Do you think that this was the best film of 2022?? We hope you enjoy the video!
What film is truly best? It's a crap shoot though Tár was heavily favored. But Top Gun Maverick? Not even in the same category.
Both of the A24 movies from 2022 are my favourite movies in recent memory, tho Aftersun (the other A24 movie from 2022) is my personal favourite, with this one being my second fav. I highly recommend you both to watch Aftersun as well, it's a beautifully profound movie with a lot of nuances and subtlety that truly hit me hard
Yes it is
It's the best film of the past forty years.
I would go as far as to say, this is at least one of the best movies of the last decade. All the awards are totally deserved. Telling essentially a family drama (generation conflict, midlife crisis, depression) in such a creative way is stunning. Tons of pop culture references, funny, silly, action packed, and at the same time deep and heart-warming. This wild mix could have gone completely wrong, but they managed to make it work beautifully.
My perfect example is, when you manage to make a sentence about laundry a taxes becomes one of the most romantic lines in cinema history, that is masterclass screenwriting.
And as always, great reaction you two.
Man, that "laundry and taxes" line is pure gold. That's a genuine classic.
A gentle correction: Waymond’s way is not being “fun” or “harmless.” Actually, Waymond's way is courageously choosing to be kind, hopeful, and living when things are confusing, scary, or disappointing during times many people find it’s easier to be angry, selfish and violent. In other words, Waymond is truly heroic and badass
Most versions of Waymond that we see are examples of very positive expressions of masculinity, while the one version of him that keeps causing problems, escalating situations, and who wanted to abandon Evelyn until she showed her "worth" called himself Alpha Waymond.
@@adderous I see your reference to Alpha male but that's not the case in this movie. Alpha Waymond means he was the original Waymond that contacted other universes. The problems actually were from Alpha Evelyn because she pushed her daughter to limit if you think about it. Alpha Waymond was just trying to do his best to save multiverse and died heroically. It's also an expression of masculinity. Please stop spreading 'toxic masculinity' propaganda because that's not the theme of this movie, and be kind
"abandon elevlyn" he was looking for OG evelyn because she was the daughters real target... he can't protect every universes evelyn...@@adderous
@@FF-bj4nqHi, there's a video called "everyone everywhere needs Waymond (and Ke Huy Quan)" where a guy talks about how, actually, the movie touch those themes. The "alpha" name is not a coincidence :D I invite you to see that video, it's very interesting
@@FF-bj4nq Yes, that's how media analysis works. You see something in a movie that can be recontextualized based on your interpretation of the media. Their alpha interpretation is valid, as is yours.
Toxic masculinity isn't propaganda. It isn't even something women came up with. It came from a 1980s men's movement.
Learn about the things you disagree with, and get out of your echo chamber more often. Or you'll just keep getting disappointed when you see most people and most of reality doesn't agree with you.
That "I would have done laundry" line made everyone cry like a baby I guess
Never thought a rock with googly eyes 👀 could make me cry.
This movie deserves every award it got, particularly Michelle and Ke. It made my heart swell not only to see Ke Huy Quan return to acting but to crush it and be recognized for it. The last movie I saw him in before EEAAO was Encino Man (briefly), with Brendan Fraser (who also is finally getting his recognition).
Absolutely! I was laughing through my tears during the rock scene. Laughing because it was so improbable, and crying because it was so beautiful. And while all that was happening I was amazed that the same scene could have me feeling such wildly different things simultaneously.
Indiana Jones also
EEAAO is officially the MOST-AWARDED film of all time (158 recognitions and counting), outranking TLotR: Return of the King, which won 101 awards, twenty years ago.
Naming the daughter Joy was pure genius!
Evelyn had to literally AND figuratively search the multi-verse for Joy, only to discover her Joy was already in her universe!❤👏👏👏😪😅😃
The whole movie, every single image and word, Is genius
@@raffaelecafiero3608 true!
