- Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022)
“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.”
Angel watches Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022), for the first time, sinks into the cracks of the couch, and has her emotions wrecked with relatable love. Starring Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, Stephanie Hsu, Jamie Lee Curtis and James Hong, created by Daniel and Daniel and A24, this multiverse movie is the most out there, yet most realistic you might ever watch.
What are YOUR favorite scenes in the movie??? Who is your favorite character??

LINK TO FULL LAUNDRY AND TAXES SCENE REACTION : czcams.com/video/pPnl4maACMk/video.html (since I had to edit that scene down more than I wanted on this reaction..and it is one of my favorites in the movie so I wanted you all to be able to see more of it, if you wanted...enjoy)! :)
I grew up watching the Indiana Jones movies, so I was pretty partial to Waymond from the start because of his voice. When he also turned out to be so positive, and for the best reasons, he truly became my favorite character. Who is YOUR favorite character in the movie??? Let me know! Also, do you have a favorite scene or scenes like I did?
You're the first person I see clocking that Waymond is Shortround without looking it up. I'm liking your taste in movies more and more the more we get to know you. You're on my "would grab a beer and talk movies with if I ever met them" list now, sorry.
@@LordBaktor Nice. That's a list I'm happy to be on. I appreciate it!
@@LordBaktor Also, wow! I can't believe I'm the first. It's a sign I've seen Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom too much...or just the right amount. Lol
@@AngelGroves There is no "too much" OG Indy trilogy.
Great reaction!! I’m so glad it won best picture at the Oscars!!
My "favorite movie" hadn't changed for a few decades until I saw this movie. It's perfect.
It's of the most creative and well executed movies I've ever seen. 😍
Wait, what was it before this
Yes, great question! I should have asked. What was your "favorite movie" that hadn't changed before you saw this? :)
Same here. The old one was Amadeus (still a great movie worthy of everyone seeing this to watch for themselves).
Same! My favorite movie up until EEAAO was True Romance.
I bawl the whole last half hour of this movie, every time. Also the VFX were done by 5 PEOPLE WORKING REMOTELY DURING THE PANDEMIC! Instantly became one of my favorite things I've ever watched.
They did say their team was "sometimes 7" which I have to assume was the Daniels jumping in.
And if you freeze frame when the movie cycles through all the Evelyn’s, you can see them.
That is so awesome! They did INCREDIBLE work. WOW. Also, it's good to know I'm not the only one who was bawling that long! Man, they really know how to be relatable and hit hard with this movie. ❤️
@@aresef that's so cool!!!
@@Isosyth oh, neat. That makes sense!
Angel: I'm not going to cry
Daniels: And we took that personally
Hahaha. Apparently! They got me good.
I like the ending sort of saying that Evelyn still has those "powers", she's still "everywhere", but she choose to stay in her original Universe. Also, the fact that she has ADHD, the Daniels confirmed it too and when you realize that, it's sooo clearly shown in the movie.
Made on a budget of 25 million with only 5 people on the special effects team. "Verse jumping " is a great concept from a writing perspective because not only does it give you license to give your character whatever ability you want, it also let's you drop in whatever bit of slapstick you want.
WOW. That's seriously incredible, and good point! It was really smart and creative to use verse jumping.
God damn only 5? I love this movie more and more
I think it was $14.3 MM
I love how from the beginning of the movie up to the rock scene was all chaotic. It’s just like life. Sometimes we need a moment of silence and really think about what we value in life instead of getting lost in all of it. The layers of philosophy this movie brings on screen is unreal.
FUN FACT: The raccoon is voiced by frequent Disney/Pixar composer, Randy Newman.
That really is a fun fact! Cool. I love me some Randy Newman songs. :) Thanks for the info!
I took the ending to be her choosing to remain there despite the temptations. The key was in her response. Before she would lie and say she was paying attention or deflect. "I'm sorry what did you say" was an acceptance of herself getting distracted and choosing to refocus.
Kind of an ADHD thing 😅
Fun fact about the marital art choreography. It was done by the CZcams channel Martial club. The directors went on CZcams to find idea on how they wanted to do the fight choreography they found the Martial club channel and said “wait why don’t we ask them to do it”
It’s must be amazing for the martial clubs channel to go from a home grown YT channel to doing the fight choreography with Michelle Yeo. They have some behind the scenes on the channel
Wait, what?!? This is so neat!!! Thanks for the info!
