When I choose to see the good side of things, I’m not being naive. It is strategic and necessary. It’s how I learned to survive through everything.

I honestly loved Waymond's character and his subversion of traditional values of masculinity. How it's okay to be kind, gentle, and vulnerable

The reason why he won an Oscar was not because of his performance, but because he conveyed so many personalities over the different universes and still made us believe he was the same person He absolutely deserved that win

Man doesn't act for 20+ years than comes back with the performance of a lifetime.

I absolutely cried in the theater during this part. The acting, the direction and music are absolutely perfect. The movie is such a great reminder that we are small and insignificant..but we are not alone and we have each other during the hard and good times. Remember to be kind, everyone is struggling enough.

he was truly the mvp. his empathy saved the universe

"Be kind especially if you don't know what's going on."

"in this terrifying world you continuously have the power to offer someone else a little relief . why would you withhold that. do you remember what a little relief feels like? it feels like a lot"

"The struggle itself ... is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy". Camus

This movie changed my life. I used to be a very angry person because of what I have been and gone through in life. I always thought that since life is really a bitch, you survive by being equally cruel. I used to think that my anger and hate gives me motivation and for a while it really does. But it hurts me also as much as it does the other person. So I embarked on a journey to learn to tame my anger and respond with kindess. When people are unkind to you, you have to tell yourself that you do not want to be as hateful as they are.

This scene made me feel so much and made my view of the world feel heard. So many people are angry and mad at each other, and I try to understand with compassion. And no one wants to do that. But that doesn't mean we stop. We keep going and encourage the same in others, to try to make a difference, even if it's small it's still change

Ke Huy Quan really knocked it out of the park with this movie, and you can really see his range when they put his multiverse versions alongside each other.

"When I choose to see the good side of things, I'm not being naive. It is strategic and necessary." When I watched this movie with my girlfriend, this was the line that broke me, man. It felt like all the sadness I'd been through living with a pessimistic mother that constantly seemed to drain my own hope when it came to my struggles with mental health, it felt like that struggle was valid all along. Waymond as a character genuinely made me feel validated for all the ways I didn't fit Asian masculinity.

I love this message so much! Most people always assume that optimism is just naivety, in reality, kindness can be the hardest thing a person can do in the face of struggle. And the people who decide to follow through with it are often the ones who are needed the most!

Sincere, loving, and kind films are just the absolute best aren't they?

Everyone references the 'I'd have loved doing laundry with you' line. THIS, however, was what touched me.

Knowing Ke’s story made this scene more heart breaking. He dreamt of this. And for decades was denied. He gave us something special.

True kindness and being gentle is the hardest thing to be in this world but so incredibly important. This scene reminds us why.

This scene. I’m an ecologist and I volunteer a lot and I’m chronically ill and going to die younger than I should, I’m deeply passionate and militant about the things and people I care for. But I’m also very gentle and calm otherwise, I love deeply and I protect my people’s peace by being kind and not adding to the struggles of the world.

I watched this movie on an airplane and had to pause at this point because I was crying too hard to see the screen. Absolutely incredible film

In the face of cruelty, hatred, misery, pain, and a universe that doesn’t care what happens to us, it’s easy to fall into a trap of thinking pessimistic nihilism is the way to go, that it’s the “mature”, “intelligent”, and “realistic” option cause that’s what the world has trained you think is reality. But that mindset really gets you nowhere, besides treating people with hope and optimism as stupid and naive children. The truth is, people get stuck on that level of realization and stay there, taking pride in their “intelligence” as a way to cope with a deep-seated misery and pain. When in reality, when you take time to recognize acts of kindness, love, and empathy, when you realize you have only focused on the bad in life, and when you see that putting goodness into the world, even when the bad seems overwhelming and will repeatedly beat you down, you can shine a light in the darkness that, even if dim, will warm yourself and those around you and can inspire them to shine their own lights. That, is real maturity in my book. You can choose to spend the hat time you have before oblivion sulking in the darkness, or unleashing goodness.

One voice depicted as calm, measured, and understanding, the other juxtaposed as frantic, confused, and panicked. All within the same character, Everything Everywhere All at Once. Brilliant scene.

One of the best scenes ever. The different Waymond's...Ke's acting is SO good here it hits ALL the feels. This scene alone is worthy of an Oscar. I sure hope A24 is putting this movie out there. I would actually like to see a theatrical re-release for Oscar season.

