Blanc is very bad at dumb things, so since Miles' murdering Andi was so dumb, that Blanc didn't suspect him at first. He expected Miles to be more complex than that. But nope. That's Blanc's Achilles' Heel. That's why he solved the murder mystery game so quickly. It was written by Gillian Flynn, a very good mystery writer, so it was a walk in the park for him. Puzzles and games are too easy for him. And the Clue board game and Among Us are nothing like how a real mystery is done, so that's why he sees them as terrible games. It's so dumb, he's very bad at it. It's too simple.
Blanc is the embodiment of overthinking it.
Ooooo, the Gillian Flynn flew over my head. It felt kinda disrespectful when he solved it so quickly, but your interpretation makes sense, and feels more adequate.
That's funny too cause he felt so invigorated by solving the "good" fake mystery, and so bummed out after solving the "bad" real mystery... Although everything Benoit Blanc does in the first half has to be taken with a grain of salt since he's putting on an act as well, pretending he was invited and whatnot. So who knows if he really enjoyed solving the fake mystery or not but I like to believe he did.
@@lashier13 He said puzzles and games are like a vacation. So he liked it, but it didn't fill the void he had. Not even this real mystery he was just so upset after learning how unoriginal and dumb it all was. He needed danger, a hunt, a great case. He expected complexity, but he got a Glass Onion.
@@lashier13 Well also, the murder mystery game that was put together for the weekend was just to have fun & nobody was getting hurt. The actual murder mystery was a real murder where several people died.
@@DAMIENDMILLS *cue music*
I love the fact that, at the end, when the whole empire is burning down (as Andi promised she would make happen in her email, and which Helen accomplished), Blanc isn't even in the house. He's just outside, chilling with Derol (and yes, apparently it's spelled Derol), watching things play out and just thoroughly enjoying himself. Like he told Helen, he's not Batman. All he could do was tell her what happened, and why, and couldn't do anything beyond that. He sure wasn't lying.
Did you know that 'Derol' is played by the same guy as 'Trooper Wagner' in the first movie?
Yep! I didn’t at first but once I read it, I could see it immediately. Also: the voice that does the hourly don’t is Joe Gordon-Levitt.
Joseph Gordon Levitt was the voice of the DONG. He has a cameo in every Rian Johnson movie so it's fun to find out where he is.
Is Rian Johnson trying to tell us something about his relationship with Joseph by making him the the sound of the _dong_ ?
@@pistonburner6448maybe you can join them with your piston
I noticed something here. He said he was planning on saying something dramatic at 10 o'clock but he would have been dead by that time because the crossbow was to go off at dinner. So it points to the idea being implemented at the last minute.
Enh, I figured the script _could_ have had twists after the (first?) murder. It was supposed to be a weekend-long game, so throwing in more plot developments....
@@wwoods66 ahhh but I don't want to be wrong... soooooo
*Puts up Anti-Plothole Shield*
@@viwererschoice4454 Well, according to Blanc's explanation afterwards, you're _not_ wrong.
But at the time it happened, I was just, "okay, more stuff's happening."
@@wwoods66 oh absolutely I agree. I was just poorly using sarcasm... my native language.
He would have been dead for the murder mystery, but he said he would still be interesting with his friends. He wanted to entertain and be entertaining, not "be dead the whole weekend".
You were correct Mr. Movies, Angela Lansbury did pass away this past October, R.I.P. I think I may like this one more than the first film. Janelle Monae did an excellent job playing both sisters!🏆Great reactions to this very fun murder mystery, Kids!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Stephen Sondheim was also in that scene.
@@tremorsfan And Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. And Natasha Lyonne.
rest in peace to Angela lansbury aka Jessica Fletcher from murder she wrote (1984-1996) one of my all times mid 80s and 90s tv drama series and it's 4 tv movies from 1997-2003
Right above her in the chat was Stephen Sondheim who died a year before her.
@@misterkite I know I heard about him
Have they solved her murder yet?
Go back and check out when Helen is running towards him before she got shot. He called her by her name, not her sister's name. 😉
The baby interruption was so precious. I could not stop laughing. 💛
I was actually trying to remember what movie y'all were watching the first time I saw the baby, and SHE APPEARED.
Just a note about the security system at 23:20 One office I worked in had security sensors intended to go off if someone broke a window. Problem is, it detected sound, and would only go off if the noise was both loud and sudden. So music would be no problem; a speech would be no problem; but the applause reacting to the speech would. At one point someone opened a can of NOS energy drink, and just the knock on the table from the carbonation was enough to set it off. :/
Such a fun movie. Really pleased that they did something so fresh, not just a retread of the original (which I also love).