One of my favourite things about the making of this film was that when Jamie Lee Curtis turned up and discovered she had a stunt double for the action scenes she said "I am not going to have someone else do my stunts when I am in a movie with Michelle Yeo." And had lots of fun doing it (and "stealing" office furniture from the set).
This is so cool!!! I had no idea. Thank you for sharing!
The Butt Plug twins... that's what a lot of people refer to them as 🤣. Awesome they found fame but that's a hell of a name to be used as a reference.
Stephanie Hsu should get in Oscar for her performance just saying “sucked into a bagel” is the delivery with such emotion and sadness. It can’t stop thinking of her performance in that scene. Incredible!
omg, right?!? INCREDIBLE!!! I agree 100%.
"Okay dokie Dr. Jones, hold on to your potatoes" love how you slowly come to realize who he is. Love the reaction btw .
Stephanie Hsu played the daughter and she stole the show in my opinion. Not to downplay Michelle Yeoh, James Hong, or Key He Quan, but Hsu is relatively new to this and held her own handily. I've never been much for writing fanmail but I'm so tempted to send her some just to praise her work. This movie is so vital.
Terrific point and comment. You are 100% right. She amazed me and did so well that I would have never guessed she was relatively new. I mean, she nailed every single scene/ expression/ emotion. I'm so glad you mentioned it, because now I'm ready thinking about it. Also, I lo e that you just said you're tempted to write fanmail for her even though it's not your normal thing...I've said that to myself multiple times recently about different things I've watched. Too funny/awesome. :) I still haven't done it, but I've thought, I think I'm going to write them a letter...and hand written letter, because it was that freaking good.
I see why you'd want to for her!
Thanks for sharing!
I wholeheartedly agree. I was blown away by her performance.
“Oscar nominated actress, Stephanie Hsu”
Totally agreed. She or Angela Bassett should have won because they were both so strong throughout their movies. Stephanie was harder in that she had to play both the villain and a vulnerable daughter
Probably the best reaction to this movie I’ve ever seen. Well done
Oh my gosh. Aww. Wow. I appreciate that! 💜 so happy you liked it
Ke Huy Quan had completely quit acting citing lack of substantial roles for Asian actors. It wasn't until he was approached for this role and the success of Crazy Rich Asians he decided to return.
I'm so, so happy he did come back. He did so well!
This movie is The Real Multiverse Of Madness.
Right?!! Like, when a independent movie with a minuscule budget explores the concept of Multiverse better and with more depth than a freaking MCU movie that literally has Multiverse in the title...
Too true.
A movie that defies adequate description, but is still sublime. If someone told you that there's a movie that will make you cry over a conversation between two rocks, you'd say they were crazy. And yet...
I love that you immediately started to cry when the rocks showed up..
Like it hit me too.
The movie is next level sorcery.
Immediately!
Too true. It really is. 🤍🤍🤍
It hit me like a rock. LoL Sorry.
The entire ensemble did an excellent job. Ke Huy Quan stood out because he was made to by the film story, but Stephanie Hsu really nailed the role of Jobu Tupaki (including the part that was Joy), and Michelle Teoh was, of course, incomparable. And James Hong and Jamie Lee Curtis did brilliant support. The script and direction by the Daniels nailed it (you should also watch their Swiss Army Man), and the martial arts choreography of Andy and Brian Lee (the butt-plug duo) was superb. [And I expect that quite a few cosplayers will be sporting Jobu's magnificent costumes in the future.] It's so full of little details that you can rewatch it time and time again and it will still hit you hard. Superb.
This was my favourite movie of 2022 for the emotional resonance it had with the audience. When you had a cinema of people crying at two rocks emoting on a screen you knew you had seen something special. [Although RRR did come close from the point of sheer outrageous spectacle and dancing.]
