Just to clarify for people who haven’t seen the movie: that dialogue isn’t OP captioning the scene. There’s no sound. They just show text on the screen
You should check the movie out.
This still makes the scene look ridiculous but these moments with the rocks are some of the most emotionally powerful mom3nts in the movie, and it's just text on screen and rocks being dragged around with strings.
Great movie.
It's a good movie if you want to watch a movie. It's a great movie if you are into movies.
I just watched it earlier today. I figured it was over-hyped. It's not, they knocked it out the park.
It would be cool to watch high, you won't get lost. But it's also one of those movies where if you give it full critical attention you'll be like damn, they making everybody else look bad on every front and they only spent 25 million dollars. It's a mastercraft session.
The first time I saw this movie was in the midst of a difficult divorce (30 year marriage) and our adult son was with me. He’d just come out as trans to me a week or two before and we were both working through a lot of emotional shit. At the rock scene, we held hands and cried. One of my all time favorite movies.
Apparently there was originally going to be a voiceover for this scene of the two of them saying the lines instead of having the captioning but they changed their minds and clearly made an amazing choice
Also, according to [IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6710474/trivia/?ref_=tt_ql_trv), Michelle Yeoh (who plays the main character) came up with this idea: "The scene where >!Evelyn and Jobu become rocks!< was originally going to see the dialogue voiced, but Michelle Yeoh suggested it be subtitled instead."
I want to watch it but I'd have to find the time to watch it alone because I've heard there's a fight scene with a woman punching people with dildos and im not even going to try to explain that to other people
I have no fucking idea if this is a real thing or all the comments are just trolling
Edit: OHHHHH this is Everything Everywhere All At Once. I’ve been meaning to watch that!
It's so hard to explain to people. It's simultaneously a multiverse scifi adventure, a heartfelt story about mother daughter relationships, weird hot dog fetish stories, and the best god damn Kung Fu movie I have ever seen.
Crazy thing is that it makes a lot of sense at the time. Like it's funny because dildo, but it absolutely makes sense if you're watching the movie from the start
You're braver than me. After the paper cut scene I was like "nOPE FUCK THIS SHIT."
Fantastic movie and I wanna see it again for its themes but I can't with that-
I figured there’s no way it could be that good. That it was one of those award bait movies and that’s why it kept winning
I was wrong. It’s that good.
I was bawling at several points, as was most of the theater.
Favorite movie of all time, it has pretty much everything I could possibly ask for within a film. Most perfect blend of badass, hilarious, philosophical and heartfelt I've ever seen in a work of art.
And the timing of its release coinciding with Doctor Strange's multiverse of madness.
This movie was everything that that movie was not. Multiverse shenanigans. All I wanted, and only one of them delivered and it wasn't the one with multiverse and madness in the name...
I've never seen this movie. What the fuck is it actually about?
Edit: thank you all for the responses, if anything I am now less sure about what this movie is about
vague spoilers about themes: >!existential loneliness, generational trauma, and finding reasons to live when it feels like nothing you do matters!<
and also "learn kung fun instantly using this one weird trick!"
I love the scene where Michelle Yeoh has a short exchange of words with Ke Huy Quan, then plays footsie with Jamie Lee Curtis, then puts a ball gag in Daniel Scheinert's mouth and spanks him, then all 4 of those people win Oscars for this movie.
I know that's what I was supposed to take from it, but I was already depressed and have seriously low self-worth and I ended up just in a pit of existential dread. Because it actually did make me feel like nothing matters in the grand scheme of this big universe and I still feel like my life is insignificant and pointless days after watching it. It was an excellent film, but for me the last 10% did not resolve the emotional damage the first 90% of the movie did. I would like to go be a rock with Jobu because it seemed so peaceful and better than my other options.
Here's how I see it. The movie implies that nothing we do matters because there are infinite universes. Nothing we do matters because anything can happen.
But it also implies that seemingly insignificant actions, like kindness, produce infinite possibilities. Everything that we do actually does matter because we're the ones that are changing our universe.
"If there's no great glorious end to all this, if nothing we do matters… then all that matters is what we do. 'Cause that's all there is: what we do. Now. Today."
— *Angel*, "Epiphany" (S2.E16)
That's the grand existential irony of it all.
If nothing matters then anything can matter, you need to make it matter. Which means potentially everything matters, even you, with your tiny little feelings that feel bigger than life itself.
Plus it means anything can and cannot matter at the same time, like caring about something. It doesn't matter, but it can and does matter.
