- I can honestly say this is one of the most original, unique, creative, well-written, well-performed, well-choreographed, well-filmed, and all around SPECTACULAR movies I've seen in years. Neither of us could have predicted where it would go (and we tried), and if it does not win all the awards this year, then we should all just fall into the bagel, because what's the point? I've watched this movie multiple times now, and I'm still noticing things I missed before, and I'm sure that will keep happening no matter how many times I watch it. A true masterpiece. Bravo! ❤️Jacqui

First Time Watching Everything Everywhere All At Once - บันเทิง
When rocks make people emotional, you know a movie is special.
literally
Those Rock's Affected My Allergies Something Awful!!!!!
Since you asked who the fight choreographer is, it's the two guys in the butt plug fight. They're brothers Brian and Andy Le. They're youtubers who do their own stunts and their channel is MartialClub. And yes, they do deserve all the awards.
I’ll add that Andy Le played Death Dealer in Shang-Chi and all three Martial Club guys appeared in the indie film The Paper Tigers.
I loved how each of the two times you said, “Okay; WHO was the fight choreographer on this?” one of the fight choreographers was in fact doing the specific stunt you were reacting to.
Keep in mind that the "butt plugs" themselves also happened to be awards. ;)
Thanks bro I needed to find them
Fun fact about the Nine Days song: Daniel Kwan wrote Waymond's line ("your clothes never wear as well the next day" etc.) unintentionally. After he wrote it, it sounded familiar, and he didn't know why, so he Googled it and realized it was that song. So he contacted Nine Days and asked for permission to use the song in the movie, and they not only said yes, but they recorded several different versions of it that are played as background music throughout the film.
So I watched this reaction all the way thru once, then I replayed Jacqui's recognition of the lyrics to "Story of a Girl" by Nine Days - only then did that ring a bell in MY music nostalgia memory banks, and I had to look up the song on TH-cam. I absolutely LOVE people for picking up subtle details from a movie like this!
I really like how you pointed out that this story gave “the chosen one” story line to a middle-aged woman. Like that is actually such an innovation on its own!
Michelle Yeoh points that out herself a lot. Especially when talking about how the movie was adjusted from originally being a Jackie Chan vehicle.
I've seen this movie over a dozen times and have watched countless react videos. But this was the first time I noticed the "Story of a Girl" motif thanks to you pointing it out. They even play it slowed down in the van when they discuss the divorce. So, thank you for that
Something more, there is a different version of the song for every universe. You can find them here in TH-cam
True piece of art. Not a wasted second or space.
Daniel Kwan said he wrote the line then realized he got it from the song. So they looked up the lead singer and had him record versions with alternate lyrics.
I straight up never noticed that. Legitimate shock lol
If Michelle Yeoh doesn’t get an Oscar nomination for this…I’m seriously going to question The Academy, and what they consider “cinema”.
All three main cast deserve Oscar nom..
Citizen Kane didn't win Best Picture. Brokeback Mountain (winning Best Director and Adapted Screenplay) lost to Crash for Best Picture. Black Panther got nominated for Best Picture but not Shoplifters and/or Cold War because they're not in English (this was pre-Parasite). Green Book won Best Picture over Roma and The Favourite. There are a lot of other stuff that makes the Academy look like the joke that it is. If EEAAO is snubbed, I won't be surprised.
Those awards have been out of touch for a while now. The biggest problem for this movie, is that it was released a while ago and it will have to compete with all of the Oscar bait movies that come out in the last few weeks of the year.
If this movie was released a month ago, I could see them getting the three main roles noms for lead/supporting, and the Daniels for writing and directing. It's the kind of movie they'd include in the best picture category now that it has 10 noms and it will end up taking one acting and the writing awards.
A24 and Lionsgate will have spend some extra money on the "for your consideration' campaign to remind people and I'm not sure if they have incentive to do that, since it's home market sales are probably maxed anyway
Nomination? I dont care who they give it to it BELONGS to her!
She's nominated now. Fingers crossed!
The VFX were done by 5 PEOPLE WORKING REMOTELY. And acting/story-wise, I sob through the entire last half hour. I love this film so much.
Ke Huy Quan is fantastic in this movie, he had withdrawn from acting roles because Hollywood (he was Shortround in the second Indiana Jones) didn't cast many Asians. So he watched Crazy Rich Asians and felt excited to get back in front of the screen.
