Glass Onion	comment	Glass Onion (also known as Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery) is a 2022 murder mystery film directed and written by Rian Johnson. As the subtitle indicates, it is a standalone sequel to Johnson's 2019 film Knives Out.Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig, reprising his role from Knives Out) has been invited to the private Greek island of tech oligarch Miles Bron (Edward Norton) alongside Bron's eclectic and influential friend group, the Disruptors: Connecticut governor and aspiring senator Claire Debella (Kathryn Hahn); macho car/alt-right streamer Duke Cody (Dave Bautista) and his much younger girlfriend Whiskey (Madelyn Cline); controversial supermodel-turned-fashion designer Birdie Jay (Kate Hudson) and her assistant Peg (Jessica Henwick); one of Bron's most prominent employed scientists, Lionel Toussaint (Leslie Odom Jr.); and Bron's estranged former business partner Andi Brand (Janelle MonÃ¡e). The problems? Bron didn't invite Blanc, everyone's motives are not as they seem, and something more complex is afoot.The film was given a one-week theatrical engagement by Netflix from November 22-29, 2022, and was released on the service on December 23. It was also screened at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival.Johnson has confirmed that he is developing a third Benoit Blanc mystery film.Previews: Netflix 2022 Movie Preview (as Knives Out 2), Teaser, Tudum Clip, Official Trailer

Glass Onion / int_10134c97	comment	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety: When Duke gets out of the pool, he immediately pulls out his handgun-which is holstered to his swimsuit-and fires a shot in the air. In Real Life, he'd have been lucky to not have the gun explode in his hand and blow a few fingers off. Guns are not designed to be immersed in water. If they have been, there is a clearing procedure that one must perform before attempting to fire it. The reason is the water cannot be compressed, so any droplets of water in the barrel would basically act as a solid object when the fired round impacted them, possibly rupturing the barrel.note In No Country for Old Men, Moss performs the clearing procedure correctly after he emerges from a river with his gun.

However, while the Disruptors are largely malicious, they were ignorant of the crime and their hostile attitude was mostly out of self-interest.

Glass Onion / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: Miles Bron is a fairly transparent riff on Elon Musk, reflecting the common criticism of Musk stealing the credit for other people's work and attempting to present his wildly impractical and often stupid ideas as genius. According to Edward Norton, he was also intended to send up Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes. Duke Cody, a bald, muscular, "men's rights activist" and social media influencer with a tendency to peddle All-Natural Snake Oil evokes Joe Rogan, with a little Andrew Tate hyper-toxic masculinity thrown in for good measure. Birdie sends up celebrities like Rita Ora and Kim Kardashian who threw in-person parties during the height of lockdown. She also shows up to the dock in Greece wearing a mesh face mask, something Lana Del Rey was criticized for doing in October 2020.

Glass Onion / int_15b2cab3	comment	Tempting Fate: Once the issue of Blanc's unexpected attendance is handwaved away, Miles is absolutely giddy to have a renowned detective for his murder mystery party and boasts that Blanc will be totally stumped by his "next level" mystery plot. Blanc solves the whole thing in seconds before the "murder" can even occur, leaving Miles fuming. Miles decides to secretly break his contract with the Louvre by having a secret button to lower the protective glass that pops up to protect the Mona Lisa if it detects any disturbances nearby, apparently for no other reason than because he's rich enough to rent the painting out and because he simply can. It ends up coming back to bite him after Helen blows his mansion up with the provably explosive Klear crystal. Initially, the protection failsafe worked as intended to protect the painting from the billowing flames around it, but Helen is able to press the button to lower the protective glass, leading to the Mona Lisa getting incinerated, a final nail in Miles's proverbial coffin.

Glass Onion / int_196d2598	comment	Too Good to Be True: Miles hypes up his new product Klear, a clean hydrogen energy source generated from seawater. It's cheap and easy to produce, and his luxurious private estate on the island is already fully powered by it. Unfortunately, as Lionel keeps warning him, it has a very obvious weakness: hydrogen gas leaks out of pipes and is highly flammable. Miles gets the message when the mansion explodes due to a sample of Klear getting tossed into a fire, which ignites the huge amounts of hydrogen gas that are powering the entire island.

Famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma is one of the guests at Birdie's party. He helpfully identifies a fugue, which solves one of the puzzles in Miles' box. Tennis player Serena Williams appears as a coach on retainer for a gym at the Glass Onion which never gets used.

Unfortunately, Whiskey is actually crying because Duke has just been murdered and she "left" his body in a panic.

It's initially introduced as an illustration of Miles Bron's character: he paid a lot of money to borrow it, and he plays fast and loose with the measures intended to protect it because he doesn't like the slight inconvenience of looking at it through a glass case. The security shutter's sensitivity to noise becomes a running gag, and then a plot point. In the final confrontation, his circumvention of the protection measures comes back to bite him, leaving the painting vulnerable to destruction during the explosive failure of the Klear system. The portable butane torch Miles carries to demonstrate the portrait's security and which he uses to destroy the genuine Alpha napkin. Helen takes it moments later to start a bonfire that she ultimately uses to ignite the Klear hydrogen fuel powering Miles' house.

Glass Onion / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: The Alpha fax machines which all use the same number. Lionel faxed Andi's e-mail to Miles, who received the copy in New York. The fax machine on the island also received it, which proves Miles was also aware of the threat. The invitations have a small note on the bottom asking for everyone's dietary restrictions. Which is how Miles knows about Duke's allergy to pineapples. Literally with Duke's pistol, which he fires in the air several times for fun. After murdering Duke, Miles takes his gun and uses it to murder "Andi" (or at least tries to). The napkin on which Miles Bron wrote the original ideas for his company. It was actually written by Andi, and Helen comes to the island to try and find it to prove her sister was the real genius. Miles' one-of-a-kind Porsche which follows him everywhere he goes. He drove it to murder Andi and nearly ran over Duke on his way back. The bottle of Jeremy Renner's hot sauce is used by Blanc and Helen to help fake Helen's death. The tiny chunk of hydrogen-based Klear fuel Miles shows off at the beginning of the party and then tosses to Blanc. Blanc gives it Helen, who uses it as an explosive catalyst to destroy the Glass Onion, proving how dangerous it is in a way that the media can't overlook. Early on, it's mentioned that Helen is wearing flats, which allows her to beat Miles to the Mona Lisa security case's override switch.

