The Goths got away with many proclamations, laws, and raises in taxation in the years they had ruled over the land. While they bled their citizens dry, they used the funds to live a lavish life that starkly contrasted that of the everyday Pendite. Beautiful clothes, handmade furniture, the best ingredients for the most luxurious meals. But most of all to fund their army and prepare to conquer more land. The Goths had ambitious dreams of creating one of the most powerful nations in the world. By force. So, they thought little of how their own citizens viewed them. Just as they did the rest of the world. They especially never even considered that the poor, downtrodden Pendites would revolt against them. How could they when they barely had enough to survive?

But, the Goths underestimated the people of Pendula View. Each day, the revolution grew as more and more villages joined. Farmers, carpenters and bards alike became soldiers training to fight. Old laws like how to dress and curfews were broken. Soon, the refusal of goods and services like crops and housekeeping, and even taxes. It was getting harder to suppress what was happening and The Goths were running out of ideas.

Lord Crumplebottom: All I want to know is how I can protect my family. I'm sure it won't be long until the rebels target the wealthy.

Mortimer: Bah! I wouldn't be concerned about that. I have yet to see them even think about such a thing!

Lord Crumplebottom: But they are preparing, so we must be prepared! Your soldiers can only make them fear you so much. It's becoming less effective. Plus, you can't contain them all!

Lord Landgraab: And why not?

Lord Crumplebottom: Because not every poor is a rebel. Some are our farmers and maids and still want to work! We can't keep them from their service. Do you expect us to tend to the crops, chores and the children?

Lord Landgraab: Needn't you worry about my soldiers. They have strict orders and can identify who is and is not apart of this abomination. What we need to focus on is funding more weapons.

Mortimer: More? But we've just acquired a large shipment from Vernick and Viridis! Not to mention Druzar. We cannot ask for more aid. I'm afraid our enemy countries might catch on and begin aiding to the rebels. I'm sure Whitmore, Armorica, Trenton and Pierreland would all love to see us fall.

Lord Landgraab: Afraid? Since when are you afraid, Morty? We must show strength at a time like this! We can't finally start our plan to conquer other nations if all our weapons are tied up in some civil war! Certainly, you can use your connections with Druzar to ask for more.

Mortimer: Absolutely not. My sister may be the Queen, but the more I use her, the weaker I and Pendula View looks in her eyes. And therefore, in the King's. We need to be strategic about using them to our advantage.

Lord Crumplebottom: Did you say civil war? I knew we never should've gotten into this mess in the first place. You've pushed the peasants too far! My poor wife has just been beside herself worrying that the maid will leave her for the rebellion.

Footsteps approaching

Bella angry: That's enough!

The men all gasp

Bella angry: To think men the likes of you help lead this country! You sound no better than a woman with your whining and your inability to come to a resolution.

Lord Crumplebottom nervous: Y- Your Almighty Excellency, I-

Bella: I don't want to hear it! If your wife or others of the ton are so concerned about their help, do something regarding it! I don't care if you have to trap them on your property!

Lord Landgraab nervous: Your Almighty Excellency, there's no need-

Bella: Oh, there is indeed no need! No need for a general to ever question his King! If Mortimer says no more aid, then that is final. Make it work with what you have.

Lord Landgraab: Yes, Your Almighty Excellency.

Bella: You men have one duty and that is to support my husband wholeheartedly! Especially with the ton. All this bickering is nonsensical and is of no use. We must act.

Mortimer: Thank you, my love. What would you suggest?

Bella: Well... as always, I try not to waste a frown on political matters and save that for you men. But it's obvious that what we're doing now isn't working. We can't just sit back and watch them form an army against us. If they want war, we have to give it to them.

Lord Landgraab: But, Your Almighty Excellency, our army is almost ready to move on Sulani. We shouldn't halt our plans for-

Bella: Good, if they're near ready than this will be perfect training. Take out the rebels, then get the army ready to march on Sulani.

Mortimer: A brilliant idea from a brilliant woman.

Bella: You lot make it so much harder than it is. Now, I must get to my stroll. All this thinking is simply not good for a woman! Good day, Gentlemen.

I can’t help but imagine Abismo looking at Scarab in the pickle jar and going “I’d die for him, I’d kill for him. Either way, what bliss.”

this entire meta is basically summed up in that opening scene.

lionel, claire, birdie, and duke working together to play miles’s game and needing each other to get through all of his puzzles to the prize at the center (the prize being more of miles) vs. andi (helen) saying enough is enough and breaking all of his puzzles with force because she’s fucking tired of playing his games.

that’s the entire movie in one scene. that’s the entire fam in one scene.

and the most important part is that miles isn’t even there.

(and also that his gifts are an obvious and blatant distraction from their actual lived in lives - claire’s on zoom for her campaign, and she’s distracted; lionel’s meeting with alpha scientists, and he’s distracted; birdie’s hosting a party (and peg’s trying to keep up with all of her shenanigans), and they’re distracted; duke’s trying to stream for twitch, and he’s distracted. it’s showing how miles literally just drops something in their lives and drags them away from what they are actually doing, their actual passions, and forces them to center their lives on him. even when he isn’t there with them.

you can even get into this with his first interaction with birdie that we see - buying that guitar to show it off for her and then literally throwing it away once the impressive moment is over and birdie running after it.

something doesn’t stop being valuable just because the moment you have use for it is over. it still has value. these people still have value, and you can’t just throw them away. you can’t just throw andi away.)

#musings #glass onion #glass onion spoilers #i have so many and too many thoughts #i want to go see it again i want to analyze i want to parse through #THIS is excellent storytelling #THAT is an excellent opening #because it tells us the entire story #from the beginning #and then plays it out for us again on a larger scale #and asks us whether this family is going to be able to stop playing his games or not #they can even be FUN games #but in the end they're. still. games #and miles doesn't really think they're worth anything

Now with the confidence of his closest friend by his side, William felt as determined as ever to make a change. While his heart wasn't quite set on the risky plan of starting a war with the King, he knew something had to be done.

As he started his day, venturing into town as he's done many days before, he realizes that there is only one option.
