Miles was seen in the movie wearing a black turtleneck and blue jeans, which were Steve Jobs' go-to attire. This once again demonstrates the character's lack of creativity because he wants to be seen as a visionary, intellectual, and successful person.

#2 An onion is the perfect metaphor for the film’s title, Glass Onion.

The title may be interpreted as an onion, but the director also said that the glass represented being hidden in plain sight. Similar to how an onion has multiple layers, Miles' home is full of hidden layers, varied pathways, and secret rooms.

#3 Miles Bron’s costume only proves his lack of originality.

Glass Onion's outfits were made by Jenny Eagan. To illustrate to the viewer that Miles lacks the imagination to develop his own brand or appearance, which means he loves to steal other people's ideas and claim them as his own, exactly like in the corporate world, Ed Norton's character in his movie Magnolia wore Tom Cruise's clothes.

#4 Andi’s full name is an allusion to the Greek myth of Cassandra.

Andi's full name is Cassandra Brand, and the Cassandra in her name refers to the Greek legend of Cassandra (sometimes spelled Kassandra), a prophecy-giver cursed by Apollo so that people wouldn't believe her. Everyone disregarded Andi's warnings that Klear was dangerous despite her warnings.

#5 Birdie Jay’s special mask reveals her true character.

A cast member of Glass Onion, Kate Hudson played Birdie Jay in the movie. Her character arrived at the private island with a metal mesh mask that symbolized how a famous person once wore the same one in a music video and was universally despised. This simply displays Birdie's rebellious aura and demonstrates her ignorance.

#6 Miles’ living room contains an upside-down Rothko painting.

There is a lot of artwork in the movie, but Bron Miles' living room contains a Rothko painting that is turned on its side. It was intended to be upside down because, like his character, Bron is too dimwitted and uninformed to understand and appreciate art.

#7 Glass Onion was inspired by The Beatles’ song.

In order to create a metaphor for something being concealed in plain sight or right under your nose, Glass Onion filmmaker Rian Johnson decided to include the word glass in the title. He then selected a song by The Beatles because he is a big fan of them while searching for the term glass in the music library.

#8 Serena Williams’ special appearance and her book

In Glass Onion, Serena Williams makes a noteworthy cameo. While she waited for someone to request fitness lessons from her, she served as Miles' virtual trainer. She read her book, Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon, out of boredom because no one was asking, but Benoit said in Knives Out that nobody had ever read the book because it was too tough and lengthy.
We all found Glass Onion to be a thrilling experience, and the cast did a fantastic job of portraying each character and making it difficult for us to figure out who was who. The Glass Onion Easter eggs are wonderful; it's exciting and fun to see how much care the movie's producers paid to minute elements that even we fans had trouble spotting. Here are some additional techniques you can use to hone your sleuthing abilities.
