it feels weird being this early-
I'm sad the link wasn't loading for me and now I have a feeling 500 ppl have used the link
I tried to watch the reel rejects watch this and Had to turn it off because I can’t watch crying. Shoot me instead please this movie grabs the heart and rips it apart.
there were only 9 vfx artist fro this film
PLEASEEE do Zootopia. I want to see your reaction to it
This movie really said "nothing we do matters so let's love purely regardless of it all" and "when things are scary and confusing we should act with kindness and patience"
Kindness and patience can also get you walked all over
@@yasmineguerin2852 tell me you didn’t understand waymond’s character without telling me you didn’t understand it
@@jefferson4539 I do understand? I'm like him, people have told me multiple times, I'm kind, or too kind. I'll do anything for the ones I love. But doing so has caused many problems, but I'm still kind?
@@yasmineguerin2852 I understand where you coming from, I feel like we should **be kind and patient to OURSELVES, it’ll make the most sense cause kindness for someone else can end up letting yourself down
@@iHongBuns understandable. That's definitely what I need, lmao. Ty!!
Didn’t notice until someone pointed it out on twitter but the bagel and googly eyes are opposites (kinda like a yin and yang) the bagel represents death, meaninglessness, depression etc while the googly eyes (which Waymond spreads across their business) represents hope, love, and the value of time. both are visually inverted versions of the other. truly shows what a masterclass of filmmaking and storytelling this is.
WAIT OMG THE CENTER IS BLACK AND THE SHELL IS WHITE IT'S REVERSED
Yeah, I didn’t pick up on this inverse until I saw it mentioned in another RUclips video and (like with so many things) it was only obvious to me once pointed out. :)
The googly eyes actually represent the meaninglessness of everything and how you should let lose and how everything isnt that deep
Oh my the things in this movie is so well thought through and put together, I think it will discover new things after a second watch.
and there's even another layer on their names, evelyn represents the yin (the darker side) and waymond represents the yang (brighter side)
its crazy good this movie
The way this film OUTDID every other multiverse movie with a relatively small budget and crew 🥺 proof that good writing, creativity and vision can go a looooong way. A win for cinema!
EDIT: and now it’s the most awarded movie ever 🤩 AS IT SHOULD! Actors, directors, editors and crew deserve all the awards. I’m so glad this movie moved as many people as it did
as Bong Joon Ho said "this is cinema"
multiverse of madness, we’re looking at u😭😭😭
@@marysaotome8162 EXACTLY. i can't stress how much i needed scarlet witch to be a jobu tupaki level of scary but also at the same time... tired of everything(???) we dealt with that one with WV but we really needed to delve into this level of thinking with a character... but marvel had to stick to the comics (not in a good way)
@@daeity1 yes! this is how wanda’s character arc in DSMOM should’ve been. i felt like that was what marvel was going for but it was executed poorly.
@@midcredit honestly so true. they did it flawlessly with wandavision but what's wild to me is how people are so willing to negate her grief and tell her that she's this villain that's irredeemable. like it is *slightly* understandable bc she literally went mary sue in the comics, but in the movies... its different because you SEE how much she's gone through.
i honestly don't know. i just wished we had sorcerer armani (what if series joke) and maybe he'd be the one to actually HELP her through the grief.. making her "i open the darkhold" moment to be poetic since while wanda took the darkhold to understand the powers she has to the one who'll stop anyone from being manipulated into using it + becoming another vessel of cthon.
"is this depression?" yes. but also just being alive in the absence of passion or love. this movie captures the natural misery of human condition so perfectly
That hurts 💔
it’s not a natural misery, it is a manufactured misery due to global capitalism
This
It's the depression that comes from the anxiety that comes from living in a normie world with ADHD. This is what it's like. Daniel K figured it out through making this movie.
I was sobbing alone in a theater the first time I saw this movie.. the way they so accurately showed how depression can lead to numbness and apathy with Joy's character. Stephanie Hsu deserves every award. so good
I was exactly the same. I cry at times but never fully sob and never in a cinema before. For me it was the reason you mentioned but also my mom died last year and I struggled with my sexuality for a while too. Their whole dynamic felt so similar to me and mom and just the ending of acceptance and family just shook me to my core. I ran to the bathroom afterwards and cried for 10 minutes straight. All the while, I had cried the last 3rd of the movie. This movie is so special and I'm so happy it exists.
@@melissah9247 the way it makes sooo many of us feel seen 😢that we hide so much of our pain cause of society’s standards (re: patriarchal), it also tells us we have to do so much to stop the cycle for the next gen 😔
@@melissah9247 I'm sorry for the loss of your mom. I get that though, I dealt with my gender identity and pressure from my mom so similar dynamic here too, on top of the mental health themes. I hope it was a cathartic bathroom sob and that you're doing okay.
@@aalllllllexx Thank you, I appreciate your words. That bathroom sob was cathartic, it eased and acknowledged the pain I think, I won't be forgetting the effect that movie had on me any time soon. Very grateful to the Daniels for it. I hope things for you are better now too, kind stranger
sameee omg I sobbed so fucking hard bruh 🖤
“In another life, I would have loved doing laundry and taxes with you” is the most romantic line ever put to film and it makes me cry every time.
I know, the husband is seriously too good for the human race like he literally got STABBED by her and He STILL wanted to protect her even after having been stabbed by a glass shard❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😅
For me the multiverse felt like an allegory to overthinking, which can make anyone feel depressed, or like a rock. I love how this movie has a more positive view on that kind of nihilism.
