I love janelle monae so much. Idk if shes a better acress or singer. Her music is great her acting is superb.
KELLY'S HEROES (1970). A great WWII movie starring: Clint Eastwood, Donald Sutherland, Telly Savalas, Caroll O'Connor and others. A bunch of GIs go behind German lines to grab some gold bars. Wildly entertaining. Action packed. Fun too. Peace!
those people in the among us game in the beging....those where actual mystery writers. In fact one of them said tot he director, "Give me the lines and ill do the acting"
@@Mistah47 Why keep it? It's nothing but trouble for him. If helen didn't find it, but one of the other disruptors did, What do you think they would've done with that? Having the singular piece of evidence that can topple your glass castle in your house accomplishes nothing except give someone the rock to shatter it.
I love that Nikki noticed a bunch of things and then immediately let it go. That is the kind of thing that makes this mystery work and is exactly why Benoit couldn't solve the mystery himself. It was all based on the fact that he was expecting an intelligent adversary and never expected Miles Bron to be stupid enough to kill Andi right after a high profile trial.
@@TheJokerAkaCirque I love how the Miles Bron character is modeled after Elon Musk (long before his Twitter stupidity). The other characters are also designed after real people and/or types of people. Miles = Elon Musk Birdie = Paris Hilton (and other fashion models caught using sweatshop labor) Duke = Andrew Tate (and other misogynist "influences") Claire = Most politicians (hanging out with horrible people and thinking it could never hurt them). Whiskey = Gold-diggers/women and men who sell themselves for fame and money Lionell = the intelligent inventor dumb enough to work with an Elon Musk type. Peg = the PR rep who continually helps their idiot boss, and gets paid crap to do it.
@@maurer3d For what it's worth, Braun is a composite of a lot of billionaires beyond just Musk (though def also very Musk). There are fairly direct references to Zuckerberg, Elizabeth Holmes, Steve Jobs, and Bezos at the very least, alongside Musk.
the fact that Nikki was able to notice a bunch of things before they were revealed was hilarious to watch. Many people complained about the movie hiding a lot from the viewer to make the murder mystery almost impossible to know before the reveal, but it has just enough hints throughout that you should be able to see it from the very start, like a glass onion.
I noticed when watching that Miles handed Duke his glass and that Benoit called Andi Helen before the flashback. Obviously not the answers to the entire story but it's not too hard to pick up stuff if you know what to look for when watching a movie like this.
@@northwind2538 I noticed the handing of the glass, but then forgot it when Miles lie was shown. It really is a neat trick the movie pulls on you, and people can’t say the movie hides it when it is shown on screen. What are people talking about?
The fact is that this movie basically hid nothing, it didn’t lay out the whole story sure, but if viewers paid attention, all the evidence that we needed to point the finger at Miles was really right out in the open. The movie was just smart enough to know how to distract people from what they saw and play on the way that people’s memories of events can be influenced and suggestible.
I think a lot of it went over people's heads and unfortunately they deem it a bad movie/not given any effort or real thought because of their lack of knowing
this was such a good sequel. janelle monae’s acting, hugh grant playing blanc’s husband. it was 2 hours but it felt so short because of how interesting it was
Something pointed out in an essay on the movie re: Miles’s lack of creativity: When he is introduced to the disrupters, his outfit/hairstyle is from Tom Cruise in Magnolia and the black long sleeve shirt in another scene was a la Steve Jobs. LOVED that touch.
@@specificsoup Same! I was thinking "This means something to me" but couldn't put my finger on it. P.S. Tom Cruise killed that role. So did everyone in that movie, really...
One of the best part of this movie is they actually show you stuff as it happens and not just in the retelling. You actually see Miles take Dukes gun and put it behind his back, you can see him put the gun in the ice bucket, you can see the phone is his back pocket, you see Miles hand Duke the glass. Unlike most other movies that don't show you any of this type of stuff until the detective recounts the story.
I wonder why most whodunits hide the clues, since they all tend to try for an Agatha Christie style and she definitely was into openly showing all clues to the reader.
