![Be Kind scene | Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) [HD]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/YEg4gylAIk8/mqdefault.jpg)
Akwafina had to drop out of the production of filming, where she was to play Evelyn’s daughter, because of scheduling conflicts with this film & her role in SHANG CHI….I’m actually happy that happened, because Stephanie Hsu playing Joy was a breath of fresh air. I feel Akwafina would have been too much of a visual comic relief disaster as, Stephanie’s sweetness & innocence made the role much more likable in this instant.
Funnily enough, Stephanie Hsu was also in Shang Chi (as was Michelle Yeoh and Andy Le) but presumably they didn't have their filming clash with Everything Everywhere All at Once.
She would have killed the movie for me
Stephanie Hsu killed it & should have won Oscar ahead of JLC
@@chewiewins I was surprised about that too. I thought Hsu played her part really well. I think JLC was more shock factor than anything
@@jessehcreative typical Hollywood rewarding JLC for all past previous works than just this movie. Hope Stephanie Hsu will win her own in time to come
I absolutely adore that despite not knowing what Jobu wants, he actually answers it in his line. "In every universe she's looking for you." She wants her mom.
Pls tell me I’m not the only person who cried at the end when Eric was talking about his mom, that’s such a loving story and it really shows why Eric has poured so much passion into these kinds of videos for all the years we’ve loved them.
As a kid of immigrant parents, with the same language barrier. I fell into that void for a while where the gap seemed impossible to fill. Been trying to put effort into the familial relationships more lately. Then this movie hit and I never felt more seen in my life. Cried the whole time walking home from the theater. Cried basically every time I see a clip. Didn't get a third of the way through this before I started crying again.
I cried during this movie many times lol
Dude.... if someone didn't cry they are sociopathic
Crying now 😭😭
Seeing voss be called by his actual name shouldn’t feel so weird lol
This analysis was awesome. Loved the recurring examples of the "employee first, family second" mindset from Evelyn!
this is the Obama giving Obama a medal meme
@@calamansipapi amen
@@calamansipapi I like to assume the best and figure a different NR employee wrote this comment to compliment Voss...
@@calamansipapi 100% accurate i was thinking the same thing lmfao
Erik Voss from alternative channel dimension praising himself on this one?
It wasn’t addressed in the breakdown, but as someone with a severe mental illness who has contemplated suicide, I feel like that was a big component of the mother-daughter relationship. The daughter seemed to be dark, spiraling, drowning. Looking to her mother for help, for love, for acceptance, for anything that could bring her back from the brink. When I watched this movie, as a parent I sobbed because that’s what my interpretation was. A child desperately reaching out to her parent for help.
I feel like joy was reaching out for help but in the more realistic sense of wanting a positive relationship and real breakthrough with her mother. She never listened to her, and even as shes growing up (assumed ~18) moving out and fmforming new relationships shes trying to make this make sense and this movie uses scifi and a mega bagel to convey that importance.
Yes! I mean Alpha!Waymond outright says she's looking for Evelyn (though he misunderstands her intentions). And Evelyn herself mentions it at the end: "Something that explains why you still went looking for me through all of this noise."
She's just looking for her Mama. That's all. For her Mama to help her, and understand her. 🥲
As someone who does feel depression, I feel like we think a lot about another life where we live without depression, but the fact that she went through every multiverse and feel like there is nothing to live for, but then found what matters, this is every empowering.
@@nelsondnazariotorres8732 I just watched it again and although I do agree she wants a better, happier relationship with her mother, she’s way past that point. I think the idea of the bagel destroying everything was an allegory for her own death destroying her mother’s universe. The rock scene illustrates this really well.
One small detail that I loved was the fact that the googly eyes were a reverse coloration of the bagel. They are representing finding the good in "nothing matters" vs finding the bad. When Evelyn puts one on her forehead, its not only a nod to opening ones third eye and seeing the truth, it is also a reversal of the black circle Jobu's followers wore on their foreheads.
