We walked out of the theaters blown away and laughing our asses off while wiping away tears. Then I called my mom.
I was lucky enough to see this with a friend I love very much, when we got out I wanted to hug every single person I know.
The masochist guy is one of the directors. What a role to give yourself!
Who doesn't want to have Michelle Yeoh spanking you immortalised in film?
@@gustogusto4519 cant argue with that.
And the two butt plug guys did the fight choreography.
They actually had auditions for people flexible enough. The director entered himself and won.
The other director is the guy who gets sucked into the bagel, and also the mugger in the alley in the kung-fu universe
"How *dare* this movie?!" sums it up pretty well.
No
@@MaxxRemKing1 I am quoting Simone in the reaction, so it's possible that you don't disagree as much as you think.
7 Oscars and the most awarded movie of all time. What a win for creativity and empathy!
I adore this movie, but I'm still kind of sad they gave Angela Bassett's Oscar to Jamie Lee Curtis, especially for this role which was like... she was definitely *there*. like she was present. the nepotism :(
@@K.C-2049It's like a lifetime achievement Oscar without being a lifetime achievement Oscar.
@@K.C-2049 what would angela bassett win an award for?
@@Martin-rh6bn Yeah I find it funny cos I don't really think JLC deserved it but Angela Bassett for dying in Black Panther? She was noble, regal and all that but I got nothing regarding a great performance from it personally. I thought Stephanie Hsu would've been better than either.
Best movie of the year by far, I can't help but just love Waymond and his "this is how I fight" speech
I still have to watch RRR, but I seriously doubt it could possibly surpass this.
@@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421 It may sound unbelievable, but they are surprisingly similar films. If this film didn't exist and RRR was titled 'Everything Everywhere, all at once' you wouldn't question the title after watching the film :)
It don't and i dunno why the hype. Some nice scenes but not so surprising if you know bollywood, and some boring long scenes between a few beautiful moment.
@@Stuzo2 Stop saying bullshit or tell me you haven't seen both.
"This deserves an Oscar" has become such a meme that it can't be said seriously anymore, but Jesus fucking Christ (all three of them) this movie deserves so many awards. The editing alone is _nuts_. I was saved tears because I was so absolutely overwhelmed by the film that all my energy was spent on... everything, but I'm sure they'll come on subsequent watches.
Also, you two are the opposite of ugly crying.
if the lighthouse can't get nominated, i sure hope this film will
The best movie rarely wins best picture. so not holding my breath
Oscar night update to my own comment: YAY.
I love the contrast between the different Waymonds. It really shows Ke's versatility as an actor and I'm so happy he got this opportunity. I'm looking forward to his next project.
Stephanie Hsu deserves *ALLLLLLLLLLL* the awards for this movie. Just an amazing, varied performance with so many different nuances. And fun! Completely bonkers in the best possible way.
what about michelles deserved oscar
Michelle was great as always but steph just stole the show for me
The directors also directed an episode of Aquafina’s Nora from queens and Stephanie Hsu was a guest star in that episode. It was very bonkers not as much as this movie but you can see their style all over that episode.
@@sese8976 Michelle should get best actress and Stephanie best supporting actress...
I agree, Jobu Tupaki is now one of my favorite villains in film.
Did you notice how the “let me go” part was touching suicidal ideas?
When the whole family was holding to each other on the stairs to save the girl “from the bagel”, I was sobbing.
God knows how many times I considered it and no one on the family even realized.
Stay strong dude.
@@TequilaToothpick Thank you. I am doing my best.
Don't see why she should feel more suicidal than the mum. The mum is okay with her being gay, she have a loving father as well.
@@IamNinjaOfNinja the Mum isn't really okay with her being gay. The daughter is depressed.
@@IamNinjaOfNinja You obviously haven't had depression/been suicidal.
