Just confirming your thoughts that this is a 2-parter reupload but don't fret, new EGA this...Saturday probably. It's the OG dinosaur movie. Why be coy, it's EGA Jurassic Park!
@CinemaWins Yes, I LOVE Jurassic Park, and it's amazing it took you this long to hit one of the classics! I can't wait! Though I do wish you'd do another classic...it's a bit more niche, but The Princess Bride (based on the book) with Cary Elwes, Robin Wright and more is just *chef's kiss.* It's a classic and I'd love to see you cover it. (Episode 93 of requesting it :P )
I made my mother, who is a nurse of 40+ years, watch this with me. She immediately said during Harlan's death scene that someone switched the meds because he'd be showing symptoms already if she gave him 100mg of morphine. It was pretty cool. So I got to mimic Benoit and say that's because you are a good nurse... 😛
@@josephwilliams1251 Yeah, I kind of dislike how common that trope is, where time is compressed but there's no way for the audience to know that. It feels cheap. And then when you invert it, you can't be sure either way.
I have a theory that Marta is how Harlan got all his info on the family to cut them out. They don't notice her, so they say things in front of her all the time. Then she, being good friends with Harlan, tells him through conversation and he digs deeper or acts on it. If Marta hadn't been a good person and befriended Harlan, the family likely would have gotten away with being themselves and just sucking off Harlan for life.
Nah, Harlan set them all against each other from since they were kids. He made everything a competition for his approval and I don't think he was a very approving sort. I think he cut them all out because none of them bested him. Remember Marta could beat him, even if it was by making pretty patterns and because she didn't buy into his BS and was nice no matter what he did she won.
Fun fact, ransom's sweater is riducolously expensive but has holes in it, not only showing his wasteful money use and also the fact that he's is sturggling to keep up wiht his lifestyle.
I didn't see it as him struggling to keep up with the lifestyle, but rather that he so disrespects all his possessions and inherited wealth because he's never worked for anything that he literally doesn't care about taking care of things. Why take care of something (which takes work) that means nothing to you?
@@marshallc6215 I only saw it as him struggling because he would have replaced it, his ego and pride wouldn't have let him continue to wear it if he could just get another one
@@cedarmay4245 that's fair. I think what makes it hard to tell which it is, is that we never see Ransom when he's not putting on a performance, so it's hard to say how much of his ego and pride are true vices and how much is him being the heel his family hates just to watch them squirm
8:45 - As someone who has performed CPR for 20 minutes while waiting for an ambulance - it is both no time at all, and forever. And I hope to never have to do it again. Adrenaline will keep you going as long as you need to; then collapse from just *everything* when you're done.
one thing i would like to add is that he would probably still have died even with cpr the problem lies with cpr itself or rather with cpr on old people you see, when you do cpr you have to do chest compressions but on older folk this tends to break ribs, not necessarily because yoi do them wrong or anything just because their bones can't absorb the pressure that well anymore (even with younger people it happens) broken ribs can have devastating results (especially while the chest is being compressed over and over again)
@@clexclex4531While CPR can break ribs on anyone (and more so, I would indeed expect, on older people), it's still preferable to try. Broken ribs are bad but not as bad as lack of oxygen to the brain. And the crackling sound you hear during proper CPR is mostly cartilage, not ribs. The Fire Department Chronicles has a great video discussing some basics and dismantling a few objections to CPR. It's even pretty humorous and thus memorable (I love their videos). And now that they've updated the standards to allow for hands-only CPR (which, from a layman, works as well or sometimes better than trying to figure out the breathing -- the exception being if the cause of passing out was lack of air, like drowning), there's no reason to shy from helping when an emergency arises. Everyone should learn the basics of first aid, because when you need it you don't have time to look it up. P.S. You're right that there's still a high chance of the guy dying; I just wanted to make sure nobody interpreted this as "eh, he's old, it's not even worth it to try."
@@Arkylie i'm very sorry if i made it sound like i didn't approve of chest compression or something like that DO CHEST COMPRESSIONS not doing them is more dangerous to the person than doing them could ever be as to your comment, the cracking sound is cartilage that is correct however what i meant with my comment was not to disregard chest compressions but to mention that what you are hearing is normal doing them and that there are risks which is why no matter what after cpr the person has to go to the hospital fun fact: you should also go to the hospital for any kind of electrical shock (like an electric fence or something like that) because the shock can disrupt your heart rythm have fun if you are a hypochondriac
@@clexclex4531 Very late to this, but whatever- EMT here, and we are taught that we WILL break ribs. In fact, once the ribs are broken, CPR becomes significantly easier. Yes, it sucks for the person who's ribs we just broke, but they're already dead; it's not like their day can get much worse.
Another note on the dogs. Often in whodunit movies, the first thing you see can be a dead giveaway to the culprit. The dogs are the first thing we see and the only one the dogs don't like is Ransom, the first time we see Ransom the dogs bark at him. The whole thing is subtly revealed to the viewer from the very beginning.
The involvement of the dogs actually serves a second purpose which is a further clue for Blanc and the audience that Marta was involved: Harlan's murderer would have needed to escape the house without being seen by the rest of the family, but the dogs never barked again that night ever since Ransom left. This sort of thing is a homage to Sherlock Holmes's "Silver Blaze" where Holmes pulls a near-identical deduction (one of the most popular examples of "Absence of Evidence" in murder mystery literature)
Daniel Craig is actually developing into one of my favorite actors, just for his willingness to make a fool out of himself in his recent roles and appearances. Benoit, his Vodka commercial, and he does it with so much fun and sincerity, it’s really fun to watch
Same here! I've been watching the bond movies with my dad since I was young and loved the Craig ones, but his recent roles have been so wonderful! I watched some SNL skits he was in and his humor was so incredible and he's just having so much fun it's awesome!
Getting Chris Evans to play the bad guy was easily one of the best promotional strategies for a film I've ever seen! People were so used to him playing Captain America, that they went, "No way he can be the bad guy!!!"
Honestly, even while Blanc was explaining everything I was still waiting for some sort of twist where Ransom wasn’t actually the bad guy. That’s how good he was.
I especially loved Chris Evans' performance because, and this isn't saying is performance on its own isn't stellar, I think it would have hit slightly differently if he hadn't just spent a decade as Captain America. Ransom is so very much the antithesis of Steve Rogers that watching that transition makes me all gooey inside.
Missing one Win: When Marta was having a flashback, she was instructed to stop near the Elephant statue. But she couldn't remember before or after. Harlan's voice initially said "Before" then she tried to remember again and the voice changed to "After". Marta tried to remember again and the voice now said "Beafterfore", illustrating the fragility of human memories (something that this movie embraced) And boy, I love Chris Evan's acting here. None of the Captain America vibes came out from him. He was so believable being an a-hole. He's closer to his Jhonny Storm than Cap here.
YEEES I love that details so much, cause it was becoming unbelievable how well she was remembering everything and then... bam. this. and it also adds to the conflict!
I don't think that Rian Johnson is "taking the middle ground" on the politics so much as he's pointing out that rich people tend to pay lip service to whatever ideologies they've latched onto, but will ultimately do whatever they need to maintain their wealth and power. Without spoiling anything, this is a theme he explores even more in Glass Onion (which is absolutely phenomenal, btw).
Agreed. I didn't really vibe with the end of this video at all. To me it's very clear that Rian is making commentary on the rich in modern society. Class is a very common theme in Whoddunits since their inception anyway, and Rian's series plays with this even more. There isn't a middle ground in this film, he's showing the hypocrisy of these people, such as the father stating that illegally immigrating kids is breaking the law and the parents should face those facts, but then later being shown trying to bribe the police despite his son literally committing multiple attempted murders. This wasn't a "there's both sides to the arguement", this was a "this is a side to the arguement but look at the hipocrisy behind it". And the one sister with her more liberal arguments was a clear display of the current state of many rich white liberals who pay lip service without truly understanding, while staying very central in their views in order to maintain power and wealth.
True, except Marta also did whatever she needed to do to maintain her wealth and power within the family before and after the will was read. She even admitted she didn't want to spend a mere 5minutes playing a game with Harlan despite it being his birthday and even if it broke his tradition. She only did it because he was her boss. She was constantly deceiving the family and the detectives for her own selfish reasons. At the end she holds the dead man's coffee cup in front of the recently deceased's family to flex her wealth and power over them.
