At first you feel really bad that Harlan died for no reason, but he's so animated in his final moments that you realize this is exactly how he would choose to go. An intricate murder mystery.
You just unlocked a new theory: Harlan purposely cuts ties with his family just before his birthday, knowing one of them would snap and launch a murder mystery into action
This movie has insane rewatchability. There are so many little things like Richard casually handing Marta an empty plate as if she's a servant (when they called her over for their political debate but never let her speak), or each of them saying a different country that Marta is supposedly from, or Walt saying that he noted the time "midnight" when it was Marta who specifically called attention to the time. Or when Benoit and Marta first meet Benoit looks down on her shoe and presumably sees the drop of blood. Just so many little details!
There’s also the brown bottle that Ransom used to burn down the medical examiners office. When Blanc reveals that Ransom had hired him, you see a row of those jugs in the background in the flashback scene. In the earlier scene where Marta is at his house going over the note, the same jugs are in the background, but one is missing.
Also just the fact that he’s named Ransom. Like, prime suspect. There’s also a huge clue dropped when we find out he was his research assistant, hence how he came up with such a convoluted plot - he’s basically an evil Harlan
I always liked the little detail that Ransom is described as very similar to Harlan. Harlan came up with the plot to help Marta hide in a few seconds and commented about how he should write it down for a book, meanwhile Ransom thought up the plot to frame Marta within a couple minutes after he left the party
Also that the Author realized the whole plot against him, planned a way out for Martha, but actually knew he wasn't poisoned, he carefully asked her for the symptoms and which he should be feeling and a few of them would have stopped him from even being fully conscious by then. He probably intended for Martha to be caught, not initially but later, hence a plan that led right past his mother who liked looking out the window and wasn't completely batty like the rest of the family believed and that to lead to that she didn't in fact poison him. This leading to the investigation of the missing antidote and who else came back. Benoit Blank was just the cherry on top to make it run smoother. Because a mystery novelist would know exactly how to fool the police and that the culprit would make sure she was caught.
Probably my favorite shot of this movie is right at the end when Marta is on the balcony. The way she’s holding the mug, the only exposed words are “My house.”
You being on the verge of the solution the whole time shows that its a GOOD mystery movie. It gives you enough clues to get close but has enough subtlety with the rest of the clues that keep you from putting it all together, that’s the detective’s job.
Exactly!! If I can just get to the rught conclusion, I won't be satisfied. If there's no way for me to even get close to the solution, I won't be satisfied. This movie toes that line PERFECTLY.
in my opinion one of the best plot twists there is. It kind of changes the genre of the movie from a whodunnit to more of a thriller if she will get away with it but tells the viewer in a subtle way that not everything is fitting together and in the last act it twists again and reveals it has been a murder mystery all along.
They constantly say that Marta is from a different Latin American country: Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil, etc. They don't care or know about the difference between any of those countries. It's just another way of showing they're all ignorant about race, because they're so full of their rich white privilege. Phase 1: You think this is a whodunit, and you're trying to figure out who the killer was. Phase 2: You find out that Marta was accidentally responsible, and now you're hoping she can hide it. Phase 3: You find out she wasn't, and deserves the entire inheritance after all. By the way, Harlan's "I have to save you from people finding out" thing wasn't just about saving her mother from the immigration authorites, it was also about making sure his will was recognized. He needed Marta to be seen as innocent, so that his will could go through and his other family members would be cut off. He's still a sweetheart here, but he also had another motive in saving her.
Phase 4: You realize that Marta actually WAS a bad nurse, because she LITERALLY did not check the labels before injecting him with a potentially lethal medication, and that Harlan was a damned heartless POS for cutting off his entire family without a word... Phase 5: You realize that the grandson did LITERALLY nothing wrong, and the whole family still hates him for some reason...
this is one of those movies that is 100% solvable with the clues left behind by the director but the outcome is so batshit insane that no one ever would
it's exactly on the thin perfect line of giving enough evidence to piece it together but doing it in a way that noone really can, so it keeps the audience guessing till the very end..