In the background, Peg can be seen running by with a fire extinguisher to put out an actual fire. During the puzzle box solve scene, a miniature music box plays as one of the riddles, and Birdie eagerly declares that she'll "Shazam it," a reference to a song-identifying app of that name. While a helpful Yo-Yo Ma comes over to identify the piece, Birdie stands in the background repeatedly yelling for her home assistant to name the song ... only to eventually realize that she's been talking to a lamp. After the first use of the spray can, the camera focuses on Blanc talking with others. Meanwhile, we can hear the sounds of the can going off in the background just before the other guests start coughing and gagging. As Miles says that the Glass Onion isn't just a "rich asshole house", a BigDog can be seen walking by in the background, carrying everyone's luggage. Everyone at the party gets a personalized cocktail glass, except for Peg, who instead gets a red Solo cup. She's later seen in the background elaborately doodling her name on the cup while Andi picks a fight with the rest of the group. After reading the news article on Andi's death, Birdie still mistakes Helen for Andi, making Claire glance at her and shake her head.

Glass Onion / int_2a552d44	type	Recurring Element
Glass Onion / int_2a552d44	comment	Recurring Element: Like Knives Out, the film is Titled After the Song. Once again, Blanc uses a food-based metaphor during The Summation— concentric donuts with enigmatic holes in Knives Out, and a glass onion, a metaphor handed to him by the shape and name of Bron's island complex, in this film. The person Blanc focuses most on is again a woman of color from the working class who he sympathizes and allies with. She also has a peculiar psychosomatic quirk that comes into play— Marta in Knives Out vomited when she told lies, and here, Helen gets very emboldened and quite effective when under the influence of alcohol. Blanc also knows a lot more about the female lead from the start than the audience is aware of— in Knives Out, he sees a spot of blood on Marta that connects her closely to the scene of the crime right as they meet, and in Glass Onion, he has been working with Helen to pretend she is her murdered sister Andi—the crime he is truly there to investigate. Both films' protagonists are established early on by their refusal to play a game by someone else's rules, and win the story by playing by their own. As in Knives Out, an object travels and changes hands over the course of the film to a late payoff. In Knives Out, a baseball from Harlan's study cycled hands until being returned there by Linda, leading her to find the note revealing her husband's infidelity, and here, it's a chunk of Klear fuel which travels and changes hands until Blanc tosses it to Helen as a catalyst with which to blow the Glass Onion. Subverted with one element of direct repetition which ultimately isn't one in truth: Blanc and Bron discuss the fact that Blanc was invited with a puzzle box thar wasn't meant to go to him, ominously mirroring the way he was anonymously invited to the scene of what seemed to be a crime-free incident in Knives Out. It turns out, though, that this was a lie on Blanc's part. The box he received was openly delivered by Helen, the twin sister of the suspiciously-dead Cassandra Brand, and Helen and Blanc recruited each other in turn to investigate the party at Miles' island.

Glass Onion / int_2bdae2ae	type	Awesome, but Impractical
Glass Onion / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: Miles had a glass dock flanked by Banksy statues installed as the only landing point for his personal island. It looks incredible, but it's also a fixed dock only accessible at low tide. His case for the Mona Lisa is a high-tech security system that will slide the glass over it at the slightest hint of a flame, a loud noise, or a phone dinging, but is still ultimately less secure than simply securing the glass over it full-time because he wants to see it without the glass, to the point he installed an override to lower the glass at will. It bites him in the ass when Helen activates the override, exposing the painting to the flames of his burning house. Miles has invented Klear, a clean crystalline fuel that can be derived from common seawater. It also produces extremely flammable hydrogen gas and, as Claire puts it, turns houses into the Hindenburg. Using only fax machines for communication, as well as having all his machines running on the same number, may make Miles seem artsy and unique, but it also makes a walk in the park for prying eyes to glance at his incriminating documents. Which is how Blanc and Helen find out he knew about Andi's E-Mail.

Glass Onion / int_355e858b	comment	Clothing Reflects Personality: How the characters wear their masks when they are meeting on the docks helps establish their character: Lionel wears his professional N95 mask the entire time and tries to avoid social contact, showing that he takes the pandemic seriously and is reasonably considerate of others. Claire's mask covers her mouth but regularly falls off her nose, showing that she's only interested in appearing socially and morally conscious. She's only wearing her mask properly when the public can see her, and is seen adjusting it to cover her nose properly after Blanc addresses her as "Governor", showing her self-consciousness about her performative political image. Birdie wears a mesh mask that looks (and probably functions) more like a veil than a face mask, and immediately tries to initiate a hug regardless of the others' protests, showing that she is much more concerned with how she looks than how protected she is — meanwhile, her responsible assistant, Peg, is wearing a functional face mask and keeps it on the entire time the group is on the dock. Duke doesn't wear a mask at all, and neither does his girlfriend, Whiskey, implying that neither of them believe the virus is a real threat or simply won't be inconvenienced. Blanc wears what appears to be a homemade mask that coordinates with his outfit, reflective of his dandy fashion sense, while also wearing his mask properly and keeping his distance from the others. While we never see Miles wearing a mask, he has one of his employees spray something in the throats of all the guests that supposedly protects them from the virus. With the revelation later on of Miles' stupidity, it shows that he's more interested in flashy stuff that looks cool rather than anything that has been actually tested and proven to work. Helen's first chronological scene shows her properly wearing a disposable surgical mask, emphasizing her propriety and respect for others. The fact that she wears a disposable mask also highlights her modest background compared to the Disruptors. In addition, when she appears as Andi on the dock, she doesn't have a mask because she's already wearing one — taking on Andi's identity.

So did her actress Kate Hudson, who co-founded Fabletics. Jackie Hoffman has a small role as Duke's mother, who acts very similar to Uma Heller, Hoffman's character from another comedic murder mystery. This is not Edward Norton's first film where he keeps stealing everyone else's ideas because he has none of his own. A subtle one: this is not the first time Daniel Craig has been in the crosshairs of an unseen gunman. Helen is even shot in the same place Bond was in Skyfall. In the Spanish dub, Blanc's line about not being Batman is changed to him claiming that he's not James Bond.

The Disruptors also determine that they'll take Helen's side if they have to, knowing full well that he no longer has any power or influence to hold over them, even with their own situations likely not improving during the circumstances too.

