Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)

Written by GenerationofSwine on January 13, 2023

What's great about this is that within the first minute or so of meeting every cast member you are told who they are and what their motivation is...

... so it leaves out the tedious who done it guess work of murder mysteries.

And you are told almost from the start who the killer is and what his motivation is..

... so you don't have the tedious guess work there either.

But to keep you on your toes scenes are conveniently rewritten several ways to make it seem like a mystery even though the mystery aspect has been conveniently taken out for today's low IQ audiences.

The viewer conveniently doesn't have to uncover anything, nor try to determine any motivation, and all the clues are obvious and handed to you by virtue of Bond stumbling onto them in a way that leaves the viewer in no doubt despite already knowing who the killer is and what his motivation was.

But it's Johnson so people can pretend to be intelligent by claiming that he diverted expectations of a murder mystery by taking all the thought and mystery out of it and leaving you with the obvious that has been obviously stated for today's modern audience.

But, it does hit all the political check boxes... the ones that literally every other title hits per mandate of cancel culture... So the faux intellectuals can further proclaim how smart and original it is while having it nicely fit into the same box as everything else.