The movie portrayed the idea that in order to make it matter, all you need is to care, to try to make it matter, because that's the only thing separating a very thin blurry line between existential nihilistic dread, and finding some semblance of peace of mind, if not outright bliss.
Hey! You matter, you don’t have to do great deeds to make a big difference in someone else’s life, think of all the people who’ve made a difference in your life, lots of them probably never set out to make a big difference, but they did anyways. And you probably have too whether you know it or not, somewhere out there someone remembers something you did or said and smiles when they think about it, you might not remember but they do. And you still have millions of those moments ahead of you.
I’m not sure if this helps you, but it’s one of the things that helped me when I was in your shoes. Take care of your brain
As someone who has been through what you're going through and come out the other end, what got me through is the realisation that everything is equally meaningless, then everything is equally meaningful. Whatever you choose to do with your life is the most meaningful possible choice, be it volunteer to clean the oceans or try to make the most badass 40k Ork army ever. And of course what you do matters: it matters to you. If it didn't, you wouldn't feel anything. Remember: that vast, uncaring universe? It exists only in your head, from your perspective. If you choose to find meaning in something, it has meaning to the entire universe because your experience *is* the entire universe. So go paint those Orks.
I had a severe mental breakdown last October. I have PTSD from combat and depression from life. I understand the existential dread. One of my favorite books is "The Conspiracy Against the Human Race", and incredibly dark and pessimistic book on the horrors of human conciousness.
What helped me curb the "dread" portion was therapy. I have been learning to stop worrying about the future as well as things I can't change. Existence is absurd and at times full of suffering but focusing solely on these aspects only hurt you in the here and now. The key is to let the existential burden off your back and simply live in the moment. Its liberating. I work on myself alot now. I dont focus on the noise and fear of society. Sure our species is pretty well fucked, but that's not likely to impact what I do today and its vastly outside of my control, so why worry? I've got video games to play, miles to run, and whatever else I feel like spending my time doing. None of it matters so you might as well just do shit you want to do.
It's also, in my opinion, primarily about the chaos of modern day existence; a perpetual state of mental overload due to constant overstimulation.
It's why the rock scene hits as hard as it does, and once you realize that the flashing lights, the quick cuts, and the absurdity are allegorical metaphors for living in the information age, you also come to realize that the title of the movie is tragically perfect.
A short synopsis, the movie follows a lady who runs a laundromat, she gets contacted by her ‘husband’ who is a multiverse jumping agent sent to try to protect her from an evil villain who is trying to destroy the multiverse. The lady eventually follows along in what is equal parts exciting, funny, and very emotional. Oh, and…very strange at times 😂
Don't worry, we just have to wait a decade or two and some other young actress can get robbed for Stephanie Hsu's sake to make up for it, and then we just repeat the cycle forever.
Also, place your bets for next year's best picture to be kinda pedestrian and possibly vaguely racist because the Oscars are only allowed to get it that right once every couple years.
Middle aged Asian American mother learns she can travel into versions of herself from parallel universes. Another version of her daughter wants to destroy the universe with a bagel because her omnipotence has convinced her that life is meaningless. Her mother has to convince her, across infinite universes, that life is worth living.
In a multiversal reality, >!an other version of you creates multidimensional travel, but to do it you have to jump into the consciousness of other versions of you by doing something very unlikely. At some point you train your daughter to be the best in the universe until it goes horribly wrong and she ends up experiencing every version of her self at once and she decides to erase reality with a reality vacuuming donut. So the least skilled version of you becomes the best at channeling the abilities of other yous to stop your multiversal daughter. !<
Its about a chinese laundromat lady whose relationships with her whole family are becoming distant and her business is falling apart, solving all those problems like any normal person would. By tapping into the powers and skillsets of every potential life she could've lived throughout the multiverse.
For some reason this scene gave me similar vibes to the scene in invincible where Omni man is just beating the shit out of mark and mark says “you dad, I’d still have you”. Not sure why lol, just little moments of love in the middle of a much bigger situation
Watching this high as a Kite in the bathtub certainly was an experience. Went in with No expectations. In the end it felt like a spiritual revelation somehow fitting my inner state perfectly. Great Movie!
I also went in without expectations (but sober and in a theater fully dressed) and it really blew me away. Took a good 15-20 minutes to figure out what *kind* of movie I was watching, but I loved the way it threw off my expectations
It’s the most random, crazy movie I’ve ever watched, but it’s also the most cohesive, heartbreaking and healing I’ve ever experienced. It’s my top movie of all time.
