I cried more in the last 35-40 minutes of this movie than I ever have during the entirety of any movie I've ever seen. This movie is something special.
I say this in every comment section for this movie - I'll never forget the weird mixture of crying and laughing that overtook me when Rock Evelyn turned around with her googly eyes and started moving towards Rock Joy. It was simultaneously so goofy and meaningful that my reaction felt like something I'd never felt before.
I've watched nearly every reaction to this movie I have come across, and I've never seen your comment, but I am 100% with you. I've seen this movie 10+ times and watched DOZENS of reactions to it, and that crying-laughing feeling that I get from the google eyes-rock scene is one of many in this film that made me feel that way, and the only time I've felt something like that in my life. I was crying, and then laughing at the fact I was crying about lesbian Jamie Lee Curtis playing the piano with her feet because she has hot dog fingers, and then crying over how sweet she was being to her partner, and then laughing again because a rock with eyes stuck to it was scootching towards another one.... Like, who would ever have thought I could type that sentence and it would make sense? Ever!
This is such an amazing movie! I never thought I would be moved to tears by two rocks sitting in a desert... and Waymond's plea for people to just be kind... it gets me every single time!
This film changed me as a human, a man, a woman supporter... made me appreciate my immigrant parents so much more. I love this life changing film. It is my personal Bible of how i live life from now on... my 10 commandments, and the Daniels are my Gods!!!! 🙌
In 45 years of being on this earth, this is my new favorite movie of all time! I saw it 7 times in the theater and don't worry I cry every time I see it, in several places :)
Ok, since you love movie so much, I will ask you couple of things, how you didn't say watching after eating labelo, sticking things up ass, beating people with pinkie, this movie is getting more and more stupid
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. *ba dum tiss* Thank you for watching this, Addie, and for letting us all watch you watch it. 🥰
Its a story about a family dealing with generational trauma, and looking at depression and ADHD. Such a small scale thing, being told on the largest scale possible. This one really quickly became my all time favorite movie.
This will go down as one of the greatest movies ever made. Period. 50 years from now people will still be talking about it, because the messages it has are timeless.
@@dorigo5347 It has been released four separate times in my area. Now that iy has won Best Picture and six other Oscars, it might be released again! Keep your eyes peeled 🤞🤗
I remember before watching this movie expecting a good movie. It took less than 30 minutes in and I remember vividly thinking to myself, "This is the best movie of the year." And then it just kept getting better and better. Every emotion was stretched to the limit and beyond. I was laughing hysterically, crying from laughing, crying in happiness, crying in sadness, and then laughing again through tears. I'm just going to say it. This movie is perfect in every way. I cannot remember the last time a movie hit me harder then this one. The bar has been re-set for me. All the awards for this movie aren't just deserved, they're already won in my book.
It won the Oscars because there is a part of everyone's life in this movie which most people can relate to and makes you think how you can be better as a person. The message is strong but not imposing. This movie won the Oscars because is it the right step in the right direction bringing humanity together for the better in this messed up world right now....there is still hope for everyone in this world to do the right thing.
@@rastiga9196 I agree. I've run across people online who claim to hate the film, but all I can think of when I hear that is "oh, you must be an asshole then".
The way I see it... People who had. Great life with little to no regrets or sorrow can't empathize with this movie. The moments of realization that we all suffer from nihilism won't hit them the same way it hits the rest of us. The idea that we need to be happy and kind about how life unfolds can only be felt by ppl who felt that way to begin with
When something can make you laugh while crying it's a very special thing... you feel vulnerable and happy at the same time. this is the best film I've seen since maybe The Lighthouse. I cried, I laughed - I was so utterly engrossed in the movie. The way this film manages to convey a very high-concept idea in an easily digestable way is not easy to achieve. Wild, unpredictable, hilarious and with copious amounts of reality and warmth. Love it. Deserves all the accolades in my opinion.
One of my favorite metaphors in the movie: You have to figure out what statistically improbable action will allow you to verse-jump to attain new abilities is the same as You have to do things outside of your comfort zone in order to learn/grow/become.
Great reaction to a surprisingly powerful movie. I hope it foes well at all the awards shows that it appears, because it really deserves all the recognition and accolades it can get.