For sure. When my boyfriend and I was watching it he noticed when it happened that Miles handed Duke his drink. They didn’t hide it but it’s such a small detail at first and easily passed but we saw it
@@kerilowell70 Also when Blanc yells Helen before she is shot was in the first telling of the story, but no one questioned why he was calling Andi, Helen.
(10 months lats but whatever) I was SO mad because when he kept yelling LOOK AT HER DRESS BIRDIE KEEP SPINNING LOOK AT THE DRESS I literally sat up and watched everything BUT the dress and I still didn't register either of those three things
The character of Derol is sort of an inside joke. The character is played by Noah Segan, one of Rian Johnson's closest friends. Noah has been in all of Rian's films. He played the enthusiastic trooper in Knives Out.
My favorite part of you guys reacting to this is how many times Nikki accurately called something and then immediately forgot it as the movie threw a distraction up. Truly the intended experience.
@@ColinPoole I though that too, its most likely that she lives with him considering how nice the house so she also probably has yo worry about where shes going to live now because duke doesn’t seem like he has the foresight to write a will or get life insurance.
Just like Knives Out, this movie is a lot of fun to rewatch and spot all the clues. The first time we see the pool scene, you can see the recorder drop into Birdie's bag. In the first scene at the party, you can see Miles hand Duke his glass. Etc...
@@northwind2538 and in that same scene, Miles guides everyone toward the house but Blanc and Andi stay behind on the beach and Andi says to Blanc “this rich people shit is weird”.
"It's a dangerous thing to mistake speaking without thought for speaking the truth." Fun Fact: Joseph Gordon-Levitt voices Miles's clock, the Hourly Dong. He has appeared in all of Rian Johnson's films. Also, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery further proves Rian Johnson's impressive credentials, matching it's phenomenal predecessor in it's quality delivering an equally strong sequel that tells an equally complex, funny and endlessly unpredictable narrative that's designed for multiple viewings. It's easily the best film to be set during the pandemic.
And then there's Noah Segan as Daryl who has also appeared in every feature film Rian Johnson has done...and even one TV episode he directed. Breaking Bad's Ozymandias.
The harbour scene at the start is a really good example of how you can do character building with literally every part of your movie - even the masks and how they wear them tells you something about the characters. Benoit Blanc colour coordinates. Birdie wears a mesh mask and everyone goes "of *course* she's that kind of asshole". Claire wears a mask, but lets it slip off before belatedly remembering to reposition it, much like she has no personal stake in the politics she runs on. Duke just doesn't wear one.
"She's putting out a fire. No, a literal fire" I laughed so hard, because I've been to two burlesque shows with fire dancers, and BOTH times, they nearly set the place on fire. And sure enough...
The details in this movie. They're INCREDIBLE. Claire bumps into Duke right before he dies that makes it look like she could have taken the gun, Blanc calls Helen by her real name right before she's shot, Miles is shown handing Duke the pineapple drink the first time. It's crazy how well thought out it all was
There's already a 3rd one greenlit and Rian has said he will keep making them as long as Daniel Craig wants to make them and they can get them greenlit. Also, Miles thinks Helen is Andi when she shows up on the island. Watch his reaction when Blanc explains that she's Helen at the end. Even the idea to have a murder mystery weekend came from him murdering Andi.
Yeah, also, Milles attempt at a alibi was sending Andi's house a box saying "solve MY MURDER". I'm with Blanc, Milles is infuriatingly dumb. It wouldn't surprise me if he were dumber than Birdie!
@@edisonlima4647 yeah, he was. Birdie connected the dots with her “oh, wait!” and Miles is still processing even after she’s introduced as Helen Brand 😂
What if the third movie is about the muder mystery that Blanc solved that Claire was talking about when they first met??? The ballet dancer with the thing and the thing.
I think that's the best type of attitude to take with making a sequel. No studio pressure to "continue the franchise"; just a director and a lead actor who like making these movies and will keep doing it for as long as they want to and no longer.
24:55 Did you notice he said Helen not Andi or Cassandra ? I was like why did he call her by a different name and then this happened 26:24 The gasped when i first watch this movie, a twin, of course. I Seriously did not expect that. Loved this sequel but I prefer the first one.
