I'm realizing now that the primary difference between Joy and Evelyn is that when Joy discovered that nothing mattered, she let go of everything. When Evelyn discovered nothing mattered, she held on as hard as she could to every little thing.
It's okay to let your family go - but don't let them go alone. Knowing that there will always be someone right behind them is often what helps them get through the day.
How does such a bat shit crazy movie work so beautifully? Its chaos is reconciled in our sub-conscious all knowing minds thru the use of symmetry - which is the basis of all perceived beauty. When Becky says "What did he say?" it symmetrically closes the loop set up at their first meeting when Becky said "Nice to meet you!" and Gong Gong didn't understand what SHE was saying!! LOL. Our brains notice that call and answer completed and it feels good!!
“something that explains why… you still went looking for me, through all this noise” is a sentiment that almost made me throw up from crying so much lmfao, although actually true with the movies plot in real life we always seem to gravitate to those who bring us solace, sanity and familiarity
What's especially sad is that the world we see Evelyn in the most is one where Joy never existed. And while she is very successful, she feels empty, because the two most important people in her life aren't a part of it. I always think back to when she tells Waymond "you're supposed to be poor" and he replies "I guess I got lucky." But he doesn't seem happy about that at all. He became successful too - but that success didn't come with the love of his life, so was it really lucky?
Indeed. The very universe that provided Evelyn the tools needed to stop and to understand Jobu is the universe where her daughter doesn't exist. Ironic and sad.
I know. It's a ridiculous insult that Son Lux did not win Best Original Score for EEAAO. I've been a studio musician/composer/engineer for 40 years and the soundtrack for EEAAO was the best original score I'd heard in at least ten years. It is the glue holding that crazy masterpiece together. The movie was nominated for 11 Oscars and the only categories I thought were a guaranteed win were Best Editing and Best Original Score. Son Lux got ROBBED.
as someone who lost her mother recently, this scene hit me way too hard in the heart. this scene perfectly encapsulates how parents and children can have trouble understanding one another. yet true families will always choose each other, no matter how big the differences, no matter how many fights and disagreements happen. as long as both parties are willing to try to understand one another, to love each other, and to cherish every moment together, nothing else matters. my mother and i didn't have the perfect relationship, we fought a lot and disagreed on a lot of things, but she always tried to understand me, and i did my best to understand her. i miss her so much, and i think she would've enjoyed watching this movie too.
i lost my mother too about 6 or 7? years ago? i was 12. evelyn and joy's relationship was extremely accurate to what daughter/motherhood is really like and i appreciated it. i always so god damn mean to my mom. i was abusive and unforgiving. but she was my home and when i needed safety, she was there. as daughters we cant help but feel anger or hate towards the fact our mothers brought US into the world and we have inherited her pain. but no matter what, we still keep trying and trying to run back to our mothers for acceptance and love because there is no one like her. i hope this movie helped others realize the importance of cherishing the time we are given with our loved ones. because once you lose someone, the guilt never ever leaves.
I think it means a lot if we’re willing to forgive and try to be better people. We all have flaws, but that doesn’t mean we can’t love each other when we make mistakes, or suffer.
And Evelyn learned how to accept the possibility of losing her daughter, whether it’s just her cutting contact, or wanting to destroy herself. We’re all in control of our decisions
Its two scenes that do it for me Rock Evelyn leaning to the cliff: Even tho its PHYSICALLY impossible for a rock to move on its own, somehow Rock Evelyn not only makes all rules null, but also takes that leap of faith to get a chance to be near Rock Joy The Hugging Planets: After that beautiful montage of parallel universes and objects colliding with each other and thw beautiful score, its just... silence.. nothing, just their sobs and a calm street at night, that silence of the night with their feelings expressed in sobs was simply tear jerking
this scene perfectly encapsulates how that if nothing really ever matters, that our lives are nothing but grains of time in a beach of endless other moments, then every little moment of your life has so much value because those moments are things that will never be brought back and are things that are unique to YOU. in other words, if nothing really matters, then everything matters MORE.
Joy's dramatic costume and performance suggest how a traditional Chinese mother subjectively and stereotypically sees her sexually 'non-normal' kid--abnormal, dangerous, threatening, ridiculous, and miserable; sadly, Joy, the daughter, is always the weirdest one in Evelyn's multiverses, because of the many cultural and generational gaps between them.
I will always cry during this scene. Every single time. I just picture Joy as my mom cuz this is something she would absolutely tell me and my sister. For the short amount of time we have in our lives, nothing is stronger than the love from another person who will never let go of us.
I sobbed at the end of this movie. She saved the universe, by reconciling with and choosing the husband and daughter she took for granted over everything else. That shit cracked my heart in two in the best way.
Because of this film, I understand that nihilism isn’t exactly negative. When you realise that nothing matters objectively, it gives you freedom to assign things that subjectively matters, and it’s a beautiful thing. Like, one thing could be invaluable for someone, but I can get to decide whether that thing is the most important thing in this world, and no one can tell me otherwise.

