This is actually Ke Huy Quan's return to acting after quitting because Hollywood just wasn't taking many Asian actors, and watching Crazy Ritch Asians made him want to return to acting. It's crazy that he got this role only a couple of weeks after coming back to acting
It's mind blowing! He's SO GOOD
And not only that but his entertainment lawyer happens to be Jeff Cohen
Imagine having to talk to chunk to get data to be in your movie
Now that’s something I didn’t think I would ever say in my life
he needs to cast as the new indiana jones.
They wanted to cast Jackie Chan, but he couldn't fit it into his schedule. It isn't often when the second call after Jackie actually makes the movie arguably better!
*Hollywood just wasn't taking many Asian male actors* FIFY
When he says "In another life...I would have really liked just doing laudry and taxes with you..."
That got me right there
exactly, I bursted in to tears in that scene
I don’t mean to shade anybody,and Doctor Strange 2 is a good movie.But this line is much better than“I love you in every universe.”
😭😭😭
oh god i was with girl i like i was trying not to cry in that part (because instantly related to the husband and i realized she was a whole lot like the girl)
but when he said that i looked at her i cried my eyes out lol
@@zeynaviegas5043 was with my gf watching this too, and we both just balled our eyes out at this scene
Someone’s probably mentioned this already, but her first alternate-life vision, the one where she becomes a martial-arts film star, is essentially Michelle Yeoh’s actual life, and some of the clips are actually her in her younger days.
ALL clips are of Michelle Yeoh in her younger days. :)
@@voightkampffchamp I'm not sure she ages 😅
Its even more meta to think that after her first version dies, we cut to her martial artist self on the premier of this exact movie lmao
Just her on the red carpet of Crazy Rich Asians are clips of Michelle's real life. The other stuff was made up. Michelle Yeoh was a ballet dancer before a chance upon a Hong Kong commercial that eventually led to her career in action acting.
Another fact: in the original version of the script, Evelyn was named Michelle!
I really loved the take on nihilism where it’s literally like, if nothing matters in the grand scheme of things, then why not just try to enjoy yourself and cherish the moments you have with your loved ones instead of being a typical nihilist, who just doesn’t care about anyone or anything because “nothing matters” this movie hit me hard
As said elsewhere, this movie is The Virgin Nihilism VS The Chad Zen.
I feel like EEAAOs response to nihilism is more along the lines of Camus’ rebellion against the absurd, since Jobu’s solution to meaninglessness (i.e. the bagel) and Evelyn’s rejection of that choice is essentially Camus’ philosophy on suicide. “There is only one really serious philosophical question, and that is suicide”; for Camus the recognition of life as meaningless leaves one with a choice, either you flee into death and illusion or embrace (but also rebel against) the absurd. This seems to be the solution that Evelyn arrives at in the staircase scene, yes life is meaningless, yes it can be painful, but so what? Ultimately the movie does seem to reject Camus’ belief that there is literally no meaning to the question of life and existence by positing family and love as the things that give life meaning, but I do think Camus’ question of suicide is really important to the themes of this movie.
They're both true, that reason justifies doing everything and doing nothing. The inherent contradiction of life.
I've referred to myself as an altruistic nihilist for years now, because at the end of the day, nothing really matters, but I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and making the life of those around me a little brighter. There is no ultimate goal, no overarching purpose, so you might as well enjoy the time you have. It just so happens that I enjoy helping people and caring for those I love.
@@erianle123547 I referred to myself as optimistic nihilist for a long time, until I discovered Absurdism. Maybe that definition works for you?
I always tear up with the husband scene. The part when he says somehow he felt everything was his fault and the essence of him was that kindness isn't a weakness. Kind, silliness brings people together. The world can be a harsh and hurtful place, but what heals from those bad times are these silly fun times.
That's the British show "Doctor Who", the speech is similar to the 12th Doctor's regeneration. The film itself, while extremely original, is similar to some 90s Hong Kong comedies, like "McDull: The Alumni", it takes inspiration from non-Hollywood cinema, I believe.
This movie is so beautiful. It correctly acknowledges that nothing matters, but the it shows that that doesn't constrain us to being uncaring, rather it frees us create meaning and love and beauty.
Optimistic nihilism is a hell of a thing when it finally clicks. Suddenly you switch from feeling like you're never enough, then discovering nihilism and feeling like nothing matters. And then finally it clicks that if nothing has some bigger meaning, then there's nothing you "need" to be.
