Benoit Blanc returns to peel back the layers in a new Rian Johnson whodunit. This fresh adventure finds the intrepid detective at a lavish private estate on a Greek island, but how and why he comes to be there is only the first of many puzzles. Blanc soon meets a distinctly disparate group of friends gathering at the invitation of billionaire Miles Bron for their yearly reunion. Among those on the guest list are Milesâ former business partner Andi Brand, current Connecticut governor Claire Debella, cutting-edge scientist Lionel Toussaint, fashion designer and former model Birdie Jay and her conscientious assistant Peg, and influencer Duke Cody and his sidekick girlfriend Whiskey. As in all the best murder mysteries, each character harbors their own secrets, lies and motivations. When someone turns up dead, everyone is a suspect. Returning to the franchise he began, Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Rian Johnson writes and directs Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and assembles another all-star cast that includes a returning Daniel Craig alongside Edward Norton, Janelle MonĂĄe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline with Kate Hudson and Dave Bautista.

I think you may have missed one of the funniest hidden clue ( hint: check the song credit at the end of the credits )
One thing also around when miles takes dukes phone after he kills him⊠if you watch miles left hand as he hugs duke here.. you can see miles grab dukes gun during the hug and looks like he puts it inside the back of his waist band before turning around to go make his drinkâŠ. Also as he makes his drink⊠you can see miles actually put the gun down at his little bar thing heâs making his drink on ⊠and itâs there that we see him grab the gun from later when the lights go out

This is just a conspirancy theory of the move can have some connototion but not everythings os connected
Here is what I think is a HUGE plot hole: if Andi and Helen are even a little bit close, why wasn't Helen present for any part of Andi's trial?? Of course if she had attended, there would not be a way for the movie to happen as written. It's also kind of ridiculous for Andi to have never mentioned having a sister (let alone a twin) in all of the years of long friendships with five separate people. đ
Another subtle hint is the "smoke free garden" because the entire island is a combustible hydrogen bomb.
Yet he let his stoner friend hang out and smoke all over the island.
Truly an idiot
Just the house
@@gorhino6446 did you not see the pillars of flames outside of the house in the final shot?
A hydrogen bomb isn't when a flame ignites it
oh brother
Blanc's weakness is dumb things. It's why Miles is such a difficult villain for him. Blanc sees a 4D chess board but Miles is only playing checkers. Dumb mysteries are Blanc's kryptonite.
You give Miles too much credit! He was playing tic tac toe using the checkerboard
It's like playing poker with a very drunk person while sober
@@scatterbunny35
âITS MORSE CODEâ
âITS TIC TAC TOEâ
Honestly Miles was playing go fish
Something I noticed is that Blanc said the puzzle box was filled with childish games while the others called it Miles's genius, more hints to who Miles really is
...which to me is very interesting, given Blanc didn't even have an opportunity to solve the puzzles. đ€
@@sandrafaith While he didn't solve the box, he did saw what was inside when Helen brought it to him because she already smashed it
While dumb games are his Achilles heel, he would have recognized the elements that the smashed up box contained. His dismissive attitude towards it made for a good cover in case he was asked "So, how did you solve X puzzle? I wanted it to trip up Z for Y reason." But he needn't have bothered; Miles outsourced the puzzle boxes and paid tens of thousands of dollars for them. He struck me as the type of guy who couldn't be bothered with much minutiae.
Like everything else he did, the point was to drop each name loud enough to cause a thud on the marble floor.
I though blanc was just so smart he considered them as children games
i think that says more about blancs character than miles. blanc is bad at dumb things like among us and clue, so even though he never played the puzzles, he knew they would have given him a hard time. but he knows everyone thinks hes some perfect genius, so instead of saying they were dumb or hard, he said childish. which to him meant dumb, but to miles meant easy
The scene at the end where everyone puts their hand up and decides to remember what Miles did is another nod to the game 'Clue'. People started yelling 'I saw Miles with the gun' , just like in the game
its also similar to how a game of Among Us goes. No physical evidence aside from two bodies carried by the rest of the players testimony, even going down to lying for the sake of carrying out the judgement.
The amount of people is also an allusion to Among Us. Originally you could only play with up to 10 people with two imposters. Helen and Blanc are the imposters, the rest of the players are Miles, Claire, Lionel, Birdie, Peg, Duke, Whiskey, and either Andi or Daryl depending on how you choose to look at it
The actress who plays Helen/Andi is so good that I knew something was up in the beginning because I literally said to my mom âOooh.. someone died. Thatâs not rage, sheâs sad. Thatâs sad anger.â and it felt so good to be right. Kudos to the actress for portraying that subtle difference that helped me piece together that something wasnât right.
She's a singer named Janelle monae... Shes in that song called we are young
âIt was so dumb.â
âDumb, but brilliantâŠâ
âNo, it was just dumb!â
Blanc was such a savage in this movie.
so dumb that it's brilliant
Kinda makes up for the plot not being on par to the S level the first one was. "Bruh our killer is an idiot" "i solved this case by midnight same day"
@@dominicwilliamson7912 lmao
Don't forget "you vainglorious buffoon!" to Miles.
Delivered w/such contempt & scorn.
