Glass Onion Movie Reaction

[@stephen9637]

I only noticed on a rewatch that the musical clue in the invitation box is also directly telling us the structure of the film. “A fugue is a beautiful musical puzzle… layered back over itself it starts to change and turns into a … new structure.” When Helen/Andi is shot, the story also loops back onto itself and changes what we already saw to show a new and different meaning when it replays the same scenes.

[@m.e.3862]

As explained by yo yo ma!😊

[@RolandDeschain1]

Jessica Henwick as Peg is so damn adorable in this. One of my favourite little details in this is the brief shot where she's writing her name on the red solo cup. It's a great subtle visual gag.

[@richb313]

A mystery so well crafted you don't even realize everything has already been revealed.

[@FBodStudios]

My favorite part of this movie is Janelle Monae at the end, looking at the camera with a perfect little Mona Lisa smile.

[@DavidB-2268]

Rian Johnson didn't want it to say "a Knives Out mystery". That was a decision made by the studio. Hopefully for the next one it'll just say "a Benoit Blanc mystery".

[@DariusFrench6273]

“So dumb it’s brilliant.” Sums up this entire movie more than I can put in a thousand words and I love that 😂

[@CedricBassman]

I just love how offended Benoit got by that sentence. 🤣

[@elbruces]

*NO!* IT'S JUST DUMB!

[@harish123az]

Err, except 1) There is noting dumb about the movie, its an excellently crafted movie 2) You are NOT supposed to agree with the statement, there is a reason the dumbest character in the movie made that statement and Blanc was offended So let me quote Benoit Blanc here who actually use the "so dumb its brillaint' line unironically, - This comment is just dumb

[@Dicond]

Great reaction, and I gotta say, I can't decide which I like more, the wavy hair of the previous few vids or this hair. You look great regardless, looking forward to all your future reactions.

[@VADallasCowboysFan]

Okay Rosé lol nice pairing with the movie

[@TheOnlyDrFilm]

This was a great reaction video 😆 Glad you had a great time 👍 Also did you notice that he dressed like Tom Cruise from the movie Magnolia? 25:17

[@snorpenbass4196]

Technically he dressed as Steve Jobs (so did Andi in one of the flashbacks). But Tom Cruise's character is partly a parody of Steve Jobs, and it's possible Miles only ever watched Magnolia and had no clue about Jobs.

[@halohalo929]

I believe the whole “knives out mystery” tag was just for market ability. I’m pretty many people remember the character of Benoit Blanc. But I don’t think most would necessarily remember his name. The movie title on the other hand that has much better name recognition.

[@laluneodyssee4404]

Janelle Monae was a standout, so good

[@arandomnamegoeshere]

Rewatch is fun - see all the little hints that you overlooked the first time but you can catch now that you know what you're looking for.

[@stueymon]

That's not actually how the Mona Lisa would burn as it's actually painted onto a panel of wood rather than canvas

[@davidkeye9334]

Rian Johnson didn't like that it had the knives out sub title. That was the studio's idea.

[@FrancesW-]

It's a little off since it is an unrelated story, but I get why they did it. There was probably way more name recognition from Knives Out than Blanc. That might be less true next time, but the precedent is set. We'll see.

[@JackOiswatching]

I really enjoyed Bautista and Janelle Monae in this flick, I hope to see more of them both in future stuff!

[@andre1999o]

Fun fact: Miles' self-portrait is actually Edward Norton's face on Brad Pitt's body in Fight Club.

[@godricbarbarossa8001]

I'll admit that when I first say it I thought it was a reference to Madonna saying Alex Rodriguez has a portrait of himself as a centaur.

[@mikebrown7799]

Hi Angela!🙂The twin sister is really something I think could not be predicted. Janelle Monet was excellent! I was worried this film would ruin my "Knives Out" experience, but I was pleasantly surprised. They are definitely dropping the "Knives Out" name due to its popularity. I do enjoy Daniel Craig better in thos role, than James Bond. I did enjoy this film MORE than "Knives Out". I think I enjoyed the island location better for a mystery. I didn't notice until this watching that Duke was going to say "Andi's house", when Miles stopped him and said "Anderson Cooper's" instead, when he was discussing Miles almost running into him.

[@flaggerify]

That was Ethan Hawke? I missed that.

