Are we ever getting teen titans vs TTG
.
The reason that Evelyn pushed Joy so much is easy: high expectations for children in Asian culture. You push your kids to not only get a 4.0 but also be on several teams and clubs. Go to college early. Become a doctor. All of that. This was the multiverse research version of "My child is exceptional and can take this when other kids can't. We need to research other universes and my child is the only one good enough to handle it."
^^^ plus, the immigrant experience of "i want my kid to succeed and go farther than i did" which also contributes to her pushing joy so much. especially in evelyns case where she views her position in life as wasted potential, she doesnt want joy to end up in what she considers a dead end
I remember when I saw this in theatres weeks after its release, an older lady with whom I assume to be her daughters (they were noticeably younger) sat next to me and my gf and all three of em were like "Can't wait for how dumb this movie's gonna be" and saying other stuff like that. 2 hours later and I've never seen women hold onto each other so tightly covered in tears in my life 😄
Sounds like they not prepared for the Mother-Daughter drama that was to come!
Yeah this movie will do that to ya.
Oh my. Oh how they changed their minds
Yep. I expected this to be a fun little multiversal romp when I saw it. Came out sobbing. It was at home, and my mom was with me; as soon as they said "multiverse", she checked out and went to get food and didn't come back until the end, because she doesn't let herself enjoy multiverse or superhero movies (she thinks they're "too confusing" or "too childish", respectively, from the jump, so she never even bothers to try and pay attention to them). So she got back during the final Evelyn/Joy climax scene and was like, "...what happened? I have no idea what's going on, but that looks good." And I was sitting there crying like, "THAT'S BECAUSE YOU MISSED 2/3 OF THE MOVIE!" 😅
@@IceMetalPunkmy mom was similarly skeptical but afterwards she hugged my sister for a good five minutes
Never forget that Jamie Lee Curtis won Best Supporting Actress for her character with ten minutes of screentime, instead of the incredible performance by Stephanie Hsu, the actual, literal supporting actress of this film.
Wth 😭
Wait I thought Stephanie Hsu was more than a "supporting actress" she's literally a main character!
Stephanie wasn't the actual supporting actress..... she was a co-lead.....
@@Rash23215 she was nominated for the supporting actress award tho
@@marirezende8478 i know.... it's a category fraud cause 2 supporting nominations is more plausible than 2 lead nominations.... but as op said, Stephanie wasn't the ACTUAL LITERAL supporting actress
The googly eye is the oppositive of the everything bagel.
One is a white circle with a black center while the other is a black circle with a white center
While the bagel was built to end Jobu's (and the universe's) life, the fake eye is commonly used to give life to inanimate objects
That's why each party uses it as a symbol. Evelyn starts wearing it on her forehead, while Jobu's allies often draw it on theirs
Yin and Yang
This movie had no business being as good and emotional as it was. I always end up balling my eyes out near the end. 💜
I can't believe this movie exists. I can't believe a movie with a butt plug fight won the fucking Oscar.
@@ericmicke4130 It's so chaotic, and it sshouldn't work...but it does, and it's amazing.
@@MarleyGompel 100% agree.
You can make it to the end? During Waymond's "be kind" speech I'm already a sobbing mess 😅
@@MarleyGompel On paper, there's zero chance of this making any sense at all. I'm glad A23 took a risk on them, because holy shit the Daniels created a masterclass in execution of absurdist ideas.
This was truly the movie of a generation. People my age are very nihilistic, very existential, very passionate, very worried about whether we're truly loved or if the selves we hide could be loved. This film told us that we are, and that life can matter. Phenomenal movie
That laundry and taxes line is the most romantic line I’ve ever seen in a movie, I tear up every fucking time man.
This film set their original budget at 25 million dollars, they ended up only spending $14.3 million. You know it is a class A team when they return with the remainder of the budget and say, we didn’t need all of this money. The entire film was edited on Adobe Premiere Pro by a team of 5 amateur editors. The way that they made everything look as real as they did was by making as much of it as real as they could. When Evelyn is jumping between universes- those shots were actually shot in a chair. Then sped up. The Fanny pack fight, very real. He was a stunt director for a couple years, and was excited to learn. Even towards the end where Evelyn has her pinky strength and hits the guy into the air- he was actually lifted by a harness and then dropped down for her to finish the move. Even the sitting on the crack of the couch was real and sped up.
