One thing I personally noticed is how sir James death was kind of foreshadowed throughout the film almost every time we see sir James he is reading a newspaper and later on in the film his death is discovered through a newspaper article and as for his actual cause of death there is a scene where he asks Oliver to leave saltburn to allow the family ‘to grieve in private’ indicating that the death of his two children is too much for him and is not only asking him to leave because the family is upset but so that he would be able to have more privacy to end his own life (if that makes sense)

The "Superbad" clip was an excellent clue to the twist, since it showed Fogell lying about his identity as McLovin, when Oliver is also lying about who he really is.

And the red curtain drawn when Oliver tells Felix about his dad's "death".

Wow the Doppelganger one is very unsettling and clever 😮

In the movie when it is revealed that the father Sir James is dead, I believe it to because of suicide. Elsbeth says something along the lines of “I can’t believe he waited so long”. Would make sense because the pain of losing both of his children would be unbearable

Did anyone notice Elspeth take off her ring when she ran into Oliver at the coffee shop after James Catton's death... You can see her wearing it at the start of the scene and later in the scene when she's touching Oliver's arm it's removed!

There's so so much to this movie!! It's so clever, funny, and stylish, so it's disappointing the amount of people I see saying "it's all about the shock value of the disgusting scenes" etc ... if that's all you took from this film, that's on you.

I don't think he necessarly killled the father. He just made sure none of the children would inherit, flirts gently with Rosamund. All was left to do was to show up when she'd become a widow, which would eventually happen considering the age gap and finish the work. He took his money and left, maybe respected him in a way because he did felt threatened by him and not untouchable like the rest of the bunch.

I don't know if this is an idea but Oliver could be nod to "Oliver Cromwell" who was famous for ruling the Country after beheading the King Charles I. A lower person beheading a monarch or noblemen in the case of Saltburn. Also to add to the Minotaur, Felix's costume is cupid-like but could also be reminiscent of Icarus with him having a "fall" of sorts with Icarus being the son of the builder of the Labyrinth to hold the Minotaur, Daeleus.

Oliver’s surname Quick also refers to the living, most commonly used with the phrase the quick and the dead. Oliver is most definitely quick in the film whilst the other main characters soon become dead.

​@@4my2boys2 yes, he's grown up when elsbeth runs into him in the coffee shop,, but not only that there is a clue..it shows the server wearing a mask which tells us the year is most likely now 2020 or 2021, the story took place in 2006 before that, so it had been about 14-15 years.

Not sure if it’s an Easter egg as such, but in Oliver’s very first meeting with Farleigh, when reading his essay, he says about ‘a gallop of lines’. In his very last conversation with Farleigh, he says that Farleigh was ‘racking up lines’.

It's perhaps a bit too obvious to be a true foreshadowing, but Felix's outfit at the party includes angel wings when he's just minutes from getting his own ones...

I thought of this too! Also, I love that Oliver is wearing antlers and goes as a stag, which is posing as an innocent hunted creature, but he is really the hunter. He lied through his costume as he lies in real life about his true personality.

There are so many interpretations of this film which I think makes it a good one. My main interpretation was that this film is about vulnerability. Despite aristocrats typically being guarded and elusive to preserve their wealth the film reveals that everyone has vulnerabilities based on their deepest desires. These can be exploited to build trust as Oliver does so tactfully. I think the maze represents the path to each persons vulnerability. Felix - Oliver positioning himself as a "working class", innocent, harmless boy appeals to Felix's desire to be superior Elspeth - Oliver complimenting Elspeth under the statue appeals to her desire to be beautiful and to seek validation Venetia - Oliver pleasuring Venetia outside his window appeals to her desire to be desired and be beautiful (like her mum) James Clark - Oliver knowing about Palissy plates appeals to his desire to own expensive ceramics not accessible to the majority of people Farleigh - Oliver empathising with Farleigh over his family situation in addition to masturbating him appeals to his desire to fit in and seek pleasure Clearly there is a Machiavellian theme throughout the entire film; "Machiavelli presented the view that politics is amoral, suggesting that unscrupulous actions involving deceit, treachery, and violence are permissible means of acquiring and maintaining political power"

Yeaaahhh but you know in real life things doens t really work that way... it would be *for all the murder cases* very clear that those are no "naturat" death cases. Like for example with the throat tube, that would be very clear for the investigation that she died because lack of oxigen and thet can't be possible without those life supports. So yeah it was good the movie, very well made and beautiful scenes but also very unrealistic in some ways.

I agree. I think he is amazing. The next DiCaprio in terms of talent.

the actual owners of the Saltburn house (Stopford Sackville family) are mentioned when the family discusses the dinner with the "henrys" -

I caught that doppleganger story and I saw Felix’s “doppleganger” when I saw it!! I thought that would be the twist at the end of the movie - esp w Oliver’s complete 180. I was wrong but it would’ve been pretty cool!

