In the email before she died, Andi said she would burn Miles's empire to the ground. More poetic justice. Also, during Miles's disruptor speech, he said first you break something people want broken (glass sculptures), then you take it a step further and people start to protest (the one-of-a-kind piano), and then you break the one thing that the whole world doesn't want you to break (the Mona Lisa).
The image of a glass onion is a fine metaphor for someone who tries to look complicated and layered, but is actually transparent to anyone who can see through the BS.
I also love how this movie is an inversion of knives out, the first film was a crime which at first seemed pretty straight forward but ended up being far more layered, complex and devious than it first appeared. The 2nd movies crime however seems complex and multi layered from the very beginning, however ends up actually being very straight forward and almost predictable behind all the smoke and mirrors just like the titular glass onion.
Janelle Monae is an incredible music artist. The fact that you recognized her as an amazing actress also is something. Her performance in this makes her a movie star for sure.
The biggest clue for me was when Birdie said that Miles doesn’t even have a phone and the entire time after Duke dies you can see a phone in Miles back pocket. Also I noticed miles taking something from duke but didn’t know what it was until the gun was missing. I did not call the twin thing. I feel that would’ve been hard to guess up until Daniel Craig calls Andi ‘Helen’ right before she dies which I was like what? Haha
What kills me is the first time watching this movie, when Miles said, "everyone look at Birdie!" I knew immediately that I should do the opposite and not look at Birdie. So I stopped watching the screen and stared at the floor instead! Such a dumb, dumb decision even though the instinct was right.
What? What am i missing?? lol I just feel like Homer Simpson right now Homer: "Zookeper, those two monkeys are killing eachother!!" *Zookeeper whispers* Homer: Oh!
@@AdamfromFWCI Hahaha! The director Rian Johnson mentioned somewhere in an interview that Benoit is gay, so the movie is implying Hugh Grant is his partner!
(1) 3:18 - 3:22 "...is someone going to be replaced with a double?". Wow, spot on! (2) 4:05 - 4:24 - Helen was not doing well financially and she was the hero of this whole thing. The "disruptors" where financially dependent on Bron and stabbed Andi in the back for that reason. Also, Andi was cut out of her multi-billion dollar company and that became the catalyst to all this. (3) 4:25 - 4:40 - Bron is the fool on the hill. Amazing. Your theory at the beginning was pretty good. When you watch this movie again you will pick up somethings that I saw that you missed in this viewing.
This movie was a lot of fun and loved seeing Angela Lansbury(RIP) at the beginning playing Among Us with Benoir. I grew up watching Murder, She Wrote so seeing her again was sweet. I agree its a great movie but Knives Out just edges it out for me.
I think your glass onion theory did make sense! When you said how the song was written just to confuse and meant to be nonsense with nothing really encrypted, I thought it tied in real nice with Blanc exposing Miles to just be sprouting nonsense and not the genius the world does not understand! That the culprit would be who it most straightforwardly would be, not anything complicated like who’d be protecting who, but simply the biggest one who stands to gain from andi’s death. Also I guess the island itself is a hole in the sea, and they were sorta always along a shore or on a boat 😌 appreciate the breakdown of the lyrics, I think it was a good attempt with some merit!
Lol thanks! I'm certainly no professional, but I had to give it a crack lol. I think the Fool on the Hill line was the smoking gun though. Amazing movie, I hope someone with actual detective skills does a breakdown lol
Kareem really does fit into this murder mystery world. If you don’t know already, he’s generally considered a bonafide Sherlock Holmes expert and has written several Mycroft Holmes novels.
@@AdamfromFWCI I guess he got tired of dragging Walton and Lanier up and down the court all night, busting his buns. Writing is a lot more relaxing for him no doubt.
Amazing reply! lol I havent reacted to Airplane, on account of having seen it 100,000 times before. But I do react to Awkward Ashleigh's Airplane reaction, and pause and add my thoughts on the movie throughout, you might enjoy that
The fact you predicted someone is going to pose as someone who is dead, that a woman is trying to make end's meet, and the focus on the empowerment of black women...before the movie even started...just on the song lyrics themselves...genius.