We have become dependent on “special effects”. I have said it from the beginning and I will say it forever. Practical effects shoot better on film, they get more genuine reactions from actors, and they are much cheaper.
I thought the over reliance on specia effects was cause it was cheaper and or easier. What do you mean it’s more expensive, harder and is worse to look at?
@@hanaomer4419 The over reliance on special effects is not cheaper, and it's only easier on the actors and higher ups since they don't have to do nearly as much work (making props, choreographing, etc.). Any other mainstream movie company nowadays can get away with this because they usually have high enough budgets to just dump on the FX team to add everything in post, and often times it just looks much worse than if they were to just create the effects practically on set. A lot of recent MCU films are guilty of this.
Pretty sure they used adobe after effects too. Went to SIGGRAPH and they said the egg was, for example, just a 2D asset.
@@hanaomer4419 it’s cheaper cus the pay VFX artists barely anything. And with the amount they demand, the quality isn’t as good.
One of the few extremely hyped movies that deserves _all_ the praise it got. I wouldn't let contrarians I know bash it for being popular before watching it, and when they did they loved it.
If the worst possible version of you is able to have a family where love is still present, and your biggest worries are common/mundane, then your collective existence must be living pretty good lives.
I can’t think of a more appropriate match up of Movie and Reactors- the chaos, the irreverent comedy, the sincerity and heart 💜
This is going to be incredible 🎉
I hope none of them have seen it yet so all 3 have a fresh reaction.
@@ericmicke4130 same here! But either way it’s going to be so much fun
The moment she realized Waymond was the key to her happiness, wheeewww, had me in tears. The whole movie she blames him and expects the worse out of him, she sees her life without him and immediately says it would’ve been better, just to realize he’s all she needs.
I've said this before, but this movie is my favorite film of the 2020s (so far). Its wildly imaginative and extremely heartfelt.
"Now I see why this movie has such acclaim."
He's saying this and he's still on part 1. That's how good this movie is!
I am so upset I didn't watch this in the theatre's. 💜
I actually watched it 🏴☠️home🏴☠️ twice then watched it in the theatre ❤ (and I'm really not a rewatcher, usually!)
THIS!! i just Know this movie would've been insane in theatres
Same, after hearing others talk about it I watched it a few months later and was like FUCK! Why didn't I go see this! I even had tickets queued up at one point for it and was like "Ehh don't feel like going out" lol. The next year I watched RRR and that was another I was mad I didn't go see in theaters. They became my 1 and 2 favorite movies of that year and that year had some good ass movies if I remember.
i watched it in theaters and it was crazy had me just as emotional as me watching this reaction.
@@dayanna901 I watched it at 🏴☠home🏴☠ as well, but by then it was no longer in theaters around me. I wish I'd seen it in theaters, because I wonder what the audience's reaction would have been... and if everyone else would have been crying like me 😅
With so many movies in this decade doing multiverse stuff, it was this movie that left it in the dust.
Ke Huy Quan literally left acting for decades, learned about the works of filming and stunt work, then came back with a most deserved oscar performance. And it was well overdue that Michelle Yeoh got her flowers; between being a Bond Girl, a martial arts master and an action star, she was the first Asian to win an Oscar for Best Actress. As much as Jamie Lee Curtis was great though, Stephanie Hsu (Joy) was robbed of the Supporting Actress Oscar from her fellow costar.
I agree 100% with everything you said. Jamie Lee Curtis was great, but Stephanie should have won that. I suspect Jamie mostly won because of name recognition, which sucks. Stephanie absolutely killed the role so hard it resurrected with hot dog fingers and built a bagel.
@@IceMetalPunkname recognition and legacy, as both her parents were past actors Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, and both Oscar nominees themselves
Edit: I do love Curtis’s performance but either Stephanie Hsu here or Angela Bassett in Wakanda Forever should have got it
Ke Huy Quan also stated that he didn't want to leave acting, it was just insanely hard to get a serious acting role as an Asian male actor.
I can't say enough about how wonderful everything about this movie is! Such a good reminder that the grass isn't always greener. Being where you are can be wonderful, if you pay attention.
And I love Jamie Lee Curtis, but Stephanie Hsu (Joy) was robbed of that Oscar. She's a revelation in this role.
Stephanie was more than a revelation and I can easily explain the problem, her role TRULY was not a supporting role- it was a lead role.