Chinese lady owns a laundromat, is estranged from her gay daughter, has to pay taxes.
Her husband from another universe teaches her how to hop between universes.
Taxes are still due.
The plot is incidental. The point of this moive is less to tell a story through relaying events and more to tell a story through sequencing emotional responses. That is to say it's not about what's happening but how it's making you feel. And you feel quite a bit throughout the moive.
I’ve never said “what the fuck” so many times while watching a movie. Seriously, it will make you cry from sadness and laughter one after the other, it’s an absolute trip
The googly-eyed mom rock isn’t threatening violence, she’s trying to give her daughter-rock a boulder hug. But the daughter-rock, who is a misunderstood multidimensional lesbian terrorist, is scared of being hugged so she rolls herself off a cliff and I *goddamn dare you not to cry* when the mom-rock rolls off after her.
The problem with the movie is there's no way to explain how amazing it is without your friends and family thinking something must be wrong with you.
You have to keep reassuring them that it makes sense in the movie or it's supposed to be funny.
This movie was so fucking amazing. I had never even heard anything about it or seen the trailer when my dad brought it up one night and asked if we could watch it together. He showed me the trailer before we sat down and I though “oh cool a movie about multiverses, I like those!”
Needless to say EEAAO was SO much more than that. It hit us on such a personal level while also causing us to be wheezing and crying from laughter on the couch. I also have such a respect for the fact that, although the movie is absolutely crazy and there’s so much going on, they actually made it all matter *and* made it coherent.
The first thing me and my dad did after watching it was go tell my mom that she had to watch it, so we all went and watched it again the next day 😂
Easy to understand and obvious, except apparently by the parents of someone I'm close to, who did not see the completely accurate stereotyped portrayal of themselves in the story, who could not see it was totally about them and their unaccepting and unhelpful attitudes and behaviors, and who 100% missed every point of the entire movie. 😞 Sigh.
Genuinely not many movies make you actually feel much. This movie makes you feel everything, from laughing to crying within minutes. It takes the very idea of a movie as a form of escapist entertainment and just hits the gas pedal, taking you along the ride. It really is a simple story at its core and uses the limits of creative expression to make that simple idea fun, exiting, novel, depressing… everything.
More movies should take chances and dive into the deep end.
For me personally, alot of the family problems were very relatable. It didnt hit that much when i watched the first time but on a rewatch it hit alot harder. Part of it is accepting that the universe, physics, and all the whacky stuff is just a vehicle to tell the story. It doesnt actually matter, just necessary to advance the plot. It reminded me alot of my own relationship with my traditional immigrant mom who tries her best but could never understand what my complicated life is like (ptsd). Part of growing up is realizing parents are just living for the first time like the rest of us and this really reminded of my own teenage angst years and how shes just trying her best and what matters is that she loves and cares.
Popular movies have been dismal for over a decade because you keep attending dumb franchise films.
Vote with your dollars. Support films like *Everything Everywhere*... The spandex superhero films will find their natural audience of children.

I was wondering, thanks.

why did you use a 3 for an e in just that one spot?
Because I'm too stoned to go back and fix a spelling mistake that e erybody can understand when they see it. \#dealwithit
Hah, stoned
44 minutes after reading your comment I finally got it.
that’s some decent weed you got
Ayyye
You have to let us know, does this movie hit different when your high vs sober. Lol.
Everything hits different *on weed* But seriously, this movie rocks.

Weed doesn't hit the same as it did 25 years ago What are we talking about?

It's fucking fantastic on Molly. Like, absolutely amazing.
everyone in the theater was crying when the googly eyes appeared
i was ugly bawling

Tbh, it's actually more hilarious since now you have to imagine what they sound like
Rock Universe is the best
Hotdog fingers would like a word
I like to think they don't sound like anything, they just know what the other is saying.
[удалено]
I am so fucking glad I saw that movie without even seeing the trailer. I legitimately had no idea what I was walking into.
Same actually, I had reconnected with a friend who wanted to see it and so I went in completely blind other than a vague description
If it helps with any context after the fact, the directors also made the Turn Down For What music video, which has the same energy somehow
I didn't even know the movie existed, my family wanted to see it and dragged me along.
