I think Rian Johnson did the smart thing and rather than try to top the original he went for a different tone with this one

[@Zombie_Trooper]

Bingo. The consensus is that it isn't as good as the first...but it doesn't have to be. He wasn't trying to top it, he knew all he could really do is just embrace a completely different story and just carrying over Blanc. It stands on its own. That's why he even fought to keep the Knives Out title out, so the automatic association would be diminished.

Thats not necessarily why the different tone, it was just needed. Whether better than the first or not 🤷🏾‍♂️

my guess is, I think they portrayed the box as super difficult in the beginning, to give us the feeling of a complicated, smart, well thought out film. But knowing the ending, and how the mystery really was simple and not over complicated, you can look back at the box in the beginning and see, it was never really that difficult, so much so that the average middle aged woman who's into their puzzles and crosswords could solve it.

One of my favorite little touches that someone pointed out, when Miles is asking Birdie to take the fall for the sweatshop in Bangladesh. "Miles is gonna pay me off, he said if I take full responsibility for the sweatshops, he'll pay me the value of my shares!" He doesn't say like $30 Million. He says "the value of her shares"... which are gonna plummet through the floor after the news of the sweatshops breaks.

It's just packed together so neatly. How they start breaking things with Helen before she goes too far and begin to try to stop her once she crosses the line, circling back to Miles monologue on disruption. How Lionel says "You didn't just burn it?" Giving Miles another idea to steal minutes later. How Derol literally tells everyone to ignore him yet we all subtly suspect him. Ugh, it's so good.

[@4ricz813]

I'm actually surprise that people suspect Derol at all, he's a filler character, in detective mystery genre, people like him are automatically out of the selection, simply because of the fact that the movie or show wants the viewers to take a guess at the culprit, so for them it would be nonsense for a completely filler and minor character like Derol to be the culprit.

[@ItheauthorityI]

@@4ricz813 the idea at least crossed my mind that he was an accomplice

[@tachiebillano6244]

Extra icing on the cake is that Derol is played by actor Noah Segan -- who also played the boyish Trooper Wagner in "Knives Out" (the guy who exclaims, "That means she lied!" after Marta pukes in Ransom's face). I saw one netizen comment under another KZbin video about how one could interpret this as Blanc sending policeman-turned-fan Wagner ahead of him in Greece to act as extra security. (And then they just sit together in the end to watch the chaos Helen creates.)

Several celebrities make cameo appearances as themselves in the Among Us Game ncluding Stephen Sondheim, Angela Lansbury, Natasha Lyonne and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Also Yo-Yo Ma,, Jake Tapper, and Serena Williams. Sondheim and Lansbury both died before Glass Onion was released and the film is dedicated to both of them.

I love how you called the hard kambucha "liquid courage", then later Blonc gave the whiskey to Helen in an offer of courage because that's kinda what licor is for her, a little push to say/do what she needs done. A little detail I just noticed too is that Andi part her hair on the left, while Helen (pretending to be Andi) did it on the right. It's just a tiny tiny detail but so cool imo. Also, I read somwhere that Helen is supposed to mirror the Mona Lisa in her single head shots, like that little smirk she does sometimes it's a smile, others she is angry, it changes all the time.

[@CDexie]

I thought it was obvious once the Mona Lisa popped up. All her enigmatic expressions were copying Mona Lisa's - and the actress succeeded too, I think

[@alfredmeneses5496]

What’s brilliant about both this and the previous Knives Out is that as a modern audience we go into these movies with the thinking skills for classic whodunits and Clue. Rian Johnson knows this, so he creates a story that completely turns the classic set ups and formulas upside down to successfully throw us off. We think the murder mystery starts when Duke dies, when all along Blanc and Helen as Andi have been playing the murder mystery game right in front of us.

It took me however many viewings to realize, when Miles is starting the game and Blanc spoils it, Miles started to say "As Watson said to Holmes" before being cut off. He was probably going to say "The game is afoot". It's a quote from Holmes to Watson. So even when he doesn't get to finish the line, he's probably misquoting it

[@joanhall9381]

I think a possible reason for Helen to break all the sculptures and destroy the room is that it could look like the fire and all the destruction was spontaneously caused by Klear. It would be his word against Helen's to tell what really happened. Afterward, when Miles asks everyone, "We all know what we saw, right?", he wants them to tell the truth that the destruction was done by Helen. But they're not willing to defend him, even though it's the truth. Instead they are ready to give testimony that will take him down, some of which is true and some of which is not.

