Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) MOVIE REACTION *FIRST TIME WATCHING*

[@indianajones8839]

Hanna is now the master of symbolism. The fact that Ash did not get a single symbolism makes him lose his credibility as the symbolism God.

[@bruno9764]

So much symbolism. The hot dog fingers wow. Made me rethink life.

[@thenewinquisition2392]

@Carlie McCoy Ash was good by himself, actually had his own thoughts and emotion, Spartacus was great. Now he just relies on Hannah, whilst he is busy talking and thinking up shit 'symbolisms' and missing the actual films.

@@bruno9764The film is full of symbolism. The hot dog fingers isn’t an example of it.

[@GRedgold]

"She's just blocking, because her daughter has learned to fight the way SHE learned to fight." Hannah absolutely killing the symbolisms game with this gem.

[@IceMetalPunk]

Yep. I'm not even sure I ever noticed that, even though this is tied for my favorite movie and I've now seen it (or an abridged reaction-channel version of it) more times than I can count. That's amazing. It's also additionally heartwarming because at that point, they're both still learning to fight like Waymond, with kindness. Evelyn is just the first of the two to start trying it.

[@TheJerbol]

This is also tied for my favourite movie, me with Arrival. How about you?@@IceMetalPunk

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@TheJerbolThe Spider-Verse films are the other tied contenders.

[@TheJerbol]

Okay you got me. They're easily the best superhero films ever made, the finale will probably seal it as the best trilogy ever@@IceMetalPunk

[@stevencleere4912]

That fight where Evelyn is just blocking is so evocative of a child angry at their parent and lashing out at them and the parent just taking the blows, blocking them, all the while saying "It's okay. I know youre mad. You can be mad at me, its ok. I still love you. I will always love you. I am your mother."

[@IceMetalPunk]

Hannah 100% "got" and connected to this movie more than Ash did. Ash couldn't seem to get past the surreal elements, even though the whole point was that normal is relative, nothing matters except what you care about, and even in a totally alien and foreign world love and kindness would still the only universal goal.

[@deadlyrobot5179]

I get what you're saying, but I'm on Ash's side. Imagine I tell you 50 jokes back to back without letting you process any of them, suddenly none of them are funny. This movie throws 10 wacky ideas at you every 30 seconds, it got annoying really fast.

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@deadlyrobot5179 I get that, and that's how I felt about Thor Love and Thunder. But this is difference, because it's not throwing a bunch of random jokes at you hoping they're funny. It's introducing a bunch of surreal ideas that all connect back to either the plot or the overall themes. Many of the surreal elements aren't even meant to be funny, they're meant to enhance and demonstrate the deeper themes of the movie. So "they're not funny anymore" is kind of missing the point, since they're not *supposed* to all be funny.

[@deadlyrobot5179]

​@@IceMetalPunk It doesn't matter if the ideas are connected or random, my brain needs time to process what just happened on the screen. This movie shoves 15 new wacky story plots and ideas down my throat every 2 minutes, and that was mind-numbing to me. Feed me the cool ideas one at a time.

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@deadlyrobot5179 Different strokes for different folks, I guess 🤷‍♂ But if they sat there and spent 10 minutes or more on every example of the plot or theme, it's be a 5 hour movie 😅

[@deadlyrobot5179]

[@themikereda]

lol yeah there was no chance Ash was gonna get this movie on any level

[@luc-i-guess]

Yo Hanna is the real MVP of this movie. It was like she wrote the damn film herself. That fact that she loves the hotdog finger world proves she's done all the work she needs already to get over her discomfort to embrace the absurd love.

[@stevenr6397]

I love the fact that the old guy who tells her that the purfume reminds him of his wife comes off as so creepy and gross at the start but then you see that later just smelling that purfume is enough to make him blissfully happy and that he was actually sincere about it, proving that you shouldnt assume the worst

[@peo6368]

for ash just was "is giving him a shower" lol

[@mregobuster]

Hanna: "This is great, I have no idea what's going on." Best way ever to describe this movie in one sentence.

[@hippoafrojagger1392]

but still understanding it at the same time! That's top tier.

[@khain9732]

Ash. Mate. My man. Your girl just gave you a symbolism lesson. If you ever find yourself frustrated in the relationship, remember the movie where your girl brought to the game what you bring to the game. Hannah held our hands for this movie ! Bravo Hannah.

