The Cinemasins effect on media analysis

Yeah this is a bad review, you can shoot holes in the logic of any film if you want to. Why didn't they send the Terminator back to kill Sarah Connor as a baby, why did they only send 1, etc. But it's cool to hate on Rian Johnson and that's what his audience likes so I get it.

@@83croissant it's sad that hacks like this guy took their gag, and built an entire career on it taking it too serious. Then he spiced it up with being the brainrot that accompanies the alt-right.

Sounds like a you problem

It’s not almost satire, it IS satire. Like that’s the whole point

It's certainly not a highlight of "Hollywood and the elites". Hollywood and elites are overwhelmingly woke left and the "bad" characters are caricatures of the types the woke left currently hates. The billionaire guy is meant to be an Elon Musk figure. Kate Hudson's character is portrayed as decidedly unwoke. Bautista's character is a "men's right activist" like Andrew Tate. Even the crime is an evil rich white male killing a noble black woman for trying to do the right thing. Everything this godawful director makes is thinly disguised woke propaganda.

You literally described the plot: a genius in appearance only revealed to be nothing more than a bumbling-credit-stealing-moron.

........ But the movie instantly shows you Miles is an idiot? I am an idiot, and I guessed he was the killer when "Helen" stepped off the boat. Shit was obvious.

It wouldn't have mattered. A scrawl on a napkin with no independent way to show it was contemporaneous with the original idea was not going to be sufficient evidence get an appeal or another trial. The print of the name of the bar at the bottom of it was worthless evidentially.

Even if it could vindicate her, you just happen to find a well-preserved napkin from 30 years ago after the most important trial of your life.

That was more or less what Rian Johnson was going for. There were obvious hints: I saw the Isocasahedron at the heart of the glass onion in first 20 minutes of the film. I paused the movie and stared at it. Why do the lines leave an empty hexagon in the center? Divining the mystery of the glass Onion, I was overcome with emotion. It gave the appearance of deep meaning, but it was painfully stupid. So stupid that I might have cried. Failing to understand that it was a metaphor for the entire film, I watched it to the end.

@@tigerburn81 "Diversity"!

So many great female leads to identify with.. LA femme Nikita, Ripley, etc etc

As a teenager (and male) I was a huge fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the Joss Whedon TV series)- and not just because she was hot, I also empathized with and easily saw things from her point of view. Along with numerous other female heroins and leads from various TV shows and movies. Obviously I didn't have the perspective of a teenage girl, but I don't need to share every single aspect of a character in order to find them relatable. The idea that men or boys "can't relate to a female lead" is absurd and insulting and sexist.

I've even seen some well-written Rom-coms with good female leads I could identify with. If you write a good character who's not an author self-insert or a complete blank slate, your audience will find commonalities with them, regardless of genders. But this is the "equity" mindset-people should be forced to like your shitty movie starring a self-centered bitch just to make things even!

I tonya, fury road, Witch, last night in soho and definitely not any movie involved with hunger games actor

@@Sticklemako Were they just talking about action leads in that clip or just women leads in general? Because if it’s the first one, I mean most of those women are made masculine and their identities as women are diminished to make male audiences identify with them more. Take kill bill.

So you were mad you were left in the dark…in a murder mystery film? The seen with the Duke makes sense if you listen to the audio, Andi isn’t magically there she moves hence the twig snap. We assume the twig snap is Blanc but it is Helen. All the hints were there in the first half of you paid attention, Andis hair was clearly just died, she drops her own rich bitch accent in her rant, grips the underside of the yacht, all of which indicate that somethings either off with Andi or someone is impersonating her

if you think Knives Out is a good mystery movie then you need help

WHY WOULD AHYONE SUSPECT ITS HELEN?! Helen hadn’t even met them before. They prolly didn’t know she was a twin let alone as willing to go thru all that trouble to investigate them!

@@iansmart4158 Helen is short hand the video uses for Helen or Andi. Whoever Miles thinks she is, the unexpected arrivals of both her and Blanc should be a giant red flag, especially to a man who’d attempted murder just days before. He should be able to suss the possibility they’re working together

That was the whole point. For the killer to be fucused on Blanc instead of Hellen.

The Prestige handled this about as cleverly as you can. Over and over it tells you it's a double but you don't believe it because HJ doesn't believe it and you want it to be more complex. But all the proof is cleverly placed in front of you. Halfway through GO the movie is like "Oh by the way there are twins".

