What I love about Ke Huy Quan’s performance is how each version of Waymond feels unique and distinct. Michelle spoke in an interview about how hard he worked building each character with his acting coach, and I think it shows. He’s the heart of this movie for sure.
I agree, he is the MVP. But I think Becky deserves credit for being the character who REALLY has no clue what is going on, doesn't even understand two of the three languages being spoken, but is still ALWAYS supporting Joy.
The story about your mother was very touching and i kind of understand the feeling.... For years me and my father had a horrible relationship, it was hard to even say we were related. But now he seems to understand the pain he had caused me, he apologised many times now and tries to get close to me, we even talk about video games and movies together, like my childhood was being brought back to life. I think that some parents need time to learn and understand their place in the universe, just how Evelyn did. I wish you a lot of happiness and stay well
Everyone I know, including myself, were left speechless and stammering for a little while after the movie ended. Thank you for your beautiful and heartfelt reaction. ❤
Me and my friend were stunned after leaving the theater. We ended up sitting in the car like an hour in the parking lot just completely at a loss for words as the raw emotions that felt contradictory washed over us. Took us awhile to really collect our thoughts? 😅
This is my new favorite movie because it actually have an impact in my life and change my life perspective for real unlike others where I just purely enjoy it a lot.
The biggest highlight of the film for me was seeing Ke Huy Quan absolutely kill it as Waymond. After having loved him as Short Round, it was so great seeing him in this movie, and get to see him show off his range.
OH SHIT! It IS him! That's Short Round! --- his voice was so familiar (I only saw this movie a week ago) I'm thrilled for him. He was superb. I'm always worried for child actors who are elevated to stardom, but then reach adulthood, and suddenly realise they're not so cute anymore. What a terrific performance - every bit as good as Michelle's - surely - Oscar-winning performance. Playing two different characters at once.
I saw this film 2 weeks ago and I'm still thinking about it. Things are not going great for me right now, but if everything is meaningless, you have to make it mean something.
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 destroy everything" vs "Nothing matters so might as well enjoy life". Waymond taught Evelyn and us the latter.
“Nothing matters so might as well enjoy life” You think that was the message? I thought it was “love gives meaning to life, it proves that things do matter”. If You’re right, this movie is wrong in more ways than I thought. I mean, just might as well enjoy it, is not gonna cut it if you’re having serious issues in your life. You need meaning in times that you’re not able to enjoy your life.
@@daan260 it's related. I just worded it like that because i still want to use the phrase "Nothing Matters" which is the core of the movie. Because even how you view things (may it be positive/negative), It doesn't change the fact that nothing matters, it's just how you deal with it. In other words: *"We all find meaning in this purposeless existence"*
@@soulscyther666 I don't agree at all that "nothing matters" is a fact, so I dislike a movie who claims that as being a fact. Also I don't think you can just tell yourself to view things in a positive way when you're simply suffering. "We all find meaning in this purposeless existence" that's a contradiction by definition, unless you believe that our thoughts don't exist. I think modern people spiritually deprived and see reality in a materialistic way. I think this is fundamentally flawed and this movie is a perfect representation of the issue's that those people are struggling with. I would even say that this movie is specifically made for those people.
@@daan260 that's why the movie shows the two opposing views, and hence my og comment. You can have the other as belief, and that doesn't void the other. Anyway, what i meant on my quote was we CAN cling to any self-consolation we can think of to justify that we exist for a "greater" reason, and not just a tiny speck to an uncaring universe that wouldn't count it as its loss if you exist or not. God didn't create us. It's the other around, we created them to delude ourselves that imaginary deities have "plans" for us. We find our own meaning. To quote another show, a simple dialogue that's related to this two opposing views, and speaks volume philosophically. Person1: Life's a bitch, then you die. Right? Person2: Sometimes. Sometimes life's a bitch and then you keep living. *"It is what you make of life."*
@@soulscyther666 In your first comment you made a nice comparison to the philosophy of yin yang, but I don't see how it relates to absurdism apart from the fact that it's in between nihilism and existentialism. Not everything in the middle of 2 opposites is automatically yin yang however. I still think absurdism is wrong, because it's not a permanent solution. I agree with you that we find our own meaning. But we find it because it's in our DNA. We do not create our own meaning, we discover it. I think we receive our meaning from god, because I believe the universe is a living entity with inherent meaning. Every living organism is striving for progress through the proces of evolution. from the big bang till today, everything is a fluctuating progression. To participate in this progress is just to accept reality for what it is. To look at reality as a meaningless mass of atoms is wrong on so many levels. anyways, feel free to disagree
@@dsscam first of all, no need to insult the movie just cause it wasn't to your taste. That's just poor form, and kind of lessens the weight of your argument. I think you also need to realize that your opinion, as valid as it may be for you personally, is in the minority. This is an incredibly well received movie from both a critical and audience perspective, and nothing you say will change that. Second of all, I was talking across 45 different award organizations that recognized both Return Of The King and EEAAO, in which EEAAO won 138 awards vs RoK's 127. And that was before the Oscars. IGN did a whole write up on it, it's very easy to find.
Thanks for sharing your story. I was an abandoned child but I was fortunate to have relatives who would adopt me for a few years before I got passed on to another relative and another which probably how I turned out to be a level-headed person who gets along with everyone. Yes, it should be required viewing for old folks to "see" their families.
In one of the scenes where Joy/Jobu is talking to Evelyn in a forest, she breaks off a branch and holds it up, which then turns into a rapid series of frames of different items, most only single frame edits, and many people missed that in the very last frame she is actually holding an Academy Award, which turned out to be very prescient since, tonight, they're up for 11 Oscars - the most of any film this year - and I read somewhere that the movie has already won more total combined awards than any other film ever. I’ll always be grateful that I got to see this in an IMAX pre-release screening in a packed theater. The huge screen and sound system, combined with the collective audience experience during all the incredible surprising moments in the this film was one of my all-time favorite movie-going experiences. While I don't really like art being put into categories as "best", I'm really pulling for this film because it was such a small film and so incredibly original. And, come on, everything in Michelle Yeoh's career all funneled perfectly into this role and she deserves to be the first Asian actress to win the Academy Award for Best Actress. And James Hong has 451 credits in his IMDB profile, going back to 1954. Legend.