Originally when Daniel Kwan was beginning to write this script, he wanted Evelyn to have ADHD and make that connect to her overthinking and general feeling of being overwhelmed by everything. In the process he found out he himself had ADHD, and led to really tying in the mental health themes in the final script.
If you like this movie, you would really like The Midnight Library by Matt Haig which explores this concept.
Joy represents Nihilism, and her mom represents Absurdism
I also love that the way for people to reach into another universe and gain a new skill, was to do something so outlandishly silly that most people would avoid doing for fear of being judged. It's a such a cool way to tell people that just having fun and doing something weird can be a good thing and help you find new skillsets or hobbies. Don't worry about what other people think of the things you do, you never know what you'll miss out on if you do
Joy wasn't mad bc she got outed, she got mad bc her mom was doing good in the same position she was when she can't do that and feels depressed and trapped about it. The fact that she told her grandpa that she has a girlfriend was actually such a good thing that it made her see her mom was becoming a better person and being happy and proud of herself and her family overcoming all her traumas, while she wasn't able to do that.
As a queer asian woman with a complicated and tumultuous relationship with my mother and a history with depression, to say this movie made me emotional... is an understatement
god, same. big hugs.
ugh i'm crying after watching this reaction and i haven't even watched the movie yet.
Ask your mom to watch it with you, maybe it could help a little!! Art certainly does magical things. Wishing you the best.
Whew chile this movie must have been a punch to the chest, RIP
It's like 128 hours of therapy condensed into a 2-hour movie
I am a queer woman and.. same. Same, same, same. Never thought there where people like me, like us! I thought I was an outcast and everyone else was living in straight romcoms.. but the more i grow, the more i relate to others and this movie made me realize, i am not going through this alone
Sorry for my rant haha
A fun bit on this. The first real jump Evelyn does to the kung fu universe is literally our universe. It's showing how Michelle Yeoh's actual career developed, going from martial arts into filmmaking.
wish this was true, but no. Michelle was never formally trained in martial arts. She was a ballet dancer.
In the original script, the mom's name was actually supposed to be Michelle, because Michelle Yeoh was the person they envisioned doing the movie. But when Ms. Yeoh read the script, she told the Daniels she wasn't going to do the movie unless they changed the name. She didn't want the audience to think in the back of their minds that the character was supposed to be Michelle Yeoh, she wanted the character to be this plain, ordinary woman whose voice needed to be heard.
@farhanrafi8481 - You are part right but mostly wrong. Yes, she was trained in ballet before an injury ended her career, but her early acting career was entirely based on her being the really hot girl who could fight. Her two biggest early roles were as a Bond girl in Tomorrow Never Dies and in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, two movies where her martial arts abilities were heavily featured and just about all of her roles in her 20’s and early 30’s were roles where she was cast as the hot girl who beat people up.
So yes, that was this universe about twenty years ago.
this movie deserves ALL THE OSCARS. it made me cry over some rocks, man.
EDIT: Best picture, best lead actress, best supporting actor, best supporting actress, best director, and best movie editing. holy shit.
I know right. I find it so weird that I cried over that part. Maybe it's because it was the only peaceful moment in the movie lol.
Tbh I was dehydrated at the end, this movie is perfect it hits hard
GAH SAME!!!
TOTALLY!! a celebration of cinema and what it provokes in people
Every single person who worked on this movie deserves an Oscar. Best Director, Best Actress, Best Caterer, Best Janitor.
it sucks cause Stephanie Hsu (Joy/Jobu Topaki) hasn't been in many films. she's more known for being a broadway actress. so i'm incredibly excited to see her in more films after her roles in Shang Chi and Everything Everywhere All At Once.
queen of be more chill
She's also in the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
@@elbruces she's so charming in Marvelous Mrs Maisel
She was in Shang Chi?! Where? Who was she? lol
@@zackd2852 She was the friend at the beginning and end who used to be "the fun one" !! The one with the boyfriend or fiance (i forgot what stage they're at) but they're at the bar !!
I never thought I'd get as emotional as I did over two rocks but here we are, this movie was a masterpiece 😭
rocks with GOOGLY EYES. like that's so embarrassing
When they tumbled so did I
We are two rocks, that's why
i swear i had snot coming out of my nose during the rock scene 😭
@@caitlinbishop6624 WHY DID WE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE LMAO exactly snot coming out when that scene goes
I really loved the rocks scenes, it was so unexpected but so needed.
Not only because of the change of pace, the silence after the craziness of the multiverse was so comforting, this simple silent world was a break that I really needed. And the fact that such profound words were said written and not spoken, words that perhaps Evelyn couldn’t say out loud..really adds to how powerful it felt…
Best movie of the year for me
that rock scene felt so peaceful
You'll love this bit of trivia: Apparently Michelle Yeoh is the one who came up with the idea of displaying the rock conversation in those big Superscript titles!
I like the rock scene for both the change of pace, but also, a deeper meaning to the philosophy of pre-determinism at the multiversal scale. (i.e., if we exist as people in this and other universes, we (the atoms that make us, us) must also exist in universes where life does not exist)
@EddieMitz - I love your point about our existence across universes as I agree with it completely. If each universe has exactly the same atoms, in universes where life does not exist, we would take different forms - although the question of whether or not we would still be sentient is a much deeper one. Either way, thanks for calling that to my attention as I missed that when I watched the movie.
On a less philosophical note, I think the rock scene was one of the best scenes in the movie as it provided a sense of calm and some really great humor in the middle of so much chaos.
