Alright so Rian Johnson’s latest mystery sequel Glass Onion is finally on Netflix, so you poor chumps that missed it during that random week in theaters are finally in luck. Famed Detective Benoit Blanc is back at it, so in this video we’re going to slice open this Glass Onion, and do a full breakdown of the film, explain the twist ending, easter eggs, hidden details you may have missed, along with our reaction and review of this latest Netflix mystery movie.
With that out of the way, a huge thank you for clicking this, I’m your host Jared, now let’s get into Glass Onion.
Alright so Glass Onion quickly introduces our group of players, all having some sort of a connection, or let's say friendship, to a billionaire, playboy, philanthropist by the name of Miles Bron, each receiving similar mysterious puzzle boxes. While each jumps on a group chat to solve the puzzle together, the characters slowly reveal themselves. Claire Debella, the governor of Connecticut now running for the Senate, Lionel Toussaint, the head scientist for Miles's company named Alpha, Birdie Jay, a former supermodel turned fashion designer, and Duke Cody, a Twitch streamer and men's rights activist. Along with Peg, who is Birdie’s assistant, and Whiskey, Duke's girlfriend and Twitch channel assistant, so like hit that like button fam!
Together they solve the various puzzles of the puzzle box, revealing an onion looking shape with a personal invite to Bron’s private Greek island for a weekend murder mystery party getaway from the craziness that was 2020. Ironically the symbol on the invite is that of a Greek evil eye, or mati, which usually symbolizes a curse given by one person to another by way of a spiteful or bitter look. Hinting Bron may have some sort of power over the group.
Janelle Monáe’s character, Cassandra “Andi” Brand, also receives a puzzle box, however was NOT included in the group call, and instead shows her hilariously smashing the box to get the invite, rather than solving the puzzle. Meaning she’s unlike the others, and her current situation being in a robe in an unfinished basement adds to this. - Zábava

What I find weird about the Glass Onion is Peg. She's supposed to work for Jaybird, but she won't allow her to use her own phone, as if she has authority over her.
You missed out on one thing. During the flashback, before they get on the boat, Blanc tells Helen that Miles can't be the murderer because he's not an idiot and won't do it himself because of the publicity of the trial and when someone else would do it for him. That's why Blanc so angry when Miles does turn out to be an idiot, who drove even drove his own car to the murder and incriminated himself.
100% they need to keep making more. Each movie having nothing to do with the previous ones except Blanc coming back to solve murder mysteries!
I definitely second this
honestly, the movies make the stories really good and make me wish for like small catch up things on old cases like how everyone is now doing or something
@@theredfred2212there could be a story within a story, or a news clip, or ….
@@DawnDavidson could also have a small bonus clip talking about how Marta or Helen are doing, still unrelated to the case
If you haven't already, I recommend you see The Last of Sheila -- one of the movies this is based on. It's got an even better storyline and the most amazing weird cast ever.
He forgot to mention. You definitely notice this on rewatch. The reaction Bron gives when he sees “Andi” for the first time on the beach. He gives that OH SHIT look, knowing damn well he killed her. Like he’s seeing a ghost. It’s good because the director misdirects the audience with the prior mention of the trial that just happened that kicked out Andi, but it’s actually because he’s seeing helen on the island, knowing she know something is up.
One thing that bugs me - Bron was shocked at Hellen's reveal, too.
makes sense to me, he thought that he had simply failed to kill Andi since he didn't hang around to watch her die. and he is too much of an idiot to realise it was helen, who he presumably knew about.
@markanderson2690 I thought so too, but Duke showed him the news reports on Andi's death. After that, he still called Hellen - "Andi". He can't be that much of an idiot.
@@Beatrichay I took it as Andi didn't tell everyone about her sister, just a couple of people. They seemed more like acquaintances than true friends so she probably wouldn't have told the whole group maybe just 1 or 2 people since we find out that Birdie knew of her existence. So Bron not knowingwould make sense in that context (especially since helen was in her ear calling them s***heads that probably would have stuck in her mind)
Once I learned that Andi was dead and that Helen took her place, I knew Bron was the killer because of the his reaction.
At the start of the movie, Duke's mom was able to figure out the box and was even able to answer the puzzles while being distracted. This maybe a foreshadowing on how simplistic the puzzles and the mind of the villain really is.
Edit: wow! 400 likes! Thanks all!
It also shows how dumb the rest of the gang is.
