Clue (film) | this is... What is Clue (film)?
"Clue" (eng. Clue , 1985) is a comedy film with elements of a detective thriller, in which the situation characteristic of many detectives is played out: a group of people, a corpse, a giant house and the eternal question "Who is the killer?". Children are encouraged to watch with their parents. The film is based on the board game Cluedo. The concept of the film overlaps with another film, Dinner with Murder (1976), which also starred Eileen Brennan and is also based on this game. nine0007

Plot
1954, New England. The US is under pressure from the government of Senator Joseph Raymond McCarthy.
Six guests arrive at a country Renaissance Gothic mansion by invitation for a social dinner. They are complete strangers to each other and have never met before. They are also unfamiliar with the owner of the house, especially since he signed “Mr. Boddy” in the invitation. In the invitations sent to them, it is indicated that, in order to preserve their anonymity, they should not introduce themselves to the rest by their real names, but use those indicated by each of them in the invitation. And therefore, throughout the film, the guests will only give their fake names, their real names will never be given to the viewer. So, there are six guests in total - three men and three women. The men are Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum and Mr Green. The women are Mrs White, Mrs Peacock and Miss Scarlett. nine0007
When they arrive at the mansion, they are greeted by the butler Wadsworth, the sexy maid Yvette, and the Asian-looking cook Mrs. Ho. Wadsworth tells them that Mr. Boddy is late so they can start dinner without him.
Mr. Boddy arrives at the end of dinner, after which Wadsworth invites everyone invited into the living room and there reveals the true reason why they were all invited to this party. It turns out that all the guests at the moment are subject to blackmail.
- Mrs. White, being a widow, is embroiled in a scandal regarding the mysterious death of her husband, a nuclear physicist who knew the secret of the Hydrogen Bomb.
- Professor Plum, being a psychiatrist, sexually harasses his patients and is a member of the World Health Organization.
- Mrs. Peacock, as the wife of a senator, paid bribes to get her husband to win the election.
- Miss Scarlet owns an illegal brothel in Washington DC.
- Colonel Mustard was a military speculator who made his fortune from black market sales of radio parts stolen from military aircraft. nine0019
- Mr. Green is homosexual, which puts his job at the State Department at risk.
And finally, Wadsworth himself is also a victim of blackmail, as his wife keeps in touch with socialist friends.
However, Mr. Boddy has the most terrible secret, since he is this very extortionist who is blackmailing them. Wadsworth called the guests together to help him turn Mr. Boddy in to the police.
However, Mr. Boddy is a good man. He reminds them that even if he is arrested, nothing can stop him from telling the police their secrets. And so he offers them an alternative. To all six he gives a black box tied with a ribbon. Strange objects are found in each box. Miss Scarlett has a heavy candlestick, Mrs. White has a noose, Mr. Green has a piece of pipe, Colonel Mustard has a wrench, Professor Plum has a pistol, and Mrs. Peacock has a stiletto dagger. Mr. Boddy makes them an offer - with the help of the murder weapons they have just given to everyone, they kill Wadsworth, that is, they get rid of an extra informer of their secrets, and he calmly continues to blackmail them further. Finishing this phrase, Mr. Boddy turns off the light in the room. Further, a whole series of sounds of chaos is heard in the darkness, among which a bright flash and the roar of a pistol shot stand apart.
When the lights are turned on, everyone sees that Mr. Boddy is lying dead on the floor. The guests deny their involvement in his death, and Professor Plum, since the shot sounded from his pistol, claims that in the dark someone tried to snatch his weapon from him and this someone pulled the trigger. nine0007
Then the guests, led by Wadsworth, investigate the house to find out if there is a person in the house besides them who could have killed Mr. Boddy. As they research, the cook and Yvette are killed by an unknown person. Moreover, they kill them with the very weapon that was given to the guests (the cook gets stabbed in the back with a dagger, and the killer throws a noose on Yvette). At first, their deaths seem very strange, since they seem to have nothing to do with any of the invitees. However, over time it will become clear that this is not the case. The situation comes to a head when it is discovered that Mr. Boddy's body, which they left in the living room, is missing. However, after a while they find him, still the same dead, but with a fractured skull (he was hit hard on the head with a candlestick).