"In another life I would've loved doing laundry and taxes with you" is this movie's version of "what is grief, if not love perservering" 😭😭😭😭
Marvel WISHES bruh
Exept the first line is actually good
@Cannibal Teddy that line doesn't strictly reference her missing vision, it's vague so the audience can interrupt it in their own ways.
Yes!!
@Cannibal Teddy that was literally what that scene was … it was about her missing Pietro not Vision
One detail I like about this film is that one of the directors wanting it to be about a mother with undiagnosed ADHD (hence with her not focusing on the moment and only listening when its urgent and even amplified when she was jumping into different verses). So the director researched about ADHD and that lead him to getting a diagnosis himself
OH MY GOD😭😭😭😭
Yup! And this movie is a really good example of what it's like with ADHD. Every other universe is screaming for your attention all the time.
Her ability to learn new things quickly too and then forget them. It's a big thing with high functioning ADHD to be a skill/knowledge sponge but with difficulty recalling memories.
I felt this way a lot when they had the meeting with Deidre Bagel.
I know this is important, and I really am trying to pay attention.
But my mind is going 1000 miles a minute.
@@greasybumpkin1661is that really what ADHD is ? After looking at this whole thread I might just have to get diagnosed myself just don’t know where tho…
I literally cannot stop smiling watching someone experience this movie for the first time. what a damn ride.
same omg, i made all my friends watch it with me 😭
@@deshaciendome I almost started crying just watching this reaction like goddamn. this movie is a personal attack.
Same made my sister watch it. It’s just such a journey
"How could you abandon me so easily"
This line broke me.
I know there's people out there that haven't made their parents proud for their own pursuit of happiness... That messy feeling of chasing happiness but feeling like you're running away from it too
That final scene always intrigues me - every other instance where Evelyn wasn't paying attention, she blamed the other person she was talking to. In the end, she chooses to take responsibility for who she is by apologizing for her distraction.
To me, she's still have those powers, all the other realities vying for her attention but she's choosing to be in the moment.
@@Arguing.With.Idiots. wow. Underrated comment
Undiagnosed ADHD
@@zitronentee you can choose to see it that way if you must
@@ScottRutter Actually, the directors have said that in the process of creating the character they decided to add ADHD as one of the traits of the character, and in the process of researching about ADHD one of the directors even discovered that he himself had undiagnosed ADHD. So the undiagnosed ADHD angle is backed up by what the directors have said about the movie and the character in interviews.
As an Asian son, this movie just murdered me. What an outstanding movie. Knowing they have a small budget and crew... IT DESERVES MORE.
same dude. same.
It just won 7 Oscars. It got what it deserved. 😁😁😁
The line “You still went looking for me, through all of this noise.” Made me cry in the theater because it reminded me of my mom when she passed. I felt like I saw her everywhere after her passing, through different people and small things in life. I felt like it was because I was looking for her everywhere I go and in everything I do. So yeah that was the line that did it for me. And the music score was great.
I like the perfume scene actually, sometime a small kind gesture meant the world to someone else, if everyone can pay a little attention to everyone around and do some small kind gesture to them, the world would be a much better place to live.
your comment made me cry so much.
How touching
Same. My daddy. I talk about him pretty much all day every day.
That reminds me of an anime I watched, Given. It's about grief and love but otherwise different experience (his bf was in a band and kills himself, and he didn't know he was depressed). He walks down streets with his guitar on him, which he can't play, and stops and stares, remembering memories in those places. Anyways a guitar player of another band in his school comes across him and you don't know all this, you learn it mostly through the guitar player as he teaches him to play guitar. It's beautiful and sometimes hilarious.
I LOOOOVE how you said, "is this camp?" absolutely. Camp is such a refined genre and this film executes it perfectly with the costume changes, absurdness and whacky personas im so glad you made that comment
Oh, this reminds me that I was going to Google how many costume changes Joy went through in this movie!
I know it’s been a year but how many?
So glad you reacted to this. The directors talked about how this movie is based on our exposure to the internet and social media and pretty much how everything, everywhere is available at our fingertips all at once. How it can foster a lot of negative feelings, feelings of inadequacy, and pain and like nothing matters because of how much you are exposed to. They wanted to explore that feeling of being overwhelmed and almost numb, and so if you felt that way throughout the movie, they did their job. It's amazing how they were able to tie in generational trauma, nihilism and existentialism, depression and mental health, and so many other themes into one movie. So glad you enjoyed the movie! Totally felt what you said at the end about wanting to describe how you feel but not having the vocabulary for it lol. I felt the exact same.
That's such a genius way of turning our experience with technology nowadays into a story, I didn't know I could appreciate this movie even more until reading this
i love this movie so much- it was asian representation without overt "asian representation" branding, and it was a lot more subtle in ways that you would see slivers of your culture being shown without it being explained or highlighted like it was a THING and that's all it could ever hold up to. the movie was so creative in ways that every movie WISHED it could be, didn't take itself too seriously but at the same time trusted its audience to be smart enough to understand everything. truly what i missed ab most movies these days.
Exactly this. Real representation here whereas Shang-Chi representation cast a bunch of Asians, dusted off their hands, and patted themselves on the back for a job well-done, and didn't bother delving any deeper. The pressure of churning out movie after movie in phases is really taking a toll on telling real stories and making real art for Marvel. :(
Asian AMERICAN :)
I agree. The movie worked wonderfully with this. Felt like you were being shown an individual family dynamic that fit well into the reasoning behind so many characters’ actions, as opposed to movies out there who having blasting horns and flashing signs like “look at our representation, wOw”
“We can do whatever we want, nothing matters”. This movie explained Optimistic Nihilism to me in a way that changed my outlook in life.