A hidden detail I saw in the film that had some foreshadowing and I guess metaphorical was with the connection of blood, Venitia’s death & the bathtub. Oliver sees Felix in the bathtub & waits for him to leave so he can *ahem*. Oliver then gets “intimate” with Venetia despite it being a different time of the month. Oliver says to her, “luckily for you, I’m a vampire”. A vampire is a blood sucker who kills his victims by draining the blood from them. Also Vampire’s can use a glare to seduce their victims into submission. Oliver then gets into the bathtub, revealing his mouth covered in Venitia’s blood. Oliver spoke a lot of lies from his mouth. His lies got him where he wanted to be. After Felix’s death/funeral, Venitia is in the bath and reads Oliver like a book. Making him aware that she knows what he is but refers to him as a moth that likes shiny things. Shortly after, Venetia is in the bathtub of her own blood with her eyes opened above the water. It’s as if what she saw was what got her killed. Venitia saw Oliver for the first time clearly. Her realization got her murdered. I didn’t realize the wine pouring spill was a foreshadowing moment but it can definitely be connected to how she met her demise.

I’m obsessed with this move like I was with promising young woman 🩷 Barry has stolen my twisted little heart 💙 and those eyes whew 🥵

Great movie. Lots of echoes: The Graduate, The Draughtsman’s Contract, Clockwork Orange, Parasite.

Clockwork orange how?

I thought the fact that Felix wore angel wings to the party was a pretty obvious bit of foreshadowing.

Actually in the scene where is Elspeth with Oliver, the statue in the background is Samson slaying a Philistine, that is story from the Old Testament.

I do think Oliver indirectly caused the father’s death from overwhelming grief.

In one scene Venetia is lying on the dock and her hair hangs over the edge. Later when she is found in the bathtub her hair is also hanging over the edge

Very much like The Shining. The maze, Oliver looking over the maze, mirrors, the location being a maze-like main character in itself, creepy bath scenes. Also, the plot was timeless. Oliver is Richard III, for example.

Important video, Neil. I agree with most of your reasons, I don't identify with a couple but hockey has made many changes in the past 20-25 years that have taken away from my enjoyment of watching NHL hockey, especially on TV. I hope you get your mojo back someday as far as the NHL is concerned, not the least of which is because your team gets good again. I think they will.

I called the guy walking by the window not because of the conversation but I thought they had to do a reshoot and someone walked by they couldn’t edit out. I had said at the time “shouldn’t everyone who isn’t a worker be in that room eating?” Didn’t occur to me it was on purpose

This film has similar vibe to a Swedish crime thriller series called Zebrarummet (A Class Apart) which involves murder at an elite boarding school where a group of frat students participate in debauchery and taboo rituals that lead to a death. The party scenes with stag horns and dark undertones seems copied by Saltburn.

Little about any of these characters felt authentic to me, although I came closest to buying Oliver as feeling left out and wanting to belong to the "alpha hotties" as Emerald calls them. But if that's true, then I don't buy him wanting to kill them all. Was it really just about wanting a big empty house? And unless he could sell it quickly - which is not easy to do - it looks more the like the kind of place that will cost you a fortune then make you one. Separately, I also don't buy the police missing all 3 (four?) of the murders, especially as they kept stacking up.

At the end when Oliver mentions, there are no real accidents. I think he did take out Sir James. I think when he got the money To leave the castle he had plenty to live on for those years and then when he started getting low on funds, he took him out like he had always planned

Not really an Easter Egg, but when Oliver meets Michael at dinner the first night at Oxford, Michael screams at him to ask him a sum. Nobody else seems to notice. The rooms gets a bit quiet but then louder after a few seconds. What does that mean?

@lbougie

4 күн бұрын

Maybe Michael knew that Oliver’s intelligence is based on a lie. He used products instead of sums. For example, sum means adding numbers. Like I say 8 is a sum of 4 and 4 by this observation, 4 + 4 = 8. Next one, 8 is a product of 2 and 4, a product means multiplying or dividing numbers. 4 x 2 = 8. Sum (adding) is the opposite of difference (subtracting) and product (multiplying) is the opposite of quotient (dividing). He never knew the sums, probably a school dropout before entering to Oxford. Michael is shocked and upset at this because all of this fascination from Oliver was crushed by never being more intelligent and helpfully needed which indicates that he caused some trouble throughout the future.

It’s also a vampire movie - at one point made explicably obvious

Appearances were deceptive. Scratch the surface of the family to reveal love for family, and generosity. Scratch the surface of Oliver to reveal the opposite.

The part of the plot I don't get is the inheritance. Oliver could not possibly keep Saltburn due to the taxes he would have had to pay to become the owner, and was in no position to keep the house. Bit odd.

It's not just the house he inherits but the estate, meaning all the money, stocks, bonds, etc. He inherits millions of dollars on top of the house, so I think he can afford the taxes.

At the beginning, Oliver appears to be telling the story to someone - who? Psychiatrist? Journalist? Police? It certainly suggests that he has been found out

But Elspeth's illness was natural, or did Oliver do something to her???

@lbougie

4 күн бұрын

She was diagnosed with Covid, but Oliver and Elspeth never wore the masks. Remember the milk and cookies with the codes from his laptop? Milk and Cookies metaphor means that a person is killing someone with poison. The answer is that Oliver slowly poisons Elspeth before she was in a comatose state, it’s all thanks to Melanie Martinez. James is the milk because he’s natural but also spoiled due to his anger issues, he died being expired. Elspeth is the cookie who was sweet, delectable, fresh, and “too hard to chew” because she’s a terrible person who hates ugly people and even the toys she brought and tossed including Pamela. I’m think Oliver poisoned Elspeth with his cocaine champagne concoction or a melatonin (like it says from the song) but was off screen.
