The foreshadowing I love is "clue is a dumb game, I hate running around, searching rooms, checking boxes" this is what hellen does all weekend.

I've seen this movie twice now, and the second time around, it hits you: None of the 'Disruptors' had two IQ points to rub together. Peg, mom, and assorted people standing around the boxes figured out the clues. The KZfaq star living with his mom and pimping out his girlfriend, while raging about Feminists. The Engineer who keeps defending the 'misunderstood genius' who is gonna blow up have of civilization. The Influencer who couldn't be trusted with a phone because she kept tweeting such stupid things. The politician who didn't have a clue what was going on and just did what the rich guy said. Hosted by the Billionaire who let everyone else come up with every idea he had in the whole movie. We don't notice because it's played for comedy, but all of them... The Glass Onion. Peel back a thousand layers, but there's nothing there.

Something i love about this movie is the "disruption theory speach" that Miles give to Blanc is foreshadowing the last moment with Helen breaking everything, she start's small and gets everyone excited until she gets to the "infraction point" and brakes "the thing that no one wants her to brake" and at that point everyone try to stop her, she even makes the double finger that Miles gives when he said the speach the first time

It says a lot about Duke as a character that he carries a gun on his person wherever he goes (because "you never know when shit's gonna go down") but not an epipen. I can't help feeling bad for his mom, though. Her son might have been an asshole, but he was still her son.

Fun fact: the self-portrait that Miles has is actually Edward Norton's face superimposed over Brad Pitt's body in Fight Club.

You say "the mark of a good mystery is that you can see the clues." This is absolutely the best movie for that. **everything** is in plain sight. You see Miles swap the glasses, take the gun, the gun flashes in the shadows, and of course "Glass Onion." As a title basically gives it all the way. The only major thing is the twin sister twist but that's not a big deal, every movie gets one free pass.

23:32 Peg's "Sorry, what?" and the context was one of my favorite jokes in the whole movie

The foreshadowing is the name of the movie, "Glass Onion." As Benoit said it's an object that has many layers and appears complicated but the center is in full view the whole time.

I saw this when it was in theatres which was a few weeks after a certain billionaire bought a certain social media site and this movie was a beautiful catharsis to all that. The “___ ___ is an idiot” scene is just gold. Daniel Craig is having so much fun. Janelle Monae is great and the performance works even better for me on a rewatch. And I never thought I would be so glad that Kate Hudson is back. She’s able to play beautiful moron so well without it being too much.

You picked up on Duke's phone being weird much faster than I did! And I thought Helen was dead still even through the flashback 😂

You’re plenty smart! The movie isn’t designed for the viewer to guess things in the first half. The tools are there but it’s almost crafted as a comedy. It’s only when you look back (or rewatch it) that all the pieces fall into place. PLUS- you caught on to some clues at the beginning of the movie!

First video I’ve seen on your channel, but the editing alone is worth a subscribe! 🎞️🙌

I'm surprised Joseph Gordon Levitt dropped so much "Dong" in this film

Like the movie itself, this reaction was well worth the wait

I love the take on this being New Money, versus Knives Out being Old Money, it's soooo good.

I really wish they'd make a book series of Benoit Blanc mysteries. They're so fun!

I will watch anyone (just about) react to Knives Out and Glass Onion because they are movies I wish I could watch for the first time again. I try not to add any additional movie reaction channels to my list, but you have won me over. I very much enjoyed your video. Subscribed! 💛

Another great video. You are such a fun person. I loved this movie (only slightly less than Knives Out), the performances are beautiful. Its a joy to see your enjoyment of movies on the whole. Brava! Can't wait to see what's next for this channel. Thanks.

One bit of foreshadowing I only recently noticed: the dress that Helen wears when she first arrives at the island foreshadows her outfit in the climax - both have red on the left side of the chest. ^^

So cool how you anticipated everything - but not quite! They did some good curveballs in the movie. You pointed out some fun details - especially in the Miles/Steve - that was hilarious and very perceptive. Great job can't wait for the next one.

When Blanc yells "Helen" before the flashback, I think part of the reason we're encouraged to dismiss it is that Blanc has already established that he often charmingly avoids swearing ("fiddlesticks!" "Halle Berry, that has a kick!"). It's plausible that he'd say "Helen!" in lieu of "Hell!"