Also he was Data in The Goonies!
This movie is different than most current movies because it is 100% totally and unabashedly sincere. It never trying to lampshade anything or pretend like it's in on the joke, there's no moment where a character says 'Well THAT just happened.' there's no undercutting of the serious moments with a joke to make it seem like they don't actually care. This movie is just completely sincere and joyful in telling a beautiful story. The chaos and nonsense isn't used to undercut the serious emotional beats like in most modern movies(marvel is especially guilty of this) but instead to emphasize them. They make jokes and make you laugh and cry and giggle and hurt and love so easily because they get you emotionally invested in every part of the movie because the movies directing and editing and writing and acting are all working together to tell you not only that you should care, but that they do too and it's okay to care about stuff. In fact that is the whole point, nothing matters in the grand scheme of things so why shouldn't you care and love and be kind?
This movie is a master class in filmmaking but also a beautiful message about how to deal with feeling like nothing matters. It so clearly and concisely says "Yeah, sure, the universe is vast and uncaring and nothing you do will ever matter in the grand scheme of things. But that doesn't make the little moments of joy and happiness and contentment mean any less, infact they are the only thing that matters and you should cherish them"
In a world where we have been conditioned not to care about anything because it's all too much and nothing really matters, in a world of nihilistic bullshit where caring at all hurts and gets you made fun of, the Daniels managed to make a movie that tricks you into caring fully about every piece of it regardless of how silly, be it a Raccoon parody of Ratatouille, hotdog finger lesbians, or two rocks on a cliff with only subtitles. It is truly one of the greatest films ever made and incredibly important especially in today's climate of nihilistic 'if you care about anything you're stupid' attitudes, I'm so glad y'all liked it and it was a pleasure to watch you experience it for the first time!
The scene where Waymond tells everyone to just be kind is my favorite. This film came out at the perfect time. In a post-pandemic era, where the world has been experiencing an all time high of hate and vitriol, it really was such an important message; that when you have no idea what is going on, it's so important to just be kind. Not just being kind to everyone else, but especially being kind to yourself; which seemed to be what was one of the underlying issues of Evelyn and Joy had. Being kind to themselves.
As a queer person with depression, whoo buddy this movie hit differrent. My mom and I really love it. Also, apparently there were only 5 vfx people on this movie who learned along the way.
Yeah apparently there was a total of 9 people involved in the VFX, including the two directors, with the 5 core people being completely self-taught using free online tutorials...
@@DavidGowers thats so motivating in some way that they prob did that with youtube tutorials
I like how in elevator scene, Ke Huy Quan sells us on the transformation so hard without saying a word. Just a second of seeing him change his posture, expression, even his movements, and you INSTANTLY know this is a different dude right now
20 minutes in: "This is the most chaotic thing I've ever seen in my life."
Those of us who've seen the movie: "You might wanna strap in."
The movie that renewed my faith in modern film
So many layers to this movie omg. I love how donuts and google eyes are inverse of one another both visually and thematically.
Bagel - black circle white center. Represents nihilism
Google eye - white circle black center. Represents joy and kindness
They both represent yin and Yang! I also like this one description I saw off of a comment here on TH-cam that the googley eyes represent life, anything it touches it brings any object to life while the bagel is the suction of life, a complete opposite.
I love the idea that “statistically improbable actions will allow you to gain new abilities” likens to “doing things outside of our comfort zone is how we grow as people”
what i also LOVE about superpowers she gets throughout the movies are just jobs. it's a love letter to mediocrity, to missing your chance, and to learning to love where you are. there's so many paths we could have taken that we regret, but this movie teaches us that-- thats ok. you cant change your choices, might as well lean in an appreciate the small things.
The fact that this movie can be so bombastic and all over the place and loud and then cut to a scene of absolute silence with rocks and have you absolutely enraptured is what made this movie the best movie I’ve seen in years. I’m so glad you guys did this one.
I love the fact that in the scene where Joy is holding the branch that turns into different objects, the last 2 frames are an Academy Award, and now they've got 11 Academy Award nominations. If you go through those multiverse sequences that are just 1 frame each, you'll see some amazing still frames that don't even have her in the frame, and one has the original shot of her against the green screen with the VFX team in Zoom call windows on the right. Such a fantastic and original and heartfelt film. I was lucky to see it in IMAX at a pre-release screening. Seeing it in a packed theater on a huge screen, and being in the middle of all the audience reaction was one of the best theater-going experiences I can remember in recent memory. Too bad you guys had to watch it on a computer (and NO FAIR that you got to pause along the way instead of holding on for the ride without a break)!
