Birdie was a great representation of the "dumb influencer" character: her biggest flaw, that we see multiple times throughout the movie, is that she just doesn't understand things. She's just dumb, but not in a way that make you roll your eyes at her idiocy, she is still entertaining. I also like how, with her and Whiskey, the movie was able to give us two very different "bimbo" characters: Whiskey plays with her looks and use Duke to launch her own carreer the same way Duke uses her meanwhile Birdie knows that all she has for herslef is her looks, the girl probably couldn't cook herself an egg and would be dead in two weeks if it wasn't for Peggy.

i think the use of masks was so well done like he’s saying it really gives us a look into their characters and specifically their type of fame, Birdie’s is completely performative. it’s not doing really anything but she can argue ‘look i tried i care’ but with duke he literally doesn’t have one on at all bc his type of fame is built on saying controversial things and riling up the masses so he doesn’t have to bother pretending to care.

I love watching these Notes on a Scene because you learn that, while happy accidents happen, everything in film is intentional; frames and shots and music and props are meant to give you a little more information than what is directly said with dialogue. It's fascinating.

I loved this. I watched the movie last night and Rian's beautifully clear and un-pompous revelations here just made it so much better for me. I love his understated glee at what has been created.

Absolutely amazing to hear about the specific movements and costume choices form the director! It was so engaging to see how much he cares for this film and his obvious passion for every piece of the production that went into it! One of the things I personally really loved about both Knives Out and Glass Onion was the difference in the lighting. In Knives Out, the coloring was more muted and brown, and felt heavier and denser overall, almost claustrophobic - which makes sense as most of the movie takes place inside the house. While in Glass Onion, the colors were so much brighter and lighter, with the use of more blue and gold shades in the color grading, it felt so much more open and almost sunsoaked - which, again, made sense as most of the movie takes place outside (or in a room with a lot of natural light) in Greece on a beach

Katryn Hahn is probably one of the most underrated actress in Hollywood. She's always brilliant in every movie.

What a fantastic mystery film. The first movie was so clever and I didn't know if it could be matched, but this one matches it completely. And its the perfect type of mystery-- every bit of evidence was there for us to see prior to the reveal, they didn't bs evidence out of nowhere, it all added up perfectly. I can't wait to see more Benoit Blanc

Just watched the movie yesterday and it was a really fun watch. So many bits and pieces to catch before the reveal. It keeps the audience engaged to not want to miss anything (any small gesture, conversation, etc) but at the same time as Rian says, they try to be economical with the amount of information they're trying to feed to the audience so that the clues aren't as obvious but there are nuggets in most things that they do. Really good movie!

I greatly appreciated the portrayal of masking culture with individuals in the pandemic and their distinct personalities. Each individual's attitude toward masking matches their personality perfectly. None of it felt stereotyped or out of place. It was just pure honesty.

Met Rian very briefly at Alamo Drafthouse in LA right after a screening of the first Knives Out. He is an incredibly nice guy and I’m glad to see his success. Much deserved!

6:54 Rian Johnson: **makes a square around Jessica Henwick's foot** Quentin Tarantino: **enters the chat**

We watched this yesterday & loved it! While we love 'Knives Out' just a smidge more, this was a spectacular sequel with just as good of a murder mystery. We loved that Rian kept the same set up & backtracked halfway thru. Plus, the cast is stellar, just like 'Knives Out' 😁

i could watch his breakdown of this entire movie.

One thing I love about Rian is that he clearly loves making movies and appreciates cinema. What a cool dude.

I love how much you can tell he just loves what he does

I love Rian’s passion for filmmaking. It’s very inspiring

I love his movie break downs. I wish he did more of them

He legit is amazing at creating fantastic films - very quickly becoming one of my favourite directors

I want this for the entire movie. Please a whole visual commentary. I’d watch all 20 hours of it!

I watched this movie with my parents and they hated it because they thought it wasn't as good as the first one, they thought the reveals were a let-down and they felt it had plot holes. I didn't care because I was having such a great time. This is such an amazing sequel and it makes so much sense to me after seeing this video WHY it feels that way. Rian Johnson (for better or worse) is clearly a director that is always asking "how can we do this differently?" I see it so much in Glass Onion based on how the mysteries are presented differently, how the setting looks and feels and even what genres he plays with. There are lots of things in this movie that don't make sense in original knives out and I think that is freaking amazing and just... Well done, Rian Johnson, this is one of the best sequels ever made.