It's pretty entertaining to see how you are smart&knowledgeable enough about movies to have a series of pretty good guesses on what actually is going on, but also are smart&knowledgeable enough about movies to identify what the movie pretends to sell you as the story and flip flop between the two.

Watching this was hilarious! Great job!

I thought you did great noticing things and making connections to Knives Out. One of the fun bits in a rewatch is to hunt down all the celebrity cameos. Also, as a fellow redhead, I'm wondering if you've seen Tim Minchen's song Prejudice? If not, could be an entertaining reaction.

The thing about the puzzles is that they ARE simple. The average person might mistakenly think they're more complex and they must be stupid because they don't know chess or Morse code and can't solve them on their own. But if you come into it with the correct foreknowledge to recognize what you're looking at on sight, then there's literally no substance to them. You know you're looking at an optical illusion, so you just do the trick with your eyes you need to see where the button is and press it. You know how to decode the dots and dashes in Morse code, so you just do what the message tells you to do. It's not like when you play an actual puzzle game like Portal or even something as simple as Sudoku where you need no external knowledge outside the game's own mechanics and you have to make actual logical deductions in order to solve the problems they present.

You are plenty smart enough for this movie! You guessed several of the mysteries correctly, like the ultimate fate of the Mona Lisa, and the fact that Helen was not really dead.

Really enjoyed this reaction! Also loved the bullshirts you throwed in there with The Good Place :)

Thanks, Jacqui! 🔍 #MovieNightAtJacquis #RianJohnson #TheGlassOnion The actor who played the sarcastic-but-astute mother of 'Duke' is Jackie Hoffman. Some years ago I did videos for a multi-media stageplay she was doing for charity in Manhattan. She's hilarious.

Birdie was definitely my favorite character. I wouldn’t be a fan in real life, but for some reason she was the most tolerable of the “disrupters” to me

I’m so sad we didn’t get your reaction to the four cameos on Benoit’s Zoom call in the beginning!!

also on the topic of gay Benoit... He's the only one who doesn't gag at the vaccine at the start... 10/10

I caught the drink hand-off, but not the Helen. Such a fun film.

-I saw this in the theater when it had its one week run. During Helen’s glass breaking, I was doing everything I could to not pop. I was in the back mouthing “YES!” and clenching my fist. I had been riding a high over something that was less than two weeks away and this kept it going.I don’t care what Ben Shapiro says. This movie was fantastic. -Benoit solving the murder mystery before it had even happened was hysterical. The arrow firing and the expression on Miles’ face as it hits him with “blood” spurting out was the perfect ending of that. -I loved the rewind back to reveal how Benoit was invited. Then, when they incorporated that with the rest of the movie that had happened, it fit well like how Back To The Future 2 took the events of the first one and added the plot of the second one to create a seamless movie. - Johnson manages to come up with the most unique casting choices. Seeing Dave Bautista here shows how far he’s come since doing a wrestling vignette where he came out of the Ohio River as Leviathan in WWE’s developmental system at the time. -I still think Benoit playing Among Us in the bathtub against Stephen Sondheim, Angela Landsbury, Natasha Lyonne, and Kereem Abdul Jabbar is one of the greatest “Wait. Is that….?” scenes. -I never realized that Derol was the same guy that played Trooper Wagner in “Knives Out.” -I’m not sure if I’d consider this is a sequel or further adventures.

Okay so in another react when they started spraying the "cure" on the people A girl said "lets see who has the best throat game" and leblanc almost didnt even blink when it was his turn lol

I definitely did the "You can't handle the truth" when fake Andi said she wanted the truth

Glad I'm not the only one who sees Edward Norton and thinks "Steve from The Italian Job." 😁

For all the times you said you weren't smart enough for this movie, you are the only person I've seen to consistently guess the plot twists before they happen.

New Subscriber. Great Reaction, love the Callback to The Italian Job, I've watched several reactions to this and your the first to catch that❤

Janelle Monaé was hands down the standout performance for me in this movie. Kathryn Hahn was also great, and Daniel Craig… 🤌🏻

“So dumb it’s brilliant.” Sums up this entire movie more than I can put in a thousand words and I love that 😂

Hi, Jacqui. Idk if you remember me, I'm one of your Shame List follower. I'm a bit sad that Shame List isn't a thing no more. But, I'm glad to be one of your followers. And again, your reaction is great as always. Keep it up. 👍👍

I adore your reactions and editing. You're three for three. I'm excited for more from your channel, Jacqui! Applause for your ingenious use of "Word Crimes" by Weird Al.

