@@Telsion By Harlan Thrombey to Marta over their Go game, when he's toying with the knife he'll soon use to cut his own throat. I think it was also a metaphor for the kind of thinking he and Ransom used, running silly games in the face of real life-and-death stakes. Ransom cooked up a murder scheme worthy of Harlan's stories, and Harlan took the bait, playing along to the point that he killed himself. Had he done the sensible thing, he'd have been fine. But he couldn't resist playing the game as though it was all prop knives, even though it was a real one that opened his throat. I think there's an even larger metaphor at play here about the difference between the way wealthy people view the world and people like Marta, who're never more than a paycheck or two from ruin.

What's satisfying about having all the necessary information to solve the mystery actually take place on screen before the big reveal is that as a viewer, we can put ourselves in Blanc's place and think, "yeah, he's a good detective" instead of just laying back and accepting that he is some kind of supernaturally gifted person who solves mysteries. It doesn't feel cheap, it feels real and immersive.

TBH, it did feel cheap. He literally said he knew Marta was the killer from the second he met her based on blood evidence on her shoe that he ignored. Why did he ignore? Because of his supernatural power to know she was innocent after 5 seconds of meeting her and then wasting the entire time pretending to investigate something he already knew the answer too, all while putting crucial evidence in jeopardy. I liked the movie, but the ending was too "the author handed me, the investigator, all the answers on a silver plate and I didn't earn any of this" for my taste.

@@blueskye2790 he didnt ignore her, he was putting the pieces together. He knew he was hired by someone with a lot of money to investigate the death, he then realized after talking with the family and meeting marta that Marta had something to do with it. The person who hired him literally told him Marta cant lie without puking. So he knows marta is involved, but she obviously didnt hire him, nor did the rest of the family, and he didnt see why she would murder Harlen, if she knew it would be impossible for her to lie herself out of the crime. He also knew whoever hired him wanted Marta arrested so she wouldnt inherit the money, but the rest of the family didnt know she was inheriting it from the will, Only Ransom did, so when he pulled up Blanc began putting more pieces together, the only family member who knew what was in the will. He realized something was wrong and it was likely a setup from the very beginning, so he stayed close to Marta until Ransom got her away during the whole will reading ordeal. Theres a lot to it, and it makes sense that Blanc wouldnt immediately arrest marta. The police deemed it a suicide, and he wasnt in a position to prove it wasnt, hence the follow up tox report. A drop of blood on a shoe wont hold up in court, shes a nurse, theres a lot of reasons why she would have a drop of harlans blood on her shoe, including a drop from his innoculation. He needed to put all the pieces together carefully for the full picture. Even at the end they admit they cant arrest Ransom because they dont have enough evidence for the court system unless Fran survives. Fran died, and they tricked Ransom (the worst part of the film genuinely since Marta lies) and then they could arrest him.

I don't know if 40 million is a small budget, but I do agree that smaller budget movies have the potential to be truly great in a way the big ones just can't reproduce. Whiplash with only 3.3 million in budget is one of my favourites

I've watched this movie 4 times now. Each time I've rewatched this movie I've picked up on new Easter Eggs, foreshadowing, etc. If you pay attention to details the movie can be quite revealing. Which I really love! For example, Richard actually exposes himself cheating on his wife by throwing the baseball out the window when looking for the hidden letter that Harlan wrote. Next, later on, as Blanc and Marta are combing the mansion for clues he throws the baseball for the dogs in the yard but instead, they return the broken lattice, leaving the baseball out in the yard. Finally, near the end of the movie we see Linda returning the recovered baseball to her late father's study. There she finds the letter open and thus revealing Richard being a cheater. Full circle. Like a donut hole within a donut... Also, when Ransom is first revealed to us the dogs are barking at him and jumping on him like crazy. The same testimony we are told that when the dogs were heard barking late at night from when he came back to mess with the medicine bag. Finally, you can also see the painting of Harlan change from having a stoic/concerned look (when Marta is looking at it before her interview with Blanc), and then when the mystery is solved at the end of the movie we can see Harlan smirking/smiling. These are just some of my favorite ones that I noticed! Others include the foreshadowing of the stage prop knife from Harlan and then Ransom stabbing Marta with a "stage prop" knife and the family getting Marta's nationality wrong every time they mention where she is from. I believe this movie was wonderfully written and shot. I can't wait for the second one to come out!

Marta being willing to give up the family fortune proved that she was the one true heir, the worthiest of Harlan’s riches and estate. Despite having none of his blood in her veins, she had all his humility, something that he couldn’t pass onto any of his descendants.

I love how you switch Protagonist, and Antagonist with the Genre. At the beginning, Blanc is presented as the Poirot character. Then, he flips the script, and Marta becomes the protagonist, with the relentless pursuit of the dogged Detective. So, it switches from Columbo to The Fugitive, then back. Brilliant.

