“Maybe it all means something” ruminated Ransom Drysdale after contemplating the moments he shared with his grandfather before his death. Rian Johnson’swhodunit is full of moments where you ask your self does that piece of information, does that camera shot, does that costume choice, does that mean something?
I say the film is a whodunit because the film is catapulted into action by the apparent suicide of the patriarch of the family, Harlon Drysdale , but, the film goes from a whodunit, to a howwasitdun, to a whywasitdun, back to a whoddunit. We are taken on this journey by following the most innocent character in the film, Halron’s devoted and compassionate nurse, Marta Cabrera . She only wants to look after the old man who has shown her kindness.
There is the clean-cut Detective Elliot , the cop that is a sycophant of Harlon’s writing, Tropper Wagner , and the mercurial Southern Gentleman Detective Benoit Blanc . The absurdity of Craig’s southern drawl plays well with the absurdity of the action happening around him. The whole film plays out like one of Harlon’s detective stories.
And then we get back to maybe it all means something. Everyone in the film wants money, power, or not have to do to much work except for Marta and Benoit. Marta only wants to do a good job for Harlon and support her mother and Benoit only cares about the truth.
