Now that EEAAO has won a bunch of oscars some people are tryna say its overrated and not actually that good and I'd just like to say that it is in fact that fucking good

Nothing feels better than looking up “Why do people like [insert movie name]?” Makes me feel like a proper hater.

the thing about code or language switching is that its almost always context-based and purposeful. strip it of its context and it becomes frivolous and meaningless.

the reason “hola mi nombre es juan. oh my god I didn’t realize I was speaking spanish.” is ridiculous is because it’s exceedingly rare anyones going to accidentally switch languages. in everything everywhere all at once, they speak chinglish to each other. they never accidentally speak mandarin to deirdre in the IRS office for example because that would be ridiculous.

eeaao is such a splendid depiction of this. especially due to the varying levels of mastery across their generations. its clear joy understands mandarin but doesn’t speak it (except when jobu is trying to be dramatic). she doesn’t have enough grip of cantonese to tell gong gong that ruby is her girlfriend but she understands enough to know evelyn doesn’t say it. you have to understand that Both of these things can be true for this scene to hit so hard. in particular, i love the back and forth between waymond and evelyn. she fully switches to english when speaking to alpha-waymond. but switches back and forth with her waymond in a way that feels so reflective of speaking languages that represent home in different ways. with an ease you can only grow into with someone having grown up in both environments.

no OP you see eeooa employs the concept of a multiverse, which is something invented by marvel and thus eeooa is the same as an mcu movie /s

alot of film discourse comes down to the idea that "smart movies" and "movies that are enjoyable to watch" are somehow mutually exclusive,.

[eyesoforpheus]

thinking about eeaao’s constant use of hands. the dancing with hands. hands for comedy. hands for fighting and most importantly, hands for reaching out, clinging to people. how when we lose the ability to properly use our hands, we turn to alternative methods to reach. to touch. to cling. even in universes of failure, even in worlds with hot dog fingers, we see how hands are used as a vessel for touch and connection and compassion.

They finally released Everything Everywhere all at once in Argentina and it's soooo good, it's sooooooooo good, it's SO GOOD

[cornucopiazza]

just watched everything everywhere all at once and I think what really got me, what had me sobbing so hard I could barely breath, was how the whole movie felt like watching an argument with my mom in abstract. the buildup of anxiety and the push and the pull and the trying so hard to understand each other through an life experience, and language barrier and getting it wrong again and again but still trying until the arguments ends and we are left not with anymore understanding about the thing that started the argument but with the understanding that beneath everything there is still love