Also her mom isn't ok with her being gay, that's why she says "You're why my daughter *thinks* she is gay"
I was looking forward to you two watching this. I saw it three times in the theaters and every time I started crying at Waymond's speech and couldn't stop until the end just like you did. Such an amazing, amazing movie. Daniel Kwan said that he wrote Evelyn as having undiagnosed ADHD (thus discovering he himself also had it) and as someone who went through major depression for years due to my undiagnosed ADHD until I was 28, this movie spoke to me a lot. This is how my brain feels like at any given time and I was so impressed how they could just capture it so well. As someone who is always restless and always feels like they are in the wrong place and they should be somewhere else doing something else, this movie helped me a lot to catch those thoughts and ground myself. It is not easy, it is not a magical solution, but it made me feel not alone. Definitely a top 5 movie.
i have adhd too and the beginning of this movie is how every day goes by for me if i dont have meds. its a nightmare being trapped in your own head unable to do anything about it
@@theoriginalfluff5317 yeah, when she's in the meeting and the janitor's closet at the same time, getting pulled back and forth, being told in both places that nothing is more important, damn I know that so well. Pre-medication there were so many times where physical reality vs imagination/inner world were so equally urgent that I genuinely wouldn't be sure which to prioritize. I bet there are quite a few people who saw this stuff as purely fantastical and don't realize that it isn't so far-fetched for some of us.
This was beautifully written. Thank you for sharing!
It’s interesting that you mentioned that caused I watched a video where the directors said they initially intended to write the movie about the perspective of a ADHD person, but they thought it would be insensitive to do so. But I’m so glad the movie resonated with you.
ADHD is difficult to explain to people.
Although I'm active and do have a busy mind, I couldn't find myself in the symptoms of ADHD. People explain me their restlessness and anxieties, but I never grasp a full picture of your experiences. I used to have a girlfriend with ADHD and I watched hours of videos to understand what she's dealing with.
That's until Long Covid hit me and it scrambled my head to the point, that from one day to the other, I suddenly showed major ADHD symptoms along with a heavy Brain Fog.
Oh-my-god the restlessness is something difficult. I didn't understand what was going on or why I felt the way I felt.. and that really drags you down!
Now I think it's pretty underrated how many difficulties people with ADHD have to endure their entire lives. I wish I understood that sooner.
James Hong who plays the grandfather looked so familiar to me. When I googled him I discovered that he's one of the most prolific actors of all time. He's appeared in over 600 tv and film roles. I love this movie so much. Glad to get to watch your reactions.
David Lo Pan will always be instantly recognizable. Although I was shocked he was still working at his age.
@@grife3000 Haha here I was expecting someone to reply with a Seinfeld joke but a Big Trouble in Little China reference is always welcome!
James Hong , is 93 years old and started in movies in 1950s , played several roles in 1970s TV series Kung Fu , his first big movie role was in , Big Trouble in Little China 1986 . He was the Japanese officer in Airplane! 1980 ... USA had few Asian actors so they tended to hire same people .
First role 1984 Short Round ... Ke Huy Quan ... took 20 year off from movie .
"I just do eyes, just eyes... just genetic design, just eyes. You Nexus, huh? I design your eyes."
That's what popped into my head when I heard his voice.
Yeah, he's pretty much Hollywood's go to guy when they need an old East Asian man for a role
"Be kind" Breaks me every single fucking time. I love this film so much.
Wife and I decided to watch that film when it won the Oscar, was prepared to not like it.... was stunned... never has a film broken my top 5 films that fast... amazing film
On the bright side, the movie successfully shows 2 completely different ways of using “infinite power”, the “Thanos asshat way” and the “kind way”.
To me the husband was the MVP.
I've probably laughed and cried before, but this movie did something different. I was laughing at the fact I was crying, but I was crying at the fact that I was laughing. What an achievement this film was.
I was an emotional wreck after first seeing this movie, and even now rewatching it, I can't stop the tears. I don't even know exactly why, it's all the little things this movie throws at you. Oh, and the guy playing Waymond is indeed the kid who played Short Round back in the day, and he was also in the Goonies. He was amazing in this movie, and I hope both he and Michelle Yeoh get at least an Oscar nomination.
for me, it's because the move is so sincere - every emotional moment is 100% heartfelt. And then you think about how our current reality is just the opposite of that. Waymond's monologue and Evelyn's last lines "I still want to be here with you. I will ALWAYS want to be here, with you." break us and put us back together. The message just resonates for our particular moment right now.
