#knives out 2019

Benoit Blanc really is the most guy ever. He’s a world famous detective. He’s played by a British man but has a fake country accent. He dresses like a cartoon character and smokes cigars. He hates mystery games because he sucks at them. He plays video games with his friends in the bath over discord. He has a soft spot pathetic, righteous, panicky women. He makes up words on the fly. He’s gay. He hates rich people.

the thing that gets me so much about the storytelling in knives out is that it's a story within a story within a story- or i guess more accurately, it's a story about multiple stories being told and acted in and against each other. ransom/hugh/supreme scumbag wrote the story of harlan's murder and of pinning the crime on marta; meanwhile, harlan wrote the story of what marla would do in the aftermath of his death and the ensuing investigation.

problem for mr. hugh is, marta is not a flat character or a pawn in his game he can manipulate to his will to ensure he gets away scot free (and, to a lesser extent, despite harlan's insistence and marta's best efforts, marta cannot carry out his lie for long during the high-pressure investigation. even when it's in her own best interest to lie, marta cannot and will not be manipulated into telling a false story). marta is a smart and caring human being who has agency in her narrative- and since she is the heroine, the narrative wants her to win, so she has allies like blanc on her side. blanc mostly doesn't interfere with the stories being told, he observes them and then, as he says, strolls leisurely along the real story- the truth's- axis and eventually comes to its inevitable conclusion. this is when he will step in and act upon the narrative, but only to reveal the truth and to ensure the hero gets the rewards they deserve.

on top of all that, it really gets me how there's a very meta framing device of the primary murder victim in this mystery being a famous murder mystery author, and much of the plot revolving around his efforts to author what his loved ones' lives will be like after his death... and the way hugh's murder plot is like something right out of a harlan mystery novel (to the point that harlan, before he realizes he's about to die, makes a point to write down the method of murder as an ingenious way to kill someone)....... and all that isn't even considering all the stories the family members tell themselves and others about their relationship to harlan, how they view the family legacy, etc.

marta is the heroine precisely because she is not trying to tell a false story for her own gain (as the family accuses her of doing after the reading of the will)- she is simply concerned with carrying out her late friend's wishes and doing right by him. she is probably the only person who really knew harlan, the full truth of him, and was his friend without any selfish agenda. she is a good person, a person who would never try to claim another's story as her own, which is exactly why harlan trusted her with his life, his home, and his legacy. he couldn't have known what would happen, but he knew she would do her best to honor his memory after he was gone. ultimately though, no matter who else tried to write or edit it (including harlan), this is marta's story and hers alone to live and change and discover.

this has been a long post already so i'll end it here but suffice it to say that over four years post-release, i'm still so fascinated by the ways these characters actively try to either rewrite the story playing out in front of them, or reveal the truth at the heart of things (as blanc would say, the hole inside of the donut's hole). this movie just makes my storytelling and puzzle-loving nerd heart go BRRRRR

Knives Out AU where Ransom genuinely makes a deal with Marta to get a cut of the inheritance and he just pragmatically sticks around the house (which is now Marta's) as a buffer and things just kinda happen that make him keep changing the plan, and hey, wouldn't marrying Marta mean he gets more of the inheritance, it's just logical! And it just keeps escalating and cut to like 10 years later to Ransom and Marta at some school play one of their children is in, Ransom's semi-seriously arguing with other parents over whose kid is the most talented, (he has a full-on rivalry with some parent here, it's a whole thing) and "shut up, Meg, this is still all just part of the plan!"

just watched knives out for the benoit blanc lore before i watch glass onion, and hooo boy was that a rollercoaster

i was surprisingly fond of evil chris evans, cuz im used to him as good ole capsicle, and marta is a cinnamon roll and a half. also my mom hated blancs accent, i loved it - adds a little bit of ~spice~

all in all good movie, solid cast, 10/10, exited for glass onion!

I’m rewatching Knives Out after seeing Glass Onion but it’s always struck me that they really told us who Ransom was right off the bat. One of the first things we learn about Ransom, that he tells us himself, is that he makes the help call him Hugh. He treats the help like shit. Because he’s an asshole. Not an asshole with a heart of gold. That brand of asshole doesn’t treat his “inferiors” like shit. He’s just an asshole and we were told that right off the bat.

Game night at the Thrombey household

Walt, taking more cards from the Uno deck: WhAT IS THIS GAME?! ARE. YOU. SERIOUS?! GIVE ME A GREEN CARD!

Ransom, who was the one to mix the deck: *trying to not laugh at his raging*

Walt, finally getting a green: HOLY SHIT-!

*throws the card on the pile*

Harlan, who was next: …

Marta who can see his cards: oh god, don’t do it-

Harlan: *puts in a green reverse card*

Walt:..I dONT HAVE A GREEN!!

Ransom struggling to breath as he laughs at Walt’s despair:

Walt: AHHH
