- Ke Huy Quan and Michelle Yeoh are phenomenal in Everything Everywhere All At Once!! All of the actors were perfectly cast, and were amazingly absurd 😍 I loved the combination of sci-fi/fantasy elements.

Supercop -1992 (also called Police Story 3) is a Jackie Chan Movie that Michelle Yeoh is in and in which she does some amazing stunts. Then there is of course Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon - 2000 ... which is beautiful.
... You may also already know this, but look up who Waymond is. He came out of retirement from acting for this roll.
Michelle Yeoh was in Tomorrow Never Dies which is the 2nd Pierce Brosnan / James Bond, Sunshine and she is one of the best parts of the New Star Trek shows
@@HapsardKe Huynh Quan did not retire from acting. He was in Encino Man with Brendan Fraser in 1992, and has had an acting role in every 4 years up until this movie. Before this movie he was in Finding O'Hana in 2021. He just has had supporting roles.
@@aTofuJunkie sorry. I was misinformed. I heard a story that he was disillusioned with the rolls he was getting after being a child star and left acting. I should have done further research. 😢
@@Hapsard You're correct, he was disillusioned with the American movie industry because he couldn't get any good parts. The small part he had in Encino Man 1992 was the last American made movie he was in till EEAAO. He did act in Asian movies, but not in any American productions for over 25 years.
The "laundry and taxes" line is an absolute killer.
It is!!!! 😭
@@VerowakReacts That whole universe is supposed to be reminiscent of Wong Kar Wai films. That style and aesthetic. Which you should check out his films.
I think you would appreciate the brilliant acting of Tony Leung. Very good actor of eye acting.
Like the most romantic line I’ve heard in a while. Basically “even if our lives are tiring and mundane, it’s worth it if I can spend it with you,” destroys me every time 😭
slays me....
This movie is a true gem that has so much depth and texture that you'll enjoy revisiting it from time to time. The part I appreciate so much is that the absolute randomness isn't just put in for laughs but actually used thoughtfully. The put in hot dog fingers but it's also a universe where Dierdre and Evelyn have a relationship that is also on the rocks and even little tidbits like Dierdre's hand brace is in her foot in that universe.
I completely missed that the handbrace is on her foot! I feel like I'll notice more and more little fun facts when I rewatch it
This movie is so weird but so beautiful. I like most people have been through some really heartbreaking stuff, my girlfriend passed away over a year ago now and I shut down completely and withdrew from most things in my life and felt as though I couldn't love anyone again. I met a new friend that I started to develop feelings for around the time of this movie, Watching this movie changed me deeply, I wanted to live and love again.
You won't find too much (recent) stuff from Ke Huy Quan, unfortunately. He retired from acting for awhile because he kept getting offered bad or stereotypical roles, so moved into stunt coordination and fight choreography. Prior to this he was best known as a child actor with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and The Goonies being the things he's best known for. Both are definitely worth a watch, though ToD is probably one of the lesser Indiana Jones movies. The good news is that he'll likely be appearing in a lot more stuff in the future given the success of the movie and how well his performance was received...
He's also well known for Encino Man with Brendan Fraser in 1992.
I love how the googly eyes and the bagel are yin and yang. The bagel is death (or in Jobu's case, suicide) and misery, while the googly eyes represent life and, well, joy.
There's a method to this movie's madness and it's nothing short of brilliant.
Canada tissues definitely should come in bags like the milk This was such a fun movie and another great reaction video as always Vero!
Everything in milk bags!! lol :D Thank you 😁
I'm glad the movie made as big a splash as it did. It would have been easy to be remembered as that wacky movie where people do crazy things and nothing more. Instead it is remembered for its solid core and the wackiness, while awesome in its own right, is just the cherry on top.
I didn't know what all the hype was about, especially since the poster seems cluttered and confusing. I'm really glad I watched it, it's high up there on mylist of favorite movies. It's definitely one of, if not the most, weird and absurd movie I've seen that flows so well
I love Ke Huy Quan in this, he's always been one of my favorites ever since the days of Short Round and Data :D
This is the first movie I see him in, I will have to watch what else he's been in!!
@@VerowakReacts Short Round is a character in Indiana Jones 2
@@VerowakReactsHe is going to be in Loki Season 2 and the new show American Born Chinese.