[@jpdiana8985]

Can you react to Poker Face..Rian Johnson’s new tv show?

[@kerouac.jackson]

My only issue with these films is my own jaded viewing habits where I assume that in a murder mystery, the murderer will turn out to be the biggest name actor in the film (besides the detective). So I guessed from the start that Chris Evans would turn out to be the murderer in Knives Out and that Ed Norton would turn out to be the murderer in this one. It's just habit from years of tv/film watching. But I had no idea how or why so watching that unfold is still entertaining.

[@curtisbme]

I'd say Jamie Lee Curtis is a bigger star than Chris Evans (who is really only broadly known for Captain America) especially when it comes to murder shows (and is currently nominated for an Oscar). And when was Ed Norton a lead in anything of note? Incredible Hulk 15 yeas ago? He is an actor that has been around for a while but is not the biggest star in that group currently, especially not with younger audiences. Dave Batista and Katherine Hahn currently have much more attention.

[@kerouac.jackson]

@@curtisbme As with everyone, that's my subjective opinion. Knives Out came out right after Endgame so I thought of Evans as the biggest name at the time. As for Edward Norton, it depends who has seen his films. American History X and Fight Club left deep impressions on me, and I had seen Birdman, Moonrise Kingdom, and The Grand Budapest Hotel somewhat recently before watching Glass Onion so maybe that also affected my opinion.

[@AshleyFWilson]

If you haven't seen the film Pulp Fiction, that would be a great one to do!

[@BGTitanAvatar]

A detail I love is that Miles explaining his Disruption Theory is basically telling the audience how this movie ends. “If you want to shake things up, you start with something small. But you go with things that people are kind of tired of anyway. Will you break more things? Bigger things? Are you willing to break the thing that nobody wants you to break? Because at that point people are not going to be on your side. But that is what true disruption is.” Helen starts with the little pointless glass statues. The others start cheering for her and joining in. Then she starts breaking other things like the bar, and the others start getting skittish. Then, of course, it all leads up to the big thing. The Mona Lisa. And everything calls out for her to stop. But of course, Helen being the true Disrupter of the movie, does not stop.

[@fedos]

Rian Johnson fought to keep the name as just Glass Onion, but Netflix thought audiences would be too stupid to realize that it's a connected film.

[@minimaltrace]

To be fair, for the american market, they are not wrong.

[@NatrixHasYou]

The guy talking about Bach at Kate Hudson's party is Yo Yo Ma, probably the most famous cellist in the world. Joseph Gordon-Levitt did the sound of the Hourly Dong. Stephen Sondheim, Natasha Lyonne, Angela Lansbury, & Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were the people he was playing Among Us with in the beginning. This one had a lot of fun cameos!

[@theprimo100]

I've only ever seen him on Arthur, so I didn't recognize him when he wasn't a bunny.

[@KBTibbs]

These aren't just random cameos. Angela Lansbury was Jessica Fletcher a detective for 12 seasons of "Murder, She Wrote". Natasha Lyonne is in Rian Johnson's TV show "Poker Face" as a detective. Stephen Sondheim is a noted lover of puzzles and would concoct huge and elaborate murder mysteries and scavenger hunts for his friends. He also co-wrote "The Last of Shiela" a fantastic 1973 whodunnit movie that directly inspired the bones of Glass Onion (a man invites his friends to a weekend of mystery game and it ends in murder). And Kareem Abdul-Jabbar... Not going to lie, I have nothing for why he was there.

[@jaives]

also RIP to Stephen and Angela who both died in the last two years.

[@AshleyG24601fan]

Kareem Abdul Jabbar published a novel about Sherlock Holmes' brother Mycroft, that's why he's in the movie. He loves detective stuff. I didn't know that until people kept explaining it in comment sections, so I'm passing it on too lol.

[@wrytar7717]

This movie is so well-crafted. The details you can spot when you watch the movie again are insane. Not only stuff like Miles handing Duke his glass before lying about it. For example, when he looks for Andy while the lights are out, you can actually see he has Duke's gun in his hand. I don't remember the last time I had this much fun with a Whodunnit.