Good to see you back - after developing your own channel. I enjoyed the movie, but I liked the first one more.

I like that, no matter who you are, there's at least one person in this movie who's smarter than you are, but there's also at least one person who's dumber than you are. Us, in the audience? We're all somewhere in the middle. That being said, when Blanc told Miles that the box had contained simple, children's puzzles, it turned out that he was lying. He'd had the box delivered to him in pieces. 🙂

Johnson did a very good job (and a difficult one) of making sure it was a satisfying "Benoit Blanc" mystery, but also making its setting and plot structure very different, so there's no sense of just seeing the same movie with a slightly bigger budget. You did well in picking up clues and making guesses, but that's in part because Johnson has no interest in cheating the audience. He gives a fair chance of working it out as it goes. (Although having said that, Knives Out was trickier because it had the illusion of turning from a murder-mystery into a Hitchcock-style thriller for its second act.) I asked a friend about if he predicted a movie's twist once (not a Johnson film), and he said no he didn't - because you can't; the filmmaker just didn't give you enough information *to* guess it. Johnson doesn't do that. He gives you a fair shot (no pun intended).

I enjoy that so much of your vocabulary is taken from The Good Place.

"It's like putting a loaded gun on the table and turning off this lights!" "Thanks, Freddy Foreshadowing"

my brother and sister IMMEDIATELY noticed Miles handing Duke the glass and I was like, what? and we had to replay it.

@MovieNightwithJaqui It is so telling that you say Edward Norton from The Italian Job, instead of Fight Club, American History X, or Wes Anderson. BTW, You can see everything in the movie. It shows you Norton pouring a drink with Pineapple juice and then switching the glasses. Then him stealing the gun. They just don't over do it. If you haven't ever seen the movie CLUE you should put it on your list because they do the exact same thing. You have to look for visual clues, they don't make it easy with audio clues. Also, this movie is making fun of Elon Musk.

The biggest hole in this story is that it is in Greece instead of the Florida keys or some other US coastal island. It is almost impossible to get a firearm, especially a handgun, into a European country. And Greece is more restrictive than most others. Dave Bautista's character would never have gotten it past Greek customs, let alone been able to OPEN CARRY it or discharge it on the pier in the port town.

I enjoy them both, but I think Glass Onion is more of a fun murder romp.

Comment made before I started watching your reaction: Thank you for reviewing one of my favs of 2022. Netflix signed Rian Johnson to do at least two more of the series on the streaming service. I don't know if Knives Out is an official part of the trilogy because it was a theatrical release. Is there any chance you'll watch Everything Everywhere All At Once for the channel?

First, thank you for thoroughly entertaining me, an old woman with way too much time of her own. Indeed I really enjoyed your reactions to Rian Johnson’s « Glass Onion ». I did for five main reasons: 1) Your comments were relevant, smart and to the point. BTW let me vouch personally for the one about not going into business with friends as it could ruin your friendship, a compounded gaffe if you add family members to the mix, which I unfortunately did in my youth. But eh!, as Craig’s Bond says himself to Vesper on the beach: « Lesson learned! ». 2) Your pleasant and animated face reacting to what you were watching. 3) The time and efforts you put into enriching your video with fun images or relevant quotes from famous movies. 4) The movies you reacted at so far are all favourites of mines. 5) The care you took to dress according to the movie you’re about to watch. It’s good to learn your reason for picking your outfit when you react to a movie. So I subscribed to your channel and chose the fully black bell so I know you just added a new reaction set to your channel. Until next time, ❤❤❤ from French Quebec, Canada.

I don't think there's anything to really nitpick in regards to what information the movie gives the audience and whether or not they had the chance to solve the mystery themselves. Like, there isn't really anything withheld to conceal the answers. Benoit might have known more than we did at the start, but by the end when he starts laying it all out, we've been given all the same information he has. Like, if you're upset that you couldn't predict Andi was dead and we've been watching her twin pose as her the whole time, the reason you weren't given enough clues to guess that is because that's just the midpoint twist, not the final conclusion. The twist IS information you're being given so that you can solve the actual mystery.