@@PyroDrewI think this is a very odd read of the movie, especially to say Marta was trying to maintain wealth and power before the will read because she didn’t even know she was in it (and she really didn’t have any wealth or power before it). Her main motivation was just her trying to keep her mother from being deported, not to gain wealth or power in any way. But as soon as people actually start getting hurt because of the whole scenario she confesses to the murder, which doesn’t fit the idea of her doing whatever she needs to for selfish reasons. I also read the game scene between Harlan and Marta differently. I didn’t read it as her refusing to play because she doesn’t care, and only playing because he pays her (she’s just his nurse, she’s not obligated to play with him). It felt more like her refusing because she was tired, but playing anyway because she knew it was important to him and would make him happy. I can’t imagine he’d give her everything he owns if she was just nice to him for his money. As Benoit says, she has a kind heart. (But also oh well, everyone has their own interpretation of things)
@@alexschofield8085 Everyone has their own interpretation and many things are possible... I just don't find Marta's alibi probable. Each of the family member's wealth/income was mostly whatever Harlan gave/paid them when he was alive and the same was true for Marta. After Marta says, "I know you were looking forward to it" to Harlan when Harlan talks about how he "cut the line" on his family "like you (Marta) said". So even according to Marta, Harlan was not only informing her of his major financial decisions, but she was actively influencing Harlan's major financial decisions. That is power and also makes the reading of his will far less surprising. Even according to Marta's alibi, the Go game scene made Marta appear quite lively with her movements, energy and her words (never yawned, never said she was tired, etc). Marta later confessing to manslaughter only sounds selfless if we blindly believe Marta's outrageous alibi. Benoit claimed Marta accidentally gave Harlan the correct medicine subconsciously (via liquid weight, etc) because she's such a "good nurse", but that means it's possible she may have consciously knew (via liquid weight, imperfect label switch, etc). Marta's "confession" means a toxicology report would be done for her trial, but Marta consciously giving Harlan the correct medicine makes any toxicology report only prove her innocence to her "confession". Later Marta is conveniently the one who finds the hidden toxicology report, not the detectives. If Marta's main motivation was keeping her mother from being deported then one would think Marta (clever) or Harlan (with his allegedly long-winded elaborate plan) would have planned for that better. Instead Marta's alibi is Harlan expected a young stressed woman in panic to, with luck, successfully complete his long-winded elaborate deception to fool his entire family and multiple detectives over several days despite even her alleged inability to lie without puking? On top of that both her and Harlan allegedly failed to notice Harlan didn't have the overdose symptoms Marta said he would experience after 5minutes? Then this tired drugged old man cut his own throat and left no suicide note (or audio recording) that would have far better protected Marta and her mom? Marta's uncorroborated wild alibi is just extremely far-fetched, especially for a detective who saw the victim's blood (a blood drop which apparently flew all the way across the room???) on this murder suspect with a victim who never displayed any signs of suicide. In the movie Benoit said Marta had a kind heart, but near the end she called him a "terrible detective"... sarcasm or maybe not? If Marta didn't cut Harlan's throat then she's a terrible nurse for failing to not notice Harlan's missing symptoms which would have saved his life. It's also a jerk move to drink out of the recently deceased's "My Rules My House" coffee cup in front of the recently deceased's family whether the family were jerks or not. That's not something a kind heart would do especially since clever observant Marta said the family "treated her well" and she didn't puke after saying that... or was she lying?
@@PyroDrew I think the problem is that we see Marta’s alibi. Yes, it is liable to discrepancies due to whether her memory is entirely correct or not, but it’s still mostly what happened. When the others lie in their interviews, we get shown their memory of the night, not their lie. Even if you don’t believe that, as Elliot points out, we know Harlan did cut his own throat because of the uninterrupted blood splatter pattern. I can definitely agree Marta not noticing Harlan wasn’t experiencing side effects is iffy but I’m also happy to put it down to her not thinking clearly, and given they only had 6-8 minutes to make a plan, I’m not surprised it was weird and convoluted as that’s the kind of thing Harlan wrote. I also don’t think Marta picked the cup at the end (potentially she hasn’t even bothered to notice what’s on it), it always looked to me like she sort of went into shock after almost being killed, so Benoit got her a blanket and a cup of tea. But it is super interesting to hear your thoughts, I’ve never thought about just how differently two people could interpret the same film!
The absolute perfection of the daughter reading the secret text of the letter and it saying "i have proof I know you don't need to see" really is a nice detail to show how she can really be a wise character
@@aria5614it’s also important to note that she’s the only one Harlen didn’t seem to despise at the end. She also seems to be the only family member to truly grieve him. Even her anger over the will always seemed to me less selfish “gimme the money” and more legitimate hurt that Harlen seemed to love Marta more than her. She’s still like, not a good person, but there’s depth to it.
Something I wanted to point out with the trick window is that Marta’s foot never touched the window sill, but Blanc finds a footprint on it. Then when you see the reveal later, Ransom ACTUALLY DOES put his foot on the sill. Another tiny detail that I adore. (Edit) He pointed it out, should never have doubted!
Very very light Glass Onion spoilers below: Since you're probably working on Glass Onion now, here's a little detail I loved. Everything in Harlan Thrombey's house, every prop, was very meticulously placed. It all had either references to Thrombey's original works, or strong personal connections. Everything has a story behind it, literally or figuratively. Now compare this to Miles Bron's house. All the decor are tasteless, meaningless props, only decorating the house because of their price tag. Even the Mona Lisa didn't have any meaning or emotion behind it, despite the deeply emotional origin, history, and composition of the piece. Bron just wanted a quick callback to a random line he spoke years ago, and the most valuable painting on the planet. Just a fun contrast between the movies I noticed!
As a matter of fact actually, even the showey idiot rich man energy is meticulously developed. The painting of Miles is a reference to Fight Club, there’s famous expensive paintings that are hung incorrectly, and even the random glass sculptures are all references to the song “Glass Onion” by the beetles. I also heard somewhere online that the guitar he’s playing when they arrive is actually a leftie guitar, and he’s playing it right handed
Speaking as someone who works at a public library and sees a lot of thrillers like the ones Harlan wrote go across the desk every day, I feel like the shots we get of his books are also a win, because they looked exactly how modern mystery thrillers cranked out by one prolific author should look. (I also started theorizing halfway through the movie that part of Ransom's motive was that he had ghostwritten some of Harlan's books and resented going uncredited, but I was wrong on that front).
I'm actually glad he didn't. Spoiled brat doing spoiled brat things because no one ever told him no. One guy went as far as murdering his parents and faking horrible injuries than go to work or school.
I feel like Meg was really the only one in the family to actually care. You can see in the background of one of the last shots that she is talking to a cop and is in shock most likely due to Ransom plot being told to her
her name is the only one placed directly under the light of the lamp during the interviews. She's better than the rest, but still impacted by her surroundings.
@@lilyofluck371 Forced how? Physically? That doesn’t look likely. Legally? She is an adult in college. The consequences to her not making that call were the same as what she was facing as a result of the will: being cut off from her family’s wealth. She made a decision that most of us would make in her shoes, and regretted it which is to her moral credit and is why I like to imagine Marta still helped her with college, but it was still her decision to agree to make that call.
Same, I watched it in school for our Crime Fiction unit and the whole class was on edge. Every lesson I'd be surprised. I did not expect to be so invested.
Regarding the dropped-tray trope: I was holding a baby when I found out that I had won a skating competition and did that same kind of half drop-fumble thing. It was out of excitement instead of fear but on the other hand it was also an actual living child instead of a cup of coffee… So yes, it seems entirely reasonable to me that startled emotions can make you drop what you are holding (Also, sorry to the kid and boy was I glad his parents continued to hire me as a babysitter😂)
And the way they are all standing right there watching her... yeah. They "decided" it would be best if Meg call her... or maybe Meg might not get her share. Which is odd as no one is getting a share at this point. But you know that's how they all think.
@@ferrous719 Never had a pushy family like that, huh? You have any idea how hellish her life would have been if she said no? They're all there with her. Violence from those people is NOT out of the question.
yeah but she also told them about martas undocumented mom, which nobody else in the family knew about. the point of the movie is that everyone in the thrombey family is a little awful in some way, and meg isn't an exception.
Genuinely one of my favourite movies. And Glass Onion was lots of fun too. I love this concept of grab an ensemble cast, make it a very loose anthology series, and Rian essentially creating modern day Agatha Christie stories, but ones that were made for film, and that only truly work because every shot and scene are filmed in a way that kind of fill you in as you go, but that only make sense when all put together. It’s extremely smart filmmaking and they are just incredibly fun to watch. Having enjoyed both of the Knives Out stories I think it’s safe to say that I’m happy to be along for the ride for as long as Rian wants to keep making them.
I think she genuinely had Harlin's best interest at heart and wasn't trying to get him to cut off his family. She was helping him try to let them grow as a person, which is what he wanted . He wanted them to be better than they were, and she gave him honest advice on how he could do that . She probably thought that they weren't the best of people, but she could see the good in each one of them ( what little there may have been) She wouldn't have been the good person that she was if she had brought it up in an attempt to hurt them . I guarantee she noticed he was probably upset with how things were and being his friend he confided in her and she gave honest answers along with suggestions on how he might handle the situation he was in with each if them .
23:50 fun fact, she's actually playing in the optimal way, kind of. I'm not a go player but i've heard from go players that the best strategy is not to focus on winning every little interaction, but building your board up, or "building a beautiful pattern". Someone "playing to win" might just focus on taking every piece they can, but that's not actually the way to win against good players
God, I love this movie. In my mind, a sign of a great movie is that it never feels too long and I want it to keep going for hours. Knives Out and Glass Onion are both more than 2 hour long, and they do NOT feel like it. They're so engaging and just plain fun to watch
totally agree. I've seen knives out with my mates at a movie night and we all loved it so much that we got really hyped when glass onion aired in our local cinema. Both films have a kinda different in some ways but still similar in other ways vibe and they were both very entertaining, not at last because of the phenomenal cast and fantastic camera work.
I felt the time in Glass Onion but not because it wasn’t engaging, but because I knew it was almost over and I wanted more. These two movies are in my top 10, 100%
I got lucky and managed to watch it in the cinema. It's got a very different vibe but is super good as well. Will definitely watch it again on Netflix in the earliest occasion
@@ConductiveFoamI saw it in theatre, too! Such a fun movie to see with a crowd. Everyone laughed together and gasped at Marta’s vomiting 😂 Netflix is leaving a lot of money on the table by pulling Glass Onion out of theatre after only 1 week.
I saw this movie for the first time at a viewing on my college campus. I went in alone with no expectations, just wanting to fill in an open evening. And this movie... blew. My. Mind. Instant favorite. I left in a cloud of awe and immediately called everyone to rave about it. On break, I sat my whole family down to watch it. Still one of my favorites.
What I liked about this movie was that even though Marta being an illegal immigrant was a fairly significant plot point/character detail, it never seemed to do any political grandstanding about immigration in America. It was only used to further show how scummy the family was. Also, if you like this movie, you all should watch Columbo.