I have watched it 5 times so far, and even just watching this I cried again
That’s how I felt. I swear there were some subliminal messages or something.
I loved it the first time but the second time watching is when the tears started and never stoped. Idk how “the Daniels” made a film that’s gets more emotionally impactful the more you watch it. Such a great movie!
//Waymond is indeed the kid who played Short Round back in the day, and he was also in the Goonies. He was amazing in this movie, and I hope both he and Michelle Yeoh get at least an Oscar nomination.//
Now after the Oscars. Not only were they nominated, but won Best supporting actor and Best actress, along with eight more wins. INcluding for acting: Jamie Lee curtis for best actress, for which Stephanie Hsu (the daughter and villain) was also nominated.
I love how this movie uses the metaphor “statistically improbable actions lead to acquiring incredible abilities”
In our lives, we never learn anything by doing the same things over and over except honing those same abilities. We have to step *out* of our comfort zone in order to grow.
Fun Fact: The 2 Daniels actually wrote the script with Jackie Chan in mind. When he rejected the script, they changed it to story with Michelle Yeoh as the Mum.
There were a few moments in your reactions where one of you wound be sobbing while the other was gagging with laughter -- AT THE EXACT SAME SCENE/MOMENT -- and then seconds later the two of you would flip into the exact opposite.
A complete mad ride of a movie in the absolute best sense.
My mom and I drove 2.5 hours to see this movie for my birthday since it had such a limited release. It was absolutely worth seeing on the big screen. It was fun getting to see your reactions but just imagine how overwhelmed you felt while watching and then extrapolate that feeling to all the craziness on a giant screen with the speakers blaring. It was absolutely overwhelming in every beautiful way.
The two guys in the butt plug scene are brothers, Andy and Brian Le, and they did the fight choreography for this movie. The red haired one, Andy, also played Death Dealer (the masked blue outfitted character) in Shang Chi.
The guy getting spanked with the ball gag is one of the Daniels.
And yes, Waymond is played by Ke Huy Quan aka Short Round / Data from the Goonies. He did an interview while doing press for this movie on Kimmel that was fantastic and explains what he’s been up to.
I was lucky enough to get to see this movie in a theatre with friends - the first boulder scene when all the audio drops out is an experience I'll never forget. All of us in the auditorium became acutely aware of each other's presence, unable to silence our giggles at the great on-screen text but trying desperately to be quiet for each other, all connected in the moment.
I also appreciate the running gag of referencing the song “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)” throughout the movie. The lead singer actually wrote multiversal covers for the song and they play during the van chat about divorce, the chef scenes, and the hidden sex dungeon in the office ^_^
Omg your right, Waymond is Short Round! The actor took a huge hiatus after child acting since he couldn’t find roles that he thought suited Asian actors, but after the success of Crazy Rich Asians he was inspired to go back into it, and this movie was his big debut back
I always resist putting new movies on my "Fav movies ever" list. I like to wait and make sure they have staying power for me but this movie is an unstoppable colossus. Sci-fi, action, martial arts, immigrant experience, queer experience, existentialism/nihilism, comedy, fantasy, relationship drama...it is ALL of these things in equal measure and manages to balance it all into beautifully messy experience of a film; it even makes you care emotionally about the hotdog finger versions of them by the end. An absolute masterpiece.
@@notimportant3686 Name checks out.
@@notimportant3686 standard basic contrarian saying a standard basic contrarian thing. Never change, lmao.
The best part about the butt plug fight is that on top of being utterly ridiculous, the choreography fucking slapped too. They went hard and I love them for it.
Maybe when referring to a butt plug fight don't use phrases like "they went hard" and choreo "f-ing slapped", lol. 😂🤣
I love the exploration of a new concept, and this is now pretty much my favourite movie. One thing this movie did absolutely right which so many movies nowadays forgets, is to have heart. Like you guys said, it had all sorts of crazy things going on, but at its core, it was a simple story of family and finding peace with what you have.
We are all human, and especially in scifi/fantasy, we need that human anchor in amongst the mind bending elements so we can feel and relate.
If it wasn't for the family drama, this movie wouldn't have been a fraction as good as it was. We can probably list a tonne of recent movies that could have been so much more if they remembered that basic concept.
