I haven’t seen anyone point out that the Mona Lisa is also a metaphor for the glass onion. Like the majority of people look at the Mona Lisa and think she’s an enigma, they wonder what she’s thinking. They wonder who she was, what she was thinking. They talk about the layers and the complexities of this woman’s smile when in reality she isn’t a mystery at all.
The Mona Lisa was a commission from a wealthy silk merchant who wanted to celebrate the birth of his second son by having a portrait of his wife be painted by that up and coming artist. Like we know exactly who she was, why she’s smiling, we know who she is. But despite this the air of mystery surrounding the Mona Lisa continues because people love her perceived mystery. They love imagining that there are more layers to her than there really was. And it fits so beautifully.
Yes
everyone is talking about Blanc calling Marta after Glass Onion, but can we imagine him coming home and telling Philip everything.