@@VerowakReacts He played Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Data in The Goonies. These were when he was a kid.
Great reaction! The old "Laundry and taxes" gets me every time.
Yes!!! Such a simple line but just means so much
If you think about how "big" this movie is, all the scenes and the set pieces, It's really great that there was only 2 major locations. The Tax office and the Laundromat.
I love seeing movies have few locations! It's always impressive to see how little is more
A movie this absurd has no right to be so emotional, but dang it works so well. (nice ad placements by the way)
The fact that rocks had so much personality was so weird, but it worked!! Thanks, I place the ads strategically so it doesn't ruin a scene lol
39:22 I love how your nose turns red when you cry. It's adorable! 🥰
There are a few layers to this movie - and it’s one of my favorites of the last decade for sure. At least three of these layers / themes I personally find very relatable.
There’s the theme about the human condition - our need for connection, how hard it can be to really relate to the people we love, the need for kindness and understanding, and how overwhelming our lives can be.
On another level, it’s (semi-deliberately) a quite apt artistic representation of what (severe) ADHD can feel like almost all the time. You’re unmoored in time - overwhelmed by the flood and diversity of impressions, thoughts - and especially tasks… to a degree where you feel alone and separated from everyone around you. You become very aware of the absurdity of it all - how very simple tasks that you are physically perfectly capable of doing and perfectly aware of why you should just do them and how to do the are just …impossible. You see all these possibilities of what you could do and could be - but you'll never live up to that potential.
Finally, there’s the philosophical themes. As a philosophy grad, I was quite intrigued by how Nietzschean the plot-progression and the character-development for Joy and Evelyn are: Nietzsche describes many themes - but there is a central epistemic and pragmatic progression that he tells about, where traditional certainties like god, individual creation, providence, objective meaning, objective ethical values, or assuredness and safety in one’s personal and communal identity (including family) no longer can be just believed in with good conscience.
Then comes disappointment, desorientation, despair, horror and moral outrage at the actual state of the world. Then a growing awareness of the absurdity and randomness of it all - nihilism. A cynical resignation that it’s all meaningless and useless because nothing is objective and none of the traditional certainties of life hold up.
But then - and perhaps most importantly to Nietzschean thought, those that can will take a step further - look at the world and human life in all its arbitrariness and absurdity… and then say “yes” to that - embrace it. Recognize the opportunity to exert creative power and construct meaning and value ourselves. To Nietzsche, nihilism was like a ladder to discard after having ascended it.
The later existentialists and nihilists differ from Nietzsche in that they don’t really take this last, positive, affirmative step. Of course, the specifics of all this and especially Nietzsches’s thought are fathoms deeper than I can represent here (and are sometimes quite radical in several uncomfortable ways).
But the progression I sketched is definitely a central theme both in Nietzsche’s work and in this this movie… I was quite taken with how the movie incorporated and represented all these themes in one story.
Good comment!!! I also want to mention the everything bagel and the googly eyes. It represent the way in which the characters view the world-like a ying and yang-order and chaos.
Sunshine (2007) is a very underrated movie featuring Michelle Yeoh. If you want to see more of Jamie Lee Curtis work, you can't go wrong with True Lies!
I just realised today that our own respective computer rooms are the same color 🤣
I keep hearing that True Lies is a great movie! I'll most likely watch it after I see Arnold in Terminator (I want the first Arnold movie I watch to be Terminator lol)
Computer rooms are the same color? One of us is going to have to change 😂
Nominated for 10 oscars, won 7.
As much as I'd love to say Ke Huy Quan carried this film with his phenomenal performance every single person did an amazing job.
It was an amazing ensemble cast!! I love it when a movie has the kind of cast in which they all shine
“Yes, please do. I like universes.” 😂
45:55 That version of _Freaky Friday_ is a remake of the 1976 version that I grew up on, starring Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster.
As a child, the actor playing Waymond was in two fairly well known movies: 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom' (as Short Round), and 'The Goonies' (as Data).
I'll have to watch those at some point!
Great reaction as always , Ke Huy Quan (Weyland), took a break from Acting for a while but he was in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom as Short Round and he was Data in The Goonies!