It was nice that the creators relegated their politics to subtle jabs(notice the worst people are more right wing) rather than blatantly hammering us with them. It still annoyed me that an otherwise excellent movie would try to slip politics into the mix. At least it was somewhat believable and done well.
In the first shot of Marta holding the mug and looking down on the family, she is covering the three sentences with her fingers. I found this symbolic of her keeping the house for herself and not sharing it with the Thrombeys.
for some people the poster actually spoiled it because they made chris evans' character the same size on the poster as marta and harlan, instead of the other poster where everyones standing in a line with only harlan in the centre
This is the only movie I've seen that feels like it's over in seconds - every shot has a reason and a meaning behind it. Everything is purposeful and it means I could watch it again and again
That 'gate weave' is built into aftereffects as the "wiggle" command. It randomly moves a number of pixels over a number of seconds(or fractions there of), commonly applied to the entire frame to give a sense of 'energy' to the shot. If you see the frame jiggling subtly (and it happens more than you realize, look for it and you wont be able to unsee it) but there is no parallax change (caused by the lenses changing perspective due to their moving position in space) then its a digital wiggle added in post. Want to make your personal video projects not look so locked off and flat? Add a wiggle(5,7) to the XY position in AE ;)
@@sydnamon5986 That's going to be a hard one to describe, since parallax requires either one lens to shift or one of two eyes to close in the strictest definition of "parallax"; I assume @Mandi is referring to the non-presence of an oscillating back-and-forth, but I might be misconstruing. It's... *a mystery*
@@sydnamon5986 Parallax is the effect you see when looking out a train window, where distant objects seem to be moving by much more slowly than closer ones. What Mandi is talking about here is that, if the "wiggle" is created at the time of filming, the nearer objects will wiggle a lot more than far ones, because the camera lens is actually moving in 3D space. But a video editing program only sees each frame it as a flat 2D image, so it will apply the same the amount of wiggle for every pixel in the frame, regardless of whether that pixel is part of a mountain in the distance or the actor's jacket in the foreground.
My sister got my mom to watch this a couple of weeks ago and she pretty quickly figured out who the bad guy was 😂 we can’t have her watch mysteries, she’s really good at being detective lol. My sister and I already saw the movie, it was hard not to say “yes, your right mom” when mom guessed who it was when it was half way into the movie
A lot of people suspected Ransom, but the real question is… did she figured out WHY he’s the bad guy? To me, that’s what makes this movie stand out from other mysteries. It’s not hard to think that Ransom’s the most likely candidate, but after the movie reveals that it was “Marta”, it muddies the water a lot. It’s no longer about who killed him, it’s about how is Benoit going to figure it out.
surprisingly she figured out part of it, that he swapped out the meds and guessed a lot of it, she's very good at figuring out based on clues etc, she just didn't know why he did it till he revealed it at the end. everything else she guessed correctly lol. she never just 'suspects' people in mysteries lol.
+1 win at 18:37 for Linda eyeing the ball the dog had in its mouth, the same ball Don threw out of Harlan’s study window at the beginning of the movie. You can see the gears turning from the look on her face, knowing where it must have come from.
I studied crime fiction at the start of this year, and we watched this film as part of it. For the first time in maybe five years, I was genuinely surprised by the twists. I hadn't watched or read anything I couldn't predict in ages (not including those really bad twists where they reveal new information two seconds before they figure it out) so Knives Out was amazing. Especially when I watch this, and the smaller details are pointed out, everything from the light reflections to the refilmed scenes based off of each perspective was so well thought out.
I absolutely adore this movie, and every single cast member was perfect for their part. I really hope there is some sort of sequel. I think that I especially love how Jamie Lee Curtis and Chris Evans can play genuine sweet hearts, a bad ass ,or a bad guy, and they are believable as all 3 .
There is another: Glass Onion. It's a sequel in the sense that it follows Benoit Blanc. The Thrombeys don't pop up again.(As far as I know since I've not watched it yet.)
Have you seen “Everything Everywhere all at once”? Because it’s a really good and Oscar winning (if you care about that) movie with Jamie Lee Curtis in it
I think what makes Evans so good as the villain is the meta-association we (the audience) with him and Captain America. Even when he becomes SO suspicious, you want the twist to be that’s he’s actually good. To take a little more cynical look, it’s probably a case of Remarkable White Guy syndrome.
Meg was such an interesting character because unlike the rest of the family she does seem to care for Marta. She fully embraces Marta, helps her with the panic attacks etc. It did feel like her family was manipulating her, especially her mother. When she said Meg wouldn't be able to go to school without the inheritance I was kinda pissed. She's somewhat of a good person being used by her family.
How much of it was caring about her and how much was simply Marta being the only one remotely close to her age at Family Functions except Jacob - the actresses are 8 years apart, the in age, characters maybe 10 (but I'd argue closer with Marta being several years younger than Ana, while Megan was closer 20, making her only 2-3 years younger than Katherine)
I always liked Ana de Armas, but this movie made me fall in love with her. Not just because she's absolutelly stunning, but because she makes you FEEL for her, no matter the character.
And too see her in this and then in No Time to Die... what completely different characters and somehow also similar. With Paloma being so nervous about her first big assignment and drinking to try and calm herself and in this being so nervous all the time. Just a weird thought I had. She's so good at really selling a character's emotions.
My friend ran a TTRPG for us based on the movie, and I (without watching the movie before) picked The Nurse as my character. She actually had me roll to see if I’d actually noticed the meds being switched, and I was very pleased to get the possibility where my character Clara is “a good nurse”. It was all super fun to play and made me really excited to watch the movie, even knowing the twist
I’ll never forget watching this movie for the first time. Such a awesome experience. The whole cast is amazing but Daniel Craig knocked it out of the park!
I watched this one recently with my girlfriend, and during the reading of the will, I thought Ransom was just there to partake in any schadenfreude that might occur, but my gf immediately said "he knew this was coming". Gonna hijack the win count and give one to her for having him pegged as in cahoots based purely on facial expression, which is a win for America's Ass and his stellar acting.
My favorite moment is right at the end before they go to the credits. Marta’s standing on the terrace, looking down over everyone. Then she brings up the coffee mug we saw in the beginning to take a sip, and the last words we see are “my house” on the mug.
Just rewachted this film again last week. I loved it the first time, I love it even more now. The dialogue, the feeling that you get while watching the movie that each frame holds a mystery or rather a clue is very apparent and yet so subtle. The music, the composition, the fact that every actor is going all-in and seems to be having a blast while doing so... Low key one of my favorite movies of all time. Can't wait to watch the sequel, I could watch Craig playing Blanc all day.
You know I don't think I sung Chris Evan's enough in this movie for his performance. Seriously the dude played a superhero for over 10 years and he perfectly captures"rich D-bag" with absolute ease. Dude's seriously talented, also props to Rian's stellar direction. The man ALWAYS knows how to get the best performance from his actors.
A handful of prop wins... The painting during the family interviews shows a trunk of clothes with a skull, showing their skeletons in the closet, the painting on the left prior to the will reading showing a man holding his head in the hands, showing Harlan really killed himself, the model eyes behind Harlan when he lectures Linda's husband, and in the restaurant, Ransom has four beers and a red mixed drink, patterning his growlers and the one that was lit ablaze.
The opening shot with the house put me in mind of an old BBC series called Johnathan Creek. It's about a magician's assistant who helps the police solve 'magical' crimes - body in locked room sort of thing. Well worth checking out if you can find it.
1:02 a shout-out to the "Sleuth" movie of 1972. 3:36 Thank you! Not many people recognise her, and she deserves much more. 7:37 Not a "thriller inside a whodunit", more like "howcatchum inside a whodunit". 12:59 Totally unrelated, but I don't ever untie my laces. I've bought stretching ones specifically so that I don't have to untie them. I hate it SO much. 18:40 Yes, this is perfect! 5 wins for that is a legally required minimum. 20:24 Here I disagree. Blanc is definitely the smartest in the room, followed by Marta, and then by Ransom. Marta is way smarter than she looks, but Blanc is a bona fide genius. Sure, it was her who finally caught Ransom, but without her help... no, Blanc will get him eventually.
smart, clever, observant. they are all different. Blanc is observant. he notice the blood drop and does background research beforehand. this gives him more information to work with than anyone else. but he's slow moving and doesn't understand things intuitively. "i see gravities rainbow, DEDUCE it's terminus..." he has to do that work. Ransom is clever. he comes up with novel ideas quickly. after marta tells him about the switch. he quickly pivots to a double black mail and the "dumbest car chase." clever tends to be stubborn and self centered though. he had to stay involved when marta would likely confess with out him. Marta(and Harlan) is smart. She understands that Walt wouldnt have the resources to protect her (or come after her). she pauses and thinks through all the implications of leaving Fran alone and still chooses to help. as well as how to play go well. it's hard man. but smart tends to lack initiative. she doesn't push on anything until some else push her. both with the inheritance and with all the murder mystery stuff.
Can we get an Everything Great About A Muppet Christmas Carol, pleeeeeeaaaaaasssssse? Probably the best Christmas movie ever and definitely best Dickens adaptation.
Not 100% sure about the others but the first 2 times Blanc plays the piano key, is something that is intrumental to what actually happened. He played it when Linda said that Ransom left early and also when Walt said the plots popped into Harlan's head fully formed. That is how harlan was able to tell Marta exactly what to do in such a short time and well we know what happened when Ransom left
Another good one with the party scene is how Richard automatically hands Marta his empty plate while talking about her. Because to him she's a servant, doesn't matter if she's a nurse.
