Bond actor doesn’t hold back in his first post-agent film.

“This is clear as day”, Daniel Craig says Detective Benoit Blancina.

“Explain to us, detective,” one of the suspects asks.

He explains for ten minutes how the confusingly simple case was to be solved in the title monster movie Glass Onion: The Knives Out Mystery.

“I expected complexity. I expected intelligence. Riddle. A game. However, that’s not what it’s about,” Blanc warms up.

During the filming, Craig wanted to read the long explanatory texts in their entirety and do what is most important and most difficult for him in the actor’s work: learning the words for the roles.

He has one hand in his pocket as he struts like a Southern rancher. The accent is exaggerated, but so are all aspects of the Netflix success.

Glass Onion it’s just a joke. That’s what the creator of the film is known for.

Rian Johnson made a breakthrough science fiction film as a director-writer Looperillawhere hardly anyone seemed to mind that Joseph Gordon-Levitt doesn’t seem young at all From Bruce Willis. Time jumping is too much fun to waste on details.

Already in Jonson’s first Knives out – detective Daniel Craig played a living Cluedo game piece. In the sequel, which satirizes snobbery, Craig adopts the Comedy Theater Arena performance style.

Netflix invested almost half a billion euros to get the rights to the sequel to two murder mysteries and Craig as part of the deal. The first film was a success in cinemas in 2019, but now the clever meta-detective has been turned into a streaming throw-in.

Fortunately, the southern character’s gestures of wonder stand out even on a cell phone screen.

Daniel Wroughton Craig, 54, has once again become the face that the masses want to watch in movie series.

There’s a reason, why the role of James Bond is refused. The audience no longer sees the actor through Bond glasses. The actress becomes a representative of the brand, a mannequin of shower circles.

Craig’s more than 15-year responsibilities ended with the show that premiered in October of last year No Time to Diehen.

In recent years, he has not filled his calendar with other roles.

Craig already had an escape route from Bond as the laid-back Swede Mikael Blomkvist in 2011, but the film adaptation of the Millennium detectives was limited to one film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

The most cliché way to have artistic credibility is to acquire leading roles Shakespeare’s adaptations of plays. Mel Gibson was punished Deadly weapons of 1990 Hamletwith the movie, Denzel Washington built his own monument to a great interpreter last year The Tragedy of Macbethissa.

Daniel Craig has done it more “authentically”. His Macbeth entered the right stage at New York’s Longacre Theater in the spring.

“I wanted to help Broadway get back on its feet,” he said The Late Night with Stephen Colbertissa in February.

According to estimates, he stayed upright on his own. The New York Timesin according to the critic, Craig was at his best in Macbeth’s physical transformations. Guardian described the “sleazy” Craig as “a man of action and a soldier, even in a silk bathrobe.”

World the actor who made the most successful action films still doesn’t seem to miss the roles of muscle heroes.

Entertainment site Collider asked what forgotten film Craig would like people to see from his own production. He answered: Love Is the Devil: Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon.

Craig played The Painter in the 1998 BBC television film Francis Baconin a lover George Dyeria.

“Movies should challenge and they should make you feel uncomfortable, and this one does both,” he said.

Craig’s mother encouraged him to act as a child. After the youth theater, he studied at the prestigious Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. There he made the first His Macbeth.

“We need actors to kick society in the face every now and then,” Craig said Ellelle in the year 2008.

Traditional Craig, who has prominently represented masculinity in recent years, does not seem to be able to handle the crises of a straight man.

Craig is rumored to star Call Me By Your Namen director Luca Guadagninon in the movie Queer. It’s based on William S. Burroughsin to a homosexual book written in the early 1950s, which could only be published in 1985 due to the themes. In Finnish, the work was published under the name Hämy in the year 2004.

The relationship remains strained, waiting for a deeper description in the upcoming third film.
