    "finally somebody understood that I can do these things" this line speaks not just for her but for all the Evelyn Wang variants in the vast multiverse. it's so poetic to hear her say that.

      That’s so true. The movie is not just about the potential of one human being, but also the potential of human kindness. That’s what the Daniels gave Michelle Yeoh.

      I just started watching the movie for the second time last night (obsessed with it and just went I hadn't bought the Blu-ray ;)) , I got an enormous grin when I realized that her very first verse jump is pretty much into her own real life self, the beloved movie star who can do amazing kung fu.

      Jackie has also gone through the same things. Despite being a blockbuster, he's struggled despite several attempts to become a 'respected' or 'serious' actor (which I think he managed perfectly in at least a couple of his films).
      It goes to show how important it was for him when the Oscars gave him an honorary lifetime achievement award. I can only hope that Michelle Yoeh and Everything Everywhere All At Once get every Oscar that night. I can't think of a better film in decades, it certainly is, and will remain so, a certified modern classic.

Maybe she will in 20-30 years. (Also, just my opinion; IU is held back by her 'idol persona' because she is forced into a position where she *always* has to look pretty. Which she is. But it means that her ability to emote sadness and anger is held back by a need to still seem poised and beautiful, and it means that her characters all show emotion the same way. Her range is limited by her company's demand that she upholds her 'little sister' image.)

    In Crazy Rich Asians she apeared not that many times like she said only twice with the son (male lead) but throughout the whole movie you feel her presence, that's how much she nailed her role in the movie and honestly she should've at least been nominated for an Oscar for that movie as well.

    And how right she was. Everything Everywhere All at Once shows the real capabilities of Michelle Yeoh. She's not just the stunt action, the stoic mom, she can be everything all at once. This project has given us a lot to think about while being crazy entertaining. Just refreshing.

    What an icon... I've loved her ever since Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

    she most definitely deserved the academy award. she has been iconic for decades and EEAAO is genuinely one of the most amazing films i’ve ever seen. The direction and the acting performances had the ability to make me cry and laugh multiple times on every viewing (of which there were and will be many)

    Love her so much! As an Asian person, I think she means a lot to me because the first thing I saw her in was Tomorrow Never Dies, and that was possibly the first time I'd ever seen a strong Asian character in a Western movie.
    On top of that, she just seems like such a nice, down to earth, unpretentious person that just conducts herself with such poise and professionalism

    Everything Everywhere All at Once quickly became one of my all time favorite movies, and she's a big part of why. Evelyn is such an amazing and compeling character, and I cannot imagine anybody else being able to do her justice. Michelle really deserves an Oscar, because that movie is the perfect acting reel.

    Michelle Yeoh had to make me cry ONE LAST TIME with this video LOL I sobbed at the end of Everything, Everywhere All at Once and to see that role meant so much to her, I definitely felt it on the screen when watching that film. What a beautiful and passionate soul she is UGH

    Not only did someone finally understand that Michelle could do all these things, someone finally wrote a freaking script featuring a multidimensional Asian woman who could be all these things!!!
    Ps. Michelle’s ring feels like a nod to the traditional jade bracelets that many Asian women have worn, but with a modern twist. I love everything about this woman and this film!!!

    I first saw her in Memoir’s of a Geisha when I was little and the movie was on tv and I remember just falling in love with her soft yet strong voice and her performance. I thought she was so beautiful and elegant, and she still is to this day.

    She's so amazing at everything she does. Even though it was a supporting character I would have put Mameha(Memoirs of a Geisha) there too.

    What Michelle doesn't say is that she had no idea how to ride a motorcycle during Supercop and there was no wires or netting and she still did the stunt. During Crouching Tiger she had a torn ACL for scenes with her fighting with all the Weapons She's a BEAST!!!

      It was an incredible performance in a beautiful movie, but that movie was incredibly controversial at the time for a large number of reasons so I can understand why it would be strange to talk about it.

    Having watched Everything Everywhere All at Once last night, I can confirm Michelle Yeoh absolutely nailed everything she set out to do. She really helped make what I think will be the best film of 2022.

  • @toriodell5246

    The courage and strength of this woman. The way she carries herself, has always been so admirable. I was young when I first saw her and rediscovered her a few years ago. I thought she had more recognition back then until eeoao was coming around. She was why I was going to see it. I’m so glad to see her get it now. She’s also has a beautiful story that inspires me in my own life. all the love for her