The first movie mixed up the mystery genre by not technically being a MURDER mystery. This one shook things up by not making it a murder MYSTERY, just making you think it was complicated when it wasn't.
It's so hard to make a sequel that lives up the original, and yet, Glass Onion might even be better than Knives Out. I'm glad to hear Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig want to keep making these as long as there's a good idea for it.
Just Fyi, Miles wasn't sure she was dead, he put her to sleep before putting her in the car and poisoning her with carbone monoxyde to appear as a suicide so if someone found her in time she could have been saved.
For real! I was so happy when we see her crushing the box and then was devastated when she got shot, hoping she wouldn't be dead. She's so great in everything!
I just wanted to say I’m going through a really hard time, I’m having to put my dog of 13 years down in a couple of days and I’m devastated, but y’all’s videos bring me so much joy and laughter. Thank you for making these for us.
It wasn't until I finished watching and then watched a few reactions that it hit me what had been a huge clue right at the beggining. When Blanc is in the bath talking to his friends he says that the LAST thing he needs are simple puzzles or a vacation but then he turns up at the island seemingly THRILLED about a murder mystery party in which the invitation was as he said "simple children's puzzles" it finally hit me that it was a huge red flag that I missed completely, so many missed clues I should really give up trying to guess the ending.
I ALSO SAID “Sleeping Pills!!!!” When Helen asked “guess what wasn’t there” 💀😭 It would’ve totally made sense though. And I thought it would have been nice for Helen to use Miles own napkin to show him while keeping the original one safe in her pockets.
You guys nailed the bit about the structure of the film being so fun. What’s even more fun is that the story is told in a structure of a fugue, a musical structural style explained by Yo-Yo Ma in his cameo as the member of Birdy’s ‘pod’, lol, who helps the gang open the puzzle box by identifying the music being played as a fugue. I’m going to explain this terribly so apologies, but a fugue is musical composition that begins with one musical piece then layers that same piece over and over w/slight variations until it reveals something new. Terrible definition but I loved how the film did the same, folded in on itself again and again until it revealed the truth, hidden in plain sight. Really fun movie. And I hope someone else here comments on fugues and does a better job ;)
In the flashback to when Andi introduced Miles to the group, Mile's outfit is pretty much an exact replica of Tom Cruise's in Magnolia. Which makes sense for Miles, since he doesn't come up with his own ideas, he just steals other peoples'. Also, the photo of Miles with the napkin in that one article is imitating a photo of Elizabeth Holmes (Theranos CEO who was sentenced to prison for fraud)
i love how the movie played into the idea of miles being the muderer. its a great use of occams razor- or in this case a glass onion- fallacy that sometimes the obvious answer is the most obvious for a reason.
Even though I was paying close attention the only clue I caught was the drink switch. Knew something was up as soon as Myles told everyone to focus on Birdie. Lol really enjoyed this one.
I had the same thought about Miles, but didn't want to guess it as "No way it's him, too obvious" and yet it worked. Oh, and I lowkey did briefly consider Daryl, with my list of suspects lmao
I did the EXACT SAME reaction about the hot sauce going in the nose lol and your wholeheartedly laugh Nikki when Duke’s momma slapped him had me repeatedly watch it over again! You’re laugh is addicting!! 🤣🤣🤣
Great reaction. Nikki is me and I am Nikki when watching these movies. Lol. It’s Nikki laughing at Steve being wrong about the missing red envelop and Steve’s redeeming “someone DOES” and the side eye lol. Petty.
Fun fact: Stephen Sondheim (Broadway Icon and one of the Among Us players) and Anthony Perkins used to write and host murder mystery parties for their friends back in the late 60's and early 70's.
Had low expectations for Knives out but loved every minute of it, same thing again with glass onion , saw it in theaters a month ago , far exceeded my expectations and had so much fun , hands down my film of the year
I don't know much of southern's accent, so I can't comment on Craig's accuracy, but man, I almost forgot that he's English. And Dave Batista is getting good roles these day too. Amazing movie.
Have watched both this one and the first movie back to back a few times now and they’re both so much fun. Two of the best whodunnits of recent years for sure.