I see Elon musk and watch videos discussing his successes and. Introversion. Because if this comment I searched whether he had siblings and found out he had 2 ( a sister and brother). Never knew that before just now Completely reasonable to not know some famous person has siblings. Especially when they aren’t really in each other’s lives at all which is the case in GO.

Knives Out did well and it was shot well, but beyond that it did nothing for me. It felt like an Agatha Christie mystery written by someone who didn't understand the mystery part. I literally guessed the villain the moment I first heard them mentioned and the same was true in Glass Onion. I kept expecting some great reveal about Marta's crazy Go skills meaning she had been playing 4D chess the whole time with everyone including Blanc, like she was a super villain genius all along - instead the Go reference was completely pointless and signified nothing important. Agatha Christie mysteries can leave you feeling hollow from the horror of it all at the end. All Knives Out and Glass Onion made me feel was hollow from how obvious and shallow it all was. Rian is just playing the MCU style race to the bottom game of script writing quality.

@@mnomadvfxthe whole point of Marta’s go skills was to expose the fact that Ransom knew that she would inherit everything, as Harlan talked about her in his conversation with Ransom about the will.

@@mnomadvfx i will say her go skills were part of that, when ransom says " huh, i always thought i was the only one who could beat him at go" was ransom saying he thought he was the only one who could out smart Harlan who was a crime novelist. so in a way it is what you were expecting.

@@mnomadvfx Marta's Go skills were very significant in both symbolism and foreshadowing in the movie. Unlike international chess which I assume would be more familiar to you, the win condition of Go depends on the final score count. However, these score counts consist of both the present pieces as well as the vacant points created by the formation. In other words, taking your opponent's pieces will not simply net you a win. In the movie, it is explained that Marta's Go strategy focused more on creating a beautiful pattern rather than winning. This is actually an entirely valid strategy (albeit drastically simplified). Setting up a formation, or a so-called beautiful pattern, may be more effective in winning a game of Go rather than focusing on taking your opopnent's pieces. Similarly, it is a very obvious metaphor for Marta succeeding by simply being a person of good character (as opposed to Ransom and Marlan's tendency to "outsmart" using their wits). Now, in my opinion, I do find the notion that a novice building a beautiful pattern could defeat an experienced player rather unrealistic. (It would be similiarly ridiculous to suggest that chess skills are somhow direct indicators of intelligence rather than dedication and accumulated knowledge with a tinge of talent. i.e. person good at chess must be smart and vice versa. But hey, that's Hollywood for ya) But for the themes the movie wishes to convey, the game of Go is beyond sufficient. I don't find Knives Out to be a particularly good mystery film. And it's not trying to be that. In my opinion, the series uses the mystery genre and format more so as a vehicle to deliver its social critique (which leaves a lot more to be desired, but then again what more could you expect from a two hour film whose purpose is to entertain than to educate) Regardless of personal opinion (which is more of a slightly intrigued meh), I do think that the scripts have a surprising amount of thought and polish. I think that the level of quality is recognizable even if the audience do not resonate with the writers' ideology (and this I do agree to be obvious and shallow) Your subjective viewing experience is what it is and is entirely valid. However, your complaint regarding the Go metaphor is somewhat... shallow.

Birdie literally said that Andi told her she had a sister

They knew about her sister so whoever among them killed andi would act weird in the beginning and would settle down once they realise she might be the sister or andi survived but in the end they didn't know andi was dead so they wouldn't think about her sister. Only miles acted a lil weird upon seeing her but settled down quickly, the movie doesn't tell if he concluded that andi survived somehow or it's his sister.

They did know. What are you talking about? They didn't know Andi was dead. That was like, a huge aspect to the movie. It's why Dave Baptista's character was killed--because he found out Andi was dead and he knew he did it!

@@kirikakirikakirika well, if you kill someone and you know about the sister, it is a very obvious trap if a look-alike turns up at the party - so they had to rely on the assumption that the killer has no idea about the twin sister, or else it is pretty obvious what is happening and the killer will poke the suspect-fake Andy with questions to test if she is the real one

Makes me wonder if Rian Johnson even wrote the screenplay for knives out. I almost think someone ghost wrote it for him and in this sequel Rian just copied the ghost writers formula and failed miserably at it cause he has no talent besides being a decent director behind the camera.