Exactly. It's not that hard but so many people just friggin miss it. Its the choice we all have to make
Nihilism vs absurdism. - The latter is a response to the former
Nihilism is for bitches after all
That rock falling scene is just genius

Can we just say how absolutely sweet Becky's face is after he says "girlfriend?" and she's like "What did he say?"
Literally one of my favourite lines in the whole movie 🥲🥲🥲
Becky really won me over at the end despite having such minimal screentime

Thank God someone noticed. I don't know why but that small moment teared me up because of the way she delivered that line.
@@syedibrahimbukhari7837 Absolutely, thank you

Very profound analysis ☺️

They don't have Joy...
Why in the world didn't this movie also win Best Original Score at the Oscars? The music throughout this film is so beautiful.

Couldn’t agree more
makes me cry like a small child
Stephanie Hsu totally deserved a nomination for this. I hope she has many more great roles ahead of her

Sorry for your loss

i feel the same way, lost my mom back in 2023. when i watched this for the first time i sobbed so hard thinking of her.
That mother daughter shit hit so hard. I am a daughter & a mother of a daughter. I felt both inadequacies. I loved this movie so much.
please just tell her you love her no matter what. My mom didn't tell me that enough. It led to a lot of worse things later in life.
She got to choose, and she chose to live
And Evelyn learned how to accept the possibility of losing her daughter, whether it’s just her cutting contact, or wanting to destroy herself.
We’re all in control of our decisions
I have never cried this much when watching a movie until I watched this.
Its two scenes that do it for me
Rock Evelyn leaning to the cliff: Even tho its PHYSICALLY impossible for a rock to move on its own, somehow Rock Evelyn not only makes all rules null, but also takes that leap of faith to get a chance to be near Rock Joy
The Hugging Planets: After that beautiful montage of parallel universes and objects colliding with each other and thw beautiful score, its just... silence.. nothing, just their sobs and a calm street at night, that silence of the night with their feelings expressed in sobs was simply tear jerking

did you copy and paste this from someone’s comment on another vid?
@@xchorrothey did
2:49
Even when crying, this moment still makes me laugh
Simply watching it all over again, I'm still crying again and again
3:00 Right from this part the scenes the music in the background everything all at once , always makes me feel like I'm in heaven .
3:29 so insanely beautiful
This scene brought me back to my mom. I’ll be forever grateful for this movie.
watched this movie on a plane and tried very hard not to cry. Afterwards I just wanted to call my mom and tell her how much I loved her.
This scene always makes me cry no matter what.
I will always cry during this scene. Every single time. I just picture Joy as my mom cuz this is something she would absolutely tell me and my sister.
For the short amount of time we have in our lives, nothing is stronger than the love from another person who will never let go of us.
This is the most meaningful, depressive, enlightening, beautiful, chaotic, multi-layered, heartbreaking and artistic film-making ever
“I WILL ALWAYS ALWAYS WANT TO BE HERE WITH YOU” who’s chopping onions right now
One of many reasons why Michelle yeoh won best actress ☺️
I still can't believe they got Randy Newman to sing a song about cooking and make it so impactful
I sobbed at the end of this movie. She saved the universe, by reconciling with and choosing the husband and daughter she took for granted over everything else. That shit cracked my heart in two in the best way.

she not only saves joy
but made everyone else happy
If the whole movie working towards this scene doesn't touch you, you have my sympathies
How cynical do you have to be to not like this movie?
Either nothing matters at all.. or everything does.. every little thing matters. Which life will you lead?
"We can do whatever we want... nothing matters"
The difference of tone with that sentence, with Joy was pessimistic, with Evelyn is optimistic
Noted!
Is this sound track available on spotify or wherever? i cant seem to find it
It’s! It’s by Son Lux, this song is called “Specks of time”
@@DavidGdelC Thank you. It’s a shame they removed the singing at 3:34.
Anyone knows The name of The track?
Specks of Time (by Son Lux)
Who can dictate Joy' s speech in 1:55 ?
Please
“…are a few specks of time where any of this actually makes any sense”
@@chick3nb0n3 thanks a lot♥
I love and hate this.
this move would be a 10/10 if it weren’t for that hot dog finger scene where i threw up
Womp womp lol