Whoo hoo! You knew the Blackbird song! I had to look it up and I’m a black woman 😂. I’m sure Blanc picked up on it. Meanwhile Miss Birdie Beyoncé Tubman though it was about her ..😂
Ooooh, good catch. That's hilarious. I'm gonna rewatch this and make sure I don't knock myself out head slapping myself whenever Birdie opens her mouth. 🤣🤣
Oh. My. God. Sooo… I _love_ this movie. (I actually prefer it to _Knives Out,_ which I _greatly_ enjoyed. This one is just a little more my style/speed.) And I have watched it 3 times already since it came out (The 2nd and 3rd times were me introducing it to/watching it with different friends. However, I’m probably gonna watch it again on my own, here in the next few days.) as well as _countless_ first time reactions to it. Legit _countless._ (I’m getting over Covid and watching folks react to _Glass Onion_ has recently become my “safe space”. It _really_ helps me out anytime I’m sad/uncomfortable/not feeling well.) So I have watched this movie many, MANY times. (It’s sooo fun on rewatches. Everything really is in plain sight and there are sooo many things to catch upon multiple rewatches, that fly right by on your first viewing.) Now, having watched this movie many, MANY times, one would think that I’ve caught everything that there is to see. But… NOPE! I just NOW realized that the reason Miles’ garden freaked the hell out when Blanc was smoking is because the ENTIRE ISLAND IS RUN ON EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN!! And, like, this isn’t even something setup for people to catch on multiple viewings. It’s simply just a movie detail that _makes sense._ LOL. I’m such a dummy. Also, Janelle Monáe is queen! 😍
Glad you stopped by! So how does my reaction stack up? Also I had a realisation today... the stoner is probably just that... some stoner buddy Miles let's live on his island
@@AdamfromFWCI I thought you did a swell job! I totally get that reaction channels have the difficult job of reacting (Duh. LOL.) a bunch without talking _too much_ and missing something and/or annoying their audience. Which I think you did a really nice of in this video! (So definitely keep up the great work!) And you’re absolutely right when it comes to Darrol! He’s just a random stoner who was there because he was down on his luck!
3:17 damn When you talked about how the song was meant to not make sense i was like 😯😯😯 because damn that fit perfectly with how Benoit explained everything at the end. How it makes no sense and it seems so much more complicated than it actually is, Miles made up words and it an idiot, he wasn't calculated, it was all very simple- glass onion, should have a lot of layers but you can easily see right through it. It was really smart of you to do that with the song!
This movie was actually inspired by The Last of Sheila, a 1970s murder mystery film that actually plays more like a whodunit, albeit a very twisty one. That might interest you.
Can I just say how refreshing it is to hear from a true Beatles fan about the lyrics, the meaning behind the songs… whether u got some right or wrong, this was def different from the other reaction videos. Thank u for ur musical touch!
One of my favorite little easter eggs in the movie is when Helen calls Benoit the wrld's greatest detective.He answers 'I am not Batman'. Listen to the underscore in that scene. Reference to Danny Elfman's theme for the dark knight.
3:48 I didn't make this connection until you brought up this line. Lady Madonna. The Mona Lisa is featured heavily in the emotional pay off of solving the mystery/satisfying comeuppance for the murder. Madonna can mean my lady like Madam so the lyric is basically lady my lady. But more importantly as it ties in the Mona Lisa. Mona is to Madonna as Ma’am is to Madam. Madonna Lisa makes the end meet with satisfying comeuppance.