I love how Jamie Lee Curtis appeared on set and refused the use of her stunt double. "I'm not going to be in a movie with Michelle Yeoh and *not* going to be doing my own stunts." And apparently it was an awful lot of fun. Oh, and she bought a lot of furniture from the set (a bank that had gone into receivership) for her home office from the stage manager.
There's a million things that are clever about this film. My favorite is that, although the ultimate message of the film and the dialog during the emotional climax are incredibly saccharin, the entire film up until that point has been this kaleidoscopic mash of genera and tone. The effect of this is that the audience has undergone such emotional whiplash that whatever cynical or ironic walls they've built around their hearts have been pulverized such that, when the emotional climax does come, the audience is defenseless against it. Masterfully executed maximalism.
If you watch this movie again, you will catch even more stuff then when you first watched it. I cry every time at the "in another life, i would have really like to do laundry and taxes with you". Also, how the googly third eye is the opposite of the bagel, like yin and yang. Also! One on my fav things about this movie is when they were writing it, Evelyn's character felt like she had undiagnosed ADHD. So the writer/directors did research on the topic. And while they researched it, one of them (Dan Kwan) said that he realised that he in fact had ADHD. He said that it was a beautiful, cathartic experience.
Now imagine actually living this life with your mom like this. I love my mom, but she’s made it a literally challenge. Being Asian America is a struggle TT
This is actually real…. Big Bagel Theory is more formally known as The Bloom Toroidal Model of the Cosmos. It says the universe is a space-time manifold in the shape of what topologists call a “torus,” a doughnut, a bagel with an infinitesimally small hole.
In case your research hasn’t turned us up yet, the fight choreographers were actually the two guys who were fighting with the butt plug trophies. Their brothers who do martial arts under the name the Martial club, and they were literally discovered off of TH-cam
"And I've been to a Pomeranian wedding in Vegas" LOL!!
I just love watching people discover this movie! Especially when I can see confusion mixed in with awe. I adore Waymond’s character. Everyone needs a Waymond in their life. And the line about being happy just doing laundry and taxes is now the best way to say I love you I have ever seen.
I really love your reaction!
And one more special thing is that Waymond is not stereotypical shaped as “s strong, powerful, saving-the-day male character”. Waymond is so special and unique because he embraced his softness and peaceful personality.
"A story of a girl" does come back as background music in the hibachi restaurant in the "raccacoonie" storyline as well 😊
The Daniels (writers/directing duo) got their start in music videos especially the very trippy Turn Down For What? The first fun fact is the girl that is dancing on the TV was in that original music video. The second thing, which you picked up on, in another universe this entire movie is a long form music video for A Story of a Girl.
I don't think any movie has ever completely run the gambit of all of human emotions. From grotesque to slapstick to heartbreaking and heartwarming.... if this movie doesn't reach a person, I feel sorry for them.
As a reaction binger it's very rare to find new yet established channels - I'm so happy this movie brought me to this channel because I can see an entire back catalog of reactions I'll be watching after this one!
I've spent my whole life watching amazing movies non-stop and I can say this is my all time favourite. What an amazing piece of art and emotional journey.
I love that you said this was the most chaotic thing you’ve ever seen just 30 minutes in… Just you wait LOL
I always admire writers who come up with absolutely fresh perspectives / concepts, because after centuries of human existence, there are very few themes and concepts that haven't been explored in art yet
While there is a lot of talent involved in making good art with existing concepts, movies like this make me believe that there is no limit to human creativity.
I remember watching Swiss Army man, and while the movie could have been better, I was very excited to see more of the Dans ever since. The moment this movie was announced, along with the casting and that it would be based on multiverse I had my hopes up. The best part is that the movie exceeded my expectations even after so much of the internal hype I've accumulated over the looooong time it took to be released in India
And I loved it so much and had to wait for so long, I watched it on back to back days in the theatre. What surprised me is that the friend who accompanied me who had no clue about the movie, the writer-directors or the actors herself prompted me to take her again the next day
@@suraj7119 going a little further with the Swiss Army Man thing, apparently Dan Radcliffe was asked to be in this and he only said no because it conflicted with something he was already tied to. He's even said that the Daniels are the only people he will happily say yes to without even seeing a script
i love how every time you ask who choreographed the fights, one of the choreographers is visible on screen. :D
Most creative film I've ever seen, and so full of heart and feeling. I love it. Great performances from everyone. This deserves all the Oscars. Great reaction.