What can I say about Everything Everywhere All At Once that hasn't already been said? If there is such a thing as a perfect movie, this one takes the cake in my book. So. Many. Emotions. A beautiful, hilarious work of art. Every scene can be dissected and analyzed to grasp the depth of detail. EEAAO deserved every single award it got and more. Everyone who contributed to this film's production deserves accolades. This movie gets better every time I see it. I'll never get tired of watching people experience this film for the first time. This is for sure my time machine movie, I'd kill for the chance to watch it again blindly.
I completely agree with everything you said about it.
@@torontomame i too😢😢😢
**The laundry and taxes scene**
Everyone: 😭
Such a great scene!
entire theatre went through all emotions. love this movie
Definitely worth watching over and over. Took me a few views to realize how Evelyn was already in touch with her other versions. The hobbies that they mentioned her having during the audit was actually another version of her that she tapped into throughout the movie. So great.
I saw this movie in the theatre 5 times. The theatre experience was amazing. So much laughing and sobbing everywhere…
Existentially rich and melancholic.
It is the sort of movie which is better in a cinema because the audience is forced to watch it. I've noticed at home a lot of people purposefully get distracted by other things and don't suffer the full emotional response to this movie. It really is designed to use absurdism intentionally break the audience and allow them to appreciate the full reality that they present and the final message - that when nothing matters, everything you do matters.
@@reverance_pavane yes!!!! Yesss!!! That's the aim of the absurdism!! Why people do not understand It??? I discussed eagerly with alot of people saying dildos were disgusting, hot dog fingers were ridiculous and not useful, that all was too "confusing". Finally someone Who gets the point. And, this Is the fundament, the damn fundament of comedy and in general of movies. Charlie Chaplin teached us decades ago. Too many people include a bunch of directors and authors forget this. This Is cinema, not literature. First of all you must entertain!!!!!
I absolutely LOVE animals and detest violence against them... But man, I let out the ugliest guffaw when Evelyn cut the leash off that dog and it fucking FLEW into the office, ricocheting off of a cubicle wall lol
Same here! My best friend and I are huge animal lovers, and that scene had us laughing so hard.
@@torontomame because its like a cartoon. Nobody gest really hurt
Same, that dog hit that cubicle so hard, I had to let out an unintentional bark of laughter when I saw it
The laundry and taxes scene always gets me 😭❤
Nominated for 11 Oscars including Best Picture but won 7:
Best Picture
Best Director
Best Film Editing
Best Original Screenplay
Best Actress Michelle Yeoh
Best Supporting Actor Ke Huy Quan
Best Supporting Actress, Jamie Lee Curtis.
I was saddened that Stephanie Tsu and Jamie Lee Curtis were competing against each other in one category. Both did wonderful work and there was a lot of controversy caused by this. On the other hand the SAG Awards particularly recognised the ensemble nature of the work.
My daughter took me to see this movie. Please consider watching with your parents - so healing and much more effective than therapy!!
This is quite possibly a perfect film. I've rewatched it a dozen times now, and I'm STILL finding new things to consider or think about, which has never happened before. This movie fundamentally changed me as a person. Your reaction was so good, thank you for letting me live vicariously through you to experience this film again.
Not a perfect movie. Just fantastic. PERFECT impact.
It Is. I too am thinking about It and rewatching It and comparing with other great movies like Forrest Gump or La Strada . These movies have so much in common, still being different. Waimond reminds me so much of Gelsomina and Forrest. This movie Is perfect. No flaws anywere.
so glad y’all reacted to this😭 i was really weirded out by the movie at first and was confused why people were speaking so highly of it but once i finished it i LOVED it it’s an amazing movie
A director that you guys have GOT to check out: Wong Kar Wai. A lot of the lighting and visual language used in the "actor Evelyn & Waymond" scenes was inspired by his films (In the Mood for Love, mostly). Two movies to DEF watch from him: Chungking Express (1994) (an energetic rom-com that explores heartbreak & new love. The vibes are immaculate lol. Those sloppy slow-motion yet regular speed shots are the result of a technique called "Step-Printing" and this movie uses it liberally), and In the Mood for Love (2000) (literally one of the best movies of all time. Looks ABSOLUTELY beautiful. Tony Leung & Maggie Cheung give all-timer performances. A slow burn, introspective romance drama movie)
Check these movies out! Kar-Wai is one of the most influential directors in the last 20-30 years.