LOVED both the Glass Onion movies! and i didnt realize until today that Angela Lansbury was reprising her role as Jessica Fletcher for her brief cameo!
I love that the real premise of the film is that rich people are just entitled idiots that are living like parasites off of society, but the rest of us have bought into the myth that their weird behavior and strange lives only seem that way because they're smarter and better than us, and we aren't in a position to understand....when in reality they're just fucking idiotic sociopaths that shouldn't be allowed to run things. I suppose the original, "Knives Out," was saying much the same thing, but this time it feels like Rian Johnson really doubled down on the idea. I also think it's damn funny that they had Edward Norton first dress as Tom Cruise's character from the movie, "Magnolia," then he was dressed as Steve jobs, and finally as Mark Zuckerberg. It reinforces the idea that Miles has no original ideas and just adopts cultural markers that make him seem like someone you should listen to.
I love watching your reactions. Nikki saw the clues like I did but the way the movie is setup has you second guessing or not follow through on your original thought. 🤔 😍😍
Fun fact: When the Mona Lisa burns, you can see that it's on canvas. The original, however, is painted on a wood panel and is also smaller than the painting seen here. So Miles was not smart enough to know that it wasn't the real Mona Lisa that the French Government leased to him.
Watching again on this it actually shows Miles giving the drink but when Miles talks about it it shows that it was a mix up but when the truth comes out It shows Miles did give him the drink
LOVED this movie! Not quite as good as Knives Out....but dayum it had some good characters and twists! Having already watched the movie I have to give Nikki her props she caught some things I definitely missed on my first watch!!
Kareem Abdul Jabar is great as a member of the mystery crew, as he’s a big Sherlock Holmes nerd and writer. Natasha Lyonne is going to be in a crime show by the author/director.
You know this man Miles is truly unimaginative and steals all his ideas bc he even stole the idea to burn the napkin from Lionel, who asked him earlier in the same scene why he didn’t get rid of it or burn it lol Like he really can’t think of anything himself 😂
8:13 Literally my favorite joke in the movie. "Is that dock a Banksy" "Peasoshite" Is that the Greek name for the island" 8:30 The song Miles (Ed Norton) was playing when the boat arrived was "Blackbird" by The Beatles, it was literally a song about how white people have mistreated black people, and stolen from them for so long (AKA Civil Rights). This is a major theme of the conflict of the entire movie, with miles stealing the company, and all his white "friends" helping.
Ya'll really need to watch Death to Smoochie if you want to see Ed Norton is a COMPLETELY different roll that is HILLARIOUS and co-stars Robin Williams. You will not regret it!
One little detail that I love: after the original Knives Out came out, Rian Johnson did a video on TH-cam (I can't remember who it was with, Vanity Fair maybe?) breaking down a scene from the film and he mentioned that Apple will let you use iPhones for free in any movie, as long as the villain doesn't use one. So, in Knives Out, you'll notice that Chris Evans is the only character who uses an Android phone. In this one, knowing that he had already let the world in on that little filmmaking secret... he didn't have ANYONE use an iPhone, and the actual killer didn't own a cell phone at all.
I watched it again last week and Marta has a cheap Android phone, not only to throw us off the scent but also cos she probably can’t even afford one second hand.
25:11 no joke I was actually convinced it was Darryl at this point in the movie. It seemed like they tried too hard to make him seem irrelevant but in the end he was just what he seemed to be lol.
The thing that gets me is we are all programmed to think, Miles wouldn't do something so obvious...he would get caught. But here is a guy with friends who HAVE purjuried themselves protecting him. The commentary of you seeing things happened , handing Duke the glass, but believing Duke must have grabbed the wrong glass...Knowing pineapple was in the drink but blaming poison. What autopsy wouldn't figure out the real cause of death. It would have been ruled an accident bc his 'friends' would have backed him up.
The funny thing is, we're told that Miles is an idiot within the first few minutes of the film when we hear his ideas (0:55) and when we first see him his only friend on the island is just a stoner (9:07) despite the fact he could have anyone he wants on the island.