Saw this in a theater first time and began to notice that âAndiâsâ part in her hair wasnât always on the same side. When itâs Helen, the part is on her right. When itâs Andi, the part is on her left.
On the second viewing, this appears to be consistent.
With identical twins, often they are mirror images of one another.
Iâm hoping to try to detect if one is right handed and the other left handed on another viewing, which might be another trait of identical, but mirrored, twins.
Wow, guess I have one more reason to watch again now lol
Wow I didnât even notice that. Most women are partial to a specific side of their part. Iâve always worn my part on my left and would never switch to the right. Thatâs a great catch
Woah yeah! Been looking for it in the clips shown here and 100%. I love that you can keep watching this and noticing details.
I just looked - they were writing with their right hands. Andi when she writes on the napkin and Helen when she writes in the black book.
I love the whole "no phone" part as well because one of the big tell-tale signs in the first Knives Out which indicated Ransom was the killer is that he was using an Android (Apple has a clear rule that no villain can use an apple product) so eagle-eyed fans picked up on that early in the movie essentially allowed them to know the ending/have the plot ruined for them. This time around the villain himself had no phone at all! quite fun and little nod to the first movie :)
Also, all the characters who have a phone, it's only androids if you observe it.
@@jeannelagarde2489 not quite, both Blanc and Duke use Apple products
BUT ALSO!! He *does* handle an Apple product, an iPad that he presents to Blanc sarcastically when he figures out the murder mystery, but he never handles in on screen! And that was what Rian mentioned with the first movie that was paramount: Apple will not let villains use their products *on screen*, so the camera cut implies that he handled the iPad but we never see him actually interact with it!
@@tarahenley9942 đ he was hesitant at first to reveal the âApple ruleâ but he did anyway - itâs funny AND genious how skillfully he handled the scene with the iPad!
@@calebgoodman8729 no duke had an android
Andi dies from asphyxiation. Like Blanc said, Miles never had to SEE her die, so it's not that far-fetched for Andi to have woken up and gotten out of the garage before that could happen.
And since he's "dumb" he wouldn't know whether or not that was possible.
I think Miles was going to kill Duke no matter what. Miles saw Duke going to Andi's house because he almost "pancaked" him after killing her. So in Mile's head, Duke could have saved Andi. When seeing Helen-as-Andi and no mention from either of them about Duke saving her, he would get more suspicious of Duke, wondering what his game was. Duke's mentioning of Baby Blue during the pool scene and asking Miles if he remembered almost pancaking him could also have been taken as a threat. I think Miles was always going to kill him for the same reason (knowing Miles had killed Andi), it's just the reason wasn't valid until Duke saw his alerts.
Now that does bring up how Bron was going to deal with the rest of the disruptors when they found out.
@@chocolatestraw3971 I'm not certain I agree with Miles premeditating Duke's murder because I think that's giving Miles way too much credit. Remember, he's never had an original idea and the ones he does have are shitty. I think the 'pancaked' part can be attributed to him rushing to leave the scene of the crime so quickly. It's not like he sped up to hit Duke, he was already going that speed and Duke had to swerve to miss him. The autopsy that Duke would receive when the authorities arrived would have eventually proven that Duke died of an allergic reaction, IE something Miles wouldn't have been affected by if he did drink from his own glass. I don't think he thought that through much. And even taking his gun was Blanc's idea ultimately.
How does being in your car with the engine running kills you ?
@@tonyboy_c3120 Its being in her car while its running INSIDE HER GARAGE that kills her. The exhaust fumes build up in the enclosed space.
I think the most obvious foreshadowing/signposting for me were: 1) Peg not allowing Birdie Jay to have a phone, hinting at the importance of phones in the story, 2) Duke not being able to have pineapple which is a random allergy to add to a script unless it means something, 3) Duke being the least sympathetic character so you don't grieve his loss and allowing the pace of the film to continue with barely a pause, 4) the repeated references to the Hindenberg as a clue how the climax of the film would end in an explosion.
The biggest one was the names on the glasses. Peg gets a plain red cup which she later writes her name on, even though she is the only one not drinking from a glass so it is obviously hers. Andi has a glass with her name on, as hers, Dukes and Miles glass all look the same. And all are involved in poisoning. The close up on the names made it clear that who was drinking from which glass was important. I was so focussed on that I noticed the glass switch first time round, and knew immediately what was about to happen. Interestingly Miles switches to red wine later. Blanc doesn't have a named glass as he wasn't expected.
i dont get the birdie one
@@tink6225 Peg is her assistant, she was saying Birdie can't have her phone because it would cause a stir-up if she posted something dumb online again. At the end, people start to receive notification that Andi is really dead but since they don't have their phones, they're kept in the dark, except for Duke who still had his. Duke sees it, which prompts his blackmailing of Miles, resulting in his murder.
@@machin8593 oh then that was obvious
You got theses clues from the ending
My favorite bit in the whole thing was âI know from experience that an anonymous invitation is not to be trifled withâ I think itâs the only reference to the last movie
The book Serena Williams is reading is a reference to the last film as well
Also the actor playing Derol the slacker is the same guy who played Trooper Wagner.
@@coreytoomey7579 oh no kidding! Also Joseph Gordon Luvitt had a cameo in both but thatâs a Rian Johnson thing not a part of the story
@@thisisthisis542 Yeah I didnât even recognize him on the first viewing lol. Blanc also didnât recognize or acknowledge him as Wagner, so canonically theyâre two different characters.