Thank you for sharing the story about your mother and your sister. I'm sure things will be better with your mom when she watches this movie. Tonight is the Academy Awards and this movie has been nominated 11 times. Michelle Yeoh was nominated for Best Actress, Jamie Lee Curtis was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, and Ke Huy Quan (Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom) was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. I hope it wins Best Picture as well.
My only complaint is that Ke Huy Quan is not nominated for Best Actor... Waymond is integral to this story, and almost more important of a character than Evelyn. It's a shame that he is considered as a "supporting" role in this film... he deserves to win the highest level of award for his acting. With that said, I am not familiar with how Hollywood makes these decision, as I am not in the business. Regardless, EEAAO is one of the finest pieces of art that I have ever witnessed, and I'm so happy to live in a timeline where it exists. Much love and light to anyone who is reading this! :-)
@@RraMakutsi True, but he likely would’ve lost against Brendan Fraser. Having said that, it would’ve given them a chance to become the 4th film ever to win the Big 5 Oscars.
@@rickardroach9075 fair point about Brendan Fraser... my heart was so overwhelmed with the true surprise and joy that all of the winners expressed, but Brendan's win was well earned. As far as your other point, I understand that the "Big 5" is best pic/actor/actress/director/screenplay, whichbhas happened 3x. However, I found it interesting that no film has ever received best pic as well all 4 acting awards (best actor/actress and supporting actor/actress). EEAAO did become only the 3rd film to win 4/5 though... the last time that happened was "Network" in 1976, and "Streetcar Named Desire" in 1951.
@@RraMakutsi In hindsight, maybe they should’ve campaigned for Ke Huy Quan as Best Actor and rewritten the IRS inspector as a man to fill the Best Supporting Actor slot, leaving Stephanie Hsu to win Best Supporting Actress and giving the film a chance to win all 4 acting awards. 🤷♂️ I think Jamie Lee was awarded a career Oscar actually.
And today, the film just won most of the major awards at this year's Academy Awards like Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Actress, and Best Picture! 👍💯
really enjoyed this movie...the fact that the daniels encompassed so many different influences when making this movie is incredibly creative. the obvious influence of the matrix is evident but there huge nods to the director Wong Kar-wai who did in the mood for love as well as charlie kaufman who wrote eternal sunshine of the spotless mind are there as well. just a beautiful absurdist film, wonderfully edited and acted. to put this movie together and to have resonate with the people so well is a marvel.
THANK YOU so much for making this such a pleasant and fun reaction for this movie. I've seen a bunch of these and yours really stands out as one of the better ones. Great stuff!
At its heart it is a very simple, sweet story. A husband trying to save his marriage and a mother trying to connect to her daughter. Well deserved Oscar. Also, Joy's costume changes are the bomb.
They got robbed at the Oscars for Best Costume Design. The scene alone where Joy is rolling down the stairs and her clothes are shifting constantly… *chef’s kiss*!
So glad you watched this and for sharing your reaction and your own family experiences and how this touched you. I've been following your channel for a while and can say that I think you really embody Waymond's message to "be kind". You are very kind, I hope you experience the same kindness in return. Much love to you!
I find it surreal that in one universe, Evelyn lives the life of Michelle Yeoh. 🤯 If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do. Our "fate" is entirely in our own hands. This film is nominated for 10 Academy Awards, and has won 4 SAG Awards: - Outstanding Performance by Cast/ Ensemble - Outstanding Performance by male actor in Supporting role (Ke Huy Quan) - Outstanding Performance by female actor in Supporting role (Jamie Lee Curtis) - Outstanding Performance my female actor in Leading role (Michelle Yeoh) * Winner of 7 Academy Awards, including Best Supporting actress (Jamie Lee Curtis), Best Supporting actor (Ke Huy Quan), Best actress (Michelle Yeoh), and Best Picture.
In this infinite universe, we could be a worm or a flower, we could be a born in abject poverty, or born with an illness that we'll not live until 12yo. Not to diminish any hardships or conflicts that we're in, but having some alternate perspectives, can help us cope or even let go of resentment that only hurt each other. I learn to let go of being 'right' just so that relationships can reconcile and heal.
One of my Top 5 favorite films ever. ❤ And that's not an exaggeration. Thank you for sharing your life story with us btw. I really hope you've been doing ok since and that you and your mom finally reconnect. You both truly deserve each other.
I really enjoyed your reaction to Everything Everywhere All At Once Kazzy. When I saw this in theaters I didn't understand it at all, but you really put it in perspective for me with your insights on it.😢 I sincerely hope things work out with your mom Kazzy.🙂🙏❤️✌️
@@yayie2235 Well said. Maybe there is hope for this world after all. I'm not really joking to say that this movie's success has actually made me more hopeful for humanity and the heart of us. Maybe it's not too late for kindness to be our creed.
same here, i take my estrogen every day and my brother was saying thats why i feel too emotional, because i have some sort of mental illness, but the joke is on him now.. i actually woke him up the other night screaming at the top of my lungs - continues to get me bad, friend. I love you.
@@daan260 yes its made for people able to feel real emotions!! The others, they cannot understand. Life has been too kind with them. But time comes for everyone of us to experiment loss, failure, pain. I had a perfect Life until 23. Excellent student, great at sports, a beautiful girlfriend. Then, my brother died from cancer, After some years my wife, then my mother. Last year my father . I swear to you, all those thing change your life perspective. You understand that nothing matters, and everything matters, exactly as the movie says. Now i care my family first, then myself, then my friends, and finally career and other stupid things. I will not anymore renounce to stay with my family, to go to a theatre with my son, to finish a job. Fuck the job, i could be dead tomorrow. I don't want to waste a single second.
It was amazing experience watching this movie. Just like the first time watching movie in my life. You can’t predict what happen next and feel so excited for it. Not like most movies being produced nowadays.
How apropos that you posted this on the day of the Academy Awards where this movie swept all the major categories. When I first saw this, it instantly became one of my favorite movies ever. I have talked two different groups of friends into watching it with me to expose them to it as well. It is such a well done movie in all facets. There is also fun trivia you can look up if you wish. The directors make cameos, and the fight coordinators have their own TH-cam channel. I am glad it was such a powerful movie for you.
