No armies of 100 VFX artists from 10 studios each. No MCU or DC waste of money on VFX. Goes to show how clever, concise writing can be just as effective (or even more so) as films that cost 10 times more.

    So I have a friend who is almost physically incapable of shutting up during movies. It’s hard to watch anything with her, even though I know it’s not an act of malice where she wants to be annoying- she just always has a lot to say about every little thing and can’t help herself! Anyway, one day I watched this movie, and of course I LOVED it. Some time later, me and the friend I mentioned were trying to figure out what to do while we were hanging out. So I said, “hey, we should watch EEAAO! I think you’ll really like it.” She said “oh, yeah, sure, we can watch it again!” To which I was like, “wait, what do you mean again?” And she responded, “I mean, I was there with you when we first watched it together, remember?” And, yeah, that’s when I remembered that she was, indeed, sitting right next to me while we watched it that first time. That’s when it clicked for both of us: she was SO ENRAPTURED by the movie when we first watched it that *she didn’t say a word the entire time, and I FORGOT SHE WAS THERE.* So yeah, TLDR, you know a movie is good when it manages to get your friend who never stops talking during movies to shut up and pay attention. As prestigious an award as “my dad watched the whole thing without falling asleep halfway through.”

The second I heard it I knew that was how I feel about my fiancee, and even before she got to see it, it was a line I quoted to her (without spoiling the context). When she finally saw the movie too, she understood immediately and it's since become a go to for us to express our love.

    Yeah, seriously. So much in life is terrible, because being kind, or at least fair, isn't standard practice for everyone. A small subset of the population taking advantage of good things, ruining or at least unnecessarily limiting it for everyone else. Take the internet for example. It is such a powerful thing, but consider how much better it would be if we didn't have to be careful about security, or worry about people deliberately spreading misinformation just to further some profitable or political agenda. But no, we have people hacking and social engineering people into losing their savings, and companies that promote fearmongering clickbait for views, and so much more. There are passion projects that get ruined because of some legal technicality or other. The expression 'this is why we can't have nice thing' exists for a reason, unfortunately.

Their ability to perfectly show the life so many people are living right now. A life where we have everything at your finger tips, aka the internet, its overwhelming. Joys is probably the perfect example of what so many young people are going through right now. Theyre overwhelmed with the absolute onslaught of content that is the internet, and they struggle to connect with their parents that just don't understand their experience.

Seeing him just be so optimistic and so caring, is just so heart warming but it gets me in the guts because the way he finds joy in the little things or even in times where most people would be negative he is impossibly postitive! Its so inspiration in a way, the way he just celebrates everything, better yet with his loved ones.

    No joke, Waymond is the type of person I aspire to be, up to an extent. I often fail, but I continue to strive to be that way. Some of the proudest moments in my life were when I was kind and loving when others weren't. And when everything about a situation seemed to be pointing to inevitable violence, but I was able to de-escalate, while not being a pushover.

    I watched it, twice. Rewatched it just to make sure I did not miss anything In both times, total letdown. Complete and utter waste of an interesting premise. Only people with down-to-earth view on life would consider it any noteworthy. One simply cannot advocate for frugality and acceptance in a realm of infinite possibilities, some objectively better in any and every possible way than others. People really have hard time grasping concept of infinity, it seems. This movie considers not “some”, not “plethora”, but ALL possibilities. That does not go well with moral teachings of acceptance or meaning or purpose, trivially.

From Michelle Yeoh's witheld turmoil turned shakey confidence, to Ke Huy Quan's timidness turned charm if any performance felt like a soap opera than the heartfelt absurdism would be lost. Remember, they have to make everything from eating chapstick to scrambling papers everywhere all appear organic and natural at once.

    I know the film touched (I'm assuming) the hearts of everyone who watched it, but as an Asian myself, this film hit doubly different... Mostly because that's almost literally how my parents were throughout my life. It took us all a long time realise we were all accidentally hurting one another simply because we love each other but didn't really know how to express it. It's still a work in progress, but now, every time my mom tells me I need to eat more because I'm a growing boy (despite being in my 30's and not having lived with my mom for over a decade now), I just sit down, grab a plate and have some of mom's cooking even though she can't cook for sh*t (our dad's the one who knows how to cook in the house. Seriously, dude can turn a fried egg into a meal fit for a god). Eat your mom's cooking while you can people! You never know when it'll be the last time you get to do so.