It really is kind of great how Rian Johnson, a writer/director famous for subverting expectations, subverted expectations with his own created world. The whole "glass onion" metaphor really is apt. I was watching a video the other day breaking it all down, and you'd never expect a red herring to be the actual killer, because it's just so obvious that it's dumb, and that's exactly why Blanc doesn't immediately figure it out. It's all just too obvious and stupid, and Blanc just assumed it'd be something more clever and intricate. It wasn't. It was just dumb, and that's precisely why he couldn't figure it out, because he wasn't expecting the answer to be in plain sight the whole time.
@@JeffKelly03 I love that is not just a twist, but it is one that makes sense.
A murderer would have to be stupid and unimaginative to commit a murder of which he himself would be the primary suspect, and it is only after concluding that yep, Milles is THAT dumb, he can solve the mystery.
He needed that clue, that we were presented to with him.
So it DOES subvert the expectation, but remains absolutely loyal to the traditional rules of a good murder mystery.
Unlike some other stories that subvert expectations by doing random stuff that comes out of nowhere.
@@edisonlima4647 100% agreed. And I can't wait to see what Rian and Craig do with the next Benoit Blanc mystery.
(At the end) "Mona Lisa's smile," nice catch. I wouldn't have realized that.
I love your editing because you always include the best parts. One of the few reaction channel that does
I was actually a little bummed that Benoit's explanation of the murder mystery was cut entirely.
I think my favorite detail about Miles being dumb is the branding of the company Alpha on their robes is the Omega symbol.
I actually agree with Rian Johnson for not wanting to put A Knives Out Mystery. We shouldn't have to dumb down stuff for people. Just put the title and tell people that these characters are in it, making it a sequel. Books do it all the time.
Agreed. I kinda wish that, if they needed to add something, they'd have gone with "A Benoit Blanc Mystery" instead because throwing "Knives Out" in there just makes no sense for this movie. If you're gonna create a world around the detective, lean into it.
I agree that that would be ideal, but I also see why they did it the way they did it. It doesn't really matter though.
I always thought it was called “Glass Onion”. I didn’t see the added title in front until later on down the line. I still question why that’s there because I feel like it’s known it’s in the “Knives Out” universe. Not the same but different.
It's not about dumbing it down, putting it in the title let's people that might be interested know right away. There are so many entertainment options it would be easy to miss when scroll through one of many streaming services. "Branding" is a thing for a reason
Was just gonna say the same, ‘A Benoit Blanc Mystery’ does serve it much better, though I get why they advertised it publicly as ‘A Knives Out Mystery’ but the titles on the movie’s credit thankfully is where they drew the line and just called it Glass Onion. Hopefully, if it ever gets released on disc, it’ll just be Glass Onion, it’ll be a while off if they do, but by that time it’ll be well known what it is and not need the sub-title
Duke's mom was Great! Not enough of her. Actor Jackie Hoffman. She was in the Joan Crawford Bette Davis show Feud. She's been on Broadway.
Kathryn Hahn is always great.
I loved Duke's mom!
She’s inheriting the Twitch money!!!
I think she's in Only Murders in the Building as well. If she's the person I'm thinking of, she's great in that too.
And no, I can't be bothered to look it up to verify. 😅
Joseph Gordon Levitt had been a part of all of Rian Johnson movies in one way or another and in this he voiced the hourly gong.
Ed Norton could say he was the last living person to see the Mona Lisa - that's something no?
And he's a descent from Pocahontas
You're one of the few reactors who figured out that he handed her the hydrogen. Good on you! This was such a great movie, I can't wait for the next showing of Benoit Blanc!
The Mrs is too smart. She nailed it the moment the phone showed Cassandra's death on the news.
He was actually dressed as the scammer Elizabeth Holmes whilst holding the napkin, its basically a copy of the photograph she's in, holding the drop of blood. Its amazing the little hidden details. Showing how much of a liar Miles is :)
To be fair, Elizabeth Holmes was dressing as Steve Jobs, because, thanks to Jobs, wearing the black turtleneck sweater had become shorthand for being a genius, despite the fact that neither Holmes or Jobs were geniuses. It also helps to highlight just how Miles has never had an original thought in his life,
@@ravensbreedsmyth1367 This reminds me of the first episode of The Closer.
Since I started seeing you guys, your movie reaction videos never stop making my days nicer, so that's why I always try not to miss what you upload on TH-cam. A few days ago, I watched the movie and, I found it fantastic. Moreover, lately I've been watching movies without English subtitles thanks to your videos, which is better for me because I'm studying to become an English translator, so I'm going on the right way. Thank you guys for making me watch this film again, but without subtitles LOL.
