is a great example of this so JJ Abrams when he made the force awakens essentially said hey we don't know who Ray's parents are but I promise it's got a very interesting answer oh I wonder what's in this mystery books oh it's gonna be a big reveal later on down the line and even though JJ Abrams had no idea what the arcs that mystery even was but still did a pretty damn good job at getting people hyped for this plotline for this mystery thread there was gonna take place in the other films like lots of people speculating like this promise people were interested in seeing it delivered on and then of course we have the moment where kylo Ren just says you remember that incredibly fun mystery that everyone was excited to see resolved yeah yeah yeah there's that the answers mundane yeah the answer is boring your parents were nobodies like when Johnson did that it achieved nothing absolutely nothing except disappointment because it broke a promise made for a thoroughly pointless reason and what I think's brilliant about knives out is how Johnson's clearly learned from this mistake and he's realized just how important it is to keep your promises and what he does that's really cheeky in knives out is he lets you think that he's broken his promises but then subvert Stan says oh just kidding here's the answer that you will want it and it's this very very but fun climax but what is really good about the plot of knives out is how we have that murder mystery plot and then it just fizzles out goes away now we have this entirely new plot of martyr trying to get away with it and this is the best bit because not just that plot were invested in is resolved in the end but the murder mystery plot that we all thought was just dead and buried a promise that Johnson let us all think broken when the movie change genre z' is resurrected and now that second plot of her getting away with it recombines with the initial murder mystery plot as we realize that there's another malicious accurately and in the end every single promise made in all these two plot lines they collide seamlessly to result in a thoroughly cathartic climax when finally we realized it was ransom who did it all and then he gets taken away and it's just such a satisfying climax when it happens I am truly envious to my core of Johnson's achievements with knives out because I couldn't even dream of writing a plot even half as perfect as this one anyway thanks for watching please don't forget to click my link in the description to check out that free audiobook and I'll see you guys next time on the closer look