Glass Onion / int_41a3e267	comment	Hidden in Plain Sight: What Blanc believes the titular phrase refers to: "glass onion" being something that looks complex but actually has a crystal-clear center. Indeed, despite all the seeming intricacies surrounding the case, the actual solution is dead simple and becomes incredibly obvious once Blanc realizes that the killer — Miles Bron — is much dumber than he appears to be. On a more practical note, this is how Blanc "infiltrates" the party by having Helen pose as Andi; as Blanc observes, he would attract attention if he turned up to a supposedly private party while one of the invited guests is missing, but by having Helen impersonate her sister Blanc's own presence becomes a minor detail, which is "explained" with the idea that someone reset their puzzle box and sent it to Blanc as a joke. The red envelope containing the real napkin was hidden by slipping it into the frame containing the fake napkin. The film actually outright shows Miles putting Duke's gun in the ice bucket, handing him the tainted drink that will kill him, rather than placing it on the table like he later claims, and Duke's phone in his back pocket as he climbs over the table and couch, and again during the 10 o'clock dong. Since they're seemingly innocuous shots in the midst of an increasingly frenzied montagenote because of the angle of the shot, only the top face of the gun can be seen, which is dark, and so is camouflaged against Miles's shirt, most viewers probably won't notice it in the moment.

Between toll roads, security cameras, and red light cameras, the police should be able to easily prove Miles was on the scene shortly after being threatened and that he was one of if not the last person to see Andi alive. Then, while the gunshot might have been harder to prove, fingerprints or DNA might have also pinned him for Helen's attempted murder. The idea that without the napkin, he was obviously going to walk free, is nonsensical. While the movie mentions the police crossed it out as suicide, Andi having just lost everything in court and no obvious sign of struggle being enough to not bother with further investigation, that is a completely absurd assumption to make, making them quite useless in the initial investigation as well.

As far as false disruption, Miles calls himself and his friends "Disruptors" who are fighting the system to change the world, but none of this is real change. Miles is just another tycoon trying to get wealth and fame from innovation, Claire is a politician dishonestly using progressivism to earn votes and willfully greenlighting dangerous plans to get financial support for her campaign, Lionel is spineless against Miles and doesn't fight for his principles early enough, and Birdie and Duke are only "disruptors" against the status quo in the sense that they spout regressive and bigoted opinions in a world they feel is too "woke" and are thus standing for an older status quo. To a lesser degree, there's also the false disruption of ignoring safety regulations and precedents in engineering and technology in the belief that they "hold things back", such as all the issues with Klear. Had Miles died during the explosion, there would probably be comparisons to Stockton Rush as well. As far as wealth fostering injustice, Andi was legally screwed over by Miles and his legal team— by trying to maintain ethical control over her company and halt a reckless plan, she was taken away from her seat of power and with no way to stop it. The idea is also explored with Birdie and Duke, who are the kind of "cancelled" celebrities who are stupid and morally abhorrent enough to never be able to weather controversy and recover their careers without other famous friends and money to revive them again and again—but they have those. True disruption as Miles describes it (progressively breaking through barriers nobody is comfortable with) becomes illustrated with Helen. They cannot achieve justice for the crime in a truly ethical legal manner since the evidence that would save them has been destroyed and there are witnesses who will perjure against them. They ultimately have to achieve vindication in a dubious but genuinely disruptive manner through cutting through the bullshit empire of the private island and going further than anyone else is willing to by blowing up the Glass Onion with the dangerous Klear fuel, while sacrificing a priceless piece of cultural heritage, all to frame the killer as the dangerous idiot he genuinely is. After taking these steps, Helen secures the perjury of the witnesses in her favor, allowing her to achieve justice in an unorthodox but effective manner outside the rules.

Glass Onion / int_62f9d08e	comment	Freeze-Frame Bonus: Claire's campaign posters state that she is an Independent. Blanc's invitation to Miles' party has a bent corner. It was bent when Helen smashed the puzzle box to retrieve it. Blanc plays Among Us early in the film with some celebrity friends. Pausing the film reveals that Angela Lansbury's username is "MSheSolved" while Stephen Sondheim's username is "FleetSt." During the voting round in the same game, Blanc quickly attempts to vote for CrunchyKill (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) prior to being kicked off the ship. In addition, when the voting screen comes up, it can be seen that nobody has died yet — Blanc is so bad at Social Deduction Games that he managed to incriminate himself without doing anything incriminating. The tunnel icon from Brick can be seen scribbled on Derol's surfboard when Helen bursts into his room. After Duke gets an alert on his phone and gets into it with Miles, a brief flash of his phone screen, which is far enough from the camera not to be noticed, shows a photo of Cassandra Brand. As will later be revealed, in that moment, Duke had been alerted to the breaking news of Andi's death by being notified about an article with her obituary, and the first pass of the events obliquely depicts that for the very attentive viewer. When Miles says "inbreathiate", both Peg and Blanc can be seen clocking the malapropism. Peg even looks at Blanc, as if checking whether or not he heard it too.

Glass Onion / int_66ec693b	comment	Diligent Hero, Slothful Villain: Benoit Blanc is a brilliant detective who falls to pieces without a case to solve and is first encountered deeply bored with playing games of Among Us while in lockdown. The Big Bad of the story is Miles Bron, a smug, vacuous, unimaginative Tech Bro who takes great delight in being regarded as a Self-Made Man and a genius even though he owes his success entirely to shameless credit-theft: the company that made him his fortune was effectively stolen from his partner, his innovations were either developed by someone else or half-assed bullshit he conjured up on a whim, his murder mystery and the puzzle boxes used for it were all commissioned, and his greatest work - the miracle fuel Klear - has been rushed through testing despite being volatile to the point of insanity. The murders he commits are so lazily thought-out they're virtually spur-of-the-moment, and Bron even resorts to stealing ideas from Benoit himself in a fantastically slothful attempt to save his own ass. As such, unlike the main villain of the previous film - who was at least Brilliant, but Lazy and could play a good game of Xanatos Speed Chess - this particular bad guy stands out as someone the hard-working Benoit Blanc utterly despises.

Midway through the film, when Helen is deciding whether or not to pretend to be Andi and go to the island in order to discover who killed her sister, she asks Blanc "Do you really think we can get the son of a bitch?" At the end of the film, after Helen has utterly destroyed Miles, she goes to the dock where Blanc is waiting for her, who asks "Did you get the son of a bitch?"

(See also the Sondheim-written The Last of Sheila, which is an influence on this film in particular.) It follows up on a scene from the previous film, where Blanc was humming "Losing My Mind" from the Sondheim-written Follies. Angela Lansbury starred as Amateur Sleuth Jessica Fletcher on Murder, She Wrote and once played another Christie detective, Miss Marple. She also played a suspect and victim in an adaptation of a noted Christie vacation mystery. Like Sondheim, her work had also briefly appeared in the previous film (Marta's mother is seen watching a Spanish-dubbed Murder, She Wrote). She has appeared in many of Sondheim's musicals, including the original casts of Anyone Can Whistle and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Sondheim even helped Johnson secure her appearance after learning he was interested. Natasha Lyonne partnered with director Rian Johnson on Poker Face, a mystery comedy series in production when the film was released. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wrote multiple books about Mycroft Holmes, the older brother of iconic literary detective Sherlock Holmes.