There were groups of people who were campaigning to get her nominated for supporting actress and when I say she just made it, she just made it. What they didn’t realize was that had they campaigned for her to get lead actress she would have made that category, she was only a few votes short. When an actress’ work is split between what people believe to be lead and supporting- they don’t win.
This young woman deserves the world, and she was extremely graceful throughout the entire awards season. She won with dignity and celebrated her co-stars with grace.
Stephanie definitely deserved an Oscar, but I'd put in the argument that Jamie Lee Curtis was due for one
@@zavodila9279 Due for one, yes--I definitely agree. But I wouldn't say for this role
I remember when I watched it with my mom for the first time, we got headaches after leaving the theater from the flashing lights and crying so much, it was completely worth it- it was an incredible experience!
The burner universe bit was when I knew this movie was going to be absolute genius. When he said "you can go left to your audit interview or right to the closset, go to the meeting" he was basically setting up a choice where there wasnt one before, causing a new split in the timeline
I love this movie more than words. They made it during COVID, the visual effects department was 9 people (including the directors) and the budget was $20 million. We should all be lucky enough to have a Waymond.
During the multiverse flash with the main character looking at the viewer for a spit second you can see all the people in a chatroom.
I now work for an animation studio (I didn't when I first saw this film), and just the other day, the team was talking about Blender and wondering whether anyone could make a decent movie using Blender instead of, say, Maya or Unreal (the tools we use). I was like, "...the VFX for Everything, Everywhere, All At Once were made in Blender, so... yes?"
Btw the guys with the "trophies" up they're butts are brothers and RUclipsrs IIRC. One of them plays Deathdealer in Shang Chi
I've heard they also choreographed most (if not all) the fight scenes as well!
"martial club" Andy and Brian Le. They choreographed the fights for both this and Shang chi
I watched this movie, with no idea what it was about, in my bedroom alone. I’m a young queer adult, and at the time I had been having a lot of struggles with my mother. With no exaggeration I spent almost the entire third act of this movie sobbing harder than I have at any movie in my entire teenage and adult life. It’s in my top three movies of all time. It’s just… utterly impossible to describe in a way that isn’t insane and yet is one of the most gut wrenching and heartfelt movies I’ve ever seen.
The movie was about overcoming generational trauma and the attitudes we put up with or excused just to placate our families. Especially the generational trauma of children of immigrant parents. I related so much with Joy’s character is it was all I ever wanted. To be able to just be myself in a world where my parents and grandparents and family were all burdened with traditions of our culture, unwilling to grow and just stagnating indefinitely.
1:07:58 a judges hammer is the most insane murder weapon and i love it
God, even after all this time it's still making me sob like a baby. Bagel/10, this is the greatest movie I've ever seen
🥯/10 for sure.
This is absolutely my favorite movie in recent years. Love the combination of the poignant with absurd.
BTW, alpha gong gong was not faking needing a wheelchair, he is just an ambulatory wheelchair user like many people. (People who can walk but have trouble due to disability and/or age and therefore it is easier for them to get around normally with a wheelchair)
I'm glad I caught someone wiping their eyes. This movie gets me every time. It's just so good/chaotic/funny/wholesome. Like they put all the awesome sauces in a blender and it somehow created a masterpiece.
I mean, think about it. Just try writing a brief explanation of this movie on paper. It shouldn't have been one of the best movies released that decade? If not top 50. And the budget/team was basically barebones. I think it was like 5 people on VFX team.
Like, even just the fannypack scene. "Ok... remember the kid that played Shortround in Indiana Jones? Imagine him in glasses and a fannypack at an IRS place. Security comes to confront the family and Waymond, the kid from Indiana Jones, (yes... Waymond, not Raymond) proceeds to eat some chapstick and push a button on a Bluetooth ear piece to learn Fannypack Kung-Fu Weaponry. He then fights the guards off ending with a stomp on the strap because the clip is in the last guard's nose and gets scorpioned on the ground face first."
I'd easily put this in the top 10. Everything was on point. Casting, costume, makeup, cinematography, a sprinkle of meta with a side of just the right amount of self-awareness, stunts, little details, story, googly eyes, and is yet so simple and grounded in a mostly real story about intergenerational trauma and familial and interpersonal relationships.
This movie is so divisive. 9 out of 10 people are sobbing by the end (me ✋), and then the 1 in 10 is just like, "that was dumb, I don't get it". Which I guess is good for them, because it means they've never experienced soul-crushing depression before to truly relate to the characters, so all they saw was butt plugs and hot dog fingers.