The general pattern of the 2nd movie seems to draw paralells with the first movie. The events are initially shown in pieces, then the rewind and review of events from a different perspective with some gaps filled in, concluding with Blanc's piecing together of events with the revelation and Blanc encouraging the main character to decide on how they want to exact their revenge. Like Marta in the 1st one, Helen initially seems like a character who has been pulled into the craziness with uncertainty but proves to be very strong and intelligent. They both eventually end the stories on their own terms. Also, there's lots of foreshadowing in both movies and they both have cheeky nods to Poirot, Agatha Christie, Sherlock, etc.
I love how rain Johnson mentions that a villain cannot have an iPhone and then proceeds to not give the main villain a phone at all.
The most obvious reference: When they arrive at the island, Miles is playing Blackbird, which Paul wrote in the 60s about the strife of Black women during that period. Reflecting the struggles Andi went through in corporate America to get the credit she deserved for inventing Alpha and how she was discredited. Also, Glass Onion is a Beatles song that appears to have layers of complexity but was written as a parody by Paul. Miles then proceeds to break the guitar, symbolizing the destruction of the glass onion in the final third of the movie.
John wrote Glass Onion. Paul overdubbed a recorder when the song references Fool on the Hill as a parody to that song. Both Glass Onion and Blackbird are on the White Album. Miles breaks the guitar because he sees himself as so rich the most priceless things are disposable to him - except the Mona Lisa.
Bit of a stretch, but Blackbird could also be a reference to the Blackbird mine in the Agatha Christie story where a rich businessman leaves his business partner to die. The blackbird mine had uranium as the energy source, rather than hydrogen.
Not only that, but Miles claims the guitar he was playing then was the very guitar Paul McCartney used to compose Blackbird. This is clearly untrue as Miles is playing a right handed guitar and Paul McCartney plays left handed. He's either a bad liar or he really thinks it was real and got ripped off. Either way, it's further proof that he's not as smart and cultured as he made himself out to be.
One thing was the way Helen/Andi just bashed open the box while the rest of the crew solved the puzzle. At first I thought it was because she just didnât feel like going through all that and was kind of an âoutcastâ of the group, but in reality it was her twin sister who opened it, who would have had no idea what the box should be. It makes perfect sense she wouldnât know any other way to open it
also she knew exactly who screwed over her sister, so if she gets a gift from him she'd probably be angry and want to break it :P
I saw it the same as "cordial_lump". She bashed it because she hated Miles...and it was from Miles.
I noticed that both Helen and Andi have a talent for *really* smashing things to bits!
Andy bashed open the box because she was angry at Milesâ betrayal. Later on Helen went to Andyâs house after her death and found the mess of the box and took it to the Detective
@@secretgoddesss no. It was Helen who smashed open the box. She found it when she was clearing Andiâs house.
A nice touch I spotted was the fugue angle - we're told that the music in the puzzle box is a fugue, which repeats the pattern of the music over itself to reveal new things; this is what the movie does, repeating the story but from different POVs revealing a new plot. This is a take on the Rashamon structure which Johnson used in The Last Jedi.
Couple other things to note: Following the greek lore tie-ins you missed the more obvious one of them literally being on a private island in Greece. The other was his art piece in his office with the ghost box that was of fairly simple design but gave off the illusion of infinite complexity.
And here's another, which actually showed up in one of the clips from this video: Blanc says that dumb things are his "Achilles heel."
also during the pool scene Blancâs outfit is the Greek flag
Cassandra and Helen both feature prominently in Greek mythology
That's what a glass onion is bro. I think you missed the movie haha
Also, Alexander the Great (from Greece) was reputed to have been the one who solved the untying of the Gordian Knot by taking a sword to it. This is the approach that Helen used on the mystery box.
Not a lot of people mentioning one of the biggest tells(upon second viewing),
The invitation was to âSolve the mystery of Milesâ Murderâ
Once again, hiding in mind blowingly dumb plain sight lol
The cameo from Serena Williams was hilariousâŠđ
When I saw her, I was wondering whether she was going to start talking or not!
I didn't expect cameo from Hugh Grant
Sheâs reading the book from the first movie that Craig said âno one readsâ apparently
@@tinamardt7734 Blanc does admit he like the title though
this movie couldve been better in my opinion.. To much stuff like that makes it feel marvelish.. That ending didnt even make any sense..
One of my favorite scenes is the arrival scene and how the masks highlights everyone's personalities. Only Blanc is wearing a proper masks. Birdie obviously is wearing the Lana Del Rey "I only care about looking good" mask. Lionel (the scientists who should know better) has a beard so his masks isn't properly sealed, and Claire has an oversized masks that keeps slipping. And then, also Peg is the only one that has a disposable masks, which shows how she's sort of treated as disposal and ignored. And obviously Duke doesn't wear a mask at all.
why everyone should wear mask at all, outdoors?
Lionel is the only one wearing an N95, because he's a scientist.
@@house30house It's set in May 2020. Wearing a mask even outside was common.