To add to this is that Ke Huy Quan worked for Wong Kar Wai in Hong Kong ( introduced by Corey Yuen) and still keeps in touch with him. (Also how he meet his wife)
@@stephenkywong that's right! I remember seeing that ITMFL was one of the movies KHQ had in his credits on his IMDb page. That was really cool to see
One of my favourite cameos in this movie was that the bureaucrat who was really into BDSM was director Daniel Scheinert - who not only wrote the part, but then hired Michelle Yeoh to slap him on the bottom. [Admittedly I would too.] On the other hand Daniel Kwan's cameo was simply as the Jobu minion who was torn apart by the bagel.
I'm not sure but I think it's Daniel Kwan on the hot dog advert as well.
Great!! Its true, i didnt notice It.
I don't watch a whole lot of movies, but I absolutely loved this movie. It has so much heart whilst also tackling something that so many familial relationships struggle with, especially when it comes to non-western families, and it depicted that beautifully. I immensely enjoyed watching you two react to this, and cried along with you guys
I agree. The reactors made comments about the family falling apart but I think the point was to demonstrate how children on immigrants struggle with their parents. Parents not from the west love differently and it’s a different vibe.
If someone asks me what this movie is about I'd say, "It's a story of girl, who cried a river and drowned the whole world." And also multiverse, family, and acceptance. Specifically acceptance over love.
Raccacoonie spin-off when??
Not soon enough 😂
I'm generally against the whole "spin-off" routine these days... but if I ever desperately wanted one, it's 100% Raccacoonie.
It helps some people to understand the movie that originally (throughout the shooting of the movie even, and only taken out in editing) that Evelyn (and presumably Joy) have undiagnosed ADHD in the base "real" world. This wasn't intended to invalidate the Multiverse explanation for things, but only to provide an alternate interpretation. It was taken out, the directors said, because they didn't want to pigeonhole one manifestation of Attention Deficit symptoms. I do think they may have also realized they wanted to lean into the "reality" of the Multiverse a bit more, because some people feel cheated if they think something potentially invalidates what they just saw.
Ultimately, the film is about the idea of Nihilism, and how "nothing matters" can be flipped on it's head to go from the obvious (negative) explanation, to an alternate one where it simply means you're free to make your own rules and not stress over the weight of your failures. The Googly Eyes exemplify this. The bagel is a black hole with an empty center that eats and destroys everything. It's a glass half empty view of the world, at best. But Waymond is glass half full. His symbol, the Googly Eyes, are the inverse of the bagel. It's filled in where the bagel is empty. Evelyn, and Joy, accepting this is the action of the plot, the destination.
What is gross necklaces? Is probably my favorite line in this movie 😂
I love how, in these reaction videos for this film, when Evelyn punches Diedre the first time, everyone is so shocked, but that's nothing compared to what follows.
Great reaction! I chortled when you mentioned The Goonies early on, because Ke Huy Quan, who played Waymond, was Data in The Goonies (and Short Round in Indiana Jones) when he was a kid! He's such a superb actor, isn't he?
It's natural to feel that a movie this complex must have had a huge budget and a long shooting schedule. In fact, believe it or not, they shot it for under $15 million (with, apparently, another $10 million for postproduction, publicity, etc.) and in 38 days. They had to shut down a day or two early because COVID restrictions began just then in early 2020. The two-year delay until release may actually have worked in their favor, as they were able to really take pains with the intricate editing and test screenings (and those 2 days of pickup shots) that helped them arrive at such a polished product. I haven't been this enthusiastic about a new movie in a very long time.