I watched this in the theater while on LSD and it was a life-changing experience. I had several existential crises, laughed, cried, cry-laughed, laugh-cried, and briefly thought I was going to die right there in the theater. Such a beautiful film, so meaningful ... and not just a movie, but a true work of ART. 💚
Such universal themes in the movie, that are in fact often overlooked in movies, about the mundane of life and our common struggles in our existence: being proud of ourselves, making our parents proud, the weight of the expectations on our shoulders, loving our parents, loving our children, loving our partner. All of this in a silly envelope to wrap it all, but a very colourful one, a patchwork plaid. This was a very inventive movie and a beautifully directed one at that! More movies like this please, thank you the Academy to have sent the signal that this is the kind of movies we want to watch.
They all (actors and directors) deserve awards. Such a dope flick with message that doesn’t beat you over the head trying to explain and it has excellent directing, acting and storytelling…
The 2 guys behind this also made SWISS army man. And I thoroughly encourage you to watch that one too. Very different setting but am amazing amount of heart.
Thanks for the taking the time to react to this Addie. This movie, and the way it was directed, is metaphor for life. The fact that it confuses you, makes cry, then immediately makes you laugh is such a parallel.
What a great reaction! When I first watched this movie it instantly became one of my favorite movies ever. I have talked two different groups of friends into watching it with me so they could experience it as well. There are some fun bits of trivia to explore, like the two directors making cameos and the fight coordinators being TH-camrs but it is safe to say I loved both the movie and your reaction.
Haha yeah EEAAO is non-stop tears and/or laughter. It's so well done; I love that it's true to their name in that they're able to incorporate everything -- so many genres, so many themes, and so many messages and morals.
This movie is so ridiculously good. It’s so good that when I saw The Banshees of Innesharin (another amazing film) I felt sorry for it because in any other year it would’ve been the best movie to come out, but it had the misfortune to open the same year as this.
The Banshees of Inisherin is Citizen Kane level greatness, EEAAO is all quick edit flash with snippets of backstory. I'm not cutting down those who clearly enjoyed this film, for me the multiverse just got in the way of everything. Half an hour of kung fu and MTV edits could have easily been trimmed. Instead of zipping around the universe I would have preferred a lot more backstory. Joy's partner--who is she? What's her story? For such an important character she had what maybe 3 lines? Joy's grandfather, why is he so bitter? Why isn't he proud his daughter owns a business in America? The family assumes he will not accept Joy's partner but then at the end they're quick buddies? Who are the two operators of the multiverse? Where did they come from? Were all the sex toys really necessary to the story? We'll never know because the Daniels put a lot more effort into mise-en-scene than true character development. Love all the actors, especially Michell Yeoh and Stephanie Hsu, it's the story that let me down. Banshees will pick up supporting Oscars for Kerry Condon and Barry Keogan, Colin Farrell's astounding work will be denied over the feel good story of Ke Huy Quan. Michelle Yeoh will get her career Oscar, EEAAO wins Best Picture in the same fashion that Shakespeare in Love somehow beat out Saving Private Ryan.
@@Fred.pSonic You are, of course, entitled to your opinion, but it sounds like you were focusing on extraneous matters. Like if you watched Bashees and spent the whole time asking about the backstory for the musician whose mom was killed by a bread van, or how Padraic got his donkey, or why Mrs. McCormick didn’t get more lines or backstory despite being thematically important. I think they’re both fantastic films, and I watched both multiple times in the theatre and since. Both emotionally resonated with me in ways I have difficulty articulating. However they are stylistically very different; it sounds like you just didn’t vibe with the style of EEaaO.
I watched this is Theaters with my mom. She went to the bathroom and came back to during the hot dog fingers scene, and she responded," Well, that ain't right???" And she first caught the trophies, let's say "shape" and said it out loud the entire audience busted into laughter butt later it came back then everyone was crying 🤣🤣🤣
@@IvoB1987 Evelyn is basically experiencing ADHD throughout the movie, and not just from verse jumping. Having dozens of half-finished hobbies and constant distractions and dreams is some of the main symptoms.