Another emotional watch, thats 2 in a row. As always a great reaction (especially when you spooked yourself... TRIVIA - Language is very important to the story. Evelyn speaks to her father in Cantonese, but she speaks to Waymond in Mandarin, showing cultural differences in their upbringing. Mother-Daughter relationship is also language shaped. Evelyn speaks to Joy in Mandarin and English, while Joy answers back in English and bad Chinese. Neither one find the words to express their ideas clearly to the other, keeping them divided. Even the language barrier with the Internal Revenue Service makes everything harder.
Michael, thank you!! Also...WOW. I love they did that with the languages. The main thing I wish about myself is that I knew more languages. I'm working on it, but I chose Japanese to start (the anime fan in me haha). I definitely didn't pick up on all of the different languages and dialects. Thank you for sharing this!
Joy only answers back in the Mandarin language (poorly) as she does not know how to speak the Yue-Cantonese language that her grandfather speaks. The actress for Evelyn (Michelle Yeoh) grew up in Malaysia and also doesn't natively speak Mandarin and had to learn Mandarin in the early 2000s for the movie Crouching Tiger, Hiden Dragon. I believe Michelle Yeoh's Mandarin actually uses a Hong Kongese dialect of Mandarin instead of the most common standard dialect of Mandarin. So it is a mix of different languages (English, Mandarin, and Yue-Canto) and even the same language with different dialects - Evelyn speaks Mandarin with Hong Kong dialect while Waymond speaks Mandarin with a different dialect (I believe the standard dialect).
@@AngelGroves One part that the subtitles misrepresent is when the family is at the elevators,(before Evelyn punches JLC), Gong-gong doesn't talk about Evelyn being irresponsible, (or whatever the subtitle was) in Cantonese, he literally says, "You are truly useless." SO harsh!
My take on the closing scene:
Evelyn is back to her regular life. Nothing has changed.
Except her.
She has changed. Her outlook is different. Instead of looking at all the problems she has, she sees what she has been blessed with. Life is amazing!
Very few perfect movies.... even less in the last decade. This is the first one I've seen in a while that hits me in EVERY emotion. It lives up to the title.
Ke Huy Quan and Michelle Yeoh Golden Globes winners!!
As a massive coincidence, I'm seeing the end of your reaction with the tv going in the background...and suddenly Ke Huy Quan wins the Golden Globe for this amazing movie. Thank for the great reaction, subbed.
The face you make when crying is heart wrenching
Awww.
Welcome to the multiverse, Angel!
Hope you're enjoying your tour through what is and what could have been and as usual, I have some information to help you on your journey:
Evelyn's father is played by legendary actor James Hong who has over 100 credits to his IMDb and is one of the most prolific actors in cinema history.
Reports during pre-production where that Joy was supposed to be played by Akwafina but obviously that wasn't the case as we got Stephanie Hsu instead who gives a fantastic performance.
Ke Huy Quan (Waymond) became famous as a child actor thanks to roles in the Goonies and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom but left Hollywood to focus on other pursuits. This is his first major role in over 20 years. He also did as many of his own stunts as he could.
All VFX were handled between 9 people (2 of them were the directors). No one had ANY prior VFX experience and many learned as they worked on the movie thanks to free online courses.
To help the editors with the slow motion elements, majority of the film was shot in high frame rate while other scenes like Evelyn getting sucked into the Janitor's Closet were filmed in slow frame rate and having Michelle Yeoh pushed into the closet at normal speed.
A key component both in a technical and thematic element in the film is language. Evelyn speaks exclusively in Cantonese to her father, Mandarin to her husband and a combo of Mandarin and English to her Daughter who in turn only speaks in English or bad Mandarin to her mother. These help better explain the relationships between people, especially the intergenerational aspects between parents and children and how the Divide between them can be subtle or extreme.
The Daniels (Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert) originally wrote the film with Jackie Chan as the lead but reconsidered the role as a woman for a more convincing story about relationships. The role ended up going to Michelle Yeoh, who worked with Jackie Chan in 1992's Supercop.
Dan Kwan originally had a plot point about Evelyn having undiagnosed ADHD but later dropped it, coincidentally, while researching the condition, he found out he has ADHD himself.
Daniel Radcliffe was supposed to make an appearance in the film but had to drop out due to scheduling. Radcliffe was in the Daniels' Swiss Army Man (2016) and has said that he'll gladly work with the Daniels on any project they ask without hesitation or seeing a script.