I have a love hate relationship with Rian Johnson's work. It seems that literally half of his projects are amazing, and the other half are all extremely flawed (but I usually get some enjoyment out of). I find it fascinating how a director can be so shit so much of the time, yet I find myself still excited for new projects by him. Rian Johnson is the Russian Roulette of modern Hollywood. This is also why I personally feel that Knives Out 3 is going to be good. also, "woke innuendos" is an oxymoron. For something to be woke, it has to beat you over the head with it's progressive messaging. By the definition I am using, something cannot be both subtle with it's themes, and also woke.

⁠@@GoallpeashootersI agree, even Looper (besides Brick which I haven’t seen yet) is acclaimed as his best work, and despite on paper and in presentation the film having elements I love, the ending, it’s plot holes and the direction of the story didn’t appeal to me. Even scientifically and conceptually the guy is very adamant and rejects advice from test screenings (a prominent critic I follow on letterboxd and even Shane Carruth who directed Primer made alterations/suggestions to the script which Johnson largely ignored) which is fine if it’s a studio but if it’s constructive and in good faith it’s worth considering. I agree with your comments on “wokeness” here too, as a indecisive centrist who leans left over certain issues, I found that the politics of the Knives Out 1 resonated with me. Only Glass Onion I would describe as “woke” but if you accept the satirical characterization and the exaggerated nonsensical nature of the sequel I guess it could be partially interpreted as critical or signifying the ridiculousness of the “woke” elements while criticizing the products of the affluent echelons of capitalist society. That said I could ignore all of this because it was still fun, but even visually it was a downgrade, with little artistic merit and a made-for-streaming look to it like I’ve not seen from any of his other films.

I have a feeling that you only like these terrible movies because you've only watched them once or twice. I have no idea how anyone with any sort of taste at all could enjoy these movies through multiple watchings because all of the dumb shit starts to get in the way of these movies' superficial veneer of competence. Maybe you just have an incredibly low threshold for what's good, and if that's indeed the case, then your opinion doesn't matter because your taste in movies is shit.

okay sorry but duke 10000000% is stupid enough to put a loaded gun near his trunk also yes the introduction felt weird they could have fixed that if in the flashbacks she just said something else like "is this right?"

Everyone wouldve been mad if we found out that the hole in the mirror was left by a blank, including me. And yeah, the flashback with the twin twist was the point where the energy dropped a lot.

Would a blank have enough power to knock down an adult? Genuine question, I have no idea.

I seriously question the intelligence and state of mind of people who think this was somehow a good movie.

Me too, I thought it was so dumb to have introduced him so obviously in the beginning, only to have him reappear twice where he’s just smoking weed

I thought that as well. in the end he was unnecessary set dressing. plot decoy

You really give the movie too much credit. It was obvious from the start that the slacker guy was a cheap gag and the bad guy is the rich asshole played by Edward Norton. You don't hire a big name celebrity to play a side role in a Hollywood blockbuster. Especially one that is supposedly difficult to work with.

wouldn't it be kinda stupid to make the killer someone we only see in like 1% of the movie, who also happens to be comic relief, and would make a little less sense considering that there was no motive for him to do so?

That was my biggest disappointment. A great character, totally wasted.

Why the fuck would he just carry around a bottle of hot sauce at all fucking times.

The whole movie is set up to mock Ed Norton's ideas and portray him as an idiot. But at the end, when Blanc "disrupts" the legal system he's a part of by letting Janelle Monae destroy Norton's house, he essentially adapts Norton's policies. That's not "irony" or "poetic justice," that's just the movie going back on its entire message for a moment of smug self-satisfaction. What an idiot.

you do realize norton’s character is the bad guy right? his notion of just pissing everyone else off is meant to be hatable. he’s not justifying anything.

Nah. It's supposed to be mocking Elon Musk. Johnson just lacks the self-awareness to realize that he's guilty of the same sort of "victim of success" over confidence and excuse making.

This isn’t actually lacking in self awareness. This could just as much be a tacit admission that he was a smart arse when it came to the last Jedi. The reason knives out was successful was because he subverted expectations without betraying the audience. With regards to the ending, you don’t break something for the sake of breaking something, you reveal something to be broken. By revealing Klear to be dangerous, she was able to avenge her sister, and in turn get justice for her sister. You’re allowed think yourself too smart to enjoy these movies but you’re missing out on some fun by not letting yourself get swept up along with it.