I feel misled by the title. Not once was Rian emotionally distraught during this video.

I wish he had made ep. 9 too, cuz I truely believe it would make both movies better and more in sync

The amount of thinking and plotting that had to be done for this mystery is amazing. Mysteries are difficult to write!

The will reading scene was funny as hell.

Rian Johnson is off on Hitchcock's criticism of whodunnits. It wasn't because it was all a big buildup to a surprise at the end. Hitchcock's real criticism, having come out of the silent era, was that whodunnits were innately expository and verbal and more suited for the theatre-antithetical to his idea of "pure cinema" wherein you can emotionally connect without the need for dialogue. Nonetheless, Rian Johnson is one of the few to make the genre cinematic. Awesome insight.

Knives Out was pretty dope. Nice to see he could make a successful movie without the power of Disney behind him.

​@@BT-su1yfI completely agree. Plus, part of the reason it was a messy film was because the directors changed in between movies. They both had a different idea of what they wanted the sequel movies to be.

Probably my favourite part of the movie is how Johnson clearly sign posts who the actual villain is, but because of the early flash back, you disregard because you think you know what happened. It’s probably the most innovative who-dunnit I’ve seen since Murder On The Orient Express (which was only innovative to me because of the solution). I also love the fact that it’s a comedy. Knives Out has to be one of my favourite movies of 2019. And that’s genuinely amazing because that year had: Jojo Rabbit, The Irishman (or I Heard You Paint Houses), Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Avengers Endgame, Spider-Man Far From Home, Joker, 1917, A Beautiful Day In The Neighbourhood etc (why did 2019 have so many great movies?)

The thriller aspect of this movie certainly helps make it more rewatchable. Most Who-done-it’s feel like they’re only worth watching once. It’s too much like a game with clues scattered throughout and the goal is to figure it out before it’s all over. Once it’s over there is no need to watch again if you know the answers now. However with Knifes Out, after we are done with the set up and before we are put into clue hunting mode, the movie flips genres not into who-done-it but how-will-she-get-away-with-it. Only coming back to those genre conventions at the end to tie things to together. It’s a brilliant approach to help give this otherwise played out genre some new life. Giving the audience a change to experience more than just a game of hunting for clues and actually the thrill ride of a story unfolding.

Adding that cover of knives out under the final point of the video was a nice touch. Great video as usual keep it up!

Good and Bad writing are not objectively quantifiable. The line between liking something and thinking it is "good" is almost impossible to set. Even if people think they can do it, there will still be disagreements. It's basically just separating between what you think is good and what you expect others to find good based on what you pick up from the culture around you. One man's 'poignant' is another man's 'on the nose'. One man's 'complex' is another man's 'convoluted'. One man's 'calm' is another man's 'boring'

I honestly wish this guy would teach a film class. Like a series from him on KZread or somewhere, I would watch it. He really is skilled at his craft and a genius.

Have you considered doing more animated films like "the breadwinner" or any masterpiece by studio Ghibli (also house m.d please")

I would love to do something like that. Now that I've done Parasite, I'd be more comfortable doing a Studio Ghibli film. Also, I've done some research and it looks like there are quite a few interviews with the creators of House M.D. I'm not sure when I'll get around to making a video on House, so you may really enjoy listening to those interviews! Thanks for being such a consistent viewer.

Can anybody tell what is the background music at the starting 3 minutes of this video?

Really great movie and nice video. Idk how he's going to follow it up with a sequel though since what he did in this case was uniquely creative and it would be derivative to simply repeat. Hope he nails it!

Yeah, I was surprised that they actually are doing a sequel. It's a nice compliment that people really liked Knives Out, but to actually try and make a sequel that's on par is difficult. Hope he nails it as well.

Literally, i was thinking and relating to Breaking bad and Better call saul - where Saul knows what he has done and then what he does with that information, Rian Johnson refers to Walter white in Breaking bad. Not same, but close to what i was thinking and Johnson expressed in this video.

wait was marta supposed to look guilty the whole time? because literally from the beginning I didn't think she did it and never once thought throughout the movie that she did. maybe its because ana de armas is such an amazing actress but she looked innocent and kind the whole time, I thought for sure someone in that disgusting family was framing her

I mean they literally show you her accidentally overdosing Harlan. So, no, she's not supposed to look "guilty" as in she's a cold-blooded murderer who did it on purpose. She's supposed to look like someone who made a mistake and was pushed into a cover-up.

I'm glad that this film worked out for him and I hope he, and EVERYONE else who worked on the Disney Sequel Trilogy, go on to have great success in the future of whatever they choose to do.