I think it’s interesting how Helen breaking the glass in the final part of the film mirrors the speech about disruptors how at first you should break something people are tired of but when you continue to break stuff people will try and stop you even those who helped start breaking stuff
49:53 this is the first time I've seen in reaction videos in this movie that someone actually sees through the motivation of them speaking the truth in the end, FINALLY!! THANK YOU!!! That's the only motivation they turned against him, the moment he burnt the painting, they knew they need to get away from him as far as possible, draw the line between themselves and him to keep themselves save and morally right, not because of some sense of righteousness

Oh nice catch! I forgot he had said that!
Miles is ridiculously dumb 😂. Like each extra detail just makes him even dumber ffs. 😂
He only burned it when it was gonna be used against him. If Helen never found her sister’s note, Miles would’ve kept it.
Also he points excitedly at Lionel right after he burned it as if to say “thanks for the idea dude!”

Her freak outs remind me of when Lucille Bluth sees Gene Parmesan
I legitimately went, Oh it's Goldie Hawn! And then I was like, Wait a second. She channeled her perfectly.
The details in this movie. They're INCREDIBLE. Claire bumps into Duke right before he dies that makes it look like she could have taken the gun, Blanc calls Helen by her real name right before she's shot, Miles is shown handing Duke the pineapple drink the first time. It's crazy how well thought out it all was
You can also see both the outline of Duke’s phone in Miles’s back pocket and very briefly the moment where he puts the gun with the drinks
“So dumb it’s brilliant.”
Sums up this entire movie more than I can put in a thousand words and I love that 😂
"NO! It's just dumb!"
I love how Blanc is pained and offended by Miles's idiocy.
I love how his "No its just dumb" has an almost "don't encourage this type of behavior" tone to it lol
There's already a 3rd one greenlit and Rian has said he will keep making them as long as Daniel Craig wants to make them and they can get them greenlit.
Also, Miles thinks Helen is Andi when she shows up on the island. Watch his reaction when Blanc explains that she's Helen at the end. Even the idea to have a murder mystery weekend came from him murdering Andi.
Yeah, also, Milles attempt at a alibi was sending Andi's house a box saying "solve MY MURDER".
I'm with Blanc, Milles is infuriatingly dumb.
It wouldn't surprise me if he were dumber than Birdie!
@@edisonlima4647 yeah, he was. Birdie connected the dots with her “oh, wait!” and Miles is still processing even after she’s introduced as Helen Brand 😂
What if the third movie is about the muder mystery that Blanc solved that Claire was talking about when they first met???
The ballet dancer with the thing and the thing.
I think that's the best type of attitude to take with making a sequel. No studio pressure to "continue the franchise"; just a director and a lead actor who like making these movies and will keep doing it for as long as they want to and no longer.
24:55 Did you notice he said Helen not Andi or Cassandra ? I was like why did he call her by a different name and then this happened 26:24 The gasped when i first watch this movie, a twin, of course. I Seriously did not expect that.
Loved this sequel but I prefer the first one.
All the other clues, from her first introduction she has her hair covered by a towel and does not even attempt to solve the puzzle.
The first movie mixed up the mystery genre by not technically being a MURDER mystery. This one shook things up by not making it a murder MYSTERY, just making you think it was complicated when it wasn't.
The actor who plays Daryl is in all of Rian's movies. A pilot in Star Wars. A police detective in Knives Out, etc.
The ill fated Dode in Brick always stands out as one of his best roles, what a movie.
Oh that makes it funnier that Miles Bron says something about "He has to be here" or something
@@amandarose4469 man I need to watch Brick again, such a stellar movie
Also a firefighter in an episode of Breaking Bad that Rian Johnson directed.
It's so hard to make a sequel that lives up the original, and yet, Glass Onion might even be better than Knives Out. I'm glad to hear Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig want to keep making these as long as there's a good idea for it.
Just Fyi, Miles wasn't sure she was dead, he put her to sleep before putting her in the car and poisoning her with carbone monoxyde to appear as a suicide so if someone found her in time she could have been saved.