For me there was a bit of an inversion. Going from feeling like the universe needs to have a reason for life, to feeling like life is the only thing that gives the universe meaning. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of cold equations following procedure. The universe only has meaning when it's being experienced, whether it's living as a king or as an ant.
@@webx135 It's all nonsense. There is no scientific instrument to detect "meaning". There's no wand you can point at a bunch of atoms which will click if and only if they have meaning inside. Meaning is a concept constructed from human experience, and larger experience, collective experience, in such a way that it emerges from the connections between humans. So saying "nothing has meaning" is equally nonsensical to saying "everything has meaning", the meaning is created. Further, since it is created collectively, the meaning is real, as it doesn't come from an invention of an individual, but from a long evolutionary effort of millions of people.
The optimism still has to come from somewhere, which suggests that, ultimately, *something…actually, does* matter. What that thing is, is the purpose of life.
I went into this movie virtually blind - no idea what to expect. On my first watch so much was going on in it that I don’t think I really got it all, but it absolutely got all of me.
Since then I have binge-watched reaction videos to EEAAO on UA-cam because I really want to enjoy people experiencing the wonder, the laughs, the craziness, the beauty, and the emotions for the first time. Even now having been re-watching along with the reactors dozens of times it still makes me cry. I don’t know how they do it. Now I’m glad that some of the reactors I’m subscribed to (Natalie, Summ) are watching it too. Love this movie completely and totally.
Same, I’ve rewatched this movie so many times showing it to family and friends. Always looking out to see if any reaction channels I follow react to it. I’m glad Nat finally did :)
I saw this movie completely blind back in march! I’m so grateful to have such an experience in the theaters! This movie is perfect
Sameeee
Same. I watched it for the second time this week a few hours ago with my grandmother. And I just watched a different reaction channel before this
@@calebcox3827 Same for me as well, but I'm glad I did. I think its even better when you don't know what to expect
Fun fact: The actor who played Grandpa Gong Gong (James Hong, who is 93 years old) voiced Po's adoptive father in the KUNG FU PANDA movies and the shaman in TURNING RED.
Also, if you are interested in another Michelle Yeoh movie, I highly recommend CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON (2000).
Michelle Yeoh also voiced the Soothsayer in KFP2.
Crouching Tiger is another perfect film. For the longest, I didn't think it could be matched.
Who doesn't know who James Hong is?
@@tadcooper9733 Younger folks who didn't grow up with some of his movies and haven't taken the time to watch some of the classics he is in. Many of these people aren't even aware of how much a legend Michele Yeoh is. Can't blame them as there is so much media of all types now they can't keep up with all of it let alone take the time to go back and watch great things from the past 40+ years.
@@tadcooper9733 You mean David motherfucking Lo Pan!
and the scene where the entire family is trying desperately to hold on to Joy (both physically and metaphorically) and keep her from leaving them (possible suicidal tendencies) really hit hard. This was indeed a movie about family and the importance of love.
This movie is The Real Multiverse Of Madness.
It’s everything the MCU wants to be!
Facts
Watching this that is exactly what I thought as well. It is what I expected for Dr. Strange MOM and sadly didn't get. There was a lot of synchronicity between the two also, especially the googly third eye on Michelle Yeoh and the mother/child aspect.
No I don't think so. I think most people have always misinterpreted the meaning of the title. It was never supposed to be a film centred on multiverse. It was supposed to be centred on madness. Multiverse of madness means the subject is madness. The word multiverse serves double meaning, meaning both the literal multiverse, and also the vast and dangerous possibilities of madness (the madness here is Wanda's Darkhold influenced behaviour). If it was Madness of Multiverse, then it would've meant what you think it meant. I had thankfully figured this out back when I heard of this film for the first time in 2021, when I kept confusing between Multiverse of Madness and Madness of Multiverse for the film's title. So I didn't enter the theatre expecting something that it never promised.
@@jerryward3311 I'm glad I did not expect this when going to watch MOM, because I knew that the title being Multiverse of Madness and not Madness of Multiverse meant that it was less about multiverse, more about madness. And in that field they definitely delivered.
god i’ll never get tired of rewatching this movie. there’s always so many new things to notice and piece together. doesn’t matter how many times i watch it, i’ll ALWAYS cry. what’s healthier than daily doses of a good cry right? :’)
Yes! Same!! Every rewatch I’m even more blown away by how much thought was put into this film, and how many Easter eggs they’ve hidden even from the very start. Love it so much.