Glass Onion / int_7374ab13	type	Once More, with Clarity
Glass Onion / int_7374ab13	comment	Once More, with Clarity: An extended execution takes up much of the second half of the film. Halfway through the film, we flash back to the beginning and replay many of the earlier scenes, but now with the understanding that "Andi" is really Helen and that she's already working with Blanc to catch a murderer. Many scenes diverge or are expanded on to account for that perspective, and ultimately lead to Blanc solving the case. To really hammer this home, the first half opens with a shot of a hand knocking on a black door, the second half with a shot of a hand knocking on a white one. During The Summation, several scenes of Miles showing the group around the island retreat are shown when Blanc is pointing out how his Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness makes him sound smart and intelligent, but was actually misused in context, and what he was actually said sounded stupid. Likewise, a few moments of him giving incorrect basic facts that anybody would be able to know with even a simple query (such as the name of the stretch of ocean their island is on being the Aegean Sea) are used a proof when Blanc deduces that he's actually a shortsighted idiot who steals the ideas of others to give the illusion of being an eccentric genius. Also subverted on one occasion. Once Miles plants the lie about Duke accidentally picking up Miles' glass instead of his own, the film cuts back to that scene and shows exactly that happening, but later Blanc explicitly calls attention to everyone remembering it that way only when it was said, not because it happened. Both the original shot (easily missed as inconsequential) and the subsequent flashback when Blanc recalls it show Miles Bron placing the glass in Duke's hand. Occurs In-Universe towards the end of The Summation, when Blanc is willing to lend Miles some credibility for his plan to murder Andi (actually Helen) with Duke's gun during the timed darkening of the lights that was originally meant to occur during his murder party, only to then be flabbergasted when he realizes that Miles lifted the entire idea wholesale from himself, when he was earlier warning him about how risky it was to invite a bunch of people with a grudge against him to an isolated island, using said hypothetical situation to underline the risk Miles appeared to be placing him under. It further proves Blanc's point about how unoriginal and stupid Miles actually is past all of his deceptions.

Claire and Duke catch Helen completely off-guard with information she didn't know by telling her they did, attempting to email and call Andi and even trying to visit her house to speak to her, only to get no response (because Andi had been killed). Helen saves face and regains her footing in the ruse by feigning that Andi didn't answer any of it because she didn't trust the Disruptors, and going with this, Helen successfully stuns Claire and Duke by asking if they were coming to check on Andi's welfare, or if they were just coming to prevent her from making good on her threat to Miles' empire. They can't answer.

Glass Onion / int_7febc23b	comment	Establishing Character Moment: The introductory scene highlights the Disruptors' personalities. Claire answers the door and only haphazardly puts her hand over her face despite the fact that the pandemic is still going on. Cut to the inside of her house and it's filled with unmasked staff working on her re-election campaign, showing how little she cares about real issues and how she's mainly focused on political power. Lionel is introduced all alone in a large lab, teleconferencing with various members of Alpha's staff and trying to cover for Miles despite being told how his ideas don't work. It establishes that he takes science seriously, and is aware of Miles' shortcomings. It also foreshadows that Miles is an idiot, given most of his ideas don't make sense and he relies on others to make it happen, and how despite everything the Disruptors won't say 'no' to him. Birdie is shown having a wild party despite the fact that everyone is supposed to still be in quarantine and social distancing, showing that she's a vapid celebrity more interested in personal pleasure than following even the most basic safety guidelines. She's also the one who has to be talked through the clues in the puzzle box the most. Duke is introduced explaining his reasoning for his Men's Rights misogyny but is quickly cowed into silence by his mother, showing how much of his tough guy persona is an act and that he can be easily controlled by those who hold any sort of power over him. Whiskey briefly appears on the stream as well, scantily clad and mocking feminists, before going back behind the camera and checking her phone, clearly bored, which foreshadows her Hidden Depths. After the Disruptors all go through the process of solving the intricate puzzle box, it cuts to Brand, who is just staring at the box. She doesn't even bother to try and solve it. She merely takes a hammer to it and gets the invitation that way. This shows how she doesn't care to play Miles' game and is willing to simply tear something down to win. This also caps off a number of things about Miles - the fact that the boxes are extraordinarily simple, despite their outward complexity. When we are introduced to Benoit Blanc, he is casually playing a game of Among Us with his celebrity friends. While the other Disruptors clearly strive for celebrity, the relationship between Blanc and his friends is more casual and compassionate, reminding us that Blanc is indeed a good person, and while he has a measure of celebrity, it's not important to him. Miles is introduced playing "Blackbird" on the vintage guitar Paul McCartney used to compose the song, all just to impress Birdie. Then he thoughtlessly tosses the instrument aside, likely causing significant damage. This establishes him as being very skilled at impressing others but with a careless streak enabled by his wealth. He also fumbles a chord on "Blackbird", showing he's not as perfect as he may seem. Also worth noting: Paul McCartney is famously left-handed (see any photo of him playing) but the guitar Miles is playing is right-handed, which is the first hint that Miles is nowhere near as knowledgeable as he thinks he is. Miles' "Hourly Dong," which he claims he had composed by Philip Glass, is a fun touch, but it's just an octave, practically the simplest musical idea that can exist (voice-only cameo from Joseph Gordon-Levitt notwithstanding). The Netflix logo noise is empirically more complicated, since it has some drums and a little bit of rhythm. Miles is either Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense, paying for a musical idea that barely counts as an idea; Nouveau Riche obsessed with prestige, paying for the right to use Glass' name; or both.

In fact, the twist about Duke seeing her and Miles getting hot and heavy isn't that he's finding out about it, it's that he asked her to seduce Miles into giving Duke the Alpha News position he wants, tying once again into his macho-man persona being completely fake as he willingly (albeit clearly reluctantly) pimps out his girlfriend and submits to being cuckolded by a man he could physically snap in half.