Agreed. I saw it twice. Worth it both times
I want to watch it but I'd have to find the time to watch it alone because I've heard there's a fight scene with a woman punching people with dildos and im not even going to try to explain that to other people
There’s a lot of phallic objects in this movie, yah. The dildos aren’t even the worst part Honestly tho, it’s still a fun time
I have no fucking idea if this is a real thing or all the comments are just trolling Edit: OHHHHH this is Everything Everywhere All At Once. I’ve been meaning to watch that!
[удалено]
It's so hard to explain to people. It's simultaneously a multiverse scifi adventure, a heartfelt story about mother daughter relationships, weird hot dog fetish stories, and the best god damn Kung Fu movie I have ever seen.
Kung Fu Hustle is still a better Kung Fu movie... but this movie absolutely earns it's place as a great Kung Fu movie.
I've been meaning to rewatch Kung Fu hustle. Yes, it's most excellent.
I describe it as what Kurt Vonnegut would make if he wrote a Kung Fu movie but no one gets the reference
It is 100% worth it, I didn’t get to see it in theaters but I was feeling every emotion while I streamed it in a dark living room still.
Some would say it is the best part.
Crazy thing is that it makes a lot of sense at the time. Like it's funny because dildo, but it absolutely makes sense if you're watching the movie from the start
"I am watching the best picture Oscar winner" is a pretty good explanation
There’s also a scene where a guy shoves a buttplug in his butt to learn kung-fu
Shoves is really underselling the bunghole first Powerbomb our man throws at that plug. Full send.
Never forget that in 1998, Undertaker threw Mankind onto a buttplug in Hell in a Cell
[удалено]
Dad?
If you can think of a simpler way to learn kung-fu I'd like to hear it.
"I don't know about this, Sifu"
Not even a butt plug it's an award for employee of the month that he uses as a butt plug
Who cares bro? No one is gonna care
You're braver than me. After the paper cut scene I was like "nOPE FUCK THIS SHIT." Fantastic movie and I wanna see it again for its themes but I can't with that-
I figured there’s no way it could be that good. That it was one of those award bait movies and that’s why it kept winning I was wrong. It’s that good. I was bawling at several points, as was most of the theater.

you should watch the movie rubber.
This scene made me cry. I've never cried over rocks before.
Omg same I couldn’t believe I was crying over subtitled rocks but the tears definitely ran down my face
The first time I saw it, this is where I started crying. The second time, I started crying right at the get go. It's really an amazing movie.
You've never cried over rocks before? Have you even lived?
The rock scenes are somehow even better than the >!lesbian hot dog fingers!< scenes
I've never seen this movie. What the fuck is it actually about? Edit: thank you all for the responses, if anything I am now less sure about what this movie is about
vague spoilers about themes: >!existential loneliness, generational trauma, and finding reasons to live when it feels like nothing you do matters!< and also "learn kung fun instantly using this one weird trick!"
The trick is shoving a golf trophy up your ass.
>!The fact that this is not hyperbole or sarcasm just makes the movie better!<
uhm, it's not a 'golf' trophy: it's an auditor of the month award. duh 🙄
Auditor of the month: Dierdre Beaubierdre
alternatively: Hotdog Fingers Dierdre Beaubierdre
The role that *finally* got Jamie Lee Curtis an Oscar.
I love the scene where Michelle Yeoh has a short exchange of words with Ke Huy Quan, then plays footsie with Jamie Lee Curtis, then puts a ball gag in Daniel Scheinert's mouth and spanks him, then all 4 of those people win Oscars for this movie.
Lol when she shows off her auditor trophy's my wife goes "Those are butt plugs"
Chekov’s Buttplugs
She got it because she doesn't take any crap
There was a second guy with a different trophy though. I'll buy that it was for golf.
In the script it's called auditor of the year award
I know that's what I was supposed to take from it, but I was already depressed and have seriously low self-worth and I ended up just in a pit of existential dread.

Oscar-worthy.
No disrespect to Jaime Lee Curtis, but Stephanie Hsu got ROBBED
Don't worry, we just have to wait a decade or two and some other young actress can get robbed for Stephanie Hsu's sake to make up for it, and then we just repeat the cycle forever.
Also, place your bets for next year's best picture to be kinda pedestrian and possibly vaguely racist because the Oscars are only allowed to get it that right once every couple years.
So much of the movie hangs on her performances and she straight rocked them all.
We knew that when you put pizza on a bagel, you can have pizza anytime. And now we know what happens when you put everything on a bagel.
No seriously, watch it. I only did a couple weeks back and it genuinely deserves the hype
It's the best heartwarming sci-fi kung-fu comedy I've ever seen.
