"you eat shit! U eat shit!"
I'm a Rian Johnson fan, I've been a fan of Star Wars 8, I've loved Ring. I especially like "Knives Out" now, because Johnson plays another genre, suspense films.
Although Ryan is nominally a fan of Agatha, the unsolved case in the ancient mansion, in this confined space, every suspect has a ghost, but the film does not forget the old Sherlock Holmes, in addition to mentioning Watson, there is also a classic Lines, the game is afoot. This unsolved case is not only a match for Mr. Sloumby, but also Detective Blank. Fortunately, there are kind carers to help. But smart viewers can also see that Marta is a full-fledged femme fatale, with a smirk?, and is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
The individual characters and interesting chemistry in the film are a major attraction, the hypocritical Morris, the money-loving Jack, the spoiled Alex, the fickle daughter, and the child who loves the Internet. Good or not, everyone is drawn to Mr. Sloanby's legacy. They quarrel with each other, become suspicious of each other, and kill each other, making you suspect that these people not only have reason to kill the old gentleman, but also to stab each other. This is really a family corrupted by money and honor, and maybe the old gentleman did something amazing when he saw that.
They were all played by middle-aged actor Michael Shannon or young Katherine Langford. But what stands out most here is that "Peach" Chris Evans contributed a very groundbreaking performance after leaving the US team. This time he really not only gave up justice, swears, and has a rough attitude. He really becomes your most hated and sinister character in the film. I'm glad to see Johnson tap into the bad side of Peach.
Of course, the two most prominent characters, one is our great detective, Mr. Blank, played by the handsome "007" Daniel Craig, who not only has a unique southern accent, but also has a very good reasoning for the whole plot. Lord Marta has very interesting interactions. I really didn't expect to use this sentence again, but Ana de Armas, who plays the heroine Marta, is really indescribably beautiful. I thought it was wonderful, I really doubt she could lie, just resist the urge to vomit.
Johnson not only has a lot of interpretations on the human nature of the film, he also uses a lot of interludes in the film clip, looking back on the night of the crime, including the motives of many characters, so that you can't figure out who the real murderer is at first. Every turn is accompanied by tiny details and questions. The film also has an open interpretation of the real murderer at the end, and you are still thinking about it when you see the end. The details of "Knives Out" still need two brushes to really appreciate it.
Johnson also intersperses the serious reasoning with a lot of dry humor, but at the same time it does not disrupt the narrative structure. In the lines, a lot of strength can be seen to portray the indifference of this family, including the attitude towards immigrants. There may be differences when quarreling, but it involves their own vested interests, which is really cruel like a cold-blooded animal. I know you can also see some political metaphors, but since this is the American Thanksgiving release, I think this is director Johnson telling a broken America through this family. The contradiction is that anyone can sacrifice for vested interests.
I am very willing to recommend "Knives Out" to reasoning fans, script killing fans, and friends who like suspense films. I believe that the film will generate as much discussion as it does today after the screening. This movie also makes me wonder what kind of innovative movies Johnson will make in the future.