Glass Onion / int_8797239c	comment	Bait-and-Switch: Miles invites everyone to partake in a murder mystery party game, which looks like it's going to end with an actual murder. Blanc manages to solve the game before it even begins, and it turns out that the real murder took place a week earlier. In the first film, Blanc was anonymously hired to investigate a crime that didn't actually look like a crime from the outset, so when he's mysteriously invited to Miles' party without Miles' knowledge, it looks like there's once again someone on the inside who wants him there because they know a crime is about to go down. It turns out someone did want Blanc there, but unlike the anonymous invitation in the first film, Blanc was in on the plan from the start. Before the flashback sequence, Blanc calls Andi "Helen", and right after "Andi" is shot proclaims that it's time "to find out who killed Cassandra Brand." It seems that he's referring to the person who just shot "Andi" right in front of him on the steps of the Glass Onion. But he's actually talking about the person who killed the real Andi days previously. Oddly enough, they're the same person. Being a wealthy man on a remote island who invited a group of people who each has a valid reason to want him dead, it looks like Miles is going to be the murder victim. Not only does he survive, but he is responsible for the actual murder that is at the center of the mystery. Blanc arrives on the island seemingly truly out of his element and with a more theatrical, showy attitude than he showed in Knives Out. It's chalked up to him going stir-crazy in isolation. He actually is acutely aware of why he's there, and told Helen that he would play up his "Southern hokum" as a way to distract the others from noticing she was posing as Andi.

Glass Onion / int_89434320	comment	Protagonist-Centered Morality: The film treats Helen's destruction of the Mona Lisa — an almost unthinkable act of vandalism under any other circumstances — as a heroic and awesome act to bring down Miles and prevent Klear from harming the public. It does at least acknowledge via Blanc that this is not a strictly legal solution to defeating the villain, but Helen is not presented as angsting about it at all. Klear was also established as being incredibly dangerous and could've caused untold death and destruction. While it is good that it is stopped from being released, it's also only sheer luck that no one is injured or killed when Helen blows up the Glass Onion.

Duke and Whiskey don't wear any at all, Birdie has a sheer mesh that looks fashionable and does absolutely nothing, and Claire has a beige one that slips down her nose; Peg, Blanc, and Lionel, on the other hand, all have secure and well-fitting ones (Blanc color-coordinates his, and Lionel even has a scientific and stylish-looking black P95 mask). Helen as Andi doesn't have a mask, either, but is introduced as arriving separately by car and keeping her distance, signifying not only that she's removed from the others, but also that she's inexperienced in her deception, though not unintelligent.

The guests all have a reason to wish the host harm and then, when the host dies, the rest of the mystery is finding out who-done-it?. This movie instead asks the question "who is dumb enough to actually set up a situation like that?". This is possibly foreshadowing how Miles is an idiot billionaire whose only idea of reasonable thought is something he stole from Benoit Blanc, the one man in the room who has any level of intelligence.

Glass Onion / int_8d0785d5	type	Didn't Think This Through
Glass Onion / int_8d0785d5	comment	Didn't Think This Through: The killer's main trait, as Blanc Lampshades in a scathing "The Reason You Suck" Speech during The Summation, as none of their murderous attempts show any great forethought of the repercussions of killing the target, or how to get away with it. On the flip side, this trait is also why they were able to commit murder in the first place, as none of the victims expected them to resort to it as a first response because of how dumb it would be. Miles killed Andi personally right after they had a drawn-out legal battle, which Blanc notes would have made him the first suspect once her death came to light which is why he initially dismissed him as a suspect. He also showed up to kill her in his custom-made iconic Cool Car, rather than in anything even remotely surreptitious, which allowed Duke to easily recognize his presence at the scene from them passing each other on the road. He kills Duke by slipping him a tainted drink inside his own glass, and passing it off as a murder attempt on him that accidentally got Duke due to Duke accidentally taking Miles' glass, even convincing everybody to misremember events from his convincing telling of his own story. However, he actually killed Duke through an allergic reaction to pineapple juice, something that would have come out in an autopsy, meaning that only Duke would have been negatively affected by the drink. With Miles admitting the glass was his own, and knowing about Duke's allergy beforehand, he as good as admitted that he intentionally killed him. When he stole Duke's phone, he could have easily set it anywhere else during his timed blackout, especially since he was alone. If he did that, Blanc couldn't have casually just taken it out of his back pocket in front of everyone. He appears to avert this with Helen's murder attempt, showing planning and preparation to steal Duke's gun away from him even before he has to kill him, and then adapting his 'panic' during Duke's death into making himself a less convincing suspect when the lights go out on a timed switch, before using the ensuing cover of darkness to shoot Helen in the confusion. However, as Blanc is going through this, he realizes that Miles actually lifted the entire idea wholesale from himself during his offhand comment to Miles when outlining the danger he appeared to be under. If left to his own devices, Helen's attempted murder would have been similarly poorly-thought out. Lionel notes that despite all the effort Miles went through to get Andi's letter containing the proof she was the original mind behind Alpha, and despite the risk it posed to him, he not only kept it, he displayed it openly in his Glass Onion room as well. He's incredulous that it seemingly never occurred to Miles to just burn the napkin in the first place. Duke attempting to blackmail Miles for a position in Alpha News over him murdering Andi. He appears to not realize that untold characters in other murder mysteries have tried to blackmail murderers before him, and the vast majority of them wind up in the ground, and that Miles has already proven to be willing to kill to protect his money. In that moment, he also seems to have forgotten that he's been seeing (who he believes to be) Andi alive and well the entire vacation, which logically should've made her death appear to be a hoax. Even Helen falls prey to this: she asks Blanc to go to the island to find out who killed her sister, but he points out that if a famous detective shows up by himself and starts asking questions about the conspicuously absent Andi, everyone will immediately be on their guard and he won't be able to learn anything from them. To remedy this, he needs Helen to pretend to be Andi and come as well.

Glass Onion / int_916c72b3	type	Rule of Symbolism
Glass Onion / int_916c72b3	comment	Rule of Symbolism: Glass is used physically and metaphorically as a symbol for awe-inspiring creations and utter fragility, paralleling how Miles Bron's tech empire is built on idiotic buzzwords sorted into workable ideas by other people, plus his house and prized objects consist largely of glass that is easy to wreck and how the mystery solution at hand is bleeding obvious and only baffles Blanc and the audience because in these circumstances (a mystery story, a billionaire's party, etc.) an intricate and logical plot would have been expected—they expected a beautifully-wrought sculpture, but found something transparent that shattered instantly with a bit of pushing. Miles' invitation puzzle boxes summarize everything about his character and the film's message. The boxes are showy and full of puzzles, but they're relatively easy to solve and even easier to smash through with brute force, reflecting the hollowness of Miles' tech empire and the film's thesis that one should not be distracted by showmanship or get caught playing someone else's game in the goal of getting to the core of an issue. The boxes also weren't designed by Miles and aren't themed to the recipients' skill sets or histories, making them an impersonal product and not made by Miles at all, showing him to be a weak friend and a figure bereft of creativity who gets by by being ostentatious and parading others' achievements in his name. The Mona Lisa appears in the film as one of Miles' arrogant trophies, and the subject's mysterious qualities are set off against Andi, the most inscrutable person in the cast by that point. Miles describes the painting as being something simple at first glance that surprises you with its depth and shifting character, and the easy-to-grasp resentful Andi is really a whole other character—her sister Helen undercover investigating Andi's death with Blanc, making her mystique well-founded and just as deceptively simple as the painting. Later, in the scene building to Duke's murder, closeups on the Mona Lisa's eyes and smile give her a watchful, knowing presence in the room, paralleling how "Andi" and Blanc are working together and know much more than the audience does. By the end of the film, the painting is destroyed and Helen, impersonating Andi, essentially replaces the Mona Lisa, imitating the figure in the last shot as a woman with many secrets and unusual reasons to smile.