Yes! And later we hear Benoit comment that the box contained *children's puzzles.* 😆 🤣 😂
Villain didn’t make the box though. He hired someone to make it
@@DVNVRI yup as the movie said, he is a vainglorious buffoon with no original ideas
@@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460 he never saw the box, he saw just the left over mess
The sweatpants being made at sweatshops part got me so good 😂
And the expression on Peg's face --like she felt so sorry that Birdie was that stupid.
CinemaWins pointed out the irony, that this is the most innocent mistake she makes and it ends up being the most harmful. Like yeah a racist twitter post is bad, but it doesn’t do any direct harm like owning a sweatshop does. Poor Birdie 😂
One thing I really liked that I don’t think a lot of people picked up on is that everytime during the scene where duke dies something happens that you can use to pick up on the overall mystery the camera pans to the Mona Lisa, which a lot of people have said the Mona lisa’s stare is very mysterious and gives off the vibe that she knows something you don’t. I love the symbolism of her almost being the person watching over everything teasing everytime something important happens that she saw but you won’t pick up on.
I knew the Mona Lisa wasn't going to make it to the end of the movie as soon as it was shown, and the Porsche. 😂😂😂
That and when Milles is talking about her mysterious knowing airs, the camera panned to Monáe's character, discreetly smiling.
Thank you Captain Obvious.
@@TheTruthKiwi Of course. That is the rule called "Checkov's gun". Russian dramaturg and writer Checkov said or wrote " If in the first act there is a gun on the wall, in the third act that gun should fire, should be used". As a rule, nothing is presented in movies without a reason.
@@ozymandiasultor9480 Ahhh, yes, I have heard of that but couldn't remember the name. Thanks for that man. The best crime dramas have a lot of red herrings to combate that movie trope. :p
Janelle Monae was soo captivating in this movie 😍 I loved every scene she’s in
FACT.
Nope. Not even once. The plank of wood acting was nearly impossible to watch. Just like this garbage heap of a movie.
@@Faceless_XIV Being miserable is your personal choice. Have fun
Yes she nailed that role!!!
@@Faceless_XIV but you watched
Apologies for the reupload, CZcams hit us with it being restricted to over 18s. Think it was cos of Bautista walking round tin them chaps. Apologies if this destroys your enjoyment of the video but I hope you have a good Christmas and New Year.
I thought I had time travelled 😂
"hit us with it being restricted to over 18"
yeah cause you suck
notice the tribute to ukraine and a huge mock against putin and russian forces. 1.40.45 - 1.41.00 - the dog has a rainbow tounge ;)
I don’t think that movie Kareem Abdul Jabar was in came out in 1954 considering Kareem would have been 7…
The only thing more irritating than You Tube 'bots leaping in, is that they never explain and never apologize. Egregious behavior of wannabe AI.😉
My whole family had Christmas brunch while wearing matching pajamas and then we piled into the living room to watch *The Glass Onion.* We loved it! Everyone was guessing along the way and no one got it perfectly right. The ending with the group of despots suddenly being on Helen's side was troubling. I found myself yelling at the TV that Helen should sue them all and have them charged for their previous perjury.
HAHAHAHA
Everyone turned on me because I just knew it would be * right from the beginning. Everyone yelling, told you so, that person is gone, and then...
Your family must suck!
Fr. She shouldn’t forgive them😭
Funny we did the same thing on Christmas day but everyone including me thought it was just dull and boring :). Just clever for clever sake. And I do like the first one a lot. Maybe need to watch it a second time, but i can't see that happening. Glad you enjoyed it, got it in the ear for choosing this film to watch :)
Did anyone notice that the puzzle boxes sent out at the beginning kind of represented the murder mystery. In the beginning layered clues and then the Andi/Helen reveal was like hammering to the end.
WOW. OH GOD, YES?!
NICE CATCH.
Very nice catch!
I think it was more like there was no need to solve anything because it was all easily accessible. The invitation was on the right (from Helen's perspective) side of the box, just below the surface. Most people are right handed, so just hitting the box there would have been enough to reveal it. The box wasn't even sturdy lol
O
The Helen of Troy thing makes kind of sense, especially when Benoit kept repeatedly saying that he had an Achilles heel for simple games
I liked how everyone invited to the island were the red herring. The fact that they made it more simplistic to where even Benoit says it was dumb xD and sloppy made it better for me, as well as relating the crime to a glass onion. Everything out in plain sight no matter how many layers there are.
it was in fact simple but the fact that there was no real evidence which could link Miles to the murders wasn't dumb imo.
@@soil80 Well there was until someone gave him the idea of burning the napkin...and then there were just eye witnesses left. That part wasn't dumb, but Miles himself is, since he had to steal the ideas from other people like Benoit, Lionel, Andi. But in the end after blowing up Andi's life, Helen then blew up his.