You are so good at solving mysteries!!! You always see things before I do 🧐
Helen was my favorite character. Before I didn't know who was going to kill Miles, then I knew he killed Duke cause I saw him hand him the glass, then I thought Duke killed Andi and that was why Miles killed him.
Yeah. I loved them both. When Knives Out came out on DVD, I snatched it up in a heartbeat. I can't wait for Glass Onion to come out for purchase. I'll do the same.
Blu-Ray is good, DVD is better, but true fans have it on FAX
It tickles me silly and is always a shocker that he's always looking so smart and intelligent.... Yet it then it's actually HER who is the Brain's!!!! LOVE u Both and the wonderful reactions you keep Gifting us all with, Keep it up!!!!! Can you react to "your highness" and\or "Land of the Lost" both with Danny McBride?!?! Plz n thx!!!!
even burning the original napkin wasn't miles' own idea xD he got it from lionel who asked "after all that you still kept it? you didn't burn it or anything?" when they found out miles had just hidden it :D
13:45: "... cause we watched her destroy her box, right?" I would say, YEAH! LOL!
the crowd applause for when ur kid came in is so funny please do it every time
There were quite a few easter eggs and cameos in this film. My favorite tidbit, that I only found out about recently, is that the painting of Miles seen at the 37:10 mark had Edward Norton's face on Brad Pitt's "Fight Club" body.
Raising Arizona
This movie was so much fun
As Blanc says, Bron would have to be completely dumb to murder Andi himself after getting involved into a notorious public trial against her. It would make no sense unless...
Cue in Blanc super annoyed by the reveal that Bron is, INDEED, an idiot! Lol
And Blanc's reaction, "No! It's just dumb!" and looking exasperated cracks me up so much.
To be fair, he did apparently pull it off as Andi's death was strongly suspected to be suicide.
@@kevjohn2006 We are never told what the police investigation concluded. An investigation should have revealed the email Andi sent and made it highly suspicious that she would then kill herself a few hours later. Would Duke keep his mouth shut about seeing Miles if questioned by the police? Was Miles very distinctive car spotted by the neighbors or recorded on security footage?
@@przemekkozlowski7835 Especially since Miles' car is a one of a kind and goes wherever he goes.
You wouldn’t know about her hair before hand because she was wearing something covering it, which was of course intentional.
One thing missing from this movie that I wish they had was during the scene of a start where hes playing that game online with people if Marta was 1 of the people
If you're wondering more about why Blanc was playing Among Us with those particular four people: Angela Lansbury is obvious, of course, and Murder: She Wrote was even used in Knives Out. Stephen Sondheim co-wrote the murder mystery that most directly inspired Glass Onion. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, on top of being, y'know, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, is a Sherlock Holmes expert and has written a number of Mycroft Holmes novels. And Natasha Lyonne is starring in Rian Johnson's next project, a detective/mystery series called Poker Face.
The murder mystery that Sondheim co-wrote (with Anthony Perkins, aka Norman Bates of PSYCHO) is called THE LAST OF SHEILA and is also a fantastic whodunnit. I hope you'll react to it at some point. Great 1970s-era cast in a beautiful Mediterranean setting, and full of clever clues as to who the killer is.
Mrs. on the roll with her guesses. I didn't even remember what he was allergic to
"And Then There Were None" (which might be one of the influences on this one) and "See How They Run" are both good.
I enjoyed it, but I preferred the first one more. Looking forward to the next one though 👍🏻
42:19 I just realized that Birdie called her Andie twice and then called her Helen
Just in case it wasn't clear, later blanc hears what that captain on the boat called the dock and he understands that the guy was trying to speak in English: "Piece of Shit"
That was Leroy, not Blanc.
@@przemekkozlowski7835 yeah I realized afterwards thanks for the correction.
Great movie. Even better than the first one.
Dr. Disrespect is a character, Duke is Joe Rogan
I love Blanc. He’s super smart without being an asshole like BBC Sherlock.
Helen was my favorite character. I think i thought it was Myles was going to be the bad guy soon after they got to the island. I haven't seen the first Knives out yet so i can't compare them.
Can see why Mr Movies identifies with Duke. Must have felt like he was staring at a mirror…. 😂
Nice cameo from Hugh Grant as Blanc's husband.
If you like puzzles, then there are some youtube channels that are posting videos with different kinds of puzzles: small boxes (like that one in the movie), huge ones as big as desk or wardrobe, etc.
