Knives
Out is 2019
American mystery film written, directed, and co-produced by Rian Johnson. This
movie is about Benoit Blanc, role played by Daniel Craig a detective who’s investigating
the death of a wealthy, dysfunctional family. Beside Daniel Craig, the cast consists
of Ana de Armas as Marta Cabrera, Chris Evans as Ransom Drysdale, etc. This movie
premiered at the 2019 Toronto International Film (TIF) on 7th September
2019 and was released in US on 27th November.
The movie is
a delightful story with lots of classic whodunit elements. Whodunit means a
story or play about a murder in which the identity of the murderer is not
revealed until the end. It shows you the mystery that laid out for you. All things
you should do is be more thorough so you didn’t miss anything in the movie. The
movie may look complicated but once you figure it out it will be fun.
The major
conflict in the movie is who killed Harlan Thrombey and why? The most
surprising part is when it revealed the murder. People will think the murderer
is Marta because how she mistook the medication but turns out it was someone
else. Marta is a plan not the mastermind in this story because the mastermind is
someone else who planned to reveal Marta’s mistake. The mastermind knows that
all the wealthy of Thrombey will be handed to Marta and this is why the
mastermind wanted to plan to reveal Marta’s mistake to threatened her this way.
The movie
is good in general such as how they made it looks real by the way they acted.
In addition, the movie has a good storyline which people wouldn’t expect it’s going
to be like that , to have many plot twist is what I meant. Furthermore, the elements
they use such as foreshadowing like how Ransom being the culprit behind the
fire in the evidence building is foreshadowed during Marta and his conversation
over lunch., the suspensions, the surprise, the reveal moment, everything it
makes audiences wonder how the movie going to escalated.
Evidence sometimes lies
and not all evidence pointing to guilt turns out to be evidence pointing to
guilt. Sometimes, a piece of circumstantial evidence is just circumstances that
conspire to make a person look like they have done something illegal when they
have not. For example, Marta assumes she has killed Harlan because she knows
she lost concentration when preparing his medication, and that he died after
this. She concludes that his impending death is her fault, and assumes the
identity of murderer, when in fact, she didn't make a mistake at all. She gave
him the correct medication and played no role in his death.
In conclusion, I’d
like to watch this movie again as it worked my brain to think about the culprit
and the surprise behind it. I suggest to all of you to watch this movie whenever
you have a free time.
