#it’s like that movie everything everywhere all at once

[pubprob]

sometime in the past few decades movies stopped being movies

whatever happened to throwing a dart at a board and coming up with the most random plots that no one else could ever think of? what happened to weird kids and disgraced scientists needing to come up with 1.21 jig-o-wots (not how it's pronounced btw) to power their time machines? what happened to saving a town by dancing? what happened to stealing the declaration of independence? what happened to dinosaur fossils and wax mannequins coming to life? what happened to towns of anthropomorphic chickens being attacked by aliens in want of acorns? what happened to mean girls getting hit by a bus while storming out of a school left in shambles by teen drama?

what happened to cinema?

#ok obviously we still have great movies now #i mean just think about 'a mom does her taxes but then becomes the savior of the multiverse' #or 'doll learns she is an independent woman while male counterpart sings matchbox 20" #but come on guys they dont make them like they used to #film #hollywood #back to the future #footloose #national treasure #night at the museum #chicken little #mean girls #everything everywhere all at once #barbie

I've seen thousands of Evelyns, but never a Evelyn like you. You have so many goals you never finished. Dreams you never followed. You are living your worst you. I can't be the worst… what about the hot dog one? No. Everyone here agrees. This one's worse.

#this movie has so many good lines its so hard to pick like #'I don't know what the heck is going on. But somehow it feels like this is my fault. I don’t know. The only thing I do know #is that we have to be kind. Especially when we don't know what's going on.' ??? banger #everything everywhere all at once #eeaao #evelyn wang #michelle yeoh #jobu tupaki #cgedits #mygifs #movie gifs #gifsets #film #filmgifs #cinematv #hd gifs #highly recommend reading the script holy fuck how did they write this

[arialebenthal]

everything everywhere all at once really said that you can be a million different people in a million different universes but in every one the thing you desire most will be companionship and in every single one you will have to fight for that companionship and in every single one you will realize that the fight has to be made of kindness and love or you will despair and lose all hope. and then they said that the only thing that can save every universe is reaching out your hand when someone offers it to you, and that you have to offer your hand to someone, even when they tell you to give up. and also they named their villain joy and the villain wasn't trying to destory anything she was just looking for her mom and she changed her name but across every universe her mom realized that in the middle of all the despair and destruction her greatest joy was still her daughter. i'm unwell

there were so many good lines in the movie but i keep specifically thinking of the one where evelyn says (paraphrasing)  “even in a world without hands we’d learn to play music with our feet” 

i cant get over how they used the most ridiculous way possible to arrive at such a profound moment? that line should be completely hilarious given what they built it on but in context its somehow a genuinely powerful, moving moment. this movie really was everything, everywhere. 

#Everything Everywhere All At Once #eeaao #eeaao spoilers #im intentionally not quoting it correctly to avoid spoiling ppl but everyone who saw the movie knows which scene im talking about #its so good like even the fact that they used a comedic set up to get there just adds to the power of the line #because you didnt think thered ever be a serious moment connected to that. but even here. there is humanity. there is emotion.

Me, to my friend, discussing both Barbie and Oppenheimer: I mean actually maybe people should just stop expecting a 2 hour movie or even a 3 hour movie to contain all the things and fix feminism or whatever. You can't fit all the important stuff into that slot, there just isn't room, and the medium doesn't let you ruminate over stuff properly. It has its place, it's part of the narrative, let it be what it is and take from it what's there, then find the rest somewhere else. Seek it out, don't expect it to be handed to you on a platter. No movie can be everything.

Also me: Except Everything Everywhere All At Once, of course. EEAAO really is that good

so in cantonese it's called 奇異女俠玩救宇宙. lets break that DOWN

the tweet i saw about it translated it as "wacky woman fucks around and saves the world". is that an accurate translation? well… yes and no.

let's start with 奇異. you'll also notice it in films like doctor strange (奇異博士). a rough translation would be wacky/weird, yes. or strange if you will. but it also has connotations to magic, the supernatural, interesting things, things outside the realm of reality. something singular, unique. and that fits with the film so well.

女俠 next. 女 means woman. not very much to say here. 俠 if you google it would mean something like brave, hero, etc. not a huuuuge amount to analyse in this part apart from the fact that 俠 is used in the title of every single superhero movie (spiderman is 蜘蛛侠, iron man is 鐵甲奇俠, so on and so forth) so i guess a cantonese person seeing this movie title would assume it was somewhat superhero-y. ("to be fair, it does have quite good action scenes" - my friend who had to have this post infodumped to them at 2am before i decided to post it on tumblr)

NOW THE NEXT BIT. THE BIT THAT INSPIRED THIS UNHINGED 2AM DEEP DIVE. 玩救. THIS IS WHERE THE FUCKS AROUND AND SAVES THE WORLD BIT COMES FROM. 玩 means to play. 救 means to save. so she's playing around and saving something. cool.

but wait, because this is actually an EXTREMELY CLEVER PUN. you see, 救 is pronounced "gou" in cantonese. you want to know another word that is pronounced "gou"? and not just after you fuck around with tones, but actually in the exact same pronounciation? 夠. now what is the significance of that you may ask?