The part of Marta’s story that bothered me on my first watch was that the dogs were heard barking, and the dogs don’t bark at Marta. I couldn’t put it all together, but it itched at me the whole movie until the end.
There is such a well done American political allegory that is completely overlooked in the discourse around this film. We have old white elites freaking out over losing control to an immigrant who did the actual work none of them did to inherit. Then there’s Ransom - introduced as an a-hole off the bat, but we and Marta are deceived into thinking he’s enough of a thorn in the side of the elites to be on the side of the working class character, disrupting elite power. But actually he’s the worst of them - he represents the abandoning of the rules they normally play by in order to RETAIN power not actually disrupt it. Who he represents and the political movement he represents becomes self-evident through that lens.
Wow that's a great way of looking at the film, in that sense it kinda shows the extremes (Nazi kid) and the kind (father that pretends to want to take care of her at the start but threatens deporting her mom) all being part of the act to take her down.
Honestly the "only the help calls me Hugh" and later the "Hugh did this" is my favorite part. THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME, but in comparison I thought Glass Onion was very meh. Didn't have the same impact in my opinion.
This movie is so good and my favorite part is the part of the film with Benoit Blanc's coin flip: You're right in your reaction, this was a "Who'd-done-it" film, until Marta's questioning moment, Blanc flips the coin and the movie genre changes, now the viewer knows who the culprit is and is watching them try to avoid getting caught, it also alerts the viewer when they come back to the coin landing back in Blanc's hand that the flashback is over. There's so much subversive storytelling in that one moment and I love all of it lol.
Your reaction at the 32 min mark was so spot on! I was dying in the theater the entire time because the dogs gave it away. In the rundown of the timeline, they mention the dogs barking and waking up Meg. The dogs later bark a tiny bit in excitement over Benoit coming up the path and at Linda getting out of the car, but they go nuts on Ransom. So as soon as he's introduced I had to sit on this annoying feeling where I was CERTAIN he was at fault, I just had no idea HOW.
The funniest part about Marta's Go strategy is that it's actually a perfectly valid one - there's a YT video where a Go...well, he wouldn't call himself an expert, but it's more that he knows his subject very well, even though he's no major player - where a Go "expert" basically tells about the strategy, which is an actual one, and probably one that Go was designed to accommodate.
Fun fact: The guy who read the will is Frank Oz. He was the puppeteer and voice of Yoda and many of the muppets, including Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Animal, Bert, and Cookie Monster. He's also directed some great movies like Death at a Funeral, Little Shop of Horrors, and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
Oh yes, if you overdose on morphine, or other strong narcotics like oxycodone, dilaudid, hydrocodone, etc., through injection, it will only take a few moments to overdose. It's why they they prescribe naloxone to people who are on those medications for extended periods of time, in case of an accidental overdose.
If I were Marta I would continue covering Meg's tuition and that's it. Meg was the only one that seemed genuinely kind to Marta and Harlan hadn't expressed disappointment in her in any of the flashbacks (she didn't know her mom was stealing his money). She even looked distraught when she made the phone call to Marta to ask what she was planning to do, most likely pressured into it by her mother and the others.
It is pretty relevant to the discussion of Meg's character that when faced with a tangible consequence of the inheritance (her schooling), she folded and spilled to her family that Marta's mom was undocumented. I think it would be unwise for Marta to trust or support Meg after that. As a person, I think I'm capable of this same kind of selfishness and cowardice, so Meg gave me a lot to think about.
@@akordiart I agree that she isn't kind, but I'd say she's the most "redeemable" of the group. In Marta's shoes, I'd probably treat her tuition like a scholarship that could be redacted if her GPA dips or something like that. Meg is young and still has a LOT of growing up to do, but the bones are there for her to work through her spoiled privilege and come out as someone decent. Her area of study is in some sort of social studies, so at the very least she's interested in learning about other people, and she's the only Thromby that willingly hangs out with "the help."
