Bonus points: The painting is clearly on canvas, the Mona Lisa is famously painted on wood. In-universe, Miles is so dumb he didn't realize the French gave him a copy he could have detected with a Google search just to get him to leave them alone. So now he's going to be remembered as the guy who *nearly* destroyed the Mona Lisa.

[@honkstheclown8631]

In the world of Benoit Blanc the painting is real. The Mona Lisa is gone. If it turned out he burnt a fake he'd be lauded as an idiot then forgotten and klear would go on to endanger millions of lives. For the ending of the movie to work, for Miles to finally face justice, for the golden titties to finally run dry, the painting *has to be real*. The Mona Lisa has to burn. Perhaps it's a factual error on the part of the filmmakers, perhaps it's a visually interesting way for something to catch fire. It's also way bigger in the film than in real life, again to make its image more visually striking!

[@lemonwasabi5663]

More bonus points: Miles Bron claims that the louvre was desperate for money because they had to close during the pandemic, however the louvre is owned by the French government AND receives 60% funding from the said government. So it is unlikely that the louvre will loan any paintings much less the Mona Lisa

[@josephnewsome2935]

@@honkstheclown8631 wouldn’t showing how flammable klear is show that it’s dangerous to invest in?

[@fairyblu6929]

No, it was definitely the actual Mona Lisa. Its just that the filmmakers obviously had to use a copy. I think they just assumed that either no one would notice that detail or they wouldn't know about the original being painted on wood. I personally didn't notice it until now, so good eye! But yeah, on order for the ending to work, she would have had to be real in the plotnof the movie itself. If she wasn't, I'm sure they would have revealed it or explained it somehow, cause then it would make no sense otherwise.

This scene was indeed satisfying AF, Helen Brand did avenged her sister by destroying his house. 1:24 Also that double flip the bird was hilarious jajajajajajaja

[@flyforce16]

I just realized that the double bird flip is a reference to Miles making that gesture himself earlier in the movie, when presenting his disruption theory to Blanc

[@lukacunningham342]

People: French probably tricked Miles with a fake Mona Lisa Me: No, it’s just that there was a scrapped post-credits scene where it was revealed that the Mona Lisa was fake, so it would explain the way it burnt, they probably didn’t have time to redo the Mona Lisa scene or just plump forgot about it (both seem very reasonable explanations), so in this canonical version, the burnt Mona Lisa is real

[@Toonwalla2010]

The great bit about this is that, real or not, the movie doesn't really change. Miles is still a massive idiot anyway for getting the painting. If it were a duplicate then Miles was an idiot for being duped after claiming to know so much about it, and if it were real then he was still just as big an idiot for keeping it in a place where it was in danger of being destroyed. Either way he loses big time because no matter who made it, it was destroyed because of him.

[@trueblue6201]

The original plan was to reveal it was a fake. However, Rian Johnson realized that it undercut the story too much to reveal it was fake, so he removed the reveal.

[@user-xd7mk2xz2h]

Everyone and their mother knows Mona Lisa was painted on a wood panel. The one burning in the movie is in canvas. No need to reveal, just trust the audience to realize it themselves. This also shows how dumb Miles is lol.

[@HALLish-jl5mo]

​@@user-xd7mk2xz2h That's great, except canonically this is the real painting. It's an inaccuracy with the film, but this is absolutely intended to depict the real painting. You worked out something untrue.

[@alienfrograbbit5310]

I love how this whole scene is a metaphor for how Miles treates the women in his life. He gloats that, if he went up against Helen in court, people would believe him over her. Most likely due to sexism. But how does he lose? Because he bought a famous painting of a woman and disabled the safety protocols so he could "look her in the eye." Which is the very thing that completely destroys his reputation.

[@EastBurningRed]

when you can’t beat the villain intellectually (despite him being a dumbass), so you burn his house down instead.

[@Randomstrangerhere]

But she does beat him… she gets all of his friends to turn on him. The story the movie was telling was that one person has to brave enough to take action against the people on top and then every other coward will follow… the only reason he won the whole time despite not being smart at all was because he could manipulate everyone around… she beat him at the only game he was any good at… that’s the point of the movie

[@subnerdicafan2823]

I felt like it was more a situation where they failed to stop miles because they were trying to be compliant with the legal system, which was a doomed strategy against someone who could muscle entire countries into doing what he wants. Basically you can't beat him while obeying the system because he owns the system. EDIT: To quote the first movie "you won by refusing to play the game his way".

Yeah you really can't do that though! 🙈 I mean, I saw the original in the Louvre and it's a pretty unspectacular tiny dark painting in my eyes, so I'm not some pseudo-intellectual art connaisseur. But it's still DaVinci's legacy. The Mona Lisa is a 500-year-old artifact! How much stuff do we still have laying around on this planet that's 500 years old?! You don't light that up, you just don't! But well, other than that: What a bad-ass way to take someone down!!!

[@ShoppingBored]

From the media perspective, it will still appear that his product Klean was responsible for the damage especially as opposed to what he claims it to be a safe product. No one would want the product anymore, investors will leave the company leaving him bankrupt while going to jail at the same time since he no longer has anything to offer to the shitheads(disruptors). They would probably testify against him as well.

[@RobinHood3000]

I mean, the man murdered two people and was poised to kill a lot more if left unchecked. If any of the other people in the room had the spine to testify against Miles, Helen never would have had to go that far to make her point. Like, yeah, a version of this movie where the Mona Lisa survives and Miles still gets caught is plausible, but that's not what the movie is about. What the movie is asking is, how do you weigh stuff -- priceless stuff, but still stuff -- against human lives, and justice for them?

[@TheLockon00]

@@RobinHood3000 The Mona Lisa is not just "stuff." It's one of the most significant works in the story of our species. It's transcendently valuable. What's next? She's gonna blow up the Great Wall of China because she found out it's his favorite piece of architecture? If she wants justice and can't get the others to testify, then she can kill the man for all I care. But again, I thought this was stupid. Using the deliberate destruction of the Mona Lisa as a comedic just desserts crowd-cheering moment is one of the most aniti-intellectual things I've seen in a movie in a long time. Mind you, I still overall enjoyed this flick and the previous one.
