what i loved with the puzzle box, is that it really reflects the theme of the movie. all the puzzles make it seem like a complicated whole, when a hammer in the hands of someone clever enough to disrupt get right to it. also, with the music box puzzle in the scene, where yo yo ma explains that "it's a melody that, if you layer it on top of itself, it creates a new song". that's exactly what the story structure of this film was, and that's so neat! we get the first hour following benoit, then we get the story layered on top of itself following helen that re-contextualizes what we *thought* we knew, creating a new understanding of the overall mystery.

[@PristianoPenaldoSUIIII]

Another layer to this is that solving those puzzles is really more a test of cultural knowledge than actual tests of logic, deduction, or other attributes one might call genius. You have to be part of the wealthy's cultural "in-group" to recognise the solution. Not much more than rich people's version of a pub quiz on sports. It's why Helen is the disruptor, smashing through it instead of indulging the pretentious charade. It really fits a theme in this movie of how the wealthy delude themselves into thinking that they are geniuses, exceptional people who deserve their wealth when it often is all just a charade, really they just mistake niche class cultural signifiers and etiquette as demonstrations of their intelligence and value, rather than any actual skills, creativity or other exceptional abilities. They think they're geniuses because they can recall some phrase in Latin, or reference the name of some niche artist they heard about at the garden party, often without even actually appreciating the works of art and culture themselves. Miles in particular repeatedly gets metaphors and symbolism wrong including that of the glass onion, he even hangs his Rothko upside down. And in the end, his money and his collections don't change the fact that he's an unexceptional moron.

[@phantasosxgames8488]

@@PristianoPenaldoSUIIII truth be told , outside of the Fibunacci Sequence and the Song Piece....those puzzles are not even about wealth's trivia....I mean , one is just "Fool's Mate" and the other is the Atomic Number of Silver. Fool's Mate and Silver's Atomic Number are easy to google , with the Atomic Number also be High School's Basic Chemistry.

[@PristianoPenaldoSUIIII]

@@phantasosxgames8488 not just trivia, but general recognition of things considered high class. That's the important point, recognition. Even with the chess example, fool's mate. They describe it an endgame, when it's actually an opening! In other words, they recognise what it is, but they don't understand it. That theme is all over this film. Actually come to think of it, they don't even solve the puzzle on their own. They all help from the people around them (with the notable exception of Helen), and yet they're the ones that get to feel special and go on their little holidays while the people that helped them remain stuck in Covid lockdown. Those around them truly understand, do the work, but they the wealthy take the credit and reap the rewards.

[@mariafausti3128]

and the way that miles had to hire someone to make the puzzle box in the first place really shows that he’s not the genius everyone thinks he is he’s just some dumbass with money who’s full of himself

I love how Blanc is more annoyed at Miles' absolute incompetence rather than the fact that he's actually a murderer, and even compliments him for the "panache" of the "lights off" murder attempt, only to realize that Miles stole the idea from him

It’s kinda neat because the movie rewards you for getting it right (eventually), but, while trying to get you to give up on Miles as the murderer, also puts you into the mindset that the film criticizes: Our just-world belief/feeling that these ultra-rich dudes *must* be smart and have some merit to explain why they’re so successful and wealthy, when in reality, most just know how to use and abuse people to get to the top with general intelligence being optional. It really puts you in Beniot’s shoes when he gets frustrated that the answer was so obvious, yet he was led astray by someone who we inaccurately think would be smart was actually dumb af. 😅

the title scared me because while i agree that the first one was better, this movie was so well made and i hate how much people are completely disregarding it because it was easier to solve/didn't take itself as seriously. i just love rian johnson as a director and could talk about his attention to detail for hours !!

no but when you said "you think it's layered but it's just transparent" that is exactly it, because a lot of the clues were right there, i literally saw miles put the drink in his hand, i saw some of the clues, but i kept thinking there is no way this is that simple, there has to be something more complex, but no it was all transparant

[@ravenofroses]

i loved this movie, but i remain surprised that more people didn't immediately know what had happened when [redacted] died. like THEY TOLD US. when it happened i was like "oh yeah because [redacted] at the group's arrival in greece + everyone's fave drinks + the sudden reversal of [redacted 2]'s position on an issue immediately prior to the death." but the movie does such a good job of misdirecting viewers that most either don't notice or assume that the actual answer IS the misdirection. (i'm not special; i just noticed the first clue because it's something i'm already hyper-aware of, so when the death happened i still had that detail in my head to connect to the rest of the clues.)

And the specific thing I saw this person say: Helen said "you'll live for a lie but you won't lie for the truth". They didn't start lying for the truth - they're lying for the lie that they're not just like Miles. I saw that and I had to take a minute lol

You know its entirely possible Miles thought Andi survived his assassination attempt. I mean he knocked her out and left her in a car. (which btw, none of the others heard the fucking car engine running when they were going all around her house? None of them checked the garage?). Its entirely possible that he thought this was Andi, and that she was planning something. Its why he wants her dead so badly and tries to pin Duke's death on her (since they had just had a fight very openly) Go back and watch when Benoit introduces her as Hellen you see him get the "Oh, that makes sense" look, he thought she was Andi this whole time.