Its said that Waymond is the only character that doesn't change at all. We are the ones who change. WHAT A FILM!
As dramatic as it sounds, I think this might be the best movie I have EVER watched. I know, I know, but no other movie has had such a profound impact on me as this one. I saw it opening week in theaters and then went to watch it two more times the following days. I STILL think about this movie daily since it's release. I can't stop. It's amazing.
Right there with you. I saw this movie once in theatres, then immediately went to see it with my dad. The second it came out on digital I bought it and I’m going to go watch it with my mom next. It became my favorite movie real quick.
Yep, I walked away from it saying it's one of my favorites ever. I still rate a few above it, such as Lord of the Rings, but we can love all our favorite movies for their uniqueness.
Just last night I was thinking “Damn, it’d be incredible if Ashley did a video on Everything Everywhere All At Once.” Girl I am so happy.
Same here!
No kidding, yesterday I said to my husband "how awesome would it be if Ash reacted to EEATO?" and now she posts it, i'm sooo happy tooo
right ? i watched it two days ago and was like i want youtubers to react to it NOW
same
I remember thinking a lot during the movie Evelyn was showing ADHD symptoms, so afterwards I googled it, thinking I'd just find headcanons. Then I found an entire article talking about how one of the writers found out he has ADHD through writing the script!
Yeah, one of the directors specifically wanted to make a movie about a mother with ADHD. And how she only focuses on things when it's very very urgent. And while doing research for the movie and realizing that the symptoms aligned with his own life experience... he went and got a diagnosis for himself lol
"When I choose to see the good side of things, I'm not being naive. It is strategic and necessary. It's how I've learned to survive through everything. I know you see yourself as a fighter. Well, I see myself as one too. This is how I fight."
As someone who smiles and sings and dances while also dealing with depression, childhood trauma, and nihilism, I have never felt more represented that I did as the father in this movie. I see how shit the world is. I choose to be kind. Or at least try to be kind.
BIG same 💜
Yep... the same is expanding.
I really recommend watching ANY videos of Michelle Yeoh talking about this film! The one that gets me is when she talks about how she never felt like she was going to ever be important for a film or "have that role", but when the Daniel's asked her to be apart of it she was so happy that they wanted to show off Yeoh's underrated talent. It had be bawling. She deserves the world and all the awards!
Right?! In the clip I saw Ms. Yeoh was even getting a bit emotional during the interview describing how she finally felt seen in her own multifaceted abilities as an actor.
She delivered the physical humour and comedy, her physical capabilities in the amazing fight sequences, her compelling performance of the poignant drama… she also portrayed a three dimensional character who is definitely flawed but who undergoes the same process as the audience - feeing overwhelmed, trying to understand, losing hope, feeling renewed after her ‘epiphany’, and trying to bring her new compassion world view into her daily life.
As she has us root for her character to ‘pull through’, she also has us unknowingly root for our own transformation… from
1) too busied by the minutiae of daily life to search for meaning
2) too overwhelmed by a sense of meaninglessness and alienation to know how to move forward
3) coming through to the other side acknowledging that the meaninglessness is actually liberty and that we get to make our own meaning.
“I feel like this movie is going to stick with me for a minute.” This perfectly explains how I felt after watching this movie. Somehow it is able to be over the top yet incredibly touching at the same time and it works beautifully. You just can’t forget a movie like this.
The hot dog fingers really mystified me ... but sapphic main characters make me go brrrrr
That line " I wanted to say, in another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you." is so devastating and emotional. It's absurd what happened when I saw this movie opening weekend. The crowd was sobbing.
"In another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you." probably the best line I've heard in my life. It completely ruined me. The writing overall was just phenomenal in this movie.
One of the sayings I'll always remember from an old Chinese medicine man....."Value your plain ordinary life."
I cry every time I watch this movie. As someone who has felt like Evelyn AND Joy but tries to live like Waymond through it all…it was really really really beautiful and emotional for me. A lot of people laugh when Joy is explaining the bagel and she sings “sucked into a bagel” but for me it’s heartbreaking. She’s in so much pain and in such a dark place. What a scene ! And how people counter “even when they have everything, without each other they still aren’t happy” with “Waymond wants to divorce Evelyn” but he actually doesn’t. He just did it to get her attention. To get her to slow down. To talk to her. I love how subtle that is. This movie is all about love. Love that transcends space and time and can truly make a difference if we look at things differently. This is whaat great film making is about !
I think the point of even including the "Multiverse" as a concept was just to visualize the idea of constantly second-guessing every major decision you've ever made. Ultimately, the point is that you CAN'T access those other universes, or "escape" to them, so you should take good care of this one because it's the only one we've got. Treat people with kindness and love, be a good person, but also don't take things TOO seriously. 😭
I don’t think this movie will ever be topped. I couldn’t believe when I found out people didn’t like it. It’s really one of those “if you get it, you get it” things. As a kid, my mom always pushed me so hard until I finally gave up in high school. Psychedelics ended up being an escape for me, but I overdid it with an expectation I wouldn’t be alive in a few years. It sent me into psychosis and this is exactly how it felt. Like I was torn between worlds as my mom tried to pick up the pieces.
I hope you're doing better now and have found healing and love through it all. Psyches have also done a number on me, whether good or bad, they have changed me as much as this movie did.