[@Danstraightedge]

I love that Hannah got every single meaning. This film is fucking amazing and a cinematic masterpiece. Ash missing the symbolisms is very ironic. I'm one of those dickhead film students who criticises everything in films but this film deserved all of the awards and then some more. This is everything that cinema should be. Beautifully bonkers and wonderfully touching.

[@pennze]

[@Jose-sx4ql]

So true, it’s so funny how he kept saying “they’re saying the same thing over and over, and I’m like I got it”…um no honey you obviously didn’t, Hannah on the other hand she understood it all and that’s why she loved it

[@rickmoreno7166]

Hannah is seriously MVP of this channel ever since Ash brought her on.

[@samirh2758]

It was alright. No need for hyperbole.

[@soulscyther666]

This movie is a modern masterpiece. Everything about it is so well done. It isn't just a good hilarious action movie, but it also has lots of profound philosophy, themes, messages and symbolisms. It tackles two opposing approach to existentialism; pessimistic nihilism and optimistic absurdism. Also the duality of google eyes (white outside, black inside) and everything bagel (black outside, white inside) is like a yin-yang of those ideals. Joy is the nihilistic "nothing matters anyway, so might as well end everything" and Evelyn is like the optimistic "nothing matters anyway, so might as well enjoy things" which she learned from Waymond's mentality of absurdity (represented by googly eyes), the idea of enjoying life as it is.

[@pennze]

Ive just learned to accept this movie is just going to go over people's heads. So when I meet someone who understands this movie I feel like I can already tell what kind of person you are.

[@gnarxy]

nothing matters, but knowing that is something. Only reason to not end everything is because the alternative is nothing. At least here I exist; or I wouldn't even be able to contemplate how much nothing matters. "the great truth is there isn't one."

[@Accolonian]

Ash finally got out-symbolised. You could literally see hime zone out at one point. I think the reason he thought it was repetitive is because he was missing entire layers. Which is fine; there was a lot of stuff I only caught on the second viewing , but I never ever made myself believe that "I got it".

[@melannydayrethratliff1309]

No, I think he got it, what happen to him is the same that happen to a youtuber that is used to analyze movie, she said that she liked it but no as much, she couldn't cry in the scene she has to do to the movie changing the tone from funny to serious every minute.

[@revangerang]

Yeah, literally every moment, every aspect of this film has deep symbolism and themes, so it was never just repeating itself or being random. Even Big Nose's laundry number is 042 aka the meaning of life, the universe and everything. And the random hot dog fingers in their mouths represent the wild variations of kinks and ways of connecting people can have. And how the intention and heart is what matters. I am still personally trying to work out the meaning of the Big Nose dog throwing scene, beyond just reminding the viewers of the beginning of the film and that Big Nose and the laundromat exist... Maybe hypocrisy (her being offended at Evalyn hurting the dog) and the way people can abuse the ones they love when trying to get their way? It also seems to be a reference to a woman in real life who did something like that with her dog, so maybe it's hoping to remind people of that incident and prove that even all the wild things in the film might not be that far from reality.

[@Kellyeeeee]

Hannah is a film GENIUS. I've seen this movie over 10 times (including once with my own single mother) and Hannah picked up on things immediately that it took me a few times to understand.

[@Cadinho93]

The film deals with suicide. The daughter was destroying everything including killing herself in each multiverses and in each universe she searches for her mom. No matter what she searches for her. Also, the rock scene where she hurls down the cliff and her mom goes after her, fighting to rescue her and finally joins her is actually the most profound especially for those who suffer from mental health. The rock scene deals with a lot of suicidal thoughts. Searching for peace, taking about discovery, then finally giving up and letting go.

[@victoria2425]

i started crying when i realized this and basically continued to do so until the end of the movie lol

[@maldrix5449]

She doesn't kill herself in each universe. The alpha guys kill each version because it gives one less for her to jump too

What’s funny is people who try to overthink this film don’t get it and people who just go with it enjoy it the most. I always tell people to go into this open minded and to try not to understand it. It will come together. This movie is perfect!! The wackiness helps to subvert your expectations of the serious moments so when they do happen they hit hard

[@pennze]

Unfortunate for Ash to miss the importance of the different universes. This is my movie of 2022 . All the awards are deserved. This is one of the most symbolic movies of all time and I can understand why some people may miss it and need a few watches to catch everything but to say it tried to be too artsy is crazy. Theres a reason it is an A24 movie.