I noticed Miles giving Duke his glass and Blanc calling Helen by her name, but in a 'murder mystery', I try to notice everything I possibly can. This film has a couple things in it that I really don't like. First of all, there's no way Miles would let Blanc keep that hydrogen crystal. Hold it and look at it, but not keep it. Secondly, if the gang was all at Andi's house that night, there's no way that none of them heard Andi's car running in the garage. But the main thing is that just because Miles has the envelope doesn't mean he killed Andi. Blanc's theory was that someone brought it there to give to him. They could have already given it to him, so that plot point was meh for me. I enjoyed your reaction. Keep up the good work.

On the second watch you do see the clues ( and a lot more). Benoit did not see something at Dukes body, he smelt the Pineapple.

Netflix paid $479 million for the rights to Knives out 2 and 3 so there will be another. The director, producer and Daniel Craig each got $100 million.

This was a great reaction! You nailed a lot of the guesses

I would recommend checking out the 1920 silent horror classic called The Golem: How He Came into the World, if that's OKay? It's a great little horror movie about the creation of an artificial clay monster in order to save the Jews. I think it'd be cool to see someone cover the movie about the monster of Jewish fairy tales and Jewish folklore. It's really creepy, weird, and atmospheric in the best ways.

Another movie sort of along these lines is "The Menu"

Great movie. It didn’t grab me quite as quickly as Knives Out, but I think it’s actually more clever and rewatchable.

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 British house with a patriarch and his dysfunctional family (old money-ish). The sequel was set on a private Greek island of a 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 in the sun.

An entertaining movie and reaction from your side! I love that Daniel Craig really worked hard for that funny accent in this movie, he sounds so different in comparison to the Bond movies.

So glad I found your channel you're such a fun reactor! Can't wait to see what you react to next.

Hi Jacqui! Well done for getting this uploaded! I loved this movie. It is more of a mystery - style movie than a traditional whodunit, with vital information withheld from the audience. Some grumpy critics have whined on that score. It doesn't take away from what the movie is.

Oh my GOSH it's uploaded! YAYYY!

Loved the reaction! I’m a huge fan of the first and this lived up to the hype as a sequel. Also they are already doing a 3rd movie. Netflix bought the rights after KO came out under the stipulation that 2 more be made.

6:17 I thought I was the only person who remembered him that way! Since you've seen the remake I hope you've seen the original Italian Job, an absolutely classic British movie.

Teddy Roosevelt was saved by his speech book.

I didn’t realize you were a new ish KZfaqr, great content by the way. Subscribed

I like your reaction 😊 That’s great you don’t have problems anymore with KZfaq ❤

EVERYBODY else's mind went there. That's the "truth". Love your reactions, love your choice of colours ... fall or not ... and red IS always better. If in doubt, just ask Donna, in Suits!! And she knows everything! Also, you're not stupid!The whole point of these movies is that we don't figure them out. We're supposed to be along for the ride!! I remember seeing The 6th Sense in the cinema when it first came out. A gang of us went. We were all ... WOW. Except for one of our group, who figured it out in the first few minutes. As clever as he was, I remember thinking, and saying over pints after the movie ... how sad for you. The only reason you sat through the movie was to prove yourself correct, while we all just enjoyed the ride, and the twist. Movies are suposed to be entertainment, first and foremost. If they make you think, even better, but ... their first priority ...

I mean, if you like these Rian Johnson mysteries, why not check out the 1970s mystery that inspired him? The Last of Sheila (1973) was written by Stephen Sondheim (West Side Story) and Anthony Perkins (Psycho), with an all-star cast (James Mason, James Coburn, Richard Benjamin, Diane Cannon, Raquel Welch, Ian McShane, Joan Hackett)...and is possibly the most perfect murder mystery film ever. It's a film that really tells you everything ahead of time, and you will be kicking yourself for missing the clues. It's a mystery that doesn't cheat.

If you haven't seen it can you please do Erin Brockovich and Jerry Maguire. Love your reactions!