What’s also frustrating is some of them don’t get it because they’re focusing too hard on the multiverse thing. Like it’s definitely a better experience if you do, but it’s hardly the main takeaway.
as an asian minority myself, this movie truly *broke* me.
i wish i could explain it in words, but it’s really something you have to experience so please, go watch this movie.
as a daughter with a filipino mom, i literally sobbed during this movie 😭
the asian things/culture on this film is hella accurate, i mean the homophobic alone is 💀
Guuuuuuuurl SAME! I was so close to making it to the end… and then they were rocks. And then Joy/Evelyn had their moment. Before I knew it I was sobbing uncontrollably in public on an international flight. 😭
My parents are Mexican, and my mom is a good person ... But says racist things sometimes
So the "Even though she's white" and defaulting to calling someone "Big Nose"- that's accurate!
Again, I get it, different time and country, and it's way more out in the open everywhere else in the world. It always takes me aback when I'm reminding of it
I'm also a bisexual still in the closet for the same reasons 😅
ash i love that you went into this blind, but i’m also praying for you.
talk about a rollercoaster of emotions omg
I took a break from seeing multiverse of madness daily and went in blind and stoned af just like "uh oh im gonna cry again huh" 🤷🏾♂️🥲🤯🤠😭😵💫🤪🤗 girl the first conversation with the daughter already had me bawling wtf is this film
"honey, you got a big storm coming" 😂
I lost my mum last week and I just watched this movie yesterday. Amazing is a understatement. I always blamed my mum for the way she was towards me and my siblings. Without even acknowledging the generation trauma that was impacting me. I see her thru this film. I see how she tried to be there for me. I am just in awe
Ashley!!!! This is literally my favorite movie of the year so far. I didn't expect you'd react to it and I'm so happy. Thank you for this gift, mum
that first scene where Jobu was introduced was amazing beyond words, that clicking and shifting through different dimensions was as easy as changing a radio station for her. The subtle static and clicking sfx, the camera tilt, the transition, the edit oh my lord I could go on and on...
YES 🔥
I went into this movie completely ignorant, didn’t see the trailer or anything, and had the SAME “WTF?” REACTION. I just love how it tackled existential gloom and depression with absurdist humor so you’re never sure whether to laugh or cry (OR BOTH) While also being a comforting reminder that it’s the little moments of happiness that we should never take for granted, no matter how shitty life gets . I definitely recommend revisiting it a second time because when you pick up certain things it’s like WOW
it gets better with each watch and the first watch made it the best movie of the 2020s idk how they managed this 😭
She talked about the mirror and missed its importance as a circle lol
i love how much appreciating the little things matters like evelyn’s relationship with her husband is so special and beautiful and even though it may not work in every universe he’s still there to make a huge impact on her life and ground her. he is the person who loves her for who she is and pushes her to become the best version on herself by literally him just being himself and it so beautiful.
I saw this film in theaters a couple months ago and still have not recovered. There was a point in the film, that I can't remember now, when I was crying and I had absolutely no idea why but I looked over to the stranger on my right and she was crying as well and it just made it... okay. It's cinematically gorgeous. Unique. Imaginative. Funny. Heartfelt. Introspective. It is Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. In every way life is. The humor and absurdity, the pain and the emptiness. The love and the intensity of finding it, losing it, or figuring out how to hold on to it. I'm someone who does unfortunately have "mommy issues", but even more so as someone who suffers with mental illness, I see myself in this film. I've had too many dark days where I thought to myself "nothing matters" and felt it so surely. But it wasn't until I experienced this piece that I saw the light in "nothing matters". If the good doesn't matter than neither does the bad and we can hold on for the specks, you know? We can hold on through the moments when it feels impossible because this is ALL impossible. And yet somehow, possible. If I'm a rock then that's alright, as long as I know I'm not the only rock. Hot Dog fingers forever!
Love love love this comment
Yea same for all of it. Last year I gave myself a year till I'd leave, and the entire time I was in that optimistic nihilism state of "nothing matters". I found love. I found shittier pieces of shit. Sometimes I fought with kindness. I got to be absorbed by a band I fell in love with that finally felt like...people who could look into the everything bagel too. I'm gonna see them in September. Its just...enough small dust motes of moments. Nothing Matters. The Rest is just confetti...
The everything bagel and the googly eyes being polar visual opposites just EXPLAINS WAIMON’s AND JOY’s DIFFERENT IDEOLOGIES PERFECTLY
The fight scene between Joy and Evelyn, I noticed that Joy squares up w her mom and Evelyn opens her arms for Joy, for a hug. And as Joy is throwing her mom punches, Evelyn is blocking them, she’s not hitting her back so I took that as she’s letting Joy express herself, she’s letting Joy feel after not listening to her. And I know at some point in a child’s life,they had thought about throwing hands with their parents. Now I would never go through with it, have the guts to. But that scene felt so close to home and I just wish my parents would have let me express my feelings without thinking I was disrespecting them or attacking them
Damn, I haven’t thought of that before.