Anothing about the mask is how Helen doesn't wear one at all symbolizing how Helen mask is the one she's wearing to disguse as Andi. It could also represent how Helen is willing to put herself in the line of fire to avenge her sister
I think that Helen smashing up Miles' puzzle-box is also probably a nod to Alexander the Greats' methodology of solving the Gordian Knot.
5:35 I caught that he called her Helen on my first watch, but I honestly thought it was just me misremembering the characters name. then later they go back to calling her Andi and I was even more confused. And then the pieces all came together....
beautiful movie! Loved it to bits.
This same thing happened to me. I was like ..."Helen? Was her name Helen? Oh well..."
4 things, not that they are clues, but they are fun little things to notice:
1. Just before Andi turns up next to birdie at the pool, you see birdieâs bag jiggle slightly as Andi has just dropped the voice recorder in it.
2. When Miles takes Dukes gun, you can see him tucking it into the back of his trousers, under his shirt. You can also see it under his shirt as he walks up the stairs towards the bar.
3. When Andi is drunkenly walking away from Clair and Lionel, in the first take you see only the two of them, but later after weâve seen the extended take with Claire and Duke confronting Andi, you can see Claire and Lionel with duke sneaking away in the background.
4. Comparing Andiâs original napkin to Milesâ copy napkin, there are some subtle differences which speak to Milesâ stupidity and motivations. For instance, Andi intended to make an ICO with a crypto asset. Miles though that the plan somehow involve him becoming a public ICON. Instead of leveraging the DARK WEB, Miles plan just involved DARKNESS.
Great eye! I definitely noticed the gun getting taken and put behind his back and the biggest red flag for me was when I clearly saw Miles hand the cup to Duke and pick up a cup from the table when he said that Duke must have picked up the wrong cup. I also figured it was pineapple juice because they mentioned it in the beginning. Those 2 red flags let me know that he killed him on purpose and then took the gun to (try to) kill "Andi."
Another Greek mythology reference I spotted - in the scene where Blanc talks to Helen in the bathroom, there is a print of the painting 'Icarus' by Matisse behind him. Icarus of course was greedy and arrogant and flew too close to the sun which led to his downfall. Also, the painting depicts a figure with a red mark on its chest - foreshadowing Helen's shooting.
I think my favorite one is that, when you know to look for it, you can clearly see Miles take the gun and stash it in the minibar.
One more thing, Andi/Helen gets the red bracelet when rooms are being assigned. Red represents the root chakra which is responsible for stability and security. In other words her truth could shake / destroy his foundation.
Wow! So much detail went into writing and visually presenting this story. I missed so much of that. Absolutely fantastic!
Oh my god, Blanc calls Andy "Helen" before we even know who she really is! That never even sunk in when I was watching! Amazing!
When Helen walked onto the island in that dress and shades was breathtaking and deadly in a good way, and her stares were everything
What I really love from this movie is, they never hide the clues. All the clues we need is already there, showed to us without any trick.
Speaking of the Fibonacci pattern, the cinema release date "November 23" forms the first four numbers of the Fibonacci sequence: 1123.
The Fibonacci sequence starts with 1 then 1. The next numbers are made by adding the previous two numbers; so the third number is 1+1=2, then the fourth number is 1+2=3.
.
[insert one of those GIFs of Keanu Reeves going "Whoa!" HERE]
.
Glass Onion was so much fun and the repeat viewing factor is pretty sweet. Thanks for the clues, I did miss all of them lol
IMHO a letter hidden in plain sight was also a tribute or homage to The Purloined Letter by Edgar Allan Poe, who was also one of the earliest founding fathers of detective stories.
Good observation! The hiding in plain sight is also a common theme for Sherlock fans.
@@coolbreeze5683 True, so was a plot twist commonly practiced by Agatha too.
In other news, Joseph Gordon Levitt is the voice of the hourly gong.
*dong
@@swyxTV So, every night in that house, every hour, in the hour, guests will be awoken by JGLâs âDong.â
@@swyxTVgdong
7:44 Did not realize the later "Miles Bron is an idiot" line was a callback to this write-off moment, absolutely love it.
Hahaha, I'm realizing from this video that Blanc didn't consider Miles as a suspect because he said that Miles was not an idiot, and then it all clicked for him when he realized that Miles was in fact an idiot. Hahahaha, that's so fkn genius. đ
The thing that stikes me most is Birdie saying: âI always say what I seeâ. Benoit quickly replies with âsaying what you see and saying the truth are two very different thingsâ. This, for me, is a small reference to Miles stating he was the one that shouldâve been poisoned when Duke drank his glass.
This ain't a clue, and I know I'm just stating the obvious here, but Helen's last shot mimics the Mona Lisa
finally Somebody else noticed that 2
Oh God!!! I was thinking that I'm the only one who noticed this!!
This is brilliant! It actually makes me appreciate Rianâs work more as a masterpiece
Finally, someone who doesn't hate Rian for just one mediocre movie
Ok Miles, you clearly don't see the major plot hole that makes this movie so idiotic. Just like Rian himself.
It did make me appreciate the movie more too. Still slightly prefer Knives Out, but this was pretty darn good.
@@wadewilson8011 What plot hole? There's one in Knives Out that irks me every time I see it, but I still love the movie.