One of my favorite movies of all time and I am overjoyed that it just won the Academy Award for Best Picture in our's as well as an infinite number of other versions of the multiverse!!!
Thank you for sharing that deeply personal anecdote at the end. This is my favorite movie because I left the theater feeling like a different person. We’re all just scared, and confused, but we have to be kind. Thank you for sharing your story ❤
You earn my subscription! An amazing experience watching this wholesome film and sharing this messages with all of us, humankind together. Love you, mum. Love you, dad.
Even though I saw this movie so long ago, whenever I think about it I am reminded of it’s message and just like Evelyn at the end of the movie and I try to remember to be present in my current moment and to be kind and look through life through kindness :) it’s really a good reminder of being conscious of your life
What a great reaction Kazzy! This video was posted just 5 days ago, but you saw this prior to the award season. EEAAO won 7 Oscar awards.. killed it! I agreed with you that this movie is not just about the silly and humourous scenes, it is about self-discovery, self-acceptance, human relationships, and relationship with the universe. I especially loved the "rock scene" because it reminded us that we are all "small and stupid". Don't take our life too seriously because we are just a tiny small speck of time in this universe. Go out and enjoy life. Forgive and forget the traumas and angers you hold inside.
📌I didn't fully understand the multiverse and the technology, 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.
Kazzy, I just want to give you a big hug after your movie reaction. I hope you and your mom work out your differences and become closer than ever before.
"He's been in a lot of movie". He was the old guy in the ancient Big Trouble in Little China and I thought he'd be dead. Over 90 and still kicking. He has the record for the most credited roles in Movies and TV at over 600. He was the "eye" manufacturer in Blade Runner. The Hari Kari guy in Airplane!
Awwww.... sending you hugs! I want that for you and your mother too. I pray that it happens. And thanks for sharing your reaction to this extraordinary movie. So good!
Great reaction, I’ve seen this movie a few times, and still, I get teary eyed when watching a reaction. Hope you can reconnect with your mom, and know than in another universe, you and your mom have reconnected. ❤
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 And to top everything off, last night, 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. 🥰
It's nihilism vs absurdism and how the meaninglessness of life frees you to stop worrying about what you think you ought to do or who you ought to be and instead do what whatever you want to do and be whatever you want to be. At the same time, it seems to touch on the adhd and unfocused mind, in that, when you don't know what to do with yourself, it can destroy you, but if you learn its real nature, you can harness it to become amazing to yourself and to the world around you when driven by love and compassion.
Yes, totally right. It actually captures several themes at the same time, and does it amazingly well. I would add: the internet/social media, trauma/disappointment, transcendence, forgiveness, love and hope as true courage
Another reaction that shows why I love you and why your such a good person - tell you the truth I like the reactions but mostly come to see you. Your story of your mother was touching and sad - why she would not want to be with you is beyond me.Stay safe.🥰😍
Sliding Doors with Gweyneth Paltrow is just like The Family Man. I hope youll watch that one too. Great reaction, dont think ive seen you laugh that hard before!
Wow what a tough upbringing and I'm glad you all were able to get through everything. I hope you and your mother can rebuild your relationship. Since that foundation is there, I'm really hopeful for you both. 🥺🤞🏿 Also I love Family Man so thanks for the reminder. I haven't watched it recently since I just have different streaming services instead of regular TV. You were me throughout this movie in that I laughed, cried, and absolutely thought I accidentally took drugs or drank too much in the middle of the movie. I've never been particularly close to my mom but I could relate to the struggle of everything seemingly being the wrong thing to say on both sides of the mother/daughter relationship as I'm now a mom myself. PS you are very pretty and something about your features really reminds me of Shania Twain.
Bless you for getting this wonderful movie. I hope you and your mother find your way back to each other as I hope this message brings the love of my life back to me. The dvd will be waiting for her in her post box when she returns from working in Thailand. It's made for her on so many levels and me as well. I am Waymond and Ke Huy Quan. The scene when he says "In another universe....." pierced my heart with tears of love, pain, joy, thankfulness and weeping and repeatedly ever since. Bless you for confirming everything I felt and agree with everything you said. It's profoundly magnificent in so many ..... every way! Yes, words are not available, as the many emotions that exist but we have no vocabulary no words to describe or identify them. Only serious high art music does that and EEAAO comes very close. The Daniels did something very important for all humankind, butt plugs and dildoes included! Bless you for your words and tears and bless your beautiful loving sacrificing mother. In fact, if I'm still single or you have a very big heart, we have core beauty and truth potential with each other. Yes, I do fancy you very much for your beautiful soul, mind and spirit.
The "I'm sorry, it's a girl" scene... At the time she was born there was a 1 child policy in China. So, "naturally" boys were preferred. It was a policy that lead to infanticide of girls in some cases. Because girls couldn't carry on the family name. His name ended with her birth, he probably resents her existence. And the doctor would be fully aware of the "tragedy" that he just suffered. Prompting the apology
Doctor strange and a couple universes of minor confusion.. Nah. I'd rather an old Asian doing laundry and taxes, hit you so hard in the feels that you feel it in every universe.
(Commenting while watching - you haven’t finished the movie as I write this.) That wasn’t just a kung fu universe. In that universe Evelyn learned kung fu and became an actress/action heroine. And the clips of her on red carpets and stuff: those were of the real Michelle Yeoh - not filmed for this movie.
Yep! I noticed that, too! They even used a couple seconds of her red carpet for Crazy Rich Asians. I thought that was such a cool touch! She’d better win this Oscar!
I have a very short list of movies that I think have to be in the conversation when we start talking about "The Best Movie Ever Made." For the last 22 years, there were five movies on that list. This year, Everything Everywhere All at Once became the sixth.
Fantastic movie reaction Kazzy! The fake out ending! Some ppl actually left the theater when this happened at my viewing,, thinking that was the end. 😅 Anyway, I 100% agree with u about this movie's beautiful message...really hope you and your mom get a chance to reconnect. Call her, if you have to? 🙏
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing that experience. The day I saw this in theater I said it should be movie of the year….maybe Top Gun second…. But this was way to creative, great acting, and beautiful….bonding message. I do think, though, for those who didn’t have a strong relationship that it could be triggering
I'm happy this film did NOT get it's original casting (Jackie Chan and Awkawafina). I'm so glad Ke from "Goonies" and "Indiana Jones" IP and Michelle Yeoh/S.Hsu took their place.