I teared up during this scene, its beautiful

This is the kind of thinking that got me through the worst parts of my life. I always felt stupid, and naive for thinking too positively and it made me feel lesser than anyone else. I don’t think I’ve ever cried as much as when I heard these lines. I felt validated, and that I was doing the right thing, and it felt like all the effort up to this point wasn’t for nothing. I know my purpose in this world. There’s so much shit going on everywhere around us, and I’d rather spread kindness and show people that it’s not all bad. I’m very lonely on this journey, but I’ll die alone if I have to. I never want to change

AND THEN SHE STARTS FIGHTING BY BEING ACTUALLY NICE AND HELPING PEOPLE BUT ITS STILL KUNG FU AND ACTION GID THIS MOVIE IS FUCKING GENIUS ITS BRILLIANT WE ARE NOT WORTHY WE ARE NOT WORTHY

A lot of times when I watch movies I don't think of characters representing me, because they're usually just that; characters. But this is the first time I cried because someone else was able to express how I feel in life when it comes to overcoming hard times and being kind to one another.

My favorite scene from this masterpiece of a movie. Thank you for uploading.

Best supporting actor 🙏🏆🏆

This broke through all of my armor, and revealed my soul to me for the very first time. You have one too. It's there, trust me. Just stop and look.

1:14 got me good. Almost instant tears the moment he says "this feels like its all my fault." Hit me like a freight train.

Every time i see this part, i cry, doesn't matter what, i cry. DEFINIETLY this is my favorite movie, and definitely i'll tatoo this

He deserves his Oscar

the first time i saw this there was so much to take in. the second time this scene made me cry hard. after the pandemic and all the hate in the world mixed in that thought of kindness being a strategy moved me. if ke huy quan doesn’t get an oscar nomination for this it will be the greatest snub since andrew garfield in the social network

As an emotionally sensitive person who's often been perceived as "soft" or "naive" or "innocent", this scene helped me realize that's actually been my strength. I don't do it as a capitulation or fallback. I do it with purpose and awareness and intention. This is how I fight.

I absolutely bawled through most of the second half of this movie. It resonates with me on SO many DEEP levels. "...I know you see yourself as a fighter. Well, I see myself as one, too. This is how I fight..."

The thing i love the most is all of us in the comments who deeply felt this scene. I love you all.❤️♥️💜

This literally changed my life

One of the many fantastic parts of this film!

This is one of the most Beautiful scenes in cinematic history and one of most intense performances in a movie, so genuine and so unique

I saw this again, after seeing it in theaters, the day before the Oscars and I’m fucking glad Ke Huy Quan won that Oscar and I’m so happy to see him be a megastar now with all his selfies he’s taken with people like Sir Patrick Stewart or Andrew Garfield, I hope his phone doesn’t stop ringing and wish him a bright and amazing career after learning he waited for a job for 20 years.

Tears.. I can fight, I can be ugly and angry but this is how I fight.

This is my favorite scene in any film ever

Go back in time and tell myself that the Short Round kid would be my favorite best boy and make me laugh or cry in every one of his scenes.

Since 06’ The Goonies always has been my shit. ‘Data’s monologue had me teard up in theatres, hits right in my core. I’ve been trying to make my 6 year relationship with my highschool sweetheart work out for a while. We love & Trust each other, man life gets confusing and lonely out there as a 23 year old man or even as a child. Moral is; It’s okay to feel confused, unsure and unaware of how to move forward tomorrow. It’s alright. let love be your beacon of light and never give up, 🙏✨

This spoke to me on so many levels! Some of us choose to be Waymond 😊

That scene won him the oscar

My favorite scene from this movie

This movie spoke about my fight. I still cant get over how amazing this film is. we are all perfect blossoms

When Waymond says 'Somehow, this feels like it's all my fault,' you can see Evelynn, even in her fugued-out state, take a half-step towards him as though to try and protect him. She always knew the answer.

I love that speech.🙂

Deserved Golden Globe winner!!

Congrats to Ke Huy Quan on his Golden Globe and Oscar wins!

he's literally me fr

This scene really broke me because all I do is fight with kindness and reasoning for other peoples motives and all the time my own father or siblings would say I just am a pushover but we just all are fighters In our own way 🥹

In watching this scene a second time, I noticed there is a -very- subtle shift in her hand the second time they show her fist. It's a blink and you miss it kind of detail.

We have to be kind

All of us need a Waymond

I think even Spielberg will give back his Oscar if he wins Best Director over these dudes.

Goals. This world is enough of a tempest as it is.

that universe screams wong kar wai....i am not okay

This is Samwise Gamgee without three movies. Be kind, because you don't know what's going on. Be kind!

cool movie

This had me quietly sobbing in my seat.... I feel this every day in every way. This is exactly how I operate, and I had never heard or seen this attitude so clearly spoken about or represented. Oh wow... Just wow. I'm so glad I saw this movie

Based af

What’s the song in the background???

just a bad and boring movie, fight club won.

Within the first 5 mins of this movie, when Waymond was shown dancing with the old man in the laundromat, I hoped to God Evelyn would find her way back to this man 😭🩷