In the first shot, there's a pair of eyes above the mirror reflecting the family in karaoke (the mimic of someone else's performance), but they are static, metal, cold - much like the bagel that is cold and gray. The googly eyes are light, clear, and kinetic, and even at the third-eye position, are dynamic and fun, in direct contrast to the bagel.
This actually ties into the Yin and Yang, where Yin (shown in the bagel) represents femininity (Jobu Tupaki/Joy), darkness, and absorption (how the bagel is a constant force of absorbing), while Yang (shown in the Googly eyes) represents masculinity (Waymond), light, and life (how the googly eyes give life to everything in Evelyn’s life)
This movie is amazing. My wife and her family are immigrants from Macedonia and my inlaws run a nice little grocery store in Rochester, NY - and this movie really helped me to understand them as well as my wife's ability to remain perpetually positive throughout any situation we've ever faced. I was the Evelyn and she is my Waymond. And this movie just flipped so many things for me, it hit so close to home - like eerily close. I love it so much. The Daniels, Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, Stephanie Hsu, everybody involved with this film deserves all the awards.
When I come home to visit CANANDAIGUA I am so going to come and visit your in-laws amazing grocery store!! I cannot wait to watch this movie with my girlfriend in due time!
Other movies have made me laugh harder, others have made me cried more, but never have I done so much of both in the span of a single film. This analysis made me appreciate it even more.
Am I the only one who cried when Waymond was giving his whole speech at the end of the film. I don’t what it was but it was so emotional for me, I absolutely loved his character and when he was giving his speech and Evelyn was being all powerful and evil, I just felt bad for Waymond.
Many, many of us cried during that too. Ke Huy Quan left everything on the stage. Incredible
Waymond was the actual hero of the film
A movie masterpiece analysed in a masterclass.
I’m as impressed with this breakdown as i was with the movie. Mad respect all around.
Ugh, this is probably my favorite movie of the last few years. Voss breaking it down how it moved him as well was just magic. Thank you for this. Just like the movie it made me laugh & cry. Just brilliant.
Same!
"There are no bad movies, just interesting ones. Somewhere out there in the multiverse, someone appreciated it, and I don't wanna take that away from them"
Thank you, honestly this is my sentiment with films and shows and stuff like that these days.
I come out of movie theatres and already hear people talking shit about the film and I'm just like.. "Dude! Do you have to jump right into nitpicking every single aspect of this film? Do you gotta be so miserable?"
It feels like im the only person in the world who can watch a film that has flaws and still enjoy it.
like Quantumania, its flawed, its not perfect, i wish they did stuff differently but i STILL LOVE IT
yet there has been so much negativity around it, and even though its faceless or sometimes even facefull people on the internet who wont ever meet me, it's still another human almost taking away and putting down something I enjoy.
I know a lot of other people also like Quantumania so im not gonna say im the only one, but still, I see so much negativity about stuff about media these days and I'm just like.. Can't we appreciate art for art? Why do we have to judge it through a lens of predetermined structures? Why limit creativity?
That's why I appreciate your content so much, I feel like you understand and see media and art the same way I do.
Even if you didn't enjoy a movie or book or show.. real people were behind it, people put their heart and soul into the art.
Art is Art, whether you like said Art or not, I think there should be some level of.. not respect but more so appreciation. Even a bad film can be enjoyed
It's like the message in The Menu, all these patrons readily critiquing and taking for granted the effort to make the final product.
I hear ya. I don't let nostalgia mess with my ability to enjoy more stories and see everything as its own thing. In truth, I think I've only watched two movies that my brain just said, "no, it's not watchable. Stop before you hate everything." One after 20 minutes of struggling, and the other I got through it and thought, "well that was a thing people did. At least they did a thing." It's hard for me to not like a movie. It's more like "once is enough" because it doesn't hit my rewatch-ability button. Hell, I'm definitely the nerd type that will sit and listen to the commentary of entire series. I've been listening to the Red Dwarf commentaries on my phone just doing stuff around the house. xD
That's how I feel I can enjoy a bad movie cause I like to do a rewrite of that movie and do different things. It's always very fun to do so.
I also agree art is art as long as it reaches for some kind of truth - that's why people appreciate art differently because one person might see a different truth in a piece of art from the next person. That's why some of it can hit home so strongly for you and leave the next person cold.