[@themochi8329]

I’m pretty sure it was the real one because if you notice how it burns you can see the paint lift off of the wood it wouldn’t do that on canvas (take this with a grain of salt I believe I heard this from a Rian Johnson interview)

[@yagadoobigidibobbibigabiga38]

When I was watching this, I was so impatient because I just wanted to get to the "Blanc shits on Miles for being a bad murderer and gets vengeance for Andi" part, but then with each twist and reveal of info in the flashback, it just made me equally excited to find out each new piece of info to understood the pre-murder mysteries as well as the actual murderer confrontation. This, as well as knives out, are those kinds of movies you have to watch at least twice, and it's more than enjoyable enough to watch it multiple times so that not everybody gets exhausted of it after a certain amount of viewings. Also, I love an agonizingly hard murder mystery to solve, but I think one of the biggest things glass onion does well is make up for the mystery being easy by misdirecting you and creating this flamboyant and dramatic twist that happens before everything at the beginning occurs. Having murder mysteries be super chronological is fine, but if you can succeed in messing with the timing of the murderous events and putting things out of order, then you don't even need to make the mystery difficult.

I’m cool with the different pace and tone cuz it helps that stand out from the first. But I only ended up being interested in half the characters in the second one. The new setting is nice but not as interesting. I still think this is fucking brilliant writing and directing by Rian Johnson, it just didn’t feel as compelling. In the first the cinemaography had the colors pop and the wardrobe was better you get the point.

Well yeah, even Blanc was annoyed by how simple (or dumb) it was lol

I literally just watched this movie! Loved it and excited to watch your opinion! ❤

[@solcarlosofficial]

As soon as duke dies and I saw miles reaction I knew it was miles. I was so disappointed it was him because it was SO obvious

[@zhenshei9398]

The subtlety of this film is trully incredible if you watch closely you can actually see all the clues in real time, really great film making. Plus, the end where she is sat like the mona lisa looking at the camera is a perfect final shot. Really great.

[@atlasSchuster]

I think the point at which everyone solves the movie is fairly intentional because pretty quickly its no longer about "who dunnit." Also I think some people confuse suspecting someone at some point as "knowing for certain" Because in nearly every mystery movie where you suspect each character at least once. And even if you do, there's still things to figure out. Like in Miles's speech or in every clue game ever played. The the what, why, and how are still extremely important to the case. This movie isn't as good as the first one simply because the first is so iconic as Trin said, but it is brilliant in its own right and shouldn't be dismissed for being 'easier' to solve.

[@charlix6996]

WHAT IS REALITY!! 😂😂😂😂 that needs to be in every film, I felt this 😂

[@adrianneceleste5995]

IMO, G.O>K.O but I love both movies in general and the thing I love about both films is that although it's a Whodunnit and figuring out the killer, I think the important thing and different that these films portray is the journey/how did we get here of it all and that's what I love about these films.

[@minglou2019]

Miles Bronn was too stupid to realize that the glass onion represented himself: seemingly complicated and layered, but you actually can see his center at first glance

Seriously one of the best movies ive ever seen

"Am I genius?" I mean... you stumbled through quite a few options so you've got to hit the right one at some point.

I think that knives out was better personally I really liked the vibes and the characters better but this movie is still really good

[@hiraidiamond5933]

I knew it was Miles from the guy saying he almost got pancaked and from the fact they didn't put Miles in the suspect list they made But this movie is a slay, the way they managed to perfectly capture people that I've seen irl into this movie and the ending and filming was brilliant As much as I liked this, I also do like Knives Out a bit more just because I didn't know who the killer was when I watched it

[@ten-ze1pq]

I’m so hoping that the next movie is set in the winter in a ski lodge! A different season with new aesthetics and fashion + another setting that’s secluded and exclusive to rich douches lol

this is one of the best movies I’ve seen in so long 😭😭 i liked this one better than knives out. i feel like i kept going back n forth with who the bad guy was & even tho the bad guy could be seen as “predictable” i thought the way they tied it up at the end was unpredictable. watching glass onion was fun lol

[@rumademedoit]

the title relates to the weapon: a gun. when miles shoots helen through the glass it creates a glass spiral that looks like an onion cut in half

[@alexsi-gm2233]

the way that, yes, the bar and the building are called Glass Onion, but you were right on point within the first 5 min with the metaphor of it being the seemingly dense, yet transparent story. we love our smart queen SLAYY

[@godbearxd]

I *love* that they're making more of these cause the first one made me a fan of these type of movies, but I didn't really like this one. Hope the next one is at least around the same level of the first one.

[@themochi8329]

I love murder mystery movies ❤️ I recommend watching Agatha and the truth of murder! Agatha Christie is literally the queen of murder mystery and that movie really felt like inspiration for glass onion!

You should defiantly watch the menu, Anya Taylor-Joy absolutely serves in it