[@DigitaILove]

Could just not be that persons particular style of film. Not everyone wants to sit and watch a movie multiple times just to get the point… I’m sure her fingers turning into hotdogs and the guy shoving a dildo up his ass had lots of meaning of breaking the norms of society or whatever but it’s fine to just relax with a film.

[@SoonLeeNZ]

I think EEAAO is a brilliant movie, but when I saw it, I thought it was going to be too "out there" for most people. So I was surprised (and happy) when it got so popular, because honestly, I thought most people would have had the same reaction as Ash.

@@SoonLeeNZ There are movies "out there" that just throw random shit at the screen for the hell of it, never follow through or back up anything. EEAO is just written and executed so brilliantly that yeah you might miss stuff on your first watch, but that doesn't mean it's not there. This is an incredible piece of art, produced on a relatively small budget, that puts movies like Dr. Strange 2 to shame on dealing with multiple realities. Every award was so well earned.

[@imransukri]

I love the difference in opinions that you guys had because that is literally the film. Ash is expecting every single thing in this movie to mean something while Hanna is just enjoying and she’s not too focused on what it means. And if we look at the film; that’s the premise for the Mother & Daughter. Joy/Jobu expects life to have meaning, but when she got the ability to be present in all realities (the multiverse), life quickly loses meaning for her. Like she said “everything is a RANDOM rearrangement of particles in a vibrating superposition”. In her view, her life was the result of a random probability. Thats why she had the mentality of “nothing matters anyway so why should I bother trying?” Evelyn on the other hand had a different view. She realised that nothing mattered. But because nothing matters, you can do whatever you want. Who cares?? If you want sausage fingers up your mouth? Go for it! It doesn’t matter!

[@bruno9764]

The hotdog fingers was so heartfelt. How did he not like such a compelling scene? It was the most hilarious thing put on camera. I heard Martin Scorcese laughed his ass off in that scene.

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@bruno9764 It actually *was* though. The whole point of the movie is that normal is relative and nothing matters except what we decide is important enough to matter, and that we should choose love and kindness. The hotdog universe is the only one in which Evelyn is in a relationship with a woman, so as she learns to love Diedre in that universe, it helps her empathize with Joy even more, compared to her hiding behind Gong Gong as a reason to be ashamed of Joy's sexuality. In case that wasn't clear, it's literally stated in the film: "There's always something to love, even in a stupid universe where we have hotdogs for fingers."

[@Hayzelle]

To add, the directors have said the hot dog fingers were an empathy test for us, the viewers. That they include them several times is so interesting. It's as though they're daring us to figure it out and open our hearts as the movie progresses. It's a challenge to see if we can get to a place by the end where the love story between Deirdre and Evelyn overrides our disgust for the fingers in mouths.

[@Blackbaldrik]

I'm a HUGE fan of this movie, and something I've noticed from watching the movie like a dozen or more times, and watching multiple dozens of reactions to it; If you're in the wrong headspace and your attention lapses, the watching experience of this movie can suddenly become real bad. If you become distracted or just aren't ready to fully absorb it, it might very easily go from being one of the best films ever made (which it is), to feeling like it's nothing more than, "LOL XD Random." Almost every single moment in the entire film is necessary to understand and enjoy the rest. It's not like a lot of other movies where you can turn your brain off or look away for a bit and still be fine. And I'm not even saying like, "only smart people will understand it," it's really not hard to grasp at least the surface messages your supposed to get from it. You just gotta be there to take it in. Also, it can just be too fast for some people, and that's fine. Nothing's for everybody and it doesn't make you dumb or the movie bad.

[@crazycatlady6226]

This movie made me feel like I had years of therapy for some mommy issues I didn’t realize I had lol. The acting, cinematography, editing, everything is just so good. I can’t remember a movie that made me feel all the feels like this one did.

