I would add to the other comments, she was a former slave herself who escaped and kept going back, risking recapture, to help others escape. And in addition to that, "On June 2, 1863, Harriet Tubman, under the command of Union Colonel James Montgomery, became the first woman to lead a major military operation in the United States when she and 150 African American Union soldiers rescued more than 700 slaves in the Combahee Ferry Raid during the Civil War." - Her picture can genuinely be under the definitions for hero and bravery. At some point, she is going to replace Andrew Jackson (who was not a very nice person) on the US $20.

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. As one example, it looks to us like Duke is upset over Whisky’s affair with Miles, then we learn he is actually angry because the seduction he planned is not successful. And so on… I enjoyed the technique.

29:43 The reason the movie gave for having them not suspect Miles early on is shown in the scene between Helen and Blanc on their final night before going off to the island. Miles was 'supposed' to be a genius, and Benoit firmly believed that no genius would be dumb enough to kill Cassandra. So when they started off their investigation, they focused on all the other guests first. Which is why Blanc's big revealing at the end is centered around realizing Miles isn't a genius, he's a dumbass, and therefore should be the obvious suspect again.

You're really easy to manipulate, aren't you? That breaking of stuff and the whole ending of the movie was one of the most brain-dead things in not only movie history but all history in general. Would you start 'following' someone just because they start behaving like a child and start breaking expensive and fine pieces of art for no reason? After she's been a moronic drunk, only having tantrum monologues insulting you and your friends? Not to mention after she goes full-on nuts and starts a fire, nearly killed you by blowing up the building you're in, and then burned one of the most important pieces of humankind's cultural history? After she messed up with the only piece of actual evidence against Miles, thus failing completely. And her only plan now is to go against a billionaire in court and media with her...zero bucks while he on the other hand is a billionaire CEO and owner of a multinational conglomerate, owns his own major media, has the most insane connections, has a crazy good track record of beating people in court...based on her simply making up a lie about him and trying to pin _her_ multiple severe felonies on him? Just saying: "He did it?" despite there certainly going to be evidence any local fire department's forensic investigators will find linking her and her alone to starting the fire among other things. The best part is people assuming it's realistic that Miles' friends and dependents would turn on him and switch to being on her side despite that making absolutely no logical sense. He can keep offering them everything they need to maintain their high status and wealth, and Helen can offer them absolutely nothing. No, Helen is going to jail and will never recover from this financially. While Miles just got away with two murders and two attempted murders, and will not be affected at all by whatever Ms. felony teenage tantrum art destroying Taliban will try to accuse him of. Come to think of it, I wonder if Helen will even be alive mich longer. Miles already killed her sister and got away with it, killed Duke and got away with it, and even tried to kill Helen herself and got away with it (and she would've died too if it wasn't for her magic, unrealistic bullet proof paper notebook). Now they're still on a private island with only Miles' friends who are totally dependent on him, and who aren't too bright so he could probably distract them away from her...or just do what he already did once today: kill someone in plain sight right in front of everyone and get away with it! Helen isn't a hero, and she didn't win anything.

@@pistonburner6448 I think you are mistaking the director's intention. To speak broadly, he doesn't see disruptors as good guys, he sees them as bad guys. First they break little things, people get behind them because it's fun, it feels good. Then they break something big, important, people are shocked. Then the disruptor breaks the system, and nobody wanted that. but there Mile's is, with his crossed fingers. Helen breaks the little glass, everyone joins in, Helen breaks Liberace's piano, everyone is shocked, Helen destroys the Mona Lisa, and NO ONE wanted that piece of cultural heritage gone. Helen gets a break from everyone for killing the system just because she's wild with grief and anger over her twin being murdered. But it's essentially an act of insanity. And Benoit wound her up and let her go, because he morally washed his hands of the whole damn lot of them left in the house. I think he got Daryl out intentionally, it's not a mistake they're well back from the house. Because Darol is an innocent man. Benoit and Helen didn't know how big the possible explosion or fire from the solidified hydrogen would be. They couldn't know. Both of them had accepted a gamble of everyone including Helen dying or no-one dying, and the hydrogen fire being a minor thing like a momentary stove top fire. Benoit would have watched them all burn to death with grief for Helen and a somber satisfied rage over the 'disruptors'. Even Peg isn't excluded from being a bad person. She appears nice, she thinks she's nice, but she's making her money from the most morally repugnant and socially dangerous person there apart from Miles, instead of getting out.