My brother and I were one of those lucky kids that although there were some things we discussed to our parents it time for them to not be authoritative about, our mom allowed us to express ourselves. Sometimes there still seems to be a barrier but if they are patient and willing to learn and listen from their children that's A1
Can you express yourself now?
that moment towards the end when evelyn is hugging joy is soooo powerful to me. just the expression of relief and happiness as she hugs her daughter away from the edge. in that moment, not only did she save but she finally got her baby back. the rift that's been brewing between them was finally was closing. so beautiful!
easily the best moment I have ever experienced in movies ever
i think the word everyone is looking for when describing this movie is "catharsis." it took me through the whole spectrum of human emotion, sometimes holding opposite ends at the same time, until i was wrung out like a goddamn rag. and then there were so many zen and taoist themes like the bagel and the googly eye being the inverse of each other or "just be a rock." there was the whole thing being set at lunar new year when ur supposed to make a big ruckus to drive out mean and evil energies. the fact that there's a character named joy leads to any statements concerning her character sounding really deep: like, it's about an immigrant mom fighting to save her joy. it's symbolic that the gong gong wants his daughter to kill joy. joy only exists in universes where waymond and evelyn got together. etc.
i just feel really proud to have what feels like an actual east asian diaspora movie scene now. i was never really the target demographic for crazy rich asians and it still mostly concerns asian folks in the setting of an asian country. between everything everywhere all at once and turning red, i feel so inspired and vindicated. like, yes, our stories are unique and distinct from mainland asia. yes, our stories will add spice and variety to your movie palate. yes, we can do more with less resources and less exploitation 🙃
Highly underrated comment
Holy shit. When I thought I already understood the movie with all the symbolisms of philosophy and imagery or the circles in Chinese culture, there is more. Thank you for this beautiful comment!
I'm here because it swept Oscars, and the movie rightfully deserved every rewards and recognition it got. One of the modern masterpiece i've seen in recent years. Besides an interesting theme done well (multiverse), over-the-top hilarious action sequences, great editing and heartwarming drama, it's philosophically thought-provoking too.
It tells the opposing approach to existentialism that questions our life's purpose and cripples most of us. Pessimistic nihilism vs. optimistic absurdism. The yinyang of everything bagel (black outside, white inside) vs google eyes (white outside, black inside). Empty void inside vs pure core inside. "Nothing matters so might as well die along with everything else" vs "Nothing matters so might as well enjoy life". Waymond taught Evelyn and us the latter.
Fun fact: someone in the production referred to the buttplug trophy as “Chekov’s buttplug” as a joke because of the plot device commonly referred to as “Chekov’s gun”. (This plot device basically just means that whenever a gun is introduced into a scene, it will somehow eventually be used: The same as how the buttplug trophy was introduced and then later used.)
On a different note lol, it was so cool to see your reactions to this since you went in cold!! It’ll definitely stay with you for while :)
LMAO i called it the same thing when i saw it in theaters, cuz i noticed it looked like a buttplug and was like “that cant be an accident, someone has to use that now and im concerned”
@@pitpat2928 LOL, I love that haha. Tbh, the entire audience laughed when we saw it first pop-up, but I just thought it was a metaphorical thing. Like, Jaimie’s character is known to fuck people over and to be a pain in the ass (puns intended), so I thought it was just set dressing to expand on her character. I never once expected what actually came to pass to happen LMAO 💀
you know that scene where evelyn is told to say “I love you” with sincerity to deirdre so she can jump to another universe and Evelyn was confused but still tried anyways? Like you later understand why because they’re together in another universe and i think that’s a small thing that is so well done and planned
This movie is definitely one of my absolute favorites, I cried my EYES out in the theaters
The nuanced difference they show between "nothing matters" and the soul-sucking depression that can cause, and "nothing matters" and the FREEDOM that realization can bring is genuinely one of the most beautiful statements I've seen a movie make in a really long time
Themes in the movie: nihilism and the reality that even though nothing really matters there is always something that matters, depression/suicide and the signs of reaching out people often miss or misinterpret, the mother-father-daughter relationship especially that of immigrant parents and children, the importance of kindness and how impactful it can be…etc.
The imagery and metaphors were brilliant too. Like the donut (which is actually a theorized shape of the universe) being a black circle with a hole that symbolizes nihilism. And the googly eyes is the inverse of that, being a white circle around a black hole that symbolizes joy and kindness in life. The message is that being empathetic and kind isn’t passive or weak. It’s active and actionable. When faced against an army that tries to kill her at the end it’s Evelyn’s ability (based on Waymond) to empathize with people that saves Joy, to fight violence with love and give people fulfillment. It’s the void in one’s life that allows one to contribute to willful violence. You can fight fire with fire but the more successful strategy is to fight violence with social connection. When you can change the minds of the forces, have them understand they’re just part of a system of hate and murder that is using them to fill the void, that results in them not wanting to shoot, and to turn back to revolutionize against the true enemy.
I think another one of the biggest takeaways from Everything Everywhere all at once is its critique on the “alpha male” archetype and shining a light on the importance of empathetic men, while simultaneously critiquing the depictions of Asian males in cinema as “weak” and secondary. And also there’s like an appreciation of all skillsets in employees. The sign spinner holds a strength that Evelyn lacks . The singer holds a strength that Evelyn lacks. The cleaner holds a knowledge that Evelyn lacks. 3 jobs that often are seen as either inferior or not “real jobs” all hold the keys to success.
movie of the year. PERIOD. makes you feel all the feels, it's a full catharsis. so happy you reacted to it! I'm so happy you talked about the parallels between joy's character and depression, 'cause this was what most touched me when I first watched. Seen a mother fighting to save her daughter from ending her existence really moved me
i saw this movie for the first time when it first came to theaters with just the knowledge that i “might cry”. i sobbed for the last 30 minutes of the movie and just sat through the credits to process. As someone who struggles with mental health and mommy issues, this movie felt so healing and kind of like therapy. I’m SOOO glad you enjoyed it❤️
OH MY GOD I CANT BELIEVE YOU REACTED TO THIS MOVIE IM SOOO GLAD IT'S TRULY A MASTERPIECE
The rock scene is what got me. I literally have said that I just want to be a rock before. When I was going through post partum depression, I was trying to explain to my husband how I was feeling. I said, I want to be a rock. I want to still exist but have no responsibility... Just be there and watch it all with no expectations. So that moment really hit me hard.
