Ben shapiro: “we are misdirected in the first half of the film and that sucks” Thats the fucking point

[@NessaH]

I cannot believe he said that Jesus Christ

[@nailinthefashion]

Literally like I guess there is supposed to be so mystery in films anymore???

[@aeiou_ena]

Unfortunately it seems most people either zoned out or skipped English class in high-school and can't comprehend experiencing a story except for the most in your face meanings and themes. It seems it's gotten to the point most people expect a story to just outright tell you what it wants you to get, instead of leaving things up for interpretation, harboring discussions or just... yknow God forbid trying to get the viewer to think for half a second. So when a piece of media does this people get upset and say it's bad.

[@tapefiend]

The hilarious part to me is that in proclaiming that Birdie would become a celebrated SJW for whistle-blowing on Miles, Ben missed a significant criticism of certain aspects of activism Twitter; Birdie would be celebrated, hailed as the new queen for a week or so, then someone would find out about the sweatshops and everyone would be falling all over themselves to tear her down and proclaim they never liked her.

[@crestren5996]

Even outside of that scenario, why would Birdie turn on Miles? It was very clear in the movie that Birdie knows she screwed up agreeing with the sweatshop because she thought a sweatshop meant they were making sweatpants.

[@erikdaniels0n]

“Oh my god, Birdie, don’t tell me you thought sweatshops where…. Where they made sweatpants”

[@MrBorderlandsguide]

@Ville To repeat myself from my other comment: I really hope you're a bot otherwise you spend way too much time and energy going out of your way to try and bother progressives. I have seen you on far too many channels I follow in so many comments. This level of obsession on your part is incredibly unhealthy and I hope you can get the help you need to move on with your life and be a better person.

[@christianwise637]

Exactly, Birdie's newfound status as a celebrated 'social justice warrior' would be over the second the sweatshop thing gets brought up again and her career would be back in the toilet. Ben and his ilk have consistently proven they have no idea how people outside their little community act online, hence why they have to resort to their hypothetical versions of progressives in order to dunk on them. Also, another thing that Ben got wrong in his thread - the film's script repeatedly states that the sweatshops are based in Bangladesh, NOT Malaysia

Miles coerced the entire supporting cast into committing perjury, and then killed the only one of them that threatened to out him. Ben had to have completely ignored the plot for him to not understand why nobody stood up against him.

Dis/liking a movie is perfectly valid (this style of mystery isn't for everyone and I despise nonlinear storytelling), but both the political and the narrative criticism on his part are ridiculously weak.

[@shizachan8421]

Its because deep down, Ben is hurt and anxious about the fact that he wasn't born as an anglo-saxon protestant of the purest of aryan breed, which is a pain he has to lash onto others.

[@natbatrat-d7e]

so following his reasoning, rian johnson can’t criticize elon musk because he never built a rocket… and yet ben shapiro is criticizing rian johnson having never written and directed a film. hmmm interesting train of thought, benward.

Someone may have already pointed this out, but miles wasn't even written to be based off of musk specifically! just the general concept of those tech billionaires who have way too much money, and have mostly stolen or lucked their way into extreme wealth. According to rian johnson, focusing too hard on one specific person made it boring. So really, the fact that everyone watched this movie and immediately thought it was about elon is WAY more telling about his behaviour, especially if even the elon lovers see him in the character of miles

[@christianwise637]

That will never fail to crack me up, the idea that Musk's biggest supporters watched the film, saw this techbro villain turn out to be the biggest dumbass imaginable, and then proceeded to say "yep, that's papa Elon"

Ben Shapiro says "Facts don't care about your feelings," but he (and his followers) seem to think that his own feelings ARE facts. If you surround your feelings with certain words and say those words very quickly in an irritating voice, they just BECOME facts, apparently.

[@gothgirlglittercrust7118]

Ben was really going in expecting a marvel movie I swear.

[@yoohsuke]

I agree so hard with this- they are interestingly made and still don't betray the "you could hypothetically solve it yourself" aspect. One could - hypothetically - come up with the solution in glass onion before the reveals. The hints are there. Or at least, in retrospect, you see where you could've picked up on one (for me in knives out, I watched glass onion first). Nothing irks me more than mysteries where everything is solved by BBC Sherlock super powers offscreen

[@davidbaker6157]

There’s probably a little more to it than that (as some other comments here have shown) BUT, to your point, I will say that it reminds me of the reaction the superhero genre gets. You know, how “good” superhero movies are good because they sprinkled in other genres on top and/or played with/eschewed the tropes associated with the genre (i.e. they’re good DESPITE being superhero films not because they are). It’s just kind of annoying because ALL genres have their tropes and conventions and I’ve never seen one get so ripped apart as the superhero genre. Sorry, tangent over, I just seemed like a good place to bring it up and it goes with the overall argument we’re all trying to make here that REAL criticism needs to make a comeback.

I also like how Ben talks as if Elon was the one sitting down and going through the equations or penciling the blueprints for the rocket. Like, he just threw his money at the people who could and then he gets all the credit. Money that was passed down from his parents and very luckily invested. Recent news with Twitter should show that Elon has no clue what he's doing.

