What’s your favorite mystery movie/TV show? Or one you just really recommend?

Memento and Se7en are my favorite out of being a mystery/detective but their own way. Memento has the twist of Teddy not being the attacker to Leonard while Leonard was going through amnesia. Se7en with its twist of Tracy being dead with her head of being "What's in the box?" They're all unique in their own setting like it's a Jigsaw Puzzle to solve like in SAW to figure out why John Krammer is doing these traps on innocent people where they're not innocent for their life. That's what got me from those movies.

@@CinemaStix If I had to recommend a film for you to watch it would either be 2001 A Space Odyssey because the film was so ahead of its time with Kubrick’s camera angles as an illusion to his technique of using an image projected by the camera as well as if there's other life forms as well. Then if you're really into psychology with film, it would be Mary and Max because of the awareness of Asperger’s Syndrome on film where Autism has been talked about in Rain Man as well as The Accountant with Ben Affleck. They all portray Autism/Asperger’s Syndrome very well in their own way. If you haven't watched any of these films, I recommend them.

I’m surprised the influence of Columbo wasn’t mentioned. The whole “find out early on who the killer is and watch them try to cover their tracks” is definitely inspired by Columbo, just with a twist.

@CinemaStix

Жыл бұрын

True, although with Columbo I wouldn’t even say it’s “early on”. It’s immediately. It’s a complete anti-whodunnit. In Knives Out there is an actual period of time where it remains in the traditional whodunnit format and you’re left wondering. Columbo is a cat and mouse game from the very beginning, and while Knives Out gives us a lot of information, Columbo is a total information game outside of how he eventually traps the killer into a confession. Still, yeah, the influences are inevitable within the genre. … Columbo, by the way, is my favorite show of all time. So I’m just glad it’s getting mentioned in the comments :) -Danny

I always loved that Jodie Foster's character was the one member of the family who actually had the intelligence and work ethic of her father. I think it's part of the reason why they were the closest, with those invisible ink messages. She's also the only prominent member of the family who he wasn't cutting off, because he didn't need to - she'd already become self-sustaining, unlike the rest. She's still not a good person, greedily awaiting her slice of her father's fortunes, but at least she was *only* greedy, instead of being a pure parasite like the rest of her family.

The picture is what we imagine but can it be made as a reality from one setting to a future setting. It reminds me of what Stanley Kubrick said a long time ago.. “Never say no to an idea - you never know how that idea will ignite another idea.”- Stanley Kubrick. That's what Rian Johnson had with Knives Out. It's also why Steven Spielberg made Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade as an apology to Temple Of Doom. Similar situation Rian Johnson did from Star Wars. You can bring back a genre that was long forgotten but with a twist and that's what Knives Out did (but without M. Night Shyamalan with his never ending twists).

Knives out also has an argument to make; a theme. Most who/why dunnit stories have the same theme over and over, or a variation of a small number, and it's very vague and usually have very little to actually argue. Knives out actually had something to say, and it was consistently expressed in all the characters and threads. Glass Onion did the same thing. This is why the new Poirot films kind of land flat.

@julesk2629

Agreed! Such an underrated movie

What I really liked about Knives Out, is the fact that it presents itself as a "false mystery" kind of thing. We, the viewer, saw the ending of Harlan Thrombey, convinced that Martha did in fact inject the wrong thing, and that Harlan commited suicide to protect her. It's not up to us to find who's done it before the end of the movie with clue gathering and all that jazz. BUT that doesn't mean that other characters in the movie have that same perspective. To everyone except Martha, that's very much a who dunnit, and therefore gets all the codes from it. The movie then turns into us following Martha that is trying to get away before Benoit Blanc finishes the who dunnit mechanic, it's absolutely not the same kind of movie, and we aren't in that clue gathering thing. Then Benoit Blanc sloves the thing, exposes Ransom as the true culprit of the whole thing and then your brain (that haven't really been used much cause you weren't paying attention) clicks ans all the things that happened in the movie make sense. And there you have your dopamine hit without even knowing you were in a who dunnit from the start.

Great analysis and storytelling Mr. Stix! :}

Maybe you could redeem them. 1) What was the point of the Casino-planet arc, it served no purpose for the movie but lasted a lot longer than it had to. 2) Luke Skywalker’s character was completely destroyed and his character development from the originals thrown into the trash. 3) The hyperspace jump suicide made no sense. If hyperspace jumps actually worked like that, one could expect a whole fleet of kamikaze space ships. Rian Johnson had a poor grasped of the lore and history of Star Wars. The script was OK but had weak points. The main thing that fans like me have against Rian is that he made a film that was not Star Wars but branded and marketed as such.

Danganronpa is a pretty interesting case of a franchise entirely built upon the "whodunnit" sctruture. Kodaka wants every case to fill a entire chapter, so every murder have to be complex and full of twists and turns. So many cases extend themselves artificially with a lot of dumb plot-points and twists. Danganronpa also make clear efforts to be emotional, but ends so many cases being cheesy and over the top. The pretentious hope vs despair theme is kinda dumb.

How do you like "The hateful eight"?

I enjoyed Knives Out on my first viewing, but I think it was too obvious who the culprit was. I figured it out early on and kept waiting for there to be some twist and for me to be wrong, but I wasn't. The mystery kind of fell flat for me. So I ended up watching the movie again, knowing how it ends, and I ended up enjoying it more as a comedy with a murder mystery theme than a truly good mystery.

great vid but he did literally cite Clue (1985) as another inspiration

People just reveal their ignorance when they call Rian Johnson a bad or untalented filmmaker. It''s totally fine if you dislike some or even all of his movies as it's all subjective, but to say he doesn't understand cinema is an objectively stupid thing to say.

rian johnson made "brick" and it was the last good movie he made. he has style and sometimes clever dialogue but that's it.