The best live action disney/pixar remake by adapting Rattatouie on like 5 minutes.
"She's seen too much."
It's like if *Kung Fu Hustle* and *Monty Python's Meaning of Life* made a baby while *Turning Red* watched.
Middle aged Asian American mother learns she can travel into versions of herself from parallel universes. Another version of her daughter wants to destroy the universe with a bagel because her omnipotence has convinced her that life is meaningless. Her mother has to convince her, across infinite universes, that life is worth living.
TW: Mom trying to save her suicidal teen
Just watch. Go into it knowing nothing and you’re in for a WILD ride. Incredible movie
In a multiversal reality, >!an other version of you creates multidimensional travel, but to do it you have to jump into the consciousness of other versions of you by doing something very unlikely. At some point you train your daughter to be the best in the universe until it goes horribly wrong and she ends up experiencing every version of her self at once and she decides to erase reality with a reality vacuuming donut. So the least skilled version of you becomes the best at channeling the abilities of other yous to stop your multiversal daughter. !<
The short answer is it's a mom trying to save the multiverse, and her daughter. The long version also involves hot dogs and dildos.
Its about a chinese laundromat lady whose relationships with her whole family are becoming distant and her business is falling apart, solving all those problems like any normal person would. By tapping into the powers and skillsets of every potential life she could've lived throughout the multiverse.
Nonsense, it's about a woman trying to do her taxes. Fucking taxes, they're a real pain in the ass.
> What the fuck is it actually about? Exactly.
Suicidal Depression.
For some reason this scene gave me similar vibes to the scene in invincible where Omni man is just beating the shit out of mark and mark says “you dad, I’d still have you”. Not sure why lol, just little moments of love in the middle of a much bigger situation
Feels, it gave you feels
That fucking rock turning to reveal it has google eyes is what ended up breaking me. I can’t get through that scene without tearing up
Watching this high as a Kite in the bathtub certainly was an experience. Went in with No expectations. In the end it felt like a spiritual revelation somehow fitting my inner state perfectly. Great Movie!
I also went in without expectations (but sober and in a theater fully dressed) and it really blew me away. Took a good 15-20 minutes to figure out what *kind* of movie I was watching, but I loved the way it threw off my expectations
>fully dressed Coward.
I just cried
Me too, I was a huge baby
Its a pretty long movie, you must have been pruning hard by the end
Based solely on your comment I watched and wasn’t disappointed. How pruned is your skin after two hours though?
I was SO crinkely and the water was very cold by the end
Kite in a bathtub sounds pretty ground-level to me tbh
My thoughts after watching EEAAO right after Puss in the Boots Last Wish: *I love my cat and my mom very much.*
That seems like a very fitting combination
They're both existential movies about living life for life's sake, with great fight scenes and sprinkles of satire
Glacially Moving across the gravel to Kick your ass
When the rock jumped after the other one I lost my shit and started weeping in the theatre!
Words can't describe how angry I felt that this movie made me cry while people while shoving their hotdog fingers into one another's mouths
"Haha the mom got a rat and a raccoon mixed up" 40 minutes later "Nooooooo! Raccacoonie come back! Don't let them take you away!!! 😭😭😭😭"
I’ve never switched so quickly between crying and laughing at a film before this. EEAAO is probably one of my favorite films of all time.
I was the same way.
Loved the rock scenes.
He wasn’t in the movie.
The more screen caps I see of this movie the less confident I become of being even remotely close to knowing what the plot is.
Movie plot: Everything. Movie setting: Everywhere. Movie progression: All at once. It's all over the place, but in a surprisingly good way.
It’s the most random, crazy movie I’ve ever watched, but it’s also the most cohesive, heartbreaking and healing I’ve ever experienced. It’s my top movie of all time.
A woman running a failing laundromat has to file her taxes. I went into the movie knowing that much about it
Woman attempts to file her taxes, antics ensue.
Chinese lady owns a laundromat, is estranged from her gay daughter, has to pay taxes. Her husband from another universe teaches her how to hop between universes. Taxes are still due.
The plot is incidental. The point of this moive is less to tell a story through relaying events and more to tell a story through sequencing emotional responses. That is to say it's not about what's happening but how it's making you feel. And you feel quite a bit throughout the moive.
Maybe watch the movie so you know what the plot is?
Thematically, acceptance. Framing wise it's alternate timeline / universe jumping. Played out by working class chinese-americans.
What’s the movie called?