@@AgentOccam holes in plurar, why he send the box to somebody you ruin and robbed, and she hates you. why he kept the envelope and destroy it inmediatly, why you kill her without knowing whre is the envelope, why you kill her at all, you just neeed to put her sleep and find the envelope. you keep the envelope withthe napking, why you keep the envelope?? why you dont put the napking in a drawer book, SAFEBOX????. and go on ............
There was a nice misleading shot of Claire awkwardly colliding with Duke right before his death, so that you could assume she poisoned his drink during the collision đ€
I donât know if they could be âcluesâ or not, but couple of other things stood out to me. 1) they only get the boxes open because Dukeâs old ma figures it out as soon as it turns up - and then continues to solve the puzzles without even looking at it. 2) Miles seems determined to drop so many famous names you can hear the thud - even having Serena Williams on video standby in the gym, just in case somebody should wander in. Tells me heâs very insecure, and willing to steal fame for his own aggrandisement, just as he did with Andy in the beginning.
Duke's ma is a plot device that implies older people often play crossword puzzles and are good at games like Bingo, chess, tic tac toe, and Boomers learned Morse code in school. Also older people are nosey, so she probably peep the box out before she told Duke about it.
Don't forget Yo Yo Ma's cameo when he explains what a fugue is. Johnson is letting us know that these people are not that smart - they wouldn't have been able to figure it out without other people chiming in.
@@BenChanNYC also, Duke's ma gives them the North clue, Peg the assistant helps a lot.
I think #1 was more of a hint that the "Disruptors" weren't the brilliant successes everyone thought they were. Duke the Alpha Male was getting slapped around by his mother and having to live in her house, for example.
I actually thought Helen was simply cutting the proverbial Gordian Knot by hammering the box open :P
Duke was standing behind a red painting that looked like the envelope. There was also a design in the background near the hallway with a red box in it.
An other big clue is when Miles decides to go upstairs after they told him that Andi/Helen was searching/disarranging everything. If he was scared he wouldnât be looking to the person that hates him
They showed the drink switch before the flashback. Iâm really happy they didnât shoot an alternative scene and then do a âwhat really happenedâ flashback.
What I loved was that after seeing the first film, you start to try to solve the mystery by looking for the âbrillianceâ of the story. I first thought that it was âoh, Duke dies, but since the original target was Miles, the motives are the same.â While I think Knives Out was a better movie overall, this one is just more brilliant.
When Duke died, my first suspect was Miles, but that's because it was a typical Christie plot.
One odd thing is why would Helen drink Andiâs glass knowing he already attempted to kill her twice and killed another with a drink. I thought Blanc was hinting at the evidence being in the glass- that Miles had put something in that glass too.
Though it is true she could've been more careful with the drink, I personally took it more as Blanc giving her a little help by giving her the drink so she could do the only thing they were able to to bring Miles down. It's estabilshed a little earlier that Helen doesn't drink alcohol but when she does, she gets braver and bolder hence the "give you courage" part
â@@fangirl_43 In the end the drink didn't matter. He was sneaking the "explosive substance" to her. The drink was nothing more than a red herring.
She may have also been willing to die. Causing a fire and then throwing pure hydrogen into it isn't exactly the habit of people who want to keep aliving
Miles wouldnât have because he knows that that would make him the clear suspect. The investigators would find out that he was the only other one to touch that glass, they would uncover the email about the envelope and understand that Miles also has the motive, etc.
@@youngwang97 going on an island with the person that killed your sister also ties in with that
In one scene where Blanc and Helen are talking in the bathroom, the painting behind him is a dead giveaway of what ends up happening to Helen. It's of a figure with a red dot over the heart, which symbolizes where Miles shoots Helen when he tried to kill her. I thought it was pretty neat and caught it the instant I seen it.
I love that Miles is dressed like Tom Cruise from Magnolia when they first meet at the Glass Onion and the magazine cover with Miles holding the napkin looks like the famous cover of Elizabeth Holmes holding the vial of blood.
OMG you're right with EH! Even the same face expression đ
I first thought it was a nod to Steve Jobs, which was whom Elizabeth Holmes was channeling herself.
In Helen's bathroom, there's a painting on the wall of a woman's silhouette with a red square on the right side of the chest. Same place Helen gets shot, and might also be an allusion to how Helen finds the envelope.
When Miles played âBlack Birdâ on the guitar and said âthis is the guitar Paul wrote it onâ I knew he was the killer! Paul was left handed and the guitar Miles was playing was for right handed players. Now⊠I didnât know he killed Andy but I knew he killed Duke lol, to be fair they didnât reveal Andy was dead until later.
As a left-hander who has been proud for decades that half the Beatles are as well, I am embarrassed I missed this detail. Nicely done!
Not necessarily. He immediately told Birdie it was a fake. Remember, Birdie was the naive (dumb) one of the group. She was the only one he bragged to about that belonging to Paul McCartney. He then casually just tossed the guitar on the ground. The way he responds to the destruction of the Mona Lisa and that Porsche.... it was obvious that that wasn't Paul's actual guitar.
You know that you can string a lefty guitar to suite a right handed player, no?
@@pedroh.pereira8292 Not completely. I've tried. The highest string will snap when you try to tune it - every... single... time.
And his (incorrect) understanding of what âglass onionâ means came straight from the same Beatles tune.