Both movies that I haven't seen... yet
@VerowakReacts Goonies is top 3 favourite for me, a classic
@@VerowakReacts Wow! Ke Huy Quan's performance in this film is so much more powerful when you know his past.
i love how you weren't too weirded out, or like, of course weirded out because how could you not with this movie:D but in the few reaction to this i've seen people were quite uncomfortable or disgusted with all the weirdness (e.g. trophy fight scene lol) and i like how you're just smiling and enjoying everything because this movie is meant to be like that and it's just a wild ride from start to finish:D
The trophy fight scene was so ridiculous 🤣 Everything about this movie is just absurd and insane, it was so great!
This is the best movie from, at least, the last 10 years. It's pretty much brilliant!
It really is. A mix of so many genres, just so well executed!
To see your genuine excitement over the verse jumping makes your reaction enjoyable
I so wish I could verse jump!! Such an awesome concept 😁
My thought coming out of the theatre the first time I saw this: This will win all the awards.
And it won so many!!
I finally got to watch this a couple days ago when it became available to rent on TH-cam.
It sucks having to wait for movies to become available on certain streaming services :(
When the topic of "best movie you've ever seen" comes up, I have a very short list of films I think have to be in the conversation. For over 20 years (since Mulholland Dr. in 2001), there were five movies on my list. Now there are six. 🙂
So glad you had tissues when you started. This movie is a good example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. You can dissect it and see 2 big pieces/segments and several small short films that are quirky and have their own subplots. But the Daniels weaved them masterfully giving us the multiverse movie we never knew we've always wanted.
You said it so well! Not everyone would be able to take all of these different aspects and parts and put them together so beautifully!
No other film brings tears by talking about doing laundry and taxes.
It's such a well made film!!
I really wish I could watch this with my ex-wife, who is from the culture and speaks 3 of the languages. The Chinese family stuff at the start would have her nailed from the beginning. But ex-wife.
so you know how the doctor says "I'm sorry, it's a girl" when she's born? My ex didn't get a name from her parents. Got named by the midwife when they didn't. These old-school Chinese parents can be seriously cruel to daughters for being female
They were definitely cruel, it's just mind blowing when you think about it.
The best a24 films I’ve seen are ex machina, the lighthouse, and midsommar. Although there are several I haven’t seen that are very liked such as uncut gems and hereditary.
Good Time is also good.
The teen drama The Spectacular Now is also good.
It seems I'll have to choose more A24 films in the future. I really liked Ex Machina, and now this one too!!
This movie was a true multiverse of madness lol
It really was! Accessing the multiverse in this movie is fantastically done
I assume someone already wrote this, but anyway: If you want to see more movies with the Waymond actor, watch Temple of Doom or The Goonies.
Indiana Jones is on my list to watch!
I will continue to shout from the rooftops how amazing this movie is to anyone who will listen. I don't care if sounds like hyperbole, but this movie literally cured my depression! I've always been a bit of a nihlist who believed that nothing we did matters. I was Jobu without the cool powers. I believed that, eventually, the human race will end, the sun will explode, the universe will collapse in on itself, etc... so why bother? What is the point of life and living, if nothing we do matters.
This movie taught me a different way to view that same nihilism: if nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do.
We can profoundly effect the world we live in just by being kind. Whether you believe in "religion" or "god" or "a higher power" or just that we are a giant coincidence created by billions of things going EXACTLY right to create a living being that can perceive the universe which created it. None of that matters. What matters is what we do with the time that we're here. That's all. Nothing else. It doesn't matter if our efforts are appreciated, or even noticed, because we control how we perceive the universe in which we live!
This movie is a modern miracle that spoke to my soul, and no matter how many times I watch it, I'm exhausted from crying at the end. This movie is..... EVERYTHING.
And to top everything off, they win seven of the eleven Oscars they were nominated for! I don't think I've ever actually cheered aloud at an award announcement, but I sure as heck did for this movie! Louder and louder each time they won and literally stood up and danced for the Best Picture!
Thank you for sharing YOUR reaction to this movie with the world.
This movie is just so amazing in that it really makes us think. It's really great when movies and stories can do that, and can help us understand ourselves better if we take the time to reflect!
I'm glad to hear that this movie has had such an effect on you!!
FUN FACT: The raccoon is voiced by frequent Disney/Pixar composer, Randy Newman. :)
Oh really? I didn't know that, that's actually amazing
From the same directors I can also recommend the great and weird movie "Swiss Army Man" with Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano.