Glass Onion / int_97926168	comment	Rewatch Bonus: When Miles is inviting everyone to the island, he flirts with Whiskey by complimenting her necklace. On the first watch, it just seems like he's making a move on Duke's girl. On a rewatch, you know that this is only the latest of several moves and that the necklace was a gift from Miles. Watching the film a second time confirms that instead of accidentally switching the tainted drink with Duke's as he had claimed, Miles gave Duke the tainted drink on purpose. Likewise, after Miles gives Duke a hug and steals the gun, one can see the gun bulge in the small of Miles' back and Miles throwing Duke's gun into the ice bucket in the cocktail mixing table. And if you listen really carefully, you can even hear the sound of Miles's hand on Duke's gun during said hug. On a second viewing, one can spot both Duke's phone in Miles' back pocket when he hides behind Blanc and a brief shot of Miles holding Duke's gun when walking around the blacked-out hallway. At his home, Miles has the painting "Number 207" by Mark Rothko hanging upside down, another sign of his superficial appreciation for art. One can easily notice Duke actually mentioning that he saw Miles' car driving away from Andi's home before Miles turned it around by mentioning Anderson Cooper. When rewatching the film, eagle-eyed audiences can see Helen tossing the recorder in Birdie's bag and her silhouette through Birdie's hat before she's revealed. Claire ignores a call from her husband after Blanc ruins the murder mystery. A second viewing makes it clear he's calling to tell her about Andi's death. Everyone's surprised at Andi's arrival because of the bad blood that resulted from her split. It's the second time you realize Miles is doubly surprised because she should be dead as far as he's concerned. Blanc can clearly be heard calling Andi "Helen" when she runs into him outside on the patio after the lights went out, and she can be heard to be speaking in a Southern accent when she says "Why would I take Duke's gun?", and "I don't understand," right before the gunshot. As Blanc is disappointedly starting to walk away after Miles burns the napkin, he can be seen in the background reaching into his pocket and stopping just before he walks offscreen: he's discovered the Klear sample and realizes how it can help him and Helen bring Miles to justice.

Blanc repeatedly insults mystery/crime games since their clear simplicity bears no resemblance to real-life crimes.

In real-life multiple people have motives and opportunities, and identifying the true culprit doesn't prove anything.

Glass Onion / int_9dab0a6e	comment	Continuity Nod: Some moments allude to the previous film: Blanc warns Miles that being sent an anonymous invitation to a seemingly uneventful gathering means things are likely to be a lot more serious than they appear, likely something he learned from the culprit inviting him to the Thrombey home in the previous film. One of the glass sculptures in Miles' mansion which gets smashed by Peg later closely resembles the now-iconic knife wheel in Harlan Thrombey's office. When he sees a knife rack with one knife missing, Blanc responds in exasperation. He may well be having flashbacks to the last time we saw him. In Serena Williams' cameo, she is reading Gravity's Rainbow - disproving Blanc's assertion that no one reads it. Several times throughout the movie, characters will toss or hand things to Peg, who is just confused as to what to do with it, echoing the way Richard nonchalantly passed his plate over to Marta as if she were "the help". The first death is seemingly a suicide, like in the first movie. Like in the original, it's suspected the suicide was in fact hiding a murder. Unlike the first movie, this is actually the case.

The intent isn't to make himself seem less intelligent, however, but merely to make it seem as if he's been genuinely dropped into the situation and is excited to be there, drawing attention to himself and giving Helen more leeway to move around as Andi without the others catching onto the ruse.

Even if he spins it as arson that Helen did on her own, he's still culpable for not properly securing the painting and exposing it to the air, the fact that a tiny amount of his fuel became a massive accelerant for a small fire, and his clearly premeditated murder of Duke. Furthermore, his Fair Weather Friends have decided that he's not worth protecting anymore, and make it clear that they're willing to perjure themselves (again) to screw him over.

Miles and Andi were having a drawn-out legal battle over the creator's rights to Alpha at the time of her death. Since Miles the multi-millionaire would be the first suspected of her death in the event of foul play, he's initially ruled out as a suspect, with Blanc and Helen believing one of the Disruptors who were being financed by Miles must have killed her instead to protect their investments. However, as Blanc realizes at the end, Miles merely pretends to be an eccentric genius while leeching off of other peoples' more intelligent ideas, and is actually far stupider than he presents himself to be, meaning he really did kill Andi.

Glass Onion / int_abe75b67	comment	Fair Play Whodunit: Deliberately so on Johnson's part, as he notes in the commentary track. As soon as the existence of Andi's twin sister is revealed, the movie follows the rules and it is technically possible to figure out the perpetrator early. Even before the reveal, you can see several events happen the first time that are later brought directly to the audience's attention in flashbacks, such as the recorder landing in Birdie's bag, Duke's phone vanishing between shots from the table after his murder with Miles in the same shots, and said phone in Miles' back pocket. Duke's murder can be spotted right when it happens by noticing Miles handing him the glass and then later claiming Duke picked it up by accident. Andi's murder can be solved by combining Duke's statement that Miles almost pancaked him with his car at "the road outside An-"-"-derson Cooper's birthday?" and his later words that he almost got pancaked driving to Andi's house. Helen's attempted murder can again be seen prepared on screen - when moving away from Duke after the blackmail attempt, a gun silhouette can be made out under Miles's shirt before he stashes it (barely visible on screen) in the bar. While the movie does hide the fact that Andi was already dead before the start of the movie and Blanc was on the island to investigate her murder, it is heavily foreshadowed that he has an ulterior motive for being there. His first scene is him saying that he needs a real case, not a vacation or a simple mystery game, hinting that whatever brought him to the island must be a real case.

