After its short theatrical release at the end of November, Glass Onion: Takes the mystery out of the cutlery It premiered to Netflix subscribers this past weekend. Writer/director Rian Johnson has reteamed with Daniel Craig to make another mystery that includes a colorful cast of characters for detective Benoit Blanc to solve. like the previous one, glass onion It received a lot of positive reviews, but Johnson shared that there was a specific reason he was “displeased” with it Take out the knives sequel.
In fact, the best term for glass onionrelationship with Take out the knives It’s going to be a “follow-up,” because aside from Benoit Blanc remaining the main protagonist, this is a standalone story that could easily be enjoyed by people who haven’t seen the first movie. To this end, during his conversation with Atlantic OceanRian Johnson talked about how upset he was about it Puzzle brings out the knives It was put on glass onionsubtitle says:
I tried so hard to make it self sufficient. Honestly, I’m annoyed that there’s A Knives Out Mystery in the title. you know? I just want it to be called Glass Onion. I get it, and I want everyone who loved the first movie to know that this is the next in the series, but also, the whole appeal for me is that it’s a new novel on the shelf every time. But there is the appeal of A Thousand Suns to its sequential storytelling.
On the one hand, as Rian Johnson pointed out, I understand why Netflix decided to include Puzzle brings out the knivesas hearing glass onion Alone it may not be enough to tell some people that this is another story starring Benoit Blanc. On the other hand, Johnson has repeatedly said how the works of Agatha Christie, specifically The Adventures of Hercule Poirot, inspired his submission. Take out the knives And the glass onionEach of these stories had their own separate titles. Perhaps a nice middle ground would have been The Glass Onion: A Benoit Blanc Enigmabut then you run into people who can’t immediately remember the name of Daniel Craig’s character.
While it would be nice if Netflix dropped the subtitle when the time came knives out 3 All together, considering how Rian Johnson feels about it, it most likely will be Puzzle brings out the knives It will be kept for three times as long. The important thing to remember is that Johnson will continue to make these films as standalone affairs. If you’re looking for any kind of series featuring Benoit Blanc, this isn’t the movie series for you. However, considering how much chatter there was about a certain cameo glass onionI wouldn’t mind seeing that guy come back knives out 3.