Then everyone collects the remaining murder weapons and locks them in the buffet. Wadsworth throws the key to the cupboard into the street. In the meantime, three new people arrive at the mansion in turn, who, at first glance, also seem to be uninvolved in this matter. This is a motorist who got into a small accident and asks for a call from them, a police officer who discovered the car of this same motorist, and the Singing Telegram girl who was called by some unknown person. And these three also share Mr. Boddy's fate. The first to die is a motorist (a wrench falls on him), then a policeman (he is beaten with a piece of pipe), after which - "The Singing Telegram" (they shoot at her as soon as the front door opens in front of her). At the same time, at some point, the heroes discover that the sideboard in which they hid the weapons is open. nine0007
After all this, Wadsworth says that he knows who the killer is and who is behind all this. And so that the guests understand everything, he reconstructs in front of them all the events of this evening: from the movement of the guests to the movement of the killer.
During the reconstruction, the most unexpected plot twists are revealed, and it also turns out that all those people who at first were considered random persons in this story, in fact, are directly related to it. Not to mention the fact that each of them knows one of the invited guests. nine0007
The movie has three endings, which can be referred to as A, B and C. And each of them introduces a different killer.
Contacts
When Wadsworth recounts the events, it turns out that each of the guests was perfectly acquainted with one of the dead.
Yvette - she worked at one time as a call girl in Miss Scarlett's brothel. At other times, she served as Mrs. White's maid and even openly twisted love with her husband, but Mrs. White turned a blind eye to this because, as she herself said, of her nervousness. Yvette also knew Colonel Mustard, who was her client when she worked in a brothel. Mr. Boddy somehow managed to get hold of the negatives where they were filmed together, and he threatened to send photographs from these negatives to the colonel's mother.
nine0007
Cook - it turned out that she once served Mrs. Peacock. At dinner, she blurts out that she really likes the served dish and that she often eats it in restaurants. Meanwhile, none of the rest has ever tried this dish and does not even know what it is called. Wadsworth would later say that this dish is "Monkey Brains", which is very popular in Chinese cuisine, but is rarely served in American restaurants.
Motorist - he served with Colonel Mustard and knew what he got hold of. nine0007
Policeman - Miss Scarlett paid him bribes for covering her brothel.
"Singing Telegram" - She was a patient of Professor Plum and they had an affair that Mr. Boddy found out about.
Reenactment
Wadsworth first explains Mr. Boddy's death. It turned out that then in the dark the killer missed, the bullet only touched the earlobe of Mr. Boddy, who, realizing that his plan had misfired, decided to pretend to be dead so that he could no longer be killed.
Later, when everyone was in the kitchen and examined the corpse of the cook, one of them meanwhile hid in the living room with the candlestick. Mr. Boddy, not noticing the killer, jumped up from the floor and rushed into the corridor, but the killer caught up with him there and hit him with a candlestick. Then he dragged his body to the toilet, where he was later found by Mrs. Peacock.
Wadsworth explains the death of the cook as follows: when they ran to Yvette's cry in the billiard room, one of them ran in a completely different direction - to the kitchen.
Open cupboard and motorist's death: Wadsworth remembers that they locked the gun in the cupboard and he put the key to it in his pocket. The motorist then rings the doorbell. During a conversation with him, they stand in a dense crowd in the doorway. And at this moment one of them discreetly puts Wadsworth's hand in his pocket and switches the buffet key for another, which Wadsworth later throws out into the street.
Having locked the motorist in a room with a telephone, they continue their search, as before, breaking into pairs. The man with the key at some point separates from his partner, opens the cupboard and enters the room to the motorist through a secret passage.
The deaths of Yvette, the policeman and the Singing Telegram are difficult to trace because at that moment one of them knocked out the electric meter and everyone was running around in the dark.
During the reenactment, when Wadsworth gets to the point where the police rang the doorbell, the doorbell rings again. Everyone falls into confusion - this evening three strangers have already entered the house and what is the matter with them now! So Mrs. Peacock, yelling, “Whoever it is, better let them go, otherwise they will be killed too!” rushes to the door and throws it open. On the threshold stands an elderly man in a raincoat and hat, who turns out to be an evangelist. He asks them to "repent in the name of the Kingdom of Heaven, for Armageddon is coming.