Same! Seen it 4 times already and i never feel any less emotional by the end. Sometimes earlier in the movie by rewatch 3 😂
Yes indeed. I just noticed that the black beagle is a perfectly visual contraposition of the Google eyes in black and white. Nothingness in a vortex VS the Eye willing to find love everywhere.
@@radbarij definitely!! basically ties in all the “spinning around in circles” mentality. not to mention the washer resembling both the bagel and the googly eye with its white body. tons of foreshadowing in this, including the black circles and the jumping pads tying in to evelyn’s alternate lives!
Dunno, sounds kinda unhealthy to me. Maybe it's a good therapist you seek and not a good cry?
I cried probably 4 or 5 times watching this movie the first time. My mum asked my why I was crying over a comedy movie. Afterwards I told her it was one of the best movies I've ever seen. She said it was alright. I don't think she got it.
I didn't cry but I definitely came close more than once. If I had been by myself, I probably would have. The only description my mom had for the movie was that "it was weird."
@@TheTaintedWisdom to be fair it is weird lol but the underlying message is a good one
@@apples8872 When I say that was the only description she had, I mean that literally. For what it was, whether she liked it or not, what she thought of it, etc. The answer to all those questions for her was "it was weird."
My mom tuned out after the first elevator scene, because she's decided she doesn't understand multiverses and doesn't want to try to understand or watch them. She ended up enjoying the end of the movie, but didn't pay attention to the middle.... hour or so? So she was lost. And I was frustrated 😂
My mom cried but when I asked her after she said she “liked it”. She’s never suffered from depression though, she will never understand what that feels like. I think you have to have a lot of darkness in you for this to really connect with your soul.
This is one movie where every 5 minutes I was once again astounded that _THIS_ was an actual scene that was filmed and edited and shown to a packed theater of middle-Americans.
In the theater, the Rocks scene was so bright it lit up the whole audience; packed wall to wall and as surprised yet engaged, in good enough lighting to see each other, enjoying a solid 3 minutes of dead silence broken only by the occasional chuckle at the "dialogue."
It's the sort of moment that can only be experienced in a packed theater.
Happy Tarantino noises intensify.
Damn, Natalie cried way less at this than I did. When Rock Evelyn turned around with the googly eyes, I had enough feelings built up at that point that I just broke down into a strange combination of crying and laughing.
I always thought them singing together on the beginning is actually the ending shot, since they talked about doing it all night at the end. So it became like a full circle.
wow. that makes sense!
Full circle, like a bagel.
I haven't watched a movie that made me cry and relate to as much as this one. I relate so bad to everything feeling worthless and nothing is worth it. Im trying to work on that but man this movie just nails how I feel so much.
And visually and the ideas this movie has. The rock scene seems silly but its so emotional, Joy's fun outfits and powers and how creative they got with it. Love this film and one of my new fave movies
"The knowledge that nothing matters, while accurate, gets you nowhere. The planet is dying. The sun is exploding. The universe is cooling. Nothing's gonna matter. The further back you pull, the more that truth will endure.
But, when you zoom in on earth, when you zoom in to a family, when you zoom into a human brain and a childhood and experience, you see all these things that matter. We have this fleeting chance to participate in an illusion called: I love my girlfriend, I love my dog. How is that not better?
Knowing the truth, which is that nothing matters, can actually save you in those moments. Once you get through the terrifying threshold of accepting that, then every place is the center of the universe, and every moment is the most important moment, and everything is the meaning of life."
- Dan Harmon
Trying to work on it? So you're trying to deny reality. Well anything shy of a blow to the head or bad memory will get you nowhere. Once you know everything is utterly worthless in reality, theres no going back to blissful ignorance. But even though everything is utterly worthless, thats fine, not depressing at all. You can just enjoy playing around.
@@skribblestyle Also how do us finite beings know if nothing matters for sure, and also what do we mean when we say that nothing matters...
@@ItApproaches If nothing has inherent meaning and there's no afterlife or karmic reward, then that makes life more precious, not less. It means kindness is a truly amazing thing, and it makes it all the more important. The lack of any overarching meaning and the fleeting nature of human life means that the only thing that has meaning is how we choose to spend our time in this life. If nothing matters, all that matters is what we do.
@@skribblestyle It's true that nothing matters and everything matters at the same time. It's just a matter of how you (choose/brain allows you to) to relate to the world/universe/people.
This is the first movie in YEARS that I remember watching throughout thinking, "Oh my god I think this will crack my top ten films of ALL TIME."
I've said this in another reaction video, but the line "In another life, I would've loved to do laundry and taxes with you" is the line of the decade.
