This movie really shines on repeat watches. Pretty much EVERYTHING is shown. Blanc even calls her "Helen" before the sister reveal. Look for the glass switch, Miles taking Duke's gun, the missing phone and even Miles having the gun in the shadows.
They also show Birdie’s bag shake/move behind her when Helen throws the recorder in, as well as Miles having Duke’s phone, and I’ve heard (though I’ve not had the chance to spot this one myself yet…) that you can make out the fact that it’s actually an article on Andi’s death on Duke’s phone when he shows it to Miles. (I believe you can see it after he shows it to Miles and goes to put it away _but_ I could be wrong, it could also be right before Miles sees it.) It really is (mostly) all right out there for us in plain sight.)
One of the _many_ things I love about this movie is how every time glass breaks the movie amps up/there‘s a major shift. (Almost like what would happen if you tried to actually peel back the layers of a glass onion, they would simply just shatter.) The glass table shatters when Duke falls on it as he’s dying (The _real_ murder mystery begins to take place, as far as we know anyway.), the glass pane cracks and shatters a bit when the gunman shots through it to take out “Andi” (The murder mystery amps up more _and_ then we go back in time and discover the truth about Andi/Helen, the napkin, who invited/hired Blanc, etc.), and then finally when Helen shatters her glass and, along with the others, smashes all of his glass artwork/the piano (Helen gets her revenge on Miles and his “friends” finally turn on him.). I just find all of that _so_ friggin’ brilliant! When I heard the title of the film was “Glass Onion” I _never_ thought that it would be so heavily incorporated into the film. Especially at such an impressive level! First you have the most obvious with it being the name of the old bar where they all met Miles/became a tight knit group, as well as where the hung out as they all began accomplishing their dreams (And there was the callback at the end with it being on the napkin, proving it to be the original, not that it ended up mattering though.), then there was Miles’ island being called the Glass Onion, along with the Glass Onion room/building, then there was how Blanc likened solving the whole case to a Glass Onion since it seemed extremely layered but really Miles is just an idiot and it was out in plain sight for everyone, then there’s all of the glass breaking anytime things become more intense or take a major turn, which is what would happen should you actually try to peel back the layers of a Glass Onion, and _finally_ we have the interesting point that someone else wrote a comment about (Which I added onto in their comment via a reply. LOL.), which is how, if you go back and rewatch the film, and look out for them, so many things were shown to us _before_ they were revealed to us (Such as Miles switching drinks with Duke/Blanc calling Helen by her real name before the reveal, etc.), so again, something that seems very layered and complicated but in fact it was right there, right in front of us to see. So when you look it like that, right there the movie has 5 layers to it’s own damn name. LOL. (Sorry for the long comment and going on so much about how the name ties into the movie so well and in so many different ways. This was my first time putting that all together so I was very excited about it and had to type it all out to really see it for myself. LOL. Sorry again!)
Amazing breakdown! There's also the metaphorical glass Onion in the story, with the layers that you can't peel. (And maybe a joke to be made somehow about how cutting it doesn't make you cry? Idk)
I didn't love the movie, but your reaction was fun. This wasn't quite as bad as Knives Out but really nothing happened in either of them. This would be a great radio drama.
Raise your hand if you always thought the Mona Lisa was a crap painting. That, aside from the fact that it's cherished by like the whole world and created by a true master and therefore should never ever be harmed, it just never sparked more than shrug from you. 🖐
The paintings fame is only a century old. It was stolen and missing for a few years before being returned, the Headlines made it famous, before then, it was just a C tier Di Vinci portrait.

Noah Segan as "Derol" was the random guy. He was trooper Wagner from Knives Out and has been in every Rian Johnson movie.

That ending shot is perfect. Helen, perfectly posed, with the same smirk as the Mona Lisa.
Both were good but I agree. I like the first one better too
6:05 And Duke's mum is smarter than any of them.......
The weird guy wandering around is played by the same actor as Trooper Wagner in the first.
I liked the first one more too. I will say that I thought this one was funnier
That's a very fancy drink you've got!
😃 It's essentially a Cosmo. 🍸🍹
@@movieswithmom notice Hugh Grant answered the door in the beginning?
Lovely ❤reaction 🎉
Whiskey and miles tho 😏❤
I thought the first was better, the elite friend-group dynamic wasn’t as fun as the family in Knives out.
Agreed
Thats so awesome you homeschool - we homeschool our boys too

Possibly a bit too cerebral for you, then?🤔 Stick to movies more suited to viewers of low intelligence!

@@NathanS__ I didn't know that, but I love that history lesson, makes sense, thanks! :)
Not going to watch Knives Out first?
I watched Knives Out before I started the channel. I really liked it!
@@movieswithmom Oh nice! I hope you like/liked Glass Onion, too! 😃