@@Hippotigris99 she really reminds me of performative activists who only want to *appear* to be on the side of marginalized people but don't actually care about them and still use their privilege for their own benefit. she might even be the worst of her family because at least everyone else is noticeably selfish so you know not to trust them. with meg, you'd fall for her fake kindness and gestures and then get stabbed in the back. also marta isn't and shouldn't be responsible for her tuition or her GPA. if harlan wanted that, he would have written that in his will.
100mg of morphine is a pretty massive dose, especially as an intravenous bolus. Opioids like morphine are respiratory depressants - meaning that they chemically cause you to breathe less until you become hypoxic and hypercapnic and die from oxygen starvation. Yes this is massively oversimplified and not entirely accurate but it's the bare bones of why you need to be very, very, very careful with opioids like morphine and codeine. Naloxone is a rapid treatment for opioid overdose. So much so that ambulances stock it so it can be given almost as soon as they arrive on scene.
You were much closer to figuring it out than I was when I first watched the movie. It's really interesting to see you pick up on things that I completely missed or forgot about when they call back to details. Other people have already pointed out how great the movie is and it really is. It has such good writing and you really see how much effort was put into it not in just the script but also the cinematography. I love each shot so much. I hope you cover the next movie, glass onion too. It doesn't go over the same cast and has a different vibe but man it's still so entertaining and the mystery in it is great too. Can't wait to binge your other videos lol
Okay, this genuinely might be my favorite movie/TV reaction I’ve ever watched! The way you actually paid such close attention to detail and narrowed in on the true suspect was so fun to watch; I’m so used to reactors missing important details because they’re too busy having big reactions, that it was wonderful seeing this! Also this points to how well-crafted this mystery is, that you were able to connect some dots to logical conclusions while still being surprised and delighted by different twists! They don’t make em like this anymore 😔🙏🏾💖 edit: ps I love your Aran icon! my boy is so underrated by haikyuu fans, it drives me nuts!
This is my first time coming across your channel, but your insight and attention was so fun to watch man! It's so nice to see a reactor so dialed in to the story and actively trying to puzzle things out. Wishing you the absolute best with your other videos and your channel as a whole!
So in Ransom’s plan there would have been a tox screen to determine cause of death. But if it had actually been the accident the swap looked like, Harlan’s suicide would have been the obvious cause of death, and there wouldn’t have been a tox screen. There was only a tox screen despite the obvious cause of death because Ransom got the case reopened by hiring Blanc.
No. He didn't realize when he hired blanc that Marta had switched the medicines back. He only realized after he saw the tox report that Marta did nothing wrong and then had to destroy teh facility to hide it.
@@nobodyqwertyu that doesn’t contradict what I said. Ransom originally wanted a tox screen because he needed Marta to be found responsible even if accidentally and the slayer rule to apply. Because of Harlan’s suicide there was an obvious cause of death so no tox screen, so his plan wasn’t going to work. So he hired Blanc to get the case reopened so there would be a tox screen and Marta would be held responsible. BUT THEN he found out about the swap and realized the tox screen would show no morphine so he burned down the lab, and got to work framing Marta a different way.
A funny fact that i always think of when the movie is brought up is that in the physical DVD version the back of the foil cover is the "Knife-Donut" but if you flip it to the front where all the characters are the hole is on Ransoms Head only. There are even clues outside of the movie but it's still so hard to piece it correctly together. The Perfect Murder Mystery film and one of my favourites overall.
NOT YOU WATCHING MY FAVORITE MOVIE KNIVES OUT!!!! The main thing that pissed me off about this film, especially as a med student, is the fact that if she really gave 100mg Morphine, she should know ON SITE that he would be presenting with morphine overdose symptoms almost immediately after administration. If you LOVE this film, then it’s mandatory for you to watch The Menu, Ready or Not, and Knives Out 2!!! RIP Christopher Plummer ❤❤❤
Also, round of a DAMN plause to Daniel Craig cause, as a Southerner myself, that's a pretty damn good Kentucky Fried Chicken southern accent!! Also, the 16 year old boy is Billy from IT the movie
You are legit one of my fave react channels. It's so funny whenever the background goes to the cards with the red string. As for James Bond films you got 3 options: You can start with Daniel Craig's Casino Royale, Pierce Brosnan's Goldeneye, or go all the way back to Dr No. with Sean Connery. I vote for Casino Royale and the rest of Craig's run, and then go backwards- it'll be an interesting way to view the series. Quality varies, so if there's a must watch: casino royale and Skyfall. And if I may recommend: get suited up for it and have a martini on the side (or water in a fancy glass. Stay hydrated)
Pay attention to the ball and the dog throughout the movie. Spoiler: Richard throws it outside when he finds the "blank" letter. The dog picks it up and Linda puts it back, which leads her to finding the letter at the end.