Thank you Erik I have the same attitude towards movies like youw
Just an excuse for overrated MCU. Yet if it was DC U that made any error or mistakes people be like it's trashy movie from the start when it's not.
Holy crap you actually broke down all 69 of the Evelyn's in that rapidfire section. Now that's a deep dive! Awesome breakdown! I loved this movie so much and you helped me appreciate aspects I didn't even see before!
Discovering this channel 6 years ago was legitimately the best thing that happened to me on RUclips. I can't tell you how hard it is to find deep diving breakdowns and non clickbait-surface level stuff. At the end of the day, cinema is an art deemed to be cherished and a subject matter to be respected, and my favourite thing is to watch people preaching their love to movies the same way I want them to be admired. You guys have nailed it from the beginning, and I'm really excited for what's next! I'll never be thankful enough for your mom driving you to the theatre Erik
Me too... I found newrockstars and Eric voss three years ago.. and it's the best thing happened to me too 🔥❤️
That part about your mom hit hard. I lost my mom a couple of months ago and I can’t stop crying but that part made me feel better in a way. You may not read this directly but I wanted to say thank you.
Deep dive Deja Vu. It’s one of my favorite movies.
I struggled a little explaining why this movie is just one of the best things I've ever watched, I just couldn't find the words on why it was so deep, so beautiful, and so meaningful to me, I never find the words, but Erik did it masterly, and it shows how much he authentically loved it. He doesn't only pointed out the little details that make a movie not great, but almost perfect, but he also talks on the deeper meanings and relations to real life, HIS real life. Amazing, real 11/10.
I've seen this movie a few times and each time it makes me sob uncontrollably. But you've put it in an even deeper perspective for me, especially when you showed the bagel next to that opening shot. How powerful! And thank you for sharing about your mom, it truly is the power of movies ❤️
It’d probably be a little different, but I’d love to see a deep dive of Bo Burnham’s ‘Inside’
Also, Eighth Grade
Your analysis at the end about the "everything" and the real life examples you used with your mom was touching man. Reminded me of how my grandma was there for me as a kid. Really appreciated that and appreciate your positive out look on all movies. I'm a huge fan, keep doing you bro!
These videos have been awesome! Thank you for the quality and passion you've put into each.
I can’t tell you how much I’m loving this! I could watch you analyze literally anything and be enthralled. And I truly love your approach of finding the interesting things in every movie and not shaming people who enjoy things. After all, art is subjective. Choosing not to be negative is not the same as pretending a movie is perfect. I think you’re finding a fantastic balance. Keep up the outstanding work! This truly seems like a labor of love for you and I love getting to be a part of it on this end.
RUclips didn't notify me! Still managed to find it! Great video
Congrats on the new channel Eric! Your good vibes and enthusiasm for movies brings joy to so many on a daily basis. Couldn't make it through a shift at work without you (luckily I work from home so I can listen to videos all day). The time, attention to detail, care and passion you put into your work are appreciated. Blessings to you brother, be well
I loved your analysis Eric! What really hit home was your conclusion that the message of this film is that happiness is a choice. That is a philosophy that I came to realize in my own life within the last few years. During my teen years I was very similar to Joy and for a time in my late 20's I was similar to Evelyn. Once I realized that I could choose to be happy and learned to cherish it, I became more like Waymond. It's nice to see this portrayed on screen and I'm glad to see you acknowledging that message in this Deep Dive. Looking forward to future videos on this channel!
Watching this and get watery eyes can only mean one thing to me: that this movie as well as your analysis are truly great. I'm grateful for having found and enjoy both of you!
This was an amazing review Eric I’m very glad you began the channel with this
I’ve been waiting for a video like this since I saw the movie & this makes me want to go run and rewatch this great movie again. And then you ended on such a beautiful story, which I think shows why we all connect to you & your videos over the years. I’m so excited for this channel to get more content like this ❤
This definitely highlighted a lot of things I had not put much thought into, even after watching about 20 reactions and breakdowns already. Thanks for taking the time. Good luck with this new channel. Great job.