The ice in my gut when I realized that this movie that I was enjoying so much was gonna try to resolve Joy's suicidal thoughts, something I've personally had to work through, just filled me with dread. And then they didn't fuck it up. I was bawling. @@IceMetalPunk
@@IceMetalPunk I mean that's the difference of media literacy imo
@18:32 These are security guards, for the IRS. They're actual Federal Agents, not mall cops.
Saw this the opening weekend and I can indeed confirm that there was a lot of mumbling and shifting in seats in confusion when that first credit rolled up lol
It should have been a giveaway that it says "produced by Evelyn Quan" 😂
The movie star universe is a tribute to Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar-wai. Specifically his film In The Mood For Love. Ke Huy Quan, the actor who plays Waymond actually worked for him a bit after graduating from film school.
Love that Boom immediately pegged this movie as Albert Camus inspired, "Sorta Stupid" my ass!
Only sorta!
The sound effect they use when she uses her pinky in the fighting scene is the same sound as the home run bat from Super Smash Bros
Everytime it gets to Waymond’s part and Evelyn looks at him with so much love I start crying and then I don’t stop until the end of the movie
I can’t with this movie!! Keep playing with my emotions like a fiddle stick. It’s not even an emotional rollercoaster anymore it’s an emotional bungee jumping.
I don't remember where I read this, but it was said that all of Jobu Tupaki's makeup was done to intentionally make her look sad and anguished, like she was always crying. Hence the pearls and glitter for tears on her face and the literal tear during the end scene.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! Can't wait to bawl my eyes out again
Recommendations: Incredibles franchise, The Prince of Egypt and Mission Impossible
Sorta Stupid, I invite you to react to a new independent animation pilot: Dungeon Flippers. The equivalent of Helluva Boss, Lackadaisy Indie animation in terms of quality animation and storyline. It just was released a few days ago! It would be a wonderful support for them to continue the series!
saw it in theaters with my dad and im so happy we didnt wait for it to come on streaming. just the experience of it on a big screen, feeling every loud sound and walking out crying was amazing
Of all the movies that I have known over the years with crazy stories with crazy ideas, this takes the position for being the most insane, out of this world and trippy film I have ever seen. I remember watching the Oscars in that time and it won 7 out of 11 categories, Best Picture included and let me just say, they earned and deserved every single one of them. Michelle Yeoh for Best Actress, Jamie Lee Curtis for Best Supporting Actress and last, but not least, Ke Huy Quan for Best Supporting Actor. He surprised me the most because it was later on that I realized that he portrayed ShortRound in Indiana Jones as a boy and after being gone from the business for nearly 40 years, he blew everyone away with his performance. Since then, Quan has been appearing in more movies and TV shows, as well. As a matter of fact, if you guys go back to your reaction for Kung Fu Panda 4, he was Han the Pangolin; also making this his first time being a voice actor. With that being said, he has become an addition for my memory collection of actors and actresses who made a mark on me. If you’re interested in another Academy-award winning film, check out CODA or The Whale. These ones are bangers.
This movie taught me that when you see the pet pig, things are going to get crazy.
I usually don't like over hyped movies. So I avoided this for about a year. Then I finally watched it. It blew me away. Laughing, crying, and cringing all at once. There has never been a movie like this and probably never will be again. It has competition, but this may be one of my favorite movies of all times. And I do NOT say that lightly.
The best generational trauma/neurodivergent simulator out there ATM.
Engineered a lil family intervention using this a few months ago.
I see the actions they all "randomly" take as a representation of stimming, as they can sometimes not be understood by outsiders, but to the person doing the behaviour, it's their way of accessing a part of themselves.
Evelyn getting distracted constantly and not being able to follow through on dreams/tasks screams executive dysfunction/ADHD and the bagel seems to represent depression.
The underlying story of the mother/parents pushing their child so far that they "broke" them is common in most immigrant families, but especially prevalent in east Asian/Asian culture.
Glad you also enjoyed the comedy and fight scenes, the fight choreography being done by RUclipsrs/stunt men "martial club" who also did the fight choreography and stared in "Shang chi".
Brian and Andy Le are making it, and as a subscriber I'm happy to see it.