youtube knows how obsessed i am with this movie and recommended your reaction, loved how engaged you got! the third movie just finished filming, but in the meantime i hope we get to see your reaction to Glass Onion as well :)
I can't wait for your reaction to Glass Onion, the next Benoit Blanc mystery. Also, the TV series Poker Face. If you like this film, you'd LOVE that series
just found this channel with this video and oh man!? you deserve at least 100k subs! really enjoyed your reaction and i had so much fun. the way you pick up on small details, the jokes, the humor, the meme, i really love it. you gain a new sub here!
A warning about Glass Onion: it's not much of a mystery. The murder doesn't take place until halfway through the movie. If you're a fan of Agatha Christie you'll like Glass Onion as an homage to her work, but you'll know exactly who the killer is before the victim is even dead. On the other hand, if your favorite part of Knives Out was the rich people getting screwed over, then you'll love the sequel.
*spoiler for the mystery:* There is mud found on the window sill (where they climb up the trellis). The detail is so precise that in Martha's memory, she never touched the window with her foot (she stepped over it), but Ransom clearly did! He is the one who left the dirt on the window.
Another great comedic whodunit is Clue the Movie, based on the boardgame Clue/Cluedo. But the best part(s) of the movie is the comedic dialogue and physical action/reaction. then there is the sequel to this movie, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Movie, and the forthcoming second sequel, Wake Up Dead Man.
I just recently saw Michael Shannon on the subway in Brooklyn! Very lowkey guy, you’d never know he was famous. This is probably my favorite performance of his
This movie is incredible on every level. There's a really fascinating video I saw on the techniques they used to emulate certain film effects natively with digital cameras, which is a big part of how it manages to look the way it does on "only" a $40M budget.
6:30 Looks like you've never heard those lyrics. In which case, do a reaction to Hamilton. 😄 Love watching people who don't know that much about it or musicals react to it.
You are so smart! I'm not a mystery solver at all lmao. Yes to the Bond endeavor, and I finally watched The Whale recently; if you haven't seen it yet, I would absolutely love to watch it with you KP!!
I think Meg didn’t wanna call Marta because she cares about her, the family made her do it. That’s probably why she ended the call mid conversation, after Marta said she’s gonna take care of her that’s all she gotta know (like paying for he school tuition or smth), she didn’t need Marta to give everything back to the family, that was what her family wanted her to say.
If you haven’t, you should check out the Hercule Poirot movies like murder on the orient express or death on the Nile! They are very much like this one!
@@ScaredyKats Well, when I think of Poirot I see Finney, Ustinov and Suchet. I see a quirky eccentric; peacocky at a high rate, yes, but not a wannabe action hero. With Kenneth Branagh you can clearly see that not his character but he is the peacock. Don't get me wrong, Branagh has always been great at adapting Shakespeare plays for the big screen but in my opinion you can't handle Agatha Christie like Shakespeare. He lacks the instincts to do her books justice and to remove his own vanity from the equation. Also he changed the plots for selfish reasons, which I do not appreciate. And why on earth couldn't he shoot on original locations for the budget he had at his disposal and instead switched to cheap-looking CGI?
I personally believe that Harland knew she didn’t mix up the vials but also knew his end was coming soon no matter what and so decided to go out on his own terms even if that meant taking his own life though he didn’t know the kind of chaos his passing would cause
My favourite of all time so beautiful honestly if I could get buried and go to knives out heaven I would. Also first time seeing your stuff and if it’s more this vibe I’m so here
Knives Out and See How They Run are my favourite who done it murder mystery movies. If you haven’t watched See How They Run I highly suggest watching that movie, it’s a really fun one that kept my uncle and I guess!!!