The lead actress is Michelle Yeoh. See "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon".
This is my first time visiting your channel. It won't be the last. You seem to really care about each other, I hope you get to live a long happy life together!
One of my friend was not used to watching subtitles in theaters. Shang chi was his first, and he wasn’t so sure what he feels about it. I took him to watch this, and now he don’t mind it. Really love seeing English movies with characters speaking in their native tongue.
Yes, you really need to watch a second or third time. I picked up way more the second time I saw the movie. There are so many Easter eggs throughout the movie. It's an incredible movie.
Best of 2022, best of 2020's. Possibly best of 2000's so far?
On every rewatch I'm convinced more and more that Stephanie Hsu was robbed.
I 100% agree this is among the best films of the 21st Century so far. And yes, Stephanie Hsu could have taken the Academy Award for supporting actress. And I am convinced she will be again nominated for a future role. But she was up against a lot of other pretty legitimate legacy actors. I was actually surprised that Jamie Lee Curtis won, but I am so very happy that she did. Hsu has an entire lifetime ahead of her. I think she will win many awards.
@@tescherman3048 In Dan Marino's second season (1984) he went to the Super Bowl. He lost to GOAT QB Joe Montana 38--16. He never went to another Super Bowl ever again.
You can't vote on career, you have to vote on merit. Hsu could never make another film, there's no way of knowing.
@@grife3000 Okaaaay. :)
This is my favorite film ever!
I’ve never seen more emotion from reactors than this movie, I love it! s a dad of young daughters that are my life , I feel this and am SO grateful to be a dad and dad of such amazing angels!
Loved watching your reaction, truly love this film. The film is emotional whiplash, crying and laughing split seconds apart.
Best supporting actress should have been a tie and awarded to both of them. Joy Joy Chewbacca definitely deserved that Oscar, too.
It is definitely based on Daniel Kwan's experience as the child of immigrant parents. Every Asian (from India to Japan) I know who saw this nodded sagely when Evelyn said "you are getting fat," because this tends to be how many immigrant parents actually say "I love you and care for you" (by criticism). On the other hand those reactors without experience in these matters were quite taken aback by this statement.
I loved your reaction! :)
It was so nice to see your reaction to the emotional scene (with laundry and taxes) was to reaffirm your relationship with each other. Great reaction!
The number of times I've seen abridged versions of this movie in reaction videos, and I still cry. Thank you for cutting some bits out of the "kindness" speech, so that I only *sort of* cried then this time 😅
You said you like the idea of "Nothing matters is actually a good thing." You should really look into the philosophical belief system of existentialism of which that is a core tenet. Works by Kierkegaard, Sartre and of course Nietzsche could help give you a better understanding of the philosophy. As an existentialist, this movie is easily the best representation of the belief system I have seen in film and I have been so thrilled by the general reception of it.
I think I take something different out of this movie every time I watch it (or see somebody else watch it). At this moment, what I'm feeling is that the movie is about paying attention to what's around us and understanding, both yourself and those around you. The ability to experience all of the alternate realities created by each minute decision you make _can_ lead you to feel like nothing matters, since no matter what *you* decide another you will do the opposite and the end results remain the same. Or, you can use that ability to truly comprehend what it is that makes you the happiest, to understand what those around you truly want, and to do what you can to help *everybody* achieve their best possible realities.
Essentially, we're all "stuck" here regardless, wherever "here" ends up being. Might as well enjoy it as much as possible, and as often as possible.
I cried with you. Great reacton...
Took me several viewings to integrate everything, even watching this reaction I caught some more. Just the most creative and beautiful film I've seen in a very long time.