This film is so real. Evelyn being (meta)physically YANKED between universes is literally how it feels to be interrupted during ADHD hyper-focus. And doing something moderately uncomfortable like putting your shoes on the wrong feet or even completely impossible/unhinged like breaking your own arm is how it can feel struggling with executive dysfunction. Even with my time blindness, doing different tasks can honestly feel like I'm "verse jumping" because nothing exists outside of the Now, so when I'm stuck doing laundry/taxes my brain perceives it as the neverending laundry/taxes groundhog day from hell.
@@revangerang
Yup. I feel this. Or, you finally get started on that thing you either really want or need to do, and outside influences want to pull you away, and don't care/realise how much time/energy it took to get started in the first place 😅
@@alpachinko9154 Oh god yeah that combination is just the worst 😭
How in the world did you guys manage to keep the video up without censoring the dealdos HAHAHAHA
When I first saw this film I was disoriented in a really good way. Despite the frantic nature, it made sense. And thinking about it I realized (in my opinion) that this was one of the most brilliantly edited films I had even seen. And I stick to this today. I immediately knew this was an Oscar contender in that category and didn't know if it would clean up at the awards (which, thankfully, it did), but I vehemently thought it was a masterpiece of editing. Because the film would not have made sense otherwise. And to think it was made on a minuscule budget (1/10th the typical cost of a Marvel movie) with literally 5 guys on a laptop doing all the visual effects during the pandemic is a testament to real talent and creativity.
Ke Huy Quan is such a great actor man. Soo damm endearing.
"This is how I fight." I never connected with Waymond till then, then she told ne it was cause I was Waymond.
I was one if the best compliments I ever received!
I love the end credits music here. It's so powerful feeling and the message fits the movie perfectly, yet can be listened to separately. Also Mitski is always a W
As someone with ADHD this movie is wildly relatable.
As someone with anxiety and depression: same.
This came out around the same time as Multiverse of Madness, Disney could never do this if they tried
This is my second favorite movie of all time. Writer Daniel Kwan said they set out to write a movie about chaos and decided to make the main character have undiagnosed ADHD, which, for a woman who wasn't diagnosed until her 40s, hit SO HARD. So hard. So many dreams unrealized, so many times you're told you're just not trying, so many "other things" taking your interest from what you're trying to do. Beyond that, the themes are great. Intergenerational trauma, fighting with love, the nihilism bagel and depression and fighting it by holding onto those "few small specks of time" just. GAH. It should have won ALL the awards (ESPECIALLY COSTUMING! HOW DID IT NOT WIN THAT? THE ELVIS + PIG SHOULD HAVE WON BY ITSELF!) Anyway, this is my favorite movie to watch people react to because it's such an amazing rollercoaster mindfuck. First you're just trying to follow things; you feel the tension, you don't know where things are going to go. Then it's BATSHIT CRAZY. AND HILARIOUS. AND WEIRD. And then things start to tie together and you're still laughing (because they did a GREAT job of inserting levity where needed) but the emotional lessons start hitting you like a ton of bricks. It's wonderful. It's funny. It's thought-provoking. It's a profound ache. It's everything, everywhere, all at once.
I can't handle the hot dog fingers... I just can't, I just can't
This is my favourite movie even though it came out recently. Now you guys should watch "Lucy" next if you haven't! It kinda has a similar vibe.
All I think about with this movie is that it came out around Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness and everyone kept calling this the real Multiverse of Madness lol. Someone told me to take an edible before seeing this and was best idea - I think about this movie often, totally deserved Best Picture.
The guys: “ Butt plug? Why do I see a butt plug?”
Me: “ You’ll see why🤣🤣🤣🤣.”
"Because it's Chekov's butt plug, that's why!" Or, as someone else in another comment months ago once said, "it's Chekov's Texas wedding!"
My favourite live action movie ever , my favourite reactors, what could be better
Why specify live action
@@billbill6094 Because some of us have different favorites for animation. For me, this is my favorite live action movie, while the Spider-Verse films are my favorite animated movies -- and I can't choose between them.
Ke Huay Quan left acting because there weren't any enough asian representations, so until they released two movies that had a lot of asian representation that made history, Crazy Rich Asians and Shang Chi: The Legend of the Ten Rings so it made Ke Huay Quan to come back to acting.