Actually, I loved your take on how the Glass Onion lyrics tied into this movie and was a wonderfully, insightful and refreshing take on Rian's movie. I also feel some of the things you predicted were too literal, but was still applicable: **SPOILER WARNING** **SPOILER WARNING** **SPOILER WARNING** **SPOILER WARNING** **SPOILER WARNING** Bent-backed Tulips - something or someone who doesn't appear as they should be (Andi?) The Walrus Was Paul - Helen pretending to be Andi Lady Madonna - Reference to all the shitheads, Peg, Helen and Whiskey - people just trying to get by Fool on a Hill - Another Beatles song, which is about a misunderstood person who is very wise; ignoring that, could reference Miles as a very visible person who is just stupid. Fixing a Hole in the Ocean / Making a dovetailed joint - Trying to fix something that doesn't exist by doing something completely meaningless - it's like clout chasers or tech gurus - or like Metaverse - VR is an answer to a problem that doesn't exist Song Meant to Confuse - Miles Bron confuses by offering his interpretation before anyone can speak up; it ALWAYS takes more time and effort to debunk a falsehood, than to tell a lie. Rian Johnson's Knives Out films are of the "Eat-the-Rich" genre. In Knives Out he skewered Old Money (rich through inheritance); in the Glass Onion, he eviscerates New Money (tech "gurus" like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Zuckerberg and the whole hustle culture that creates clout-chasers and influence peddlers.) On my first watch I saw Miles puts his drink in Butch's hand On my second watch I saw Miles take the phone. On my third watch I saw the moment Miles take the gun and realized that he grabs Benoit in order to hide the phone in his back pocket
you forgot to mention that "fool on the hill" and "fixing a hole" are also Beatles' songs from previous albums (Magical Mystery Tour and Sgt. Peppers). But I loved what you did there at the beginning of the video. Also, I thought "I am the Walrus" was the song John Lennon made to drive people crazy with the nonsense, cause he heard people were analysing their lyrics on college classes, so he wrote this one kinda as a joke. Anyway, I'm also a huge Beatles' fan and would love to see you talking more about them (I'm kinda busy right now to s=dedicate myself to watching Get Back, but when I do, I'm gonna watch your reactions to it). Ok, now I'm gonna actually watch the rest of your reaction LOL Oh, and the asian guy is Yo-Yo Ma, a famous cello player. And Hugh Grant is Benoit's husband =D
Its Wake Me Up, Dead Man. Correct? Early predictions... someone dies and is replaced by a canadian police officer after they hold a lookalike contest and it fools everybody for decades....
@@AdamfromFWCI - and I was wondering...did the Louvre rip off Miles? At the end you see the Mona Lisa burning the canvas curling up...but the Mona Lisa was painted on a piece of wood. Theory? France just took Myles' money and slipped him a fake. And he's too dumb to know. He also hung Rothko's painting #207 upside down.
more for spooky season but i LOVE the scream series and their are a different set of killers each time ALSO much darker is the SAW series but even if we find out who done it in the 1st movie there are new people that follow in his footsteps it's not only seeing what cool traps but who is the new apprentise
Forget whodunnit movies and watch the Poirot TV series. That's the classic to one to sink your teeth in the genre. :) And there's a lot of Poirot in Benoit Blanc. Rian Johnson is a massive Agatha Christie fan.
I think the guy in the background (Darryl) is the caretaker of the estate. Rich people always have someone on site to take care of the property. Usually, it is a married couple.
I think he's just meant to be that loser friend that rich guys have that usually lives in their pool house or guest house. He's sort of Kaeto Kailin to Mile's being OJ Simpson. I do love that it's Noah Segan, who Rian Johnson loves putting in his movies, and of course, played Trooper Wagner in Knives Out. I really hope he plays a completely different character in the next movie.
A "sweatshop" is the name for a child labour factory with horrible working conditions. Sweatpants also start with the word Sweat... so Birdie thought a sweatshop would make sweatpants. Hope that helps! Bonne Année
I think the link between the glass onion song and the mystery is that they both seem layered and complex, but they're not. The lyrics to glass onion are simple nonsense, and so were the actions of the killer in the mystery. And one could easily see them for what they are as long as one doesn't get caught up in their appearances and make them more complicated than they are.