Such a wonderful movie
I liked the movie on my first watch through but the silliness of it really threw me off. But after re-watching it, I really was able to flow with it and it's one of my fav movies of all time now
Good reaction! I love movie
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was a fantastic reaction! I liked this movie, I wasn't so into all the kung fu fighting stuff, that's never been my thing, but I LOVE the family dynamic, the reality of the multi-language household (Eric sharing his experiences growing up in a Spanglish household made this an extra-special reaction, at least for me) and I love the mind-blowing multi-verse stuff. And also getting the chance to see actors you usually only see in supporting roles, often tiny ones, get to have some real material to chew on! Ultimately acting is the best "special effect", as far as I'm concerned! And this movie has some great acting. Best film of 2022? I haven't seen that many, but I can't imagine a more special, one-of-a-kind movie, certainly not more than the titles I see that were nominated with it. (The Oscars totally jumped the shark when, just a few years ago, they upped the Best Picture category from five nominees to ten. Five is a contest, ten is too much. They don't make ten Oscar-worthy movies a year! Totally waters down what it means to be nominated (and to win). I think of all the super classics that never were even considered for nomination, movies that would wipe the floor with cookie cutter, formula stuff that were most of the other nominees, it's totally embarrassing to our times in the context of the history of movies, lol.
You would feel the movie even more relatable if you grew up in an Asian family like Joy and myself. Most Asian parents could be seen as highly critical and harsh toward their children just like Evelyn's father and Evelyn herself. When she said: 'You are getting fat', it was out of love and care for her daughter, but this is something that is not acceptable for us living on the other side of the world. I really wish my mother and sister could watch this movie together and see themselves in Evelyn and Joy characters.
Anyway, this movie is just amazing. In this era of over-the-top Marvel movies, remakes, and sequels, it's nice to see some fresh ideas. The actors are just amazing too. As an 80s kid, I'm so glad to see those actors finally got the recognition they deserved. And lastly, that 'laundry and taxes' scene? it must be the most romantic line in a movie by far.
It's also relatable for us South Americans. I was born there but grew up here. So the parents and older generations speak like that to the "kids", and the criticism comes from a place of caring. But to those of us who grew up here, it feels harsh and can hurt when we hear it. One of the things that happen in an immigrant family.
@@torontomame It's relatable to anyone of any background who has unrealistic expectations put on them from their family, or anyone whose felt dissatisfied with the way their life has turned out, these are universal human experiences which is why this movie was such a big hit with people from all walks of life.
Great movie on so many levels, worthy of the title. You did a fine reaction !
sarah made me cry cry
In all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other. Carl Sagan
Hmmm I don't know about that, I kind of get a buzz out of the idea of feeling utterly alone in the universe
I you look at interviews with the directors and screen writers, they talk about how it was inspired by the constant barrage we have of news, notifications, social media, media, etc. It is quite literally everywhere all at once for us. One of the directors said he wanted the cinematography to reflect how he feels like as someone with ADHD. They also wanted to address compassion fatigue; how we have to care about so much going on at once it's hard to remember what really is important to pay attention to, and the places we can actually make a difference.
That on top of all the commentary on the immigration experience, the trauma we pass through generations (ie, father to Evelyn to Joy,) and nihilism and depression. It's a A LOT (dare I say Everything?) to cover, and they managed to do so with moments that are light and comedic, breaking the tension when it gets to be too much.
This topped Eternal Sunshine Of the Spotless Mind, my previous favorite movie going on almost 20 years.
Thank you!!
I almost stopped watching this about halfway through because it seemed like a bizarre, confusing, and goofy kung fu mess, but it really comes together and ended up being such a beautiful movie. The line, 'In another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you,' really hit hard. I can admit it made me cry too.
'just doing laundry and taxes with you...' gets almost everyone. Stoic?
for me ; not a movie it's an experience
Only 3 movies in the history have won 3 acting Oscar awards and the last one before EEAAO goes back to over 45 years ago
Is the full length reaction on Patreon? 🥰
40:25 this whole sequence is inspired by Wong Kar Wai's In the the Mood for Love...which the two of you should watch!!!!
how do you edit youer reactions and how do i know how much to remove from my recording
Good reaction, guys. Guy/girl. Whatever. First time seeing you'z'all.