Janelle Monae was sooo good in this. She's a star for sure.. ♥️
For real! I was so happy when we see her crushing the box and then was devastated when she got shot, hoping she wouldn't be dead. She's so great in everything!
I just wanted to say I’m going through a really hard time, I’m having to put my dog of 13 years down in a couple of days and I’m devastated, but y’all’s videos bring me so much joy and laughter. Thank you for making these for us.
It wasn't until I finished watching and then watched a few reactions that it hit me what had been a huge clue right at the beggining. When Blanc is in the bath talking to his friends he says that the LAST thing he needs are simple puzzles or a vacation but then he turns up at the island seemingly THRILLED about a murder mystery party in which the invitation was as he said "simple children's puzzles" it finally hit me that it was a huge red flag that I missed completely, so many missed clues I should really give up trying to guess the ending.
I ALSO SAID “Sleeping Pills!!!!” When Helen asked “guess what wasn’t there” 💀😭 It would’ve totally made sense though.
And I thought it would have been nice for Helen to use Miles own napkin to show him while keeping the original one safe in her pockets.
I suddenly feel better about saying "Sleeping pills " too 😉
@@shevek2954 I also said sleeping pills and I heard another reactor say journal...lol
You guys nailed the bit about the structure of the film being so fun. What’s even more fun is that the story is told in a structure of a fugue, a musical structural style explained by Yo-Yo Ma in his cameo as the member of Birdy’s ‘pod’, lol, who helps the gang open the puzzle box by identifying the music being played as a fugue. I’m going to explain this terribly so apologies, but a fugue is musical composition that begins with one musical piece then layers that same piece over and over w/slight variations until it reveals something new. Terrible definition but I loved how the film did the same, folded in on itself again and again until it revealed the truth, hidden in plain sight. Really fun movie. And I hope someone else here comments on fugues and does a better job ;)
I didn't even realize until I watched this edit you guys did: He even got the idea to burn the napkin from the scientist🤣 Great reaction!
I loved the ending so much. It has all the twists and bonkers climax of knives out but just multiplied by 100
DAMN Nicki's ON IT this whole video put her in knives out 3 😭😭😭😭😭
In the flashback to when Andi introduced Miles to the group, Mile's outfit is pretty much an exact replica of Tom Cruise's in Magnolia. Which makes sense for Miles, since he doesn't come up with his own ideas, he just steals other peoples'.
Also, the photo of Miles with the napkin in that one article is imitating a photo of Elizabeth Holmes (Theranos CEO who was sentenced to prison for fraud)
I just realized that even burning the napkin wasn't Miles' idea. It was from Lionel asking "You didn't burn it?" right beforehand
I’m pretty convinced Derol was Covid. He’s always drinking a corona. Hovering in the background. “I’m not here. Ignore me.”
"Duke don't dance with pineapple" God I love Bautista in this movie.
i love how the movie played into the idea of miles being the muderer. its a great use of occams razor- or in this case a glass onion- fallacy that sometimes the obvious answer is the most obvious for a reason.
Even though I was paying close attention the only clue I caught was the drink switch. Knew something was up as soon as Myles told everyone to focus on Birdie. Lol really enjoyed this one.
I saw someone point out that Helen's ending pose is the same as the Mona Lisa. Rian Johnson is great.
22:02 Nikki LITERALLY solves the entire movie!
It breaks my heart to see Angela Lansbury's cameo, it's the last movie she was ever in!!
Carrie Fisher, Christopher Plummer, Lansbury, and Stephen Sondheim all died shortly after making a Rian Johnson movie.
I had the same thought about Miles, but didn't want to guess it as "No way it's him, too obvious" and yet it worked. Oh, and I lowkey did briefly consider Daryl, with my list of suspects lmao
I did the EXACT SAME reaction about the hot sauce going in the nose lol and your wholeheartedly laugh Nikki when Duke’s momma slapped him had me repeatedly watch it over again! You’re laugh is addicting!! 🤣🤣🤣
Great reaction. Nikki is me and I am Nikki when watching these movies. Lol. It’s Nikki laughing at Steve being wrong about the missing red envelop and Steve’s redeeming “someone DOES” and the side eye lol. Petty.
