this is the kind of art i want to consume. the concept is immaculate and the execution is somewhere between very good and perfect. in a world of everything bagels it’s nice to be reminded that we get to decide what matters in our lives, and that perhaps the one true joy of existence is to struggle through it with others.
it suckers you in under the guise of being about a mother and daughter’s relationship, but then it clarifies that it wasn’t actually taking itself THAT seriously (it’s a marvel movie duh), then oh shit turns out it was about that relationship. and nihilism. and funny enough marvel movies too.
the primary reason i use this app (originally posted on LB but ggs that shits cooked now) is for the power it gives us to wade through the noise of the uninspired profit-motived art, to find things that are truly fascinatng marvels of creation. if i’ve learned anything, it’s that those things exist. like letterboxd, this movie also makes me think about art under capitalism, and the sad part is, i do feel like this movie pulls some punches and tries to be a bit too widely appealing. it is a god damn shame that the barrier to entry to making movies so high that this movie stands out as so against the grain. funny enough, this is one of the reasons i think tiktok is incredible — it allows ordinary people to create revolutionarily, and all but guarantees good art will find it’s audience.
i do find the action comedy over the top pandering of everything everywhere a bit of a turn off (some of the action was incredible but other bits were slow and boring, some of the funny bits land well but a lot are textbook sitcom humor), but honestly if that’s the required vehicle for trojan horsing such a beautiful message to the masses, then i suppose they’re forgiven. in that way this movie is like ping ping the animation — a trojan horse i prefer more — but comparing the two in terms of cultural impact would be laughable.
deserving of all praise it receives. a modern masterpiece