The dog mom at the beginning of the film presents a dry cleaning ticket with the number 42. This is a shout out to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as 42 was the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything.
Evelyn ducking through the cubicles while hiding from Deirdre is an homage to The Matrix when Neo is trying to avoid the agents at his office.
Evelyn's red carpet appearance was actually footage of Michelle Yeoh at her red carpet appearance at the premiere for Crazy Rich Asians.
Bagels are slang term for zero or nothing, hence Joy's symbol for nihilism..
Wherever we go, whatever we do, what's in front of us is just as valuable as the the road not taken. Live your journey and cherish every second of it because it's what makes your story extra unique.
Until next time Angel 🖤
PS, I agree on Kickboxer being the better of the films. I personally grew up watching the Quest more often so it has sentimentality but objectively, I can respect Kickboxer more than Bloodsport.
I LOVE James Hong. In the unedited reaction, I mention him in Big Trouble in Little China and Mulan. Two of my favorites that he's in.
Yes! I was proud of myself for recognizing Ke Huy Quan's voice from Indiana Jones and The Goonies. Though, I didn't know his name. No wonder I hadn't seen him in anything recently...that's awesome he is back, plus WOW he was incredible in every aspect.
Supercop??? I need to check that one out soon too. I like Jackie Chan a lot. I'm glad she got this role; she killed it.
The part that blew my mind the most...ALL VFX HANDLED BETWEEN 9 PEOPLE. I love that. With not much prior experience either? That shows how with a vision, creativity, talent, and lots of work, you can pull off amazing things.
I didn't even notice the number 42 ticket...I do know about the number 42 (I love numbers, and my birthday is 2-4), but I have only seen bits of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, when it used to play on T.V.
Absolutely. I know one of the reasons I really appreciate this movie is because it conveys that message of cherishing and valuing every moment one has.
Thank you for your positivity and info, as always, Brian. I appreciate it a lot.
Also, I've never seen The Quest! I have many Van Damme movies on my list still to watch. I love you like him too. I'll be watching The Quest soon for sure, especially since you like Kickboxer lol
See you for the next one!
@@AngelGroves James Hong is awesome in everything. The fact that you mentioned Big Trouble in Little China and Mulan shows how great of a range he has as an actor.
You like Jackie Chan but you never watched Supercop!?!? My heart broke a little right there, it was his next big American release after Rumble in the Bronx and she is very much his equal in that film on the stunts and the fight scenes. It's one of the reasons why they have always had similar roles in Hollywood but Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is where she is in Peak form as both a fighter and an actress.
The VFX stuff really surprised me but it's as you said, the passion was there Above All Else and having that inspire them to make this film on their own is a testament to it and now it gets to exist for all of us to see and enjoy.
I never saw The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy either but when I was looking up information I thought that was still pretty interesting tidbit of info and I didn't realize you had a birthday on Feb 4th so that's another fun little coincidence.
Of course I'm aware of Van Damme, I'm 5 years older than you, I grew up in the '80s and '90s watching all the classics. And while I like the Quest, it's funny because the guy it's all based on, Frank Dux convinced Jean-Claude Van Damme to essentially make the same film more than once about an underground fighting tournament, which is why you you watch Bloodsport, Lionheart and the Quest, you're going to see so many of the same story beats and elements telegraphed early on that you'll figure out the film before it even gets there. Although 2008's JCVD is one of the best Jean-Claude Van Damme films I've ever seen and his performance in it is fantastic because he's paying a version of himself in a hostage situation but he gives this monologue which is very raw and a bigger performance than I think he's ever given. Definitely worth checking if you haven't seen that one.
Until next time Angel 🖤
FYI, Ke Huy Quan didn't leave acting for other pursuits. There just weren't any roles for Asian American actors after his roles in Indiana Jones and Goonies. It was after seeing CrazyRichAsians that he got FOMO and called his agent and got this role after 30 some odd years
@@foxpaw1 According to his imdb he went from 2002 to 2021 without a credited role. It's a long time, but it's not right after his child actor roles and it's not 30 years.