I was sure Bron would plan the murder mystery and then end up actually being murdered, which was another misdirect.
@@squamish4244 Same, but I'm glad that it was and wasn't simple.
Miles wasn't the brightest bulb. He stole all the idea from Andi then cut her out.
The fact that Daniel Craig is sponsored by omega only makes this deep cut revelation so much better. What a great film.
I guessed it was Edward Norton's character early on as it was him who brought everyone to that secluded island. I was shocked by the twist of Helen/Andy but still her attempted death still pointed to the killer. As who else knew about the double sided glass there?
"I like the glass onion, as a metaphor. An object that seems densely layered, but in reality, the centre is in plain sight." It was pretty obvious that Norton's character was suspicious, but that obviousness was the beauty of it.
p
That was the big reveal the twin sister. The rest was easy to figure out.
I made sure to copy my original comment... I thought that Glass Onion made Knives Out look like Blue's Clues. It. Was. BRILLIANT... I actually didn't even notice the red herrings. I always keep an open mind when it comes to whodunnits. As Derol's existence in the story implies - "just watch." Don't be the detective looking for obvious distractions. That's Blanc's job. Just let your mind be blown Klear open.
Ey thank you for coming back Matt, hope you have a great new year
Many obvious mistakes ruined it for me now that I think about it. 1. How is Duke not confused when he sees the alert for the death when he was with Andi a minute ago? 2. How did they turn on Miles so easily when they know that if they tesify against him they'll be accepting that they lied under oath, making them criminals as well? 3. Why on earth did Andi get a box when Miles had already killed here beforehand? 4. Why does Miles not do anything as soon as Andi and a world famous detective turn upto his party? Major red flag, send them back, simple.
@@priy4nsh Watch the movie again and you'll have all your answers. 😉
I felt the huge explosion at the end almost took me out of it
@@priy4nsh I’m fairly certain if he didn’t send her a box after a decade of doing so, after she was murdered it would look very suspicious.
I think Daniel Craig's Omega Watch, was more than just a hint to his Bond films. I think it's more of a foreshadowing of how opposite his character and Ed Norton's character are. Alpha and Omega are at opposite ends of the greek alphabet.
Miles is the eccentric and moronic head of Alpha (and antagonist) and Blanc is the down-to-earth genius detective and protagonist of the story.
On the boat Helen (as Andy) is standing next to some chairs with cushions that have the Omega symbol also prefacing that she'll be part of ending Bron.
Miles Bron mentions that the "gong" sound was composed by Phil Glass, as in Philip Glass who also composed the soundtrack for The Illusionist which starred Edward Norton. That was such a cool detail that he was the one who pointed out and a good nod to an otherwise fantastic mystery movie.
I absolutely loved this movie. Its clue but flipped on its head. Instead of the least likely suspect, was the most! The fact that Miles' stupidity was a core plot point of the film completely sold its brilliance to me. The one scene when Helen and Blanc are going over which of the people could be suspects, and Blanc shuts down the idea of it being Miles immediately by basically saying "what kind of idiot would kill someone they just got out of a court battle with" is just amazing. Miles is that kind of idiot. The "infraction" points and "inbreathiating" (which google even tries to autocorrect me on), taking the only good idea from Blanc of killing someone while the lights are out (again, Clue popping up), just an amazingly smart and self-aware movie written by a smart and self-aware man.
And turns out it was the most obvious.
How about when Miles tossed the crystal at Blanc that was used to destroy the building reminds me of the saying "those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones"
Very concise and intelligent review . So many movie reviews laboriously retell the whole movie; which you don't need if you're looking to understand the movie after seeing it. The easter eggs aren't just the obvious ones, but some more subtle ones, which you always explain. Ya got a new suscriber,!
Kareem Abdul Jabar was 7 years old in 1954, Fletch was out in 1985.
I am glad someone else noticed that! Geez!
Caught that too. He also said "Sond*ham*". It's hard to take him seriously after 2 such blunders in a row in a video about picking up on details.
I was so confused when I heard that
Also, Kareem Abdul Jabar has co-authored three books about Mycroft Holmes, brother of Sherlock. That is probably more directly related with him being in that scene than a part in a movie more than 35 years ago. Although with this being his second cameo in a mystery film, the real take away is that he is a true mystery lover!
@@cass853 very good point! I agree with you.
Love how both of these films turn conventional murder mystery on its head by adding a twist element to the mix. Didn’t think glass onion was quite as good as knives out but really enjoyed both.