This is the best movie of the year by a mile.
Agreed, it’s funny, moving, clever and just about Love being the best thing.
I ball every time when the daughter and the mother come to a compromise in the parking lot. The way I see the everything bagel.. it's a gateway to depression possibly suicide. Joy needs Evelyn to be on her side, not contradict her. I will cry everytime Evelyn's rock version falls to save her daughter. Drop everything, GO call your mom today!
In all the wondrous, loud, absurd filmmaking of this entire spectacle of a movie, two people having a heartfelt conversation in the most mundane setting is the scene which struck me at my core and is seared into my memory.
I know the film was _designed to do exactly that_ but, goddammit, 10 out of 10 for its execution. The scriptwriting was superb (economy of words, cadence, voice). The sound design. The lighting. All flawless. But Michelle Yeoh and Stephanie Hsu were raw and radiant.
The emotional climax of a busy film is quiet and deliberate. Are you kidding me?!
Simply put: a masterstroke.
That scene with the two rocks with the "I'm joking! That was a joke!" made me laugh so damn hard. Everything about this movie is so unexpected, but still full of heart. Definitely deserves to be nominated for Best Picture.
One thing I saw about this movie is at the beginning when joy is staring into the dryer you can see the everything bagel faintly. So many details in this movie. It’s so absurd but amazing.
I'm sure it'll be commented a million times but the reason you haven't seen anything from Ke Huy Quan as an adult is because he didn't act for decades due to the only roles available being for like sidekicks and nerdy characters & he wanted less stereotypical roles. I believe he did behind-the-camera work of some kind though.
He moved into doing stunt choreography on various movies.
@@SadPeterPan1977 he was also an AD for Wong Kar-Wai, whose films (especially IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE) they homaged in this film.
The fact that they managed to make a movie this insanely chaotic land with a powerful emotional impact during the whole third act is just incredible.
I love that this movie did such an amazing job of capturing my personal "philosophy" or understanding of the Universe. I've seen it referred to as optimistic nihilism. It's the idea that, on any cosmic or objective level, nothing matters, yet far from being a depressing or oppressive realization, it's a liberation. Because to the Universe, nothing matters, then it is up to us to make meaning. If nothing is written, nothing is set, then it's up to us, individually and as a species. We're the result of countless random and semi-random chains of cause & effect with no guiding hand or purpose, clinging to the surface of a rock hurdling through the vastness of space; barely hairless apes who have only relatively recently appeared on the scene, and yet we are here, trying to understand, trying to make something of ourselves, trying to create beauty, trying to put our mark on eternity.
Anyway. I loved the movie. Glad so many people are experiencing it.
I left the theater crying. The ending tapped something in me and I wasn't ready for it. I recommend it to everyone I talk to about movies now.
No other movie has ever made me feel the way this movie makes me feel. Cried, laughed, and cried some more. Even on my 10th watch.
I walked into this film on premiere day with no expectations. I walked out having watched one of the greatest movies I have ever seen in my whole life. I can't tell you how many times I cried, but I can say with certainty that I called my mother on my way home just to tell her I loved her.
Michelle Yeoh: “How batshit is this movie going to be?”
Director: “Yes”.
*directors
Michelle Yeoh: "How batshit is this movie going to be?"
Director: "Now gag me & spank me."
This movie was such a surprise while watching it, and it's definitely one of the highlights of the year so far. I love Cameron's use of the googly eye rock 😊
What surprised me is how well the young woman acted in these emotional scenes. She was simply incredible almost showing up Michelle Yeoh and THAT is not an easy task.
It's really interesting to see the variety of reactions possible with this movie. The hotdog fingers universe is a litmus test for something, I just can't put my whole finger on it yet. Personally by the end of the movie I accepted the hotdog universe as 100% justified and not at odds with the movie's message in any way, and not purely weird for the sake of weird. I think for certain people the shot of the mustard and ketchup on the face would take away from the ending superspeed montage leading up to the hug. Sort of brave for the directors to place that in there. Natalie would be an example of a person who perhaps over-noticed it and I think you could argue she wasn't able to receive the full effect of the cacophony dissolving in an instant to the hug. For me it was the moment I experienced the most explosive emotion.