This movie is WILD, it's so dumb, so funny, but so emotional and heartbreaking, and so.. interesting, it fuses the 3 things PERFECTLY
It also has on the top cinematografy
I remember when my partner and I went to see this in theaters, we didn't really know what it was about, just that it was good. We weren't prepared for what we experienced and I love this movie even more because of it. (probably helps that we didn't see any of the trailers for it)
This movie made me think of everything everywhere all at once, literally changed my life. Talented crew, actors, directors, editors, phenomenal movie
My favorite live action movie! And seeing you all cry... yeah. That's what this film does. And it's amazing. I'm glad you abridged Waymond's "be kind" speech or I'd be sobbing yet again from it (but instead I'm just slightly crying 😅). The beginning of the movie was supposed to feel like the overwhelming pressure of anxiety or ADD, and as someone with anxiety: it definitely succeeds at that, at least the parts that aren't outright fear. And as someone with depression (yay, comorbidity 😑), Joy's journey is... heartbreaking.
Somehow, there are people who actually don't get that it's about suicide. Jobu literally says, "I created the bagel to destroy myself" and "I wanted to see if I could really die"... and people still argue "it's not about suicide". Of fucking course it is. It's about depression and the numbness that comes with it; the feeling of nihilism when anything that should matter to you no longer does, and life speeds past you to leave you behind, so you figure "fuck it, I'm a failure, might as well disappear into the singularity".
But it's also about fighting that. It's about deciding that if nothing matters, then *you get to choose* what matters. And it's about urging us all to be kind, have empathy, and support each other, especially when the other person thinks nothing matters, because that's when they need us most.
...and now I've made myself cry. WTF even is this movie?
God I think I cried more at the end of this than I did when I originally watched it in theaters, such a good damn movie.
Yall shoot a gong when you predict the line?! Instant subscribe, thats hilarious
This movie was such a good experience in theaters I remember the audience into it I went to go see it like 10 more times each time bringing a different friend. Audience always had a great time. ❤
I showed this movie to my parents on Mother's Day; it wasn't intentional, but it turned out to be pretty relevant regardless, lol
Fun fact! Gong Gong means "maternal grandfather" in Mandarin so he's definitely her dad (which becomes obvious later, of course). The word for paternal grandfather is Ye Ye.
Y'all need to watch *The Good Place*. Hilarious, poignant, and with some incredible philosophy underpinning it all.
id say yes but alot would go over their heads n then the long tangents that would arise from chidis talks
@@thedernboy Tangents are just another way for the reactors to be for a little while.
Simply put, it’s some of the best emotional whiplash we’ll get to experience in a film 😂
Oh my gosh, I cried so hard during this movie lmao- super cool to see y’all watch it :D
This is my favorite movie of all time!
ITS LIKE YOU ALL READ MY MIND WHAT- Seriously though THIS IS AWESOME!!!
I wished my mom talked to me like how Evelyn spoke to her daughter afterwards. My mom is super strict. And everyone needs a Waymond in their life.
Also respect to James Hong. He is also voice of Kungfu Panda Po's Goose Dad Ping.
Also love Jamie Lee Curtis too
Every time I see this movie I need to go hug my mom.
Besides being Short Round in Indiana Jones, Key Huy Kuan was also Data in The Goonies.
And OB in Loki season 2.
Gotta be honest. Did not expect Boom to reference Camus. Nice job, dude.
You can’t imagine how surprised I was to see this video. My favorite reactors watching my favorite movie!🎉🎉🎉
46:30 Raccacooni's tail is sticking out the hat, how did I miss that?
I went to see this movie on a whim with my girlfriend at the time, not knowing anything about it beforehand. I've never left a theater feeling more like my life had changed from a movie. It was such an experience that I'll cherish forever.
Another language and culture based thing to note, calling people fat in Chinese is not really an insult. I used have an interest in learning Chinese (I don't have the time anymore) and this was something native speakers would always point out. Chinese as a language is much more blunt than English, and not as specific. Few languages are as specific as English, but especially script based languages instead of phonetic languages are like this. In English we combine letters to make words to make sentences that get our ideas across but in script based languages a lot of the speech is the equivalent of a metaphor. Like Boom said, context based, so a word surrounded by other words means sometime completely different, and what might appear to be an idiom is just the only way to get such an idea across.
A Chinese parent telling you're getting fat is not meant to necessarily bodyshame you. A lot of Eastern cultures like food and to feed their loved ones, it's a way of showing concern for you eating habits because they care about you and want you to eat well. And not in the fake way fat phobic people say it to just be mean to fat people, they actually mean it.