I always love seeing "Part 1" on a video for a movie I love. I always know it's gonna be good! On the subject of movies I love, Episode 93 of requesting The Princess Bride with Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Andre The Giant, Billy Crystal and more! My favourite movie of all time, and infinitely quotable!
The first time I watched this movie, I said I wanted more Benny 'donut hole' Blanc movies. Here's hoping Glass Onion does well enough to encourage a third movie!
Finally got round to seeing this in preparation for Glass Onion (fell ill when I first had tickets) and it immediately made my Top 10 of all time. Beautiful, charming, and somehow utterly original while being such a clear pastiche of a well-tread genre. Hoping they make as many of these as there are Christies!
Gotta say, Benoit Blanc is one of my favorite characters of anything ever. I'd love to watch ten more movies of him walking around in his silly little outfits being weirly southern and cartoony.
would love if you started also subtitling the scenes you use! sometimes it is hard to hear , especially for someone who does not have English as their first language and was just reading at that point
I agree, it is especially hard when I didn't watch the movie, they don't talk as clearly as I'm used to from dubbed versions where everything is recorded very clearly
The opening scene is one of the best openings to a movie I’ve ever seen. It’s campy, it’s cliche, and yet it perfectly encapsulates the entire movie in just 1.5 minutes. (Plus the score is AMAZING)
I still think that Meg wasn't actually that bad a person in this. She shows in most of the film to be Marta's friend. The time she manipulating her she stepped away from her family and showed real pain in her speech. I think her family likely pressuring her in that instance is what forced her to betray Marta. I dunno just another thought on my 5th rewatch of the film haha
She’s the least bad of them all, but she still leeched of the family’s wealth and went along with it because she had something to lose. I believe she truly cares about Marta, but it shows how the class divide is hard to overcome.
Regardless of how bad she feels, it just shows that she is a friend as long as it doesn't require anything from her to be a friend. As soon as it does, she turns her back. That is not a good friend or ally.
Ive always thought Linda wasnt as bad as the others either. She was the one where it was extremely obvious she loved her dad, she found out her dad committed suicide, had a whole ass police investigation happen, found out she lost the house shes lived in for 40 years, during the investigation saw her husband and brother fight multiple times showing how shes often in the middle of those 2 fighting even when her fucking father dies, eventually finds out it wasnt actually suicide but her son killed her father and that her husband was cheating on her. Hell if there was ever a good reason why some of her bad traits are ok for the moment, this has to be it. The difference between her and richard also was shown immediately as she hugs marta and genuinely wants to have a convo with her while richard is more interested in his phone
@@rolef6084 Yeah, Linda, spite of all her flaws, truly loved her father. When she found the baseball she took the time to go to his office and return it to its proper place even though it all now belonged to Marta, showing that she cared for her father's belongings. And when her son is arrested, while her idiot husband tries to BRIBE the police, she just stands far away letting it happen, focusing instead on her father's last letter.
Let's be real, the real star of the show was that wool sweater! I actually bought a wool sweater that looks just like it because it just looked so cozy. I love wearing it during the winter time
I absolutely love this movie and Daniel Craig’s acting. I even know the actor for Fran! (The maid at the beginning of the movie, and the one that does with the spider)
This movie is the reason why I don't blame Rian Johnson for the Star Wars debacle anymore. If anyone's to blame, it's the corporate leadership who didn't have the idea to think the whole trilogy out before beginning production on the first one. Rian is an excellent writer and director-this movie here, Brick, and Looper are proof of that, IMHO. I'm very much looking forward to the sequel!
8:58 I did want to mention, CPR actually isn’t giving the person O2, it’s just forcing more CO2 into the bloodstream- this tells the medulla oblongata, which can detect the drop in pH associated with high CO2, to make the lungs take in more air/oxygen to replace/ refuel the bloodstream so cellular respiration can continue.
I realized this yesterday while watching some people react to Knives Out. A reason Harlan unalived himself is so that the slayer rule would not apply to Marta and she would get the inheritance.
the funny thing is, its not even about throwing the ball and linda putting it back, if he hadnt gone through the effort of opening the locked drawer, the letter would remain in there, leaving no possible opportunity for linda to see it
also at 10:05 in the scene where Marta has her flashback Blanc ask her if Harlan seemed different that night acting strange she answers with no but faintly you can hear her stomach make a noise, technically yes he was not acting different or strange because he wasn't planning on killing himself but his reaction and the answer from Marta was still enough to make her stomach reacts as if she was lying
At one point while watching this film (the last one I saw in a theater before the lockdown!) I remember thinking, “Huh, I wonder why that little moment reminded me of _The Brothers Bloom_ “ and my next thought was, “Duh.”
Dude the attention to detail you have for these movies is insane. You literally made me love this movie even more than I did already. (Side note how do you know all sorts of actual information in real life do you just look it up or do you do a lot of research?)
I don't mind the re-uploads since you point it out in the description. My memory isn't so great so I'm never 100% sure until I double check, haha. Watched it all again, thanks!
Also the fact that we know Daniel Craig prior to this was James Bond. Most who doneits are of classical British detectives. Sherlock homes, Agatha Christie. This movie is setting up to be inspired by that gentleman detective genre. Even Benoit Blanc sounds regal and fancy. But the second he speaks and has that southern drawl. It's a misdirect within a misdirect. Daniel Craig NAILEd this character and I hope this role becomes his legacy
Just confirming your thoughts that this is a 2-parter reupload but don't fret, new EGA this...Saturday probably. It's the OG dinosaur movie. Why be coy, it's EGA Jurassic Park!
@CinemaWins Yes, I LOVE Jurassic Park, and it's amazing it took you this long to hit one of the classics! I can't wait!
Though I do wish you'd do another classic...it's a bit more niche, but The Princess Bride (based on the book) with Cary Elwes, Robin Wright and more is just *chef's kiss.* It's a classic and I'd love to see you cover it. (Episode 93 of requesting it :P )
Yes!!!!
Please do Wolfwalkers!
Sounds great! Can’t wait for you to do The Glass Onion. I think I liked it more than the first one!
I knew it!
I made my mother, who is a nurse of 40+ years, watch this with me. She immediately said during Harlan's death scene that someone switched the meds because he'd be showing symptoms already if she gave him 100mg of morphine. It was pretty cool. So I got to mimic Benoit and say that's because you are a good nurse... 😛
My dumbass was saying how unrealistic it was that he wouldn't immediately be showing symptoms from that much morphine... I may have been drinking lol
Watching it, I just assumed this was one of those moments where we all pretend this convoluted shit happened way faster than it did
@@josephwilliams1251 Yeah, I kind of dislike how common that trope is, where time is compressed but there's no way for the audience to know that. It feels cheap. And then when you invert it, you can't be sure either way.
i noticed it too but brushed it off because i was already used to medical misinformation being portrayed in movies
As someone who has had to have IV morphine many times, dude would have been out of it within seconds lol it starts hitting you pretty much instantly
I have a theory that Marta is how Harlan got all his info on the family to cut them out. They don't notice her, so they say things in front of her all the time. Then she, being good friends with Harlan, tells him through conversation and he digs deeper or acts on it. If Marta hadn't been a good person and befriended Harlan, the family likely would have gotten away with being themselves and just sucking off Harlan for life.
Phrasing
@@jonathanstone450 Phrasing
@@aionicthunder it kept saying network connection lost so i thought i was commenting it for the first time when it finally didn’t say it 😂
Nah, Harlan set them all against each other from since they were kids. He made everything a competition for his approval and I don't think he was a very approving sort. I think he cut them all out because none of them bested him. Remember Marta could beat him, even if it was by making pretty patterns and because she didn't buy into his BS and was nice no matter what he did she won.
@@jonathanstone450 Yeah, I figured. I was just curious to see if I could get a chain going
Fun fact, ransom's sweater is riducolously expensive but has holes in it, not only showing his wasteful money use and also the fact that he's is sturggling to keep up wiht his lifestyle.
We have the same name and I just thought you should know
@@Cedarellie oooh name twins
I didn't see it as him struggling to keep up with the lifestyle, but rather that he so disrespects all his possessions and inherited wealth because he's never worked for anything that he literally doesn't care about taking care of things. Why take care of something (which takes work) that means nothing to you?
@@marshallc6215 I only saw it as him struggling because he would have replaced it, his ego and pride wouldn't have let him continue to wear it if he could just get another one
@@cedarmay4245 that's fair. I think what makes it hard to tell which it is, is that we never see Ransom when he's not putting on a performance, so it's hard to say how much of his ego and pride are true vices and how much is him being the heel his family hates just to watch them squirm
8:45 - As someone who has performed CPR for 20 minutes while waiting for an ambulance - it is both no time at all, and forever. And I hope to never have to do it again. Adrenaline will keep you going as long as you need to; then collapse from just *everything* when you're done.
one thing i would like to add is that he would probably still have died even with cpr
the problem lies with cpr itself
or rather with cpr on old people
you see, when you do cpr you have to do chest compressions but on older folk this tends to break ribs, not necessarily because yoi do them wrong or anything
just because their bones can't absorb the pressure that well anymore (even with younger people it happens)
broken ribs can have devastating results (especially while the chest is being compressed over and over again)
@@clexclex4531While CPR can break ribs on anyone (and more so, I would indeed expect, on older people), it's still preferable to try. Broken ribs are bad but not as bad as lack of oxygen to the brain. And the crackling sound you hear during proper CPR is mostly cartilage, not ribs.
The Fire Department Chronicles has a great video discussing some basics and dismantling a few objections to CPR. It's even pretty humorous and thus memorable (I love their videos).
