as hard as it may seem to believe, just because a film has Janelle Monae in it doesn’t mean it’s a deep and meaningful film that’s deconstructing modern society. Glass Onion can just be a fun silly murder mystery with exciting little twists that says “Elon Musk is an idiot” and nothing more in the “theme and message” section, and I think that’s fine. but yes Janelle Monae is in it which elevates it to Film That Has Janelle Monae In It

#my mom came to me and said 'do you know who stephen colbert is' and i was like 'yes obviously'#and she said 'he just interviewed that girl you like. joan something'#and i knew immediately that that translated to janelle monae lol and i figure she's promoting glass onion #anyway people who are like 'glass onion doesn't cut deep enough with its message' like as if this is shocking #yeah and mamma mia didn't comment gracefully enough on the deep tragic pain of not knowing your father. like...#'anti-capitalist media produced in a way that benefits capitalism' like... true... and that's depressing #but if you're going to watch something on netflix then yeah it's going to 'benefit capitalism' in some way #if you go to netflix for a scathing destruction of the system we live under. honey you will be disappointed #idk i've seen basically two takes on this film which are 'wow!!! capitalism DESTROYED' or 'didn't try hard enough to destroy capitalism'#(and the third take which was whatever ben shapiro said)#and it's like. capitalism not destroyed. instead fun afternoon was had thanks to a fun movie #anyway just like. watch dirty computer instead if you want to see systems destroyed by janelle monae #sorry for ranting i've been thinking about this bc i keep seeing glass onion hot takes everywhere #glass onion #janelle monae #written by me