" His words seem ridiculous to everyone and therefore they tell him that his information is outdated, since Armageddon has long come in this house. Then he says that they must save their souls, in response to which Mrs. Peacock with the statement "Yes, we would save a life, you pea fool!" slams the door on him. nine0007
The renovation ends with Wadsworth, like one of them before, turning off the lights throughout the house. The scene where he lights it up is the starting scene in all three endings.
Endings
During the theatrical release in the United States, the film was shown with one ending in some theaters, another with another, etc. All three endings were put together when the film was released on video, where silent inserts were inserted in between them with the text from which it followed that the first two endings are only supposed, while the third is real. nine0007
Ending A
Mr. Boddy and the cook were killed by Yvette, who acted on a tip from Miss Scarlett, in whose brothel she previously worked.
In turn, Miss Scarlett killed both Yvette and everyone else, so that now knowing the secrets of the other invitees, she could save her underground business. When Wadsworth voices this version, Miss Scarlett states that he has no proof. Then Wadsworth reminds everyone about the gun that killed the Singing Telegram. He disappeared (before that, he was lying in a pile of rubble from a chandelier, which they accidentally dropped when they discovered the corpse of a motorist) and therefore Wadsworth asks everyone to turn out their pockets. Whoever has a gun is the killer. The gun is found in Miss Scarlett's possession. She points it at Wadsworth, but he says she won't do anything to them because there are no more bullets in the gun. They start arguing about how many times the gun went off that evening. At one point, Wadsworth lunges forward and wrings Miss Scarlett's hands behind her back. Just then, the police burst into the house. It is headed by the same evangelist who turns out to be her boss.
Wadsworth himself is actually an FBI agent. Miss Scarlett asks his forgiveness with a smile for wanting to shoot him, and then Wadsworth pulls the trigger to show that there are no more bullets. A shot is fired and the bullet hits the rope with the chandelier, which immediately collapses to the floor behind the frightened Mustard (the first chandelier also fell behind him). nine0007
Ending B
Mrs. Peacock did all the murders. She did it because Mr. Body could tell them everything about her. When Wadsworth voices this version, Mrs. Peacock states that he has no proof. In response, Wadsworth says that the gun has disappeared and whoever has the gun is the killer. And here Mrs. Peacock takes out a revolver. Wadsworth offers to hide the corpses in the basement and quietly go home. Mrs. Peacock says she will leave first. She leaves, but the police catch her near the car. The rest run out into the street. Wadsworth's boss informs him that Peacock has been arrested. Here Wadsworth says "It's like in a pharmacy, we always shoot at the bull's-eye.
" Mr. Green yells "She was killed?!" and gets slapped by Wadsworth and Mustard. Wadsworth offers fruit and dessert to guests. nine0007
Ending B
The killers are all invited. It turns out that Professor Plum was lying when he said that his gun was pulled out in the dark. He did aim at Mr. Boddy but missed and later finished him off with a candlestick. Mrs. Peacock killed the cook, Mrs. White killed Yvette, Miss Scarlett killed the policeman, Colonel Mustard killed the motorist. When it comes to the Singing Telegram, everyone starts blaming Mr. Green because there is no one else left. Wadsworth again orders to turn out his pockets in search of a pistol and the pistol is found in his own. Wadsworth announces that he killed the Singing Telegram, and that he is not really Wadsworth, but Mr. Boddy himself, and the one Plum killed was his butler. Now Wadsworth-Boddy says that he will continue to blackmail them further, because they actually killed people dangerous to them in front of his eyes.
And then Mr. Green grabs a gun and kills Wadsworth, after which he reveals: in fact, he is an FBI agent. Immediately, the police, led by the evangelist, break into the house. It is also revealed that Green's homosexuality was just a front for him, as evidenced by his last line before the credits, where he says "you're going to go home and sleep with your wife". nine0007

Errors
- In the third ending, it turns out that the killers are all the heroes of the film.
However, of all the killers, only Mrs. White, Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard killed their victims with the weapons that they got "as a gift." They can still be joined by Professor Plum, who at first partially took advantage of the pistol handed to him, but finished off his victim with the candlestick handed to Miss Scarlett. nine0019 - From the third ending it turns out that Yvette killed Mrs. White, but in the film she was at that moment on one of the upper floors, where she was frightened by a toy, in the form of an iron devil on a spring (her scream is heard just when Yvette goes down to the library , where she will be killed, and even turns around at him).
