Taking the phrase "dysregulated nervous system" away from the normies and putting it on a shelf. And then slamming their heads through the drywall under the shelf for turning something as debilitating as having a dysfunctional nervous system into something that can be cured with bath salts and detox tea.

[ID: comment reading "I have epilepsy went to see it yesterday and covered my eyes too late and had a seizure and all I could think was why are we STILL not putting strobe warnings on movies..." /end ID]

To be specific [spoiler warning for Wake Up Dead Man] there is a scene in the rain, the priest will slip on mud, run into the woods, and a fist will knock him out. Close your eyes immediately when you see the fist. Don't open again until you start hearing conversations.

Sharing for the plot specifics which makes it a bit easier for people who are watching compared to tracking the timings

no context wake up dead man spoilers

Okay, okay, Knives Out trilogy has some mind blowing mystery of course. But the message? The message each movie gives makes it much more than just a detective movie that just gives you suspense and thrill and the ache to solve the mystery with Benoit.

At the core of all the three movies, choosing to be kind has been the fundamental personality of the people Benoit stuck to just to solve the case while also at the end, reassures and appreciates them for their beliefs and values

(minor spoilers) One thing I loved about Wake Up Dead Man was that there was no reconciliation between Jud and Blanc. They both respected each other, sure, and they definetly parted on good terms, but at no point did either of them yield in their beliefs (or non-beliefs, as it were). Blanc was completely allowed to deny any reverence or faith in the church, but Jud's faith and the work he was doing was treated very respectfully and given its due weight. It was just really nice to see that balance, especially in a movie that is directly about the Catholic Church and what it means to have grace.

genuinely need a hundred video essays about the lighting in wake up dead man bc WOW. the lighting was a character itself.

[box-dwelling]

I'm gonna just be basking in wake up dead man for a while and I'm sure I'll have more thoughts but good on them for doing such a moving story about religion and what it can mean to people and how it can be exploited and abuse but also heal while staying steadfast in the fact that Blanc is not religious. Because if there's one thing that old southern queen isn't, its fucking catholic

I do love the phrase executive dysfunction bc the image it conjures is of a bunch of people wearing business suits around a long oval conference table  arguing with each other to the point where they’re getting into physical fights, but in the background there’s just a big empty whiteboard with a To Do list with one item on it and that item is “take shower”
