A budget less than a tenth of a Marvel move, five people total for special effects, the lead actress is 59 and the charming grandfather is 93; definitely this generation's cinematic crown jewel, on par with the introduction of Pulp Fiction or Silence of the Lambs. Still only some of the TH-cam reactors got around to it, good on you for knowing a classic when you see it 👍🍿❤
I'm here because it swept Oscars, and the movie rightfully deserved every reward it got. One of the modern masterpiece i've seen in recent years. 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.
This movie displaced the film that I've held in my personal "best movie" spot for over 30 years (Amadeus). Such humor, heart, technical expertise and amazing storytelling. Great acting from everyone, great editing, soundtrack, sound design, choreography (which I understand comes from a group of guys who have a TH-cam channel). The most creative movie I've ever seen and one in which the complexities of a multiverse are explained quite easily. 10/10
Amadeus has always been in my top 10, and is my brother’s lifelong #1. Everything Everywhere did to me what it did to you: displaced my personal favorite of, in my case, about 45 years: The Wizard of Oz. It’s still kind of weird to think of The Wizard of Oz as my second favorite, but absolutely nothing can top the crazy perfection of EEAAO.
@@holddowna It’s SO GOOOOOOD, and swept the Academy Awards in its year. In my opinion, the theatrical cut is actually far superior to the director’s cut that was released much later.
I still need to give it a few years before I'll give it the top slot, but it instantly displaced something in my top 5 and it's a contender for number one.
I feel Waymond when he blamed himself for all the craziness. If you live a life of pacifism you start to see how arguments are mostly due to misunderstandings and it's frustrating when nobody listens to reason.
Waymond was my favorite character. He's the guy who just chooses to be happy even when the world around him is a chaotic mess. Throw some googly eyes on it and make the world a slightly brighter, funnier, better place. He always strives to make every situation better rather than worse. The low key hero of the movie, Evelyn ultimately has to learn from Waymond's example before she can be successful.
This movie was SOOOO good, Waymond's "speech" was so inspirational while also being heartbreaking. This is definitely one of my favorite movies. Michelle Yeoh is one of my favorite actresses', I used to watch lots of kung fun and martial arts movies when I was a kid and loved seeing her in those movies as well.
She’s amazing! I need to watch more of hers! I am more familiar with Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and Memoirs of a Geisha! This movie is now top 5-10 of my all time list!!
This definitely needs to be viewed twice, at the very least. There’s so much going on that you can’t fully comprehend everything before something else is happening that’s equally crazy. I think you’ll like even more after 2 of 3 views!
Thank you for sharing this experience with us! A tremendous work of art indeed. The movies we truly need that counteract the endless piles of Jurassic World Dominions that keep getting made. This is also A24's highest grossing movie, deservedly so!
I really love this movie. Not only is it a touching story about the relation between a mother and her daughter - not only is it an exploration of what it feels like to have severe ADHD - not only is it a study in meta-modern cinema... it's also a pretty "Niezschean" movie: First, there is disillusionment, being overwhelmed - Nihilism is a reaction to that, and Joy embodies this nihilism. But just like in Nietzsche's philosophy, nihilism is like a ladder that you discard you ascend it. Evelyn goes through the disillusionment and loss of values, too - but indeed does rise above that to realize the existentialist core of later Nietzschean philosophy: Since no source of objective morality (or knowledge) is at hand - we create our values, our meaning ourselves. It's possible to see life in all its beauty, horrifying tragedy, mindless boredom and every other facet - and still say "yes" to all of that.
Love the Being John Malkovich comparison. This movie really really reminded me of Charlie Kaufman's stuff too. Did some google searching, and the Daniels did cite him as one of their inspirations in one interview I ran across.
Loved this movie and your reaction! Absolutely a gem! I also highly, highly recommend a thematically similar movie called "Synecdoche, New York". There are thematic similarities (sadly no kung-fu) but I promise you, it's one of the most unique movies you'll ever see. If I had to try to characterize it, I'd describe it as a philosophical dark comedy. And, in my opinion, it's the late, great Philip Seymour Hoffman's magnum opus role. The film is also written and directed (directorial debut actually!) by the writer of another favourite of mine, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". And actually, guess what, his film debut was actually writing "Being John Malkovich"!! I don't think it'd ever win any polls or anything, but it's such a deeply, darkly beautiful piece of art, and evoked from me quite similar emotions, and it's just something I'd love to see others see. Alternatively, Jet Li's "The One" (2001) is also thematically similar in an entirely different way, and completely chock full of kung-fu choreography! You also get Jason Statham and even Hank from Breakng Bad!