I basically cried for the entire last 40 minutes of this film. You are not alone my friend!
First viewing I cried in some specific places… second viewing I cried from the point that Evelyn tells Waymond “I saw my life without you. It was beautiful”. And pretty much until the end.
having a bit of an unhealthy relationship with my mother, this movie made me ugly sob. "i don't wanna hurt anymore and for some reason when i'm with you it just hurts the both of us" like damn
the dad is so damm precious, I'm really happy there is a movie with the message that this movie has, it is perfectly OK to live a humble life with the people you love
I walked put of the cinema, booked another ticket, and walked right back in. And I laughed and cried and enjoyed every second of every watch (now 4 times). It deserves EVERYTHING
everywhere
all at once
I love how they're saying if nothing matters, then doesn't everything matter? Even if it's a raccoon chef or hot dog fingers. It all matters and it's all worth finding Joy in.
Yes. It's taking points from Albert Camus.
Telling someone what they love doesn't matter in a meaningless universe is equal to telling them it does for that very reason. You may as well choose to find meaning in it because why the fuck not? It's the ultimate form of rebellion and the human spirit pushing on.
“If nothing we do matters, all that matters is what we do.” ❤️
if Michelle Yeoh doesn't get nominated for the Oscar for best leading actress, i will protest!
Omg it’s Chuuzus!!! 💯🔥🥹🔥💯
AGREED
I will protest with you
Hi I would love to add in: the he/she mix up is actually something that happens with the translation between Chinese and English! My friend (who is Chinese) who came to watch it with me told me that his grandmother often mixes up pronouns, but not out of ignorance, just because of how the chinese language works! Which is a SUPER FUN thing for them to add in here. My friend after the movie kept talking about how relatable this movie felt to him.
omg i did not expect this, i'm so glad you checked it out. i also went in blind and saw it in theaters on a whim and i absolutely did not expect it to make such an impact on me. i've seen it 5 times now, one of the best movies ever to me.
watched this movie with my mother. we didn’t always have a good relationship but this year after my brief suicidal period and hospitalization we became closer than ever. safe to say we both cried.
This movie has so much symbolism but the googley eye versus the bagel is my absolute favorite. They're opposites of each other, the bagel (empty middle) represents the nihilism in "nothing matters", joy is fleeting and good moments don't last. The googley eye (solid middle) represents the optimist in "nothing matters", bad decisions don't define us and bad moments don't last. Since nothing matters, treat everyone with kindness and cherish the good moments more than the bad. Its such a beautiful movie, I cried in the theater and cried again watching Ashley react. Best of 2022, in my opinion
Am I the only one that adores the fact that ash’s sponsors seam to be focused on self help lately? We love a mother that cares for her audience!
I just love how Joy shows Evelyn that anything matters so that she can relax a bit but then Evelyn shows Joy that we choose what matters to us and make us happy. And the learning to fight with love and appreciating our life and knowing we can always improve it. this movie is a family drama with the multiverse that touches deep shit. I love this so much
So true! If “nothing” really matters, we get to choose for ourselves what does matter, and find the joy and love in the little things we do for one another. Love that so much!
Genuinely one of the best films I've ever seen. Not only does it execute an insanely difficult-to-pull-off story, but it does it FLAWLESSLY. I'm so glad it's getting the love it deserves.
I watched this a few months ago it literally changed the way I view things, I never felt like that about a movie before. I was laughing, crying and laughing again watching it. I haven’t watched this video yet but I am right now! Love you bestie mom
Not even after the high grossing film of all time, Avatar, the blue people one? Wow...
@@nailinthefashion avatar weird
@@calicat8883 LMFAAAOOOOO yeah, I watched it the other day and it's extremely white saviory.
This movie premiered at SXSW and was the main reason why I attended this year. This movie is MEANT to be seen in theaters. It was heartwarming to hear that Jamie Lee Curtis was watching it the first time at the premiere and she too cried
I went to this movie in theaters with my mom and it actually destroyed us. We were holding hands and crying for our lives, honestly it was the best way I could have watch it
That’s beautiful. 🥲
the laundry and taxes line did make me cry more, but I first just boiled over in tears when Waymond said it felt like somehow this was all his fault. I can't even put into words how much that hit me.
This movie really just gave us what all people with mommy/daddy issues want so bad
(Edit) which is to be heard
The fact that I watched this on an airplane with no audio and just subtitles and still had an overwhelming emotional experience still amazes me
Watching this at the movie theater was an EXPERIENCE. You could hear every bit of emotion in there: people laughing their ass off with the rocks scene, and then everyone sobbing right after. The movie takes you through that rollercoaster of emotions, one “what the fuck is happening?” at a time.
this movie is so good i actually cried watching this reaction video just by seeing snippets of the scenes and remembering how i felt the first time. it's something i'll surely never forget
This was so good. I saw this with my family about a week ago and I was pleasantly surprised. So happy your reacting too it
I had heard this was a great film, and decided to watch it on a flight for a work trip. Grown man sobbing on an airplane... yep. Then could not stop thinking about it the entire time, and watched it AGAIN on the flight home - and bawled YET AGAIN. Masterpiece.