Nortons incredulous look when he sees "andi" arrive on the island gave away a lot for me. She's supposed to be dead already and his face is wtf?!?!?
Yes but he recovered quickly - if someone I thought I killed showed up unexpectedly I don't think I'd recover that quick so his shock that she's there seems more like shock so close to the trial and all the lies told and thievery and ruining her life. That's how I took it anyway so I didn't suspect anything.
I didn't suspect anything, but I did catch him giving Bautista the glass and I knew from that point on, I was hoping I was wrong and they would twist it somehow, but I wasn't.
Casandra parted her hair on the left and Helen parted her hair (when playing her sister ) on the right
Also when Miles is in the hallway and Helen is around the corner hiding, you can see his hand is hidden at his side like he's reaching for a gun (which we now know he had at that point)
You can also see the gun for a split second when he turns around to run away.
When Peg and Birdie are talking by the pool you can see the recording device get thrown into Birdieâs bag
Great points! I think the red squares might have been a bit far, but now I feel stupid for not realizing the Cassandra hints, especially since I love Greek Mythology.
Red squares are a definite theme!
Miles also has a Mark Rothko painting of a red square (No. 207, âRed Over Dark Blue On Dark Greyâ - visible at 10:23) that wasnât even mentioned in the video. Hung upside down, presumably out of ignorance, which is a nice touch!
@@isoleta Wow! Didnât even notice that. But yeah, after rewatching the movie, I saw red squares a lot more. Really a very well thought out movie đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„
Pretty funny that Miles has a knife holder that is glass. You can see it when Blanc is running around the darkened mansion. Literally "Knives out."
He even gives a comment like "oh come on, really?" Or something
@@Olcixx95 I thought the reason he said that was because someone took a knife (the biggest one is missing) from the holder. you can hear someone drop a knife on the ground when they all arrive to see helen's "death"
If you watch closely you can see the moment miles takes Duke's gun and you can see when he hides it in the bar. He takes it when he's giving him the hug when duke shows him his phone.
Yeah, they literally show it the flashback
@@unropednope4644 yeah it's in the flashback but you can see it done in real time in the actual scene. Which I guess goes with the whole point of the movie which is the truth hidden in plain sight.
@@Terranz25us I will have to watch again
When she broke open the puzzle box i knew she would be my favorite character
Andi wasn't poisoned. That would not look like suicide. Andi was given sleeping pills and then put in her running car in the garage. More plausible that she woke up and survived, thus Miles' expression.
Not if Miles gave her a lethal dosage. She'd die from that if he enough put into her system
Wow, this onion definitely had more layers than I thought!
Birdie says in the film she knows Andi has a twin but she's never met. Others says they knew that she had a sister too but whether they knew she was a twin isn't said.
I don't know if it was foreshadowing or what, but I love how at the beginning the only two people who actually know how to solve the puzzles are the physicists and the senator. Duke's mom tells him everything he needs to know, and all of Birdie's contributions are made by her entourage.
Kinda shows that this group who thinks very highly of themselves don't actually know anything
I'd have to rewatch but didn't Duke and Birdie "solve" the atomic number for silver puzzle?
@@chrisstandifer5492 Birdie recognises the silver and Duke googles it
Miles even stole Andi's "Love, Andi xo". She wrote it on the red envelope. It hints that Miles knew about the red envelope. The box with the card invite doesnt appear until days later, after Andi's death.
Interesting, when Miles đ± screams as the Mona Lisa burns looks like the famous painting The Scream.
The giant Mark Rothko red painting was also a reference to the red envelope IMO.
Fantastic video. The cameos were perfect !! Yo-Yo Ma was the Best đ
Rian Johnson is a mastermind. People are nuts to hate him.
He just gets hate for The Last Jedi. Personally I thought it was okay, but that there was a really great movie hidden underneath bad editing and story / character decisions. I think if you reordered the whole sequence of events (and cut out the goofy casino side plot) that it would have gone down much better with people. First half lots of time with Obi-Wan and Rey training, etc, developing their characters more and leading to the battle on Crait where Obi-Wan sacrifices himself in grand fashion physically, not the weird force ghost thing. Then the finale is the fight between Rey and Kylo. I think the pacing of the movie and character development was all trying to be too unconventional and "clever" and ultimately is what didn't resonate with people. It had some cool twists with major characters that I appreciated, but they weren't handled well IMO. Came across as trying to hard to do the opposite of what everyone expected and subvert the prior movie.
He's an idiot. And the major plot hole in this movie proves it.
@@rrael The main problem with the Last Jedi was it didn't really fit it with the rest of the sequels. But that wasn't Rian Johnson's fault, it is the fault of the Star Wars/Disney showrunners (or whatever you'd call them) for not having a clear plan for the trilogy. It ended up being a disorganised mess because of that. Rian Johnson was unlucky trying to pick up the pieces of the mess and I think did a decent job in making a decent film
I was one of those people oops. Let me tell you, it's purely because of Last Jedi. He genuinely didn't care about Star Wars and it didn't follow the flow that was established in the previous installment. Johnson loves doing standalone films so hiring him to create a sequel was probably not the best choice
@@joebloggs6922 I absolutely agree. I do think changes to the editing and storyboarding could have made Last Jedi better than it was, but either way if Disney didn't plan out the trilogy and major plot points, then what did they expect? He subverted expectations so hard they had to bring in J.J. Abrams again to "put it on track". I haven't even watched the last one but it sounds like a dumpster fire, and that's Disney's fault, not RJ. They didn't like what Rian did so they tried to walk it back.
