Guys You should be watch Vikram which is the Indian movie basically a iconic movie. I sure that you will forget rrr and kgf after watching this ❤️❤️❤️

[@Lannisen]

Just a note on one of the last points you made, I think Gonggong accepted Becky so quickly because through all the multiverse it's the first time he's seen Joy care about someone. She is so nihilistic as Jobu that he might not have thought her capable of being in love with someone, but finding that she is, might have changed his mind about her. Its after that that he tries to help save Jobu as well.

In the end, Evelyn didn't want to be in any universe but hers, because in those universes, there was no Joy in them.

[@josephjauregui9776]

Wow

[@210rebelboy]

not necessarily, but that is a good thought. If there were no other Joys, how is she experiencing all these universes at the same time? Where is she tapping into for the costume changes? She'd have no power if there were only one left. Evelyn had alternative life paths where she was successful AND had Joy, hence the alpha universe where Evelyn was a brilliant scientist and pushes her own daughter too far.

Her expression of that line was so powerful. Proper tears

[@clonnlijinhlong2713]

[@krattenfnatten]

What’s depressing, is that Gonggong never cared or replied to Evelyn when she tried to reach out to him in the past (phone call when she was pregnant) Only appearing in her life when he needs to be taken care of. Imagine having to take care of the person who has hurt and abandoned you.

[@terricooper3678]

I watched this movie with my autistic 17 year old daughter. She is incredibly smart and constantly corrects my English. I often feel like I've failed her as a mother due to my having PTSD. We fight often but I've always told her I've never wanted any other daughter. She's my porcupine who doesn't like to be hugged and struggles with feelings and I never want to be anywhere without my porcupine. My mother is 77 and doesn't understand autism. I have to set boundaries when it comes to how she talks to and about my daughter This movie is phenomenal. My daughter understood it right away and it means a lot to both of us. I just dropped my daughter off at University of Southern California this week. I had to move to LA since she's unable to drive and wanted me nearby as support. I really didn't want to move to LA. But again, I love my porcupine more than anything else so...

[@davidbaye3758]

Thank you for sharing your story and thank you for being the best mom you can be for your porcupine!

I love this story. And I love how you call your daughter your "porcupine". It reminds me of the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer's "hedgehogs dilemma". A metaphor about how hedgehogs want to cuddle for warmth but can't get too close lest they prick each other with their quils. Getting close to others make us vulnerable, and sometimes it hurts, but it's worth it for the warmth and companionship.

[@Saphthings]

There are so many parallels you notice in a rewatch. like how she killed that cop by making him explode into confetti, she was tapping into the pinata universe and essentially switched them and turned him into his pinata self. He says the "story of a girl" lyrics and then the song is playing in the background in another scene, so it's talking about how maybe what we say is a lyric somewhere out there in another reality. And many many others!

[@brianng8350]

Oh, I did not connect the confetti and piñata… hmmm…

[@Dannydarko27]

The song plays in the background multiple times and is different depending on the universe. The singer actually collaborated with the Daniels and rewrote it himself. When the script was written one of them wrote the scene and remembered those words were from something, so he googled it lol One version is of the songs is "Story of a Chef" in the Racacoony verse and another is "Story of a Dom" in the BDSM verse

[@Lannisen]

There is some really clever foreshadowing mixed into the absurdity and chaos of this film. The first time Evelyn verse jumps she has to tell Deidre that she loves her, because Deidre thinks she's unlovable, and that's ultimately how Evelyn helps her in the end. Showing her that she's not. And when Gonggong wants to shoot Joy in the office, Evelyn speaks with Waymond's voice, because that's how Joy is saved. By Evelyn learning to think and fight with kindness, like Waymond.

[@cocteaupvssylice]

The kung fu master said “kung fu isn’t just about combat, even this cookie can be kung fu”, combat represents Alpha Waymond who taught Evelyn how to verse jump and gain combat skills and cookies represent the current Waymond who gives cookies to Deidre despite Deidre being mean, thus cookies represent Waymond and how he fights with kindness

[@coldheart5791]

For a latino gay man with a bad relationship with his parents this movie destroyed me, but it made make an attempt to a least have a better communication with them cause like Joy i just wanted to be left alone and be as far from them as possible, and even thou it still needs some work, i can now visit and talk to my parents like a normal person and that is all that i wanted and it was this movie that motivated me to do so.

“Kinda brutal honesty. And kinda harsh.. kinda insulting” welcome to having an Asian parent bruhs lol but for real, so glad you guys watched this. Definitely my pick for movie of the year, and being 1st generation Asian American, watching this put me through a lot of emotions that I didn’t realize I’d be able to look back on and understand now that I’m older. The pain I’ve had from how my parents raised me had me severely almost concerningly relate to Joy and the pain she felt and the idea of generational trauma and trying to break the cycle.

[@DanteRU0312]

It's still horrible parenting.