The thing about that movie people don't realise is that Mona Lisa is only this famous because it's got stolen in 1911. It was not well known before and its value skyrocketed after the scandal. It is the worlds most famous painting due to PUBLICITY and because it is so famous people are constantly trying to find deeper meaning to her. Mona Lisa's value is in its own fame. And Miles is so fascinated with her because what it represents to him

[@ma.2089]

Overall tho, is any art valuable to anyone? Traditional art, especially old art, all of it can be easily replicated nowadays. You can create even crazier visuals as well. I feel like the only reason museum art is special is cuz of the historical context. Mona Lisa was made with oil paints, and Da Vinci invented it. He invented other artistic techniques and standards and they were used in ML. It was a big deal back then, but basic at this point. This Art is special for its historical and cultural and artistic context. Nothing else. You’re right in that publicity made it for the common ppl, but the ML isn’t anything better or worse than any other random historical art piece. It’s all about the brand. You’re right tho, in that Miles wouldn’t care about the other stuff & just the branding cuz he’s egotistical and shallow and ignorant. But to say that it has no value to anyone else is wrong cuz there are people who care about art and history.

Even though "Knives Out" ends on a good note challenging the status quo, "Glass Onion" shows someone who does more than challenge it, but attacks it, head on. Which takes courage, as Blanc says. Also, Kate Hudson hasn't had so much fun since "Almost Famous" ...! And, I need more Daniel Craig + Janelle Monae co-starring in movies! Great chemistry.

12:05 there was some moment in it that bag moves

[@theKarateRedbelt]

Funny enough, my initial reaction to the Mona Lisa burning was that instinctive resistance you had, but after I thought about it, yeah who cares. If the original goes up in flames, what does that even matter? He had it hidden away in a private residence, so it may as well be gone from public view anyways, and everyone has access to what it looks like, plus stacks of essays about what makes it great. Really, the only one affected by its loss would have been Miles

[@silverkyre]

Plus Helen didn't just avenge her sisters death, by killing Klear she did what her sister did and protected a whole bunch of people. All those people would have been in danger of blowing up their homes. Hell the world as Andi puts it. You're supposed to be resistant to her burning the Mona Lisa. "Are you willing to break the thing, nobody wants you to break?." Helen is a true disruptor.

[@filmfangirls9163]

I really enjoyed this film! I love that Rian Johnson thanked Bill Hader at the end for helping him create Andi and Helen. That's so cool!

[@agenttheater5]

38:14 But he wouldn't have been able to do any of it if And hadn't introduced him to the group in the first place. She was the one who brought them together because she could see that they could be something else. And then when she came up with the idea that founded the company - she made all of them.

[@dangermouse4871]

My question was why did she bother, big thing for me about the movie is I can see all the characters together but for Andi. Did Miles have moneyto begin with, because why would you want to hang with him in the first place?

[@agenttheater5]

@@dangermouse4871 guess so. That Miles had money and connections to make things happen. Makes sense that the whole time he was the money and Andi was the brains. also explains the sullen, sulky spoilt child reaction he has whenever something doesn't go his way - that at the end of the day he's just an overgrown entitled spoiled brat who either shows off or throws temper tantrums. Also explains why he's never cautious, he's never had to stop and think about stuff first.

how does everyone miss blanc saying helen when the lights are off

[@feelthemusic7871]

It's always fun watching brothers and sisters do reactions.

[@petrinafilip96]

Are you seriously reppin' Dom Mazzeti merch in this video? I LOVE IT.

[@artboymoy]

1:07:41 Phrasing! LOL Great movie, great reaction! Things I picked up on was that Duke saying that Miles almost pancaked him and Miles cut him off. I saw that Miles gave Duke the glass and then I heard Blanc say Hellen when they met up before she was shot. Like Knives out I sussed it was Ransom but didn't know exactly all the details which they replicated here.

