This time out, Dave Bautista, Kathryn Hahn, Kate Hudson, Janelle Monáe, Edward Norton, and Leslie Odom Jr. are just some of the potential murder victims and suspects whose actions fall under the scrutiny of Daniel Craig’s ace detective Benoit Blanc.

I really loved Knives Out and that movie I feel like is just a really good overall movie. Knives Out had such a great overall ensemble cast and the composition was also fabulous. They talk about the composer of Knives Out that is doing the sequel called Glass Onion as well. I am so excited to see the Glass Onion not only for the composer but also because they have a new ensemble cast. The new ensemble cast is filled with such talented actors so to see them paired with such a talented design and crew will be awesome to see. I really loved how this article focused on the composer, Nathan Johnson and how he powered these films with music. He does an incredible job of telling these characters' stories through music. The article mentions him using music to show their intentions in the plot and why they are doing actions and I find it so interesting.
I absolutely adored Knives out and was extremely excited to see Knives out: Glass Onion. I was a little worried about making a sequel to such a phenomenal movie but after watching it in theaters I must say that the entire team killed it. I am happy they’re taking special attention to the music since I think it added so much to the movie itself. Janelle Monae’s character has a specific music that plays behind her that adds a level of suspense. The entire movie uses sound to add to the characters in a way that makes you feel like you know exactly what they’re thinking. Overall the entire movie was great especially Daniel Craig's performance but also the costumes, the set design, the writing, and everything else behind the scenes. Rian Johnson made another fun movie that adds suspense and humor. I am definitely excited to see it again when it comes out on netflix.
I am just going to come out and say it. I was not a fan of Knives Out. The movie just felt so long and, frankly, kind of boring. I just can not understand what all of the hype was about then and I still do not understand what all the hype is about for the sequel, Glass Onion. I personally have no interest whatsoever in actually watching Glass Onion. I am however, as I have stated multiple times this week, a complete sucker for a process piece. I think that it is cool how the composer for the music for Glass Onion was able to be there while they were filming and was able to create the music for a scene and/or character the night after the filming for that scene happened. I just really like that the music was informed by the filming.
I just watched Glass Onion in theaters. As always, the score did not disappoint.I think one of the best parts about the Knives Out series is the scoring. It always sets the mood perfectly, it always adds so much to every scene that it's in. It becomes part of the movie in a really interesting way. I would say, I didn't notice the scoring quite as much as I did in the first Knives Out movie, but I still noticed it. It was always in the background helping fit the vibe of the moment in a way that I really appreciated. It's always really interesting to me to read about this kind of process work that goes into making stuff like this.It's always really interesting to me to see what a film scorer I didn't mind when making the score for a movie. I think music is often a very subtle, but very powerful way of using nonverbal storytelling to move the story along.