Knives out was better but this was silly fun as well. Whereas first had a clever murder mystery this was more straightforward and the fun was on the weirdo characters.
@@jonfreeman9682 I agree I think there's definitely fun to be had with both. I actually kinda hope the third goes to yet another direction.
Did anyone else notice this tiny detail in the film? In the scene where Birdie talks about how Miles used to be this little thing in her pocket, you can see Andi throw the voice recording into Birdie’s bag and sit down. I think it’s a really cool detail that worth mentioning.👍🏻👏🏻
I don't understand the connection. :l
@@johncarldelossantos7345 there's a flashback after we see the scene they mentioned wherein we see Helen actually toss the device in.
If you're a very observant person, it wouldn't be a surprise that second time.
The only thing I caught was Miles passing Duke his glass lol. It was incredible cinematography
They didn't waste a single scene or line-- everything connected or was intentionally a "dead end" or "throwaway" but even then, they served a purpose
@@johncarldelossantos7345 Ah- I just thought it was a cool detail and I wanted to share it. It’s completely off topic. ^^
Edit:
I just remembered, another thing I noticed is that you can actually see miles holding duke’s gun in the dark when he was searching for Andi.
The "specific puzzle" you reference is actually the "golden ratio," something very famous in art and mathematics - so it's not just random.
I enjoyed the movie on the first watch, waiting for all of the details to be revealed. But the more I've thought about the plot afterwards, the more questions I have. My main problem with the movie is that it's never revealed whether Miles knew Helen was in disguise all along or if he initially thought that Andi may have survived his murder attempt. If Miles thought Andi was the one who showed up on the island, he would've pulled her aside at some point to ask what she remembered about their last interaction and, if she remembered the murder attempt, see if/how Andi planned to retaliate. If Miles knew from the jump that Helen was the one on the island, then Benoit Blanc's presence should have been more alarming to him because now he'd have a woman seeking answers about her sister's death and a renowned detective there to help her. In this scenario, I doubt Miles would've allowed Blanc to stay. The movie emphasizes Miles' stupidity, but I don't think that's enough to explain how he moves past his surprise over Helen and Blanc's arrivals.
100%
I had the same question
Good point
So to help explain
1) It was revealed that Miles knew that wasn't Andi. We see a scene of Miles at Andi's house and drugging her. It's implied that he took Andi to her car in the garage and had the car running which led to her death.
2) Miles was alarmed by the Blanc's presence. That's why he pulled Blanc to the side to ask why he's here. Blanc was smart to say he received a box and doesn't know why he received it. To Miles, that means Blanc doesn't know about Andi's death, which calms Miles. Plus it makes sense for Miles to be calm because in Miles mind, the only person who would know is Bautista character. Also, the death hasn't even reached the news outlets yet so for Miles, Blanc's appearance doesn't alarm him. If Blanc revealed that he's here because Andi was killed and believes someone in this group did it, then Miles would've tried to kill Blanc and Helen.
@@SpyJamz 1) Maybe that scene was meant to confirm that Miles knew it was Helen on the island, but I didn't get that impression the two times I watched the movie. Miles left Andi for dead. He didn't take her life in a way that leaves no room for doubt. So I still don't know what Miles did or didn't know before Duke shows him the news alert about Andi's death.
2) Yes, Miles was alarmed by Blanc's presence and Blanc gave him an explanation that calmed his concerns. But the way it plays out relies too heavily on the "Miles is an idiot" theme. He shouldn't have accepted Blanc's explanation so easily. If Miles knew that Helen was on the island disguised as her sister and he knew one of the people on the island had to have invited Blanc, why wouldn't it cross his mind that Helen was the one who invited Blanc? The sister of the person you killed recently and a murder detective both end up on your private island. Come on now. Even the slowest person would suspect that they're working together to find out the truth.
A VERY small correction. Miles didn’t find out about the pineapple allergy from the docks because he wasn’t there for that, he asked for dietary restrictions on the invitation.
That’s docks scene is where we can solve the mystery early.
One thing a lot of people missed in terms if Bron being an idiot is him copying Andi's phrase 'Love Andi xo' on the red envelope . Immediately after he kills her and sends the invite to the island on the invitation it ends 'Love Miles Xo' which i found very funny with that small detail that was put in
Yeah Miles is what you call a freeloader. He uses everyone else's ideas.