I very much agree. I love how all the weird shit wasn't (mainly?) an intellectual challenge or a puzzle waiting for fan theories but actually served an emotional purpose.
This movie is so great. It’s quickly gone to my top 5 fils for sure. It’s so in its own genre because they marry so many ideas, plot lines, and genres together. But at its heart it’s honestly just a family drama.
But how cool is it they mixed the simple idea of a family learning to love and appreciate another with the concept of a multiverse and the notion that the daughter in thar multiverse felt so undervalued and overly pressured she became a threat to all of reality? Talk about high concept pitches.
Easily the best movie of the year, and when alls said and done will probably go down as one of the best movies of the decade if not longer, near perfect. Great reaction!
simone and george going from crying-laughing to absolutely speechless is amazing
I never actually laugh out loud during a movie, except this one. I was hiccuping by the end from crying and laughing. Absolute masterpiece of a film.
I saw this in theatres and openly weeped. Never had such a visceral reaction to a movie like this before. So fucking good.
Also, fun fact: Ke Huy Quan (aka Short Round/Waymond) did stunt choreography on that Jet Li movie The One.
Yeah, after he quit acting, he did stunt work and stunt choreography until his recent return as an actor. I'm glad Ke is back though, loved him as Short Round, loved him as Waymond. And he's still got it for action that's for sure. (Oh and I liked The One, I know most people hated it lol)
He was also in The Goonies, I believe. Waymond, Thanos ,Samwise and Joey Pants were all in that one.
I hope Ke Huy Quan get a Best Support Actor nomination for Waymond. He did such an incredible job
Jamie Lee Curtis' performance is really being overlooked in this. She's outstanding, and almost unrecognizable.
She got an Oscar and a few other awards for this
Meanwhile in DS Multiverse they just need a famous actor and slap some high budget for sfx and it's done.
THIS IS MASTERPIECE.
Returned to watch this video after the Oscars because it deserves more views. Your reaction is precisely why this film managed to win 7 Oscars in a year where everyone else thought the same ol' Oscar bait would suffice. EEAAO so original, creative, unique, daring, shocking, absurd, hilarious, heartfelt, and moving. Bravo to Emerson alums, the Daniels, fellow Oscar winners Michelle Yeoh, JLC, KHQ, and everyone else who made that film so great.
I pride myself in saying that I am a movie aficionado.
But when at the end you said that you have never seen anything like this, it got me to think, have I ever seen anything like this?
No. Absolutely not. And that is both shocking and exciting. I am not sure how this movie passed by me without being noticed. So thank you!
The inspirations are from Hong Kong cinema, this is actually similar to a certain style of Hong Kong 90s and early 2000s comedies. You should see "Kung Fu Hustle" and "McDull: The Alumni" (The Alumni is likely my favorite comedy of all time). Those are the previous films made in a style similar to this. The nods to Hong Kong cinema are quite obvious, for example, the wealthy versions of the two characters had the mannerisms of "In the Mood For Love".
The language switches felt so very genuine and inviting to me. That's how it is in every multi-gen bilingual household I've been around/a part of. You have the no English generation, back and forth language generation, and almost all English generation that sometimes screws up the nuance of the non-English language.
James Hong is one of the most legendary asian actors of all time. I loved this movie as its such a brilliant metaphor for depression and generational trauma.
I have never seen a film that put me through so many emotions both one after the other and at the same time. I was genuinely a laughing, crying, depressive, happy anxiety filled mess throughout the entire second half. It was overwhelming in the best way.
I haven't laughed at anything so hard as the "jump on the trophy" scene for years. Had to stop the movie right there to wipe off tears of joy. What a brilliant yet utterly grotesque scene.
One of the Daniels made a movie called The Death of Dick Long (I've heard mixed things) and they did a segment on an anthology film about a boat (I almost saw it at Sundance 2020). However, their one previous film, Swiss Army Man, is just as unique and strange, and you should definitely see it. The less you know going in, the better.
Swiss Army Man is so good!
I really liked The Death of Dick Long (the director is in EEAAO as the guy who gets the ball-gag and spanked by Evelyn), but it is less overall surreal than this movie or Swiss Army Man.