Some of what I got from the hotdog universe, is that as absurd/silly/gross as it might seem, it's really only in comparison to the universes that seem more familiar to us. But if we spent our whole life in the hotdog universe and had no knowledge of any of the others, it would be normal to us. Hotdog Evelyn and Dierdre's feelings are just as sincere as in any other universe, their capacity to love is just as real. Who *cares* if they appear "silly" from our point of view, all of the people and their feelings are equally as valuable in each universe. For me it has to do with putting all judgements of appearance aside when it comes to how you think about and treat other people. Someone else's life may seem silly or bewildering to you at first glance, but if you'd been there and lived it alongside them it would make sense to you. We all live in our own private universes and we don't always realize how different other's experiences and beliefs have developed compared to ours, and for them, their reality is normal and we're the ones who seem foreign to them. I don't know if that's what they were intending to convey, but that's what I walked away with.
Hotdog fingers as a litmus test is a great way to put it, lol
@@hollyodell4012 That's 100% what I got from it, so I hope it was intentional!
The mustard and ketchup scene actually made a lot of sense to me to be in that end montage. I was laugh crying the whole end after the rock scene so it actually amplified my emotions and didn’t take me out at all. I had tears streaming down my face as I was hysterically laughing. It was the most emotion I’ve ever felt in a movie theatre. I loved the experience this movie gave me.
@@kyliesmith521 Yeah, I'm not sure I've ever experienced that level of.....emotion-blending before, and done so expertly. In those scenes where they're switching back and forth, the more "normal" universes, a little Racacoonie, "normal", hotdog universe, "normal", googly-eyed rock chase, etc, I think it worked because the emotional undercurrent remained consistent, Chad's emotion is genuine, it's a silly situation, but they play it straight. The hotdog fingers are silly and gross but the acting is as heartfelt as a drama. They've got you right by the heart but there peppering you with these little bursts of silly and gross and unsettling at just the right intervals. And the *music*, I think the music was weaving it all together in a way I'm not even sure how to describe, it all became beautiful. I've never felt anything quite like that.
I never imagined a scene with the two rocks could be so emotional. That scene broke me.
I've seen a LOT of films so far this year. It's really hard to imagine what can top this.
I saw it on the first weekend of it's release with my boyfriend and there were only two other couples in the theater with us. Afterwards, I knew it was something special and hoped word of mouth would see it through. I'm so happy to see others experience this film. I was in a bit of a muddled place when I first saw this, but since seeing this film, I try to follow Waymond and Evelyn's later example and it's definitely allowed more happiness in my life.
Great film!
The cinematography in the scenes with her celebrity persona are a homage to the style of Wong Kar-wai, one of Asia's best film directors.
Other scenes, especially the one where they become rocks, are very reminiscent of the style of weirdness in the X-Men-based TV series "Legion", which I strongly recommend, and indeed, the showrunners of Legion worked on this movie.
I remember seeing this in the cinema and everyone was so quiet and glued to the screen in the rock scene. Was surreal but great.
I went to see this movie because I love Michelle Yeoh and I had heard that it was one of the most interesting and well-done movie in years. Then I watched it, cried my eyes out, and thought about it for days afterwards. I went and saw it again (with two people who knew nothing about it) and cried even more the second time.
This is, to date, my favorite movie of all time. I have never watched it and not cried.
5 minutes in i turned to my wife and shouted THATS SHORT ROUND I haven't seen him in a movie since The Goonies and was so happy he was so awesome on screen again
This is the first movie that I have felt was "Impressively Good" in a long long time. The action and the special effects weren't just window dressing a lame action movie plot. All the acting delivered. The story was amazing.
For me this movie is like a Terry Gilliam existential collapse type story but with the polish and flawless execution of a good Edgar Wright movie.
Which is exactly my kind of combo.
I saw this movie and knew it would be in my top 5 of all time. Then I watched it again and realized what was really going on and fell in love with it all over again. So glad you're reacting to it. Love the channel! Keep it up and congratulations!
There's so much to love in this movie, and all the cast committed to their roles so deeply. Props to all and a special mention for Jamie Lee Curtis, who did a fantastic job as, "Deirdre Beaubeirdra ", the tax lady.
This movie is one of my favourite of all time, I've repeated it 4 times already and still cry everytime.
I saw this movie based on a recommendation from someone. I didn't know anything about it other than it had Michelle Yeoh. I did see a trailer but it doesn't prepare you for anything that happens in the movie. I was so blown away that I picked up a copy on 4K the day it was released. The movie is so good!
I am enjoying watching reactions to this movie because each reactor has pointed out something I missed. Like I didn't pick up on the bagels appearing everywhere, and another reactor pointed out that the googly eyes are the opposite of the bagel. So much interesting symbolism.