Thank you Erik - for always knocking it out of the park!! I love your videos for their analytical details, presented in an easily understandable way, with enthusiasm and fervor (regardless of what's going on behind the scenes). A true professional!! 💯😃👍
Please don't stop making content on this channel. Erik Voss and his breakdowns are the only reason why I'm even using RUclips
Erik you are a true gem when it comes to breaking down movies. Loved you on New Rock Stars loving your content on Deep Dive... Keep blessing us with your presence :)
Loving this channel so far, stoked for this one!
This is already my favorite channel on RUclips. Thank you so much!
Eric (if I may call you Eric!), I have always loved your positivity about all the geek stuff you talk about. I am a life long Doctor Who fan and finding the "interesting" side of any episode is something I have always tried to do! And it is extremely hard to find your equal when it comes to the multitude of 'analysts' of that show! This was another excellent video and the personal message about your Mum at the end was lovely! Please keep finding the joy and interesting in everything you do. It (along with the vast amount of time you put into these!) is HUGELY appreciated!
Wow! I think I am REALLY going to like this channel! This was one of my favorite breakdowns you have done! (I have watch tons of your stuff)
Thanks for the work you put in to this one. And the personal aspects you showed us!
😍
Didn't know what to expect from this channel after jumping over from New Rockstars, but after this deep dive into my all time favorite movie, I'm loving it! Great video Erik, can't wait to see more
This film pretty much instantly became my favourite of all time; glad to see it getting so much love
It makes sense that my new All-Time favorite movie is now my All-Time favorite New Rockstars video. Thank you Erik and the NR crew.
Amazing videos Eric. I'm so glad you're giving us deeper, more in depth film analysis. Thank you!! This is truly important for these amazing films/tv content
So good, really enjoying the video essay format. The passion for understanding how the movie is made and the themes the movie is trying to convey is shown so well here. Thank you helping me appreciate this movie on a deeper level.
This was so beautiful, Eric. Thank you. Loved the ending when you talked about your mom and reevaluating criticism.
I’m already loving this channel!! Great job as always!!!
Michelle Yeoh’s unique and bravura performance in this utterly amazing film “Everything Everywhere All At Once” makes you have a kind of glimpse behind the fabric of life as we know it. And there it was on the big screen. Stunningly depicted every moment of it. It was mesmerizing! 😊
Love you and your Deep Dives, Erik! Watching this made me realize I completely missed the meaning of this movie. A second viewing by me is definitely needed. And thanks for sharing such beautiful memories of you and your mom with us. Looks like she's the reason you're such a wonderful person!
finally a real deep dive! Me trying to find someone who showed all the different Evelyns was impossible until today, thank you! This is a fantastic movie i hope they win an Oscar as they predicted.
Damn that was THE BEST ANALYSIS I've seen . Can't wait for more videos. The end of this video really brought it home for me.
Found a new favorite channel! Excited to watch
Thank you for being so positive and wholesome. I really enjoy your content because it's heartfelt, personal and passionate, when others might seem like they're just parts and cogs in the Media Machine. I can never turn away from your content when you upload because I simply love your work, keep at it, please!
This such a great breakdown! Thank you Erick you have brought many years of Joy and entertainment to us! I truly look forward to all your videos.
I knew i was going to watch every single video on this channel . Loved this video.
It truly feels like the most personal and important video for Eric through all "first pack" release. I'm very glad we see this movie in the same way. It's so great on so many levels. Livechanging, truly
This was SO worth the wait. Thank you New Rockstars, thank you Eric, and thank you Eric’s mom!
Amazing video, Eric
Thank you.
I love love love this analysis. It's the video I was most anticipating from your launch vids. Your dives always help me to appreciate these works on a much higher level
It's amazing how detailed and analytical this is. Thank you for your effort!
I don't usually comment, but just wanted to acknowledge the tremendous work you put in this video (and all the others). I'm a big fan of your breakdowns.
WOW!!! What an opening for this channel! I've always enjoyed your details in all of your breakdowns. Now I need to go back and watch this movie. Congratulations on your excellent channel!
