Nostalgia, Knives Out and Rian Johnson | Reflective Nostalgia and Storytelling

Rian Johnson's carefully crafted new detective series, Knives Out, really builds on the notion of nostalgia. His stories play with the dimensions of presentation as being different than reality, working purposefully to take the surface of a narrative and transform it to make a different point in its function. Johnson uses classic detective tropes and ideologies to reflect on the art of yearning, and appeals to the nostalgic modern world by showing how the attempt to restore a mythic past is a falsehood.