March 1822 - March 10, 1913) was an American abolitionist, social activist, and revolutionary. After escaping enslavement, Tubman made some 13 missions to rescue approximately 70 enslaved people, including her family and friends, using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. During the American Civil War, she served as an armed scout and spy for the Union Army. In her later years, Tubman was an activist in the movement for women's suffrage." There was a movie about her in 2019 that I'd be interested in seeing you react to. 12:16 - That scene reminds me of two great Jacques Tati movies, MON ONCLE (1958) and PLAYTIME (1967).

A Knives Out Mystery (spoiler free) The 2019 original Knives Out and the 2022 sequel Glass Onion are rewatchable films. Unlike other movies in the “whodunit” (murder) genre, the reveals enhanced rewatch experience as subtle clues became obvious. The director (Rian Johnson) is a master of expectation subversion and misdirection, as he made a distinctly different sequel in the same universe. Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is the only returning character anchoring both movies. The first movie was set in a stuffy New England house of a patriarch and his dysfunctional family (old money-ish). The sequel was set on a private Greek island of a tech billionaire surrounded by his inner circle of “disrupters” (new money-ish). The first movie is better (in my opinion), but the second is a worthy sequel - more transparent (glass), more layered (onion), and more fun (island).

Then we got the twist, things started to fall into place, and it was satisfying in the end. I realize that the silly tone of the first half was kind of a cover in itself (trick us into thinking this wasn't going to be as smart as Knives Out)....but I still wasn't as charmed as I was by KO. The setting is too fantastical, the cameos made this feel too farcical, and we didn't even have a sympathetic main character like Marta until halfway through. So, it was fine, but not my favorite.

There WILL be a 3rd film. I recently heard a podcast where the creator said they were actually optioned for 2 and 3 once the original was an instant hit on Netflix (March 2021). Odds are we won't see it til earliest summer 2024 or Netflix may follow the same November release strategy they've employed so far (I'm thinking the latter).

there’s a young adult trilogy of books called Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson i think you might like. the first book answers who, the 2nd how, and the third book answers why the murders happened. please read some reviews if my recommendation hasn’t convinced you. 😀

TBF to Blanc solving game mystery so early, well, that was the challenge and Miles did say the game had started. So, his own fault really. What he should have done when they were talking in the onion and he ended by officially inviting him is told him could stay, but couldn't take part in the mystery as he was a detective and therefore had an unfair advantage over the others.

Please react to the Gotham tv series, it ran for 5 seasons and it's about Bruce Wayne as a child before he became Batman, the show also creates their own origin stories for Batman's enemies like the Joker, Scarecrow, Bane etc. It was a fantastic show and if you loved the Dark Knight trilogy movies you'll love this show. It was a fantastic show.

I didn't like that miles burned the napkin so easily
@ProfVRandall Жыл бұрын
It seemed very realistic to me. It was a 10-year-old napkin. Listen carefully -- right after Lionel asks you didn't burn it -- you can hear Miles take out his lighter out. I assumed that Helen stepped forward so Miles could read the embossed name on the napkin.

Gotta love how Miles was so unoriginal and idiotic, he EVEN copied the writing on the invitation cards from Andi.. Sure, you could say thats what people write or say, but it was shown i think for a reason, on the red envelope and then on the cards.. same "Love, Andi xo" .. just like Love, Miles xo on the card that came with the box.. What a character :D

18:54 That travesty with the red swirling lines in the back of him is a perfect example of another soulless piece of modern "art" that auctioned off for 15.4 million dollars. Something a toddler could have made and you'd be none the wiser.

Excellent reaction. The only bad thing I see in this movie is that if you really pay attention, there is no mystery. I saw the movie with my wife, (Spoiler if you read comments before see the reaction) I realized when Miles gave Duke his cop and then I already knew who the murderer was. I also don't know if it's true, but I understand that Edward Norton's character is based on Elon Musk.

I suspect that Miles is based on several real-life super-rich "disruptors," including, but not limited to Elon Musk. The other direct connection I can definitely see is with Steve Jobs, as there are some flashback scenes of Miles in a black turtleneck or t-shirt, which was Jobs' signature look. And while Jobs was most likely far from an idiot, he is certainly ONE of the people who defined the good guy, quasi-spiritual, world-changing genius on the surface / cutthroat, morally ambiguous asshole underneath "type." I think there's also a somewhat separate "mediocre white man" trope being mixed in and satirized here ... which may fit some people's idea of Musk, but is more broadly applicable as well -- charismatic dudes who get much further than their actual talents would suggest just by being superficially charming and exploiting connections.

There's also no murder in the first one. 😅 This one is more of a heist movie (Helen has to "steal" the envelope)