KP....I throroughly enjoyed your reaction and interaction with this film..lol... Like you..Daniel Craig's cajun accent was not only crazily adorable..it quite threw me for a loop when he first started speaking..smh hahaha... Yes a stacked cast to be sure..the beauty is this isn't a one and done...I know there is 2nd..Glass Onion.. and I'm struggling to be sure if there's 3 films for his character Benoit Blanc..or perhaps I'm just thinking of the third..Wake Up Dead Man to be released in 2025...however I feel to date this is the best of the franchise..yet it could be because the shock of Daniel being a Louisiana southerner was the last character we were expecting..French yes with his name but not Cajun..lol... Please please finish the franchise..the existing film(s) and the next release...great reaction !... 🌿🌿🌿
if you liked this one, i highly recommend you watch Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery! It's in the same universe as Knives Out but not really a sequel, so you don't need to have seen Knives Out to understand it!
IF YOU START WATCHING JAMES BOND FILMS. Just start with the old ones. They are some of the most comfortable films ever. So entertaining, even when outdated. Don't start with the modern ones, you'll get there. Also Daniel Craig, in this film, speaks with what we Americans call a "southern drawl", and I have to say he is captivating in this.
you would freak out with a series death plot that was LITERALLY everyone killed the villain like two of five put poison on her food and drink, one stab her and run, other push her off the stairs and the last one SHOT her. so the police was like “cause of death.. everything?😅”
Honestly Meg feels like the only character not faking the entire movie. The only time shes antagonistic towards Marta is when her entire family made her. Granted, does make her a coward at that moment but hey, still can see she actually cares for Marta
At first you feel really bad that Harlan died for no reason, but he's so animated in his final moments that you realize this is exactly how he would choose to go. An intricate murder mystery.

ur right except for "so full of their rich white privilege" them being white has nothing to do with it they just don't care.

Yes this is massively oversimplified and not entirely accurate but it's the bare bones of why you need to be very, very, very careful with opioids like morphine and codeine. Naloxone is a rapid treatment for opioid overdose. So much so that ambulances stock it so it can be given almost as soon as they arrive on scene.
You were much closer to figuring it out than I was when I first watched the movie. It's really interesting to see you pick up on things that I completely missed or forgot about when they call back to details. Other people have already pointed out how great the movie is and it really is. It has such good writing and you really see how much effort was put into it not in just the script but also the cinematography. I love each shot so much. I hope you cover the next movie, glass onion too. It doesn't go over the same cast and has a different vibe but man it's still so entertaining and the mystery in it is great too. Can't wait to binge your other videos lol
Okay, this genuinely might be my favorite movie/TV reaction I’ve ever watched! The way you actually paid such close attention to detail and narrowed in on the true suspect was so fun to watch; I’m so used to reactors missing important details because they’re too busy having big reactions, that it was wonderful seeing this! Also this points to how well-crafted this mystery is, that you were able to connect some dots to logical conclusions while still being surprised and delighted by different twists! They don’t make em like this anymore 😔🙏🏾💖
edit: ps I love your Aran icon! my boy is so underrated by haikyuu fans, it drives me nuts!
This is my first time coming across your channel, but your insight and attention was so fun to watch man! It's so nice to see a reactor so dialed in to the story and actively trying to puzzle things out. Wishing you the absolute best with your other videos and your channel as a whole!
So in Ransom’s plan there would have been a tox screen to determine cause of death.
But if it had actually been the accident the swap looked like, Harlan’s suicide would have been the obvious cause of death, and there wouldn’t have been a tox screen.
There was only a tox screen despite the obvious cause of death because Ransom got the case reopened by hiring Blanc.
No. He didn't realize when he hired blanc that Marta had switched the medicines back. He only realized after he saw the tox report that Marta did nothing wrong and then had to destroy teh facility to hide it.