[@janiekramer2344]

Loved this one and the original Knives Out. Another one you might want to check out is the series Only Murders in the Building (on Hulu), starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. Great murder mystery series and it has two seasons already up. As always, I enjoy your reactions. Have you seen Clue? Rian Johnson mentioned that 1985 cult classic as one of his inspirations for the original Knives Out.

[@PaperbackWizard]

I absolutely would have preferred they call this "A Benoit Blanc Mystery" instead of "A Knives Out Mystery". I mean, "From Russia With Love" wasn't called "A Dr. No Thriller". "Temple of Doom" wasn't called "A Raiders of the Lost Ark Adventure".

[@KevinDPomeroy]

You should definitely watch it again and see how obvious the clues are when you actually know what to be looking for. One of my favorite things in the movie is Miles definition of disruptors speech. He goes on about the true disruption is going so far to cross the line disrupt the one thing that no one wants to messed with. Which is exactly what happens in the movie, the destroying of the Mona Lisa was the line that was too far for all of the other characters to be on board.

[@elbruces]

And remember what she did to the box.

Thanks for all the great content, you're always a joy to watch.

[@kaboshireacts]

A small detail I think a lot of people overlook is Miles not only stole Blonc's idea. He took another idea from I believe Lionel? When he asked why kept it and didn't burn it or something xD.

[@Maastrichian]

Daniel Craig is one of my absolute favorite actors. Oddly, I did not really know much about him until Cowboys vs Aliens (I adore well crafted "bad" sci fi flicks), and have watched about everything of his since. But this... Benoit Blanc is my favorite character of his, hands down. Also, for you Archer fans out there, I cannot help but say THAT word after I hear his name....

[@benoitgauthier6998]

Kate Hudson's character is the best at being the worst

[@joeb918]

Someone probably already mentioned it, but the allusion to the lyrics from the Beatles and “glass onions” makes a lot of sense. As it’s one of those non-sense words from their psychedelic period that John intentionally put in the lyrics when he found out people were over analysing their songs. Though in johns case he was taking the piss. Miles basically is like this, but he he unintentionally just saying a lot of stupid non-sense things because he’s an idiot, but others take it as genius.

[@WolfgirlAidan]

To be fair the director doesn't like that it was called a knives out mystery either unfortunately. I think it was just a marketing thing that they pressured him into.

Yeah I enjoyed this a little more than Knives Out, if only because this one felt sillier / more fun.

Just fun and satisfying, as these things should be.

I was lucky to get to meet them when they were filming How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days in Toronto. I was in the scene where Kate first meets Matthew McConaughey. Kathryn goes up to the bar to get some drinks and makes eyes at some guy who blows her off. That was Me! Lol. Lots of fun!

[@TheFinalFanboy]

One of the fun things about this movie is that you can actually go back and watch Miles commit the murder of Duke as he does it. If you pay close attention, you can see him add the pineapple juice to his drink, you can see him stash the gun in the ice bucket, you can see him hand Duke his glass, and you can even see Duke's phone in his back pocket in a few shots. The film brushes over these, but they are all in there. The murderer is in plain sight if you're paying attention.

[@jrepka01]

When she calls the group shitheads, she's understating by a lot. Keep in mind that, though no one got a good look at the napkin before Miles burned it, everyone knows it was real because he burned it. But the real tell is that all of this happens AFTER the group learns that Miles murdered Andi and that he murdered Duke. They all know he's committed two homicides, both of them their own peers, and they still don't turn on him until they realize he's going to lose it all by being responsible for the destruction of the Mona Lisa.

[@sirjohnmara]

Great funny characters and story. A worthy successor to Knives Out! Janelle Monae's Mona Lisa smile was perfect. The Beatles' Glass Onion I heard all the time because I played the White Album all the time, so when I heard the title I figured, we'd hear that song in it somewhere, but they used the metaphor so well with it too.

Loving these Rian Johnson movies, and while they are murder mysteries, it feels like it's not meant to be solved by the viewer, while certainly there are parts that are hinted or shown to us, there's plenty that isn't as well, I feel they are less about us obsessing about trying to catch these details, and just sit back, enjoy the ride/movie. There was no hints to the twins (While Helen's hair as Andi was parted on the other side, we didn't see real Andi until after the reveal), and the part with Duke at the pool mentioning almost getting hit, in the first scene he doesn't get the "Andi" out that they show us in the review later. Noah Segan (who plays Derol) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (The voice for the Dong) Pretty much appear in all of Rian Johnson's movie in some fashion, in Knives Out Segan was one of the detectives where as once again JGL only appears as a voice, the detective in the show Marta's sister is watching at one point. I imagine others have pointed out the "Knives out Mystery" title thing, the studio sort of forced it to be recognizable, where as Rian Johnson is wanting the next one to indeed being "A Benoit Blanc Mystery". As always, enjoy the reactions.