And now that they've updated the standards to allow for hands-only CPR (which, from a layman, works as well or sometimes better than trying to figure out the breathing -- the exception being if the cause of passing out was lack of air, like drowning), there's no reason to shy from helping when an emergency arises. Everyone should learn the basics of first aid, because when you need it you don't have time to look it up.
P.S. You're right that there's still a high chance of the guy dying; I just wanted to make sure nobody interpreted this as "eh, he's old, it's not even worth it to try."
@@Arkylie i'm very sorry if i made it sound like i didn't approve of chest compression or something like that
DO CHEST COMPRESSIONS
not doing them is more dangerous to the person than doing them could ever be
as to your comment, the cracking sound is cartilage that is correct however what i meant with my comment was not to disregard chest compressions but to mention that what you are hearing is normal doing them and that there are risks which is why no matter what after cpr the person has to go to the hospital
fun fact: you should also go to the hospital for any kind of electrical shock (like an electric fence or something like that) because the shock can disrupt your heart rythm
have fun if you are a hypochondriac
@@clexclex4531 Very late to this, but whatever- EMT here, and we are taught that we WILL break ribs. In fact, once the ribs are broken, CPR becomes significantly easier. Yes, it sucks for the person who's ribs we just broke, but they're already dead; it's not like their day can get much worse.
Another note on the dogs. Often in whodunit movies, the first thing you see can be a dead giveaway to the culprit. The dogs are the first thing we see and the only one the dogs don't like is Ransom, the first time we see Ransom the dogs bark at him. The whole thing is subtly revealed to the viewer from the very beginning.
And how many mystery stories revolve around dogs not liking the bad guy too. It's a fun little homage.
The involvement of the dogs actually serves a second purpose which is a further clue for Blanc and the audience that Marta was involved: Harlan's murderer would have needed to escape the house without being seen by the rest of the family, but the dogs never barked again that night ever since Ransom left. This sort of thing is a homage to Sherlock Holmes's "Silver Blaze" where Holmes pulls a near-identical deduction (one of the most popular examples of "Absence of Evidence" in murder mystery literature)
I noticed that, why would they start the movie off with some dogs running??? I was watching intently until I noticed they barked at him.
Daniel Craig is actually developing into one of my favorite actors, just for his willingness to make a fool out of himself in his recent roles and appearances. Benoit, his Vodka commercial, and he does it with so much fun and sincerity, it’s really fun to watch
Same here! I've been watching the bond movies with my dad since I was young and loved the Craig ones, but his recent roles have been so wonderful! I watched some SNL skits he was in and his humor was so incredible and he's just having so much fun it's awesome!
If y'all like him in these kinds of roles, you should watch Logan Lucky!! It has him and Adam Driver and both are superb in it!!
@@EvlNabiki Damn, what an amazing coincidence, Adam Driver is my other favorite actor
He already hit his rock bottom by playing James Bond, I don’t think anything else is gonna faze him.
@@EvlNabiki that’s the movie with the NASCAR heist right?
17:35 Blanc singing along to Sondheim here, and then being actual friends with the man in Glass Onion is some amazing intertextual character detail.
Also, the police officer describing the house as a Clue Board and Benoit telling Helen in Glass Onion that he hates Clue because he's bad at it.
Getting Chris Evans to play the bad guy was easily one of the best promotional strategies for a film I've ever seen!
People were so used to him playing Captain America, that they went, "No way he can be the bad guy!!!"
Chris Evans is amazing in whatever I see him in.
Too true, he’s really good at being a villain though, I enjoyed gray man a lot for that reason
Indeed, Ransom is probably the most tolerable person in that family, since he's the only one who is upfront about what a jackass he is.
People kinda forgot how good he was in playing an asshole character.
Honestly, even while Blanc was explaining everything I was still waiting for some sort of twist where Ransom wasn’t actually the bad guy. That’s how good he was.
Daniel Craig, Ana De Armas, and Chris Evans were legendary and gave amazing performances in this movie.
Precisely, even though it wasn't Ana's first film, it certainly put her on the map of rising stars!
I agree but I also loved Toni’s role she was a lot of fun
I especially loved Chris Evans' performance because, and this isn't saying is performance on its own isn't stellar, I think it would have hit slightly differently if he hadn't just spent a decade as Captain America. Ransom is so very much the antithesis of Steve Rogers that watching that transition makes me all gooey inside.
Evans was so refreshing as a villain after Captaining the America.
C'mon, do not forget Michael Shannon, he was hilarious.
Missing one Win: When Marta was having a flashback, she was instructed to stop near the Elephant statue. But she couldn't remember before or after. Harlan's voice initially said "Before" then she tried to remember again and the voice changed to "After". Marta tried to remember again and the voice now said "Beafterfore", illustrating the fragility of human memories (something that this movie embraced)
And boy, I love Chris Evan's acting here. None of the Captain America vibes came out from him. He was so believable being an a-hole. He's closer to his Jhonny Storm than Cap here.
YEEES I love that details so much, cause it was becoming unbelievable how well she was remembering everything and then... bam. this. and it also adds to the conflict!
I don't think that Rian Johnson is "taking the middle ground" on the politics so much as he's pointing out that rich people tend to pay lip service to whatever ideologies they've latched onto, but will ultimately do whatever they need to maintain their wealth and power. Without spoiling anything, this is a theme he explores even more in Glass Onion (which is absolutely phenomenal, btw).
Agreed. I didn't really vibe with the end of this video at all. To me it's very clear that Rian is making commentary on the rich in modern society. Class is a very common theme in Whoddunits since their inception anyway, and Rian's series plays with this even more. There isn't a middle ground in this film, he's showing the hypocrisy of these people, such as the father stating that illegally immigrating kids is breaking the law and the parents should face those facts, but then later being shown trying to bribe the police despite his son literally committing multiple attempted murders. This wasn't a "there's both sides to the arguement", this was a "this is a side to the arguement but look at the hipocrisy behind it".
And the one sister with her more liberal arguments was a clear display of the current state of many rich white liberals who pay lip service without truly understanding, while staying very central in their views in order to maintain power and wealth.
True, except Marta also did whatever she needed to do to maintain her wealth and power within the family before and after the will was read. She even admitted she didn't want to spend a mere 5minutes playing a game with Harlan despite it being his birthday and even if it broke his tradition. She only did it because he was her boss. She was constantly deceiving the family and the detectives for her own selfish reasons. At the end she holds the dead man's coffee cup in front of the recently deceased's family to flex her wealth and power over them.
@@PyroDrewI think this is a very odd read of the movie, especially to say Marta was trying to maintain wealth and power before the will read because she didn’t even know she was in it (and she really didn’t have any wealth or power before it). Her main motivation was just her trying to keep her mother from being deported, not to gain wealth or power in any way. But as soon as people actually start getting hurt because of the whole scenario she confesses to the murder, which doesn’t fit the idea of her doing whatever she needs to for selfish reasons.
I also read the game scene between Harlan and Marta differently. I didn’t read it as her refusing to play because she doesn’t care, and only playing because he pays her (she’s just his nurse, she’s not obligated to play with him). It felt more like her refusing because she was tired, but playing anyway because she knew it was important to him and would make him happy. I can’t imagine he’d give her everything he owns if she was just nice to him for his money. As Benoit says, she has a kind heart. (But also oh well, everyone has their own interpretation of things)
@@alexschofield8085 Everyone has their own interpretation and many things are possible... I just don't find Marta's alibi probable.
Each of the family member's wealth/income was mostly whatever Harlan gave/paid them when he was alive and the same was true for Marta. After Marta says, "I know you were looking forward to it" to Harlan when Harlan talks about how he "cut the line" on his family "like you (Marta) said". So even according to Marta, Harlan was not only informing her of his major financial decisions, but she was actively influencing Harlan's major financial decisions. That is power and also makes the reading of his will far less surprising.
Even according to Marta's alibi, the Go game scene made Marta appear quite lively with her movements, energy and her words (never yawned, never said she was tired, etc).
Marta later confessing to manslaughter only sounds selfless if we blindly believe Marta's outrageous alibi. Benoit claimed Marta accidentally gave Harlan the correct medicine subconsciously (via liquid weight, etc) because she's such a "good nurse", but that means it's possible she may have consciously knew (via liquid weight, imperfect label switch, etc). Marta's "confession" means a toxicology report would be done for her trial, but Marta consciously giving Harlan the correct medicine makes any toxicology report only prove her innocence to her "confession". Later Marta is conveniently the one who finds the hidden toxicology report, not the detectives.
If Marta's main motivation was keeping her mother from being deported then one would think Marta (clever) or Harlan (with his allegedly long-winded elaborate plan) would have planned for that better. Instead Marta's alibi is Harlan expected a young stressed woman in panic to, with luck, successfully complete his long-winded elaborate deception to fool his entire family and multiple detectives over several days despite even her alleged inability to lie without puking? On top of that both her and Harlan allegedly failed to notice Harlan didn't have the overdose symptoms Marta said he would experience after 5minutes? Then this tired drugged old man cut his own throat and left no suicide note (or audio recording) that would have far better protected Marta and her mom? Marta's uncorroborated wild alibi is just extremely far-fetched, especially for a detective who saw the victim's blood (a blood drop which apparently flew all the way across the room???) on this murder suspect with a victim who never displayed any signs of suicide. In the movie Benoit said Marta had a kind heart, but near the end she called him a "terrible detective"... sarcasm or maybe not?
If Marta didn't cut Harlan's throat then she's a terrible nurse for failing to not notice Harlan's missing symptoms which would have saved his life. It's also a jerk move to drink out of the recently deceased's "My Rules My House" coffee cup in front of the recently deceased's family whether the family were jerks or not. That's not something a kind heart would do especially since clever observant Marta said the family "treated her well" and she didn't puke after saying that... or was she lying?