@@chadmwilliams89 I don't think it is specifically mocking Musk. The movie was mostly shot when Musk was still the liberals darling. Nortons character also looks like a Steve Jobs-Imitation in the scene where the black lady refuses to go anlong with his hydro plans. The character strikes me as someone who wants to be Jobs or Musk, but simply isn't. The movie depicts him as someone who gets rich implementing other peoples ideas. Thats called managing and done right its nothing to be laughed about - but its not a what he wants to be seen.

I think you nailed. You can caught in the riptide before you have time to think. But the ending got so dumb that I don't think any editing could hide it unless you were unwilling.

@@MrGabox345 That makes zero sense.

For God's sake don't you recognize a parody when you see one?🤣

I mean, you are right when you say that editing and pacing are the secret, but this movie does not really move at a breakneck pace and is in fact super fair when it comes to editing. You can literally spot the murderer doing things. Even in small scenes like the gunshot, there are no cuts for almost 20 seconds when the killer aims just so a dialogue you can't hear at that moment can happen, and is shown later. Yet people call it lazy or stupid. "Not getting time to think because the movie moves along" is practically the definition of Fridge Logic.

just throw so much at you at such a pace that you don't even have time to realize how shitty and poorly written it all is lmao just a blitzkrieg of bullshit lmao

Dude, making your movie so that it only happens because one character is a fucking moron is a shocking condemnation of the film

How dare you be entertained by entertainment! Every film must be complex and require hours of pouring over with a magnifying glass and fine-toothed comb. Every...single...film!

Identical twins are historically a staple of the whodunit genre. If it was good enough for Agatha Christie then it's good enough for this movie.

@@Carabas72 Thank you!

@@Carabas72 and its not like the movie had it as an ex machina. The sister was an integral part of the plot, doing things with agency. A copout is only a copout if its not built on

@@g4mm47 And there is even a big hint that she's not Andi before the reveil when Blanc literally calls her Helen.

@do not spam

Drinkers criticism is more to do with the girls being there when she wasn’t clearly there before thou.

And they can magically hear them talking through thick glass.

What I dont understand how did the Andi got a twin? Why is she working with Blanc? Miles burned the tissue in 2 seconds? Ending is the worst.

Never watched a movie before have you

I did the same and actually enjoyed what seemed to me as a bunch of caricatures of pseudo successful people.

That’s patently false Dave Barista’s character dies before the halfway mark

@@skibot9974 My bad. That character was such a cartoonishly shallow stereotype that I honestly forgot that he even dies.

@@Angel_Investor_Music that tells me you either weren’t paying attention or went into the film wanting to hate it to if you could forget the murder mystery had a murder in it. My issue isn’t that you didn’t like the film it’s the idea you could forget something so plot cruical

@@skibot9974 Not gonna lie, I was pretty checked out by that point. Call me a harsh critic, but I tend to prefer movies where I actually get invested in the characters. In Glass Onion Blanc is the only remotely entertaining character. Everyone else acts like a douche, so it was impossible to care what happens to them.

@@skibot9974 tbf fair he was such a bland character I could understand if someone forgot

He played a depressed James Bond.

Glad for him, still, shit movie.

I believe ultimately Daniel did not want to play Bond anymore. He hinted/stated in interviews He was tired of playing Bond so, just "phoned it in" is the impression I got.

@Will_Jordan0 it’s hilarious how there’s 1000+ comments from you spamming links on this channel and being reported for months because you’re impersonal criricialdrinker yet KZfaq still refuses to ban you.

That's crazy because you just don't know Daniel Craig as an actor. This dude is a natural comedic actor and a wild actor as well. You need to catch up on some of his other movies. You can try "The road to perdition with Tom Hanks". Or catch him when he was on Saturday night live he let it all hang out then because he is very comedic. The reason people didn't like him as James Bond at first was because of his past acting and his hair color. He wasn't somebody that normally plays those kinds of people.

A painting famous because it was stolen not because it was great. Its one of the many apt metaphors of destroying it while at the same time destroying Edward Nortons character. Definitely agree it was stupid to put the paper that close to him but not completely unreasonable to get an ego when you think you've won.

The worst thing about that was the shot framing. Andi looked like she was further away and it never establishes she was as close to Miles until he suddenly burns the napkin. The movie had terrible cinematography.

@@xavmanisdabestest Pretty sure it is famous because of who made it.