Glass Onion / int_ace24b2c	type	Halfway Plot Switch
Glass Onion / int_ace24b2c	comment	Halfway Plot Switch: The film sets itself up as a murder mystery game hosted by an unlikable billionaire that's all set up to go too real and end with him as a genuine murder victim, including a collateral-damage death from a murder attempt that missed its target. It seems like visiting detective Blanc will prove the wrench in the plan and unpeel the elaborate plot against Miles after being invited anonymously—again. Halfway through the film, after Andi is shot by an unknown assailant, Blanc gathers the crowd to discuss his conclusions. The film then goes back to the scene where Blanc got his box. It's revealed then that the murder investigation Blanc is here for regards something that occurred two weeks before the island trip—Andi died under suspicious circumstances, and her twin sister Helen recruited Blanc, with him asking her to impersonate her sister while keeping the news of her death out of public record for a little while longer. From here, we get a recap of the first half of the film, which is transformed by the frame that Andi is the murder victim being investigated, Helen is the woman we've watched all along, and Blanc was on an entirely different page than the audience had thought. After revealing Helen survived, the film turns to the question of how to achieve justice for Andi after a mystery that proves far less elaborate than the sleuths were prepared for— far from the targeted-billionaire murder-game plot the narrative seemed to be setting up.

Similarly, when the heat of the initial blast starts making its way through the house's HVAC system, Claire can only gasp out a defeated "Hindenburg". And finally, Miles' face clearly says it all when he sees Helen looking at the Mona Lisa in the case he made for it as the mansion goes up in flames, and he realizes just what she's thinking. Then he gets one again as the thing burns, likely knowing he'll be in a deep world of shit for this.

Glass Onion / int_c6d07520	type	Lampshade Hanging
Glass Onion / int_c6d07520	comment	The killer's main trait, as Blanc Lampshades in a scathing "The Reason You Suck" Speech during The Summation, as none of their murderous attempts show any great forethought of the repercussions of killing the target, or how to get away with it. On the flip side, this trait is also why they were able to commit murder in the first place, as none of the victims expected them to resort to it as a first response because of how dumb it would be. Miles killed Andi personally right after they had a drawn-out legal battle, which Blanc notes would have made him the first suspect once her death came to light which is why he initially dismissed him as a suspect. He also showed up to kill her in his custom-made iconic Cool Car, rather than in anything even remotely surreptitious, which allowed Duke to easily recognize his presence at the scene from them passing each other on the road. He kills Duke by slipping him a tainted drink inside his own glass, and passing it off as a murder attempt on him that accidentally got Duke due to Duke accidentally taking Miles' glass, even convincing everybody to misremember events from his convincing telling of his own story. However, he actually killed Duke through an allergic reaction to pineapple juice, something that would have come out in an autopsy, meaning that only Duke would have been negatively affected by the drink. With Miles admitting the glass was his own, and knowing about Duke's allergy beforehand, he as good as admitted that he intentionally killed him. When he stole Duke's phone, he could have easily set it anywhere else during his timed blackout, especially since he was alone. If he did that, Blanc couldn't have casually just taken it out of his back pocket in front of everyone. He appears to avert this with Helen's murder attempt, showing planning and preparation to steal Duke's gun away from him even before he has to kill him, and then adapting his 'panic' during Duke's death into making himself a less convincing suspect when the lights go out on a timed switch, before using the ensuing cover of darkness to shoot Helen in the confusion. However, as Blanc is going through this, he realizes that Miles actually lifted the entire idea wholesale from himself during his offhand comment to Miles when outlining the danger he appeared to be under. If left to his own devices, Helen's attempted murder would have been similarly poorly-thought out. Lionel notes that despite all the effort Miles went through to get Andi's letter containing the proof she was the original mind behind Alpha, and despite the risk it posed to him, he not only kept it, he displayed it openly in his Glass Onion room as well. He's incredulous that it seemingly never occurred to Miles to just burn the napkin in the first place.

Glass Onion / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Blanc telling his celebrity friends that he's going out of his mind without a good case to solve mirrors Sherlock Holmes's complaints about the same problem, though Blanc's method of dealing with it (sitting in his tub for days on end while drinking and playing Among Us with his friends) is marginally less self-destructive than Holmes' habit of shooting up with cocaine when he's bored. Upon seeing a glass icosahedron in Miles' office, Blanc says "My God, it's full of stars!", correctly attributing the line to 2010: The Year We Make Contact rather than 2001: A Space Odyssey. Miles cut Andi entirely out of their billion-dollar tech company, which Lionel refers to as him having "Social Networked her ass." Andi has a mug in her house with the Janus Films logo, famous for their collaborations with The Criterion Collection. Fitting, since she's poisoned by someone she thought was her friend, or a two-faced liar.Also, as she's a twin, there are two people with Andi's own face. Miles notes that his murder-mystery weekend's plot was written by Gillian Flynn. Later in the movie, a blackout screen precedes the reveal that a woman the audience thought was dead was actually pulling an elaborate ruse, Ã la Flynn's Gone Girl. Miles also boasts that the designers of his puzzle box "trained under Ricky Jay". This isn't Jay's first association with Rian Johnson — he performed the opening narration for The Brothers Bloom, and was set to appear in Knives Out before his untimely death forced the production to recast him with M. Emmet Walsh. Helen compares the situation to Clue and tries to emulate its "ticking boxes" format by noting which of the suspects has both motive and opportunity to commit the murder. Blanc, who has a negative opinion of the game, reminds her that real crime is not so simple, and is proven right when everyone is shown to have had motive and opportunity. There are one or two nods to the movie Clue also: As in that film, the majority of the characters are prominent, morally corrupted people summoned by a person who financially controls them, in order to solve his "murder"; Midway through both films, a sudden blackout causes confusion and the characters spread out, providing an opportunity for a new murder; In both films, at least one murder is carried out by a mysterious person identifiable only by a black leather glove; In both films, a prominent glass set piece is shattered to dramatic effect; As in Knives Out, the end credits follow the lead of Clue, displaying an illustrated card of each prominent character that flips over to reveal the actor's name. Like the previous Benoit Blanc story, Knives Out, the setup is reminiscent of a Agatha Christie mystery, this time mirroring And Then There Were None. Both Blanc stories also parallel with Murder on the Orient Express in giving every possible suspect a solid motivation and opportunity for the murder. There's even a bait-and-switch in this movie where Miles Bron is set up to be an unlikeable monster a la Samuel Ratchett, the murder victim of Orient Express, leading certain mystery-savvy audience members to believe one or more of the other "Disruptors" would end up killing him. There are also similarities with A Murder Is Announced, with Helen sharing part of Charlotte Blacklock's character arc: taking on the persona of her deceased sister, a successful businesswoman. The very method of the crime, which includes the murderer deliberately poisoning his own drink, then swapping it with the victim's to make it seem like the culprit was the intended target appears in a couple of Christie's works, notably The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side. It also mirrors the setting of the film adaptation of Evil Under the Sun, a luxury vacation spot on an isolated island somewhere in the Mediterranean. In the flashback of how the Disruptors all met each other, Miles is dressed identically (including his haircut) to Frank T.J. Mackey in Magnolia. One of the glass statues that's broken in the climax resembles the Maltese Falcon. Miles cues up David Bowie's "Star" and "Starman" during the after-dinner party. Later, when fuming over the destruction of the Glass Onion, he alludes to "Moonage Daydream" by mockingly describing Helen with the line "I'm an alligator." Blanc's invitation has a bent corner, indicating it was actually Andi/Helen's invitation that she bent smashing open the puzzle box to retrieve, which she then passed on to him. In the film The Last of Sheila, which this film was inspired by, one of the key elements of the mystery game in that film were secret clue cards that were shared among the partygoers. In the final sequence, one of the clues that James Mason (Philip) uses to reveal Richard Benjamin (Tom) is the killer of two people, is the fact that he started to crumple and bend his clue card to throw it away, then retyped a new clue card that he didn't bend in order to convince one character that the game they were playing was set up to reveal she killed "Sheila", when in actuality, the game was just a game. Both films feature bent cards that later turn out to be a huge reveal to the solution of the mystery, and both are clearly telegraphed to observant audience members, but largely go unnoticed until a Rewatch Bonus. When Helen meets with Blanc, she says that she googled "World's Greatest Detective" to find him. Blanc recognizes the phrase, and specifically notes that he is not Batman.

