Rian Johnson Breaks Down a Scene From Knives Out And Did He Get Benoit Blanc from a David Bowie Song

I know it might be weird highlighting this video and other videos that have views in the millions. I’ve also found at least I personally have numerous gaps of knowledge of very popular videos. It seems pretty easy to miss the boat on any variety of videos because sometimes that just happens.

So, this video is so great. He talks in detail about a pretty complex scene from Knives Out, where we are first introduced to Chris Evans’ character Ransom.

Johnson is just a delight as he breaks down not crossing the 180 degree rule, little moments the actors brought to the scene, neat tech background details, etc.

It’s just a wonderful video.

ALSO THIS IS SOMETHING I DISCOVERED TODAY WHICH IS PROBABLY NOT A THING AT ALL

You know that David Bowie song “Golden Years”? I was listening to it today and I definitely heard the words “Benoit Blanc”.

Sure the lyrics are supposedly:
In walked luck and you looked in time

But judge for yourself, people! It’s at around the 1:07 mark.

BENOIT BLANC.

I have asked Mr. Johnson but he has not replied yet.