11 Nominations and 7 Wins, including Best Picture, Best Director for the Daniels, Best Actress for Michelle Yeoh, Best Supporting Actor for Ke Huy Quan, Best Supporting Actress for Jamie Lee Curtis, and Best Original Screenplay.
Let's hear it for movies about inter-generational trauma! Yay...? Seriously, though. I am not you. You are not me. Yet we can both be moved by the same story. You feel your relationship with your mother. For me it was my dad. He died a couple of years ago, and we never really reconnected So I do recommend trying to find common ground, common love with your mom. I also relate so much with Waymond. His belief in kindness, and his willingness to love, to be open. It's truly courageous. That is not an easy road to walk.
Great Reaction! Regarding the whole 'I'm sorry it's a girl' comment: While I've never heard any reactor actually understand this reference, it's a pretty powerful reference that only some of us 40 year old+ people might understand. Back in 1980, due to overcrowding, China instituted a 1 Child Per Family Policy. Because of this, and due to families desiring to carry on their family names through their male child (because of tradition), if a family birthed a female child as their first-born, they would kill them and try again (very often they would drown them in a nearby river). It is an extremely dark time in Chinas' history. Very sad but unfortunately true. Don't Google this for your own mental health sake.
It took me even longer to get around to this movie. I am almost always disappointed in movies that are this hyped. But I was blown away by this. Still am. When I watch reaction videos I still catch new things...even subtle details like the fact that at the end Dierdre is calling her "Evelyn" and not "Mrs. Wang." I cry over the rocks every time I see it! I mean ROCKS!
You are great! I have watched your review of this movie over and over. I have watched this movie over 50 times. I am glad I was able to watch it in a theater. The best movie ever made. Did you ever get to watch this movie with you mom?
If Michelle Yeow, Jamie Lee Curtis (or Stephanie Hsu) and Ke Huy Quan don't win academy awards tonight for their respective categories, I would be upset!! Jamie Lee Curtis and Stephanie Hsu are both nominated for best supporting actress so to me it is a toss up but I think Jamie Lee is the emotional favorite. Gong Gong, played by James Hong is 93 years old and is an acting legend and has been in over 700 movies and TV show. I have seen him in interviews and at 93 his mind is much sharper than mine!
I'm going with Stephanie Jamie only had to play an IRS agent, and a slightly worse version of that (not hard to do, even including the fight scenes ...). Stephanie had to be an emo teenager rebelling against her mother's traditional chinese family, and then an impossible-to-defeat super-villain. I went into this movie completely blind - it turns out to be a multiple-universe, mind-bending, kung-fu master, expression of how to keep a family together! It's getting Best Picture tonight. No question. And Michelle's getting Best Actress - she should have got it for Crouching Tiger decades ago.
It’s entirely apropos to think there’s a universe out there in the multiverse identical to ours, but where Stephanie Hsu won the Oscar instead of Jamie Lee Curtis.
Hey thank you for this. I wish all the best to you and your mom. I agree everybuddy should see this film. I fear my mom will not get over the Kung Fu part, but who knows. She surprised me many times in my life. Guess I'll ask her too if she want to see this film.
What I love about Ke Huy Quan’s performance is how each version of Waymond feels unique and distinct. Michelle spoke in an interview about how hard he worked building each character with his acting coach, and I think it shows. He’s the heart of this movie for sure.
he also had a movement coach so the way he moves as each different Waymond is unique to its character.
It's excellent because you can see the same CORE of the person as well as what you're saying.
I agree, he is the MVP. But I think Becky deserves credit for being the character who REALLY has no clue what is going on, doesn't even understand two of the three languages being spoken, but is still ALWAYS supporting Joy.
Laughing while simultaneously wiping away tears- is it any wonder that this film is winning so many awards?
The story about your mother was very touching and i kind of understand the feeling.... For years me and my father had a horrible relationship, it was hard to even say we were related. But now he seems to understand the pain he had caused me, he apologised many times now and tries to get close to me, we even talk about video games and movies together, like my childhood was being brought back to life. I think that some parents need time to learn and understand their place in the universe, just how Evelyn did. I wish you a lot of happiness and stay well
“I mean, it just doesn’t matter how many times I see it. I’m so moved,” has got to be the most meta line in the movie lol
Yeah also crying and laughing at the same time lol
Everyone I know, including myself, were left speechless and stammering for a little while after the movie ended. Thank you for your beautiful and heartfelt reaction. ❤
Me and my friend were stunned after leaving the theater. We ended up sitting in the car like an hour in the parking lot just completely at a loss for words as the raw emotions that felt contradictory washed over us. Took us awhile to really collect our thoughts? 😅
This is my new favorite movie because it actually have an impact in my life and change my life perspective for real unlike others where I just purely enjoy it a lot.
The biggest highlight of the film for me was seeing Ke Huy Quan absolutely kill it as Waymond. After having loved him as Short Round, it was so great seeing him in this movie, and get to see him show off his range.
OH SHIT!
It IS him!
That's Short Round! --- his voice was so familiar (I only saw this movie a week ago)
I'm thrilled for him. He was superb.
I'm always worried for child actors who are elevated to stardom, but then reach adulthood, and suddenly realise they're not so cute anymore.
What a terrific performance - every bit as good as Michelle's - surely - Oscar-winning performance.
Playing two different characters at once.
And .. he just won the Oscar!
Well deserved.
And Indiana Jones hugged him when EEAAO won Best Picture 😭 And his longtime loyal entertainment lawyer is Chunk 😭
I thought the highlight was they were fighting to sit on the butt plug trophy
It's the best performance I've ever seen in any movie by a supporting actor.
I saw this film 2 weeks ago and I'm still thinking about it. Things are not going great for me right now, but if everything is meaningless, you have to make it mean something.
Yes sir! Hope things eventually work out for you. 🙏
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 destroy everything" vs "Nothing matters so might as well enjoy life". Waymond taught Evelyn and us the latter.
“Nothing matters so might as well enjoy life”
You think that was the message? I thought it was “love gives meaning to life, it proves that things do matter”.
