Obsessed with the fact that serena williams sat there listening to the greatest detective alive and the founder of a tech company who’s just been embroiled in a public trial solving a murder case and she went back to reading her science fiction book.. queen of minding her own business

first and foremost a knives out movie is about women of color subverting and getting the better of the systems that have oppressed them. but after that it’s about benoit blanc making a food metaphor his whole personally for a week and then using said food metaphor to dunk on rich people and solve a murder

Knives Out movies are basically a gay southern man helping women/of color get independence and/or revenge from rich people that mistreat them or their family. And I think that is perfect.

Benoit Blanc is such a deconstruction of the Impartial Detective and i love it. Most modern day fictional detectives care more about finding "the truth" than actually helping their clients. They are Cold and sometimes Callous cause they are just "too" smart to be tied down by such "ridiculous notions like "feelings".

Blanc isn't like that at all. He picks favorites. He allied himself with the suspected killer because he judged her as too good and kind to be a cold blooded murderer and he was right. He tells his clients/ possible victims to go fuck themselves the moment it's clear they are in the wrong because he doesn't like them as people. He helps the main characters get the truth.

But he also gets them justice. That clearly is what he cares about more.

my favourite part about watching Glass Onion with my niece (6) was when ‘the disruptors’ were solving the puzzle box together and her exasperated little voice going I would just smash it only for Helen to do exactly that just moments later.

Ok, ok, but can we talk about *Cassandra* and *Helen* Brand?

Cassandra- the one who can see danger in the future, but is never believed, and is killed in the conflict to bring down Troy.

Helen- the woman who watches this city that isnt hers burn to the ground and gets to return home. how interesting that she's the one using deception to sneak the enemy into the walls this time. How interesting that she's the one who sets the fire this time. That it is her actions that brings the armada of Greek police boats (ships) to the shore.

made this post for sapphic reasons

Edit: assume this post says “working class/woman who destroys the rich”, and not WOC ‘cause I got it wrong. Ana de Armas is not a WOC — she’s Caucasian and of Spanish/Cuban descent which is her ethnicity.

glass onion spoilers, again

they were so genius for the hair styles of helen & andi, with their hair being parted on different sides

cassandra/andi:

helen as helen:

helen as andi:

and they were even more sick for helen to wear the same earrings that andi had in the court when the shitheads last saw her, and then helen as andi had them on, on the way to the island:

(also this pose where both of them radiate the similar energy as the mona lisa ♥♥)

i love that helen knew andi so well - studied her journals, was listening to her recordings, probably had lot of pictures even from news about her, etc - but still deliberately chose to wear the hair parted to a different side!!

once again, *chef’s kiss*!

#i was rewatching the movie.. as you do and there was something about the earrings that i noticed helen had the same ones as andi #but then i noticed also the hair difference! ijustlove it #thank you costume and hairstyles departments!! #glass onion #glass onion spoilers #knives out #glass onion a knives out mystery #janelle monae #helen brand #cassandra brand #mine #long post #spoilers #it seems in the flashbacks andi always had them parted on one side and suddenly helen (as andi) shows up with a very small difference #but her friends (who aren’t really her friends) never notice that because ofc they dont

[a-door-to-somewhere]

Rewatched glass onion, here's some more things I liked that I picked up on the second time around

- Helen's face as she destroys the box- it's not the calm coolness we see from 'andi' it's grief

- peg's already putting put fires in the box opening scene

- the invitation has an evil eye on it, symbolizing jealousy, ill wishing (which killed andi)

- birdie claims she says what everyone's thinking but doesn't want to say. On the boat, she tells 'andi' (helen) "nobody wants you here," but miles greets andi with a "I'm so glad you came."

- andi could've just taken a picture of the napkin itself as evidence. But she deliberately sent the proof to only the Shitheads, instead of just to the courts. In that scene, a picture of an ourobouros is behind her, symbolizing the cycle of manipulation, blackmail, and games between the rich bitches

- we all get to see what the Shitheads look like while they lie in the court scene (Claire stutters, avoids eye contact, Birdie is too casual, Lionel is too quiet, etc.) And they're all terrible at it. The lot of them really didn't straight up lie at all- the most they did was lie by omission, until it came to flat put deny visual evidence for miles.

- miles gets all squirrely when Benoit asks why his car is 'here,' because he'd just been driving it around on another continent to kill andi and such- so it's not one of a kind, either

- miles makes a dumbass comment to whiskey about the necklace he gave her

- while there certainly is a chekhov's smoking napkin, the random guy, Derol, was actually just a random guy

[they-callme-ami]

Knives Out and Glass Onion obviously are great for a multitude of reasons, but I enjoy how at the center, the REAL victims and those who got justice for the people wronged in the end were WOC and I want to see more of that if/when more sequels come out.

Cassandra, the one who told the truth but no one believed and Helen, the face that launched a thousand ships. 

No one believed Andi at the trial, no one believed her when she put it out in the open the Claire was lying. In the end, the ships were launched and came to Miles’ island because Helen burnt it all down.

The thing about the ending of Glass Onion, when the Shitheads finally turn against Miles is.... they don’t have the “courage” (rather boldness, in the context) to finally do it because of better morals or better spine. All of those years they hang onto him because he was impenetrable. He was a source of their success by associating themselves to him. He could salvage them from their scandals and hype their reputation.

But Miles is about to make the headline of a scandal so notorious to go down in history. He has now become A LIABILITY. And these people got where they are by being cockroaches... pirasites. They will abandon him and lie/say half truths all over in a court in any way that benefits them and hides any of their blame, too, taking advantage of Miles’ soon to sink incredible lows and lose all credibility soon enough. Just like they did with Andi/Cassandra.

This is not some character development in them. And Helen probably knew what she was doing. She put them to the test. She understood what way they will turn, going wherever the wind blows. And then she just... put the pistol on the table....and left.
