Knives Out (Rian Johnson)

[Morris Schæffer]

Really good, but explain me 2 things. [

Show Spoiler

The tiny blood splatter on Martha's shoe. She was feet away when Plummer slashed his throat. The knife attack by Evans. I reckon the knifes were fake ones, but we see the blade dissapearing into Martha's chest, followed by a sort of crunching sound.

1) I think we're just supposed to accept that a solitary drop of blood managed to get on her shoe from across the room in the instant that he cut his throat and 2) it's a call back to the line from Thrombley to Ransom that he couldn't tell a real knife from a theatrical one. the knife he grabs is fake (the blade retracts into the handle to simulate a stabbing in a play), I assume it's the one of the only knives that are fake, which makes his inability to distinguish the real from the fake all the more ironic, or maybe just the whole sculpture is fake knives

Thanks for clarifying. [

That drop of blood is a real long shot, not even sure why it needed to be there, as it adds nothing. Sure, Benoit Blanc says he knew she was involved from the moment he saw her shoe, but if he's such a hotshot detective, I suppose the script would be smarter than to basically hand him the suspect on a plate. Then again, there was the dog which conveniently had a piece of the window sill in his maw, although I guess I can forgive that since moments before that, Marta threw that same piece of wood away. And what's a good doggie gonna do?

This kinda annoyed me. I went back and looked at stills of that knife wheel and they look like real knives on there. Like some Bowie style knives that wouldn't retract. And why would some rich guy have a cool knife wheel with only fake knives on it? Which leads me to believe he oh so conveniently grabbed the only fake one that retracts. It's a nice sight gag and gets a laugh but falls apart in my mind if you think about it for more than two seconds. Also, couldn't he now be charged with an additional count of attempted murder for his knife bit? Plus, who the hell stabs someone out of spite in front of a crowd like that? akjdlkncnvoieautoinmcv this fuggin' movie.

This ruled. I loved the jokes, the cast, the whole package. I felt the movie was a bit long, though. Craig's doughtnut spiel is something I want to memorize and quote at work.
