@@alzara3425 It's about how societies brew men who revolt against their establishments; how the struggle proves too much for them, to the point of choosing to make a drastic effort to change it. Think of it as an alternate solution to the problem of humanity's struggles, as answered by his prior, “One must imagine Sisyphus happy."
"When I choose to see the good side of things, I'm not being naive. It is strategic and necessary." When I watched this movie with my girlfriend, this was the line that broke me, man. It felt like all the sadness I'd been through living with a pessimistic mother that constantly seemed to drain my own hope when it came to my struggles with mental health, it felt like that struggle was valid all along. Waymond as a character genuinely made me feel validated for all the ways I didn't fit Asian masculinity.
This movie changed my life. I used to be a very angry person because of what I have been and gone through in life. I always thought that since life is really a bitch, you survive by being equally cruel. I used to think that my anger and hate gives me motivation and for a while it really does. But it hurts me also as much as it does the other person. So I embarked on a journey to learn to tame my anger and respond with kindess. When people are unkind to you, you have to tell yourself that you do not want to be as hateful as they are.
This scene made me feel so much and made my view of the world feel heard. So many people are angry and mad at each other, and I try to understand with compassion. And no one wants to do that. But that doesn't mean we stop. We keep going and encourage the same in others, to try to make a difference, even if it's small it's still change
Same dude, I started crying here too (and didn't stop till the end of the movie) because I had recently come to that mindset, and when I watched the movie I remember thinking, "Oh my god, someone else gets it."
I agree. When he said "you think I'm weak" or talking about how he's not naïve to the world, it really made me feel seen. I am kind in spite of all of that because in times of confusion especially, fighting and hurt doesn't do any good.
Ke Huy Quan really knocked it out of the park with this movie, and you can really see his range when they put his multiverse versions alongside each other.
I love this message so much! Most people always assume that optimism is just naivety, in reality, kindness can be the hardest thing a person can do in the face of struggle. And the people who decide to follow through with it are often the ones who are needed the most!
In the face of cruelty, hatred, misery, pain, and a universe that doesn’t care what happens to us, it’s easy to fall into a trap of thinking pessimistic nihilism is the way to go, that it’s the “mature”, “intelligent”, and “realistic” option cause that’s what the world has trained you think is reality. But that mindset really gets you nowhere, besides treating people with hope and optimism as stupid and naive children. The truth is, people get stuck on that level of realization and stay there, taking pride in their “intelligence” as a way to cope with a deep-seated misery and pain. When in reality, when you take time to recognize acts of kindness, love, and empathy, when you realize you have only focused on the bad in life, and when you see that putting goodness into the world, even when the bad seems overwhelming and will repeatedly beat you down, you can shine a light in the darkness that, even if dim, will warm yourself and those around you and can inspire them to shine their own lights. That, is real maturity in my book. You can choose to spend the hat time you have before oblivion sulking in the darkness, or unleashing goodness.
One of the best scenes ever. The different Waymond's...Ke's acting is SO good here it hits ALL the feels. This scene alone is worthy of an Oscar. I sure hope A24 is putting this movie out there. I would actually like to see a theatrical re-release for Oscar season.
This scene. I’m an ecologist and I volunteer a lot and I’m chronically ill and going to die younger than I should, I’m deeply passionate and militant about the things and people I care for. But I’m also very gentle and calm otherwise, I love deeply and I protect my people’s peace by being kind and not adding to the struggles of the world.
This is the kind of thinking that got me through the worst parts of my life. I always felt stupid, and naive for thinking too positively and it made me feel lesser than anyone else. I don’t think I’ve ever cried as much as when I heard these lines. I felt validated, and that I was doing the right thing, and it felt like all the effort up to this point wasn’t for nothing. I know my purpose in this world. There’s so much shit going on everywhere around us, and I’d rather spread kindness and show people that it’s not all bad. I’m very lonely on this journey, but I’ll die alone if I have to. I never want to change
im a very negative person trying to be better. dont let others opinion get in the way of u spreading kindness. if ppl make fun of you its because deep down they know you're right, but its harder to do the right thing
One voice depicted as calm, measured, and understanding, the other juxtaposed as frantic, confused, and panicked. All within the same character, Everything Everywhere All at Once. Brilliant scene.
A lot of times when I watch movies I don't think of characters representing me, because they're usually just that; characters. But this is the first time I cried because someone else was able to express how I feel in life when it comes to overcoming hard times and being kind to one another.
As an emotionally sensitive person who's often been perceived as "soft" or "naive" or "innocent", this scene helped me realize that's actually been my strength. I don't do it as a capitulation or fallback. I do it with purpose and awareness and intention. This is how I fight.
I absolutely bawled through most of the second half of this movie. It resonates with me on SO many DEEP levels. "...I know you see yourself as a fighter. Well, I see myself as one, too. This is how I fight..."
AND THEN SHE STARTS FIGHTING BY BEING ACTUALLY NICE AND HELPING PEOPLE BUT ITS STILL KUNG FU AND ACTION GID THIS MOVIE IS FUCKING GENIUS ITS BRILLIANT WE ARE NOT WORTHY WE ARE NOT WORTHY
the first time i saw this there was so much to take in. the second time this scene made me cry hard. after the pandemic and all the hate in the world mixed in that thought of kindness being a strategy moved me. if ke huy quan doesn’t get an oscar nomination for this it will be the greatest snub since andrew garfield in the social network

When Waymond says 'Somehow, this feels like it's all my fault,' you can see Evelynn, even in her fugued-out state, take a half-step towards him as though to try and protect him. She always knew the answer.
This scene really broke me because all I do is fight with kindness and reasoning for other peoples motives and all the time my own father or siblings would say I just am a pushover but we just all are fighters In our own way 🥹
That being said, man, don't let yourself be used either. You deserve to prioritize yourself when you need to. Trust, this is coming from a guy who bawled like a baby to this scene because I felt heard.

When I choose to see the good side of things, I’m not being naive. It is strategic and necessary. It’s how I learned to survive through everything.
People focus on the laundry and taxes line, but this is what broke me down. Best line in the film.

Man doesn't act for 20+ years than comes back with the performance of a lifetime.

True kindness and being gentle is the hardest thing to be in this world but so incredibly important. This scene reminds us why.
and yet its the most powerful thing a human can learn.
Knowing Ke’s story made this scene more heart breaking. He dreamt of this. And for decades was denied. He gave us something special.
Everyone references the 'I'd have loved doing laundry with you' line. THIS, however, was what touched me.
I watched this movie on an airplane and had to pause at this point because I was crying too hard to see the screen. Absolutely incredible film