This was THE BEST *Glass Onion clues* video I have seen all week (and I have watched a lot of them!!!).
One Plothole I noticed on second viewing is....if MILES invited 5 people then why would the guy giving out the bracelets not notice that Blanc was not invited...instead he just sprays him and gives him a bracelet. Also remember Miles told them the bracelet was to get access to there rooms. The only plus ones was Whiskey and Peg so that is 7 bracelets. For a exclusive party I would think Miles had the exact amount of Bracelets to give out.
I did notice that Blanc's bracelet seemed to be malfunctioning, not giving him the chakra for his room - an early hint his presence was being (poorly) accommodated by Miles. And Miles took someone else's idea (inviting Benoit Blanc) and let everyone else think the idea was his, because that's kinda his thing. If he'd been smart, he'd have called the boat back, thrown Blanc off the island, and grilled the others to see who invited him. But the movie shows us he's not smart. Benoit Blanc AND Cassandra being there knocked him for such a loop he had no choice but to roll with it. Also, given the presence of Darryl, I think they have more bracelets than just for this one group.
@@johnhuffman9533 I agree. Plus who's not to assume he had a plus one contingency plan of bracelets for all his guest. There were at least 2 other guest that brought no one, leaving room for plenty plus 1 bracelets.. Miles didn't even remember Pegs name so its possible he didn't care who brought who and just had extras..
My question is who give Andi the box? If Miles kill her why he send her the box? They just have a law sue for month. it understandable if Andi death but Miles and friends stay at private party without Andi invited.
@@kamonchanoknakarungkul2039 Probably Miles trying to have a alibi by sending a dead person a invite.. His dumb way of confusing any question of foul play upon her death.. đ€Actually that would be the smartest thing he did ⊠lol Well smartest and dumbest because it put the sister and detective on his heels, leading to his ultimate downfall.
@@pierrewillful Sending the box is actually completely dumb. Later it was revealed that Andi wasn't invited to the yearly parties after she had a falling out with Miles. He only gave her an invite after he knowingly killed her to remove suspicion off him but this just only gives a hint that he knew Andi died. Why would he give Andi an invite after 2 years? And he gave her the invite a week after her suspected murder. It's just dumb.
I am 1000% certain that Birdie going crazy and smashing one of the glass artworks is a reference to the viral video where the family are taking a photo and cheering and the little girl goes crazy and throws an entire dish of food on the floor
You can actually see Miles hold the gun in the hall right as he calls for Andy. Just moments before he shoots her with it.
I picked up on that first thing on my second watch, same with the necklace/envelope thing, and I heard the âHelenâ thing the first time, but at first I just thought Iâd heard wrong. I did the same thing with the phone in his pocket on my first watch, I forgot that he wasnât supposed to have a phone and thought I was overthinking it
Me and my friends watched this on New Years Eve and really loved it. One of my friends did point out one HUGE flaw. If Miles had killed Andi, then why did he send her a puzzle box? Her sister said she received the box after her sisterâs death. Loved the part when Serena started talking. Me and my friends thought it was a poster at first.
Good question. Maybe as cover, so he could pretend he didn't know she was dead? Or maybe it was because he outsourced construction and shipping of the boxes, so he would have had to have reached out to someone else to cancel it.
The reason he did is so that it would have looked like he didnât know she was dead and therefore dismissed from the case ( at least that is what he thinks)
why you should send the box to her in first place, you took her company ruin her, you are no longer friends and she hate you. this is aplot hole and make no sense
@@house30house the rest was surprised that she showed up, not that she was invited. Miles probably kept inviting her to these meetings, to keep the narrative that he was the nice guy and she was the one problematic.
Great vĂdeo, I loved the similarities with the classic figures of Cassandra and Helena and the Andy and Helen in the movies. I haven't catched this details, there's so much little things in this movie its amazing.
Notice how Blanc and Helen (as Andi) is similarly dressed. White coat and pants. A clue that they are a team
In the bathroom scene where Blanc was talking to Helen, the painting behind Blanc had a little red square in the same spot where Helen got shot.
One thing I don't understand is why Miles sent a box to "Andi" and invites her to the island if he already killed her (which he did because Helen was the one receiving the box after Andi was already dead). It shouldn't be for an alibi because no one would wonder why he did not invite Andi after taking her to court. Did I miss anything? Does someone know?
I mean miles is an idiot plus he was probably just playing it safe
I think he didn't send a box to her house to avoid suspicion that he killed her.
I guess if the police eventually went to her house and found her dead, they would see the box and think the same thing. Why would Miles send this to her if he had a hand in her murder? Then they would assume he must not have had anything to do with her death and that maybe he was trying to extend an olive branch out to her before she "committed suicide". That might have dismissed him as a suspect.
Well as Lionel pointed out, "the question is not 'why she was invited', but 'why she showed up' ". I think it probably was for the alibi because he was acting like he didn't hold a grudge against her at the pool and during dinner, despite the outcome of the trial, and he said those five people meant the world to him. It might've been even more suspicious if he wouldn't invite her, since as far as everyone knew he'd been living on the island for the last six months and he doesn't own a phone so how would he know about her death?
