After being quite satisfied with Knives Out, I was finally able to give "Glass Onion" a chance, a film that, beyond being a picturesque sequel to this great Murder Mystery, stands as an organic but unconventional extension to this new "film universe " orchestrated by Rian Johnson.

Considering that the first part (Premiered in 2019) was focused on the death of Harlan Thrombey and on trying to figure out which of his family members had murdered him, logically, it would be redundant to have to visit the same characters again, for this very reason. reason Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, seeks to be based on two elements that could be transferred to a sequel: The immeasurable amount of visual style and the pleasant presence of private detective Benoit Blanc (Played by an excellent Daniel Craig again).

In this way, Glass Onion achieves the impossible, taking advantage of the reputation of a great film to build a much more experimental and uninhibited work, with a much less conventional tone but quite striking.

From the presence of a diverse and varied cast with stars like Edward Norton, Dave Bautista or Kate Hudson, to the use of a paradisiacal location that seems to parody the most ostentatious sectors of American society, each element of Glass Onion complements each other. to deliver an experience that can be disconcerting at first but feels surgically staged by the end.

Placing the events of the film in the midst of the pandemic, Johnson gives us a catarchic story, where the multiple references to aspects of modern pop culture such as Kanye West, Breaking Bad or Among Us, coexist with a solid exploration of the effects that He has a hunger for power in humans.

Perhaps the footage falters a bit when it comes to escalating the conflict, but beyond that, Glass Onion is an excellent film to close out a very strange year.

Luego de quedar bastante satisfecho con Knives Out, finalmente pude darle un chance a "Glass Onion" un filme que más allá de resultar una pintoresca secuela a este grandioso Murder Mistery, se erige cómo una ampliación orgánica pero poco convencional a este nuevo "universo cinematográfico" orquestado por Rian Johnson.

Considerando que la primera parte (Estrenada en 2019) estaba centrada en la muerte de Harlan Thrombey y en tratar de descifrar cuál de los miembros de su familia lo había asesinado, lógicamente, sería redundante tener que visitar a los mismos personajes nuevamente, por esta misma razón Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mistery, busca sustentarse sobre dos elementos que si se podían trasladar a una secuela: La cantidad inmesurable de estilo visual y la agradable presencia del detective privado Benoit Blanc (Interpretado por un excelente Daniel Craig otra vez).

De esta manera Glass Onion consigue lo imposible, aprovechar la reputación de un filme estupendo para construir una obra mucho más experimental y deshinibida, con un tono mucho menos convencional pero bastante llamativa.

Desde la presencia de un cast diverso y variado con estrellas como Edward Norton, Dave Bautista o Kate Hudson, hasta el uso de una locación paradisíaca que parece parodiar a los sectores más ostentosos de la sociedad norteamericana, cada elemento de Glass Onion se complementa entre si para brindar una experiencia que puede resultar desconcertante al principio pero que al final se siente quirúrgicamente organizada.

Ubicando los eventos de la película en medio de la pandemia, Johnson nos entrega una historia catarquica, en dónde las múltiples referencias a aspectos de la cultura pop moderna como Kanye West, Breaking Bad o Among Us, coexisten con una sólida exploración a los efectos que tiene el hambre de poder en los seres humanos.

Quizá el metraje se tambalea un poco al momento de elevar la escala del conflicto, pero más allá de esto Glass Onion es un filme excelente para cerrar un año muy extraño.

    I have just noted it on my watchlist and here comes your review while exploring,the next film I would be watching will be this one. Reading your title I got a view on your overall amazing experience.

    Tendré que verla, veo que muchos la han recomendado. No estaba al 100% seguro pero creo que lo haré esta semana. No he leído nada pero si he visto que muchas personas la recomiendan y creo que es hora de verla.

    La primera película sin duda fue un exitazo, espero lo mismo de esta.

    Gracias por tu post, @richardalexis. ¡Saludos!

    Placing the events of the film in the midst of the pandemic, Johnson gives us a catarchic story, where the multiple references to aspects of modern pop culture such as Kanye West, Breaking Bad or Among Us, coexist with a solid exploration of the effects that He has a hunger for power in humans.

    That's a very interesting take. I actually had to look up what catarchic means. For me, I did not enjoy it as much as Knives Out. The cast felt like a celebrity line-up from Dancing with the Stars. It was obviously intended to take aim at Agatha Christie films, but even the most recent one was much better. For me Johnson sacrificed a lot of story and for a cheap ending that can only be watched once. At first, I enjoyed the ending thinking it was original and well thought-out. Then, I realized, I'd actually seen that ending before in Law and Order. Even then, it's probably been used before that. What was the most original thing about the story turned out to also be a knockoff. In the end, this was a cookie-cutter cheap knock off of other films cut together with pop-culture references (as you pointed out). It's not awful, but I'll never watch it again because it just doesn't have any re-watchability. It's a one-and-done.

    As you say bro, this movie was an incredible way to end the year, it was a perfect finale I think because it's phenomenal and totally fun.

  • @gorayii(77)· 1293d

    Tengo días deseando tener un tiempito libre para verla, me encanto la primera, de hecho la reseñé para esta comunidad. Tengo muchas expectativas, espero que sea más de lo esperado.

    Saludos.

    No he podido verla. Está semana haré todo lo posible. Otro user que la vio comento en Twitter que es muy buena. No voy a leer nada, regreso cuando la vea 😂
