I can never sit through this scene without crying. Finding strength in kindness and empathy has never been so perfectly shown as it is here. "Please...be kind." I love that line so much.

This movie felt like someone reached down into the core of me, held the hand of the angry, suicidal teenager I used to be, and validated her choice to let go of her pain and depression and try to just be kind. If you choose to see the world through kinder eyes and meet it with compassion, especially when you're scared and feel like nothing matters, you'll find that there's so much more to this world than you first thought, and so much to live for, even if those somethings are the little fleeting moments of clarity and joy in an otherwise chaotic existence. Waymond's the hero we all need at some point in our lives, but rarely feel like we deserve.

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 😭🩷

cool movie

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

Man delivers a mean monologue despite staring down a half naked bald martial artist power stancing with a buttplug sticking out between his booty cheeks.

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.

just a bad and boring movie, fight club won.

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.

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.

This movie spoke about my fight. I still cant get over how amazing this film is. we are all perfect blossoms <3

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.

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.

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

Based af

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.

All of us need a Waymond

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

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..."

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

My favorite scene from this movie

One of the many fantastic parts of this film!

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

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.

Good review, keep going

this fire

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.

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

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

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

We have to be kind

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

I love that speech.🙂

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.

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

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

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

That scene won him the oscar

He deserves his Oscar

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

"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"

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.

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

"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.

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

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

This is my favorite scene in any film ever

Deserved Golden Globe winner!!

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