So my sacred shakra is my nether regions is this why I'm single?! Hahaha
If you play back the movie you can see him give him the glass. It's like in the movie Knives Out with the footprint on the windowsill. When you play it back, you see Marta step over it, not on it. So it couldn't have been her, but you dont think about small things like that.
You can see it, at 23:12.
@@wwoods66 Yeah. I'm just saying that when you're watching the movie the first time you don't pick up on it and just gloss over it. I'm paying extra attention when I watch the next Benoit Blanc Mystery lol.
One of my favorite murder mystery movies was the 1982 "Deathtrap" with Micheal Caine and Christopher Reeves.
29:00 : Frank T.J. Mackey (Tom Cruise) outfit from Magnolia
Hi, love both of your reactions. I've watched your TEAM AMERICA reaction 4 times, it's hilarious just laughing with both of you. Sorry if this seems kinda random, but there are three movies that you should be sure to watch the Theatrical Cut and not the Director's Cut: I Am Legend and The Butterfly Effect and Stephen King's 1408. No spoilers here, but the Director's Cuts for all 3 movies tested very poorly with audiences. So, powers-that-be had reshoots for all 3 movies and created extremely different endings. All 3 movies were released in the 2000s in 2-Disc DVD sets, with both versions. BUT, when the movies were initially released onto streaming services, only the Director's Cuts were available. Over the years, all 3 had the theatrical releases included on streaming services, but in my opinion, the damage was already done, because the 3 movies became known as having poor endings for the 1st decade of people who exclusively watched movies by streaming them. The 3 Theatrical Cuts are all very good movies, worth your reaction or viewing. I hope you found this information useful.
there are 7 mona lisas which is the original, the only way you know is that da vinci painted a previous woman on the canvas before the mona lisa was painted over the original
Of course, the real Mona Lisa was painted on canvas stretched on wood, not just canvas. So the one Miles had...was probably not the original. Also, the guitar wasn't actually Paul McCartney's, because Paul McCartney is left-handed. This is intentional. Miles Bron is an idiot who buys things that aren't real because he's too stupid to know the difference.
@@snorpenbass4196 i know that the film was okay , but not as good as the first one more of a comedy to be honest
but i let it pass ,but i would not watch it again
It should have been called Glass Onion: A Benoit Blanc Mystery
😂😂😂 my life… my 2 yr old always wanna interrupt my streaming when he’s supposed to be sleep
"You're Welcome!" lol
Another great murder mystery movie you guys can watch and love "Murder on the orient express".
Watch the one with Albert Finney or the one with David Suchet.
Loved the reaction! If you love murder mysteries, watch either Bodies Bodies Bodies or Last of Shiela next, please i beg!
A few things I love about the film
1. Throughout the film they show hints that miles is a fraud and an idiot
He tells blanc that he had someone else design the boxes and the murder mystery for him,
Miles's dock is useless outside of high tide
He keeps his car on the roof rather than parked on the ground cause he thinks if he can't drive it, it doesn't need to be there
He never thought to burn or detour the napkin until Lionel mentions it etc.
2. A glass onion is an allegory for something that seems layered but is simple and see through like miles
3. Helen wears her hair to the opposite side Andi did
She also tells the group "My life was taken, by everyone here, my life!"
She knows her sister was killed and ruined by the group.
Etc.
A great mystery film involving murder you should check out is "LA Confidential". Not just a murder mystery and done extremely well.
The one thing that's been bothering me is, How much is their witness testimony worth, given that they've already all perjured themselves?
The most random thing is the fight club portrait
You guys have the cutest Technical difficulties XD
Honestly I liked this movie better than the first.
Me too.
such a good one! since y’all like murder mysteries you should watch “See How They Run”. just came out this last year!
Blanc is French for white, which is a character in the game Clue. How ironic.
i’d love to see what you’d think of Bones and All (2022).
Cool movie. Oh, hello Agnatha Harkness. Nice reaction.
A Knives Out Mystery
The 2019 original Knives Out and the 2022 sequel Glass Onion are rewatchable films. Unlike other movies in the “whodunit” (murder) genre, the reveals enhanced rewatch experience as subtle clues became obvious.
The director (Rian Johnson) is a master of expectation subversion and misdirection, as he made a distinctly different sequel in the same universe. Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is the only returning character anchoring both movies.
The first movie was set in a stuffy New England house of a patriarch and his dysfunctional family (old money-ish).
The sequel was set on a private Greek island of a tech billionaire surrounded by his inner circle of “disrupters” (new money-ish).
The first movie is better (in my opinion), but the second is a worthy sequel - more transparent (glass), more layered (onion), and more fun (island).
