one thing i have loved from the knives out movies is the way benoit blanc visually changes to fit each narrative. classic noir in the first, beach vacation in the second, and new england gothic in the third. his taste remains consistent across movies, but he makes enough adjustments to his style to blend into each story. i just find it such a nice detail that works so well with the anthology aspect of the series

Rian Johnson was a genius for creating a franchise where the conceit is a Sherlock-Holmes-style detective is paired with a new Watson every movie who is also the film’s heart. It goes such a long way towards making each movie truly its own. I want a billion of these, Rian.

I love how Blanc went from tapping a single note on a piano to hurry the interviews along while remaining a silent and mysterious figure in the background to straight up blasting the phantom of the opera on a church organ to interrupt a murder confession

at its core the knives out trilogy is literally about helping people and being a good person. benoit is a side character in all of them because it's always centred around the main character's struggles with being Good and Kind even when they have every right not to be. kindness always wins. rian johnson the man that you are