@@brianrodriguez7057 I'm outside walking Boo (crazy cat likes to talk walks...) but as soon as I get back in I'm going to read your whole message (I started to but am struggling with his leash rn lol). 😇
This is actually the Story of a girl. Your clothes never wear the same the next day, your hair never falls quite the same way. No seriously Waymond mentions it quite early, and the song plays in multiple universes.
After being in "IJ: Temple of Doom" and "The Goonies" as a child, Ke Huy Quan found roles drying up for adult male Asian actors. Some of his friends were booking 3 or more auditions per week, whereas he'd get maybe 1 every 6 months, which would go nowhere. So he quit acting, and got a behind-the-scenes job doing stunt coordination. But more recently when "Crazy Rich Asians" came out, he realized that maybe parts for someone like him existed again, so he got an agent to try and start over with acting. One week later he got the audition for this movie.
Not enough roles for dog eaters?
This movie is so good that it gets us all with the butt plug surprise twice in a 45 second span. Watch every reaction to this scene. Everyone has the moment of realization when the butt plug comes into focus and he unzips.....and then we ALL got lulled into complacency thinking the joke had played out. And then the security guy goes up for a kung fu style slow mo jump attack.....we think.....but no.......they re-use the butt plug surprise gag AGAIN and we ALL fell for it. Genius movie. Top to bottom.
Ke Huy Quan and The Daniels won a Gotham Award for this tonight!
Wow. I can't believe I didn't pick up on that..."She is split now."
Great reaction and thanks for taking the trouble to make an extra vid just for the laundry and taxes scene. Subbed!
Such a beautiful movie💜💜
Beautiful is a perfect word for this movie. Every aspect of it. 💜
Your open-mouthed shock at Jobu doing the Verse-flipping thing was PERFECT, lol!
😂💜
i had an even harder time remembering who he was because i was also fairly sure i'd seen him before thanks to his unique voice, so i looked at the movies he'd done and it turned out it was this random chinese movie that he did just before his 20 year hiatus
Your reaction was heartwhelming and beautiful
EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE is a gloriously, messy, genre-bending film shot in only 36 days!!!! 36 DAYS !!!!!
Haha yes it's him :) Also he crushed it after many years of not acting! Great reaction , thank you.
Ke Huy Quan, The Daniels Critic's Choice winners!!
Outstanding reaction
Sobbing always
Anytime I see or watch this movie
It's so telling how so many people's automatic response to the guy simply saying that his late wife used to wear the same perfume is "ewww". It's sad.
The Daniels’ first movie Swiss Army Man is definitely worth watching. The ending is very touching.
I enjoyed watching this with you, thanks for sharing
Thank you! I'm so happy you enjoyed it. 💜
Great movie! Good reaction. The husband was in the second Indiana Jones movie as a child.
And The Goonies.
Thanks! Terrific movie, and yesss.. if I hadn't seen The Temple of Doom so much I know I wouldn't have recognized him so quickly. The first 3 Indiana Jones movies are in my top 30 movies of all time....out of thousands. haha Thanks for the comment!
@@Madbandit77 He's actually my favorite character in The Goonies because he invents stuff all of the time...I was just like him as a kid! I'm happy he's back into acting and that I was able to recognize his voice pretty quickly...though it is hard to miss. he sounds so similar. It's great. :) Thanks for the comment!
I can’t handle you wearing headphones with your back to open space (as in not on a couch against a wall) and two open doors into darkness
I dont know you and you dont know me but in another life I would have love to share tears while we watches this movie. 😊😊
Saw it four times in the theater
the way u see the rock with googly eyes, iz the moment I think u open your 3rd eye, its a big WOW
The laundromat has you, Neo.
Haha yes Ke Huy... I recognised his iconic voice from The Goonies 😅 The fighting scene with the fanny pack feels like a bit of a throwback to his role as Data
I really enjoyed this movie. Its strange and wacky. The flipping between genres...Sci-Fi, Comedy, Action, Drama...its an absolute rollercoaster ride. They did an incredible job with the budget
I live this movie.....From Malaysia we love you Michelle
Wish i could have been a fly on the wall then they made their creative pitch meetings. They must have had a faint idea on the storyline..but stuff like the hotdog hands must came up in a session "ok..we got the plot. Now lets hear some weird ideas for jumps. **Silence** hotdog hands! Love an IRS agent? With hotdog hands! We need butplugs..powerdrop on buttplugs! ....ok..good so far..anything else? Space oddesy was a good flick. With hotdog hands!"