@@PyroDrew I think the problem is that we see Marta’s alibi. Yes, it is liable to discrepancies due to whether her memory is entirely correct or not, but it’s still mostly what happened. When the others lie in their interviews, we get shown their memory of the night, not their lie. Even if you don’t believe that, as Elliot points out, we know Harlan did cut his own throat because of the uninterrupted blood splatter pattern. I can definitely agree Marta not noticing Harlan wasn’t experiencing side effects is iffy but I’m also happy to put it down to her not thinking clearly, and given they only had 6-8 minutes to make a plan, I’m not surprised it was weird and convoluted as that’s the kind of thing Harlan wrote. I also don’t think Marta picked the cup at the end (potentially she hasn’t even bothered to notice what’s on it), it always looked to me like she sort of went into shock after almost being killed, so Benoit got her a blanket and a cup of tea. But it is super interesting to hear your thoughts, I’ve never thought about just how differently two people could interpret the same film!
The absolute perfection of the daughter reading the secret text of the letter and it saying "i have proof I know you don't need to see" really is a nice detail to show how she can really be a wise character
It really felt like she would be the most okay out of them all. She picked up her dad's smarts. She's probably already successful in her own way.
@@aria5614it’s also important to note that she’s the only one Harlen didn’t seem to despise at the end. She also seems to be the only family member to truly grieve him. Even her anger over the will always seemed to me less selfish “gimme the money” and more legitimate hurt that Harlen seemed to love Marta more than her. She’s still like, not a good person, but there’s depth to it.
Something I wanted to point out with the trick window is that Marta’s foot never touched the window sill, but Blanc finds a footprint on it. Then when you see the reveal later, Ransom ACTUALLY DOES put his foot on the sill. Another tiny detail that I adore.
(Edit) He pointed it out, should never have doubted!
Very very light Glass Onion spoilers below:
Since you're probably working on Glass Onion now, here's a little detail I loved. Everything in Harlan Thrombey's house, every prop, was very meticulously placed. It all had either references to Thrombey's original works, or strong personal connections. Everything has a story behind it, literally or figuratively. Now compare this to Miles Bron's house. All the decor are tasteless, meaningless props, only decorating the house because of their price tag. Even the Mona Lisa didn't have any meaning or emotion behind it, despite the deeply emotional origin, history, and composition of the piece. Bron just wanted a quick callback to a random line he spoke years ago, and the most valuable painting on the planet. Just a fun contrast between the movies I noticed!
That's a very good point. Just another way the makers of these films show their skill. And more proof that Miles... is just an idiot.
When he does Glass Onion, he has got to put a separate counter for Miles being an idiot.
Best thing is, in the background you can see Rothkow painting put upside down.
oh yeah totally! shows the difference between the millionaires, it’s great
As a matter of fact actually, even the showey idiot rich man energy is meticulously developed. The painting of Miles is a reference to Fight Club, there’s famous expensive paintings that are hung incorrectly, and even the random glass sculptures are all references to the song “Glass Onion” by the beetles. I also heard somewhere online that the guitar he’s playing when they arrive is actually a leftie guitar, and he’s playing it right handed
Speaking as someone who works at a public library and sees a lot of thrillers like the ones Harlan wrote go across the desk every day, I feel like the shots we get of his books are also a win, because they looked exactly how modern mystery thrillers cranked out by one prolific author should look.
(I also started theorizing halfway through the movie that part of Ransom's motive was that he had ghostwritten some of Harlan's books and resented going uncredited, but I was wrong on that front).
Would be an amazing character motivation for Ransom's part.
At the very least, being his research assist would maybe still make him crave credit
I'm actually glad he didn't. Spoiled brat doing spoiled brat things because no one ever told him no. One guy went as far as murdering his parents and faking horrible injuries than go to work or school.
I feel like Meg was really the only one in the family to actually care. You can see in the background of one of the last shots that she is talking to a cop and is in shock most likely due to Ransom plot being told to her
She does care... She just cares about maintaining her lifestyle more, when the chips are down.
her name is the only one placed directly under the light of the lamp during the interviews. She's better than the rest, but still impacted by her surroundings.
I took that shock to mean that she learned of Fran's death, as she was also her friend
@@matthewhearn9910 not really... she was forced into it by the rest of the family
@@lilyofluck371 Forced how? Physically? That doesn’t look likely. Legally? She is an adult in college. The consequences to her not making that call were the same as what she was facing as a result of the will: being cut off from her family’s wealth. She made a decision that most of us would make in her shoes, and regretted it which is to her moral credit and is why I like to imagine Marta still helped her with college, but it was still her decision to agree to make that call.
I can't believe they didn't point out the blade was positioned across Harlan's throat as he was talking about Ransom. Beautiful foreshadowing.
Knives Out was one of the most pleasantly surprising and enjoyable films I’ve watched in a while.
The second one, Glass Onion, is a romp. You'll love it.
Same, I watched it in school for our Crime Fiction unit and the whole class was on edge. Every lesson I'd be surprised. I did not expect to be so invested.
Regarding the dropped-tray trope: I was holding a baby when I found out that I had won a skating competition and did that same kind of half drop-fumble thing. It was out of excitement instead of fear but on the other hand it was also an actual living child instead of a cup of coffee… So yes, it seems entirely reasonable to me that startled emotions can make you drop what you are holding (Also, sorry to the kid and boy was I glad his parents continued to hire me as a babysitter😂)
It did feel more like Meg was forced into calling Marta. She didn't seem happy to be doing it. She looked downright miserable.
And the way they are all standing right there watching her... yeah. They "decided" it would be best if Meg call her... or maybe Meg might not get her share. Which is odd as no one is getting a share at this point. But you know that's how they all think.
Meg clearly didn't like hurting Marta and that's what makes the betrayal all the more sad
And yet...... She did it.
@@ferrous719 Never had a pushy family like that, huh? You have any idea how hellish her life would have been if she said no?
They're all there with her. Violence from those people is NOT out of the question.
yeah but she also told them about martas undocumented mom, which nobody else in the family knew about. the point of the movie is that everyone in the thrombey family is a little awful in some way, and meg isn't an exception.
9:42 counterpoint: it's not a sliver of Harlan that loves being in a murder mystery; this is the most fun he has had in his entire life
Genuinely one of my favourite movies. And Glass Onion was lots of fun too. I love this concept of grab an ensemble cast, make it a very loose anthology series, and Rian essentially creating modern day Agatha Christie stories, but ones that were made for film, and that only truly work because every shot and scene are filmed in a way that kind of fill you in as you go, but that only make sense when all put together. It’s extremely smart filmmaking and they are just incredibly fun to watch. Having enjoyed both of the Knives Out stories I think it’s safe to say that I’m happy to be along for the ride for as long as Rian wants to keep making them.
I think she genuinely had Harlin's best interest at heart and wasn't trying to get him to cut off his family. She was helping him try to let them grow as a person, which is what he wanted . He wanted them to be better than they were, and she gave him honest advice on how he could do that . She probably thought that they weren't the best of people, but she could see the good in each one of them ( what little there may have been)
She wouldn't have been the good person that she was if she had brought it up in an attempt to hurt them . I guarantee she noticed he was probably upset with how things were and being his friend he confided in her and she gave honest answers along with suggestions on how he might handle the situation he was in with each if them .
She also did not actually advocate him to cut them off, just to be more of an actual parent to them. She didn't know about the Will, after all.
@devak
Exactly, it wasn't so much as cutting them off as advising him how to best make them independent
23:50 fun fact, she's actually playing in the optimal way, kind of. I'm not a go player but i've heard from go players that the best strategy is not to focus on winning every little interaction, but building your board up, or "building a beautiful pattern". Someone "playing to win" might just focus on taking every piece they can, but that's not actually the way to win against good players
God, I love this movie. In my mind, a sign of a great movie is that it never feels too long and I want it to keep going for hours. Knives Out and Glass Onion are both more than 2 hour long, and they do NOT feel like it. They're so engaging and just plain fun to watch
totally agree. I've seen knives out with my mates at a movie night and we all loved it so much that we got really hyped when glass onion aired in our local cinema. Both films have a kinda different in some ways but still similar in other ways vibe and they were both very entertaining, not at last because of the phenomenal cast and fantastic camera work.
I felt the time in Glass Onion but not because it wasn’t engaging, but because I knew it was almost over and I wanted more.
These two movies are in my top 10, 100%
That my friend is what we call good pacing👍
This is one of my favorite films, I've watched it over a dozen times, I can't wait for the sequel
Same. It’s such a good movie
Absolutely. I'm counting down the days until the sequel is available on Netflix
I got lucky and managed to watch it in the cinema. It's got a very different vibe but is super good as well. Will definitely watch it again on Netflix in the earliest occasion
@@ConductiveFoam yep, I recall watching the movie in theaters, thinking it would be a average but I was really caught into it
@@ConductiveFoamI saw it in theatre, too! Such a fun movie to see with a crowd. Everyone laughed together and gasped at Marta’s vomiting 😂 Netflix is leaving a lot of money on the table by pulling Glass Onion out of theatre after only 1 week.
I saw this movie for the first time at a viewing on my college campus. I went in alone with no expectations, just wanting to fill in an open evening. And this movie... blew. My. Mind. Instant favorite. I left in a cloud of awe and immediately called everyone to rave about it. On break, I sat my whole family down to watch it. Still one of my favorites.
What I liked about this movie was that even though Marta being an illegal immigrant was a fairly significant plot point/character detail, it never seemed to do any political grandstanding about immigration in America. It was only used to further show how scummy the family was.