Fun fact: Stephen Sondheim (Broadway Icon and one of the Among Us players) and Anthony Perkins used to write and host murder mystery parties for their friends back in the late 60's and early 70's.
Kareem Abdul Jabbar has written a series of murder mystery novels about brother Mycroft Holmes and his brother Sherlock.
They also wrote the murder mystery film The Last of Sheila, which Rian Johnson has said was an inspiration for Glass Onion.
Nikki was all over this one from the get-go! Kudos!
Steven dabbing and Nikki just casually saying "No." KILLED me. XD
FUN FACT: Joseph Gordon Levit was the one who voiced the hourly "dong"
It's a strange cameo coz no one would know if it wasn't public. Like Daniel Craig playing a stormtrooper
I liked the editing to one second shows him sitting by the phone the next it cuts the a scene when the phone’s gone very nice Steven if you did that
I realised afterwards that the plot is really clued in by the opening. Blanc plays Among Us. They're the imposters.
Had low expectations for Knives out but loved every minute of it, same thing again with glass onion , saw it in theaters a month ago , far exceeded my expectations and had so much fun , hands down my film of the year
I don't know much of southern's accent, so I can't comment on Craig's accuracy, but man, I almost forgot that he's English. And Dave Batista is getting good roles these day too. Amazing movie.
Movies better on rewatch too! Had me feeling dumb seeing all the clues infront of me.
I made sure to see this in the theater during its brief pre-Netflix run.
Have watched both this one and the first movie back to back a few times now and they’re both so much fun. Two of the best whodunnits of recent years for sure.
damn nikki was on it today. even noticed darryl was a decoy early on
Had no idea it was gonna be this much fun. Makes me wanna watch the first one.
Run, don't walk! Knives Out is even better IMO.
same! I haven’t seen knives out about to watch it now with everyone saying how good it is
LOVED both the Glass Onion movies! and i didnt realize until today that Angela Lansbury was reprising her role as Jessica Fletcher for her brief cameo!
The fact I said "sleeping pills" just as confidently as Steven when I first watched the movie😂 I felt so dumb
20:52 "You can't handle the truth" got me 😂
You're the first reactors I've seen to guess that it was pineapple juice from the outset :D
I love that the real premise of the film is that rich people are just entitled idiots that are living like parasites off of society, but the rest of us have bought into the myth that their weird behavior and strange lives only seem that way because they're smarter and better than us, and we aren't in a position to understand....when in reality they're just fucking idiotic sociopaths that shouldn't be allowed to run things. I suppose the original, "Knives Out," was saying much the same thing, but this time it feels like Rian Johnson really doubled down on the idea. I also think it's damn funny that they had Edward Norton first dress as Tom Cruise's character from the movie, "Magnolia," then he was dressed as Steve jobs, and finally as Mark Zuckerberg. It reinforces the idea that Miles has no original ideas and just adopts cultural markers that make him seem like someone you should listen to.
It's a theme he also used in The Last Jedi.
Edward Norton in Knives Out: Glass Onion = Rich people in a nutshell.
I love watching your reactions. Nikki saw the clues like I did but the way the movie is setup has you second guessing or not follow through on your original thought. 🤔 😍😍
glass onion is benoit blanc on summer vacation. now we just need one of him in the spring and winter lol
Spring Benoit would be so fun! And I'd love to see his outfits for the winter. The swimsuit tickled me.
Love seeing yall react to their masks and the way they wear it. Says so much about their characters
Janelle Monáe is brilliant. Love her.
Fun fact: When the Mona Lisa burns, you can see that it's on canvas. The original, however, is painted on a wood panel and is also smaller than the painting seen here. So Miles was not smart enough to know that it wasn't the real Mona Lisa that the French Government leased to him.
Watching again on this it actually shows Miles giving the drink but when Miles talks about it it shows that it was a mix up but when the truth comes out It shows Miles did give him the drink
LOVED this movie! Not quite as good as Knives Out....but dayum it had some good characters and twists! Having already watched the movie I have to give Nikki her props she caught some things I definitely missed on my first watch!!