The dialogue and acting is so fluent that it must've been fun to work on. Almost every scene has subtle humour which will lead into a laugh out loud scene, an emotional moment or a WTF moment - sometimes all at once.
Always makes me laugh when Americans say fanny pack...if only they knew.
Yess.. that's such a great point; I bet working on this was an awesome experience. Like you said, everything was so fluent. Even though it was a movie where literally anything could happen, it still remained so cohesive and an easy watch. They did a terrific job.
And oh no...I'm going to have to search what fanny is over there. Oh, wait, I think I just remembered...from my gamer friends...female reference?!? Hahaha
Too perfect. I'd been laughing as well
..I kept saying it. 🤣
See you for the next video, Michael!
Oh, I have seen this one. I'm still not sure what to make of it. I found it kinda overwhelming at certain points. Was a really well done film though and truly took the multiverse concept further than almost anything before (and I agree with the various comments said about this film and another 2022 movie that really didn't do much with the multiverse concept despite having it in the title). Gonna watch this reaction later when I eat my dinner. :D
I didn't even realise that guy was the kid from Goonies and Temple of Doom til after and that he'd barely done any other acting between then and this film. :O
Yeah, it did get a little overwhelming at parts, but done well, and overall really relatable for me, and I really love the sound and creativity in the movie. I agree with the multiverse bit also, though what parts they did do with it were a really fun way to view it. Than anything else, this movie is more of a simple, yet in-depth family drama with the theme of nihilism and sci-fi added in, in my opinion.
If I hadn't seen Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom SO many times, I wouldn't have recognized him so quickly either. I think it's awesome he's back into acting...he was great!!
I hope you enjoy the reaction with your dinner, later, and I'll see you for the next one! :)
Need to get on my way to have dinner with my dad, but man I loved this movie SO much, can't wait to rewatch later tonight when I get back home!
Hey Philip, I hope dinner goes well with your dad! 😃 Yes, this movie was awesome! 💙
I think Joy is still split and just merge with the current joy.
best movie in a long time!
My description of it is this “Monty Python presents Its a Wonderful Multiverse Life”.
My favorite movie of the year. And it doesnt happen often that a movie with a asian lead becomes a big movie.
Just think about it the last wold wide asian sex symbol was Bruce Lee. Sure there are some asian boybands now but they are not a worldwide sex symbol. I never would have imagined that i would almost cry over a conversation between 2 rocks!
I LOVE your comment and agree with it so much! I was watching my reaction back a few minutes ago (to see how it looked actually posted on YT), and I regretted not putting in a thought bubble in the video of me thinking how HOT Waymond (Ke Huy Quan) was during his fight scene. Then, his personality just increased the hotness tenfold. I'm really happy he's back into acting.
Also, right?!?! The rock convo is probably my favorite part of the whole movie...well, tied with Waymond being Waymond. But the rock part is really beautiful. Thanks for your comment!
@@AngelGroves yes the father was also my favorite character. It was also very fun to see Jamie Lee act kind of like Michael Myers in the scenes that she needs to be scary. Thank you for commenting on my comments. You suprised me in a good way with your reactions to the scenes in the movie. And for some reason the movies you pick are among my favorite movies.
@@bas7467 Oh, that is really cool. I didn't even think about her comparison to Michael. I bet that was a lot of fun for her! I enjoy watching the Halloween movies every year I can fit them in (especially the first one). Aw. I'm glad I surprised you in a good way/ I appreciate you saying that. I'm very honest and know my emotions might be too much for people at times. But I gotta just feel it as I feel it...so thank you. :)
Also, that is awesome. We apparently share similar tastes in movies.
I'll see you soon for the next one!
@@AngelGroves yes i agree. I also sensed that you are a emotional person. And thats what i mean with that you suprised me in a good way.
I used to have a lot of emotions as well. But to the point that it limited me, What helped me regulate that is to realize that you have a emotion and dont let your emotions have you. Because if you let your emotions take you over, you stop being yourself. Throwing a good part of yourself away is easier than getting it back. I also feel like we are quite similar. And i dont say this often.