@@nobodyqwertyu that doesn’t contradict what I said.
Ransom originally wanted a tox screen because he needed Marta to be found responsible even if accidentally and the slayer rule to apply.
Because of Harlan’s suicide there was an obvious cause of death so no tox screen, so his plan wasn’t going to work.
So he hired Blanc to get the case reopened so there would be a tox screen and Marta would be held responsible.
BUT THEN he found out about the swap and realized the tox screen would show no morphine so he burned down the lab, and got to work framing Marta a different way.
A funny fact that i always think of when the movie is brought up is that in the physical DVD version the back of the foil cover is the "Knife-Donut" but if you flip it to the front where all the characters are the hole is on Ransoms Head only. There are even clues outside of the movie but it's still so hard to piece it correctly together. The Perfect Murder Mystery film and one of my favourites overall.
Just found this on my timeline, you are very entertaining. I loved the video. Subscribed 😊
33:03 Dude.... hats off 👏 You're the closest I've ever seen anyone get to figuring it out
NOT YOU WATCHING MY FAVORITE MOVIE KNIVES OUT!!!! The main thing that pissed me off about this film, especially as a med student, is the fact that if she really gave 100mg Morphine, she should know ON SITE that he would be presenting with morphine overdose symptoms almost immediately after administration. If you LOVE this film, then it’s mandatory for you to watch The Menu, Ready or Not, and Knives Out 2!!! RIP Christopher Plummer ❤❤❤
Also, round of a DAMN plause to Daniel Craig cause, as a Southerner myself, that's a pretty damn good Kentucky Fried Chicken southern accent!! Also, the 16 year old boy is Billy from IT the movie
You are legit one of my fave react channels. It's so funny whenever the background goes to the cards with the red string.
As for James Bond films you got 3 options:
You can start with Daniel Craig's Casino Royale, Pierce Brosnan's Goldeneye, or go all the way back to Dr No. with Sean Connery.
I vote for Casino Royale and the rest of Craig's run, and then go backwards- it'll be an interesting way to view the series. Quality varies, so if there's a must watch: casino royale and Skyfall.
And if I may recommend: get suited up for it and have a martini on the side (or water in a fancy glass. Stay hydrated)
I vote at least the Brosnan run first, just because Skyfall hits different when you have more of the characters' history to connect it to.
Pay attention to the ball and the dog throughout the movie.
Spoiler:
Richard throws it outside when he finds the "blank" letter. The dog picks it up and Linda puts it back, which leads her to finding the letter at the end.
youtube knows how obsessed i am with this movie and recommended your reaction, loved how engaged you got! the third movie just finished filming, but in the meantime i hope we get to see your reaction to Glass Onion as well :)
Just wanted to say, this is the first video I have seen from you and wow, It was so much fun seeing your reaction and analysis. Keep it up!
Hey man, just want to really compliment your editing on the video. Fantastic work.
This is the funniest reaction I’ve seen in ages
Iconic video tbh, you did such a good job keeping track of all of the little clues and details!!
Ryan Gosling actually is the voice you hear in the very beginning in martas house on TV.
I can't wait for your reaction to Glass Onion, the next Benoit Blanc mystery.
Also, the TV series Poker Face. If you like this film, you'd LOVE that series
seconding Poker Face! i haven’t seen any reactors take that on yet, which is a shame because it’s really a lot of fun
@jaijais I know right?
Oh my goddddddd I love Poker Face
@arbyswitch5580 I'm chomping at the bit for season 2, which I'm pretty sure is in production!
30:16 That reaction had me HOWLING 😂
just found this channel with this video and oh man!? you deserve at least 100k subs! really enjoyed your reaction and i had so much fun. the way you pick up on small details, the jokes, the humor, the meme, i really love it. you gain a new sub here!
This is one of my favourite movies and you were so enjoyable to watch. Every time you picked up on a clue I was like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is literally one of my favourite reactions on this site ☺️ will be subscribing 🎉
You got very close, really paid attention and have an excellent memory! Congrats on calling it on a hunch, even if you didn't know everything.