Awesome job Voss and squad! Recently watched this movie in preparation for this Deep Dive and all the deserved hype it was getting. This breakdown made me appreciate it's uniqueness even more.
Beautiful analysis Erik and the team! I'm really excited for the future of this channel!
@EAVoss @TheDeepDive I know you focus on the root myth of each movie, do you think down the road you will also look at movies through a critical lens such as captialism or racism?
Keep it up eric! Loving these videos !!
Wow, thank you! Amazing work per usual! Always looking forward to your next piece!
This movie is an absolute masterpiece, and your breakdown was incredible. I love your marvel breakdowns, but I've been looking forward to this for awhile.
The part at the end, talking about your trips with your mom hit me way harder than I was expecting so thanks for that. I love.movies for similar reasons.
Thank you for everything you do.
Loving this channel so far! Great stuff! 😸
Eric your breakdown videos are the reason I'm so passionate with the MCU and now your new passion is bringing to the surface how much I love film and story telling in general. I wish there was a way for me to be involved in all of this. Great stuff.
Edited : Also I discovered your videos shortly after moving to France from the US, where my daughter was born shortly thereafter. It hasn't been easy for me so this video and movie hit home in different ways. Thank You again.
I think I might already like this channel more. You get to really see his passion shine through. Thanks for what you do!
Hey Eric !
Thanks for creating this new channel and deep diving for us.
As if you had enough sleep already ^^ (but seriously, take care of you, man ! We love you, so don't forget to take care of yourself).
And thanks a lot for covering what was arguably the best movie of last year (which is saying a lot, in a year that gave us an insane list of insane movies like The Batman, The Northman, Turning Red, Top Gun Maverick, Nope, The Menu, Avatar 2, and Puss in Boots 2 the Last Wish !). It's extremely rare for me to rewatch a movie even twice in a row... and I went to watch EEAAO in theaters 6 times ! The first one solo (and got blown away !), the second one solo as well (just to confirm my first viewing wasn't a dream), then each following time, showing it to different friends and family each time. And even long after its theatrical run was over, I still watched it twice again after moving back to Taiwan, one to show it to my best friend on the island, and finally to my mom, who didn't quite got it but still liked it. This movie is my everything bagel (it sucked me in !)
So when you announced that the first Deep Dive video would be of this movie, I very much looked forward to it, and it didn't disappoint !
That was a fantastic breakdown !
Also, as a chinese descendant myself, I just wanted to point out a little tidbit that mostly only chinese people might have seen : the everything bagel is black, with a white hole in it. The googly eyes are white circles with a black dot in it. These are actually directly symbolizing the duality between the yin and the yang ! The bagel being Yin (darkness, water, cold, death, feminine essence...) And it is the symbol of Jobu Tupaki. The Yang energy is the polar opposite, light, warmth, fire, life, male essence...) and it is the symbol of Waymond. They are basically Evelyn's little devil and angel on her shoulders, in a constant tug of war to get her towards their viewpoint of life, and in the end, Evelyn chooses a third path : her own, right in the middle (you can see her at the begining of chapter 2 Everywhere hesitate and trying to decide where to put her circled receipt, and end up fracturing the screen by choosing both left and right, and at the begining of Chapter 3 All At Once, she just calmly put it in the middle of the frame) ! By choosing the center, she's basically embracing the nihilism of Jobu, but also combining it with the kindness of Waymond, thus combining both Yin AND yang, becoming a full circle of Taiji herself, therefore reaching cosmic balance, becoming the most powerful being in the multiverse (and possibly in the history of filmmaking !)
This movie is just insane !
The Daniels apparently just won the best director award at the Directors ceremony, besting even Steven Spielberg for the Fabelmans, and I can't wait to see if they're gonna snatch the Best director and/or Best picture Oscar as well. Nobody has ever done a movie quite like this one before in the history of cinema, and I'm really rooting for them to get the recognition they deserve !
This is one of my favorite video of yours Erik great work!
Best of luck to you for this channel, going good so far!
I was looking for New Rockstars video on this movie, luckily I found the new channel.