OMG, I haven't finished the whole video yet and I already know I am gonna watch this reaction so many times xD
This movie is the REAL Multiverse Of Madness.
the universe is incredibly cold and unfeeling, while also being the most joyful ,absurd expression of itself. and it is beautiful.
“This laugh cry is insanity.” Hahahha. It’s so pure and amazing.
The two guys in the plug scene are also the fight choreographers
Yes! One of the best movies I've ever seen. My family deals with alot of depression, and anger, just lots of negative outlooks on every choice or reason. Quite exhausting. Seems like I've become the family psychiatrist. It's hard to help another see a postive outlook on past mistakes and what not. This movie is so beautiful, and I am able to see both pathways an individual might feel. I've been doing my best to convey balance to my little brother. In choices, but mainly to see what he is happy with, what choices he must do for his own life. Say all of that 5 times fast.... haha
Oh and the hotdogs for hands universe freaks me out. But I still love it all. All the universes. It was also so odd in that boulder scene. I was the only one laughing in the theater. It was hilarious.
"THIS IS AMAZING." was literally the single looped thought going through my mind from the moment the crazy kicks off to the second the credits roll.
I saw this is a packed theater opening weekend. And the humor, especially the butt plug, hotdog finger, raccoon chef humor, is most definitely not my cup of tea. So when the room shook with laughter I felt extremely out of place and was just waiting it out.
And then came the bagel.
And the shockingly accurate portrayal of depression and existential crisis (I’ve had diagnosed manic depression since I was 13) It was suddenly unbelievably relatable and I started SOBBING. I completely unraveled and spent the rest of the movie trying not to be too loud. It came out of left field, and I was caught so completely off guard, that it was even more powerful a reaction because of that.
I still don’t know what to tell people when they ask me what I thought or if they should see it, or if I think they will like it.
This movie confuses me more then anything I’ve ever seen. That’s all I can say. (But I will add the rocks killed me. THAT made me laugh pretty hard)
I've seen thousands of movies in my life and this might be the best movie I've ever seen it is just truly spectacular. I think almost no movie impact to me like this one. After watching it just left me spechless feeling that I had witnessed a new stage in the evolution of film like if nothing can ever be the same after this movie
and i was actually shook by the fact I just watched a top to bottom perfect film.
Quite possibly the most life affirming movie I’ve ever seen. The entire movie can be summed up as the fear, the search, and the holding on to joy.
She might be one of the best actor's ever just her range she's amazing👍👍👍👍👍
Best picture. Best actor/actress. Best editing. Best costume/makeup. Best cinematography.
Sorry, I'm just making a list of all the Oscars this movie's going to win.
Best screenplay. Best director(s). I could go on.
There are so many references to other films and cultural icons in this movie that if you don't concentrate, you'll miss them.
A masterpiece.
Waymond's speech made my cry in the cinema, which never happens.
I just finished watching this film and immediately went to patreon to find your reaction. Holy crap this was an incredible film. Certainly not one I'll ever be able to forget.
The best film I've seen since maybe The Lighthouse. I cried, I laughed - I was so utterly engrossed in the movie. Wild, unpredictable, hilarious and with copious amounts of warmth. Love it.
Watched alot of yall movie reactions and this by far is my favorite...both of yall sniffling and laughing at the end is everything everywhere all at once
I also don't think I've ever seen George laugh as hard as he did at the scene where the security guard jumps butt first onto that trophy! 😄
Loved this film but so much of that love is for Michelle Yeoh who I've been a fan of for decades, ever since I saw her jump a motorcycle onto a moving train in "Supercop", and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is in my top five favorite films of all time. The Daniels originally wrote the lead part for Jackie Chan, and thank God he turned it down because it became a wholly new angle with Evelyn as the lead. I was so lucky to see this in IMAX at a pre-release screening and seeing it on such a big screen with a loud sound system was AMAZING. It's also so fantastic that James Hong got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame not long after this film came out. Long overdue and so well deserved. I can't wait for the bluray DVD to come out because I will watch hours of behind the scenes on this film. I know that only 5 people did all the visual effects, which in itself is insane. Great, perfect reaction to this amazing film.
One month away!