@@coolbreeze5683 Agreed
Also when they tell helen shes changed, its a hint to that she is not andi, birdie also makes a subtle comment of her weight, which is funny considering helen telling blanc she doesn't think she would fit into her sisters dresses.
When zou first see it you think they are just being shitty towards her, but i really think that their behaviour makes sense both knowing and not knowing her identity. Like with miles reaction at the beach
This was an amazing analysis of the little details! I was watching it with my partner and every minute we were like "OHHHH!" especially with Among Us haha
I watched the movie last night, been watching explications all morning. This one actually presented perspectives I hadn't caught đ
Miles, upon seeing the Mona Lisa destroyed, mimes Edvard Munch's "The Scream".
Duke's gun turns out to have under-powred amunition, which allows a small book to stop it.
Benoit and Helen infiltrate "The Shitheads" to act as the ultimate Disruptors, those who serve Justice, or at least, Vengeance.
The details that go into movies ate insane just as much as ppl putting it together lol
It's very quick but you can see Miles carrying Duke's gun when he's sneaking around in the hallway while the lights are out.
Spotted the gun again! This time right before he makes Duke's drink.
Finally someone said it
I didnât even notice the first time I watched it that he passed him the drink but on second watch it was obvious. Loved that he called her Helen before the big reveal
I was wondering what Miles thought was happening when "Andi" arrived at the island after he killed her. Even after Duke showed him the news story of Andi's death breaking online, I wasn't sure what exactly he thought was going on.
I think that part simply wasn't touched upon, but taking into account what the movie tells us about Miles, I think he really believed it was Andi. For one thing, Miles is very stupid, and I wouldn't put it past him to believe in ghosts or something. As well, if Andi did tell him she had a twin sister, I'd bet he didn't even remember. (Though to be fair, most of us wouldn't expect that)
I figure he thought she survived his first attempt and came to the island to find the envelope. Then at the end, when Helen walks down the stairs covered in Jeremy Renner's hot sauce- I interpret his expression to be one of wondering how Andi survived his SECOND murder attempt. And then when it's revealed it's actually Helen, his face seems more surprised to me, realizing Andi is actually dead.
I'm more baffled by the idea that Ethan Hawke was in this movie only for 3 minutes.
I actually saw him hand Duke his glass I was like I know Iâm not buggin
I almost wish that as they had her destroying all the stuff they woulda cut back and forth with him going back over how to be a disruptor like this video shows but at the same time its awesome they left it to the viewer
I loved the dinner scene when the game was about to begin.
This was 1000% better than other Things You Missed vids on this movie which pointed out the obvious
also The Innovator's Dilemma: When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail..... a big hint
Helen (and Andi's) last name Brand in Dutch means ''fire'' ;)
I love this movie even more hearing the attention to detail put into crafting it
I thought it was funny that I didn't pick up on any of the obvious clues I see people mention or even many of these. I figured it out when right after Miles makes the drink used to kill Duke, the first viewing of the scene shows him handing it to Duke. If I remember correctly, there were two cutbacks to that scene before the reveal and both cutbacks show Duke picking up a glass. I noticed it right away and when the cutback showed something different, it was enough to convince me. Then Blanc mentioned seeing something the way you're "told" it happened skews your way of seeing how it actually occurred just brought it all full circle.
Couldn't help noticing two paintings when Blanc is with Helen/Andi in a bathroom. Behind Blanc is Matisse's cut-out of Icarus (Miles has flown too close to the sun, it seems) and behind Helen / Andi is Degas's The Absinthe Drinkers, a miserable couple hooked on alcohol, who's dreams are dashed and illusory. Tho the drink she can't get enough of seems to do wonders for her
Miles looking like Tom Cruise in Magnolia in the flasbacks and the guy "going through something" on the island, is Trooper Wagner from Knives Out
Loved this sequel
Although ending couldâve been better in my opinion
they should've used to tape recorder to record his confession towards the end.
@@user-di4ss8yo9ishe didnât allow him to burn it, if you were paying attention at all youâd see that him burning the napkin caught EVERYONE off guard. Even I didnât think he was going to burn it. By the time it was lit, it was too late. A napkin is waaaaay thinner than regular paper so itâll burn even faster. And with it being a small square napkin, one wouldnât really have time to put it out before its completely engulfed in flames and turned to ash
@@nunugirlswag109 But Why she have to show it to someone who kill her sister. Like He Kill YOUR SISTER FOR THAT SMALL NAPKIN.
I expected a final twist, like the napkin was not the original and in the end she would take out the one that is
Omg yes, I was expecting a plot twist or something cause the ending was so silly
One thing also around when miles takes dukes phone after he kills him⊠if you watch miles left hand as he hugs duke here.. you can see miles grab dukes gun during the hug and looks like he puts it inside the back of his waist band before turning around to go make his drinkâŠ. Also as he makes his drink⊠you can see miles actually put the gun down at his little bar thing heâs making his drink on ⊠and itâs there that we see him grab the gun from later when the lights go out
Miles stole the idea of burning the napkin from Lionel. You can see him figure it out when Lionel says, "You didn't burn it?"
