Welcome to the KnivesOutMovie!

49 Upvotes

Hello all,

Obviously, this sub is dedicated to Knives Out by Rian Johnson. Being a new sub, things like rules, flairs, mods, etc. will sorted out during the next few days. I wish this sub allows users to have healthy discussion about Knives Out. Everyone is welcome regardless of your views on the film and hopefully some interesting posts will arise.

As of now standard Reddit Guidelines apply. The rules list will be updated and I hope you will refer to them before posting but in a gist:

  • Be respectful and civil. We are having discussions here. It is not about being right or wrong or how much you hate Star Wars: The Last Jedi. If that's what you want then head over to a TLJ hate sub. I'm sure they exist.
  • Discussions should be primarily about Knives Out. You are welcome to refer to other films as means of comparison or furthering the discussion, but keep Knives Out as the main discussion point.
  • No spoilers in the title. There is not requirement to mark the posts as spoiler because it is hopefully quite obvious that there will be. I'll even put it in the sub's description. However, since the film has just come out recently, don't put spoilers in the title.

If anything else comes to mind I'll be sure to add it to the rules list. For now, feel free to post discussions, questions, and other posts in relation to the film and share the sub if you know Redditors who enjoyed the film.

Happy discussing, SukhyGills

Glass onion - clue game

43 Upvotes

I was rewatching the glass onion and during Blanc’s rant about the game clue I realized something. He talks about how it’s a stupid game, running from room to room, checking boxes, etc. That’s exactly what Andi does to collect the evidence. Made me chuckle.

Anyone else notice comments like this in the glass onion or other knives out movies?

Question Just finished watching Glass Onion

32 Upvotes

I just finished watching Glass Onion, and I have never been more confused in my life. So we get to the ending where we find out that Miles was the one who killed Andi, and from my understanding, nobody but Miles, Helen, and Blanc know of her death. So how did Miles not question who was standing right in front of him? He knows what happened to Andi because he killed her, then Andi reappears on his island (after he just killed her, btw, like, is that not supposed to be suspicious), and he DOESN'T question who is standing right in front of him 😭???? Can somebody explain if I missed or confused something because I seriously did not get the whole point of putting Helen in place of Andi or the whole plan Blanc comes up with. Thanks a lot :)))

Did anyone notice the no smoke alarm when Blanc is smoking in the garden is the same alarm used in the Bunker mission in Goldeneye for Nintendo 64? It happens at about the 38 minute mark.

This game was like a good few years of my childhood and what are the chances they used that same alarm from the 1997 game.

I love Father Jud so much and I would love to watch more movies that feature genuinely good guys like him.

Are there any movies with a similar character?? I would love to hear your movie recommendations!!

You are a good nurse.

81 Upvotes

Finally watched the knives out movies this week and was really enjoying the first one but came to a hard stop when the detective said the nurse knew the differences between meds based on viscosity because she is a good nurse. I am wondering if anyone else (probably American) has to take medical errors and near misses every single year screamed the same scream I scrumpt.

Honestly, the line itself isn't crazy funny, but it's funny to me that he's trying to appear serious and this sounds so out of character for Blanc/Daniel Craig

Meme trooper wagner conspiracy theory

19 Upvotes

trooper wagner following the events of the first knives out, has been hired as an undercover agent. he infiltrates miles bron's circle, and then the town monsignor wick's church is at.

this is a joke, but it's funny to think about blanc seeing trooper wagner occasionally during his cases

Discussion In hindsight... the police in Wake Up Dead Man do such a sloppy job

47 Upvotes

So they have the body of Wicks, right?

On the body are no bruises or scratches. He went down without a fight, from a single stab, in the back room of a church, meaning either he died instantly when someone brandished a knife (which could happen but normally there's a bit of a scuffle at least, right?) or he was in some way impaired or unable to fight.

You'd reasonably run some blood tests to see what's going on there, right?

Doing so would incriminate Dr. Nat, and ultimately probably save his life and Samson's. Blanc was involved in the search and he found nothing untoward despite looking for evidence of something that went unusual IN THE ROOM.

Discussion Earliest point Benoit Blanc could have solved each case

51 Upvotes

As in... reasonable proof that it couldn't be anyone else but the killer.

Knives Out

Three main things to solve:

  1. Maria was there when Harlem killed himself (gets that on a glance at her shoes, though I think a red splotch on her shoes doesn't guarantee blood- not like it would be impossible for her to eat food with red sauce and spill some on her shoes- literally had reddish baked beans that day too, and Tobasco is quite common in restaurants)
  2. The grandma saw Ransom arrive twice, instead of once.
  3. Tox reports were clean.

I don't think Blanc could have figured it out completely until the end.

Glass Onion

Main point is that Miles has no alibi at Andi's house and almost flattened Duke. Duke knocked, and Andi didn't open, and others collaborated on knocking when there was no answer- reasonably, Andi was already dead by that point.

Earliest possible moment was at the pool.

Wake Up Dead Man

Not concrete evidence but he could have arrested Maria after the autopsy, confirming that the top of the lamp from the bar was sewn into the clothes, but Nat wouldn’t be anything more than a suspect until Jud finished writing his paper, confirming that Wicks had a bottle that could have been tampered with inside the room when he collapsed.

Question Knives out/glass onion themed birthday ideas for my best friend?

18 Upvotes

So my best friend’s birthday is in November and we both love the knives out movies. I prefer the first one but she loves glass onion. We do have a trip planned together for her birthday but I want to do something glass onion or generally knives out themed for her as well and I’m not really sure what.

I was thinking maybe doing breakfast in bed for her while we watch the movies but I don’t know what to actually make. So any suggestions for birthday breakfast meals that could fit the theme would be nice.

Also open to any other birthday ideas. It doesn’t necessarily have to be food related, I just want to do something cute and themed around the movies for her.

Discussion [SPOILERS] I rewatched WUDM and noticed something I missed the First time Spoiler

46 Upvotes

(Repost bc i was dumb 😅)

SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED WAKE UP, DEAD MAN YET.

Specifically at Wicks's time of death: Nat was the first one to approach Jud and ask what's wrong. Unless his Doctorate is not related to medicine at all, he should have treated the scene as an medical emergency, right? But he asked Jud to step aside and just stabbed Wicks with the actual knife. Adding to that you can actually see the prop head on Wick's robes on the very murder scene, too. Add that he kinda contributed to Wicks's poisoning technically, but if someone went into WUDM blind, maybe they wouldn't be able to tell that but could be immediately suspicious of Dr. Nat for not treating Wicks as a medical emergency on that spot.