I agree. And also the fact that he drove his one of a kind car that only he has to his ex partner's house to murder her, that's dumb also

@@doomsdaybooty1072 Well, the character is dumb so imo that's a consistent point lol

Well, for me Miles was rather a parody of Elon Musk rather than Steve Jobs Because Musk unlikely to Steve, is an idiot, a man child in adult body who has a lot of money He never invented anything, even PayPal people claim he created, he bought it out and kicked out it's creators And this type of man is Miles. A man child with no real plans, who is in reality a charismatic idiot

​@Lithosagym Fan Trash vs garbage

They did know she had a twin. One of the characters even says "oh, yeah, she mentioned a twin". And like the sister said they both didn't have the best relationship so it makes sense for them to not talk about each other

ofcourse they knew she had a twin....why would they just suspect its the twin?? the murder did not happen on the island whats there to find..the napkin but he didn't let the detective snoop his office?

They knew she had a twin, but they had no reason to believe it was her twin because in their mind she wasn't dead. And why did miles allow blanc to stay? Because he's an idiot

@@hansvangrunsven2073 why would he not allow blanc to stay? Only the murderer would recognize blanc and helen as a threat. if hes innocent he will likely see blanc as an excellent addition to the mystery party as it plays out.

They should add a mid-credits scene where Rian Johnson gets arrested

Absolutely fantastic comment. I didn’t even realize the similarity between the two until now.

Same as "Tax the Rich" ... dress

"The biggest irony is that there is a perfect metaphor for the movie within the movie itself. The puzzle box... Rian Johnson thinks he's Benoit Blanc, but he's actually Miles. " ... This is called psychological projection, an extremely common occurrence with highly flawed individuals. Subconsciously, deep down inside, Johnson knows he's a hack. He knows he is Miles. He is attempting to project those flaws onto someone else (a character, in this case) as a self defense mechanism to avoid having to acknowledge those traits within himself.

I wouldn't be surprised if Rian Johnson was sitting around listening to Beatles songs, listened to "Glass Onion" and thought "holy shit, that's the next Knives Out, layer a lot of clues together that end up not meaning anything because the killer is really just dumb, he just seems smart, like Elon Musk!"

The entire movie itself is just one big glass onion, seemingly complex at first glance but increasingly mundane and obvious the longer and closer you look. I have to admit IF RJ had actually done this on purpose it would be an impressive subversion, unfortunately his recent works show he lacks the intelligence to have done this on purpose just making the entire thing an epic unintentional self-troll. He just lacks the self-awareness to even notice it happening right in front of him...

And now he's got a write another Knives Out movie, but this time with the... Muppets?!

At least Glass Onion makes more sense than Bird Box or Tall Girl

Oh hush! You’re currently excited for the next product. “Hate watching”, doesn’t exist. It is ppl who cannot help but spend the money on more junk.

Its the closest thing to a well written film we'll get from Hollywood these days, a facade of complex and quality writing. And for a film all about the facade of complexity hiding the obvious truth of idiocy, its quite ironic.

Yup movie is just dumb. I tapped out the moment Dave Butista died and Miles said he grabbed the wrong drink then it shows the fake flashback. I legit said that didn’t happen, he handed him the drink, rewound to the scene and saw yup he handed Dave the poisoned drink. Immediately ruined the entire movie

Yeah I kind of like the goofy tone of the movie, until it got in the way of the mystery.They just kept ridiculous over and over. It could've been like the board game clue but modern. But they fkd it up.

Blanc's reasoning why Miles couldn't be the killer was also extremely stupid. None of what he said made sense. Why wouldn't miles kill her shortly after a court case he won? He would seemingly have no motive and Andi had just lost half of a billion dollar company. What better time to make it look like she killed herself?

I mean the first film was dogshit too.

@@GigaChadh976 I enjoyed it for I haven't seen many traditional mystery films of who did it. I also didn't guess the culprit and twist, I enjoyed Craig and Evans.

Because this my friend is called manipulation. He wants his viewers to think that "look! Famous female actress believes that boys can't identify with women! WOKE!!!!" This is basically this whole video in a nutshell. Manipulate what you want so it will fit your narration

Know how Zack snyder just makes wallpapers for desktop and iPhones? Know how Michael Bay just makes three-hour long music videos? Rian Johnson makes two-hour long TikTok videos. Everything looks awesome but its all hollow and you're only supposed to think about anything for 15-seconds.

@@valentinegonsalves7322 The accuracy of that is soul crushingly true. It's sad that so many people just want entertainment and will take the stupidest crap they can get with the mere veneer of quality. This is all Hollywood is now, all sizzle no steak.