I've literally JUST finished watching it! So good!
i love movies and mysteries and all but i admit i'm not that kind of person who catches many hints, clues, hidden messages, making theories and such. but for glass onion, there is one thing i haven't noticed that other people have pointed out. the boxes Miles sent out in the start of the movie had a card to it which says *Love Miles xo* and if we were to recall the red envelope from Andi, it has smthng similar written on it *Love Andi xo.* idk if that connects well or if it makes sense but yeah, i thought of that. Anyways i am so happy and proud to see Edward Norton show up in this film. He's definetely one of those actors who have talking voice and manner makes it just uniquely different from all other actors which reminds me a lot of his marvelous unmatching performance and voice narration of his thoights in Fight Club. by the way, Merry Christmas!
Perhaps it could imply that miles is such a copycat that he even copied Andi's way of writing?
And btw, that is a wishbone on the green suit, not an omega symbol.
Just so you know, the evil eye 🧿 isn’t a symbol of a curse or giving someone a curse. The symbol is to ward off the evil eye being given by someone else.
Thanks for the awesome summary, what a good movie! Cheers
spot on buddy
Yeah, this video is chock full of pseudofacts like this. For instance, “Fletch” was not released in 1954. If this was a book report, it’d get a C- at best for all the sloppy research.
I stopped watching the video after this blunder. Could not trust anything else in the video if that was one of the first things he started off with…
I've just finished watching it and it was AMAZING 👏
So good. I didn't know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. Love the breakdowns.
Always love your channel's videos and the new host added to the crew is awesome as well 😁 hope you all have a good Christmas and New Years
I did see a few things coming, but for the most part, I enjoyed it. I love these murder mystery type stories
Once it was revealed that Andi was dead, I figured it was Miles. I also figured that Duke's death was an anaphylaxis reaction. The big problem for me was that Blanc didn't call out Miles' stupidity in not just pinning Duke's death on him drinking his drink that he added Pineapple to, instead of acting like he was the target. Makes me wonder if that concept skipped Rian's mind, or if something ended up on the cutting room floor. Framing Duke drinking his drink as an accident, instead of a murder attempt on himself would have been the SMART thing, which clearly Miles wasn''t that brilliant.
One more gripe with the movie: Andi's email to the people who testified against her. She tells them that they have one last chance to make things right, but what does that mean? They don't have the money and company ownership that Andi wants and deserves, Miles does. Her old friends could admit in a new trial that they lied previously about whose napkin led to the company's founding, but the accuracy of their new testimonies would be in question. Andi's napkin is much more consequential than new testimonies, so I don't get why Andi would reach out to her old friends at all. Andi's email is the catalyst for her death, so I think there should've been a clearer need for her to send the email.
I think by saying its their last chance it means that this is their time to change their testimonies before andi reveal the napkin to the press and therefore the ones who didn't change their testimonies will be seen as the bad guys and the one that did change their testimonies won't suffer too much backlash
@@sendinghugsforeveryone9452 I get why that would matter to the group of friends, but I don't get why that would matter to Andi. These people betrayed her and contributed to her life being ruined. Why would she care about the backlash they will face once the truth is revealed? And their admissions of the truth wouldn't "make things right." That's the part of the email I'm focused on. Their admissions of the truth won't be nearly as impactful as the napkin, so I don't see why Andi would reach out to them.
@@Sheboygan. well andi might still treasure their friendship because they had been friends for way longer before miles even came into the picture and by doing this she is making a chance to them to make amends and still be friends. Honestly we don't really know how deep their friendship are but it would still hurt to just cut ties forever. Those are my take anyways but movies can be interpreted differently so for all we know it could have just been andi trying to mess them up one last time but it goes wrong haha (but in the movie it did seems like andi just wants them to apologize to her?)
I guess it shows that Andi was still willing to give people another chance. Like Martha in the last film, she was a GOOD person, only it got Andi killed. She could've just released the napkin and screwed everyone else over, but like letting Bron into her home, she wanted to hear them out and not ruin lives for her own gain. She had no reason to want to them the people who betrayed and screwed her over, like Martha with the Thrombeys.
Very nice report. All the hints and explanations. Great.
You were so thorough. Thx
I loved the first movie and didn't particularly like the second one until the first murder where everything started to unravel. Then I started to like it. And then I started to love it.
Who the hell would show the evidence like that? even more so when everyone knows she is in danger just by standing there. The worse ending ever.
Love the review mate didn't see those clues until the second watch
Thanks for the info
Fun movie and great recap y'all did, Thanks!
But just a minor note on the intro, Fletch was a 1985 movie, not 1954. ;-)
Having watched the film thrice, it's safe to say that Miles Bron will go down, regardless of him destroying the only physical evidence connecting him to the murders.
Blanc can still report his findings to the authorities, backed up by Helen's attemped murder, Duke being killed, and most of the Disruptors' own motives being revealed to light.