You need to watch "Murder by Death" and Clue"

Do I have good detective skills if I knew Edward Norton was the killer the moment the cast list was revealed?

Now, I love you even more....I SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT EDWARD NORTON!!! Miles is similar to Steve in The Italian Job.

Great reactions to the sequel Glass Onion, Jacqui!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽After multiple viewings of this film, something did occur to me. Once it was revealed that Andi was Helen, why didn't Helen go back to her own accent? I do like this one better than the first film. A third film would be great!🙂

I saw in the cinema (and 4 times since), it was my third favourite film of last year and whilst I prefer the mystery of the first, this one is just so much fun I can’t resist going back. Along with Paddington In Peru, the third Benoit Blanc film is my most anticipated threequel. Also I can recommend the Paddingtons to react to.

A Top Gear Reference and a Monty Python reference? Did we just become best friends?

your shirt is SO CUTE

I didn’t like this movie until I heard all the Easter eggs that put it into context. While I still don’t think it’s as good as Knives Out, it’s really leapt up in rating over the last few weeks as I get other people’s take on it. Nice choice.

There are sooooooo many good flicks to watch.....I noticed you have not watched Army of Darkness. That is a must see!!!

Did you catch that the stoner briefly seen hanging out at Miles' house, is the same actor that played the Benoit Blanc fanboy detective in Knives Out? ;)

You're good at this. Keep up the good work lady 👍

Joseph Gordon-Levitt voices Miles's clock, the Hourly Dong

Really love your channel. Subscribed.

You say you're not smart but consistently the entire movie predict the plot based on intuition and what you've seen. You're definitely smart don't sell yourself short!

Everyone's mind goes to Jack Nicholson when it comes to "truth."

Doesn't make this less great, but it's funny how Benoit Blanc has the body type of a bouncer (or, James Bond)

Yeah this movie, I doubt you can figure out yourself until very late. Most of it is about having to fill the blanks to fit a certain narrative and a narrative can be anything. Once the things start to fall into place, its realy fun though.

Yeah, it's not a "proper" whodunnit, because there's really no way for the audience to know that ...SPOILERS... "Andi" is actually her twin in the first half - but the clues for everything else are there. I actually thought that was clever, considering that the vast majority of people are seeing this movie on a streaming platform and not in the theatre, so they can easily rewatch it and notice all the little things they overlooked the first time (like Miles' misuse of words or Helen dropping her phone into Birdie's bag).

You have to react to ''The Menu''.

Miles is so Elon Musk it is hilarious. 18:33 "Whoever killed her knows shes dead", unless he/she didn't bother to check if she actually died (AKA an idiot). From the description given it sounds like the killer drugged her to knock her out, then searched and found the letter, then put her in her car in the garage and started the engine. Then just left, so when the killer saw her he/she just assumed they failed and Andi came to reveal what had been done. 28:28 You need to watch the movie a second time, you can literally see all the clues. I have watched it 4 times know and I pick up on more stuff each time I watch it (the first watch thru I turned my brain off and just enjoyed the ride).

'Steve from the Italian Job' ?? For a second I scoffed at your mispronunciation of Norton and then you reference that amazing niche heist movie? Bravo! So dumb its brilliant

Ok I just wanted to let you know this: I always give different content providers a shot, especially reaction videos. But just a few minutes into your video I had to cut it off. The problem was your use of DINGS to notate text on the screen. I know alot of content providers use this because they think it's cutesy, but the problem for me is my dog is hypersensitive to these dings and goes into a mini panic attack whenever they come up. He starts shaking and panting uncontrollably. It's why I had to stop viewing other channels who like to do this as well (i.e. Cinemasins). I was really enjoying your reaction aside from that but if this is something you use on a regular basis I can't subscribe to your channel. Anyway, I just wanted to point this out because I can't be the only one who has this issue. But just to show I'm not trying to be critical, I gave your video a thumbs up, because like I said, I was enjoying your reaction otherwise.

Next RRR?

J, I think you should've watched "Knives Out" first. 🤔

Love your reactions. Would love to help you chip away at that student debt. Feel free to ask me how.

At the end of day Helen did push the button that destroyed the Mona Lisa. I really don't think the French would let her get away with that. She would do some prison time. The politician and the science guy would also be ruined by their association with Miles.