This is easily one of my fav movies of all time now. One of my favourite connections that runs through the movie is Waymond's "this is how I fight"; with kindness. Even from the first meeting at the IRS he brings cookies for Deirdre, and when we get the first Kung Fu training montage for Evelyn her master says "Kung Fu is not just about combat. Even this cookie can be Kung Fu."
One of the best modern masterpiece i've seen in recent years and deserved every rewards and recognition it got. Besides an interesting theme done well (multiverse), over-the-top hilarious action sequences, great editing and heartwarming drama, it's philosophically thought-provoking too. It tells the opposing approach to existentialism that questions our life's purpose and cripples most of us. Pessimistic nihilism vs. optimistic absurdism. The yinyang of everything bagel (black outside, white inside) vs google eyes (white outside, black inside). Empty void inside vs pure core inside. "Nothing matters so might as well die along with everything else" vs "Nothing matters so might as well enjoy life". Waymond taught Evelyn and us the latter.
That's my test of how good a movie is - did it make me laugh, did it make me cry, and did it make me do both at the same time? Every movie that has done the last thing has always been something very special.
Awww Addie. I want into this knowing nothing and I cried just as much if not more than you did. This movie is a master class of story as well as just all out insanity is great.
Truly beautiful battle between nihilism (the bagel) and existentialism (the googly eye) as seen through the generational trauma of being raised asian in America. Saw it 6 times in the theatre....
I just started watching this movie late last night and still have an hour to watch tonight. I'll back to watch your reaction after I do. It's certainly creative and intriguing!
35:18 Same, Addie. Same. I’m one of those people who tend not to feel things. I don’t get emotional. I don’t know if it’s cultural, chemical, nature or nurture (I am English after all). I cheer when my sports team wins, but that’s superficial, it is not the be all and end all. I don’t feel bereft when people die or I see a tragedy on the news. I tend not to experience anything other than intellectual outrage at injustice. I laugh, from the head, at funny jokes - but rarely does it come from the soul. In an astonishing twist of events I am long-time single with very few friends. And yet this movie.... I wept on at least 4 separate occasions in the cinema. I laughed with happy gurgles at scenes involving dildos and butt plugs. I legitimately wondered at the colour, the sound, the imagination, the boldness. Something like this, that captivates me so completely, that brings out such an intensity of all sorts of emotions, happens maybe once a decade. I can’t imagine feeling like that on a daily basis. I simultaneously want it so much and am absolutely terrified of it. But that is how this movie made me feel. _It made me feel._ Just the best.
Excellent reaction, Addie. As an Asian-American, I really enjoyed Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022). The universe where people have hot dogs for fingers was the MOST absurd universe, IMO. And it was awesome when Evelyn used Kung-Fu with her pinky fingers. I even enjoyed that homage to Ratatouille (2007) with Raccacoonie, voiced by Randy Newman. And seeing Evelyn rekindle with Joy to defeat Jobu Tupaki was very sweet. Also, at 13:31, some of the stock footage of Michelle Yeoh was from the premiere of Crazy Rich Asians (2018), please react to that movie. I totally agree with you that this movie as a whole REALLY has Everything Everywhere All at Once. BTW, nice sweater.
@@razorsfury6519 While there are good arguments either way about it mattering or not, it's also massively insensitive to confront someone about it. Letting it go literally would have cost you nothing.
Expressing yourself? How is that expressing yourself? What does you being Asian have to do if you enjoyed a movie or not? Does it make your opinion more valid?
I was shocked to learn how quick they filmed it. They were on the clock because of the approaching COVID lockdown. They filmed this gem in no time, matter of weeks, they had plenty of time in production, though. I think it's the best movie of the Oscar season I saw, but I didn't see everything.
I've had this one on my watch list since it came out. I've been trying to find a job, and saved this one for a reward, as motivation to keep applying. I just finished my new hire paperwork, and let myself watch this video today. Thank you for being awesome, for helping me relive a great movie, and for helping me stay motivated!
Really enjoyed your review of this, and happy to see that it touched you the same as it touched me. I saw it like 5 times in theaters and cried my eyes out each time. So, So, good.
If you haven't seen it yet, About Time is one of my favorite movies, easily in my top 5 (in the mix with a bunch of action movies, like John Wick and The Equalizer). It's a bit of a romantic comedy, but I cry pretty much every time I watch it.