Everytime you asked who the fight choreographer was, one of the two of them was on screen.
"Everything, Everywhere, All At Once" is basically art. It's art in a way, that we've long but forgotten, but, never had a way to actually observe. I think this is a way of trying to actualize how we see, and think as a collective
OMG i love you two!!! also at 50:19 when Evelyn tells Joy's girlfriend she needs to cut her hair, that ironically actually means that Evelyn now accepts her and welcomes her to the family. When Asian parents criticize, it's their way of showing they care and love you, otherwise they wouldn't have cared or said a thing.
Yes! South American families are like that as well. So when Evelyn criticized Becky's hair I clapped my hands in delight. Because it meant she now looked at her daughter's girlfriend as part of the family. ❤
This is one thing that still has me puzzled. Evelyn had spent the whole arc of the film learning that her dad's nagging and her nagging had caused untold harm - and then she goes right back into that mode?
@@peterquennellnyc this kinda nagging is actually how asian parents show "love"
@@peterquennellnyc Evelyn started out nagging Joy with the subtext of "I love you and see you" but never actually said it (Becky even double-checks with Joy about it at the start). By the end of the movie, Evelyn has said it aloud, which reconfirms to Joy that she means it. So, like the above poster said, Evelyn suggesting that Becky grow her hair means she's part of the family. Also, the suggestion isn't as harsh as the nagging.
@@peterquennellnycWhat her dad did to her was far more than "nagging." He straight up disowned her for leaving with Waymond, didn't answer her calls, and after decades without speaking to her, is now expecting her to take care of him while utterly disrespecting her at every turn.
As for Evelyn's nagging, I think Joy would be able to deal with it if it was only that. She's far more upset that her mom is trying to ignore her relationship with Becky. Evelyn won't tell the truth to her dad, doesn't want Becky to look after him, hell, doesn't even speak to Becky at the start.
Now you've seen it look up info on it. Fight choreography was done by the trophy in the bum guys and they were self taught iirc from TH-cam.
Similarly VFX by a very small team with many things self taught also with TH-cam input.
They did so much with relatively little and to such great effect
This movie allows the humor and absurdity to build up to and enhance the dramatic moments. Like when the rock scene *starts* as a ridiculous thing with a joke about language, but then ends on a solemn note about depression, nihilism, and calling for help. Or at the end, the massive, surreal fight scene ends with the music cutting out and a mother and daughter hugging after a conversation about unconditional love.
On the other hand, Thor 4 did the exact opposite. (Potential spoilers ahead for those who haven't seen Thor 4, I guess.) Taika Waititi tried so hard to make comedy the focus that no dramatic moments were ever allowed to breathe. Whenever there was anything serious, it ended by being undercut by a forced joke (that only landed about half the time anyway). We got that lovely and heartbreaking scene of Mighty Thor dropping Mjolnir in front of the mirror and instantly becoming worn-down, dying, cancer-ridden Jane... but then ended that scene with Valkyrie randomly bopping to Destiny's Child on a grenade-shaped Bluetooth speaker. We got a scene of Lady Sif lying on the battlefield, potentially dying, and they're making jokes about whether her dismembered arm is in Valhalla or not. A child is kidnapped by a deicidal supervillain, and in his call for help, he spends several minutes discussing why he loves AC/DC enough to change his name to Axl Rose.
Comedy and emotion are two sides to life, and in balance, they work so well to tell a story. We've known that forever; it's why the Janus masks exist. This movie fully gets that. Thor 4 did not.
This was magic. You're the first reaction team I've seen who don't play innocent about the tricks of the trade. You instantly know what they're doing, you catch many of the layers they're weaving - some I didn't notice before now, and your mind is blown by how well they're doing it....
And you are as still as innocent as children, in the best possible way. This is the kind of movie you always hope to see, when people are raving about a movie they refuse to spoil.