Another weird movie directed by The Daniels is 'Swiss Army Man'. Maybe a bit more baffling the Everything, Everywhere,. All At Once. Another good, weird one is 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' directed by Michel Gondry.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a movie that I've wanted to see, but just never got around to it. I like seeing comedic actors in serious movies, they are usually amazing at it
Great reaction like always i realy like this movie its so good and for me one of the best of A24 Studios, great cast and story i was so happy for Ke Huy Quan for the oscar and his comeback and also for the legendary Michelle Yeoh and Jamie Lee Curtis. I hope you will react to more A24 movies, keep up the amazing work.
Thank you!! There will for sure be more A24 films!! The actors were all so amazing and perfect!!
This movie was everything that Dr Strange and the Multiverse of Madness wasn't.
Exact;y! When I first saw that was my exact thought of 'this is how you do a goddamn multiverse movie!
(it's not a Marvel movie just because the Russo brothers are involved...!)
It was great fun watching you react to this movie!
I avoided this for like a year...don't like overhyped movies
This BLEW ME AWAY!! I love watching people watch it for the first time! I tell people to be prepared for a wild wide...but then I remember there is now way to be prepared for this movie.
Watching reactions, I get to catch things I never did before. At the end when she asks Waymend to take off his belt, I realized she asks him to do that so she can hug him closer. I also finally noticed Diedre calls her Evelyn, not Mrs. Wang, at the end. Subtle things, but makes it so much more meaningful.
Overhyped movies tend to push me away from them too!! I didn't notice those things, that must mean I should rewatch it then!
@@VerowakReacts There are even more details I notice every time I watch a reaction video.
Fun reaction! This movie is everything everywhere all at once ;)
It really is!! It has everything in it 😁
Well, you are doing an excellent job of watching movies I haven’t seen!!
Time to watch those movies then! 😁
Gotta watch Swiss army man.
Is the Daneils first full film.
Youll love it😜😂😎🇬🇧lol
Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness - "There."
Everything Everywhere all at Once - "Hold my beer ... "
😂 For sure my favorite multiverse movie
Sorry for getting carried away, but I really like this movie and the actors.
A24 movies: the creepy Hereditary (2018) and Midsommar (2019) come to mind. Along with the strange Swiss Army Man (2016) and The Lobster (2016). There are plenty more Wiki or IMDB would give a better list.
Ke Huy Quan (Waymond) was a child actor in the 80's (playing Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) and Data in The Goonies (1985)). He found parts hard to get as an adult , so he moved behind the camera for such things as helping choreograph fight sequences in X-Men (2000). This movie was a return to Holywood acting for him. And boy did he make me wish he had been in more.
For Jamie Lee Curtis, I can only add True Lies (1994), A Fish Called Wanda (1988), and Knives Out (2019) as a start.
For Michelle Yeoh I will only mention Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000).
Stephanie Hsu (Joi) I need to see more from her.
Finally James Hong (Gong Gong), a great actor from many films. The one that sticks out to me is Big Trouble in Little China (1986).
No need to be sorry, at all!! I've heard of Swiss Army Man and how Daniel Radcliffe is a dead body used as a human jetski or something? 🤣
I'll be watching Indiana Jones soon, so that's even better to know that Ke Huy Quan is in it!! Seems like there are a lot of movies on my to watch list that you mentioned 😍
Thank you for all the movie mentions
22:32 The "Ave Maria" woman is not weird at all. Amateur musical theatre is my hobby, so suddenly breaking out into song seems quite normal to me.
For some people it would be weird, for others it wouldn't. Same with eating chapstick perhaps 🤣
Love this movie! glad you enjoyed it 😊
The movie was amazing!!! I'll be watching your reaction to it this week, I can't wait 😍
If you want to check out an older movie with Jamie Lee Curtis, check out Trading Places. It's really a vehicle for Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd, but Jamie was great in it too.
This is the first time I hear of this movie lol
26:40 Check out _Team America: World Police_ (2004).
All I know from that movie is "MatT dAmOn"
We're all strong until that tax line comes
It's impossible to see it coming, too! So well delivered
A simple story of family 😄🙃
Just a regular family. Nothing crazy going on 😁
7:33 You know what they are? I'm very disappointed! 🤣
Thanks, Verowak! 👁 #VerowakReacts #DanielKwan #DanielScheinert #EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce
💙💜
💗
'doing laundry and taxes with you' is, imo, the emotional pinnacle of the film. Every one breaks here.