I know I had subscribed to you guys and then I see this video and realize I haven’t see anything of yours in a while and I realize that I’m not subscribed !!! But I know I did! TH-cam definitely has removed my subscription from other channels before
Really enjoy this period it's both formulate and inventive. Ryan does lean Little heavily on the placement of his flashbacks to mislead that it becomes obvious that he is misleading you with them . The twin twist was the only surprise and even that has been done before period the whole thing of a party invite people over who might want to have a chance to kill you and then it turns out that you are the one trying to kill them again very formulate but In an inventive And entertaining way
An extra cameo: Joseph Gordon Levitt was the one saying, "DONG"
Your kid was a jump scare, holy crap!
I was hoping it was Blanc just because I wanted it to be him
I love how wrong I was lol. For some reason, I thought it was going to be one of those "and it was all a dream/hallucination" after seeing their "throat spray" montage lol.
I liked this little more, but It may he cast, bc I really like actors here... Hmm..
But I agree the are fir me quiet at the same level, very goid movies, fun to watch and interesting.
I like movies like this bc there is something going, you think bc you want to find yourself answer but also you enjoy a raid, but also they are not heavy even tho they are about murder, etc.
That is why I also like films about haist and crime series.
That is why my favorite francise is Ocean's movies. They have all. The best cast in the world, great mystery, casinos, haist, and a lot of humor.
*this was way betr than expected. tho twins are always a dbl swap, & a partner is comn.* except i guessed wrong, and it wasnt? but only this one time. but gd. _JC
I walked out of the room for like 30 SECONDS and then I hear the applause and realize that you're youngest daughter has probably made an appearance and I was right. 😄
I think that Glass Onion was as good as, but more fun, than Knives Out.
If you wanted to get the Misses into an anime Case Closed/Detective Conan would be good one for her to watch a season of it. There's over 1000 episodes and it's been on since 1996. After a while it becomes a little to formulaic but a single season every few years is a decent way to watch it. I really don't hear anybody bring it up ever but it's consistently good and is truly a Sherlock Holmes style murder mystery series.
4:47 I’m sorry but when the little girl came in I was like “Ahhh it’s chucky!”😭
Hugh Grant !
I did suspect that Miles Bron had lured them all there to kill them all
Yo-Yo Ma
Damn! Kate Hudson still got it #Smokeshow
Such a high-tech house and it has no surveillance cameras?
Can't wait to see ur guys's reaction I hope y'all like it
Disruption Theory BTW isn't really a theorem that promotes long-lasting business. Only 6% of "Disrupters" survive and basically only through other business making the mistake of buying them out. Usually they are beaten out by more stable business coopting their "Disruption" and improving on it, making it good for the market but basically the lottery level of good monetary policy on the "Disrupters" side of things.
A positive example is the Iphone, Apple in general kept up daily activities as they were but rolled out an experimental innovation based on nearly 30 year old tech that was finally viable (touchscreens). This allowed them to "Disrupt" the market of button phones with barely functional screens with little disruption to themselves.
If they had instead had a lot less starting capital and rolled out a single innovation instead of a device which broke the mold then their competition would have just one upped them and pushed them out or at best bought them out for patents. (which Apple didn't have since the touch screen and everything else in the Iphone 1 was really old tech just put together with new much faster chipsets in great ways)
This is the second of the trilogy. I believe the first one came out in 2019. Reaction to the first one would be great :)
Have you seen the classic Agatha Christies featuring Hercule Poirot? If not it would be great to see them on the channel - no one ever does them. There's the original Murder On the Orient Express from 1974 and Death On the Nile from 1978 - or the remakes from 2017 and 2022. Both the Orient Express films are really good, but in my opinion the 1978 Nile film is much superior to the remake. But anyway, lots of death, lots of speculation, and a great eccentric mind solving the mystery.
The acting in this is so great. I liked the first movie better, but this one was more fun. Each person played their character so well, especially Janelle Monae, Edward Norton and Kate Hudson.
I'm sorry but great mystery is not born of contrivance and coincidence.
The Elon movie. Love it.
Andi isnt dead
have to ask something, did your hubby cut holes in the rim of his cowboy hat to accommodate his headphones. Sorry been bugging me for awhile...lol That's so country
I 💜 & Own Knives Out! I 💓This Movie Also!😱🤢🤯🔫🥰🖥💗
The politician, the scientist, the model and the opportunist had a guilty conscious EXCEPT the TH-camr who was willing to do anything to succeed 🤷😅
Constantly subverting the genre by refusing to play by the rules. Brilliant writing.
How is he going to pull it off a third time?
Solved it in 27 min the ending was entertaining
Blonde Star of the show:)