Waymond.. is Short-Round from Indiana Jones
and the Temple of Doom and the gizmo kid from
The Goonies.. 😎👍🏽
about time
How do people predict who jobu tupaki is before they even see or hear anything from her? Is there some hint in a previous scene I don't remember?
best ORIGINAL movie 2022 hands down
Took me until last week to finally see this. I had little interest. Don't really know why. It is amazing. Among my favorite movies ever. Tears and laughs. I mean even rocks got me crying! And I absolutely went out and got an everything bagel with cream cheese afterwards.
Best movie!
My first time watching a reaction/the movie and not SOBBING 564 times. (I watched it over 20 times)
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊

He might be referring to Alpha Waymond when he blamed himself.
He is a soloist who has already been in the music industry for 13 years, a singer, producer, he knows how to play the guitar, a lyricist, he produced and wrote his entire album while traveling to various places, the song has good lyrics and the rhythm is great, having rock vibes with mix. Give him a chance to react with the English subtitles on the music video please.
Please react Agust D 'AMYGDALA' Official MV
In some universes Michelle Yeoh made a reaction video to your movie
40:40 I hate this moment because it reminds me of my life.
In the hotdog universe Evelyn was gay just like her daughter. But people always miss that because they are too busy focusing on the hotdog fingers.
Please react to train to busan 2016
beautiful ❤️ 🌭
He was the child actor from the Goonies fyi
It's a women's world, between dream, marriage and family generation before and next, that each decision or action reflects the outcome. The world can be better if we come out with a universe that fits the condition and environment that we live in all at once. Happy family and happy marriage while the dream is happy marriage and happy family. 😎♥️👍
I’m writing this story where the protagonist is a man but I’m having a hard find writing it because a woman is always a better subject matter now than men like us. And I don’t mean to put down us men but imagine if Jackie Chan was the lead- it may not be as effective . Are there emotional stories about men these days as lead not as supporting character?
@@denniszenanywhere men is to save the world like marvel, save the family during war, help the family when elderly or family members kidnapped that involve action or revenge like Jacky chan missing daughter or being murdered in the movie either politically or influential figure.
@@denniszenanywhere If u wanna write about men, not so sure what environment that u want to involve.
For example, in China mostly family choose son rather than daughter. A parent's daughter which might be 5 to 7 yo is being kidnapped while pregnant baby. That baby boy has grown up and found out he has a missing sister as the parent does not care so.much about missing daughter. That boy decide to involve a lot of channel to find the missing sister, police station or whatever method which also involve in a gangster network. You could plot in whatever story inside.
At the end he found his sister that gone through dramatic being abused or something.
Men is seen more towards task that very hard to be done by women unless women know kung fu.
If u gonna write family stuff on male character, let it be tough and hardship. That the hardship makes everyone aware family members does matter as a family. 👍
@@stevenchan7537 but that’s a movie movie that’s not a representation of what really happens in a man’s life. I mean getting vulnerable.
@@denniszenanywhere do u mean how man can become more applicable or relevant in today's world?
"Sorry, it is a girl" is a Chinese specific reference. When the one child policy was in effect, this was a common feeling. With your only child being a girl, the family name would end. To a misogynistic society, this is a bad thing.
Well, used to be a thing in the western countries as well. We could see it in monarchies, where a male heir always was above even an older female heir. And we still see it with last names, even today it is quite common for the kids to take the dads last name, or at least as the main last name.
Watching Sarah cry is heartbreaking. I don't like it. 😥
Hey guys i hope you're going to react to The Raid 2, in my opinion it's even better than the first one. I'm looking forward to it!
Recommendation - if you like this patch of weirdness, I suggest JOHN DIES AT THE END.
It had a small portion of potential but it turned into a mother daughter chick flick