[@snorpenbass4196]

The thing about Miles is that they don't _say_ it out loud, but...he was already rich when he met the group. He was the one with money and connections, not ideas or brains. Which fits in with a _lot_ of modern billionaires, not just the guy with electric cars (which he did not create, he bought into the company and pushed out the original creator). That the electric car guy reacted so badly to this movie was, um, self-incriminating himself, basically.

[@LordBaktor]

I found the movie entertaining enough to watch it a second time and that ruined it for me. Most of the twists have zero foreshadowing, like the twin sister one and the Deus Ex Machina of having the diary in her pocket. And then the misdirection is so blatant it borders on gaslighting the audience with the showing of different versions of the same shot at different times. I liked Knives Out and thought maybe that type of movie was Rian's strength, but this one fell really flat as soon as I thought about it just a little.

Totally bears rewatching, there's way more foreshadowing and clues than you realise or expect. I only just saw on this reaction that when Miles gets up to run away during the lights out scene, he's hiding behind the table where he stashed the gun, and when he gets up he has the gun in his hand in plain sight.

Derol (the random guy on the island) was played by Noah Segan. Noah Segan is one of the actors that is in every Rian Johnson movie ever made and, more importantly, was Trooper Wagner in Knives Out. So him just sort of being there with no explanation was kind of a joke about them just finding a way to fit him into the movie.

[@KBTibbs]

Two things. First, This movie inherits a lot from the whodunnits that came before, including "The Last of Sheila" cowritten by Stephen Sondheim (who had a cameo being on Zoom with Blanc). The movie has some... unenlightened moral stances, but is otherwise a very fun mystery. Second, I agree that it's weird that this is "A Knives Out Mystery" and apparently so does Rian Johnson. He's come out to say that any future sequels will be subtitled "A Benoit Blanc Mystery".

[@godricbarbarossa8001]

"Unenlightened moral stances" Hahaha! To me this movie was more a character study of the types of people Miles and the shitheads were more than a murder mystery. But I'm there for it.

Oh, baring the end of the world, there'll be more Benoit Blanc movies. Netflicks didn't pay $450 million for one film. And both Johnson and Craig have said they're happy to keep making these.

[@SchulzEricT]

The whole time I was watching, from the "twin sister" reveal until about... until Benoit found the envelope? I kept thinking that there was no twin sister, that the envelope was just an envelope. That Cassandra made up the idea of a twin sister to get Benoit to help her, and the envelope was a red herring to cause Miles to admit he didn't create the company, with Cassandra planning on recording him admitting it, or saying it in front of Benoit so that he could testify to that. Because, you know... a twin sister? Outlandish. Cassandra keeping the note? Outlandish. Cassandra finding the note immediately after the trial ended? Outlandish. Cassandra taking a picture of *AN ENVELOPE* and not a note? ... not outlandish, but weird. Cassandra not simply using the note to prove that Miles and ThE dIsRuPtOrS perjured themselves? Outlandish. And stupid. Why didn't she just use the note to prove they lied? I don't know if my story would've made for a better movie, but would've made a lot more sense, in my opinion.

I like the original better, but *just* a little bit, and it comes down to mostly preference. And I say that as someone who actually watched Glass Onion first and liked it enough to go watch Knives Out, so it's not just the "I'm comparing everything to the first thing I saw" bias. Glass Onion was a lot funnier and actually focused on being a fun mystery, while Knives Out felt like one giant panic attack. Glass Onion's opening scenes were a lot stronger I think, but the "My House" ending of Knives Out feels way more clever and satisfying than Glass Onion's explosion + Mona Lisa pose ending.

[@Ylyrra]

I saw them in "the wrong order" too, and I love both films. The way I describe it is Knives Out has a better story, but Glass Onion has better storytelling. Gives them a dramatically different feel while both being great.