If You’re right, this movie is wrong in more ways than I thought. I mean, just might as well enjoy it, is not gonna cut it if you’re having serious issues in your life. You need meaning in times that you’re not able to enjoy your life.
@@daan260 it's related. I just worded it like that because i still want to use the phrase "Nothing Matters" which is the core of the movie. Because even how you view things (may it be positive/negative), It doesn't change the fact that nothing matters, it's just how you deal with it. In other words:
*"We all find meaning in this purposeless existence"*
@@soulscyther666 I don't agree at all that "nothing matters" is a fact, so I dislike a movie who claims that as being a fact.
Also I don't think you can just tell yourself to view things in a positive way when you're simply suffering.
"We all find meaning in this purposeless existence"
that's a contradiction by definition, unless you believe that our thoughts don't exist.
I think modern people spiritually deprived and see reality in a materialistic way. I think this is fundamentally flawed and this movie is a perfect representation of the issue's that those people are struggling with. I would even say that this movie is specifically made for those people.
@@daan260 that's why the movie shows the two opposing views, and hence my og comment. You can have the other as belief, and that doesn't void the other.
Anyway, what i meant on my quote was we CAN cling to any self-consolation we can think of to justify that we exist for a "greater" reason, and not just a tiny speck to an uncaring universe that wouldn't count it as its loss if you exist or not. God didn't create us. It's the other around, we created them to delude ourselves that imaginary deities have "plans" for us. We find our own meaning.
To quote another show, a simple dialogue that's related to this two opposing views, and speaks volume philosophically.
Person1: Life's a bitch, then you die. Right?
Person2: Sometimes. Sometimes life's a bitch and then you keep living.
*"It is what you make of life."*
@@soulscyther666 In your first comment you made a nice comparison to the philosophy of yin yang, but I don't see how it relates to absurdism apart from the fact that it's in between nihilism and existentialism. Not everything in the middle of 2 opposites is automatically yin yang however. I still think absurdism is wrong, because it's not a permanent solution.
I agree with you that we find our own meaning. But we find it because it's in our DNA. We do not create our own meaning, we discover it. I think we receive our meaning from god, because I believe the universe is a living entity with inherent meaning. Every living organism is striving for progress through the proces of evolution. from the big bang till today, everything is a fluctuating progression. To participate in this progress is just to accept reality for what it is. To look at reality as a meaningless mass of atoms is wrong on so many levels.
anyways, feel free to disagree
This movie is the real Multiverse Of Madness and has been nominated for 11 Oscars including Best Picture.
It also just passed Return Of The King as the most awarded movie of all time
And just won 7 of those nominations!
@@brewdaly1873 Wrong. The Return of the King,” “Titanic” and “Ben-Hur.” all won 11 Oscars including Best Picture. This crappy movie won 7
@@dsscam “Most awarded” and “Most Oscars” are different accolades. There are other awards and award shows
@@dsscam first of all, no need to insult the movie just cause it wasn't to your taste. That's just poor form, and kind of lessens the weight of your argument. I think you also need to realize that your opinion, as valid as it may be for you personally, is in the minority. This is an incredibly well received movie from both a critical and audience perspective, and nothing you say will change that.
Second of all, I was talking across 45 different award organizations that recognized both Return Of The King and EEAAO, in which EEAAO won 138 awards vs RoK's 127. And that was before the Oscars. IGN did a whole write up on it, it's very easy to find.
Thanks for sharing your story and this reaction with us. This movie hit for many of us this way too. I even cried with your reaction. So, thank you.
Thanks for sharing your story. I was an abandoned child but I was fortunate to have relatives who would adopt me for a few years before I got passed on to another relative and another which probably how I turned out to be a level-headed person who gets along with everyone. Yes, it should be required viewing for old folks to "see" their families.
In one of the scenes where Joy/Jobu is talking to Evelyn in a forest, she breaks off a branch and holds it up, which then turns into a rapid series of frames of different items, most only single frame edits, and many people missed that in the very last frame she is actually holding an Academy Award, which turned out to be very prescient since, tonight, they're up for 11 Oscars - the most of any film this year - and I read somewhere that the movie has already won more total combined awards than any other film ever.
I’ll always be grateful that I got to see this in an IMAX pre-release screening in a packed theater. The huge screen and sound system, combined with the collective audience experience during all the incredible surprising moments in the this film was one of my all-time favorite movie-going experiences. While I don't really like art being put into categories as "best", I'm really pulling for this film because it was such a small film and so incredibly original. And, come on, everything in Michelle Yeoh's career all funneled perfectly into this role and she deserves to be the first Asian actress to win the Academy Award for Best Actress. And James Hong has 451 credits in his IMDB profile, going back to 1954. Legend.
Thank you for sharing the story about your mother and your sister. I'm sure things will be better with your mom when she watches this movie. Tonight is the Academy Awards and this movie has been nominated 11 times. Michelle Yeoh was nominated for Best Actress, Jamie Lee Curtis was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, and Ke Huy Quan (Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom) was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. I hope it wins Best Picture as well.
My only complaint is that Ke Huy Quan is not nominated for Best Actor... Waymond is integral to this story, and almost more important of a character than Evelyn. It's a shame that he is considered as a "supporting" role in this film... he deserves to win the highest level of award for his acting. With that said, I am not familiar with how Hollywood makes these decision, as I am not in the business. Regardless, EEAAO is one of the finest pieces of art that I have ever witnessed, and I'm so happy to live in a timeline where it exists. Much love and light to anyone who is reading this! :-)
@@RraMakutsi True, but he likely would’ve lost against Brendan Fraser. Having said that, it would’ve given them a chance to become the 4th film ever to win the Big 5 Oscars.
@@rickardroach9075 fair point about Brendan Fraser... my heart was so overwhelmed with the true surprise and joy that all of the winners expressed, but Brendan's win was well earned. As far as your other point, I understand that the "Big 5" is best pic/actor/actress/director/screenplay, whichbhas happened 3x. However, I found it interesting that no film has ever received best pic as well all 4 acting awards (best actor/actress and supporting actor/actress). EEAAO did become only the 3rd film to win 4/5 though... the last time that happened was "Network" in 1976, and "Streetcar Named Desire" in 1951.