I also like the little bit of insight you share about your history with movies. I went on a date with a girl who was a extra in movies or tv when i was younger and got paid for the date🤣 i also used to work in television as a producer and i didnt like it because a lot of people act fake. And i am not talking about the actors sadly. They did it to keep their positions. Greetings from Amsterdam.
If you enjoyed Michelle Yeoh, I recommend you watch: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. An amazing movie.
I knew very little about this film before I saw it. Pretty much watched it based on the casting. Was pleasantly surprised to see a strong attempt at Absurdist themes in a market-space frequently dominated by Existentialism based story-telling, and to have it look and feel just as fantastical as anything in that space. Added to my pile of good 😊😊
You have a pile of good? Damn!
This is a great remake of Jet Li's The One (Does anybody remember that movie??)
No seriously, though, Michelle Yeoh is always amazing.
The things she's done and gotten through are astonishing, she's always a complete blast to watch
All the choreography is so good, and there was definitely a lot of Hong Kong style cinematography showcasing it, which I love
Kickboxer, huh? I grew up on Lionheart, personally
Angel! You have to get to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! It's an operatic epic masterpiece
... bring cat, might make you ugly cry ...
Thank you so much for your comment,, Adam! You just reminded me I never got around to watching The One...but I remember vividly when it came out! Also, I've never seen Lionheart (now, on my list).
I'll be checking out Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon soon. January, latest! I need to see it! Michelle is so good in everything I actually have seen her in.
That's so cool they used a lot of Hong Kong style cinematography. I'd never known. Thanks for sharing this! 😀
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊
This reaction was a blast, glad I found your channel! Would you be open to reacting to Asian films from Korea, Japan, and China?
Good movie 🎉
Sparkle ❇ dildongs & Sausage fingers was the besterest part of the reaction reminded me of the cartoon salad fingers cartoon . Your the best Angel 😇 i know
Loved this movie and loved her reaction although I did find it odd that sometimes she seemed to start crying before the really emotional line was even said, like she knew the scene already… lol
Did you include the laundry line in your reaction?
I debated between re-naming my title "Shhh...just be rock.", solely because that laundry line in the convo IS one of the parts I had to edit or time :( , even though a favorite. FULL LENGTH IS FREE FOR for everyone on Patreon this month, though! (it is currently uploading)
I kept the laundry title, because Waymond's love overall is the best part of the movie for me, and since them in their laundromat was a big part of the entire movie, I knew people would get the reference. Great question. I'd have asked the same! :)
czcams.com/video/pPnl4maACMk/video.html I couldn't stand not being able to show more of this scene...here's a video for the full scene reaction! :)
It's great when you guys leave in the flick and the wink!! @24:07
Hahaha. She's such a great actress...had to leave in that wink 😉 during her "super fun" scene. Lol
@@AngelGroves If this movie isn't nominated for everything, I'm sending cat turds to Hollywood.
"Mother monkey uncle"...you can consider that one stolen.
Best movie.
So, so good.
I can,t wait to see you do a reaction the Jerk (1979) STARring Steve Martin and Bernedatte Peters and plaese also comment on dirty Navin gets in the film please alright.
The real Scarlet Witch up in this.
I mostly enjoyed this movie, but it felt long by the end. To me, it needed some trimming in places.
Ke Huy Quan has not been in a bunch of things, quite the opposite. He left acting after becoming disillusioned with opportunities for Asian American actors. Crazy Rich Asians have him FOMO, he asked a friend to be his agent and this script arrived two weeks later.
Another fun fact, this movie was originally envisioned with Jackie Chan as a possible lead. That didn’t work out so the Daniels decided to flip the story around and call Michelle Yeoh.
😲😲😲 This is so neat! No wonder I hadn't seen him in a while. Wow. I'm happy he's back. Very cool.
Also, I love Jackie Chan, but I'm really happy it ended up working out with Ke Huy Quan more.
Thanks for sharing this!
Is bloodsport and the kickboxer 2 different movies? I only watched bloodsport and thought kickboxer is just the american title..now i got to watch the kickboxer i guess..