I’m so glad Nikki loves Janelle Monáe. Best thing I’ve watched today
Kareem Abdul Jabar is great as a member of the mystery crew, as he’s a big Sherlock Holmes nerd and writer. Natasha Lyonne is going to be in a crime show by the author/director.
You know this man Miles is truly unimaginative and steals all his ideas bc he even stole the idea to burn the napkin from Lionel, who asked him earlier in the same scene why he didn’t get rid of it or burn it lol Like he really can’t think of anything himself 😂
@33:22 Nikki saying “They all did it together?” was comedy gold!
You forgot that he even had to be given the idea to burn the napkin.
8:13 Literally my favorite joke in the movie.
"Is that dock a Banksy"
"Peasoshite"
Is that the Greek name for the island"
8:30 The song Miles (Ed Norton) was playing when the boat arrived was "Blackbird" by The Beatles, it was literally a song about how white people have mistreated black people, and stolen from them for so long (AKA Civil Rights). This is a major theme of the conflict of the entire movie, with miles stealing the company, and all his white "friends" helping.
And Birdie thinks the song is about her.
Ya'll really need to watch Death to Smoochie if you want to see Ed Norton is a COMPLETELY different roll that is HILLARIOUS and co-stars Robin Williams. You will not regret it!
One little detail that I love: after the original Knives Out came out, Rian Johnson did a video on TH-cam (I can't remember who it was with, Vanity Fair maybe?) breaking down a scene from the film and he mentioned that Apple will let you use iPhones for free in any movie, as long as the villain doesn't use one. So, in Knives Out, you'll notice that Chris Evans is the only character who uses an Android phone. In this one, knowing that he had already let the world in on that little filmmaking secret... he didn't have ANYONE use an iPhone, and the actual killer didn't own a cell phone at all.
I watched it again last week and Marta has a cheap Android phone, not only to throw us off the scent but also cos she probably can’t even afford one second hand.
I like the first one for the tricks in it and I like the second one for the storytelling they have! Both are great in their own way. Love these movies
Nikki guesses the whole movie!
25:11 no joke I was actually convinced it was Darryl at this point in the movie. It seemed like they tried too hard to make him seem irrelevant but in the end he
was just what he seemed to be lol.
So impressed Nikki spotted the phone in Miles' back pocket
Love this reaction! And I love the use of Nat King Cole's "Mona Lisa" is in this movie 🤣
The kibbitzing grandmother was one of my favourite moments too.
Some great movies featuring Edward Norton are "Primal Fear," "American History X," and "Keeping the Faith."
Agree. Also "The Illusionist".
Fight Club, but that's the first rule of fight club. You don't talk about fight club.
Agree! Also, The 25th Hour and Leaving Brooklyn.
The thing that gets me is we are all programmed to think, Miles wouldn't do something so obvious...he would get caught. But here is a guy with friends who HAVE purjuried themselves protecting him. The commentary of you seeing things happened , handing Duke the glass, but believing Duke must have grabbed the wrong glass...Knowing pineapple was in the drink but blaming poison. What autopsy wouldn't figure out the real cause of death. It would have been ruled an accident bc his 'friends' would have backed him up.
The funny thing is, we're told that Miles is an idiot within the first few minutes of the film when we hear his ideas (0:55) and when we first see him his only friend on the island is just a stoner (9:07) despite the fact he could have anyone he wants on the island.
Such a great cast but Bautista and Janelle were stand outs for me, I hope to see them in more stuff soon!
I think it’s interesting how Helen breaking the glass in the final part of the film mirrors the speech about disruptors how at first you should break something people are tired of but when you continue to break stuff people will try and stop you even those who helped start breaking stuff
41:46 the way you guys looked at each other and nodded in understanding 🤣🤣
49:53 this is the first time I've seen in reaction videos in this movie that someone actually sees through the motivation of them speaking the truth in the end, FINALLY!! THANK YOU!!! That's the only motivation they turned against him, the moment he burnt the painting, they knew they need to get away from him as far as possible, draw the line between themselves and him to keep themselves save and morally right, not because of some sense of righteousness
Such a good movie, happy you watched it!