@@RraMakutsi In hindsight, maybe they should’ve campaigned for Ke Huy Quan as Best Actor and rewritten the IRS inspector as a man to fill the Best Supporting Actor slot, leaving Stephanie Hsu to win Best Supporting Actress and giving the film a chance to win all 4 acting awards. 🤷♂️ I think Jamie Lee was awarded a career Oscar actually.
It WAS one of the best movies. And now that it's awards season it's winning. Everything. Everywhere. All at once 😆🤣
And today, the film just won most of the major awards at this year's Academy Awards like Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Actress, and Best Picture! 👍💯
Such creativity and imagination for $14 million. They sure acted their asses off. Lots of emotional moments...very out of the ordinary.
It truly is a great film - and I enjoyed your infectious laughs 😂 at all the funny/outrageous scenes
I’ll never look at bagels the same way again. But having someone to do laundry and taxes with, now that’s a life goal.
really enjoyed this movie...the fact that the daniels encompassed so many different influences when making this movie is incredibly creative. the obvious influence of the matrix is evident but there huge nods to the director Wong Kar-wai who did in the mood for love as well as charlie kaufman who wrote eternal sunshine of the spotless mind are there as well. just a beautiful absurdist film, wonderfully edited and acted. to put this movie together and to have resonate with the people so well is a marvel.
THANK YOU so much for making this such a pleasant and fun reaction for this movie. I've seen a bunch of these and yours really stands out as one of the better ones. Great stuff!
Possibly the greatest movie ever made.
At its heart it is a very simple, sweet story. A husband trying to save his marriage and a mother trying to connect to her daughter. Well deserved Oscar. Also, Joy's costume changes are the bomb.
They got robbed at the Oscars for Best Costume Design. The scene alone where Joy is rolling down the stairs and her clothes are shifting constantly… *chef’s kiss*!
@@davidmcleod5133 i hear ya! mind blown with the changes.
Actually, the mother is trying to save her daughter from despair and suicide
and many many more
Everything Everywhere All At Once is, simply put, one of the best pieces of cinema ever made.
It's just the best. Nothing else compares. A masterpiece.
So glad you watched this and for sharing your reaction and your own family experiences and how this touched you. I've been following your channel for a while and can say that I think you really embody Waymond's message to "be kind". You are very kind, I hope you experience the same kindness in return. Much love to you!
I love that this took place in an. IRS building because it was like the agent taking an accounting of their lives.
I find it surreal that in one universe, Evelyn lives the life of Michelle Yeoh. 🤯
If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do.
Our "fate" is entirely in our own hands.
This film is nominated for 10 Academy Awards, and has won 4 SAG Awards:
- Outstanding Performance by Cast/ Ensemble
- Outstanding Performance by male actor in Supporting role (Ke Huy Quan)
- Outstanding Performance by female actor in Supporting role (Jamie Lee Curtis)
- Outstanding Performance my female actor in Leading role (Michelle Yeoh)
* Winner of 7 Academy Awards, including Best Supporting actress (Jamie Lee Curtis), Best Supporting actor (Ke Huy Quan), Best actress (Michelle Yeoh), and Best Picture.
And it win PGA, DGA, and WGA. It’s swept all the guilds!
I see you there, Angel quote 👀
This movie is so well crafted and bonkers, absolutely love it! Cheers Kazzy!
In this infinite universe, we could be a worm or a flower, we could be a born in abject poverty, or born with an illness that we'll not live until 12yo. Not to diminish any hardships or conflicts that we're in, but having some alternate perspectives, can help us cope or even let go of resentment that only hurt each other. I learn to let go of being 'right' just so that relationships can reconcile and heal.
One of my Top 5 favorite films ever. ❤ And that's not an exaggeration. Thank you for sharing your life story with us btw. I really hope you've been doing ok since and that you and your mom finally reconnect. You both truly deserve each other.
Best movie I've seen since The Matrix, and in my opinion it's Michelle Yeoh's best work since 'Crouching Tiger'.
I really enjoyed your reaction to Everything Everywhere All At Once Kazzy. When I saw this in theaters I didn't understand it at all, but you really put it in perspective for me with your insights on it.😢 I sincerely hope things work out with your mom Kazzy.🙂🙏❤️✌️
I know it's not fair... but I seriously judge people who don't tear up in this movie. It got me bad and still does.
It's alright, in another life, they would've like EEAAO.
@@yayie2235 Well said. Maybe there is hope for this world after all. I'm not really joking to say that this movie's success has actually made me more hopeful for humanity and the heart of us. Maybe it's not too late for kindness to be our creed.
same here, i take my estrogen every day and my brother was saying thats why i feel too emotional, because i have some sort of mental illness, but the joke is on him now.. i actually woke him up the other night screaming at the top of my lungs - continues to get me bad, friend. I love you.
It’s not, because this movie is made for a very specific audience. I hated it, but the end hit me in the feels nonetheless
@@daan260 yes its made for people able to feel real emotions!! The others, they cannot understand. Life has been too kind with them. But time comes for everyone of us to experiment loss, failure, pain. I had a perfect Life until 23. Excellent student, great at sports, a beautiful girlfriend. Then, my brother died from cancer, After some years my wife, then my mother. Last year my father . I swear to you, all those thing change your life perspective. You understand that nothing matters, and everything matters, exactly as the movie says. Now i care my family first, then myself, then my friends, and finally career and other stupid things. I will not anymore renounce to stay with my family, to go to a theatre with my son, to finish a job. Fuck the job, i could be dead tomorrow. I don't want to waste a single second.
It was amazing experience watching this movie. Just like the first time watching movie in my life. You can’t predict what happen next and feel so excited for it. Not like most movies being produced nowadays.
Thanks for sharing your story in your outro. Truly an amazing film and a great reaction.
How apropos that you posted this on the day of the Academy Awards where this movie swept all the major categories. When I first saw this, it instantly became one of my favorite movies ever. I have talked two different groups of friends into watching it with me to expose them to it as well. It is such a well done movie in all facets. There is also fun trivia you can look up if you wish. The directors make cameos, and the fight coordinators have their own TH-cam channel. I am glad it was such a powerful movie for you.
One of my favorite movies of all time and I am overjoyed that it just won the Academy Award for Best Picture in our's as well as an infinite number of other versions of the multiverse!!!
