As an article by Andrew Chow at Time magazine said, “By its end, Knives Out has unexpectedly revealed itself to be a razor-sharp parable of a prevailing attitude towards illegal immigrants in America-and one of the most incisive socio-political films released this year.” (Chow) The director, Rian Johnson highlights these social issues through quick-witted dialogue and brilliant literary design, but also with accusatory camera angles and smart cinematography. Also, the film touches on class division and the perception of power by the 1%.
One of the main social issues shown throughout the film is the current political administration’s attitudes toward immigrants, more specifically the treatment of Hispanic people in this country.

However, within the first ten minutes, we learn that this movie isn’t your classic whodunit, it is actually a very clever, entertaining film that (not so) subtly critiques certain ideologies and class structures embedded in American culture. Suspenseful orchestra music and dim-lit rooms set the tone for the mysterious plot of the film. Set in a Victorian gothic-style mansion filled with murder mystery props and statues and paintings that seem to watch your every move. Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie get a modern, comical flair in Knives Out, a film which never takes itself too seriously, but always keeps you guessing.