I just picked up the physical release because I absolutely adore this film. The Daniels deserve so many awards for this. It's such a loving tribute to cinema as much as it is a touching story of the human faculty to find meaning and purpose. It truly encapsulates the feeling of being. Not being anything in particular but just existing in a moment of time. It's all these chaotic swirls of emotions that don't always coalesce or make sense because WE don't always coalesce or make sense. I flipped from laughing and crying, back and forth, multiple times in the span of seconds. Still the best film I've seen in treaters this year.
I first heard about this movie when it hit the festival circuit and I knew it was going to be a good time, but I wasn't prepared for how deeply impactful it would be. Easily my movie of the year, maybe movie of the decade???? Literally nobody else making movies/tv in this new multiverse trend is coming anywhere close to EEAAO. Also gotta shoutout to @MartialClub, the dudes who did the fight/stunt choreo and performances. They're keeping the traditions of old school HK cinema alive and were over the moon about getting to work with the legendary Michelle Yeoh. There is so much love packed into this movie!
Seeing this in the theatre with no idea of what the story would be is probably my favorite movie experience ever and that includes Avengers Endgame opening night, this movie is just that good.
the movie is a mastepiece. it has everything a great movie needs - complex characters, simple yet touching and relatable story, a ton of weird, fun action sequences and so many different emotions put into this. you can really feel this movie was made by people with passion for cinema and not by a dumb corporation following some stupid steps trying to please everyone, when everything everyone needs is a story like this. a story that might seem crazy and provocative at the beginning, but turns out to be so deep and thought provoking in the end. and for me it's the first time that i actually believed in the overused power of friendship and kindness. here it really seems like an actual power and not just a way to make a protagonist able to do anything a few seconds after being blasted by the antagonist, like in so many sci-fi or superhero movies :P it's just perfect the way it is
Michelle Yeoh is blowing up -- she has a great cinematic and TV resume, "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Crazy Rich Asians", "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2", "Kung Foo Panda 2", even "007 Tomorrow Never Dies" , and so many others. This movie her acting is amazing, even though the crazy plot makes it hard to get a grip on the character.
She really can do all those Kung Fu moves and stunts! Look for her voice parts in "Minions: The Rise of Gru 2022", and others. "The School for Good & Evil" coming this fall,
and at least 3 Avatar sequels, including "Avatar: The Way of Water", where she apparently gets top billing, and that is something considering the A list cast including Kate Winslett, Signourey Weaver, and Zoey Saldana, among others.
i really like you adding the perspective about the mother daughter relationship, and how its usually the mother that's the antagonist, and how this movie flips it. this movie has SO many layers, its excellent to see what everyone gets from it.
Went into this movie completely over hyped. My son told me it was life changing, by little brother said it was mind blowing...
I was not disappointed! Plus, Short Round (Data), and Po's dad!
Congratulations to Ke Huy Quan for winning best supporting actor at the Golden Globe awards!
Well deserved! 🍾👏
Now that you've seen this, I think it's necessary to watch the other movie the Daniels wrote and directed called "Swiss Army Man." Just as weird and just as heartwarming and introspective.
I really hope the success of this movie leads to more people checking out Swiss Army Man.
The whole reason this movie got the marketing buzz it got was the Russo bros' producing, but what got the Russos interested in the Daniels', was Swiss Army Man.
"He's sweet!"
Yes, he's always been. Even grumpy old Harrison Ford couldn't resist 😊
The only thing kinda like this movie is the Daniels’ other movie: Swiss Army Man. It’s also a bizarre quirky movie with “low brow” humor with a ton of emotion and heart
Swiss army man is still one of my favorite movies of all time, I almost didn’t know how to process everything I felt the first time a saw it. You should check out the Daniels short film called “interesting ball” it’s so cool to see how they started to develop their style
The Daniels also directed a episode of Nora from queens and Stephanie Hsu was a guest star on that episode.
I'm late to this video but the first time I saw eeaao, I sobbed alone in a theater for most of the movie. Something about the way Stephanie Hsu was able to portray the numbness of depression really hit hard and I hope she's nominated for best supporting actress. Also love Michelle Yeoh in anything and hearing her talk about how important this project was to her makes me so glad it got the wide release it deserved, all because of word of mouth.
Best Film of the year so far IMO, bawled my eyes out, I want to get the book by the directors more than anything in the world. Id also recommend the A24 podcast they did recently with Dan Radcliffe
I knew this movie was a favorite when rocks turned around and had googly eyes! I cried! Rocks with googly eyes made me cry. That's a great movie.