A warning about Glass Onion: it's not much of a mystery.
The murder doesn't take place until halfway through the movie. If you're a fan of Agatha Christie you'll like Glass Onion as an homage to her work, but you'll know exactly who the killer is before the victim is even dead.
On the other hand, if your favorite part of Knives Out was the rich people getting screwed over, then you'll love the sequel.
Well... a lot of this comment isn't correct about the timeline of the film
Like I get what you mean, but let Kp make up his own mind
*spoiler for the mystery:*
There is mud found on the window sill (where they climb up the trellis). The detail is so precise that in Martha's memory, she never touched the window with her foot (she stepped over it), but Ransom clearly did! He is the one who left the dirt on the window.
I love this moovie so much, its my comfort piece, glad you enjoyed it
I loved your reaction on this movie :) Loved how you were invested and tried to figure it out!
Another great comedic whodunit is Clue the Movie, based on the boardgame Clue/Cluedo. But the best part(s) of the movie is the comedic dialogue and physical action/reaction. then there is the sequel to this movie, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Movie, and the forthcoming second sequel, Wake Up Dead Man.
Knives out is one of those films that not only flips genres and brilliant but you can watch it again and find clues you missed
I just recently saw Michael Shannon on the subway in Brooklyn! Very lowkey guy, you’d never know he was famous. This is probably my favorite performance of his
I love this film but as anurse I have to turn my brain off. Because there is no way 100mg of toradol is the same volume as 100mg of morphine.
My mom had to do the same 🤣
I am very impressed how close you kept to unravelling the mystery
Getting a pen and a paper was actually the best thing you could’ve done. Wish I had thought of this the first time I watched.
I really like how you try and think about the movie to solve it with whatever information you get presented. I will be over again. Have my sub
This movie is incredible on every level. There's a really fascinating video I saw on the techniques they used to emulate certain film effects natively with digital cameras, which is a big part of how it manages to look the way it does on "only" a $40M budget.
The way the whole cast is clearly having fun working in this movie makes everything even better 😂
"The plots just come into his head fully formed"
hits a lot different once you realize that's exactly how he planned his death and Marta's cover-up
Love your video, was really fun to watch, and I just watched the movie today so it’s crazy that I stumbled onto your video
definitely should also watch the glass onion (and movies like murder on the orient express and death on the nile, they have the same vibe)
6:30 Looks like you've never heard those lyrics. In which case, do a reaction to Hamilton. 😄 Love watching people who don't know that much about it or musicals react to it.
The seriousness with which you said "donut-ception" is killing me 😭
i loved this movie so much and watching you react to it is so much fun!
You are so smart! I'm not a mystery solver at all lmao.
Yes to the Bond endeavor, and I finally watched The Whale recently; if you haven't seen it yet, I would absolutely love to watch it with you KP!!
LOVE TRANSFORMATIVE CONTENT WOO GREAT WORK
Whoa you're smart, i never catch any of these things!! I loved how close attention you paid
I think I can speak on behalf of everyone when I say: we NEED those James Bond movies reactions. Thank you.
I think Meg didn’t wanna call Marta because she cares about her, the family made her do it. That’s probably why she ended the call mid conversation, after Marta said she’s gonna take care of her that’s all she gotta know (like paying for he school tuition or smth), she didn’t need Marta to give everything back to the family, that was what her family wanted her to say.
I really love ransom. Such a great character.
If you haven’t, you should check out the Hercule Poirot movies like murder on the orient express or death on the Nile! They are very much like this one!
Yes, but first and foremost the ones from 1974 and 1978 respectively. Kenneth Branagh's pathetic versions, if at all, can wait.
@ I enjoyed them a lot. I think he did a wonderful version of poirot.
@@ScaredyKats Well, when I think of Poirot I see Finney, Ustinov and Suchet. I see a quirky eccentric; peacocky at a high rate, yes, but not a wannabe action hero.
With Kenneth Branagh you can clearly see that not his character but he is the peacock.
Don't get me wrong, Branagh has always been great at adapting Shakespeare plays for the big screen but in my opinion you can't handle Agatha Christie like Shakespeare.