James Hong is an absolute legend. He's deserved that star for a long, long time - you're right.
I swear to god, that butt plug scene was absolutely hilarious, could not get enough. Lol
Love that you guys noticed that the universe in which evelyn’s an actress and martial artist is just Michelle Yeoh
I saw this movie in theaters and I literally died of laughter. I don’t think I’ve laughed harder during a movie
A g-g-g-ghooost!!!
sorry for your loss...................of your self
This is truly one of the most spectacular pieces of cinema in the last 30 years, easily. And your reactions are priceless, and exactly what I expected. This movie is so thrilling and so touching and so hilarious, and it is all of those things are once, almost as if the title knows it's movie. ;) Michelle Yeoh is a planetary treasure.
I've watched this film 10 times, wept most of them, and cried just now watching you react to the movie. Damn. It's hard to put into words how special this film is.
You and me both, friend.
This is a movie that really earns it's quiet moments - the opposite of a normal film, but no less effective.
The other film the Daniels did that was a hit was Swiss Army Man starring Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano. Also a weird, fun, and creative film that's worth a watch.
Seconded. Very underrated film.
when Michelle Yeoh drops that absolute emotional atom bomb of a line at the end, "I will always *always* want to be here with you" I just lose it. even completely out of context it just destroys me lol
Well, in Taiwan they translated the movie title as 媽的多重宇宙。which can either "mom's multiverse" or "this damned multiverse" or straight up "this fucking multiverse". Which to me the translation add on abit of the already chaotic movie.
I just watched this movie, and it is so good. It's like the show "Sens8" had a baby with the Jet Li movie "The One" but it was raised on the comedy of the most absurd movies of all time like the Monty Python movies. How they put all this together and not only made it work, but they made a masterpiece? How?
In a film full of absolutely heartwrenching moments, WPGA Joy explaining the everything bagel to Evelyn....putting your hopes and dreams on it... etc.... is absolutely brutal to me.
I hosted a movie night with this film. We had hotdogs for dinner, everything bagels mid film. I gave everyone a googlie eye, telling them they would know what to do when the time came. We had a great time.
Such a breathtaking movie. I cry harder and laugh harder every time I see it, it’s become my favorite movie of all time after seeing it 5 times and giving it time. It’s perfect in every single way.
I love how the constant for everyone in every universe is wanting purpose and love.
I absolutely fell in love with this movie in the theatre. Definitely in my top 5 movies now. For a similar experience I highly recommend “Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind”. Great reaction as usual.
I love that movie, too !
#EternalSunshineOfTheSpotlessMind
Glad y'all watched it and loved it. It's my favorite movie of 2022 (or of many many years) and is on the list of "favorite movies ever." It had both creativity and heart oozing out of every frame and I find the themes to be soul enriching.
Awesome film, awesome reaction. It was an epic cinema experience. Just like you I was all over the place, laughing, crying, just loving the whole thing. Modern masterpiece. Everyone please watch this film and tell everyone to watch it! :)
6:20 I know you probably know this by now, but yes. That is Ke Huy Quan who played Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. He has one of the most inspiring stories this year. Next to Brendan Fraser.
Ke Huy Quan was cast from his elementary school as part of an open call when they were making Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in 1984. He was cast as Data in The Goonies after that. and then his career dried up. He really struggled to find acting roles and eventually quit acting altogether. He actually became a stunt coordinator and worked for years behind the scenes. This was his first major film role in over 35 years and the directors of this movie sought him out specifically. He is amazing! As is eveyone else in this movie. It is a travesty that he wasn't offered any significant roles for decades.
This movie better win some awards. Michelle Yeoh alone, incredible. Ke Huy Quan aka Short Round was the MVP though. Stephanie Hsu, Mr. Hong are all great also. Oh and Jamie Lee Curtis, come on! The sets, action, emotion basically everything everywhere all at once, as a movie.
