One thing I noticed about the Benoit Blanc trilogy is that women are the foundation of each film.
In Knives Out, we have Marta Cabrera, the kind and wonderful nurse, but also? Her mom. She does everything for her mom, who was undocumented, but literally did everything she could to raise her daughters. And Marta loves her so much that she wants to save her—but still does the right thing when Fran almost dies
In Glass Onion, Helen does everything just for her sister to get the justice she deserves. And rightfully so. Andi and Helen were both strong and intellectual women that leads the movie’s narrative
In Wake Up Dead Man, yes we’re following a male main character this time, but literally the story would center around the women. From Martha and Grace. Martha who fought with her own beliefs and Grace who abandoned the beliefs she was taught despite it being the same as Martha because she was treated differently
Usually the women in movies would definitely be reduced to roles that would only help the characters in some way or aren’t as important, but we’re seriously seeing such complex and wonderful women in these films and it’s so important that they did
