Hi guys - YT has SEVERLY cut this one down. This is just some of the highlights. I may try to reedit it in the future to get it out but for now, here is just a little bit of EEAAO. thanks for watching just this little taste.
TBH Stephanie Hsu was robbed; Jamie Lee Curtis got a lifetime achievement award of opportunity. The "all my fault" line is where this movie broke me too. That hit different, and hard. Pretty much cried my way through the rest of the movie.
I have trouble understanding where he would get the idea that it could be all his fault. Does he believe that merely asking for a divorce would cause the whole universe- multiverse- to suddenly go haywire?
and Angela Bassett in Black Panther Wakanda Forever... they always take the opportunity to give an overdue award to a white actor whenever there's a BIPOC actor in the running smh, bc the academy is twisted. I'm not on the ins of the Film Academy, but I assume its similar to the GRAMMYs, and the GRAMMYs voting system has big issues.
Jamie Lee deserved the award. So did every other nominee. It’s an award for creating a believable character and bringing it to life, irregardless of how many moving speeches a character gives. Curtis breathed just as much life into her character as Hsu did. It’s just that Hsu’s character was more important to the plot and her character was given lines with more gravitas, but Curtis absolutely delivered, even in the scenes where she was in the background and/or had no lines. Joy had more emotional impact on the audience than Deidre, so I understand folks’ reaction to Curtis being awarded the Oscar, but, again, Jamie Lee turned in just as good a performance as Stephanie. ❤️
James Hong has been in 457 movies since his first role in 1954 when he was 25. Waymond and Gong Gong both explained why Jobu was upset; Alpha Evelyn pushed Jobu so hard that she started seeing every possibility all at once. Since Evelyn was able to survive the mind split that Jobu survived because she was the worst Evelyn, it suggests that Jobu was the worst Joy while Alpha Evelyn was a brilliant scientist.
She wasn't purposely being rude or mean. She wasn't kicking Becky out: she was not comfortable with the idea of her daughter's girlfriend looking after her father while the family did tax things. She is fearful of her father's judgement.
@@WatchwithMarcella Right? I mean she already felt criticized and rejected by him (I am curious as to what Gong Gong’s backstory with his own parents is like). So on top of base anxiety about leaving him with someone he hardly knows, she is worried about what his reaction could be, if and when he finds out who Becky actually is- it would, potentially, give him one MORE thing to carp at her about, he might turn on his granddaughter on finding out she was gay, and could even (she suggests) be harmful to himself, if the shock is severe enough. (and then to add yet a further layer to the mix, while she is, I believe, legitimately concerned about the potential blowback from him If he should learn the truth, she is _also_ using it is a convenient excuse to avoid acknowledgement that she is not in fact as open as she would like to believe herself to be.)
It's not that odd for security guards to carry guns. It just requires a certification and opens up higher paying positions. My dad worked as one for a few years. Plus since they're being audited, they're likely at the IRS building, which would be a government facility. You see when they first walk in that there are metal detectors and bag scanners. So guns are pretty expected there.
I can't with this movie. I'm crying AGAIN! I went to watch this when it was released, no one went to watch it so I was alone in the theater but I was glad that I was because I was crying and laughing at the same time. I looked like a crazy person.
I ignored it when it first came out. I tend to avoid things that are so hyped. FINALLY saw it and I agree. I cry every time. I mean a movie that makes me cry over ROCKS! Genius.
It's my head-canon that, when immigrating from China to the USA, the man who would be called 'Weymond' was recommended to change his Chinese name to "Raymond" but, because of the accent, it was mispronounced... and he knows it's incorrect, but he liked it so much that he kept it. That's just the sort of thing he'd do.
The security guards have guns because the IRS is a federal organization. They don't have unarmed security watching federal properties. All of their guards would be armed ones. My husband used to work for the Small Business Administration (doing IT work), and the guards at the building there had guns as well. Likewise, when you go into a Department of Motor Vehicles, any guards that are employed are armed guards. Basically, level of arming depends on what is being guarded. Police don't escort armored bank trucks (like Brinks), but they will hire two armed guards to stay with the money. Likewise with government agencies, their guards are always armed. Edit: There is so much significance to her saying "I'm sorry, what did you say" at the ending, because before, when she didn't hear, or understand, she would either pretend she did, or blame the other person for not being clear enough. Not only has she chosen to be present, and kinder, but she's also admitting when she doesn't hear or understand something. Before, she said she didn't need help, at the end, she accepts Becky and Joy's help. Evelyn's character arch in this movie is INCREDIBLE.
Her character arc is incredible. You are so right about her last line! I noticed that when I was editing. If I could have added everything I learned or missed while I was editing that could be a whole separate video. 😂 I wish all those places didn’t need armed guards. That’s just sad. 😩
I honestly don't know how my family escaped generational trauma. I think it is thanks to the strength of my grandmother, the transition from Old to New world. Of course we found our own traumas, but I don't think any of it counts as generational. I have kind of had to learn about generational trauma from movies and then see it in friends.
Wonderful reaction. Give it a 2nd and 3rd viewing if you have time because once the shock value is over, and you are spoiled to it? It's even deeper and more emotional.
I agree 90% most of my first reaction was confusion and awe and I felt like the movie fully hit me the second time. I remember not actually knowing how I felt about the movie after I watched it the first time. I told my mom I didn’t know if I liked it but I would absolutely 100% see it again. A movie experience I’ve never had before, and it’s my favorite movie now.