That line is kinda beautiful

The point of the film isn't the murder mystery. It's called "Glass Onion" for a reason. You have to peel the layers of an onion to see its core. You can see straight to the core of a glass onion. It's an allegory for how we view high society in contrast with what they actually are (which is explicit in the film). We allow ourselves to be blinded by their layers of "sophistication" and wealth when we can literally look right past that and see the truth.

@@soggmeisterlasagnagarfield The title of the film is "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery." Mystery is literally in the title, not to mention that they put it in the "mystery/crime" genre, marketed it as a murder mystery, and it is a direct sequel to an Agatha Christie-inspired murder mystery film and features the same detective character. This movie does not get to have a terribly-written bullshit mystery plot and then excuse it with the defense that it's not actually a mystery movie.

@@MissCookieThief The Title is like an oxymoron. I know it's a terrible movie murder mystery, but that's not the point. The moral of the story is timeless and is especially relevant right now (also explicit in the film). Yes, it's bad and seemingly halfassed, but the plot isn't the purpose. If you still think it's supposed to be a murder mystery, you just allowed yourself to be trolled by Rian Johnson

It's a sequel to a "murder mystery" where the obvious red herring turned out to actually be the killer. What were you expecting?

@Soggmeister The only one trolled here is you if you think that a man who was handed 100's of millions of dollars to hire a dozen millionaires from Hollywood to preach about the flaws of idolizing "high society" is timeless and meaningful commentary.

Exactly

I thought (and still think) it was supposed to be a comedy.

Oh my god you're right!! It was the only part i liked, but you're right withholdin that until the 50 minute explanation of the whole movie would have kept the tension, made Blanc look smarter, and maybe flesh out the characters, but they chose the dumb

I mean, one of the key plot points, was the news of Andi's death being reported. The news of which, could only be withheld from the media for a week, as said in the flashback. They had to solve it before the news was public, or else the rest would have figured out. Details matter.

He literally says in the movie he did it to protect the billionaire guy, which itself is a obfuscation to get closer to him and learn more about the actual mystery. You would know this if you actually watched the film. Rightoids really don't have any media literacy skills

Th movie SPRINGS the reveal on the audience that Bron is the killer. You can hear Rian chuckling with pride... He's so clever! Motherfucker, if YOU killed ANDI and she SHOWS UP on your island WITH A FAMOUS DETECTIVE, what the FUCK took you so long to object to them being there that you shoot at them? Why not have them both escorted off the island? Why not kill Andi and try to bury her corpse and then THAT turns into the mystery game instead of whatever you had planned? That would've been a neat movie!

good point

Yeah , I love people picking the exact statement the movie makes, as a total "gotcha!" moment.

@@shinkaibara1025hat statement was supposed to be impressive I’m certain, but it sure de-fuses the puerile political statement to admit it’s in a stupid story…

@@bloodrunsclear It depends: dumb means also unpredictable, with a certain degree of randomness. A perfectly crafted plan can be, paradoxically, easier to predict, because you expect every action taken to have a purpose for maximum benefit and efficiency. Sometimes, very often in fact, people fumble and do things on the spur of the moment. For someone as logical as Blanc, it's more difficult to figure out. That's why the movie allows itself to be so transparent and have Helen, who is no sleuth , blurt out the culprit's name and motive, only to have Blanc say that it'd be unbecoming of someone obviously so clever as a multimillionaire genius, to do something like that. That's something a lot of wuddunits do, actually, have the most likely culprit instantly exposed , only to have something else (by their clever machination or else) divert the attention to other people.

@@shinkaibara1025 So...it's dumb

Oh my god, you write like a 12th grade student trying too hard to get A in English class. You are no where near as intelligent as you would like to believe, Mr. Obviously-More-Brawn-than-Brain, and the stench of your pretention is so thick it can stuff up people's noses. "Loosen my posture" lmao, who the f*** taught you to speak like that. lol The identical twins plot device is unoriginal but its use doesn't automatically make the film bad. You seem to not even realize the fact that the Hypocritical Sphincter has literally told lies in this review about the movie. Please go watch Pillar of Garbage's response to this horrid video. Otherwise you'd be missing out on a valuable opportunity of self-improvement. "Weakest of microscopes"? lol I'd suggest using "magnifying glass" in this metaphor, but sure, you do you.