The entire time, you have good schtick. Your banter's more about the fun of playing with possibilities, and taking joy in small moments. It doesn't feel like you're just punching in a clock.
And you tackle the entire emotional range.
You personify the spirit of this movie.
There's only thing I have to add to your analysis - isn't this feeling of being overwhelmed by randomness humor, comparisons with other possible yous, gross-outs, sudden kinks, hidden applications of talents, sudden style changes, etc...
And a lonely bitter nihilism that threatens to consume us all...
A perfect metaphor for our modern world?
It's no coincidence that there's an alpha version of her husband, but he isn't the one that saves them all.
This movie is about as much about how to survive and find connection and meaning in the too much information age, as it is about family love. It's why you have two people literally take turns carrying each other while chasing after a racoon, though she barely even knows either of them.
Ultimately, I think it's why multiverse movies resonate so strongly with modern audiences today. The challenges the heroes face are more realistic and instantly relatable, compared to tropes designed for the 20th century and before....
It also answers the question of how to make complex themes that don't film well, speak to a general audience. Just find a way to make everything more literal, and have fun with how much it all clashes.
By now it’s probably clear that I’m live commenting lol. But actually the story of a girl song appears in three different versions, including in the BDSM dungeon scene and in a country music version when they’re in the RV discussing divorce, and finally at the Benihana equivalent
My absolute favorite thing about this movie is how everyone is so thoroughly unprepared for what's about to happen to them when they watch it. There's just no way to explain it.
Damn, Jacqui, you always notice things I don't get! I think I've watched at least a dozen reactions to this movie but never noticed the song. I was so entranced after learning they made the main character based on the traits of having ADHD (having it myself) and discovering along the way they also had ADHD, lol. But I have to say, the nihilsm and the bagel really hit me as a metaphor for depression, because damn hell, that was what it felt like to me when I had a bad case of it many years ago. It sucked. It felt like it literally sucked the life out of me, and the life out of everything I enjoyed. I love watching reactions to this movie so much because 1) it's made so well, but 2) it's SUCH A ROLLERCOASTER. Seeing people go from vaguely confused to WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING to THIS IS HILARIOUS BUT STILL WTF to the genuine emotional payoff at the end is just such a fulfilling ride.
Loved your reactions guys! And first off lemme say I love the finger rings AND y'alls makeup! Secondly, its interesting because when you thought that Evelyn was letting Jobu go at the end per her request, I didnt really look at it as a metaphor for suicide. Her scene of letting go and also Joy's speech of the pain she endures w/ her relationship with her mom and asking her to 'let her go' reminds me of the struggle a lot of gay children have w/ their friends and family when tehy come out that subsequently strains the relaationshp. I am a gay male that has still not come out to my strict Catholic immigrant Asian parents even though I've been out ot my friends and coworkers and some of my cousins for years partly because I know coming out will create an even bigger tear in our relationship and I've realized for me to be truly happy and ok with myself I have to 'let my relationship with my parents go' so to speak to be happy. I never thought of it that way until watching this movie, and when Joy asked Evelyn to 'just let her go' I thought who says that?? and then it clicked that i've thought the exact same way when i think of my family that will not approve of me. Its interesting to make htat connection
That's a great way to look at it! Suicide was just my first impression, but having watched it several times now, I'm seeing just how many different interpretations there can be. Thank you for sharing yours, and your personal experience, because it's given me a whole new way to look at this movie. I'm so glad it resonated with you, and I hope you find that happiness with your family. You deserve it! ❤️Jacqui
@@theshamelist Thank you! Hope you guys have a great week!
I love how every reaction to this movie has the same three parts:
1: WTF am I watching
2: this is hilarious
3: WHY AM I CRYING OVER A ROCK
James Hong, Michelle Yeoh, plus Jamie Lee Curtis... and the actress who plays the daughter might have actually stolen the whole film. Plus the return of Ke Huy Quan after decades out of the industry! This movie is such an absolute masterpiece.
Stephanie Hsu...she was great in this but Ke stands out for me. Glad he is back.
He's been in the "industry" the whole time... This is however his first role Infront of the camera for 20 odd years.
It was also a commentary on how technology is bringing the overwhelming multiverse to the youth, and their parents trying to keep up.
And there were so many references. My favorite is Grandpa's wheelchair sprouting a coffee maker as a reference to Back to the Future and later turning into a Gundam as he lost his Cantonese in favor of English, highlighting the hypocrisy of his position because he's willing to forgo tradition in favor of control, when the basis of his need for control originally came from the erosion of his traditions.