Interesting facts
- The film has three endings.
- The surname "Body" in English means "body". Also, the names of the other characters, being fake, in translation from English mean specific things. So "Scarlett", "Green" and "White" are the colors - "scarlet", "green" and "white".
Plum means plum, Peacock means peacock, Mustard means mustard. nine0019
- When everyone is running towards Yvette screaming in the billiard room, the scream is heard off-screen, not from Yvette Colleen Camp, but from Lesley Ann Warren, who plays Miss Scarlett. Moreover, it was not recorded specifically for this moment, but was borrowed from the scenes where Miss Scarlett screams when they first find the corpse of the cook in the kitchen in the closet, and towards the end they find Wadsworth posing as the corpse there.

How much does Pavel Durov's Telegram actually cost - Secret of the Firm
Pavel Durov estimates his own startup at $3-4 billion. This is not surprising: he has long believed that money is overvalued, and even scattered 5,000-ruble bills from the window of Singer's house as a demonstration of this thesis. But it’s hard to calculate how much normal, non-overvalued money Telegram costs.
For sure, we only know that the founder has no desire to sell the business, and the business has neither significant revenue (monetization is a matter of the future), nor profit. Durov [confessed] (http://fortune.com/telegram-pavel-durov-mobile-world-congress/) in an interview with Fortune that he spends more than $1 million a month on Telegram out of his own pocket. Therefore, it is impossible to evaluate a company on the basis of financial flows, and at least some idea of its price can be obtained only on the basis of the user base. nine0007
The most recent deal in the messaging market is the public offering of shares in Line, a Japanese messaging app run by Korean internet holding company Naver. The application has 220 million users, most of them in East and Southeast Asia. In several large markets, including native Japan and Thailand, the product is the undisputed leader. In addition, Line has real revenue ($1 billion last year) and a monetization model (selling stickers that cost $1-2). After the summer IPO, the capitalization of the messenger rose to $9billion, but by mid-December it dropped to $7.7 billion.
Line has some difficulties. Most of the revenue comes from the Japanese market, which is close to saturation. There are almost no new users - in the year before the IPO, the audience increased by 2%. In addition, not all of them spend money - in March, only 4% of Line users paid for products and services (they bring in billions in revenue). And in the most important thing, Line does not differ from most instant messengers - it is unprofitable. Therefore, it, like any other company in the industry, can be evaluated by the “cost per user”. It turns out that the current transactions are based on an estimate of about $ 35 per head. nine0007
At the beginning of 2014, WhatsApp was bought based on the price of a user of $55, Viber gave its own at $9. The Tango messenger (remember this one?) was priced at about $5 per head — a very small proportion of registered users logged into the app at least once a month.
But all these figures are from the golden age of instant messengers. The times when Facebook, Rakuten or Microsoft bought them are over, now large companies are developing personal assistants and chatbots.
You can even imagine how dim the investment prospects of this business: when Line was going for an IPO for the first time, in 2014, the company valued itself at almost 60% more, despite a much more modest user base and three times less revenue. nine0007
Durov announced in February that the number of Telegram users grew by 70% yoy and exceeded 100 million. At this rate, direct extrapolation would give an estimate of the Telegram user base at 150 million. Given that the growth of the main messengers is slowing down (and Tango, for example , and completely loses the audience), we can proceed from a more conservative estimate of 130 million. How much each of them costs, you can find out for sure only after waiting for the deal, and the creator of Telegram, who still has more than $250 million left after the sale of VKontakte, does not strive.
nine0007
If you count on WhatsApp (as Durov himself prefers, who even a year and a half ago called the figures at $3-4 billion), his company would be worth $7 billion. Compared to Line (which has revenue!) - $4.5 billion. Comparison with Viber would make it possible to claim a figure of $ 1.2 billion. Tango, which is experiencing hard times, is the most modest analogy, a startup with 200 million registered users at the time of the transaction (while only 70 million used the messenger at least once a month) and not a leader market - only $ 650 million. If you estimate future financial flows, it may come out to zero. nine0007
On the side of Telegram is an experienced and successful founder, expertise in secure messaging, an appropriate reputation, still rapid growth and relatively small size, which make the startup a logical target for a takeover - the opportunity to buy the company, according to The Secret, Google considered. But the whole market has sunk so much that even Viber's multipliers don't seem overpriced.