Also, if you like this movie, you all should watch Columbo.
Marta is not illegal, her mother is....
Columbo for life
It's not that Marta was an illegal immigrant, it's that her mother was. Marta did live in the states legally.
@@Wolfen5207 my point is the same
It was nice that the creators relegated their politics to subtle jabs(notice the worst people are more right wing) rather than blatantly hammering us with them. It still annoyed me that an otherwise excellent movie would try to slip politics into the mix. At least it was somewhat believable and done well.
In the first shot of Marta holding the mug and looking down on the family, she is covering the three sentences with her fingers. I found this symbolic of her keeping the house for herself and not sharing it with the Thrombeys.
She's covering TWO of the lines. The one left visible, naturally, is "My House".
for some people the poster actually spoiled it because they made chris evans' character the same size on the poster as marta and harlan, instead of the other poster where everyones standing in a line with only harlan in the centre
Love this movie. Sent me on a mystery movie binge when I first watched it years ago. So excited for Glass Onion.
Having seen Glass Onion, let me assure you, you WILL NOT be disappointed.
Can't wait to see your coverage of Glass Onion -- one of the rare times when a sequel genuinely stacks up to the original.
This is the only movie I've seen that feels like it's over in seconds - every shot has a reason and a meaning behind it. Everything is purposeful and it means I could watch it again and again
That 'gate weave' is built into aftereffects as the "wiggle" command. It randomly moves a number of pixels over a number of seconds(or fractions there of), commonly applied to the entire frame to give a sense of 'energy' to the shot. If you see the frame jiggling subtly (and it happens more than you realize, look for it and you wont be able to unsee it) but there is no parallax change (caused by the lenses changing perspective due to their moving position in space) then its a digital wiggle added in post. Want to make your personal video projects not look so locked off and flat? Add a wiggle(5,7) to the XY position in AE ;)
what do you mean by parallax change?
@@sydnamon5986 That's going to be a hard one to describe, since parallax requires either one lens to shift or one of two eyes to close in the strictest definition of "parallax"; I assume @Mandi is referring to the non-presence of an oscillating back-and-forth, but I might be misconstruing. It's... *a mystery*
@@sydnamon5986 Parallax is the effect you see when looking out a train window, where distant objects seem to be moving by much more slowly than closer ones. What Mandi is talking about here is that, if the "wiggle" is created at the time of filming, the nearer objects will wiggle a lot more than far ones, because the camera lens is actually moving in 3D space. But a video editing program only sees each frame it as a flat 2D image, so it will apply the same the amount of wiggle for every pixel in the frame, regardless of whether that pixel is part of a mountain in the distance or the actor's jacket in the foreground.
@@madaemon oh! that makes so much more sense! thanks!
My sister got my mom to watch this a couple of weeks ago and she pretty quickly figured out who the bad guy was 😂 we can’t have her watch mysteries, she’s really good at being detective lol. My sister and I already saw the movie, it was hard not to say “yes, your right mom” when mom guessed who it was when it was half way into the movie
A lot of people suspected Ransom, but the real question is… did she figured out WHY he’s the bad guy? To me, that’s what makes this movie stand out from other mysteries. It’s not hard to think that Ransom’s the most likely candidate, but after the movie reveals that it was “Marta”, it muddies the water a lot.
It’s no longer about who killed him, it’s about how is Benoit going to figure it out.
surprisingly she figured out part of it, that he swapped out the meds and guessed a lot of it, she's very good at figuring out based on clues etc, she just didn't know why he did it till he revealed it at the end. everything else she guessed correctly lol. she never just 'suspects' people in mysteries lol.
+1 win at 18:37 for Linda eyeing the ball the dog had in its mouth, the same ball Don threw out of Harlan’s study window at the beginning of the movie. You can see the gears turning from the look on her face, knowing where it must have come from.
This movie has great Dark Academia aesthetics...and the clothing is pure autumn/winter wishlist!
I studied crime fiction at the start of this year, and we watched this film as part of it. For the first time in maybe five years, I was genuinely surprised by the twists. I hadn't watched or read anything I couldn't predict in ages (not including those really bad twists where they reveal new information two seconds before they figure it out) so Knives Out was amazing. Especially when I watch this, and the smaller details are pointed out, everything from the light reflections to the refilmed scenes based off of each perspective was so well thought out.
I absolutely adore this movie, and every single cast member was perfect for their part. I really hope there is some sort of sequel. I think that
I especially love how Jamie Lee Curtis and Chris Evans can play genuine sweet hearts, a bad ass ,or a bad guy, and they are believable as all 3 .
There is another: Glass Onion. It's a sequel in the sense that it follows Benoit Blanc. The Thrombeys don't pop up again.(As far as I know since I've not watched it yet.)
@Peterchu
I found it right after I posted this . I hate that I went all that time wishing for another one, and it was already available lol
Have you seen “Everything Everywhere all at once”? Because it’s a really good and Oscar winning (if you care about that) movie with Jamie Lee Curtis in it
@@VictoriaStarratt
I actually got to see it recently. I adore that movie too
I think what makes Evans so good as the villain is the meta-association we (the audience) with him and Captain America. Even when he becomes SO suspicious, you want the twist to be that’s he’s actually good. To take a little more cynical look, it’s probably a case of Remarkable White Guy syndrome.
The fact that Marta just did everything right with the medication, that night and the moment she heard it from Benoit just killed me
This movie really stands the test of time and I am so exited for Glass onion.
Fun fact if you missed it, the statue props at the beginning of the film foreshadow’s the testimonies of the family members
Meg was such an interesting character because unlike the rest of the family she does seem to care for Marta. She fully embraces Marta, helps her with the panic attacks etc. It did feel like her family was manipulating her, especially her mother. When she said Meg wouldn't be able to go to school without the inheritance I was kinda pissed. She's somewhat of a good person being used by her family.
How much of it was caring about her and how much was simply Marta being the only one remotely close to her age at Family Functions except Jacob
- the actresses are 8 years apart, the in age, characters maybe 10 (but I'd argue closer with Marta being several years younger than Ana, while Megan was closer 20, making her only 2-3 years younger than Katherine)
I always liked Ana de Armas, but this movie made me fall in love with her. Not just because she's absolutelly stunning, but because she makes you FEEL for her, no matter the character.
And too see her in this and then in No Time to Die... what completely different characters and somehow also similar. With Paloma being so nervous about her first big assignment and drinking to try and calm herself and in this being so nervous all the time. Just a weird thought I had. She's so good at really selling a character's emotions.
@@mycroft16 Funny enough Paloma was the only interesting thing in No Time To Die. Ana used her limited time well.
@@mycroft16 she’s great in War Dogs too
My friend ran a TTRPG for us based on the movie, and I (without watching the movie before) picked The Nurse as my character. She actually had me roll to see if I’d actually noticed the meds being switched, and I was very pleased to get the possibility where my character Clara is “a good nurse”. It was all super fun to play and made me really excited to watch the movie, even knowing the twist
I’ll never forget watching this movie for the first time. Such a awesome experience. The whole cast is amazing but Daniel Craig knocked it out of the park!
That shot at the end of Marta in the house with the mug...pure perfection!
I watched this one recently with my girlfriend, and during the reading of the will, I thought Ransom was just there to partake in any schadenfreude that might occur, but my gf immediately said "he knew this was coming".
Gonna hijack the win count and give one to her for having him pegged as in cahoots based purely on facial expression, which is a win for America's Ass and his stellar acting.
The grip this movie had on me the first time two hours went by so quick
The acting in this movie was on point, I was so immersed the whole time
Woof Spider-Man lotus pfp
My favorite moment is right at the end before they go to the credits. Marta’s standing on the terrace, looking down over everyone. Then she brings up the coffee mug we saw in the beginning to take a sip, and the last words we see are “my house” on the mug.
Just rewachted this film again last week. I loved it the first time, I love it even more now. The dialogue, the feeling that you get while watching the movie that each frame holds a mystery or rather a clue is very apparent and yet so subtle. The music, the composition, the fact that every actor is going all-in and seems to be having a blast while doing so... Low key one of my favorite movies of all time.
Can't wait to watch the sequel, I could watch Craig playing Blanc all day.
You know I don't think I sung Chris Evan's enough in this movie for his performance. Seriously the dude played a superhero for over 10 years and he perfectly captures"rich D-bag" with absolute ease. Dude's seriously talented, also props to Rian's stellar direction. The man ALWAYS knows how to get the best performance from his actors.
A handful of prop wins... The painting during the family interviews shows a trunk of clothes with a skull, showing their skeletons in the closet, the painting on the left prior to the will reading showing a man holding his head in the hands, showing Harlan really killed himself, the model eyes behind Harlan when he lectures Linda's husband, and in the restaurant, Ransom has four beers and a red mixed drink, patterning his growlers and the one that was lit ablaze.
The opening shot with the house put me in mind of an old BBC series called Johnathan Creek. It's about a magician's assistant who helps the police solve 'magical' crimes - body in locked room sort of thing. Well worth checking out if you can find it.
Jonathan Creek was such an awesome series. Great mysteries,great cast and the whole ambiance just...magical! Totally recommend!
1:02 a shout-out to the "Sleuth" movie of 1972.
3:36 Thank you! Not many people recognise her, and she deserves much more.
7:37 Not a "thriller inside a whodunit", more like "howcatchum inside a whodunit".
12:59 Totally unrelated, but I don't ever untie my laces. I've bought stretching ones specifically so that I don't have to untie them. I hate it SO much.
18:40 Yes, this is perfect! 5 wins for that is a legally required minimum.