Renci de Shangdi, qing dai wo zou - Merciful God please take me away Wo xiang mei er, mei xin, bian shitou - I will close my eyes and and my heart and become a stone
📌I didn't fully understand the technology and the multiverse, but the reason I loved this movie is because of the themes: 1. Regret - you've done nothing with your life and you wish there is another version of you that was successful and married the person of your dreams. 2. Existential Crisis - if the entire universe will eventually die then what is the point of doing anything. 3. Depression - it's like a black hole that's hard to get out of and the daughter thinks death is the only escape.
Maybe I'm projecting too much, but i feel like ts a wonderful example of how things we hate about ourselves are the things we respond most critically to, in others.
I have not had a chance to see this movie. Your reaction is the 1st time I have seen this movie in any format...btw, 1st comment since the film has won its multiple Academy Awards including Best Director & Picture.
What a disservice to the movie to watch it for the first time like this. Comments like this are why everyone will soon crack down on these "reaction channels."
@Thor Guff hey, I wanted to see the film .... I just never got a chance to see the film... a disservice to the movie? I would seems to think the creators of the film do not care what I do considering how well it is doing in the box office and critical response... what do you mean crack down on "reaction channels"? Do you even know what the purpose of "reaction channels" are? Most of the time, I make sure I see the movie first before I see the movie reaction to a film. Did it ever occur to you that I like this person's reaction to most of the movies she sees? Do not be so judgemental; especially if you do not know who you are critiquing!
You should 100% watch I, Robot next as it recommended, it is a great entertaining film! This is a wonderful film and still hits me hard even after watching a few reactions to it.
The point of EEAAO is that if you experience everything it all becomes diluted, meaningless. All the highs are counterbalanced by the lows. To embrace Active Nihilism. That if nothing TRULY matters... Than we are FREE to create our own meaning for our lives. We don't love what we love, or love who we love because we HAVE to... But because we CHOOSE to.

In 60+ years of watching movies, I've never before seen one with a subtext more powerful than the written script.
It's not subtext if it's text
I know writers who use subtext and they’re all cowards.
The rock scene was wild. I saw the movie in the theatre and it was complete silence during the scene. It was brilliantly done.
Stephanie Hsu deserves many awards for her performance in this. She absolutely kills it as Joy/Jobu.
You forgot Jojo Tabooti
And Juju Chewbacca
And jojo siwa
I cried more in the last 35-40 minutes of this movie than I ever have during the entirety of any movie I've ever seen. This movie is something special.

This movie truly was a cathartic experience in every sense and has helped so many dealing with depression.

It pretty much did
It pretty much won everything! I was happy for Jamie Lee but also felt Stephanie Hsu deserved an Oscar for her part as Joy!
@sayjai bao she definitely did, but for such an awarded movie everyone wasn't gonna get one
Story telling at its finest, glad it got recognition.

This film made me cry in public about a stone with googly eyes stuck on it.
This movie also does a really good portrayal of ADHD. In fact, one of the directors in writing this came to the realization that he had ADHD.
Forgive my ignorance, but who of the characters is supposed to have ADHD and how does it show?
@@IvoB1987 Evelyn is basically experiencing ADHD throughout the movie, and not just from verse jumping. Having dozens of half-finished hobbies and constant distractions and dreams is some of the main symptoms.
I've watched it 4 times and every time I cry. It spoke to me on so many levels and waymond touched my soul.
This is easily one of my fav movies of all time now. One of my favourite connections that runs through the movie is Waymond's "this is how I fight"; with kindness. Even from the first meeting at the IRS he brings cookies for Deirdre, and when we get the first Kung Fu training montage for Evelyn her master says "Kung Fu is not just about combat. Even this cookie can be Kung Fu."
One of the best modern masterpiece i've seen in recent years and deserved every rewards and recognition it got. Besides an interesting theme done well (multiverse), over-the-top hilarious action sequences, great editing and heartwarming drama, it's philosophically thought-provoking too.
It tells the opposing approach to existentialism that questions our life's purpose and cripples most of us. Pessimistic nihilism vs. optimistic absurdism. The yinyang of everything bagel (black outside, white inside) vs google eyes (white outside, black inside). Empty void inside vs pure core inside. "Nothing matters so might as well die along with everything else" vs "Nothing matters so might as well enjoy life". Waymond taught Evelyn and us the latter.