How exactly? What are Blanc findings? He saw Helen alleged she found the envelope in his office with no one to confirm she didn't bring it with her from Andy's apartment. He didn't see Miles shooting Helen and there is no apparent evidence he did. Dukes death would be ruled accident, Blanc recalled Miles giving him glass later on, and at first his recollection was Duke accidentally switched glasses so changing mind is not hard evidence, others "remembered" after they were instructed by Blanc. Also, they just "saw" him handing him glass and can't testify him poisoning him, since someone decided to blow up house and evidence, there is no way to investigate if pineapple was in that glass or somewhere else.
In court this would be the case - twin sister seeks revenge because her sister commited suicide for losing company (yes, currently it's ruled suicide and not murder), she falsely impersonates her sister and brings envelope to plant it and calls her own detective to be her witness, but when her plan fails - she blows up house and all art in rage, and is sentenced for attempted murder and/or endangering others, and destroying property. What evidence exactly is there?
LOVED IT!
Amazing Breakdown!!!!
Just finished watching GO on Netflix. It was a fun movie. Even if I still prefer the first one. And Janelle Monáe is just gorgeous! With a great performance here on her part too. And Blanc was fun as well, if a bit of a caricature. With Craig overdoing it, but maybe that’s the point? Anyway, an 8/10 for me, while the first one I’d rate as a 9/10. I just liked the more classical mystery murder vibe of that one a little more.
Except no one was murdered in the first movie. SPOILER.
The man offed himself
@@suezcontours6653 of course, I know. I was referring to the genre.
@@suezcontours6653omds lol I’m about to watch the first one and read the spoiler by accident 😂
@@trap784 Don't worry, even if it's a spoiler, it's not really a spoiler. So much happens that takes you off the mark
@ the 🦅 kinda fits the theme, it's so obvious it's stupid and yet he gets away with it
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was ALSO one of the mystery writers brought on to the 2019 reboot of Veronica Mars
And he’s written a murder mystery himself in real life
Awesome entertaining movie, can't wait for the next installment. I really enjoyed your breakdown and the Easter eggs.
I just watched Glass Onion 2 nights ago and loved it! I never noticed any of the things you've pointed out in this video so thanks for the fun breakdown.
I’m still not over the beginning middle and ending for NO TIME TO DIE. Now there’s a ending to look out for in this movie. I’m going to need a minute.
I was just following the gun lol, cause it is the most effective weapon, after Helen hit Duke, it is still there;
Then Claire hit Duke again, and the shots intentionally hide Duke's waist behind other objects, but in the end reveal it was still there.
But after Miles hugs Duke, you can see he pulled it out, move behind him and tuck in his pants, when walking away you can see the gun under the shirt, and when he drops it on the counter when making drinks.
Yeah. I saw that after rewinding back when they mentioned his gun went missing and it was in plain sight. Miles with the sleight of hand and just tosses it casually in the ice. After I figured it was Miles who was the killer and it kinda ruined it for me ... although i did not fully get the motives yet 😂😂😂 usually you're supposed to just go into these type of movies and just have an experience but i fumbled that part 😂 regardless its still a good movie.
Brilliant breakdown of a good movie 👍🏼
Good analysis 👍👍👍👍
So glad I am not the only one who wished the big reveal hadn't been so soon but I loved the film. Watched it twice already. Cannot wait for the third one. Benoit Blanc is now one of my fave detectives. Thank you for all the easter eggs because now I am going back to watch it a third time to see if I can find them all.
It was already ⅔ into the movie so they had to start wrapping it up.
I did sense who the "big bad" was early on. I felt that the pattern of a certain actual billionaire with seemingly no plans except to mess with people fit this film's portrayal almost too well. It was a tell. However that did not stop me from enjoying the movie. Glass Onion had more moving parts than that wacky puzzle box. This movie was fun and refreshing after watching innumerable films with lots of spandex, capes, tights, crowns and drama. Hard to say which movie I preferred. Glass Onion being "the second" in this series does take away the novelty. I suppose that makes me lean a bit more to the first movie, but only very slightly. This video did a great job finding the Easter eggs. Minor question, I wonder were any of the scientists/board members in the Zoom meeting symbols/avatars for anyone we would recognize?
Here's your cookie.
Great video and loved The Glass Onion. Knives Out was good but this one was as well. The twist is what had me going. Definitely will be watching it again!
Just watched it and I loved it so much. I liked that this one was a completely different feeling/set up sorta like how Sherlock Holmes and Pierot’s stories with the only common thread being the lead detective showing up to unravel the mystery.
