    My favorite detail about this movie is the subplot involving the baseball. When Richard throws the ball out the window of Harlan's office, it triggers a series of events that ultimately leads to Linda finding the letter her father wrote. After it is thrown outside, it is found by Blanc during his outside investigation. He ends up throwing the baseball for the dog, who fetches it and brings it back inside. Towards the end of the movie, Linda takes the ball from the dog's mouth and returns it to its rightful spot on the desk in Harlan's office. Lo and behold, the letter is sitting right there on the desk. In other words, if Richard had never thrown the baseball through the window, Linda would have never found out that he was cheating on her.

    The flashbacks for each person's story are filled with a lot of great touches to show they are unreliable narrators. When everybody tells their story they are sitting next to Harlan. It is clear how much they care about Marta from the get-go because none of them know where she is from, they all say different countries. They might perceive putting a plate down in their story but in Marta's you see they are handing it to her as if she's a server. This and the sequel, Glass Onion, are worth a couple watches to see all the nuances.

    -Linda giving her the lightest condescending tap of a hug
    -Richard instinctively handing her his empty plate like she’s a maid and not his father in laws fucking nurse. (21:44)
    -Joni somehow not even noticing Marta standing awkwardly in the corner of Harlan’s study.
    -Walt not mentioning Marta was the one that called attention to the time in his testimony

    In the movie, you can see the realization on Harlan face the moment he knew Ransom was behind the mixing of medications. The movie stated that Harlan and Ransom played games. Harlan was not going to let Ransom pin it on Marta to get the inheritance after he cut him out. He was going to win at all costs, even if it meant he was going to die.

    • @BlackCampariBlue
      @BlackCampariBlue Рік тому +42

      that's an excellent point! I was wondering if Harlan, as an author of crime literature, figured out what was happening and had full control over the incidents that unraveled after his death.
      When Marta was counting off the symptoms that should come up in the next 10 minutes leading up to his death, Harlan didn't show any of these. That was very noticable to me - he's extremely intelligent and I couldn't believe that in his calm state, he wouldn't notice that he felt physically fine even though he was supposed to be close to death

    • @JakeAndKyra
      @JakeAndKyra 5 місяців тому +15

    The whole thing with the baseball had nothing to do with the murder mystery: it was being set up to pay off Linda finding out about the affair at the end of the movie. She was only in Harlan’s office to put the ball back, and that’s when she found the note with the invisible ink. Had her husband not thrown the ball out the window near the beginning, she wouldn’t have gone in there and found the letter. It was done in such a way that you think the ball will play a part in solving the murder mystery, but it doesn’t.

Like LOOK at Harlan's FACE! UGGHHHHH MY HEART! You can tell that he just loves her so much, as his friend and like a daughter. Watch the way he looks at her! And Marta's expressions of distraught throughout are just so moving. RIP Christopher Plummer.

    I love this movie (so much), so I thought I'd drop some tidbits about it y'all might not know if you (likely) aren't obsessing over this movie like me!
    4:03 I'm in love with the entirety of the set, and the books in this shot are just another cool feature. Harlan's own books, if y'all didn't notice :)
    7:53 Peep Meg's shirt LOL love it
    8:15 Every time Blanc hits the key, he's telling the detectives to ask what time each family member arrived at the party
    10:04 I'm pretty sure they only filmed this scene once, and man was it perfect. the lighting throughout this movie too is just so great
    10:42 not really insight but these shots with the family photos helping to establish the groupings of the family members are cool, PLUS the carved elephants! ("Turn before the carved elephant. After the carved elephant. Beafterfore, the carved elephant.")
    12:49 Rian Johnson (the director) commented that it's a pathetic throw too which is so funny to me!!! Supposed to show a petty little action! One that ultimately led to Linda finding out about the affair, because she finds the letter as she is putting the baseball back into place.
    15:04 Quick note, but something y'all should look out for upon rewatch. These gorgeous eyelines for the camera, of placing the actors in a triangle/pyramid shape. Adds movement while also a sort of connectedness throughout the shot, and these triangle formations are very common throughout the film!
    17:38 "There's so much of me in that kid" great line showing us how Ransom has that kind of mystery element to him, and thinks kind of like his grandfather does. The idea for a crazy murder scheme (and the way out of it) was thought up by him in a similar way to how Harlan thinks up his books. Something not easy for everyone, like as the detectives remark: "Cow and the shotgun? How do you come up with that?"
    18:34 Rian Johnson really is pointing out to us another possibility to the situation we're watching. "If someone purposefully switched the medicine..." and yet I feel the end is still shocking. He does this a lot, which makes rewatching it feel so fun. Ransom's name is RANSOM for God's sake!
    19:55 Marta climbs into the trick window in the same way that we see in the painting ON the window!
    20:04 ONE OF MY FAV LINES "that an average cop will entirely dismiss you as a subject" because the detectives did completely dismiss Marta!
    20:23 I don't think it was shown in this video, but there's a line where a family member says that "the ideas/plots [of his mystery books] would pop into Harlan's head fully formed," just like it did for him here! ugh so good
    21:43 Don Johnson handing Marta the plate KILLS me-- especially because he came up with it himself. It's just so awful and shows exactly how Richard considers Marta "the help" rather than "a family member" as they all claim (and he even says at 9:02), just with one little gesture.
    28:01 Originally the line was like "fuck you" or something but 'fuck' would have made the rating on the movie mature rather than pg-13
    30:13 a line Jaedan Martell (Jacob's actor) came up with too. Snooty, racist, and perfect characterization.
    31:09 THE BEST THING EVER. Subtle puns!!!! Marta needs to "SPILL THE BEANS!" either by telling the truth or literally vomiting beans. It took me a couple watches to notice and when I did I was like oh come on that's too perfect!
    31:56 Peep Alan's assistant sleeping in the background because of just how long they've been arguing lol
    38:01 Another cool shot-- Marta's hanging cross, and the reflection of the telephone pole looking like a cross in the glass.
    40:29 Look at the table on the left side. They found a stature of two German shepherds for the set, like the two dogs the family has! SO GOOD
    41:19 As Blanc uncovers what truly happened, his head fills the hole in the circle of knives. THE DONUT HOLE IN THE DONUT'S HOLE :D
    42:50 Earlier Harlan said "why do men instinctually pull at loose threads on their parachutes" or something like that and here we can see that coming to fruition. If Harlan hadn't pulled at it, he would be alive.
    43:20 Not shown in this video, but in the scene in the background you can see the jugs that you see used in the clip of burning down the examiner's office.
    44:08 Great reason for the casting. We all trust Chris Evans, Captain America, right! Rian Johnson uses that to his advantage 100%
    44:42 Another connection I LOVE! Fran yells: "I'm warning you!" Just like what Ransom said to Harlan in the study!
    There's a million and a half more things that I could talk about forever, like the floral patterns constantly throughout (tablecloths, clothes, curtains), to Blanc's little puns (the game's aFOOT (because he saw the blood on Marta's shoe). How they all say Marta is from a different country, and that they were each somehow "outvoted" on her invitation to Harlan's funeral. The metaphor of playing a game. The New Yorker article and tweet, the usage of apple devices, the Joseph Gordon-Levitt cameo. The set pieces that are references to other movies, the lighting and shot choices, the outfit choices. THE SCORE. I could write my honors thesis about this movie. Alas, poor Yorick, I don't have all day lmao. I hope some of these were interesting to y'all!

