Coonskin is both racist and woke. Ralph Bakshi's connection to black people is like Nick Mullen with the Chinese.

I posted in the movie thread about it a few times, but I cannot get over the central pillar of Knives Out being here's a man who has incredible influence over politics, art, science, and entertainment, who will suddenly be held to task by the same institutions he has incredible influence over because he allowed a painting to burn up. They gave this man a literal Epstein island and we are supposed to accept that it's just over for him at the end of the movie. Also the way that the movie frames the most radical form of action as property destruction is also really interesting to me. When confronted with proof that her sister was murdered and the destruction of the only evidence with the power to correct the deceased's public image, the MC elects to destroy a bunch of crystal statues and set fire to his house. That's it. There's a secondary character who earlier tries to kill the MC out of anger over a second murder committed by the villain, and she also is completely neutralized when it's revealed that the true murderer is one of the wealthiest people on the planet. I understand why you might elect to not have these characters commit a retaliatory murder or engage in violence (even if I think it's the most human reaction possible in the context of the film), but I find that metastasized ideology to be really interesting. We all know these motherfuckers have IRL plot armor, so why bother even suggesting violence against him? It's such an interesting unconscious premise imo.

Anyway, it's not really about whether the resolution "makes sense." I just think it's interesting how internalized it is that the impetus for any sort of retaliatory action is offloaded onto ambiguous authoritative institutions-- the market and the courts (despite the fact that the movie straight up tells us they don't work.)

I said it before: if you set a bunch of gasoline or uranium or coal next to the Mona Lisa, and someone who is mad at you for defeating her sister in a spurious lawsuit (as he will claim) sets it on fire, the Mona Lisa will burn, and yet we still use those fuels. This will get half of everyone mad at him for allowing the Mona Lisa to burn, but the other half will reflexively take his side and nobody will blame the fuel.

I'd just break his skull open with one of those idiotic sculptures. Guess I'm a bad person IDK. The movie show us Whisky trying to kill Helen when she thinks that she killed Duke. However, when she learns that a rich white guy did it, all of a sudden it's a job for the authorities to sort out. a new study bible! has issued a correction as of 13:57 on Dec 27, 2022 |

if you want the actual plot hole for Glass Onion it's why didn't any of them check the garage with a running car in it? might not even be a plot hole since their hearing is probably all hosed from years of sporadic gunfire stringless has issued a correction as of 14:30 on Dec 27, 2022 |

To be absolutely fair, in addition to being a rich white guy, Miles was somebody she was loving. It was at least partly toward cynical ends, but the same could be said for Duke. But the fact he's a rich white guy probably had something to do with it too yeah. Whiskey is as much a shithead as the rest of them.

weirdly enough i think glass onion actually undersells how stupid the murderer was because there were so many problems with the plan that werent addressed the most obvious one being that the only reason the first murder goes as well as it did was because of the delay in getting the police involved get rid of the delay and all of a sudden the murderer is way easier to blackmail the second murder likewise doesnt really solve any problems that just acceding to the blackmail doesnt already solve much more efficiently but it creates a major escalation that as has already been mentioned provokes another character into a fairly predictable grief stricken rage this is never minding the fact that until the delay issue is resolved theres no particular reason why the blackmailer couldnt have just blabbed the incriminating information to anyone and everyone since there was no reason to think it was a secret and indeed its entirely possible everyone did already know theres no indication that they dont

Uncle Boogeyman posted:this is because the writer was also stupid which really pisses me off because there’s that long monologue about the stupidity of the glass onion as a symbol. The onion, a mysterious bulb that has to be peeled back layer by layer, only transparent, which removes all mystery and motive to reveal it. And yeah, it is a stupid symbol in the movie for sure. But while Benoit was talking poo poo about it, I could only think how all of those same criticisms almost equally apply to the movie itself. It wants to present as a mystery, but as that it loving sucks. In fact a central conceit of the movie is that it’s loving stupid. And I can’t believe that the writer was smart enough to recognize that he was writing about the movie itself when he composed that monologue.