Good way to put it. The fans are frantically trying to figure out the mystery, but the author is just saying "nope.... this is just stupid, meaningless BS" lol
@@AdamfromFWCI it's alright mate, I knew already going into the cinema to see it, so it's not like I can be sure I would have picked it up on my own.. . It was still funny though 😅
I am always happy for my ignorance to be entertaining lol. It reminds me of the Simpsons scene where Homer (as a teen) sees the Monkeys doing it at the Zoo, "Zookeeper! Those monkeys are killing eachother!" LMAO!
Yes and no. Yes Paul's a lefty but he did become pretty good at writing songs on a right handed guitar because we're often all that was available. But that's a great pick up none the less. You may still be completely right
technically this is not a whodunit. it's not something you figure out, in a real whodunit, like Agatha christie, all the information is given to you so you can try to solve the puzzle, but these movies, and basically what I write, are moe like howdunits. you just enjoy the twits as they withhold information so you can enjoy the surprises. I REALLY ENJOY THESE THOUGH.
Not sure if southern Louisiana french does it different but it other dialects of french "blanc" would have the c be silent, like "blon" Blanc being the masculine form for the word for white (feminine wouod be blanche said kinda like blonsh)
Just getting to this after watching the movie for the first time last night. This one was funnier, but yeah I liked Knives Out better. I liked your guesses based on the song. Some of them were pretty close, some weren't. I wonder if Rian Johnson had the song in mind at all while making it. Just as a bit of inspiration even if not a 1:1 copy. Not sure copy is the right word but I can't think of the right word. Maybe it's inbreathiate.
@shanestephenson7339 Shane you've got a big day ahead. I reacted to all 3 episodes and I think I might be the only person to do a full proper reaction to it.
saw this movie & some reactions and had heard it was a Beetles song but that’s it, had nooo idea the song really does have so many similar themes!😭 thank you for sharing that
You are the second channel today I have seen doing this reaction. Wtf is it? I have no idea and will not watch a reaction unless I know what it is. But you still get a like, comment and view from me lol

🤯
It was Yo-Yo Ma, who slid into frame and explained the music to Birdie ;)
OMG!!!! Lol ok thats hilarious lol
This might even be my favorite cameo, and there were so many fine ones.
He explained it to Peg. Birdie was too busy trying to Shazam the song.

Actually, I loved your take on how the Glass Onion lyrics tied into this movie and was a wonderfully, insightful and refreshing take on Rian's movie. I also feel some of the things you predicted were too literal, but was still applicable:
**SPOILER WARNING**

Bent-backed Tulips - something or someone who doesn't appear as they should be (Andi?)
The Walrus Was Paul - Helen pretending to be Andi
Lady Madonna - Reference to all the shitheads, Peg, Helen and Whiskey - people just trying to get by
Fool on a Hill - Another Beatles song, which is about a misunderstood person who is very wise; ignoring that, could reference Miles as a very visible person who is just stupid.
Fixing a Hole in the Ocean / Making a dovetailed joint - Trying to fix something that doesn't exist by doing something completely meaningless - it's like clout chasers or tech gurus - or like Metaverse - VR is an answer to a problem that doesn't exist
Song Meant to Confuse - Miles Bron confuses by offering his interpretation before anyone can speak up; it ALWAYS takes more time and effort to debunk a falsehood, than to tell a lie.

A "sweatshop" is the name for a child labour factory with horrible working conditions.
Sweatpants also start with the word Sweat... so Birdie thought a sweatshop would make sweatpants.
Hope that helps!
Bonne Année
@@AdamfromFWCI Thank you Sir !
I think the link between the glass onion song and the mystery is that they both seem layered and complex, but they're not. The lyrics to glass onion are simple nonsense, and so were the actions of the killer in the mystery. And one could easily see them for what they are as long as one doesn't get caught up in their appearances and make them more complicated than they are.
Good way to put it.