Never would have thought that that line would be emotional lol
It was fun watching this in the cinema when it first came out. An entire (albeit sparse) audience crying at a scene with just two rocks on the screen. Brilliant screenwriting and direction, the absurdism breaks the audience's reality and lets them immerse themselves in the movie. Aided of course by incredible actors led by the incomparable Michelle Yeoh (I've been a fan sine Yes Madam). When nothing matters then everything you do matters.
The Daniels other movie, Swiss Army Man, is also well worth watching. Daniel Radcliffe gets to play a flatulant dead body in it. Enough said.
Rocks having a personality is not something I ever expected to see in a movie lol
7:33 Why does everyone always say that? They are Auditor of the Month awards. Obviously.
How about Short Round from _Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom_? Jamie Lee Curtis, I go to _Trading Places_ myself.
swiss army man bya24 is great
You really do have anmazing smile ::)
Aww, thank you!
Not just Mandarin, Cantonese and Malaysian
That's even better!!!
Best movie.
It really is amazing!
Best. 'Everything Bagel' Reaction. Ever. #JustOneLook
I just couldn't 😂
For a great movie featuring Jamie Lee Curtis, I would strongly recommend A Fish Called Wanda, where she shines with costars John Cleese, Kevin Kline and Michael Palin. Incredible movie.
On a different note, if I recall, this is the first movie in history to win three acting awards. (Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Kwan and Jamie Lee Curtis. (And you've seen Ke Huy Kwan before if you've watched Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom or The Goonies!)
This was the first movie I've seen Ke Huy Kwan in, so I'll have to watch the others at some point. The whole cast was stellar, I think there should be an Oscar for when a whole cast is outstanding!
This movie took a long time to win me over. The fight against the guards at the start didn't feel like some kind of triumphant scene but guards getting beat up for trying to escort some violent visitors out the building. Evelyn is obviously not a likeable protagonist (part of the point of the movie) and I felt like the movie took too long to get to its conclusion, but the conclusion was 10/10. The last 20 minutes made up for the rest of the film in my opinion.
It's good to have protagonists that are flawed and have character development
It’s hard not to say “Everything everywhere all at once” when giving a review or describing what happens in the movie 😀
It really is! When you haven't seen it, you have no idea why that title is just so perfect for the movie, then it all makes sense as you watch it
Ke Huy Quan...
20 years way from Hollywood... than THIS :)
He was absolutely amazing!!
19:48 Everything bagels are a US thing. We Aussies just see a black doughnut (or donut to you North Americans).
It's also a Canadian thing, and doughnuts are spelled correctly in Canada
@@VerowakReacts Well, at least we can tell Yanks and Canucks apart by the way they spell. 😉
I ever thought I would see the day a movie featuring a kung fu fight between combattants trying to shove buttplugs up themselves to gain super powers would win an oscar. Or that I would feel said movie DSERVED to win it! But here we are eh? :P Abolutely wonderful movie... utterly insane obviously but just magnificent!
Really just such an absurd movie, but it somehow just works so well! Showing random scenes to people in the 90s that this movie would win Oscars would make them think we're crazy
@@VerowakReacts absolutely! It's pretty much like watching a bruce lee movie on a very large amounts of Acid (ot at least I imagine so... not something Ive ever tried personally :P)
A24 films I'd recommend are...
A Most Violent Year
The Spectacular Now
The Lighthouse
Good Time
Uncut Gems
Moonlight
Amy (documentary on Amy Winehouse)
Swiss Army Man
Lady Bird
I've seen one of those :D Uncut Gems A Most Violent Year has been on my list to watch for a while but just haven't gotten around to it for some reason
@@VerowakReacts Uncut Gems is an amazing Adam Sandler Drama, but one of his more under-appreciated dramas is Punch Drunk Love (2002). He plays a man who is socially anxious in a relationship. Very relatable film.
Not A24 though but it is on The Criterion Collection.
He was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama that year.
I love Jamie Lee Curtis but Stephanie Hsu was robbed. She deserves that Emmy...
Stephanie Hsu was just fantastic!! She was perfect for the role
*Oscar