This is genuinely an incredibly interesting, weird, bats*** crazy and fun movie with such a solid, heartwarming message in the end. Great cast. Great writing. Great directing. All around great movie! Michelle Yeoh is a treasure. And it was great to see Ke Huy Quan back. I really enjoyed this movie! Great reaction!
SO GLAD you got to experience this absolute gem of a movie. What a pleasure to go through the wonderful madness again with you. I've watched it far too many times and have never noticed Alpha Waymond holding Evelyn's ashes and her ashes screaming in the urn in one of the scream montages. Also...fun fact! They got Randy Newman to do the voice for Raccacoonie. One of my favorite easter eggs.
Watched this with my mom as an Asian family, it was excellent, heartwarming, thrilling, funny in equal fashion, all of it tying together very well with an emotional core and a fantastic plot which was complex and left room for the actors to grow. All the Chinese we could understand, so the experience was pretty much flawless, and we both thought it was great. Definitely a “watch-with-your-mom” movie.
im pretty sure " jamie lee curtiss hotdog finger fluffing michel yeo in the face " is not a combination of words i ever expected to ever utter
The rock scene gets me every time. Amazing movie and great direction style.
I literally just watched this movie yesterday..... perfect timing Natalie
Fun fact, the black hole bagel is visually the exact opposite of the googly eye, with it shown to have a white circle with a black center. Symbolizing the conflicting ideologies of nothing matters to everything matters.
When waymond interrupts that stand off and says he knows everyone is confused.. he's confused too and feels like everything is all his fault... It such a genius move... He in the same sentence acknowledges and unifies everyone in the room... And removes the burden of blame from everyone else onto his shoulders... Putting everyone else into a more open mindset. As someone who works in conflict resolution a lot... Waymond in a single sentence helped remove 2 of the most counter productive things in conflict resolution: fear/isolation, and defensiveness. An impressive move!
Something the cinematographer of this movie said in a podcast interview that surprised me was that the Evelyn we see at the beginning of the movie actually dies after that big fight with Joy. The Evelyn we get at the end is a different one. It’s something you might not have realized or thought about but I thought that was sad.
I've had a REALLY bad morning. Your "You! Yes, you! Hello you!!!" Made everything better. Thanks Nat!!!
I’m so happy you watched this. It’s so rare to watch a movie that is so batshit bonkers but rips at your heart and reminds you to love your family
YES! Truly my favorite movie of the year, maybe if all time! So excited to dig into this 💙💙💙 you are a blessing!
I'm glad you liked this movie! I really hope you check out The Daniels first movie, Swiss Army Man. It's equally weird and creative, and surprisingly funny. It's my all time fav movie so far.
I have been waiting for this review! I rarely watch a movie twice until I've forgotten everything about it. I've seen this 14 times in a month.
I saw this movie in theatres with my sibling and I went in totally blind. And I LOVED IT! I was sobbing in my seat. Afterward, my sibling and I talked about what our alternative lives would be like. When they were young, they wanted to be a dancer, while I wanted to be a musician. It was really fun to talk about.
There is a universe somewhere where they dance to the music you make, and you're both famous for it :D
@@IceMetalPunk What a beautiful and kind comment. Thank you so much for making my night! Stay safe out there.
It's such a great movie. I wasn't really on board with it and the hype it received until the moment with the two rocks. Such a simple, powerful and unique moment that serves as a brief break from the chaos of... well everything. Then it pulls your emotions everywhere, and you are laughing and crying and experiencing it all. Then the way it comes full circle at the end and everything makes sense all at once. A truly wonderful movie and I feel bad for anybody that gets stuck on the really uncomfortable hot dog fingers and doesn't finish it.
They stopped at the mid-ending.😂
Omg You and Seb uploaded this reaction today. What a treat. I've been hoping that you'd react to this. Yay!
Honestly one of the best movies I've seen in a long time!
The guy who play Waymond is the same kid who played Short Round in Indiana Jones. This one of his first acting roles after returning to it in like 20 years.
This is not just my favorite movie of 2022 (I highly doubt anything else coming out this year will beat it), it's one of my all-time favorite movies!!! When asked, "What kind of movie is it?" I'd have to say, "A sci-fi/fantasy action/adventure suspense/thriller family comedy/drama with horror elements."
And the editing for this movie! How'd they do it??? How long did it take??? Just WOW!!!
Yes, this movie is a masterpiece!!!!! It easily becomes my favourite movie this year.