Good luck for the future on the new Channel, always have been impressed with your videos ✌️👍
Erik Voss is the hero I need but don’t deserve. This breakdown was a thoughtful and elegant work of art. I am so excited every time I hear “Hi I’m Erik Voss”. Beautiful video essay. I’m a grown man and this moved me to tears…and by “grown man” I actually mean “a kid who aged into an adult body”
Can’t wait for more Deep Dives. Thanks for putting this into the world!
I’m gonna need a Deep Dive from this Deep Dive Episode! 😅 I need to rewatch this, so much detail 😍 The art and passion behind finding meaning on all these tittles and the perfect cadence that always ends your videos is what I’m here for. Keep geeking out and taking extra space, we are here for it, you are seen and appreciated and we live for this little bits of JOY. Thank you! …now about other movie titles to deep dive…S7VEN, Swiss Army Man, What Dreams May Come, Source Code, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Babel, The Hitchickers Guide to the Galaxy, The Truman Show, Constantine….. I can keep going😅
I really love this new channel so far.
I'm in a dark place right now but I never thought that a review of a movie would help me a bit to go through things. Thanks, Eric! Great insight!
Why did I cry during this movie and this Deep Dive....Great job as always!!
Beautiful analysis. Especially the understanding surrounding the positive message around the mother daughter relationship. Well don, Eric and team DD.
32:57
Dude, your breakdowns are not only fun, entertaining, and eye opening…. They are great introspective guides to learn about ourselves. Thanks for doing them.
Another cool example of finding “specs of joy” is Pam’s last interview from the American office series. There is truly beautiful things that can be found in the ordinary.
You are a master of your craft sir. I love how you break down things and make them relatable.
Amazing analysis of the movie. You had me teary eyed at the last portion of the video.
Loving the new channel🙏🏾
So good! Had to wait till I caught the movie to watch this one in support of the new channel, absolutely nailed it as always. Thank you for what you do Voss. You bring me chosen Joy weekly
Oh my got I’m here for it
Thanks for the channel ❤
Awesome time watching this! Super excited to see what you do next!
I love that outro music, it’s so mesmerizing
Great video. Great new channel
Such a great movie, great job on the analysis. Love all the background information you provide in these vids.
subscribed! congrats on the new channel!
That was a LOT of work to gather all those details and assemble them. Wow. Thank you for ALL of your insights.
Your passion and appreciation for the content you review is amazing. I get excited anytime I see a EV breakdown . Even if I'm not familiar with the content .
Ahhh so excited about this channel
Thank you so much for your insightful breakdown and commentary.
It really helped me understand the nuances of the film, and I am grateful as yours was one of the few that I’ve seen that really encompass the heart of the movie!😃
Your observation & explanation of EEAAO is simply amazing!! Thank y
awesome work Eric waiting for more cool Deep Dive's ❤️
Love your conclusions at the end of this video. Thank you for letting us in ❤️
By far this has been the best analysis of this movie that I’ve watched, thank you Eric Voss you helped me to understand why this movie touched me in ways I had trouble expressing. Brilliant masterclass in movie analysis.
This is an amazing and moving analysis. Thank you!
I would love to see you take a deep dive into 1985's Clue. I love discussing which ending is most plausible and analyzing each murder. It's also just an amazing comedy.
This is an amazing analysis filled with an indepth explanation of my favorite movie from 2022 and a heartfelt personal story. Thank you!
You rock so hard. What a great, thoughtful analysis pulled together through a humanist, loving gaze. Thanks! : ) Marc
Great analysis 👍
Super bravo on this deep dive! Wow, so much work and brilliant insights! I am so mad you brought up a few details I thought only I had seen, so I can't no longer claim them as my own findings. I have to point out, however that in the philosophical approach you missed a little something: it felt like you focused the core of the meaning only on the bagel, the nihilistic part, the "nothing matters" represented by Jobu, the empty circle. But there is a literal yin-yang, with the googly eye, the filled circle, where all choices matter and create new life paths, the existentialist counterpart, which makes all this chaos fall into place. Thank you.
Great video, loved that bit at the end about your mother too!