    What always hits me is that Jobu falls into the begel, a representation of depressive nihilism, the despair event horizon, Something you're not meant to be able to come back from, After falling she reaches out and is pulled back from it. Anybody with serious depression can feel like they've fallen too far and that they can't recover but here we're shown that accepting the help others offer can pull you free from that place Also something I've never seen mentioned: People point out how Evelyn placing the googly eye, the opposite of the begal, on her forehead is a sign of her enlightment of optimistic nihilism, and that all the followers of Jobu put the begel on their forehead, the begel being their enlightment. But Jobu's hair being the begel shows that the begel ISN'T her englightment, it's above her head not on it, and a sign that while she may talk about accepting the begel she actually hasn't, which is why she's looking for a version of Evelyn that can relate to her

    03:17 there is actually a hidden meaning in this interaction. In china (and eastern countries in general, I think) it is not as much of a taboo to call someone fat as it is here in the west, so Evelyn would consider that a perfectly normal thing to say, but Joy, of course, spent her entire life in the US, she doesn't have that same frame of reference, so to her it comes across as an insult, even tho it wasn't intended that way by her mom.

So I decided to watch it and it is hands down my favorite movie of all time. The actors, the shots, the fights and mainly, the way the philosophy of the movie is expressed. It really helped me come to terms with a lot of things and made me want to be my highest self. I just want to stop being cynical and live life despite its absurdities. alas, Rome wasn't built in a day and all that so I'm just gonna try my best. I just don't want to be so cynical anymore.

    I was lucky enough to go to a screening and something I really loved was the Daniel saying that their headcanon for the ending is that Evelyn and Joy don't exactly just magically get better but still are "Everywhere" but make the choice to choose to be together in their universe every day. It basically is such a real interpretation of working on a complicated relationship, where things don't magically get better but are a constant uphill battle built out of love. Idk, I just really love this movie 😅

    I love Stephanie Hsu. I first knew about her back around 2017 when Be More Chill got popular on Tumblr. It very quickly became my favorite musical and was extremely important to me. I got the incredible opportunity to see it at the Signature Theater during the week it was announced they would be on Broadway. So, they did a talk back after the show with a couple of the actors. Stephanie Hsu was among them and I very politely approached her as we were all exiting the theater to thank her for her performance. When you have the opportunity to give your thanks, why not? She asked me if I wanted her to sign my playbill and it legitimately hadn't even occurred to me. So, yeah, I have her signature and have been continually amazed at her growing fame and upcoming stardom. She really is so talented and deserves more roles.

    It's rare that you leave a movie thinking, "This is maybe the best movie I have ever seen!', but it happened once I left the theater after this film. On subsequent viewings, that thought keeps reoccurring! It's just such a well made movie that combines laughing, crying, farce, sincerity, slapstick, and kick ass martial arts! It truly is Everything, Everywhere, All at Once!

    3:17 This was a sweet moment for me because Asian parents (especially immigrants to America) aren't very emotionally forward with their kids, so they use food as a substitute. Calling Joy fat was Evelyn's way of saying "I care about you, and I worry for you." Another nod to managing the complex in-between of honoring their cultural roots while also watching Joy be more americanized than Evelyn.

I have never cried as hard at a movie before and after leaving the theatre I had to sit in my car for 30 minutes before I felt ready to drive home. You would never expect such a deep story about generational trauma and dealing with depression and hopelessness to happen in the same movie as hot dog fingers and kung fu with buttplugs XD Quickly became my favorite movie

So so incredible !!❤

    Words really can't explain how this movie makes me feel. The cinematography and direction was amazing but the story really cracked me. As an asian kid, I related so strongly to the daughter but since growing up, I've also come to understand the struggle from my mom's side. Our relationship has always been one I'm so confused about, but even though she has said some really harsh things to me I will always love her and I really felt like that anguish and complexity of how I feel about my mom was displayed here. From the asian disappointment with high expectations to the way parents communicate love through mean comments but then it doesn't get received the same from the child's end. Oh boy. After I finished watching this in the cinema, I cried for 15 minutes straight and I couldn't stop. I have never found another movie that has affected me like this. Watching this amazing breakdown also just triggered my crying all over again. All I can say is thank you to everyone who worked on this movie, and I hope I can muster up the courage one day to watch it with my parents. Anyways, brb gonna go rewatch it for the 3rd time now.

I connected with Wang, trying to be nice in a world that drains you of every once of it.

    So, interesting note (or at least interesting to me) Evelyn doesn't stop being a nihilist, there are multiple types of nihilism and cherishing a few specks of time is definitely still addressing a lack of higher purpose, which is stil nihilism, what Evelyn actually goes through is moving from cosmic nihilism to existential nihilism, cosmic nihilism being what most people think of when they think of nihilism and existential nihilism being essentially a response to that, a more practical response to the realisation that there is no higher purpose, choosing to create your own purpose, it is a seemingly meaningless distinction but I think it's a very important one, saying that she's no longer a nihilist would mean she believes in some higher purpose, but she doesn't, she is under no illusion that her actions matter in the grand scheme of things but they matter to her, they matter to her family and to the people who her choices effect, and if that's not important then I don't know what is. It's semantics, I know, but I think it's much more representative of what happens, nihilism is a perspective on reality and it's very important that Evelyn's perspective on reality didn't change, her response to that reality did, that's what matters and I think that's important to recognise.