Everything, Everywhere all at once is fantastic!! I love this movie!!!!!
Thank you for sharing that deeply personal anecdote at the end. This is my favorite movie because I left the theater feeling like a different person. We’re all just scared, and confused, but we have to be kind. Thank you for sharing your story ❤
Your laughter is magical. Thanks for sharing your reaction. This movie is absolutely my favorite film of all time now.
You earn my subscription!
An amazing experience watching this wholesome film and sharing this messages with all of us, humankind together. Love you, mum. Love you, dad.
Even though I saw this movie so long ago, whenever I think about it I am reminded of it’s message and just like Evelyn at the end of the movie and I try to remember to be present in my current moment and to be kind and look through life through kindness :) it’s really a good reminder of being conscious of your life
What a great reaction Kazzy!
This video was posted just 5 days ago, but you saw this prior to the award season. EEAAO won 7 Oscar awards.. killed it!
I agreed with you that this movie is not just about the silly and humourous scenes, it is about self-discovery, self-acceptance, human relationships, and relationship with the universe. I especially loved the "rock scene" because it reminded us that we are all "small and stupid". Don't take our life too seriously because we are just a tiny small speck of time in this universe. Go out and enjoy life. Forgive and forget the traumas and angers you hold inside.
Took me two days to recover after watching "Everything Everywhere all at Once".
I love your laugh 😂❤
📌I didn't fully understand the multiverse and the technology, 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.
Your laugh is contagious. 😊 thanks for the reaction and yes agreed with you that everyone should watch this movie . My all time favorite movie
I really loved your post take on this movie and life I appreciate you sharing your life story very much, vert heartfelt.
Kazzy, I just want to give you a big hug after your movie reaction. I hope you and your mom work out your differences and become closer than ever before.
At the 46 minute marker.... That moment of strength to collect yourself actually kinda broke me lol. I understand that feeling a little too much.
"He's been in a lot of movie". He was the old guy in the ancient Big Trouble in Little China and I thought he'd be dead. Over 90 and still kicking. He has the record for the most credited roles in Movies and TV at over 600. He was the "eye" manufacturer in Blade Runner. The Hari Kari guy in Airplane!
Thank you for sharing a bit of your story.
Awwww.... sending you hugs! I want that for you and your mother too. I pray that it happens. And thanks for sharing your reaction to this extraordinary movie. So good!
You get an Oscar! You get an Oscar! You get an Oscar!
Great reaction, I’ve seen this movie a few times, and still, I get teary eyed when watching a reaction. Hope you can reconnect with your mom, and know than in another universe, you and your mom have reconnected. ❤
FUN FACT: The raccoon is voiced by frequent Disney/Pixar composer, Randy Newman. :)
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
And to top everything off, last night, 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. 🥰
thank you for sharing with us your story, I also made my mom watch this movie. Loved watching your reaction. +1sub
It's nihilism vs absurdism and how the meaninglessness of life frees you to stop worrying about what you think you ought to do or who you ought to be and instead do what whatever you want to do and be whatever you want to be. At the same time, it seems to touch on the adhd and unfocused mind, in that, when you don't know what to do with yourself, it can destroy you, but if you learn its real nature, you can harness it to become amazing to yourself and to the world around you when driven by love and compassion.
Yes, totally right. It actually captures several themes at the same time, and does it amazingly well. I would add: the internet/social media, trauma/disappointment, transcendence, forgiveness, love and hope as true courage
They just won all the Oscars and I'm so happy
Another reaction that shows why I love you and why your such a good person - tell you the truth I like the reactions but mostly come to see you. Your story of your mother was touching and sad - why she would not want to be with you is beyond me.Stay safe.🥰😍
Your laughter is the best thing ever.
It’s official… the movie with a man Kung-fu fighting with a butt-plug hanging out has an Oscar for Best Picture of 2023! 😂
Sliding Doors with Gweyneth Paltrow is just like The Family Man. I hope youll watch that one too. Great reaction, dont think ive seen you laugh that hard before!
This is already the most awarded movie of all time, before the Oscars even happen.
Wow what a tough upbringing and I'm glad you all were able to get through everything. I hope you and your mother can rebuild your relationship. Since that foundation is there, I'm really hopeful for you both. 🥺🤞🏿
Also I love Family Man so thanks for the reminder. I haven't watched it recently since I just have different streaming services instead of regular TV.
You were me throughout this movie in that I laughed, cried, and absolutely thought I accidentally took drugs or drank too much in the middle of the movie. I've never been particularly close to my mom but I could relate to the struggle of everything seemingly being the wrong thing to say on both sides of the mother/daughter relationship as I'm now a mom myself.
PS you are very pretty and something about your features really reminds me of Shania Twain.
Bless you for getting this wonderful movie. I hope you and your mother find your way back to each other as I hope this message brings the love of my life back to me. The dvd will be waiting for her in her post box when she returns from working in Thailand. It's made for her on so many levels and me as well. I am Waymond and Ke Huy Quan. The scene when he says "In another universe....." pierced my heart with tears of love, pain, joy, thankfulness and weeping and repeatedly ever since. Bless you for confirming everything I felt and agree with everything you said. It's profoundly magnificent in so many ..... every way! Yes, words are not available, as the many emotions that exist but we have no vocabulary no words to describe or identify them. Only serious high art music does that and EEAAO comes very close. The Daniels did something very important for all humankind, butt plugs and dildoes included! Bless you for your words and tears and bless your beautiful loving sacrificing mother. In fact, if I'm still single or you have a very big heart, we have core beauty and truth potential with each other. Yes, I do fancy you very much for your beautiful soul, mind and spirit.
The "I'm sorry, it's a girl" scene... At the time she was born there was a 1 child policy in China. So, "naturally" boys were preferred. It was a policy that lead to infanticide of girls in some cases. Because girls couldn't carry on the family name. His name ended with her birth, he probably resents her existence. And the doctor would be fully aware of the "tragedy" that he just suffered. Prompting the apology
You did a great job! This movie is one of the best movies I have ever seen.
I cried and cried with you. I also did not have a good relationship with my mom. Sending love and caring your way....Hugs. from Thavone
Thank you for sharing your story 🫂
this one of my Top movies, i think the message is that everything and everyone is connected and that you are everything.