Bloodsport was one of the first US films to feature Jean-Claude Van Damme. It was an illegal full-contact fight held by the Triads in Hong Kong. Kickboxer was a movie where Jean-Claude's brother is injured in a Muay Thai fight in Thailand. And so Jean-Claude naturally studies Thai-style Kick Boxing and avenges him.
Now I wanna see you do Bloodsport 😮
I'm happy you said that.. there are going to be Van Damme movies coming soon; I forgot how many of his I haven't seen, and I really, really like him. :)
I have seen a lot of the parts of Bloodsport, though, just not the whole thing at once. I might do a live watch-a-long for it still, for fun, which is what I plan on doing for those movies I've seen or seen most of but people still really want to see again. Like Bloodsport and Christmas Vacation, so far. :)
But yes, other Van Damme movies for sure will be coming for reactions, so please let me know if there are any besides Bloodsport you want to see. Appreciate any suggestions!
@@AngelGroves easy choice for a Van Damme movie would be Time Cop it’s very different of his movies and I feel handled time travel well.
All of his other movies mostly follow the same formula as Bloodsport where he fights a bunch of guys and gets beat up badly by the last guy but somehow pulls out the miracle win in the end.He also always crushes a dudes nuts in the worst ways in those type movies too 😂
For Christmas movies there is the sequel to A Christmas story that everyone is already trying to hate on.I haven’t seen it yet but love the original :)
@@nasman7492 Thank you! I love time travel already, so that's perfect.
I also haven't checked out the sequel to A Christmas Story. I don't have too high of hopes, but I'm definitely curious. Might have to do that one this season too! I'm going to put out some Christmas/Holiday polls in the morning. 💚❤️🤍 Thanks, again!
I wish Dr Strange was something like that instead just Wanda trying to kill everyone because she missed Vision.
One of my favourite editors cut this video: czcams.com/video/1CfYdpwlo54/video.html
Just watched it. LOVED it!!! Thank you for sharing.
You cut the laundry and taxes (title of the video) part… :(
I knooowww...it wasn't intentional! I had to edit down more for copyright issues, late the other night, and I didn't mean to take that part out. :( Full length is for free for everyone on Patreon, though, later today. I left the title with laundry, because even without that line, them doing laundry together is a big part of the movie, and I knew if anyone had seen the movie, theyd understand. :) I thought about doing another edit and putting it back in, but I'd have to reupload. Thanks for understanding. Terrific line!
czcams.com/video/pPnl4maACMk/video.html I couldn't stand not being able to show more of this scene...here's a video for the full scene reaction! :)
You cut out the best few lines of the movie🥺🤯🤯🤯
I agree! I had to edit it down a lot for copyright, and I really didn't I had to have so much of that scene cut. I wanted more of it shown, so I just posted a reaction to the full scene, including some of my favorite lines in the movie. czcams.com/video/pPnl4maACMk/video.html Thank you for your comment!
I had no interest in this movie...at all. When I finally watched it it sucked me...into the bagel. I am now obsessed....it is now one of my favorite movies EVER!
Original lion king?
Love it! 💛I saw it in theaters when it first came out. I actually just referenced it in my Coco reaction.
@@AngelGroves maybe watch it next!? :)
@@mattkaske2880 since I've already seen it a lot, I won't be watching it immediately. I might do a rewatch in the future, though!

My Review
* Directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, Everything Everywhere All at Once is a movie about nothing. More precisely, nothing matters.
* At first, I was not too fond of the movie. The “over-the-top” humor was too much for my sensibility. On the surface, it is a tired story about a dysfunctional multi-generational Chinese family in America. Underneath, it is about “nihilism” across the multiverse.
* I notice more on each rewatch: (1) the set design, (2) the symbolism of circles everywhere, (3) the range of acting, and (4) the fight choreography. I realize that the over-the-top humor was intended to shock the viewers out of complacency and to think “outside the box.”
* Michelle Yeoh, the lead actress, gave the performance of her life. Jamie Lee Curtis, a supporting actress, was hilarious. Ke Huy Quan, a supporting actor, gave an award-winning performance. Ke was the 12-year-old Chinese boy in Indiana Jones 2 but quit acting to be a stunt coordinator.
* Everything Everywhere All at Once led all 2022 films with 11 Oscar nominations.