This is the real MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS
I was gonna say that! Lol!!
It definitely set the standard high and Marvel failed to deliver.
LOL you called the Hot Dog fingers! Brilliant!
This may be one of the best movies of all times. There I said it.
Funny thing is you're not alone
Best film of 2022
'...just doing laundry and taxes...' biggest. Heartstring. Tear.
That's my test of how good a movie is - did it make me laugh, did it make me cry, and did it make me do both at the same time? Every movie that has done the last thing has always been something very special.
Awww Addie. I want into this knowing nothing and I cried just as much if not more than you did.
This movie is a master class of story as well as just all out insanity is great.
Best movie I've seen in years. Wish I saw it in theaters.
I’m crying all over again just watching your reaction. Da*n. What a perfect film.
Truly beautiful battle between nihilism (the bagel) and existentialism (the googly eye) as seen through the generational trauma of being raised asian in America. Saw it 6 times in the theatre....
Might be the best movie ever made, and I don't say that lightly!
I just started watching this movie late last night and still have an hour to watch tonight.
I'll back to watch your reaction after I do. It's certainly creative and intriguing!
How did it go?
"Remove the poweeerrrr"
Oh god.
That's the funniest damn reaction I've ever seen.
I've seen this at least a dozen times now and I bawl thru the whole last third at least, never fails
Same reaction as you when I see it, this movie has the ability to make you feel everything all at once!
And they've just got all the awards ❤️
35:18 Same, Addie. Same.
I’m one of those people who tend not to feel things. I don’t get emotional. I don’t know if it’s cultural, chemical, nature or nurture (I am English after all). I cheer when my sports team wins, but that’s superficial, it is not the be all and end all. I don’t feel bereft when people die or I see a tragedy on the news. I tend not to experience anything other than intellectual outrage at injustice. I laugh, from the head, at funny jokes - but rarely does it come from the soul. In an astonishing twist of events I am long-time single with very few friends. And yet this movie.... I wept on at least 4 separate occasions in the cinema. I laughed with happy gurgles at scenes involving dildos and butt plugs. I legitimately wondered at the colour, the sound, the imagination, the boldness.
Something like this, that captivates me so completely, that brings out such an intensity of all sorts of emotions, happens maybe once a decade. I can’t imagine feeling like that on a daily basis. I simultaneously want it so much and am absolutely terrified of it. But that is how this movie made me feel. _It made me feel._
Just the best.
Excellent reaction, Addie. As an Asian-American, I really enjoyed Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022). The universe where people have hot dogs for fingers was the MOST absurd universe, IMO. And it was awesome when Evelyn used Kung-Fu with her pinky fingers. I even enjoyed that homage to Ratatouille (2007) with Raccacoonie, voiced by Randy Newman. And seeing Evelyn rekindle with Joy to defeat Jobu Tupaki was very sweet. Also, at 13:31, some of the stock footage of Michelle Yeoh was from the premiere of Crazy Rich Asians (2018), please react to that movie. I totally agree with you that this movie as a whole REALLY has Everything Everywhere All at Once. BTW, nice sweater.
Just curious, why does it matter if you are Asian?
Why ask? Nothing wrong with expressing yourself.
@@razorsfury6519 While there are good arguments either way about it mattering or not, it's also massively insensitive to confront someone about it. Letting it go literally would have cost you nothing.
Expressing yourself? How is that expressing yourself? What does you being Asian have to do if you enjoyed a movie or not? Does it make your opinion more valid?
I was shocked to learn how quick they filmed it. They were on the clock because of the approaching COVID lockdown. They filmed this gem in no time, matter of weeks, they had plenty of time in production, though. I think it's the best movie of the Oscar season I saw, but I didn't see everything.
But it felt rushed how they went through production
@@lexkanyima2195 it sure didn't to me, it's an award winning movie, I would have guessed they had much more time to work on it.
You are so right about this moving makes you cry and laugh at the same time. Well it’s everything everywhere all at once after all.
