Clue is an another mysterious, a mild satire on elite dinner and crime thriller directed by Jonathan Lynn. When I was watching this movie, I could connect Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. There are some movies which makes audience to write or share the review. This movie induced me to write the review because it is quite different from other crime movies. It is similar to Agatha Christie's writing style and Lynn gives a chance to audience to think and analyse throughout the film. This review do not have spoilers.
Nine guests were received a letter from an unknown person for an elite dinner. They do not know each other but in someway they are facing critical situation in their life (Like And Then There Were None). There are series of murders are happening in this film. These people try to find out the real victim by using their little knowledge. It is not an absolutely a thriller film but a suspense film.
It is the mixture of comedy and suspense. This movie is a good example for comedy created by confusion (particularly physical accidents). Another movie with the combination of Shakespearean comedy and comedy of manners (The Restoration Period, William Congreve, The Way of The World). We call this type of comedy as SUNDAR.C LOGIC or SUNDAR.C COMEDY (In South India, the director Sundar.C is the king of making comedy films and he has his own style).
This movie contains multiple theories for a murder which is revealed at last half an hour. It contains three alternate endings. Theories are explained by the character The Butler is a good technique to create a kind of an excitement among the audience. If you want to experience a crime dramatic satire, Clue will be a good choice. Try to watch this film and comment your views on it.
