Knives Out is a total triumph of cinematic technique and narrative! It has a very Old-style narrative angle of the traditional Agatha Christie! But it still follows Hitchcock's suspense gameplay of "there is a time bomb under the stage". At a time when detective reasoning and suspense movies have been ruined, director Ryan Johnson's focus is no longer to present the reasoning process, but to try to use a virtual and real perspective while retaining some necessary details of the reasoning (the characters at the beginning ask questions dialogue part) and superb narrative to shape the audience's emotional identification with the character's motivation, blind and confuse the audience's audio-visual judgment ability, to create a sense of reversal suspense. At the same time, in order to prevent the audience from getting tired of this slightly old-fashioned Rashomon murder case with a lot of investigative and questioning tone, Ryan also added the clichéd humor that he is good at to liven up the overall atmosphere of the movie. Sometimes serious and tense, sometimes humorous and cute, sometimes exaggerated and nonsensical atmosphere, the opposition of characters in the film is both ironic and ironic, which can be described as full of entertainment. Of course, this movie is not perfect and has no flaws. Its biggest problem is that the reduction of the reasoning process makes the case-solving report at the end too logical and lacks the frustration of the deduction being blocked. ", we're just anxiously awaiting its final shot and who actually pulled the trigger.
