When he is saved by an overly optimistic anthropologist that demands his help in finding a fairytale, Trevor realizes this might be the only chance to clear his family's name.

WWX will do anything but realize LWJ is in love with him

Can't quite cope with how much this looks like me and my dad

If WWX wrote a book, it would be a twenty volume extremely over the top and surprisingly non-explicit love story where the protagonist falls into a coma twice and the main love interest has to hide from their evil look alike cousin by faking his death in pt. 13. He'd start out writing it "ironically" and then end up getting unexpectedly invested, lose a couple of plotlines in the process and make up for it by adding so many dramatic twists a reveals that no one can keep up. His pen name would either be a pun or something so over the top and ridiculous, everyone immediately recognizes it's him.

If LWJ wrote a book, it would be highly explicit noncon smut under the pen name Wangji. No one would ever even guess it's him.

utilising the gift of imagination to hallucinate moments of tenderness between fictional people

The last time I played Puck, the director was a huge freak about not letting us wear shoes on stage because it would "ruin the look", but we all kept eating shit, and instead of just letting us wear skintone dance shoes or something with grip, motherfucker poured Pepsi on the floor so it'd be sticky and we had to schlorp around. I fucking hate you, David.

[saltykingsalty]

Why couldn't this have been a one time I dreamt

[c3rvida3]

Coking the stage (mopping it with diluted soda so it's a little sticky) is a legitimate low-budget tactic for slick floors, but he just poured so much Pepsi on the floors that for about a whole week, it was audible.

Maybe the course of true love would run a little fucking smoother if we didn't have to ford your Pepsi river, DAVID.

[spontaneous-avocado]

I would just quit. Fuck people like that. It's easy to walk away

[c3rvida3]

No it's not. Didn't you read the post? There was dried Pepsi everywhere.

glass onion really was benoit's day off like yeah there was an explosion and he had to run around in the dark while a murderer was carrying a loaded gun but ☝️ helen didn't keep trying to confess to murder

With three movies to compare between, I really appreciate how each Knives Out movie explores justice from a different thematic angle, not based on the murder that was committed but based on the cruelty that led to that murder.

In Knives Out, a compassionate, ethical young woman treats everyone around her with generosity, and the people around her repeatedly try to take advantage of her kindness to force her into losing the fortune that was gifted to her by a dear friend. There, justice means that she keeps the fortune and decides that actually, she doesn't have to be kind and giving to people who've proven themselves assholes.

In Glass Onion, a woman loses her sister to a gang of wealthy, successful people who've sacrificed their principles for the sake of ambition and ego. There, justice means that everyone involved will be made notorious: whatever their other accomplishments, they will forever be known for being complicit in the burning of the most famous painting in history.

In Wake Up Dead Man, the church takes advantage of a young girl's loyalty and faith to place her under a lifelong burden and fill her with guilt, shame, and hatred. Justice means helping her understand what was done to her and the women around her, and giving her compassion so she can find peace.

This is cool because it means the movies contradict each other! The compassionate justice of Wake Up Dead Man would be totally misplaced in Knives Out, and so would the toppling-monuments justice of Glass Onion. And because each movie has something different to say, they all stand on their own and feel fresh.

This is also why Benoit Blanc is the uniting figure but never the protagonist of these movies. He's an agent of legal justice in that he's the detective and it's his job to figure out whodunnit, but the protagonist -- Marta, Andi and now Jud -- is always the character who delivers thematic justice.

[vulnerature]

Truly, truly, TRULY the movies of all time. I don't think I've watched better movies than these

[animentality]

[littlegreen]

the knives out movies are so so important because benoit blanc is a character the current culture fundamentally needed. there was a hole in the hearts of the people in the shape of Detective Guy and the last of the gentlemen sleuths has come to fill it. and he’s gay

[sirgawin]