It says exactly what the movie's about in the title.
Wonderfully thoughtful and compassionate reaction. I hope you and your mother reconcile with or without the help of this beautiful film
Doctor strange and a couple universes of minor confusion.. Nah. I'd rather an old Asian doing laundry and taxes, hit you so hard in the feels that you feel it in every universe.
I love you too 💖 I just wish you the best, and lots of love in your life 🍀
(Commenting while watching - you haven’t finished the movie as I write this.) That wasn’t just a kung fu universe. In that universe Evelyn learned kung fu and became an actress/action heroine. And the clips of her on red carpets and stuff: those were of the real Michelle Yeoh - not filmed for this movie.
Yep! I noticed that, too! They even used a couple seconds of her red carpet for Crazy Rich Asians. I thought that was such a cool touch! She’d better win this Oscar!
@@claudettewright365 this aged so well
I love the fact that we, as the movie viewers, live in a universe where Evelyn became a movie star . 🤩
I have a very short list of movies that I think have to be in the conversation when we start talking about "The Best Movie Ever Made." For the last 22 years, there were five movies on that list. This year, Everything Everywhere All at Once became the sixth.
Fantastic movie reaction Kazzy! The fake out ending! Some ppl actually left the theater when this happened at my viewing,, thinking that was the end. 😅 Anyway, I 100% agree with u about this movie's beautiful message...really hope you and your mom get a chance to reconnect. Call her, if you have to? 🙏
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing that experience.
The day I saw this in theater I said it should be movie of the year….maybe Top Gun second…. But this was way to creative, great acting, and beautiful….bonding message.
I do think, though, for those who didn’t have a strong relationship that it could be triggering
best movie of the past 10 years at least
James Hong in his only appearance with four "eyes" on film.
Any movie that's unpopular with fascists, religious fundamentalists, and psychopaths is a good movie in my book. And this one is the best of the lot.
You forgot anti-Asian racists hate it too
I'm happy this film did NOT get it's original casting (Jackie Chan and Awkawafina). I'm so glad Ke from "Goonies" and "Indiana Jones" IP and Michelle Yeoh/S.Hsu took their place.
No truer words have ever been spoken
Tonight is the Oscar's.. cross our fingers!!
Very pleased with how this movie went with the oscars, especially ke’s oscar:)
11 Nominations and 7 Wins, including Best Picture, Best Director for the Daniels, Best Actress for Michelle Yeoh, Best Supporting Actor for Ke Huy Quan, Best Supporting Actress for Jamie Lee Curtis, and Best Original Screenplay.
What is there to say about this movie that hasn't already been daid... we got a freaking jamie lee curtis drop kick! Lol
I hope you will reconcile with your mom too. Hugs
Let's hear it for movies about inter-generational trauma! Yay...? Seriously, though. I am not you. You are not me. Yet we can both be moved by the same story. You feel your relationship with your mother. For me it was my dad. He died a couple of years ago, and we never really reconnected So I do recommend trying to find common ground, common love with your mom. I also relate so much with Waymond. His belief in kindness, and his willingness to love, to be open. It's truly courageous. That is not an easy road to walk.
The husband is played by Ke Huy Quan. He was Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Data in The Goonies Kazzy.
I love your laugh!
Great Reaction!
Regarding the whole 'I'm sorry it's a girl' comment: While I've never heard any reactor actually understand this reference, it's a pretty powerful reference that only some of us 40 year old+ people might understand.
Back in 1980, due to overcrowding, China instituted a 1 Child Per Family Policy. Because of this, and due to families desiring to carry on their family names through their male child (because of tradition), if a family birthed a female child as their first-born, they would kill them and try again (very often they would drown them in a nearby river).
It is an extremely dark time in Chinas' history. Very sad but unfortunately true. Don't Google this for your own mental health sake.
Hi Kazzy hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤️
It took me even longer to get around to this movie. I am almost always disappointed in movies that are this hyped. But I was blown away by this. Still am. When I watch reaction videos I still catch new things...even subtle details like the fact that at the end Dierdre is calling her "Evelyn" and not "Mrs. Wang." I cry over the rocks every time I see it! I mean ROCKS!
You are great! I have watched your review of this movie over and over. I have watched this movie over 50 times. I am glad I was able to watch it in a theater. The best movie ever made. Did you ever get to watch this movie with you mom?
If Michelle Yeow, Jamie Lee Curtis (or Stephanie Hsu) and Ke Huy Quan don't win academy awards tonight for their respective categories, I would be upset!! Jamie Lee Curtis and Stephanie Hsu are both nominated for best supporting actress so to me it is a toss up but I think Jamie Lee is the emotional favorite. Gong Gong, played by James Hong is 93 years old and is an acting legend and has been in over 700 movies and TV show. I have seen him in interviews and at 93 his mind is much sharper than mine!
I'm going with Stephanie
Jamie only had to play an IRS agent, and a slightly worse version of that (not hard to do, even including the fight scenes ...).
Stephanie had to be an emo teenager rebelling against her mother's traditional chinese family, and then an impossible-to-defeat super-villain.
I went into this movie completely blind - it turns out to be a multiple-universe, mind-bending, kung-fu master, expression of how to keep a family together!
It's getting Best Picture tonight.
No question.
And Michelle's getting Best Actress - she should have got it for Crouching Tiger decades ago.
@@jazzx251 Yea, you're right too but me saying Jamie is more wishful thinking 😁
@@jazzx251 Cate Blanchett is amazing in Tar, she can win but the favorite is still Michelle, who know? Maybe an upset? It has happened before.
It’s entirely apropos to think there’s a universe out there in the multiverse identical to ours, but where Stephanie Hsu won the Oscar instead of Jamie Lee Curtis.
@@davidmcleod5133 Stephanie really deserved the win but I still feel Jamie Lee Curtis won by the sympathy vote
Hey thank you for this. I wish all the best to you and your mom. I agree everybuddy should see this film. I fear my mom will not get over the Kung Fu part, but who knows. She surprised me many times in my life. Guess I'll ask her too if she want to see this film.
So glad this movie is getting a new wave of reactions thanks to the Oscars I assume
24:52 This shot makes that character look totally bad ass. It doesn’t show that the character at that moment _has_ a totally bad ass.