20:24 Here I disagree. Blanc is definitely the smartest in the room, followed by Marta, and then by Ransom. Marta is way smarter than she looks, but Blanc is a bona fide genius. Sure, it was her who finally caught Ransom, but without her help... no, Blanc will get him eventually.
smart, clever, observant. they are all different. Blanc is observant. he notice the blood drop and does background research beforehand. this gives him more information to work with than anyone else. but he's slow moving and doesn't understand things intuitively. "i see gravities rainbow, DEDUCE it's terminus..." he has to do that work.
Ransom is clever. he comes up with novel ideas quickly. after marta tells him about the switch. he quickly pivots to a double black mail and the "dumbest car chase." clever tends to be stubborn and self centered though. he had to stay involved when marta would likely confess with out him.
Marta(and Harlan) is smart. She understands that Walt wouldnt have the resources to protect her (or come after her). she pauses and thinks through all the implications of leaving Fran alone and still chooses to help. as well as how to play go well. it's hard man. but smart tends to lack initiative. she doesn't push on anything until some else push her. both with the inheritance and with all the murder mystery stuff.
@@bobdiedtwice1620 It's not enough to be observant to figure out the whole story within seconds after reading the tox report.
More like a thriller/howcatchum inside a who-Donut... that turns out to be a smaller who-Donut.
Same! I hate having to tie my shoes everyone I put them on
Can we get an Everything Great About A Muppet Christmas Carol, pleeeeeeaaaaaasssssse? Probably the best Christmas movie ever and definitely best Dickens adaptation.
The Jim Carrey one clears imo
Not 100% sure about the others but the first 2 times Blanc plays the piano key, is something that is intrumental to what actually happened. He played it when Linda said that Ransom left early and also when Walt said the plots popped into Harlan's head fully formed. That is how harlan was able to tell Marta exactly what to do in such a short time and well we know what happened when Ransom left
It's her shirt at 4:05.
It's a black shirt with a white outline drawing of a virginia.
"Because you are a good nurse" always makes me tear up "No matter" how many times I watch this! I also love "Benny's" line "Oh So You Think!"... 😊
So many amazing details in this movie. When the detectives first meet Ransom, he clearly says only the help calls me Hugh. Such tiny details!!
Casting Chris as Ransom was really clever. For the whole movie i didn't even thought about suspecting Ransom
Another good one with the party scene is how Richard automatically hands Marta his empty plate while talking about her. Because to him she's a servant, doesn't matter if she's a nurse.
I always love seeing "Part 1" on a video for a movie I love. I always know it's gonna be good!
On the subject of movies I love, Episode 93 of requesting The Princess Bride with Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Andre The Giant, Billy Crystal and more! My favourite movie of all time, and infinitely quotable!
I also eagerly await the EGA for that video!
He’s already posted this video before. I’m pretty sure you can still find it
An EGA video on 'The Princess Bride'? Inconcievable!
@@nicholascross3557 you are appreciated!
@@reihleoberle8702 where? Where is it?
The first time I watched this movie, I said I wanted more Benny 'donut hole' Blanc movies. Here's hoping Glass Onion does well enough to encourage a third movie!
Netflix paid for 2 sequels so there will be at least one more.
Loved the Sunshine reference! One of the best, most underrated science fiction films ever. Also my all-time favorite last shot of a movie.
Finally got round to seeing this in preparation for Glass Onion (fell ill when I first had tickets) and it immediately made my Top 10 of all time. Beautiful, charming, and somehow utterly original while being such a clear pastiche of a well-tread genre. Hoping they make as many of these as there are Christies!
My family and I all decided to watch this movie in theaters on a whim, and we loved it so much we went back to watch it again.
⬆️⬆️ Thanks For The Feedback Expect More Videos Very Soon Send a Direct Message. I Have Something For You
Gotta say, Benoit Blanc is one of my favorite characters of anything ever. I'd love to watch ten more movies of him walking around in his silly little outfits being weirly southern and cartoony.
would love if you started also subtitling the scenes you use! sometimes it is hard to hear , especially for someone who does not have English as their first language and was just reading at that point
I agree, it is especially hard when I didn't watch the movie, they don't talk as clearly as I'm used to from dubbed versions where everything is recorded very clearly
The opening scene is one of the best openings to a movie I’ve ever seen. It’s campy, it’s cliche, and yet it perfectly encapsulates the entire movie in just 1.5 minutes. (Plus the score is AMAZING)
I still think that Meg wasn't actually that bad a person in this. She shows in most of the film to be Marta's friend. The time she manipulating her she stepped away from her family and showed real pain in her speech. I think her family likely pressuring her in that instance is what forced her to betray Marta. I dunno just another thought on my 5th rewatch of the film haha
She’s the least bad of them all, but she still leeched of the family’s wealth and went along with it because she had something to lose. I believe she truly cares about Marta, but it shows how the class divide is hard to overcome.
Regardless of how bad she feels, it just shows that she is a friend as long as it doesn't require anything from her to be a friend. As soon as it does, she turns her back. That is not a good friend or ally.
Ive always thought Linda wasnt as bad as the others either. She was the one where it was extremely obvious she loved her dad, she found out her dad committed suicide, had a whole ass police investigation happen, found out she lost the house shes lived in for 40 years, during the investigation saw her husband and brother fight multiple times showing how shes often in the middle of those 2 fighting even when her fucking father dies, eventually finds out it wasnt actually suicide but her son killed her father and that her husband was cheating on her. Hell if there was ever a good reason why some of her bad traits are ok for the moment, this has to be it. The difference between her and richard also was shown immediately as she hugs marta and genuinely wants to have a convo with her while richard is more interested in his phone
@@rolef6084 Yeah, Linda, spite of all her flaws, truly loved her father. When she found the baseball she took the time to go to his office and return it to its proper place even though it all now belonged to Marta, showing that she cared for her father's belongings. And when her son is arrested, while her idiot husband tries to BRIBE the police, she just stands far away letting it happen, focusing instead on her father's last letter.
The editing in this film is wonderful. My favorite is the call-back to Ransom saying “Huh” to Marta in the restaurant, but there’s loads of examples.
Let's be real, the real star of the show was that wool sweater! I actually bought a wool sweater that looks just like it because it just looked so cozy. I love wearing it during the winter time
20:18 Fun Fact: If you have subtitles on, they actually put "stoopid"
Trust me, Harlan had a DNR. He probably had a graphic understanding of chest compressions and resuscitation and decided no way.
I absolutely love this movie and Daniel Craig’s acting. I even know the actor for Fran! (The maid at the beginning of the movie, and the one that does with the spider)
The score is SO effing good.
The opening track quickly became my most listened to track on Spotify that year.
For anybody that didn't notice it during the movie at 4:03 just look at her shirt
This has slowly become my favourite movie of all time. I love this movie.
I KNEW I RECOGNIZED THAT COP FROM SOMEWHERE, that joke about getting out opened my eyes
This movie is the reason why I don't blame Rian Johnson for the Star Wars debacle anymore. If anyone's to blame, it's the corporate leadership who didn't have the idea to think the whole trilogy out before beginning production on the first one. Rian is an excellent writer and director-this movie here, Brick, and Looper are proof of that, IMHO. I'm very much looking forward to the sequel!
8:58 I did want to mention, CPR actually isn’t giving the person O2, it’s just forcing more CO2 into the bloodstream- this tells the medulla oblongata, which can detect the drop in pH associated with high CO2, to make the lungs take in more air/oxygen to replace/ refuel the bloodstream so cellular respiration can continue.
I realized this yesterday while watching some people react to Knives Out. A reason Harlan unalived himself is so that the slayer rule would not apply to Marta and she would get the inheritance.
the funny thing is, its not even about throwing the ball and linda putting it back, if he hadnt gone through the effort of opening the locked drawer, the letter would remain in there, leaving no possible opportunity for linda to see it
I really thought I had gotten too old for celebrity crushes but then Ana de Armas started showing up everywhere. My God she is amazing!
1:15 while not a tray, I have dropped things from being surprised
also at 10:05 in the scene where Marta has her flashback Blanc ask her if Harlan seemed different that night acting strange she answers with no but faintly you can hear her stomach make a noise, technically yes he was not acting different or strange because he wasn't planning on killing himself but his reaction and the answer from Marta was still enough to make her stomach reacts as if she was lying
maybe it was just an actor stomach acting up but if not i think its a nice touch!
At one point while watching this film (the last one I saw in a theater before the lockdown!) I remember thinking, “Huh, I wonder why that little moment reminded me of _The Brothers Bloom_ “ and my next thought was, “Duh.”
Loved the storytelling style.
Same. It also had wonderful camerawork and cinematography
Dude the attention to detail you have for these movies is insane. You literally made me love this movie even more than I did already. (Side note how do you know all sorts of actual information in real life do you just look it up or do you do a lot of research?)
Please, please do Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. It is such a good movie. It's really underrated, and needs the EGA treatment.
I really loved the little detail of Marta having a cracked phone screen, it says a lot about her character
I don't mind the re-uploads since you point it out in the description. My memory isn't so great so I'm never 100% sure until I double check, haha. Watched it all again, thanks!
11:37 is now funny because Andrew Scott is gonna be in the third film.
I can’t wait to see the new one.
I don’t think it will be as good as the first but I’m sure it’ll be fun.
Good news: It actually is as good as the first one!
Also the fact that we know Daniel Craig prior to this was James Bond. Most who doneits are of classical British detectives. Sherlock homes, Agatha Christie. This movie is setting up to be inspired by that gentleman detective genre. Even Benoit Blanc sounds regal and fancy. But the second he speaks and has that southern drawl. It's a misdirect within a misdirect. Daniel Craig NAILEd this character and I hope this role becomes his legacy
I love that this film has a double twist