It's like you said, the good person won. After all everyone in the movie tried to get money or "win" but she just tried to not end up in prison and was still a good person f.e. when she tells Blanc that nobody of them is a murderer in her eyes. It's so satisfying. Also you basically think you know how it went in the first 10 minutes but you as a viewer root for her it's so great!

    It's revealing that the detective asks if anyone other than the family was there and Linda (JLC) includes Harlan's mother on that list. She doesn't consider Harlan's mother to be part of the family? Why, because she is old and her mind isn't what it used to be? Terrible.

There's another movie where Chris plays main villain - The Gray Man, it's f*cking awesome, you should check it out. )

      I do think there are directors who are better at making their own original projects than they are at working with pre-existing IP. Original projects give them a level of freedom that properties like Star Wars can't really afford them because they're restricted by crafting a story that fits within the rules and formulas of those IPs. Some directors can find that to be a major hindrance to their storytelling ability.

    Knives Out is genuinely such an incredibly well thought out and amazing film. I truly was mind blown by the amount of twists and turns and just incredible writing when I first watched it. Chris Evans did incredible as Ransom, it's cool to see him tap into a "bad guy" side. Ana De Armas killed it too! Fun fact about the movie, Chris Evans loves dogs in real life - so having to act as if he hated dogs during that one scene sucked for him he said. 😂

"Untrustworthy narrator" is probably one of the coolest twists if done right, and by god is it done tastefully in this movie.

It was just a simple murder mystery and I think that was what benefitted the film the most...left room for great writing... plot twists all around that all made sense and the acting from the star studded cast was just the cherry on the top! There was not a moment in this film that felt dull... One of my favorite films of all time...

    @sunshinemerlot9790 Рік тому +8

    I love this movie. This is one of those movies that even if you know the ending, you can still watch over and over just because it is so good. None of the characters are caricatures and you genuinely root for Marta and sometimes even the other characters, because even though they are flawed, they still come off as real. Unfortunately, I can not say the same about Glass Onion. I know a lot of people like that movie but to me, the characters come off as one-dimensional and are not wholly developed. They are just box-ticking characters. The one person the audience is suppose to root for doesn't even show up until 3/4 of the movie is done. You don't actually get to know this person. Not to mention that the cast of Knives Out are all A list actors at the top of their game and the actors in G.O. are goodish but they are not in the same league. If you do watch G.O., I would put some time between the two movies. I think you would be disappointed if you watch G.O. close behind Knives Out. It pales in comparison. K.O. is an A+ movie whereas G.O. is a C, at best, in my opinion.

Younger one is of course a spaz, older one...didn't know how to be a dog before we got the younger one. She's FINALLY finding her voice lol. Fiance got her from a shelter, and the shelter found her in a dumpster. Heavily pregnant. With blood on her face that...was not hers. Only time she's ever bitten someone. Puppy mill dumped her there, after some idiot there abused her. Now, that SHOULD result in one less idiot in the world, but. Soon as she got her teeth in him, she decided she did not LIKE biting people and immediately stopped. ...This dog is DEEPLY special.
