Everything Everywhere All at Once

Wow… This is one of the most impressive films I've ever seen. It's colorful, flashy, grand, vast, dynamic, profound, well-edited, entertaining, emotional, and the words describing it could go on endlessly. I put this movie off for a long time, thinking it wouldn't fit my taste based on what I knew from online discourse. And I even felt that, whatever it is, in the first part of the movie. It's the introduction, so of course you feel kinda lost and like the plot is just nonsensical rambling. There's also more focus on the goofy action. It really reminded me of that cartoonish feel like in Adventure Time, Regular Show, or Rick and Morty. Don't get me wrong, I like it, just not as much in comparison to the rest. But from that point on, it's undoubtedly a masterpiece. I loved all the different versions of Evelyn's character and the constant switches between them. (Especially the rock universe, it's my favorite.) [ I adore movies like Magnolia and American Beauty. There's something so touching about the stories of individual people to me. I also think about alternative scenarios about myself and the world very often. I constantly wonder what my life would look like if something had turned out different in the past. The world obviously has an even wider range of possible alternative outcomes. It's sad for me to imagine just how better today would be if JFK, MLK, Malcolm X/ Tupac weren't assassinated; if Al Gore won in 2000; if 9/11 didn't happen; or even if some unreleased albums and movies happened. ] A ton of stuff, ranging from history-altering to tiny, is out there. And I like that a film explores this in some way.> *You are not unlovable. There is always something to love. Even in a stupid, stupid universe where we have hot dogs for fingers, we get very good with our feet.*The last remaining hour felt like a euphoric enlightenment. I've never done drugs; the closest I've ever experienced was anesthesia once, but that part of the movie was oddly near that feeling. For a movie to spark all of those thoughts and emotions in me, I'd feel untrue to myself and the universe to give it anything less than a max rating.> *When I choose to see the good side of things, I'm not being naive. It is strategic and necessary. It's how I've learned to survive through everything.* *I know you see yourself as a fighter. Well, I see myself as one too. This is how I fight.*
