This was one of my favorite films of the year, but I have to admit I needed to watch it a few times before I had a full handle on the story. If the film left you with a lot of questions, or you just wanted to get a brief refresher, you've made it to the right place. Everything Everywhere All At Once is a gorgeously dense film that absolutely rewards subsequent viewings. The Daniels nailed pretty much everything, but I especially loved how they managed to retain the sincerity of the film amidst all of the chaos.
The core trio of Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and Stephanie Hsu were outstanding, and of course Jamie Lee Curtis put in one of the most hilarious cameos of recent memory.
I'm expecting big things for this movie at the 2023 Academy Awards, and I think every ounce of it will be well-deserved.

Let me know what you thought about the film! Do you think it lives up to the hype? Eleven Oscar nominations!

Pretty good summarization in 5 minutes! I think EEAAO should have 14 nominations Including best production design, best cinematography and another best supporting actor nom for the 93 y.o James Hong who played Gong Gong!

Definitely agree on the cinematography nom. So many distinct looks for the various life paths & set pieces and yet still visually a really cohesive film.

I remember being blown away by the performance of the guy who played Waymond finding the performance to be incredible. Then I was blown away further funding out it was the same guy that played “short round” in “Temple of Doom”.

At first I was like “no way he can adequately summarize the film in 5 minutes” but wow, that’s probably the best 5 minute summary anyone could have given haha. Looking forward to your analysis video! I saw the film recently and have to say I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it, definitely one of my favorite films of all time. I’ve been itching for discussions and analysis of its themes and motifs, both the obvious and the easy to miss!

Thanks! It definitely took a minute to get it down to five minutes, and I had to leave out much of the alternate life path stuff that I loved so much about the film. Here's my favorite analysis I've watched about EEAAO so far because of its sociological focus rather than just on the filmmaking: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZ2JocV42ODHkmw.html&ab_channel=PopCultureDetective Give it a try if you haven't seen it yet!

Well, but that is the problem. The title said, this is an explanation, not a summary. And then also, it was full of a very narrow and subjective understanding of many scenes and not a distanced paraphrasation what you would need in a summary. Which would come before an actual analysis where you look at as many understandings and perceptions as you, and best a group of people, could possibly recognize.

Excellent explanation on which timelines Evelyn "wakes up" in.

@film_session Жыл бұрын

That was definitely something that took a second for me to fully understand -- especially because Part 1 and Part 2 both open with the same image of Evelyn sitting at the table in front of the receipts.

Towards the end when it cuts between scenes with evelyn in different universes like the raccacoonie one, where she goes hime to file taxes, where she "died" (but came bsck), and with jobu, which one is she TRULY in? like is she experiencing all of them at the same time, or is it just differrnt evelyns in each once? The one where she went homr to file her taxes really confused me because its set up the same as part 1. To summarize this, which universe does she "wake up" to?

Great video and lovely channel! I hope to see it grow more and more. I also make videos about film and I was wondering where you get your clips from the movies. I really struggle with finding high quality clips online and I noticed how great your video quality is. I'd really really appreciate the help.

Hi! I've found that buying the blu-ray and ripping the disk to your hard drive is the most reliable way of getting good quality clips. I use a program called Handbrake, but I'm sure there are others. You just have to have a blu ray drive, which I realize is becoming more and more rare these days. Hope that helps!

I don’t know how you did it. But indeed you did. And I’m still just as confused as the first day I saw it. The person had to be on mushrooms that created this. 😂😂😂

Or on meth…truly hideous movie!

@Jamie_Pritchard Жыл бұрын

That was an excellent synopsis for a truly excellent film. Hollywood can be a fickle creature but I really hope EEAAO brings home all the Oscars it was nominated for, even though there's some stiff competition this year.

I really wish I had seen this before I watched the film. I thought it was a complete waste of my time. It just went on and on and on. Trying to be clever when it would have been better if it had ended an hour before.

Can’t stand this movie. Practically gave me seizures watching it. Shut it off after 90 minutes into it. I’m sure people will comment that I didn’t understand the movie, blah, blah. Too much visually going on to even make sense…hot dog fingers? Butt plugs? Come on….🤷‍♀