So fun little fact in case you don't know - the two butt plug guys are part of a TH-cam channel called Martial Club. They are brothers (I think....) and have been studying and doing martial arts for years and years now. Over the past few years, they've worked with Jackie Chan and his stunt team (they're idol if I recall correctly) and the brother who got the not butt plug in his butt was also in Shang Chi as the masked guy that "trained" Shang and got his soul sucked out at the end. I would highly recommend going back and watching some of their Martial Club stuff, since it's SO good and pays so much respect to Hong Kong cinema etc. You'll understand why they were chosen to not only do the fight choreography for this movie but to actually be in it and work with Michelle Yeoh herself (also one of their idols). Ok, info dump over! :)
I loved this movie so much! I was physically and emotionally exhausted after seeing it. I don't think I've switched between crying and laughter so much in any movie.
This is my absolute favorite movie, period! I watched it 3 times in 3 days, watched every interview i could, I even love watching other people watch it for the first time lol
The fact the film becomes so emotional and poignant in spite of it literally throwing everything and the kitchen sink at you is incredible. Michelle Yeoh gave an amazing performance here, and I really liked the overall message of love and kindness triumphing over hate and violence, being powerful enough to calm all the chaos just enough to live with it.
Such an amazing movie. I laughed and cried so much during this amazing film. Michelle Yeoh has always been a fav of mine since Police Story 3. The feelings. Wow. I get her sadness of feeling you have wasted your life. Joy and her depression Waymond and the relationship woes. All of it just...deep. The start to their final fight always chokes me up. Evelyn starts out with the traditional kungfu pose then opens her arms for a hug. Ooof.
I saved this reaction until I saw the film.. what an incredible piece of work, and a great reaction. Thanks peeps! **^^** One things I do love is that by the time you get to the rock scene you're into "Morgan Freeman narration" mode.. couldn't you just hear Stephanie Hsu and Michelle Yeoh's voices with the subtitles?
I legitimately think this might be the best film I have ever seen.
"What's with the googly eyes in the top right corner" Wow you inadvertently got so much of the movie right away!!! Also good to see a reaction
from someone who is Chinese.
The husband, played by Ke Huy Quan, was in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and the Goonies as a child actor.
Sometime after his child roles in the 1980s, he moved away from acting and into behind-the-scenes stuff because he wasn't getting the kind of roles he wanted. He said when he saw Crazy Rich Asians and saw all of these Asian actors together in a big Hollywood movie, he had a pang of jealousy that he didn't get to be involved and started putting feelers out about acting roles again, and got offered this great script. A doubly potent story because I think seeing CRA and feeling regret ties into the themes of the story, the feelings that Evelyn has seeing her other lives.
i got to the elevator scene and it clicked.. OMG its data
I watched the film yesterday. This is probably the third time I watch your reaction. I cry everytime.
I finally joined your Patreon specifically because I couldn't wait to see your reaction to this. I was not disappointed. Amazing movie!
It's played as a joke in the movie, but the line: "Even in a stupid hot dog finger universe, we get very good with our feet!" is so profound to me.
Loved this reaction. I saw this 4 times in the theatre and I’m just after that first high it gave me. Both of your reactions leading up to the rock scene and Waymond’s speech was pretty close to feeling it all again. Perfect ☺️😱😳🥯👀🦝🥹😂😭🤯
Four times now, I have come by for this reaction. To at least queue up specific moments. Really a great entry on your channel.
The rocks were great. And when Raccacooney was ACTUALLY Raccaccooney and not the mother misspeaking... Amazing!
Ke huy Quan returned to acting after mostly doing off camera stuff since he quit acting and man does he still have it we have to thank crazy rich asians for giving him fear of missing out I love this movie and everyone did so good even the smaller roles played their parts to perfection
Love that you're covering this. Such a great movie.
Very few movies are as direct to the point with their titles as this one. George provided much needed insight on the cultural nuances. And Simone, laugh-cry as much as you want 😭
I cried my eyes out during this movie, and that hardly ever happens to me
This reminds me of some Charlie Kaufman's films. You should try his Being John Malkovich or Synecdoche, New York.
When the grandfather started talking, all I could think is "EYES! I just make eyes!" I wasn't sure which film I knew him from, I thought a Hong Kong film at first.
James Hong. A movie legend who's been in everything from Blade Runner to Chinatown to Airplane. He is perhaps just famous for Big Trouble in Little China, or Kung Fu Panda.
This has been one of your best reactions! And that's saying a lot since all of them are top notch.
