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 KZitem 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

-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.

It was noticed missing by a painter the next day and the Louvre shut down for a week looking for it. It remained missing for 2 years.

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 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.

You get to see the original con (or mystery in this case) from the perspective out a outsider, and then as the movie/show moves on you get more reveled. I think it is a very fun way to tell a story, and in the end, at least to me, it feels like a puzzle clicking itself together on the screen.

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

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.

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.

Something that was pointed out on another page was the fact that Miles dresses like other people. When they flashback to when they first met, Miles is dressed like Tom Cruise from Magnolia. Later he’s dressed like Steve Jobs in the black long sleeve outfit. The man truly has no creativity.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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).

Both 😊 I saw the remake when it first came out and absolutely fell in love with it--and Mini Coopers. I wanted one for years, and my family laughed so hard when I finally got one (2018), because they knew exactly why. I even named her Stella after Charlize Theron's character. The remake will always be special to me, just because it was my first experience, but I love the original, and my dream is to eventually own a fully restored 1960s Mini.