Yeah it's funny to me that Ben instantly assumes its directed at Elon, when actually it's just a commentary on the rich and ruling class in general. I don't think Miles was meant to be anyone specifically, the whole point of his character was he stole ideas and imitated others because he never had original thoughts himself. We see in a flashback he was copying the Steve Jobs look at one point, but Ben didn't jump on that. The fact Ben related Miles to Elon so quickly is telling in itself ;P

The thing I love about how Shabibo hyperfocused on Elon Musk getting made fun of is that Miles' character is not solely based off of him. He's an "entrepreneur" techbro billionaire that lie, cheat and takes credits from other people and uses that to their success. Theres Zuckerberg, Elizabeth Holmes and most recently Bankman. It just so happens with the release of GO, Elon Musk has been continously in the news cycle for his poor decisions after buying off Twitter and how he is poorly managing and losing profits off of the platform he spent $44 billion on. Its a self-own that the immediate person Ben thought of Miles, a billionaire who lies, steals and manipulates people, was Elon Musk.

What motivated me to watch Glass Onion is the same thing that motivated me to watch Nope. I was fine not watching either for a while, but seeing a thread from someone who doesn't understand plot or filmmaking pushed me to actually see each movie so I can read the thread afterward. It's wild to watch them and see little to no issue, having a great experience watching the films just to remember someone out there made a whole thread not getting it.

Honestly, my only real issue with the movie was I wish there was a little more hinting that Blanc and Andi were working together, if only for the pacing to flow a little better. Then that big exposition dump (after we all think she was killed) could have moved a little faster, but other than that I really loved the movie.

[@SadistModeOn]

That there was some kind of relationship between Blanc and "Andi" was actually about the only thing I picked up on before the big twin reveal! He was always asking where she was and seemed concerned about her (even while other people were assuming she killed Duke). Of course I didn't suspect that she wasn't really Andi or that they were working together so closely, but it definitely seemed like they had some prior connection.

[@Vorloks]

On a second and 3rd rewatch I clocked plenty of moments where the audience could easily figure out the misdirection before the movie tells you, at the beginning we see Helen with the box in a setting that makes it seem like she’s moving someone’s things, you see miles poison the glass, and the detective even calls the twin Helen not Andi before the flashback so its not like they were telling a different mystery and then pivoted

[@neobonney]

[@Peace_And_Love42]

The lack of self awareness in the statement "How many rockets has Johnson launched?", while failing to ask one's self "How many mystery movies have I made?" is just beautiful. Critique does not require first-hand, identical experience, which seems to be the concept Benny is putting forward. If that was the case, nobody would ever be able to legitimately criticize anyone or anything.

[@Miroslava_Ivanova]

I love how the timing worked out, Glass onion coming out after months of the Twitter fiasco just proved Rian's point very clearly. Also, BS seems entirely unaware of the concept of mutually assured destruction, if the shitheads turned on Miles, people would turn on them for being on his side in the trial (deservedly, ofc). Also also, having tropes in a work of fiction is basically inevitable, there's nothing inherently wrong with using them, especially in a genre so defined by its tropes.

[@intergalactic92]

One thing I do really appreciate is that you never once say he has to like Glass Onion or agree that it’s good (because we are all allowed to not like something), you're just taking down his seriously bad takes.

The best part about these "anti-Elon Musk" bad takes is that the script was written before Musk made a fool of himself buying and running Twitter (to the ground).

The thing is, it is one of the better mystery movies. One where one could come up with the solution before the reveal, hypothetically. I didn't, but I can appreciate that there were hints. And it was still done in a very interesting way, there was a huge payoff, at least for me when everything fell into place and made sense. Personally, I would look forward to another installment. I like Daniel Craig's detective. More than a BBC Sherlock where you cannot try to come up with anything because everything relevant is being done of screen by cool Sherlock powers

I personally think Ben was mad because he made the incorrect assumption that Benoit Blanc was meant to be more of an audience surrogate (probably because he incorrectly thinks he’s as smart as a world class detective), and when it’s revealed that Blanc was a mastermind pulling his own strings the audience didn’t get to see he was pissed that he was wrong. Also it’s easy to see the direct parallel to Elon Musk because the movie was unintentionally released at the perfect time when Elon’s publicly outing himself as the idiot he actually is, but Miles’ character is a critique of billionaires as a whole. I saw more references to Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs and a bunch of the crypto scammers than just Elon Musk. I personally didn’t love the movie as much on my first viewing as I did on my second watch because I was expecting more of a mystery movie with twists and turns and was disappointed I didn’t get that, but once I realized that was the point of the movie it was way more fun the second time. I fell right into the trap the movie set up, looking for something complex when it was clear the whole time. I love that Johnson loves the mystery genre so much that he knows how to use and bend the traditional murder movie tropes enough to keep it fresh and he rewards people for paying attention.

Re: the twin argument - Another good example I can think of is Christopher Nolan's The Prestige. **spoilers** It was not revealed until the end of the movie that the famed magic trick was done with a twin the whole time. It also re-contextualized all the interactions between the characters. It's very familiar to Glass Onion, too, because Michael Caine's character suggested that the trick was just done with a twin but the idea was rejected. The "twist" was also a glass onion, the simple explanation but the audience was misdirected and thought too much of what was apparent. I think Ben was just mad that he got tricked, felt dumb, and blamed it on bad writing.

My favorite part of the conservative meltdown around this movie is they’re actually telling on themselves on who they associate miles with. Especially knowing this was written specifically in 2020 well before the entire mess that is now twitter unfolded. Also the fact that their tunnel vision is so narrow they don’t seem to get the very obvious parallels between Miles and other billionaires, I.E. the napkin photo being a direct ripoff of the infamous photo of Elizabeth Holms promoting theranos, his black t-shirt and jeans was Steve Job’s uniform, the company he owns “Alpha” is much closer to Amazon than Elon’s three separate companies, and Richard Branson’s private island. If you came out of that movie thinking Elon was the only source of inspiration for the “billionaire myth” character that’s actually more telling about you than it is about the movie. 😂