Great analysis, I want to also add the film had horrible set up to the twist and then a gruelingly long exposition dump. The movie bothered to set up superficial things like the hydrogen, the painting, the malapropism, but it never actually sets up anything of use or plot relevance. The red letter is set up after the exposition dump. The second biggest problem is POV. The movie has a first person perspective from Blanc but intentionally obscures reality and our perspective of him. It’s obscured for the sake of plot, and not because he was an unreliable narrator. The film just lies to you and then switches to the other first person perspective of Helen which acts as an exposition dump rather. She is the reliable narrator in which we see reality for it is but not Blanc. It makes no sense and lacks an actually reasoning for the movie making Blanc an unreliable narrator.

and a 9mm will certainly penetrate a 1/2" thick book

Well, except for the silly, short-sighted excuse for cheap labour, I agree. But it seems modern writers just lack the logic skills for these kind of stories so they take the easy way out. It's not like critics and audiences hate it so they know they can keep going. 🤷🏻‍♀️

"The woman who uses sweatshops, the right-wing shock jock, the tech billionaire." - The funny part is, in reality, most of those trope characters are left-wingers. It seems so tone deaf to me. They keep bringing up that Kate Hudson's character got in trouble for blackface. Who are the people historically who keep getting nailed for that? It's almost always lefties. Jimmy Kimmel, Justin Trudeau, Sarah Silverman, Ralph Northam.

I think your perception depends on what you expect from a movie. People expecting a murder-mystery would certainly be disappointed if the movie starts by showing who the murderer is and how he does the murder, then show the murderer easily dancing around the stupid detective investigating it until the big twist at the end is that the detecive wasn't stupid at all and catches him. Thats the plot of every columbo-movie. You don't watch it to find out who is the murderer or wether or not Columbo will catch him, we know he will. You just enjoy the journey, wondering how it will happen. This movie doesn't take itself to serious, the Mona Lisa being there is a giveaway, certainly its destruction in the end. Also if it were a true murder mystery it would prevent you from knowing the truth until it wants you to know it. You could suppect Miles swapped the glasses with Duke or had taken his mobile, but he would not be shown doing it or having the mobile in his pocket. This movie does. The characters are caricatures and a macguffin is simply a macguffin. Wether you consider it a good or a bad movie, it doesn't really try to be Murder on the Orient Express or Death on the Nile so accusing it of not being it is IMHO somwhat beside the point.

Completely agree. I had the same reaction to the, "I ruined your game on purpose" scene. I was like: Alright! Now we're getting somewhere! .... only to be let down by basically everything that followed

Yes

Yeah pretty much sums up my viewing experience too, I started getting really invested after you know, the actual murder happens, and then we get the flashback and I’m still invested going into it, then it keeps going, and keeps going, and I legit didn’t expect the flashback to lead all the way back, and after all that I kinda lost investment, and the finale kinda just confused me, I thought destroying all the glass was going somewhere but nah, it’s just to destroy more things. Also the fact that they put so much focus on the door for the Mona Lisa for no reason kinda disappointed me.

@@captainnomekop5056 Everything in that house was Klear, except for the Mona Lisa's protection. Miles even spoke of it earlier, that Klear wasn't just powering everything on the island, everything on the island was Klear. I'm still surprised that Miles simply didn't off everyone at the end, as he had nothing left to lose and had already shown a penchant for murder.

Yes! This comment says exactly what I was thinking but couldn't articulate. The first KO movie was funny and enjoyable despite the very unrealistic 3d-chesslike logic Blanc unravels at the end. The absurdity of the 'rich-asshole' characters was entertaining. But this movie, the rich-assholes took over the movie like toddlers at a birthday party. It left me hoping for more dialogue and deduction/reasoning from Blanc of which there was very little.

SAME

For me it’s got to be its plot structure. Even if the events itself are actually dumb the idea of looking at two completely new sides of the same time period and playing that as apart of the mystery is so good. Not to mention I thought the acting and actual editing were incredible and even if the script is worse than the original it’s still a fun and engaging mystery with some pretty fun reveals

@@jakealhalabi8194 its an instance of bad writing getting carried by talented actors. Its entertaining, but also stupid.

@@hemmydall but also rewatchable and just fun to watch, and compared to a lot of mediocre or disappointing stuff we have gotten I’ll take glass onion any day

Because these days, if a movie requires you to use even an ounce of critical thinking, then it’s automatically considered a masterpiece

Cuz that wasn’t her that was her sister 🤦‍♂️