[@tuesdae666]

This movie was a spiritual journey for me. Of love, family, mental health, life choices, endless possibilities. Have you ever wondered what would have happened if you had made a different choice? That was what this movie was about. And the failed Joy in the Alpha universe was looking for her mom and finally found the worst Evelyn who was a failure in everything. It made me think of my own mother whom I've purposely hurt so many times because I've been so angry with her. And she's hurt me too. But she's always put up and forgiven me every single time. And YOU HAVE AN EYELASH IN YOUR Eye. Hahaha killed me.

[@zumasa9991]

A lot of my friends had a similar reaction to Ash. It sucks because it's one of my favorite films. I think many fail to see the plot through the wackiness. Some people, like Hannah can appreciate the wackiness and the creativity and capture the plot and the message through that. There's nothing wrong with the way Hannah or Ash see the film. That is why we have Films. It touches everyone in a different way. Parents transfer their trauma and experiences to their children. It happens a lot. And what's difficult for parents to accept is that... they're wrong. They become so caught up in their life and ways that they fail to see how wrong they are. In this movie you see the struggle Ewelyn has throughout the entire film. It took a rollercoaster and confusion and Dimension travel to be able to accept it. Many parents have to jump through so many hoops to admit they are wrong and grow. The message was the same throughout the film and yes there was a lot of wacky stuff. I personally didn't mind it. I didn't notice it until Ash mentioned it. (thanks for that Ash.. you killed this movie for me -___-) lol jk. Overall... This movie isn't for everyone. Many people have mixed feelings. One thing is certain. This film deserved the awards it got. For many reasons. The actors for one. Crazy comeback stories with the actors. Two- The story. Name another movie with this plot and Scifi dimension travel like this.... I'll wait. Three the Directors. Look into how they made the film and you'll see how much work they put into this. All in all this movie is cemented as one of the greates scifi movies ever made. And if you don't agree... Sausage fingers.

It's interesting that you two spent so much of the movie wondering if everything was just symbolic of Evelyn's inner struggles, and wasn't "really" happening. I mean sure, it's all super-weird, so it makes sense to wonder that a bit, but you're the first reactors I've seen to really consistently view the movie that way. Great reaction, still! :) EDIT: I wonder if that's maybe part of why you both started getting bored with the "wacky" parts - because you viewed them just as a vehicle for the "message" of the film, rather than viewing them as actual events with actual importance and stakes (i.e. saving whole damn multiverse from chaos and destruction).

[@Density13]

This movie was VERY relatable not only to immigrant families, but particularly those from Asia. The way the family "functions" is very real for lots of first generation immigrant families. That’s not to say it’s not relatable for others. Over all, this movie is a master piece. Waymond's speech always gets me and I've watched this movie like 10+ times already. Ke Huy Quan (Waymond) came out of retirement for this role, he retired in the early 90's due to a lack of role opportunities for someone of his ethnicity. He played Short Round in Indiana Jones and Data in The Goonies. He won an Oscar for this role as well. Much deserved.

This movie changed my brain chemistry and helped to let go of so much generational trauma, finally a movie that talked about everything i felt. From a daugthers point of view with mother issues and whos mother is an immigrant, it really truly hit home for me. So i always wondered, what's the difference between people who understand this movie and those who don't, i concluded that the answer is EQ, emotional intelligence. The movie is all about symbolism that represents generational trauma and the value of life. The title "Everything everywhere all at once" is literally the movie in itself. life is nothing without laughter in between the darkness we stuggle with.

The chaos of the movie is intentionally over the top, as I’d the humor, the wackiness feeds into the idea that, the multiverse is wacky and unpredictable and life is too, it’s funny but the humor is deeper than “weird hot dog fingers” it’s all metaphorical of the chaotic nature of things, as well as an allegory for undiagnosed ADHD, anyone who has ADHD knows this movie is how your brain feels

[@daniilashurov135]

You should really check "Swiss Army Man" by same directors. If you thought this was wacky, you are not ready for "Swiss Army Man"😃

[@zeetuslupeedus]

Im actually really surprised that Hannah didnt take to Waymond right away. I instantly adored him. I think hes really the heart of the film. He adds a great perspective in contrast to Joy's nihilism.

[@rgncajun21]

So impressed with Hanna on catching everything. And I love ur guys banters

[@milkysue5496]

This movie absolutely blew me away. The editing and the complete insanity of the storyline, was just like nothing I've seen before. I understand if it's not for everyone, but it was an aggressive rolercoaster while being slapped in the face, and i loved it

[@christina8101]

This is a masterpiece of a true film

[@alexandrasloane]

As always, I want Hannah to just be around for every single movie I watch. She just gets it!