I also loved that in the magazine cover where Miles is holding the note could be a nod to Elizabeth Holmes’ Theranos Times cover portrait, which points to Miles being a grifter.
As for the Mati, the symbol of the Mati is the actual ward against the spite/evil vibes/curse being directed your way. The Mati Symbol isn’t the actual curse, it’s an “all seeing eye” to protect you from all evil thoughts and from being “evil eyed/ given the ‘mati’” as the belief is that the jealous thoughts/ill words could cause actual harm/inconveniences to the object of the jealousy.
Typically in Greek culture the Mati is pinned on babies/young children’s clothing as a way to protect them from being harmed by people who will send bad vibes their way (also putting the pins on the back of the kids clothes means that younger kids wont pull at the charm),
So Miles’ including that symbol on the invitation could be a way of him attempting to ward himself and prevent any harm from coming to him spurred from the resentment/ill will from the people he’s been blackmailing.
One inaccuracy is that there are no tides in the Mediterranean and therefore Aegean, the sea level is always roughly the same, there is no such thing as low tide in the med
This isn’t a breakdown video, it’s a walkthrough video! With cool facts at the end.
Thank you Buddy.
Totally enjoyed the movie and the review was great!
The red and black painting in the living room is surely a nod to Radiohead’s album Amnesiac, which has the track Knives Out and is where the name of the first move came from. The working title for the first film was Morning Bell, another Radiohead song from that album.
Also the bullet hole through the glass is very reminiscent of Spectre
The universe just came together and released an Elon Musk biopic at exactly the right time. Maybe there is a God.
Edit: Okay I click on Elon Musk's resignation stream on the Tesla channel just now, and in the 2 seconds it takes me to mute the audio, the only words I hear are "disruptive innovation". YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS SHIT UP!
Love your videos!
Ed's character tosses Paul's guitar (re-strung for a right handed player now) similar to how nonchalantly tossed the cigarette packs in the garbage in the movie Rounders. Speaking to the integrity of his character.
Kareem Abdul Jabbar writes Sherlock Holmes novels mostly about his brother Mycroft Holmes. That’s why he was part of that group of four
I love your videos 💖💖💖
Nice video
Thanks for this spoiler/Easter egg video.
Hoes it a spoiler? If you watch a movie review before watching the movie, that's your fault.
Not sure if this is just a reference or a bit of foreshadowing, but Miles mentions he got "Phil Glass" to compose his "Dong" song (lol). Philip Glass was the composer for The Illusionist, which could (take this with a grain of salt, even I feel like I might be reaching, but what if, right?) foreshadow the fact that Andi getting shot may not be what it seems OR (imo) that Norton is the one who put Andi to sleep (and then kills her). In The Illusionist Norton's character puts someone to sleep to feign death, in Glass Onion, Norton's character puts someone to sleep, then kills them, then attempts to kill that person's twin, who feigns death to fool him. And yeah, maybe it's a reach, but it still feels intentional.
The first movie was an absolute masterpiece so I went into Glass Onion with expectedly lowered standards. Not out of disregard for Rian Johnson's craft but I was certain there was NO way they could meet or even surpass it's predecessor. I loved being wrong. So many amazing nods to other mysteries but the actors were absolutely phenomenal. Everyone did an exemplary job but I just have to say Janelle Monáe was the powerhouse here. I've always appreciated her movies but this is her best bar none. The way she brought two distinct characters to life; Helen/Andi. Even when she's playing "Rich Bitch" it's so amazing. I genuinely hope Rian continues these movies after Pokerface cause that would be a great disservice to movie-goers. Hell, I'll even boldly say he should have the Star Wars sandbox back. I'll happily endure the incoherent screeching from toxic Star Wars "fans"
Rian Johnson is a good director no question about that… but as a Star Wars fan, I (as well as many others) can confirm… he f’ed up the sequel trilogy
Loved it except for the napkin getting burned. Braun was like 20 feet away then instantly lighting it on fire in her hand without her flinching at all
Love it
Had a boxing day viewing session. Was a lot of fun at the end with all the little details people picked up.
Outta the two mystery movies, Knives Out is still the better movie for me.
A good mystery isn't afraid to give clues early. The one that I felt was really, really obvious, was Miles look at seeing Andi when she gets off the boat. And Johnson hangs on that shot. So when Helen mentions her sister was dead, it jus clicked. While other people were surprised to see her, only Miles was truly shocked.
As for why he sent the box, alibi. "Why would I send her this invitation fi I thought she was dead?"
Also, the movie does show Miles hand Duke the drink, then shows an alternate version when Miles is telling his version, only to show the original once again, when Blanc is putting it all together.
