In KnivesOut and GlassOnion, Benoit Blanc solves the mystery, but Marta and Helen bring justice.
Rian Johnson's Knives Out and its new sequel, Glass Onion, have both breathed new life into the mystery genre. The films manage to capture the feel of a classic Agatha Christie detective story while maintaining their own modern flair. Our detective Benoit Blanc and his eccentric yet empathetic approach to mystery-solving play a big part in this.
'Knives Out's Marta Is Our Point-of-View Character Marta is a good person and a good nurse. This is an essential truth of her character. It’s what puts her in the unique position of being the only person who can really shed light on the truth of Harlan’s death in the first film. She’s Harlan’s caretaker and his only real friend, the only person who seems to care for him without expecting anything in return.
Helen is electric not just due to Janelle Monáe’s performance but because of the raging fire that keeps her going. She doesn’t want to see the so-called “disruptors” burn for her own satisfaction, she comes into her own while working with Blanc and turns out to be quite good at the whole espionage thing. When Helen comes to Benoit Blanc for help, she’s timid and scared of the prospect of danger, and rightfully so.