"It's literally everything except for drama and horror"
Lol, you'd be surprised Nat.
I'M SO HAPPY YOU WATCHED THIS
This easily became one of my favorite movies, I looove this movie!!!
One of the only movies I can cry to everytime
Found your channel a few weeks ago. I REALLY enjoy and appreciate your ability to break movies down and can understand whats going on and break it down, even in this movie with so much going on. Ive watched this movie probably 2-dozen times now, and watched loads of reaction vids, too, and you are the first one Ive seen to really catch whats going on here.
My day is always better when Natalie uploads.
Agreed.
For me, there's only been 3 perfect movies (granted, I need to see more movies XD):
12 Angry Men
Jurassic Park
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
This is a perfect movie!
I was actually extremely lucky in watching this for the first time with absolutely 0 idea what the movie was about. I hadn't watched any trailers, or even seen any posters of it. The sheer insanity of this film is SO GOOD when you have no clue it's coming.
i won't bat an eye watching john wick obliterate puppy killers but i was literally curled into a ball yelling in distress with every papercut in this movie lol
i literally finished watching this movie for the first time a couple minutes ago 😂
ALL AT TWICE
Please watch the STAR TREK movies! 🖖
The "doing laundry and taxes with you" line really stuck with me.
YES I've been waiting for you to post ahhhhh
Can we please just talk about Jamie Lee Curtis. Who convinced her to do this? 🤣
She said she didn't understand anything in the script but Michele Yeoh was signed on and so she was sold. That is at least the story she tells. She is epic in this. Scarier than Michael Myers ever was, and that is just as the IRS agent. ;)
@@curtisbme *Claps for your username*
To people interested: Stranger Things have started on the Patreon so if you can't wait for the YT edit, you should head over right away
So many parallels subtly and not-so-subtly made in this movie.
One of my favorites is that you don’t learn new things by doing the same thing over and over. In order to learn something new (and grow) is by doing something outside of your comfort zone, or, in this movie, “become an enhanced version of yourself by doing weird shit.”
The scene where joy is running from the mom and says she’s tired of it all hit me so hard, every time i see it i get called back to when i was in the theaters and start to get teary eyed.
React to RRR movie too
This movie is getting overrated lol
@36:18 - I feel like the daughter was actually the protagonist (anit-hero type) and the mother the antagonist (until the end) in your definition as the basis for the fight was the daughter wanting the connection with her mother (same with Waymond). The mother was the that continued to push her away. Gong Gong was really the only pure antagonist. And maybe Deirdre Beaubeirdre..
Loved that you watched this! It is certainly mind blowing movie in creation and the fact that they were able to pull off this insanity. There are still a ton of things you (and most of us) didn't catch in terms of references, themes, technical bits on this first watch so it is something that will continue to reward on re-watch. Listening to the commentary and watching interviews is good for realizing some of the connections and influences (like Eveyln's actions being based on ADHD which one of the directors was diagnosed with). Also great to read comments or watch reactions from people who are first or second gen east Asian immigrants as the additional connection and insight they provide to how specific aspects affect them adds to the understanding of what the Daniels and team accomplished here.
This move really deserves at least a nomination in ever category of every awards show all at once.
my absolute favorite movie ever point blank PERIOD.
Literally the first shot of this film is a circular mirror containing the family, together, enjoying themselves. The entire movie contained within a hole, like the hole of a bagel.
Oh my god how did I miss that you reacted to this??? I'm SO glad I got to see this in a pre-release IMAX screening. Seeing it on that giant screen with a loud sound system and a big crowd, and their reactions during the film, was one of the greatest movie-going experiences I can remember in years. I just watched the DVD with the director's commentary, which is great, and actually watched the multiverse shots of Michelle frame-by-frame and there are some crazy images they snuck in for just 1 or 2 frames, including one that's a shot of Michelle in front of a green screen while the VFX crew can all be seen on a Zoom call on the right, Michelle's face in the bark of a tree and a bunch of grapes, etc. Most of them you don't even really see. There's also a quick 2 frame shot of Stephanie holding an Academy award in the shot where she is Jobu and holding out her arm while different things change. I hope the Oscars nominate the shit out of this film.
Great reaction! This movie blew me away! I love every second of it. Saw an interview of Michelle Yeoh where she got a little choked up because she felt she could finally show off her acting chops in this movie. She was able to be funny, dramatic, show off her martial arts, etc. Awesome!
Yessss so happy you reacted to this one!!!
This is probably my favorite movie EVER and I’m so excited to see your reaction to it!!!!