Glass Onion / int_ce6555f0	comment	Lighter and Softer: Although both movies are rather lighthearted, Glass Onion is a tad bit lighter than its predecessor: it leans a lot more into humor (see Denser and Wackier above), delves significantly less into real-world issues such as anti-immigrant sentiment, and Miles is a far less intimidating villain than Ransom. While the scenes leading up to Duke's death and Helen's fakeout death are very tense, there aren't any outright disturbing scenes like Fran's death in the first movie. This is even reflected in both movies' settings, with Knives Out taking place in a dimly lit mansion filled with Uncanny Valley dolls, while Glass Onion is in a brightly lit, futuristic mansion on an island paradise.

Derol has no relation at all to the murders, either of Duke or of the real Cassandra Brand previously; Helen-as-Andi finds him while searching the rooms, and he appears at the end of the movie with Blanc watching the Glass Onion blow up, but ultimately, he's not related to the mystery at all. Blanc is delivered a box. Of the five known to exist, Andi smashed hers, so one of the four Disruptors must be responsible for involving him. Nope, his invitation is Andi's, which was smashed by and given to him by Helen as part of their gambit. During the pool scene, Peg plays with a butterfly knife while talking to Birdie. It has nothing to do with the plot and never appears again. There is one specific shot shortly before Duke's death (and the reveal that his gun that he always wears on his front waist is missing) where Claire noticeably bumps into Duke that doesn't seem to contribute anything, but after the spoiler may make you think she took the gun before he died. In reality, she really did just bump into him, and Miles was the one who took the gun. After the lights go out, Blanc searches the kitchen and finds that a knife is missing from its holder. This doesn't actually come into play later, as Miles uses Duke's gun to try to kill Helen. Birdie simply grabbed it for protection and drops it when "Andi's" body is discovered, after which it is never seen again. The high-tech security system on the Mona Lisa snaps shut at the slightest disturbance, even a phone getting a push notification. It seems like an easily manipulatable guillotine could find use in a murder mystery, with the added bonus of Monumental Damage in an artful spray of blood across the most famous painting in history. Nothing remotely like this happens.

Glass Onion / int_f360fc33	comment	Dumbass Has a Point: Early in the movie, Miles gives a big speech about how most people will cheer on the disruption of the status quo early on, but when people begin to cause major disruptions and push things to the brink, most will back off, as they aren't comfortable with truly breaking everything. Thus, it takes a very particular person to truly break the status quo, which makes him and his friends special. Despite the fact that he is by and large an idiot who coasts off the success of others, we see that this at least is true at the end. When Helen starts breaking Miles' glass sculptures, seemingly out of petty anger over losing the only evidence capable of putting Miles away for her sister's murder, the others there cheer her on and even start destroying some sculptures themselves as none of them particularly like Miles. But as Helen's rampage continues, they start getting more and more uncomfortable with the chaos, particularly when she starts a bonfire with all the alcohol, and none of them are on board when they realize she plans to use some Klear to blow the building up. Despite calling themselves Disruptors, when push comes to shove, they're not actually willing to change the status quo. This happens again at the end of the movie. Miles burns the original napkin that proves Andi came up with the idea for Alpha, and gloats that there's no way they can bring him down now since they no longer have any hard evidence, and even in court, it'll be his word against Helen's, and all the Disruptors will have his back.

Conversely, main protagonist Helen has little patience for these 'games' and prefers the inelegant, but effective method of solving her problems.

It's only when the operator repeats that word over and over that Lionel realizes the first captain was just calling the dock a "piece of shit." Blanc tries to have a thoughtful smoke in a secluded corner of the mansion's grounds, only for an alarm to go off and an automated voice to inform him that this is a non-smoking area. The alarm is heard again at the end of the film as the mansion burns down. Blanc asks if there will be a prize for solving the murder mystery, like an iPad. After Blanc solves the actual crime, Miles snarks that he can have an iPad Pro. After learning that Klear gives off hydrogen gas, Claire panics at the thought that the energy system she just endorsed could turn every house powered by it into the Hindenburg. Shortly before Miles' Klear-powered mansion blows up, she dejectedly mutters "Hindenburg". Brand refers to the Disruptors who sided with Miles when he stole the company as "the Shitheads". At the end of the movie, when they finally have enough and turn on him, Miles calls them "shitheads" himself. One going back to the first film. Serena Williams is seen reading Gravity's Rainbow, which Blanc mentioned in the first film to say no one has ever read it.

Glass Onion / int_fe4f1d06	comment	Rich Recluse's Realm: The bulk of the film is set on Miles Bron's private island off the coast of Greece, which includes a fantastical Banksy-designed dock, lush gardens with automated anti-smoke warnings, robotic servants for carrying luggage, and his palatial mansion, the Glass Onion. For good measure, Miles enjoys his privacy on the island so much that there's no phones - only an outdated fax machine.