[@newbiesama]

I can't believe they guessed soem of these things. Then again: a broken clock is right twice a day. 30:50 from all the reactiosn I've seen non of them caught on that he called her Helen instead of Andy I also love Daryl. they threw him in as a red haring. Because they know, you don;t introduce a person for nothing. and that is exactly what they did.

[@katashworth41]

It was the most fun I had at the cinema last year (and I saw Top Gun Maverick twice) was even worth relying on my local rail franchise (it took 2 buses and 4 trains to get to a cinema that was showing it). Hugh Grant nearly brought the screen down.

The kombucha is "hard" kombucha. Like hard lemonade......

[@mmichael1221]

The real Mona Lisa is painted on a piece of wood the way it burns it looks like canvas kinda curious

[@agenttheater5]

I havne't found anything that can summarise the disruption theory, but when Miles said "this place is the full reclamation of everything I've achieved"....... according to a google search reclamation means: 1. the process of claiming something back or of reasserting a right 2. the cultivation of waste land or land formerly under water. So like Blanc said, it's a word but it's not the right word. Also turns out circumspective means: given to or marked by circumspection; watchful; cautions. So again, by no means the right word.

[@A_wild_pumpkin_appears]

Fun fact: The original Mona Lisa was actually painted on poplar wood, where as the one in the glass onion appears to be canvas. So canonically it seems the French did in fact sell Miles a fake and he was just too stupid to realise he got duped. (which makes sense, I mean art museum’s don’t just rent priceless art pieces)

[@MagisterV224]

Miles character reminds me of the villain character from The Italian Job, who Norton also played. They are similar in their lack of originality and stealing everyone’s ideas

[@decusq]

So how much trouble is Miles in after this film? 1). The Mona Lisa's destruction is only the start of his troubles. For one he violated the insurance agreement by installing an override button "because he could" which means the insurance he took out on it won't cover the cost. Which given it's historical significance and value will result in most likely over a billion in damages. And quite possibly being charged with destruction of property from the Country of France. Which could result anywhere from fines to Jail time. 2). The next big loss is the Public Launch of KLEAR. Miles probably made most of his money from people investing in KLEAR in the first place. So imagine how much he's gonna lose from investors wanting their money back. Unless they decide to sue him for Fraud as well. 3). Finally double Homicide for Cassandra and Duke, which will result in jail time. Helen also gave him his immortality wish as the man who destroyed the worlds most famous painting, resulting in a lifetime of humiliation beyond his death.

Hey, are you going to finish the first season of the Vinland saga before the second season starts?

[@itstianooong]

1:08:27 she poses like mona lisa right here

[@ironside7991]

The quality of these movies tell me 2 things. 1st that Rian Johnson is actually a good director and 2nd that he ruined Star Wars on purpose.

[@m.winfree1912]

Another great reaction!❤

[@jasminemiller1650]

LMAO, I just realized something...Miles stole the idea of burning the original napkin from Lionel. Because he burned the napkin right after he said " After all of that, you still kept it? You didn't burn it or anything?" which further shows how unoriginal and stupid he is.

[@danwood4171]

I loved it because I guessed 3 things right before they happened. When Ed was scared about the 'time' I knew what would happen. I saw the hot sauce coming just before he reached into his pocket. As Mr Craig, near the ending, gave his speech to the women I knew what she would go after. I had doubts as it took awhile to get there but sure enough I saw it.

[@Hadez903]

Bro what happened to Duke’s corpse?

[@MorriganAtwood]

When Helen started breaking glass sculptures I genuinely thought the guy might have been dumb enough to have a bunch of "art" made from Klear. Can you imagine?

[@jesuspernia8031]

I think the first one was better but I enjoyed this one almost as much. This one felt shorter to me for some reason though even though they’re about the same length.

[@Ylyrra]

The first has a better story, this one has better story-telling. And in a murder mystery, how you tell the story is everything, which is why so many people have weirdly conflicted feelings about the two: it feels like the first OUGHT to be better, but the second feels more satisfying and enjoyable. For me it's a bit like saying which is better Alien or Aliens? Apples and oranges even though they're both very clearly the same franchise.

[@azenar1894]

Please react to Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile

[@fajarkurniawan9434]

Wait where's the intro?

[@Jbluez1]

That’s the wrong question.