Your timing is IMPECCABLE, I literally just rewatched it with a friend (who hadn't seen it before) earlier today.
Still hit me just as hard as the first time watching it at the cinema - I'm just going to ramble about a few things regarding this movie, since I've thought a lot about it:
I think the way existential dread and depression are handled in this film is absolutely masterful. As someone who's often had trouble expressing their own experiences with it, I really resonated with Joy's nihilistic outlook on life. Which is also why Evelyn's final speech hits me so damn hard - even when we're at our lowest, like Joy, we still seek companionship and understanding. We all need someone to listen, to understand us, and having that person be Evelyn after years of a complicated relationship between them, is just such a character arc.
And Waymond's whole idea of fighting is to keep wonder and optimism alive in a world, where it seems impossible, is just so perfect, and the opposite of Joy's nihilism - which is why I absolutely LOVE that the googly eyes and bagel are the opposite of each other. Opposite ideals, but coming from the same place, visually.
Also, the editing and soundtrack in general are just so goddamn stunning - everything about this movie is, really.
That was a long rant, but yeah - this is definitely my favourite so far this year, perhaps top 3 of all time. It gives a depressed and anxious gay like me the hope, that it will all work out, if we just try our best and be kind ❤️
this movie had me sobbing in the theatre the ENTIRE second half. absolutely amazing. ive never seen anything like it and i dont think we ever will again. so happy to watch someone experience it for the first time!!!
Can we take a moment to appreciate Becky’s character? She was barely in the film but every time she was on screen she made me smile🥰❤️🩹🥰
The acting of "What did he say?" Might be my favourite line delivery in the film and that is saying *something*
@@left8277 sameeee and second is joy's "then all the pain and guilt you feel for making nothing of your life (...)" MMM
I recently rewatched this movie after it won all the awards.
I was so happy watching everyone’s speeches.
I’ve been going through a bunch of reaction videos of it because I love watching other people connect with and cry over this artistic masterpiece.
I gotta say I really enjoy your energy and the fact that you’re also part Polynesian lol
It’s all malo e lelei (or Tal Ofa/ aloha) until it’s ruthless realness with these aunties
This is the most chaotic and emotional movie I’ve seen in a while. Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and Stephanie Hsu were amazing at portraying the family
When I watched this in cinema I legit was stuck in my seat for like 10 minutes after it ended while everyone was leaving/already gone. I was in disbelief. This movie hit so hard and I cried so hard. It deserves every single award
I think there’s an interesting analogy with the things that happen in the movie and the experience of the viewer. The film makes you go through the most chaotic shitshow (in a beautiful way) and uses comedy to make you let go of the seriousness of following the plot. Once you realize how to watch it, you become much more open to feel and the writers hit you in that vulnerability at the perfect time.
This film is genius. Easily the best of the year so far. Plus we need to protect WAYMOND WANG!!!!
Watching this movie was a big wake up call for me. The family dynamic mirrored my family to the tee. My mother is just like Evelyn, she is an immigrant from Sudan who has a job running in her home. I don't know how to describe it but after watching the movie i felt complete. Seeing Evelyn and Joy come to understanding made me feel like i did as well. I am a queer teen who is struggling w an ed; my mom didn't understand but accepted my mental illness but denies it in front of her father. I know know why she comes off as ashamed when it comes to me and my many issues she is worried to be disowned by her father once again. Ummm yah tht was long as hell but basically me nd joy are one in the same and the movie was dedicated to me 🤗
Ps i love u ashley 💌
(ihdk how to spell ur name...)
we love getting new videos consistently...And such good content at that
Girl same. That feeling at the end of the movie is intense, like feeling like you just witnessed a glimpse to a secret of the universe and you’re just in awe
Hands down best film in the last 10 or more years. Much needed in
this covid world we live in.
We all just have to find those we are happy doing laundry and taxes with 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️
The absurdity and unapologetically absurdist philosophy of this film is also its beauty. The more I think about the film (even its most ridiculous parts), the more I realize it’s a validation of what it means to be human, and an encouragement to show kindness to each other no matter how absurd our existence may be from one moment of life to the next.
i am so early i feel like i've unlocked a new part of the map
I felt so many things throughout this movie. And I definitely had no idea how to express what I was feeling. As someone who really identified with the mother-daughter relationship, it was actually the rock scenes that made me cry the most- reminded me of when I was younger and my mom would try to cheer me up when I was grumpy or upset with her. I also really identified with Joy, her apathy and depression being expressed by her chaotic nature was something that perfectly encapsulated that abstract state. When the movie ended and the credits rolled I was fine. Until Mitski started singing. I listened to that song for so long after seeing this.
But also pls know that me - and everyone else- are so proud of you. Your hard work for these past weeks(maybe even months idk) are so inspiring. I know you have been trying to get everything back to what once was normal. Just know that we see you, we love u and really appreciate everything ❤️
This. We appreciate it so much ash
@@real6762 yeah I mean she literally got me through my ed and my struggles with depression. She has been more of a help than my irl family and I just want her to know how much she is loved
The performance of those rocks was just so touching that I'm still overwhelmed. Give them all the awards. A truly magnificent performance.
Yes, but.... Technically there's no performance in the rock scenes, it's just.... Rocks
Watching this without any prior context like watching the trailer or reading about it is the best way of enjoying the film. Michelle Yeoh’s character is exactly a mirror match of my own mother being an immigrant from Malaysia like herself and wants her child to have the best quality of life but sometimes they forget that happiness in life is better than what’s “best” and what’s “right”