The fans are frantically trying to figure out the mystery, but the author is just saying "nope.... this is just stupid, meaningless BS" lol
This needs multiple like buttons
If you liked that one you'll enjoy the movie "Deathtrap" with Christopher Reeve, a classic among classics.
I kinda wanted Claire to be the culprit. We could say it was Agatha all along. 🎶
Jk...sort of.
OMG its so obvious!!!!
Well done good sir, quality joke!
"Why is Hugh Grant his butler?" 👀 🤣
Yeah I feel like I'll never live that one down 🤣🤣
@@AdamfromFWCI it's alright mate, I knew already going into the cinema to see it, so it's not like I can be sure I would have picked it up on my own.. . It was still funny though 😅
I am always happy for my ignorance to be entertaining lol.
It reminds me of the Simpsons scene where Homer (as a teen) sees the Monkeys doing it at the Zoo, "Zookeeper! Those monkeys are killing eachother!" LMAO!
Well, one of your song-based guesses was right! Someone did die and get replaced by a double
Fixing a hole in the ocean could be referencing his plan to use Sea Water for Klear
"the guitar Paul wrote [Blackbird] on" should have been left-handed, right?
Yes and no. Yes Paul's a lefty but he did become pretty good at writing songs on a right handed guitar because we're often all that was available.
But that's a great pick up none the less. You may still be completely right
technically this is not a whodunit. it's not something you figure out, in a real whodunit, like Agatha christie, all the information is given to you so you can try to solve the puzzle, but these movies, and basically what I write, are moe like howdunits. you just enjoy the twits as they withhold information so you can enjoy the surprises. I REALLY ENJOY THESE THOUGH.
Not sure if southern Louisiana french does it different but it other dialects of french "blanc" would have the c be silent, like "blon"
Blanc being the masculine form for the word for white (feminine wouod be blanche said kinda like blonsh)
Interesting. In Cajun music, there's a waltz called Jolie Blon. But "blon" is a contraction of "blonde".
This is one of those movies that was cringey to me in the moment but I think it will be a good way to relive this time period in the future 😂
Just getting to this after watching the movie for the first time last night. This one was funnier, but yeah I liked Knives Out better. I liked your guesses based on the song. Some of them were pretty close, some weren't. I wonder if Rian Johnson had the song in mind at all while making it. Just as a bit of inspiration even if not a 1:1 copy. Not sure copy is the right word but I can't think of the right word. Maybe it's inbreathiate.
My Mrs noticed all his incorrect words on the first watch lol.
Did the prize pack arrive yet?
@@AdamfromFWCI Not yet
Here from the LOTR reactions 😊

@shanestephenson7339 Shane you've got a big day ahead.
I reacted to all 3 episodes and I think I might be the only person to do a full proper reaction to it.
3:18 Does it count if the double is also the one who fakes their death?
Yes lol
Aren't doves just white pidgeons?
The Last of Sheila
Darryl's already going through a midlife crisis, has all his belongings at Miles house, and then it goes and explodes. Dude, poor Darryl.
Omfg it's Miles Stoner Buddy!!!!!!
@@AdamfromFWCI Rian said he wrote Daryl (who was one of the cops in Knives Out) as a Kato Kaelin of the island (Remember him?).
saw this movie & some reactions and had heard it was a Beetles song but that’s it, had nooo idea the song really does have so many similar themes!😭 thank you for sharing that
Thankyou for that comment, thats very kind of you. I'm glad i was able to pass on some pointless trivia for you lol
3:17 oh my lmao
It's better than knives out by far. Loved it!
Modern woke pro-LGBTQ+ fellas: his sex partner!
Anti-woke conservative old fart fellas: his roommate!
Finally normal people: his butler :D

He looks like one of the bananas in p-jays old show from the 90s
You are the second channel today I have seen doing this reaction. Wtf is it? I have no idea and will not watch a reaction unless I know what it is. But you still get a like, comment and view from me lol