Wow I would probably love that! I love ESOTSM and Being John Malkovich! Oh cool! I’ve never seen “The One” it has Aaliyah right? I loved her! I’m into watching all movies on my channel! Not all about hits but sharing unique experiences with whoever wants to watch em with me! Thanks for the recco I’ll put it on my list!
@@holddowna Ah no, I think that's "Romeo Must Die" with Jet Li and Aaliyah (2000) which I haven't seen but that looks pretty interesting too! The only reason I brought up The One was because I only just realized how oddly similar it was to this despite being a completely different feel. Synecdoche is similar in a philosophical and emotional way, whereas The One is similar in a purely 'multiverse + kung-fu powers' way, haha. And yeah, if you love Eternal Sunshine and John Malkovich, you'll definitely love Synecdoche. It's probably Kaufman's best work in my opinion, and that's a really hard title to earn! "Anomalisa" is also another gem of his, a stop-motion piece that's maybe his most intimate yet. Anyway, love your reactions, please keep 'em coming!!
you really need to do a reaction for Beau Is Afraid. its darker than this one and definitely leaves you with more questions than answers but it is similarly absurd and an amazing ride. its not stupid like ari aster said, he just wanted people to enjoy the ride and then maybe try to figure it out afterwards because its hard to make sense of it during. its basically about anxiety shown through the perspective of the main character played by Joaquin Phoenix. almost anything else i could say about the movie would be a potential spoiler but knowing that aspect makes it easier to digest. Everything Everywhere All At Once is probably my favourite movie of all time, at least right now, and i feel like Beau is Afraid is somewhat related to it. they are very different movies but it still somewhat feels like a darker (in terms of themes and tone) sort of companion piece to EEAAO.
Hello from sunny Las Vegas! I just discovered you tonight! You mentioned something about your Portuguese. Are your parents from Brazil, or Portugal by chance? Just curious because I'm Brazilian-American and my Portuguese is a little rusty! I love this movie, and there are times when Evelyn reminds me of my mom, lol! 😂 And sometimes of me. 😀 Waymond reminds me of my husband 😊, and Jobu reminds me of my kid! 😳 (😁) This movie was AMAZING, but I had to rewatch it a few times before I knew how to feel about it! I can definitely say that it's one of my favorites now! ❤️
Awww!! Ya I’m Portuguese from Portugal! I’ve been to Brazil thou and I love it!! I know some things from the culture are very similar! And it hits home! I loved this movie SOO much my Portuguese is also rusty 🤣
There are such great moments watching reactions to this movie. The moment the reactor realizes this is NOT what they expected. The moment the pig appears. The...well, let's say anal moment. The moment they realize it really ISN'T "Ratatouille." The moment they realize it really is about rocks. The moment they realize they cannot control their tears anymore.
It's a very manipulative pop mainstream movie, designed to hook and trick you into believing it's more. In a year or two it will be all but forgotten, but for now it's sweet and likeable trash.
@Hold Down A - I have the same Star Wars shirt you were wearing in your reaction video. Lol I bought my shirt many years ago at nearest Hot Topic store by my home.
@@holddowna Yep. Lol. That's awesome. And, you're welcome. Happy to hear that you enjoyed and loved watching this film. As a Taiwanese guy born and raised in the US with immigrant parents, I could definitely relate to this movie. And, it's safe to say that I finally found a film that describes my culture and I as well as a film that I can relate to on a personal level. Lol.

i was literally giddy after watching this much like yourself
definitely one of my favorite movies of all time
I came here because of your comments after watching The Big Lebowski!
Man I did NOT expect to be reminded about that Bugs Bunny puzzle platformer game...
The audience score would be much higher if more people watched it twice. The second time I watched EEAAO, it blew me out of my seat.
I know! I rewatched this again right after ! I made my husband watch it

Omg the shirt is actually a star war advertisement from a movie theater line, I used to go to these theaters when I was a kid.
Unlike any other movie I have ever seen. I am a year late for the reactions to it, but it makes me laugh and cry at the same time.

Hahhahahaha!
Love this movie ❤🎉great reaction !! 😅
Such a beautiful movie 💜💜
The hot dog fingers were necessary, to give your emotions breaks. No cats and dogs allowed as pets in the "Fingerveerse"!
Best movie.
John Malkovich being John Malkovich vibes, to understate things.
This movie deserved every accolade and award it won. It's just too bad Stephanie Hsu couldn't also get an Oscar, her performance was certainly worthy.
I agree so much with this statement