Cultural context changes so much. I'm from an English speaking country myself and in my country, especially telling a woman that she's gotten big or "put on size" is a compliment. I didn't grow up with the thigh gaps of the west, having a big butt and thick thighs was ALWAYS the beauty standard here so meant to point out maturing and you getting curves and stuff. When your aunty who hasn't seen you since you were 5 sees you at 16 and says "watch size you put on" (essentially, look how fat you got) they mean to say you're growing into a woman. My great grandma actually said that about me the other day now that I think about it, lol.
In that moment she couldn't say "I love you" but that was her trying.
Chekhov's but plug . . . This movie is one of the best ever! Everyone did such an amazing job. Such one to watch along with you guys.
I've seen this movie a few times by now and I was still crying my eyes out with you guys 😂
Also: My native language is bengali and is also gender neutral. I love how simple it makes things lol.
I saw this with my boyfriend in theatres, and I think it hit both of us kind of hard in different ways. We didn’t know what to expect but it honestly surpassed all expectations-
Big Trouble in Little China IS the best!.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is another favorite of mine in this same sort of genre.
My take away from the commentary is that Big Trouble In Little China needs a reaction, stat!
I still love the fact that most of what is happening in this movie is in the IRS building. A place truly evil.
My younger brother sat me down and asked me to watch this and tell him what I think at the end, with no concept of what the movie was about.
Understanding this movie is easier if you learn that in a slightly earlier version of the script both Joy and Evelyn have ADHD. Arguably they still do in this version, it's just not talked about.
Knowing that, there's a very real interpretation that nothing in the film is real other than the wrapping scenes at the beginning and end. Or it's all real. It was originally meant so you could accept that either explanation could be true.
I've always thought this is THE generational trauma/neurodivergent simulator people need to see
This is my absolute favorite movie! I love it so much.
My mom brought me and my dad to see this in theatre saying it was a marvel movie (turns out she meant that it was LIKE a marvel but then again very wrong). So I went in expecting a light fun superhero movie and instead got this masterpiece of a film. I don’t think any movie affected me quite as much as this and the fact that I had zero expectations just made it that much more incredible.
love this movie, it is so weird to sincere and not afraid to just throw every convention to the curve and yet stay understandable
You guys should watch the birdcage, since its free on youtube at the moment. Its a great movie with Robin Williams. Plus its a good month to watch it
i just love this movie so much , it might be my favorite. The action, comedy and message are just on point in everyway
I watched this movie on acid, and man what a trip...
Fun fact: the guy that Evelyn gags, is one of the co-directors.
I still wonder if he wrote that into the script to fulfill one of his personal fantasies. Like, "how do I get Michelle Yeoh to spank me? ...wait, I'm writing the script, she can do whatever I want!" 😂
YES!! This is my absolute favorite film of all time. Excited to see y'all's reaction!!!
The point of the movie is basically nihilism.
Joy going into the bagel was like an Universal suicide. Since she sees everything, see everything and felt everything ALL AT ONCE. She realised that nothing matters, whatever she did...or didn't do....across the vast multiverse...nothing will equate to anything. That's why she wanted peace by dying.
That's also why Evelyn let her go the firts time. Because THAT specific universe Evelyn...was the WORST Evelyn across the multiverse, every choice she made was a wrong choice...every choice she didn't tske branched out into a successful or better life. That's why she understood why Joy wanted to end it all. Because even she herself doesn't enjoy her life.
But with flashbacks of her husband and her daughter....she realised that even though everything went wrong and they weren't happy. NOTHING matters. As in, even though they may have nothing..even though they may be the worst version of themselves...it still matters.
And she convinced Joy that...there may be some universe out there where they were less pieces of shyt...a universe where everything is right and they were happy. She will still chise THAT universe, the one where all is wrong...the one where she was the worst version of herself because even THAT universe matters because NOTHING matters. She will still choose that universe and want to be with her daughter... and will ALWAYS want to be with her.
And that was all Joy ever wanted to hear....because she wanted someone to tell her that life's worth living. Hence...why she went looking for Evelyn in every universe.
Evelyn convinced her that Nothing...was still worth living
Can't wait! I love this film.
Hope you do more Michelle Yeoh films in the future. Police Story Supercop, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Heroic Trio, Magnificent Warriors.
6 minutes into this and I know one thing. Those who have not seen Big Trouble in Little China must pay.