@@fredy2041 you just didn't understand it. Try reading why it's one of the best Star Wars movies. I'm not trying to be offensive, but TLJ is complexly written and it has many subtle references to even the PT and many other movies in general. It takes more than one viewing to understand it and even then there are many things to find out by watching it more. It's a subversive, metaphorical and thematical masterpiece. Hell maybe you did understand it, but disagree with it. But there is a line between disagreeing with something and seeing its true quality. For example I agree with it 100% but I can fully understand why somebody wouldn't. What I can't understand is when someone says it's terrible when it truly isn't. It's a filmmaking fact that it's a great movie. There are many movies I don't like, but know their true value.

But please, explain me deeply. BUT NO with assumption, making things up, using your own headcannon of things you think it happened. USE THINGS THAT LITERALY JUST ONLY the movie shows and says and NOTHING ELSE Becuase I tell you this. The movie was terrible writting, nonsensical stuff that do not make any sence, the movie feels for braindead people that dont think to much. It has poor editing, poor continuty, a poor choreography ( TPM's one is miles better in compare ), lack of force on a fight. Contradictions of preeexisting canon. Awfull annoying characters, Rose more than any. The abobination of Canto Bight, a terrible misplaces Marvel esk humor that takes you out of the film, destroys any seriousness and doesnt not belong to any SW everbefore. If you thik this, the movie doesnt have anything new. Is a reskin of ESB and ROTJ, the rest is a very "sloooow" and pointless chase. The movie itself wasted 40 minutes with CB feeling worthless as well. There is subervion for subersion alone and nothing else, the movie ended with nothing. Whats more hilarious is that it ended with everyone happy, smiling and laughing despite literaly less than 20 people are alive, of thousands who just died. We have also need to count that this movie just happened a day after TFA. *Where is the good subersion that is not for subersion alone?* *Metaphorical how?* *Thematical masterpiece?* Again dude, how. how!? Explain withouth making things up beacuse it lieraly feels like if you were high and not paying attencion whatsoever and your ended overthinking it and believing what you want to believe on things the movie on reality never tells or shows. But of course, your a RJ lover, right? You will never admit that your god made a mistake and you prefer death than rather admiting, right?

@@fredy2041 here we go again with robot head and mauler. Robothead made a video about Disney not understanding lightsabers where he bashes how Luke says "lasersword" because it's always talked about as a lightsaber, yet he forgets that Anakin says "lasersword" in TPM and George Lucas refered to lightsabers many times as laserswrod because THATS WHAT THEY ARE. Disney doesn't understand lughtsabers yet in ROTJ when Luke smashes onto Vader with his, the railing takes hits from the lightsaber a few times, yet it only gets cut thru when Luke cuts Vader hand off. Spare me with Robothead and Mauler and their pointless dissection of the ST while ignoring same flaws from the previous trilogies. You are one of those who wont admit that it's a good movie even if I wrote that goddamn bible about TLJ because you listen to morons like those two. You just proved yourself not legit. Not only because you watch them, but also because you can't pay attention to a movie and connect it with the other movies. Go search the internet for TLJ's explanations and TRUE values instead of asking me to write all of that just for you because it's a shit ton to write because of how fucking complex that movie is. But then again I doubt that you would accept anything from those explanations. You would say about stuff that is headcanon even if it makes perfect sense because you're one of those if it's not drawn to you, you can't figure it out yourself. I would suggest to you to first learn filmmaking. Cheers. "RobOT HeAD aND MauLeR" 😂😂😂 ..I've seen this response from a mile away.

I love Knives out not just because it's a murder mystery, I love it because it flips the whole movie between one genre to another.

The movie gets far to little attention. It is a masterpiece on par with the old Agatha Christie novels and Alfred Hitchcock movies.

Jurassic Lion Two of those statements are correct. Knives Out is great. Rian Johnson is a great director. Last Jedi is no where close to the best Star Wars film. The plot is superfluous at parts and completely unnecessary. Characterization from previous movies is destroyed. Luke’s character changed drastically. Rey does not train early enough. Poe’s story is just a case of “I’m a woman of power, you must listen to me” despite the fact he clearly has more heart for the Resistance than the Jurassic Park person. Sequels have two jobs: be creative and stick to the logic of the previous films. TFA did more of the second thing, which is safe. It makes a good movie, but not a great movie. TLJ did the first thing which almost fucked up the SW universe. Hyperspace is somehow not canon with itself, if that’s even possible. ESB is considered to be the best movie. RotS, RO, and RotJ are considered to be up there at the top. TLJ is not close. The only ones who like that movie either aren’t Star Wars fans (as in they’re the people to say “Who’s that character again?”), they hated the backlash Rose and the Jurassic Park person got (which was unnecessary as their acting was fine; it was the director’s fault), and/or they’re the people that like to rebel and like what is unpopular.