Sam's laugh when Evelyn first enters the hot dog fingers universe is giving me life
Re you Matrix comment, hilariously the directors stated in an interview the film came about after they watched a double feature of the Matrix and if I’m not mistaken Fight Club 😂. But agree completely the final product was much much more than a facsimile.
Also as someone who has watched it a dozen or more times it gets better and better on rewatch :)
"This is the most chaotic thing I've ever seen"... oh sweet summer child standby to standby.
One cool detail I've noticed like you have is that the bagel is in more places than you think. At least the circle that could represent the bagel is in more shots. Take for example the intro of the cascading clothes going around in a circle that can be seen later as the bagel as you go through it and I love that the Google eyes are the inverse color scheme as the bagel. Like the yen to the yang and instead of everything being serious it's silly and uplifting. The circles are ever present in this movie and i love how it all ties in like eye spy little cameos you don't know are important until it is.
Love this! Thank you for pointing it out! ❤️Jacqui
I 1000000% agree about it feeling so unique. There isn't another movie that does the things this one did.
I love how much you both were enjoying the movie, it made the reaction so much better!
I never watched you two before but the fact that not only did you recognize Story of a Girl so quickly AND you did a lowkey analysis? You got a sub from me. I literally did the same thing and no other reactor noticed it!
'Just be a rock' is the new 'be a goldfish' 🙃 that laundry & taxes quote is right up there with Crouching Tiger's line bout rather being a ghost by yer side! ♥
That movie was an experience! Best movie in years! Will make you laugh, cry & say WTF many many times! ♥
I *hoped* that we would get this from you, I didn't expect you both to be able to avoid it until you shared it with us. Thank you for your patience and sacrifice, and for continuing to bring the prettyfunny for us to enjoy.
Harry Shum Jr. as Raccaccoonie's chef (45:46) puts on the same emotions as Troy Barnes from Community (21:57)
Impressed by the fact y'all didn't cry from the 3 major tear jerking scenes. 'Butt-plugger,' 'Laundry & Taxes' and 'Always want to be here with you'.
This is my first time seeing your channel and I appreciate that you guys pause and discuss instead of just barreling through potentially important dialogue and scenes. Wish me luck.... i'm headed to a journey through your catalogue.
This is the first reaction with you that I have watched (just now subscribed) and I loved it. My wife and I (Marvel fans) saw this before seeing the Marvel movie that shall not be named which only made it that much less than EEAAO. So rewatchable (you and the film). Laughing and crying while rolling our eyes at the ridiculousness of it exhausted us. So glad you enjoyed it and shared your reaction.
Yeah...we were also not fans of the Marvel movie that shall not be named 😅 We're glad you enjoyed the movie and the reaction, and thank you for subscribing! ❤️Jacqui
I know this is random but you two have such great, inviting smiles!
I am **so** happy that you recognized that song. So few reactors to this movie seem to recognize it. As soon as Waymond started quoting it, I was like "One of you needs to know this song, at least", and you did.
"Cuz' why not" is basically the theme of the film...
I enjoyed your reaction. For as many times as I’ve watched this movie, you’ve uncovered layers I missed. Definitley subscribing and looking forward to more of your thoughtful reactions.
41:08 I'm happy to hear that you acknowledged that. This particular segment is a homage to the style of a Hong Kong director Wong Kar Wai.
Should check out Michelle Yeoh's GQ interview from a few months ago here on TH-cam. She discusses her most iconic roles, and becomes very emotional and cries when she starts discussing this movie because she was finally given the chance to show she could be more than an action star.
@14 mins u said it is the most chaotic thing u've seen in ur life, and little did all of us know, it just went all exponential from now on, loved your videos, thank you so much!!! i feel like watching it for the first time again watching u guys!!!
7 OSCARS!
Great reaction, thanks from this side of 'The Pond'!
You guys totally got the assignment (ala, the underlying message) - coupled with entertaining reactions and intellectual analysis. Thank you ❤
A thought occurred to me: the quality of this reaction rose to the level of the film, and that is a miracle#3 level task. Also: reactions to this show are more of a Rorschach (I know how to spell this, I just found out, btw!) test of the reactors. Know that my cheeks hurt after watching your reaction.