I think it's so short-sighted to judge this movie based on the first Knives Out. He's on record saying he wanted to do something completely different with this one, & he's setting up a murder mystery franchise where each installment can stand on its own, just like the Agatha Christie books.

I could listen to him talk about directing all day. You can tell he really loves what he does.

That feeling when you finish knives out 1 and 2 and then you don’t have any more movies to watch so you look on KZread for more content.

Not related to this scene breakdown but imagine my shock when I learned Joseph Gordon Levitt was part of the cast… as the voice of the hourly gong.

Literally got chills when Rian said that the inspiration was Agatha Christie. He probably won't get to see this comment, but I just want to say thank you, and I love these movies and I hope you make a million more.

Just finished Glass Onion. I’ll be honest, I saw it, knew it exactly what it was, got excited because I loved Knives out. When watching the first few scenes thinking, “it’s a sequel to a masterpiece, it’s not gonna be as good, but at least I’ll get to see Benny again.” I can say with confidence that I was dead wrong. I’m looking forward to Rian Johnson’s next masterpiece.

Cool movie, could think of a thousand other words to describe it before masterpiece tho lol

i know it's unrealistic but i would love a long video of him breaking down this entire movie

Love how it takes a 20 minutes video to masterfully explain in depth such a relatively short scene.

When he said "this scene used to be longer" I got excited. I REALLY hope there is a directors cut.

i am absolutely so in love with this movie i’m pretty sure watching it changed my life projectors i need more everyone did amazing the cast the crew but especially rian johnson

I'd seriously watch a 10 hour version of this going over the entire movie

Leslie is just killing it in all of these murder mysteries

It must be nice to have Rian Johnson on his side!

Rian is a real gentleman here. Directed and wrote a certified fresh whodunnit. Makes sure to give credit to the costume department first chance he gets Imma take Jenny Eagan's name as a good sign for a movie now.

Love this breakdown and scene. Love the way this sets the stage for the rest of the film. Enjoy it and can't wait for Knives Out 3.

you can tell he's such a director with his knowledge but the difference is that he's an actor's director. He trusts and appreciates his cast.

I could watch a 10 hour breakdown of the entire movie just like this

This is so fascinating. I have never taken anything as simple as an Intro to Film and Video class, so hearing all of this is very new to me. The level of detail and thought that goes into these scenes is mindblowing.

Love how Duke's arrival, when he avoids crushing into a truck, gives a little spoiler of the similar episode

Thank you! I love to listen to directors talk about the nuances and details of scenes. These glimpses are a master class in the art of film making.

I would love a four hour long break down of the film like this by Rian. For both this and Knives Out.

Loved the film. Such a fun caper. I appreciate the honest commentary here! Shows how much effort goes into each scene.

This guy is both an incredibly good writer and director. He writes all those amazing characters and executes his vision perfectly through directing!

It’s really nice to hear him talk about the framing for the shots x

Wow. I thought of myself as a movie buff. Ends up I don't know crap. The amount of thought and execution is insane, and fascinating.

I love Rian’s thoughts on Agatha Christie and her books! I’m such an Agatha fan, and so many people who haven’t read her books presume that they’re going to be dull and repetitive. But, as Rian says, she totally played around with different genres and subverted expectations. I’d love Benoit Blanc to solve as many mysteries as Poirot. I want Daniel Craig to still be starring in these movies when he’s in his 80s!

Been looking forward to this video! I loved the one he did for the first movie. Rian Johnson is clearly a very talented director. It’s a lot of fun hearing him explain the technical aspects of this scene. Loved this movie and I already can’t wait to see what he does with the third one!

So great news Rian's working on a 3rd knives out film, it did get delayed during the writers strike, but obviously now that that's resolved he's back on the grind. Can't WAIT RIAN!

I feel like Rian is such a great teacher and obviously an amazing director!

This man got something with this series 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

"Matches nothing else in the scene lightning wise, but it's gorgeous so who cares?" Some times things are beautiful and unintended. The makings of great cinema.
