So far, it’s been pretty established that clothes are unaffected by the invisibility power. It’s pretty terrible – but brings to focus a big problem with the invisibility trope… the issue of whether clothes become invisible. Timmy tries to evade his mother and uses Robby the Robot to make him invisible. In 1957, MGM took a stab at the Invisible Man with The Invisible Boy.
There is an inherent problem here – even with CGI, you still have the challenge of showing action and interaction with his/her surroundings with a character that is unseen! I’m not quite sure if it has ever been done really well, or whether it’s even possible – but the very idea is so compelling, studios keep on trying. While the Universal films were a bit more adept at capturing invisibility, it still comes off as rather fake and clunky. The special effects are horrible – at one point, they just put him in a big suit, hoping he’ll be hidden among the folds. The film also serves to illustrate how intrinsically hard it is to make an Invisible Man movie. However, unlike the Universal comedy, the character goes mad and tries to poison a population’s water supply! With a uniquely Mexican spin, containing strong Catholic overtones, the Invisible Man in this movie believes he’s a spirit messenger of “the highest judge.” It actually follows the same plot as the Abbot & Costello film where the protagonist uses the ability to clear his name. Plus, there's Radhika Apte (Netflix India's most prolific actor) in one of her best roles yet, playing a cop with a twisted sense of humor.The Mexican take on the Invisible Man, El Hombre Que Logró Ser Invisible, was released in 1958. This movie puts the pedal to the metal and never lets up, presenting a rollercoaster ride elevated by some great retro-inspired music. Soon he finds himself involved in a murder pact with two other men who are also being blackmailed by Monica, and things just get crazier from there, with snakes, psychopaths, killer robots, and more. But his perfect life comes crashing down when Monica ( Huma Qureshi), a woman he had an affair with, reveals that she is pregnant with his baby. Rajkummar Rao stars as Jayant Arkhedkar, a rising star in the tech world who's got everything he's ever wanted. That is a shame because this mystery-comedy thriller is by far one of the best movies Netflix has released in 2022. And maybe because of that, movies like Monica, O My Darling often get lost in the mix. When it comes to Indian cinema, it's usually the epics, fantasy films, and classic dramas that get all the attention. As Netflix mysteries go, it doesn't get much better than this. Glass Onion has all the social commentary and deft subversion of expectations that made Knives Out such a success, and you could even say that it outdoes its predecessor with the quality of the story and the production. Chaos ensues soon enough, after the planned mystery derails and a new, real one rears its head. Each of them (and Benoit Blanc) are brought to Bron's luxurious island home for a murder mystery party.
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, a group of friends each receive a strange invitation from their friend, tech billionaire Miles Bron ( Edward Norton). Once again, the film has an ensemble cast, each hiding terrible secrets, and the threat of murder looms over it all. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Rian Johnson's highly anticipated sequel to Knives Out, features the return of Daniel Craig as master sleuth Benoit Blanc and shows him taking on a new case involving a number of high-profile individuals. You've heard the reviews, seen the memes, chances are, you might even know the premise.