And again, I actually appreciate the film giving the audience a real shot at putting together some of what's going on. Of course, some twists are intended to be unknown, like the twin thing.
3:03 Gotta love that "1954" murder mystery "Fletch." 😂 I'm now picturing Fetch as a film noir, ala Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.
Enjoyed the reveals AFTER having seen and enjoyed the film. 👍
The Omega stuff is interesting, but the logo on the bathrobes is more like an "O" as in Onion, and the pin on Leslie Odom Jr's suit is like a wishbone -- I thought, hinting at how a lot of these people just got lucky with one or two early breaks, then coasted on that luck going forward.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is also a best-selling author of a few Mycroft Holmes novels.
Loved the movie, The Glass Onion. They got me with the twin switch, loved the smashing of all that crystal. Very entertaining and fun movie. I give it a slight edge above the first one. Thanks for your review.
You made me want to watch the movie again!
Anyone ever gonna mention the ouroboros in the frame in Andi’s apartment?
Whats that
@@shortstoppin20 it’s an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail
I loved this movie and missed a lot of the references mentioned
Mate, you are spot on with the movie. My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed it, from the very beginning to the very end. Love your insightful analysis of the movie.
I watched this movie twice and I really appreciated it more the second viewing it's very layered...
Ok, so, I might be wrong but, I believe that the Mona Lisa was painted on a wood panel. However, as she burns in the movie, it looks like canvas burning and there doesn’t seem to be any wood panel at all.
So, ironically, just as one of the guest said upon arrival, Miles might have been given a fake Mona Lisa by the Louvre and failed to realize that. This theory would fit in pretty well with him being an idiot and being clueless about things he pretends to know.
If you see clearly, when the painting burns it looks like the layer of paint burns first and then keeps burning behind, that's how painted wood burns, the paint chips off. So yeah, that confirms that is indeed the "true" painting.
Kudos to the props department that thought of this detail!
I absolutely loved the first one. And while this didn’t quite live up to it it was still very enjoyable and entertaining. It did keep me guessing for the most part. Duke’s cause of death was immediately obvious. I even thought I saw a piece of pineapple in the glass but I guess it was just ice. I’d watch many more of these movies for Daniel Craig alone
It was so much fun and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Andi in the contract scene says something about the reality distortion field, which is how Apple employees reffered to Steve Jobs' ability to make sometimes absurd and unrealistic demands and deadlines.
I'm kinda surprised you don't mention either the part when the other characters joined Helen in destroying the art during the climax, or the part when they all basically pledge to tell the truth to authorities about everything that happened
Omg yeah that’s an kinda big part of the movie that’s shows that all of them are turning on miles
@@altom8399 or more like desperately and selfishly saving themeselves. they are no different with miles. they turned on him because the juices in his golden tits had prolly dried off and they are in only for what's good for their side.
I mean realistically it wouldnt make any difference. Their whole premise of Andy's murder is based on that Andy in fact did come up with idea herself, but since all of them testifies under oath Miles did, them backtracking would make their testimony useless since they're not reliable witnesses. Their testimony on him giving glass to Duke would also be invalid since their first recollection was that Duke took glass himself and they "remembered" after Blanc instructed them. Additionally, the house is blown up so there is no way to investigate whether pineapple was in glass, or in whole bottle, somewhere else,... So Helen destroyed evidence. The envelope itself again is not the proof, all they know is Helen said she found it but no one can confirm she did, so she would have motive and opportunity to take envelope from her sisters home and try to plant it to Miles. Her blowing up home and art wouldn't help her seeming more reliable.
@@altom8399 They turn on him when he's already been dethroned as "king" which I liked. To the end always thinking about themselves all of them.
The thing is their words mean nothing. They lied when it mattered the most with Andi, and only turn on Miles the moment his career and reputation is ruined to save themselves. Them wanting to tell the truth at the end doesn't negate that they will do whatever it takes, and side with whoever it takes, to save their own asses. They don't actually care about Andi or Duke's deaths, only how it could look bad for them.
I liked it alot
In the second runthrough of the blackout scene, you can briefly see Miles holding the gun when he's looking for Andie.
Can't wait to whathx this
Really loved the reference to the Bond gun barrel theme in the scene where Miles shoots Helen and Benoit turns in the same manner as Craig’s Bond does, looking through the bullet hole in the window.
I am LOVING these murder mystery movies 🖤
Miles does the scream painting face at the end
I loved your take on the movie. I just watched it a few days ago and the Andy/Helen twin swapped is the only thing I did not see coming in this movie