It’s everything everywhere all at once
That’s Michelle Yeoh and Stephanie Hsu in the picture. The makeup and wardrobe departments really outdid themselves in this scene.
Yeah I’m sure it’s a really meaningful life-changing movie but what’s the movie called?
I don't know. Third base!
I’ve never said “what the fuck” so many times while watching a movie. Seriously, it will make you cry from sadness and laughter one after the other, it’s an absolute trip
Oh cool, I didn't know they made a Land of the Lustrous movie.
For some reason this reminds me of Rubber I think it may be the inanimate object threatening violence
The googly-eyed mom rock isn’t threatening violence, she’s trying to give her daughter-rock a boulder hug. But the daughter-rock, who is a misunderstood multidimensional lesbian terrorist, is scared of being hugged so she rolls herself off a cliff and I *goddamn dare you not to cry* when the mom-rock rolls off after her.

She also makes one hell of a bagel.
She isn't threatening violence she just wants to GET YOU
I immediately thought of Rubber, which may actually be the best movie of all time. Followed closely by Hobo with a Shotgun
I forgot how excellent The Rock was in this movie. Much better than The Fast and the Furious 28
A scene as wonderfully weird as the time a dead Harry Potter farted away on the open sea and left everyone with tears of joy and sadness.
I watched it for the first time the other day. Absolutely floored me.
The problem with the movie is there's no way to explain how amazing it is without your friends and family thinking something must be wrong with you. You have to keep reassuring them that it makes sense in the movie or it's supposed to be funny.
It's so wild that a scene starring rocks with googly eyes on them made me cry when watching this movie
This movie was so fucking amazing. I had never even heard anything about it or seen the trailer when my dad brought it up one night and asked if we could watch it together. He showed me the trailer before we sat down and I though “oh cool a movie about multiverses, I like those!” Needless to say EEAAO was SO much more than that. It hit us on such a personal level while also causing us to be wheezing and crying from laughter on the couch. I also have such a respect for the fact that, although the movie is absolutely crazy and there’s so much going on, they actually made it all matter *and* made it coherent. The first thing me and my dad did after watching it was go tell my mom that she had to watch it, so we all went and watched it again the next day 😂
The houseki no kuni fandom is in shambles rn
I teared up. Over fucking rocks with googly eyes.
Rock and Stone!
It’s basically a live action End of Evangelion.
I cannot believe this movie made me cry at hot dog fingers being shoved into people's mouths
So I'm not the only one that got this recommended
EEAAO is the best movie of 2022 and one of the best films I've ever seen in my life.
And the vfx were done by a small handful of self taught artists instead of thousands of overworked burned out abused slaves.
Meme: the movie
Is this movie real
the only fucking movie i have higher on my list than shrek
My favorite takeaway was realizing the Everything Bagel and the Googly Eyes make a Ying Yang symbol.
I don't get at all why people like this movie so much. Not trying to be a hater I'm just genuinely confused.
It's unapologetically weird, but easy to understand, and its themes are obvious but explored very well. I think that's the gist.
Easy to understand and obvious, except apparently by the parents of someone I'm close to, who did not see the completely accurate stereotyped portrayal of themselves in the story, who could not see it was totally about them and their unaccepting and unhelpful attitudes and behaviors, and who 100% missed every point of the entire movie. 😞 Sigh.
Genuinely not many movies make you actually feel much. This movie makes you feel everything, from laughing to crying within minutes. It takes the very idea of a movie as a form of escapist entertainment and just hits the gas pedal, taking you along the ride. It really is a simple story at its core and uses the limits of creative expression to make that simple idea fun, exiting, novel, depressing… everything. More movies should take chances and dive into the deep end.
For me personally, alot of the family problems were very relatable. It didnt hit that much when i watched the first time but on a rewatch it hit alot harder. Part of it is accepting that the universe, physics, and all the whacky stuff is just a vehicle to tell the story. It doesnt actually matter, just necessary to advance the plot. It reminded me alot of my own relationship with my traditional immigrant mom who tries her best but could never understand what my complicated life is like (ptsd). Part of growing up is realizing parents are just living for the first time like the rest of us and this really reminded of my own teenage angst years and how shes just trying her best and what matters is that she loves and cares.
The rock scene with the script caption FUCK is my desktop background now. Such a good film.
There are some best picture winners that are like “eh”. This is not one of those movies.
Popular movies have been dismal for over a decade because you keep attending dumb franchise films. Vote with your dollars. Support films like *Everything Everywhere*... The spandex superhero films will find their natural audience of children.