“Joy? Why do you looks so stupid?” 😂
Being a huge MCU fan I never would have guessed that my favourite multiversal movie last year was going to be EEAAT
I've had this one on my watch list since it came out. I've been trying to find a job, and saved this one for a reward, as motivation to keep applying. I just finished my new hire paperwork, and let myself watch this video today. Thank you for being awesome, for helping me relive a great movie, and for helping me stay motivated!
Really enjoyed your review of this, and happy to see that it touched you the same as it touched me. I saw it like 5 times in theaters and cried my eyes out each time. So, So, good.
Everybody need Waymond in their life
How in the Multiverse Hell did you actually guess the hotdog universe? That's so improbable you may have found your own jumping point.
Maybe she watched the trailer, and finally made the connection with the hotdog scene 😂
If you haven't seen it yet, About Time is one of my favorite movies, easily in my top 5 (in the mix with a bunch of action movies, like John Wick and The Equalizer). It's a bit of a romantic comedy, but I cry pretty much every time I watch it.
This was my favorite movie of 2022
Renci de Shangdi, qing dai wo zou - Merciful God please take me away
Wo xiang mei er, mei xin, bian shitou - I will close my eyes and and my heart and become a stone
A simple story of family.
📌I didn't fully understand the technology and the multiverse, but the reason I loved this movie is because of the themes:
1. Regret - you've done nothing with your life and you wish there is another version of you that was successful and married the person of your dreams.
2. Existential Crisis - if the entire universe will eventually die then what is the point of doing anything.
3. Depression - it's like a black hole that's hard to get out of and the daughter thinks death is the only escape.
Maybe I'm projecting too much, but i feel like ts a wonderful example of how things we hate about ourselves are the things we respond most critically to, in others.
I have not had a chance to see this movie. Your reaction is the 1st time I have seen this movie in any format...btw, 1st comment since the film has won its multiple Academy Awards including Best Director & Picture.
What a disservice to the movie to watch it for the first time like this. Comments like this are why everyone will soon crack down on these "reaction channels."
@Thor Guff hey, I wanted to see the film .... I just never got a chance to see the film... a disservice to the movie? I would seems to think the creators of the film do not care what I do considering how well it is doing in the box office and critical response... what do you mean crack down on "reaction channels"? Do you even know what the purpose of "reaction channels" are? Most of the time, I make sure I see the movie first before I see the movie reaction to a film. Did it ever occur to you that I like this person's reaction to most of the movies she sees? Do not be so judgemental; especially if you do not know who you are critiquing!
This movie gets me every damn time, its so good , just everything
Ladies out there, look for your Waymonds
This movie was so touching, I loved it. Me impactó tanto, me hizo reflexionar sobre mi vida.
#HeardOften 'Laughing while crying.'
Michelle was awesome...Have you seen her previous work? She was in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Another awesome movie
Best movie ever
awesome reaction 💫
I saw this 4 times and my 4th date cried 4 times, you're not alone
hoping this sweep the oscars on Sunday
Movie is brilliantly bonkers! ♥
This movie wrecked me as I identified with Joy a lot. Not sure I'm ready to watch reactions of this (yet) but I'm glad you watched!
This is a really good movie. Even my boomer dad thought it was good
I’m 60 and thought it was creative, emotional, fun, and has one of the best casts ever. And I’m obsessed with the rocks.
This is the most amazing movie I've experienced in a loooong time.
30:20 This is the first time I saw that and it was hilarious lol
You should 100% watch I, Robot next as it recommended, it is a great entertaining film!
This is a wonderful film and still hits me hard even after watching a few reactions to it.
Beautiful movie
a veery special and important film.
You try to explain this movie to someone who hasn't seen it and you sound like a crazy person. 😂Love Michelle Yeoh.
The point of EEAAO is that if you experience everything it all becomes diluted, meaningless. All the highs are counterbalanced by the lows. To embrace Active Nihilism. That if nothing TRULY matters... Than we are FREE to create our own meaning for our lives. We don't love what we love, or love who we love because we HAVE to... But because we CHOOSE to.
"Don't go into the bagel!"
Great movie! Now this movie is worthy of an Oscar, unlike Top Gun Maverick. Still unbelievable that crap movie is even considered.
I never imagined that I would see Michelle yeoh do the Naruto run. What a movie!