玩救 itself is not a word/phrase. 玩夠, however, is. same pronounciation so it fits into the wordplay. 玩夠 means literally to have "played enough/finished playing". basically you're done, you're moving on. but that is the centre of evelyn's struggle! she doesn't think she's done anything with her life, she constantly rues the fact that she could have done so much more and she didn't! evelyn HASN'T 玩夠 life yet. she wants to do it all, to live all those lifetimes. and it is through living all those lifetimes and finding enlightment that she 玩夠, and thus is also able to 救 the universe.

and then 宇宙 is universe. like the whole universe. there's only one universe in this translation. i'm not quite sure how you would articulate multiple universes in cantonese.

anyway the person who made this title translation was IMMENSELY clever

#everything everywhere all at once #eeaao #cantonese #i wrote this when i was hyperfixating over the movie and only found it now because i'm writing another long thing in drafts #anyway hope you like this belated analysis

watching a movie with your mom is truly a unique experience. the credits start rolling on everything everywhere all at once and you’re sitting there like “wow, what a profound perspective on the human experience. everything matters because nothing matters and vice versa. trying to figure out who we would be if things were different will drive us to insanity. being present here and now is the best we can do for ourselves. sometimes laundry and taxes is really all you need if it’s with the right person. sometimes if you help one person you can save a whole bunch of other people in the process. and even in the strangest circumstances there is always something to love” and your mom is like “THAT WAS SO WEIRD AND GROSS AND I DIDNT GET IT I AM NEVER LETTING YOU PICK A MOVIE AGAIN”

#helenaposting #sigh. sure mom we can watch another period piece about white women being able to vote #‘WHY IS HE TRYING TO PUT THAT THING UP HIS BUTT!! EW!!’ well mom i’m sorry you didn’t like that. #unfortunately i didn’t make the movie so i cant tell you why they decided to go that route #however it was chekovs butt plug. did u really see the giant butt plug in the beginning and expect it not to come up later #barbi.mov #everything everywhere all at once

[prototypelq]

did I watch another supercut of an Outer Wilds playthrough? yes. have I done it multiple times before and played the game a lot myself? yes

Will I ever stop bawling my freakin eyes out each time at the ending? No

btw the playthrough I saw was done by a astrophysicist and it was a great watch, I highly recommend it if you for any reason can't experience the game yourself, or if you're looking to try to remember the blind playthrough feelings as a veteran.

I highly recommend trying out the game first if you've never played it before. There can only be one blind playthrough of this game and it will be the best experience possible. Please try out Outer Wilds.

#i cry about outer wilds therefore i am alive #theres literally no stopping the outer wilds feels #outer wilds #What A Game #if you love space you'll love this game #if you like existential themes youll like this game #if you loved the Everything Everywhere All At Once youll love this game #also please watch this movie if you haven't #its the most profound movie i have ever seen #also play outer wilds its incredible #its the most breathtaking awestriking beautiful fun game ever #its also the scariest game i ever played #its just incredible in every possible aspect #Youtube

Be me, unsuspecting: :)

My dad, the most stereotypical emotionally-constipated and unapologetic Asian man, after watching EEAAO: I'm sorry.

Me, suddenly afflicted with all stages of grief simultaneously:

#eeaao #so what if i watched it 3x in theaters and decided to inflict it on my family #i knew mom would feel things from the movie but i never expected dad to out of no where APOLOGIZE BECAUSE HE NEVER DOES IT REGRET IS NOT #A CONCEPT FOR HIM #and somehow the movie gave them the same brain damage it did me and it changed them #mom was the chainsaw man meme of: Oh she just like me she just like me fr!!! 😭 #both of them are usually disdainful of the movies i show them but this time... silence... #the next day they admit to me separately that they can't stop thinking of the movie and I'm 👁👁 #we're healing intergenerational trauma with love and understanding babyyyyyy ❤️ #anyway watch eeaao #I'm shilling it so hard #everything everywhere all at once #huxiantalks

[awesome-cookies-and-cream]

how do i even explain Everywhere Everything All At Once? It’s got multiverse shenanigans, sapphics, kung fu, generational trauma, taxes, rocks, romance, sausages, immigration, laundry, ADHD, nihilism, absurdism, bagels, yin yang, existential crisis, the fear of being a failure and all your choices being wrong, coming out, acceptance, choosing love and kindness despite the coldness of the universe and it’s lack of meaning, dildos, butt plugs, milfs being badasses, girlbosses, malewives, scifi, depression, passive metaphors for suicide, mother issues, ratatouille, confetti, the IRS coming for your ass, James Hong

like i'm sure it's been said before and it's really not exactly subtle, but the use of jobu's final "form" being a call-back to the cubist art movement is inspired. the whole movie is absurdist, it's using weirdness and outlandish concepts to tell a deeply-emotional story, but at the end of it, joy/jobu is literally an absurdist representation of a human being.

#everything everywhere all at once #of course i am watching this movie again why would i not be watching this movie again #also i feel like it's a call-back to a specific painting but i can't seem to find it #either way it's explicitly cubist