Wow, this comment just made my day! Thank you for the kind words, and for all your support.
❤️Jacqui
Loved it so much I can't stop watching reactions. Yours was great.
This movie really hits me in the feels lol!!! I've watched it dozens of times and watched a few reactions to it. By far, yours is the best reaction!!! I laugh hysterically and cry hysterically at this movie, every, single, time!!! Lol!
Love your reaction and review!
My sense of A24 had always been. "Oooh, aren't we just so artsy fartsy." The Green Knight was self indulgent foo fah roo. After EEaaO I will NEVER disparage A24 again.
A black bagel in a white void, when reversed, is a google eye.
Everyone is into Alpha/Racoon Waymond...until regular Waymond gives his speech. Then everyone loves him.
I am with you. This deserved every award...everywhere...all at once. FLAWLESS movie.
best movie since years!
and i have watched many reactions and yours is one of the best ones, loved it!
One surprising thing I thought you guys would notice- the googly eyes vs the everything bagel.
Jobu Tapaki's everything bagel being black with a white center represents her nihilistic, pessimistic macro worldview.
Meanwhile Weiman's googly eyes are white with a black center, showing his optimism and appreciation for the little moments in life.
Each both serve as a perfect antithesis to one another. They also serve as a symbol of yin and yang, and show our place in the multiverse both being insignificant in the grand scheme of things yet present in the moment.
Re: The matrix light feels and references, I assumed it was shared further back historical notes. The Wachowski's watched and loved older Kung-Fu movies and I assumed many of the notes in the matrix that may have been a bit new to western audiences had their roots there, like the narratives of "the one", etc. Likewise, this is clearly a movie also honoring older KungFu and hong kong action movies (including staring Michelle Yeoh) so I just assumed that it was less the matrix and just my western bias making me think of that rather than root HK / kung fu action movies.
Okay. You had me at Pomeranian wedding in Vegas :).
I never noticed "Story of a Girl", and I've watched so many reactions to this and I haven't ever seen anyone else notice it either, very impressed.
Beautiful reaction!!
"AWWEEHHHH" You keep doing that. LOL
Me and my bf saw this on like our third date? We both sobbed.
My favorite reaction to this instant classic movie. Thank you!
What a movie, this is what it’s all about. So cathartic
The name of the movie was originally going to be called, "A woman doing her taxes."
Joy's costumes and makeup in this are INSANE. Also, easily a film of the decade. I cry everytime. Also also, Joy isn't a villain. She's a victim of herself, her life, her family, etc. Also Also Also, gonna need to see that Joy cosplay, please.
Exactly my reaction. Keep it up!
now THIS is truly a movie where it'd be shameful not to see! i just wanted to share a revelation i saw someone comment on an analysis video (thank you random person) so i hope you guys read this (sam and Jacqui)
remember when alpha waymond told evelyn that she's capable of anything because she's so bad at everything? that's because the worst version of yourself in the multiverse is a focal point where your variants branch off of your potential. that's how joy turned into jobu. her mom was a birilliant perfectionist, talented woman (arguably best version of evelyn) was intimidating to jobu joy because she was not good at anything. so not only did she look out for jobu evelyn because she wanted someone who understands the overwhelmingness of experiencing everything, everywhere, all at once but ALSO because just like her, she was not good at anything whatsoever. 🤯
it makes sense why at the end joy said "you can be anything, anywhere, go somewhere where your daughter is more than just..-this-. here all we get are a few specs of time where any of this actually makes any sense."
'this' as in being a disappointment to her native universe mom.
this movie has so many layers to it that really add up to its rewatchability! the stellar acting, soundtrack, writing and visuals are why i L.O.V.E it. i'll never forget the ugly laughs/cries i had when i first seen it. thank you for reacting to this masterpiece guys! ❤️
One of the best movies I've seen in 50 years! And of course that man is not real, he is a Goonie :) Thank you for this awsome reaction.
Jamie Lee Curtis ATE this role!!
"The Death of Dick Long" and "Swiss Army Man" are both complete masterpieces by the same writers/directors.
I love how they kept asking who the choreographer is during the scenes where the choreographers are being shown.
New to your channel. But I love it. And such a great movie 😀
“Multiverse Worth of Vomit.” What a coincidence! That’s what I call Doctor Strange 2!!! 😂