[@phousefilms]

Me whenever Ash says something and doesn't understand:(stares, tucks him under a couch)As I was saying....

[@greggately5782]

I love this film…and Hannah really understood the message and enjoyed it which is awesome

[@arraymac227]

'just doing laundry and taxes..' gets almost everyone. IMO, it's the pivotal line of the film.

[@Masky5150]

I've been anticipating you guys watching this film! What a masterpiece it is! Gets me every time. Much love to Ash and Hannah from California!

[@melissimo.]

Seeing Hannah react to and enjoy this reeeeaally makes me want to see her react to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Another wacky one but with a strong message about a relationship. Jim Carrey in a serious role and his best role imo along with Kate Winslet. I hope you guys watch it one day. 😊❤

[@trentb3148]

Probably would have benefitted Ash to speculate a bit less with this film. So much happens so quickly, looking for "symbolisms" is best left for post-film discussion (cause there's a lot of it). It's cool though, as much as I love this film and think it deserves every accolade it gets, it's also weird and niche and not for everyone. Surprised it's gotten as much attention as it has.

[@conorkyle2175]

Ash has no actual idea what symbolism is, and has never even bothered to look it up

[@lydiaking322]

@@conorkyle2175 i like both Ash and Hannah. Love their reactions, but I have to agree with you a little lol. Some of the things he calls symbolisms are not symbolisms. It's kinda funny lol

[@conorkyle2175]

@@lydiaking322 I like them and the channel too - which is why it’s disappointing that when he gets to a movie that’s actually rich in symbol and metaphor, he sometimes doesn’t even notice or care (not a word on Brooks releasing the crow in Shawshank as actual symbolism, for instance?) - there’s a lot of articles, classes, and analysis out there for anyone to learn about the essentials of film theory and storytelling. it’s just weird to use an actual complex film idea as a catch-phrase and not dig any deeper at all

[@jassypr]

Ash not being serious when there’s comedy moments meanwhile hannah is serious from the whole movie itself 😂😂😂

[@kroanosm617]

The completely contrasting reactions is hilarious. Ash is loving every second of the bumbag fight and Hanna is freaking out.

[@qyn69]

Ash keeps saying his versions of the symbolism and its funny because almost every thing he sasys is wrong.

[@peo6368]

is really ironic that someone that could find symbolism even in transformers movies didnt say anything about this one, if you watch it again frame by frame is nonsense how many things you can find. I really suggest hanna to watch it again in silence and try to spot everything, spoiler alert if you try you will need to re-do it again is insane

[@murphicus]

The absurdities were intentional, to break the emotional feelings. It needed the breaks.

[@leonwilcox4887]

Hannah you were awesomeness!

[@tinaa8699]

I’ve been waiting for you guys to react to this one. This is one of my favs

[@ShinNorimaro]

Glad you guys finally got to this one. One thing it seemed like almost EVERYONE agreed with was that it would go from sentimental to hot dog fingers (Hannah….calm down 😂). People were like “I’d be happy if I didn’t see hot dog fingers again”. I loved the movie and when I saw it in early 2022 I said it should be movie of the year (Top Gun Tried to sneak in).

[@justintuisamoa4191]

She knows more about symbolisms than Ash apparently

[@hufflepuffalex4928]

Ash definitely didn’t get the message of the movie. The “wacky” parts are important to the story and aren’t just used as symbols.

[@lukasmeggs5857]

The actor that played Waymond, his name is Ke Huy Quan, played Short Round in the Temple of Doom movie from the Indiana Jones franchise

[@NoAds-xi2yn]

What makes this film incredible is how it tells many different stories all of which are linked to one central message and ultimately, one story. Not many films manage to accomplish that!

[@renegarza9]

Take a shot every time he says “symbolism”

[@whereisCarmenSandiego]

Hannah has transcended into the symbolism goddess 🧜🏻‍♀️

[@shineforeverz]

The wincing at the paper cut was so real

[@zziicckk01]

Wow!!! Hannah is the MVP again... so perceptive and empathetic. Thank you for your reaction!!!!