He lacks the instincts to do her books justice and to remove his own vanity from the equation.
Also he changed the plots for selfish reasons, which I do not appreciate.
And why on earth couldn't he shoot on original locations for the budget he had at his disposal and instead switched to cheap-looking CGI?
@@tubekulose ok? That’s your opinion.
@@ScaredyKats 50% of what I wrote might just be my opinion. The other 50% are facts. 🙂
I love how during most of the movie the picture of Harlan is frowning, but when Marta is cleared and she has the money he's smiling
I only watched this movie once but I completely forgot how unbelievably stacked this cast is
I personally believe that Harland knew she didn’t mix up the vials but also knew his end was coming soon no matter what and so decided to go out on his own terms even if that meant taking his own life though he didn’t know the kind of chaos his passing would cause
"There was a hole in my donut too!" ahaha lmao that tickled me
This is what made me fall in love with Ana de Armas, even with all of the vomit.
this was such a fun reaction video! i hope you'll watch glass onion too!
32:40
in my first watch too I was thinking Ransom did it somehow but could never piece it together on how he could've done it.
My favourite of all time so beautiful honestly if I could get buried and go to knives out heaven I would. Also first time seeing your stuff and if it’s more this vibe I’m so here
The first time I actually see someone figure it out. Good stuff
Knives Out and See How They Run are my favourite who done it murder mystery movies. If you haven’t watched See How They Run I highly suggest watching that movie, it’s a really fun one that kept my uncle and I guess!!!
So now you need to see if you can figure out the sequel, Glass Onion.
Watch Glass Onion next!
Your observation and recall are impressive, especially throughout the Harry Potter movies
Great reaction ❤😊
Now you gotta watch the sequel
Great video and smart deduction
KP....I throroughly enjoyed your reaction and interaction with this film..lol...
Like you..Daniel Craig's cajun accent was not only crazily adorable..it quite threw me for a loop when he first started speaking..smh hahaha...
Yes a stacked cast to be sure..the beauty is this isn't a one and done...I know there is 2nd..Glass Onion.. and I'm struggling to be sure if there's 3 films for his character Benoit Blanc..or perhaps I'm just thinking of the third..Wake Up Dead Man to be released in 2025...however I feel to date this is the best of the franchise..yet it could be because the shock of Daniel being a Louisiana southerner was the last character we were expecting..French yes with his name but not Cajun..lol...
Please please finish the franchise..the existing film(s) and the next release...great reaction !...
🌿🌿🌿
youtube alogrythm gave me this gem, loved the vid, entertaining watching you figure out almost everything before it happened. Peace dude!
if you liked this one, i highly recommend you watch Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery! It's in the same universe as Knives Out but not really a sequel, so you don't need to have seen Knives Out to understand it!
IF YOU START WATCHING JAMES BOND FILMS. Just start with the old ones. They are some of the most comfortable films ever. So entertaining, even when outdated. Don't start with the modern ones, you'll get there.
Also Daniel Craig, in this film, speaks with what we Americans call a "southern drawl", and I have to say he is captivating in this.
you would freak out with a series death plot that was LITERALLY everyone killed the villain like two of five put poison on her food and drink, one stab her and run, other push her off the stairs and the last one SHOT her. so the police was like “cause of death.. everything?😅”
you'll take an honest WHAT?! I spat my coffee lmao
Omg please do this for knives out 2 ! Loved this video 😊
I LOVE the Knives Out films. They are so my vibe. I live for them. I also have never seen a James Bond film. lol.
Great reaction! Looking forward to you reacting to Glass Onion!
29:29 this is so good😂
Honestly Meg feels like the only character not faking the entire movie. The only time shes antagonistic towards Marta is when her entire family made her. Granted, does make her a coward at that moment but hey, still can see she actually cares for Marta
The only thing Harlan's family was guilty of was being spoiled and greedy
I never noticed her mug said “my house my rules”
Based on your reactions to this, it would be awesome to see you watch the newer Murder on the Orient Express (2017)!