@@WatchwithMarcella It probably would. Same filmmakers and bring a surprisingly emotional response considering the basic idea of the plot. I went in expecting a dumb, fun comedy and got a lot more out of it.
Is that a lego tissue box? If so that is so cool! As is your Dr. Who shirt. Been a fan of Dr. Who since the Jon Pertwee days. I had low expectations for this movie. I usually do not like movies that are so hyped. Only finally saw it maybe 2 months ago. I was blown away and am now obsessed with it. When suggesting it to someone I said be prepared for a wild ride. Then I said, don't bother being prepared...no one can be prepared for this.
Have you ever seen James May's Toy Stories (or some name like that). In one episode he builds an entire house of of Legos. It took a little bit of cheating for structural integrity, but he did it and then threw a party inside the house. My daughter was obsessed with that episode when she was a kid and I helped her write a letter to James May, which he kindly answered.
I wanted to watch it with you all, so I kept avoiding. Ducking and dodging reviews and other reactions. I’m so excited to watch other reactions now. I’ve been waiting. It took me quite a while to edit this one. 🥹
Thanks, Marcella! 👁 And since you wondered, James Caan has been in 135 titles... and three more are set to be released, posthumously. #WatchWithMarcella #DanielKwan #DanielScheinert #EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce
I watched this film with my mom and my and my dad. I'm glad we did. Cause we just cried and just got to open up. 20 of 10. This is Thanksgiving movie worthier.
some asian married couples dont show affection to one another so its okay that you didnt really get the married vibe from evelyn and waymond at first. one of my uncles has never said the words “i love you” to my aunt and theyve been married for 30 years HAHA
You might wanna adjust the volume for future videos. I'm not sure if the movie volume is too loud or your volume is too low, or both, but it make it really hard to hear what you're saying when both are playing at the same time
@17:48 - 1. Because movie 2. Because 'murica 3. Because this is a federal building so they would not be private security people. @1:24:40 - One of the actors that you see throughout this, like sitting next to her in the theater, is named Waymond (Lee). They put in him in one of their early short films called "Interesting Ball". Don't recall if they said he is why they named the character Waymond or not. On a related interesting factoid, they originally were going to call Evelyn's character Michelle as they thought it would be meta. She put her foot down telling them it was stupid and would hurt the suspension of disbelief and investment in the character.
@@WatchwithMarcella Yeah, I think that is more of a wink midway through that doesn't start you off with trying to mentally separate "michelle the actor" from "michelle this character".
Nah... Stephanie deserves the oscar way more than jamie for this movie... Anyone would say that including me... Jamie i think got it beacause of years of being in the industry... Which isnt fair to Stephanie as she deserves more for this role
Stephanie was amazing, but she just wasn’t going to beat Jamie Lee. Once that train starts with the awards, it rarely stops and when she won the first one, I thought yeah - she’s gonna win the Oscar. She a wonderful human being and has had a great career. The sad fact is they did probably give it to her for that, but they should just start branching out in their awards categories and stop giving award baity drama movies all the awards. The acting in genre movies has been severely overlooked over the years. I actually wanted Angela Bassett to win because she was a revelation in Wakanda Forever. Fierce, fragile, heartbreaking and the epitome of Strength all in such a short amount of screen time. Now though? I would have to call it a draw between Stephanie and Angela. Both were amazing. Jamie was great and maybe deserved the golden globe, but not the Oscar. Maybe. I don’t know. She was really good too. Three way tie!!! Has that ever happened?
You know, I thought about it when you said it didn’t seem like they were married in the beginning that is kind of the point how they weren’t acting like a happy couple and she was very dismissive

This movie somehow had so much more movie in it than most movies
So much more movie!

I 💯 agree! Jamie was good, but Stephanie was amazing!
I have trouble understanding where he would get the idea that it could be all his fault. Does he believe that merely asking for a divorce would cause the whole universe- multiverse- to suddenly go haywire?
I think he did. Somehow. I’ve felt like that before.
@@StoryMing think he’s just a man who knows his wife and daughter are both in pain and that he hadn’t kept it from happening, so it must be his fault

Yes!!! I need to know Gong Gong’s backstory. There is so much there to be explored.
Michelle Yeoh cut her teeth in Hong Kong action / martial arts films, but her original training was in dance, not martial arts.
That’s so crazy! I heard she can really sing also.
I just assumed it was normal for security guards in the U.S. to have a gun
I wish it wasn’t
Finally, someone caught the Donna Noble call out. Be kind… and never eat pears!
Donna Noble is the best!

I absolutely adore this movie. Any film that can make you laugh while you're crying really hits you different.
it really does. It was such a good movie!
Oh! This is gonna be so entertaining! 🍿🍿🍿🍿 EEAAO has been known to leave roughnecks in a puddle of tears! You already cry easily. So...
Ha ha! I sure do. And this got me. 😭

Generational trauma represented at it best! Love this movie forever

Yeah, it’s an IRS building so security are actual police.
Waymond thought it's his fault for the chaos around Evelynn because he wanted to divorce her. He thought he'd pushed Evelynn over the edge
Waymond needs the biggest hug in the world.
When you said at the beginning that you cry easy (much like me) I was thinking: "Oh boy...this is gonna be a RIDE"
🥹😂😂😂
That was a very sweet reaction. I'm totally moved. Thank you!
Thank you so much

I’ve never seen Swiss Army Man? Would it make a good reaction watch? Love me some Daniel Radcliffe.