[@210rebelboy]

@@DanteRU0312 true, there is a lot of trauma, regardless of whether we understand our families have good intentions. Change is slow though, and to some degree we owe it to them to forgive them for it. Like based on how they were brought up, how could they really know different? Sure they can watch movies, and see other examples, but internally, it's really hard for them to come to terms with the idea that they are harming us. To do that, they kind of have to look through their own life and admit to themselves that they are hurt, and they never got a chance to confront that for themselves. So they go through their entire lives believing that trauma is normal, they just call that living, they don't even realize they're hurt, and that that internal pain can affect those around them. It's pretty much exactly what Evelyn is dealing with in this movie. She never admitted to herself that it was wrong for her father to let her go the way he did, and that seemingly small, ancient moment that clearly no one else is really thinking about directly is impacting her relationship with her daughter decades later. But like the movie shows us, you just keep trying, try to keep them because they're your family. Like Oak said, have faith in them that they have the ability to change, and that they care enough about you to try.

[@AL-fl4jk]

“This is a story of a girl” 😂 FINALLY someone recognized it

[@davidbaye3758]

I knew I had heard it somewhere!!! -Oak

[@Dannydarko27]

Yup, the Daniels realized the words were from a song after writing the scene, so they ended up collabing with the singer. He rewrote different versions for different universes, including "Story of a Chef" and "Story of a Dom". Even the one heard in the car is a country rendition to symbolize heartache. There's and interview about it with the Daniels

[@Saphthings]

You know, I've finally realized after rewatching this several times, the Alpha Joy, becoming Jobu means that in that universe that Joy was the "worst Joy", the one that failed at everything. Because Alpha Weymond said that in order for the mind to be able to handle all those and access all possibilities they had to be from the universe where every choice was the "wrong" choice. And then Joy at the end tells her mom, "Why wouldn't you choose to be in a place where your daughter is better than this", "this" being "me". So Jobu's Joy was a Joy that failed at everything, in a universe where her mother was the ultimate genius, and she went looking for the one universe where her mom failed at everything just like her. So she was looking for someone who's an ultimate failure like her to tell her there's an upside, a reason to go on, that she couldn't see. So no matter where you are in the multiverse, where you are in existence, by becoming everything everywhere all at once, no matter how high you are, you get the feeling of your worst low, at all times and your worst low gets to see first hand at all times all that you'll never have. So nothing you've ever done matters, and nothing you ever did mattered.

I love seeing your reply on every single reaction video for this movie. I stop to read it each time I encounter it because it feels very inspiring.

[@Saphthings]

@@christiandnl Sorry if I was repetitive lol. It hit me once, and it was very eye opening to realize it.

[@instantnoodleskun9336]

Aww this is so nice to read. Very good insight. At first i thought jobu started being jobu because she wanted to find a better mother, a mother who understands her and in the same position as her(forcing her to "break her claypot" so she experience the same thing as her thats why jobu said "so close" when evelyn first died) and also she was afraid of jumping through the bagel alone thats why she got mad when Evelyn decided to stay because once again her mother let her down

[@Saphthings]

​@@instantnoodleskun9336 You’re not wrong. It’s multi layered. Since she was looking for the “worst” one, just like her, her mother let her down because even her worse her was “better” than her. That’s why she ripped her hand away and told her to just stop, and wanted to leave. It was a feeling of, “even her worst her, even the version of her that failed at everything, wouldn’t understand me, and is better than me”. Even the worst one instead of going evil, found hope. It took her mother instead of saying like, “you’re not that bad”, it took her being honest and telling that she truly wasn’t the best, but that she still loved her for Joy to come around. That it all didn’t matter, and that if nothing mattered, then all her failures, all her mess ups, didn’t matter too. That she still wanted to spend time with her, even if it was just some “small specks of time”. It parallels with the end. Her business is failing. The IRS is auditing her. She’s failed at every attempt to make her life better. But nothing matters. She looks at her husband next to her, her daughter is healthy and went with her. Her dad is there. And all those problems are so insignificant, so unimportant, that she even loses focus and enjoys that small speck of time where everything makes sense. All that she’s ever gone through was so that she would be right there, in that moment. The “best her” lost both her husband and daughter. Her rich her had neither. All those bad choices brought her to that brief speck of time, and she enjoyed it. Smiled. And then reality brought her back again and she asks the IRS agent to repeat herself.

[@chelsiemcnatt335]

It’s crazy seeing this comment on so many videos… Jobu is not the “worst” Joy, nor is the Evelyn who created Jobu the “best” one. Your fanfic was kinda entertaining to read, not on every video though. Especially when it wants to be taken as fact, which it’s not.

I think we need to recognize that she had customer oriented parties where she served food and had karaoke. Those were legit business expenses.

Initially, the directors offered Jackie Chan (68) the lead role, which he turned down. Subsequently, the directors cast Michelle Yeoh (60) and Ke Huy Quan (51) and gender-swapped the story. The mother-daughter dynamic is more compelling than the father-daughter or father-son dynamic.

I wanted to watch this movie for a long time, and when I saw you reacted to it I couldn't watch the reaction until I could see it. Thanks for providing me a bit of urgency. I appreciate the personal stories/connections to films. Good films should impact you.

[@mila-oh6in]

I love your guys' discussions at the end, they're lovely. you guys always put so much thought and care into your words and it's beautiful.

I didn’t expect this drop today! So pumped to see your guys’ reaction. This was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen, and is as creative as it gets. I love how I had the exact same perspective as each of you going into this gem 😂

[@withxoutxlife]

Now this was a nifty surprise. Glad you guys posted a reaction to this. Absolutely loved this movie. ^^

[@BaddMedicine]

Thank you and thanks for watching :)

[@Bringmethehorizondude]

Oak is my spirit animal fr. Such a wonderful insight at the end there.

I’d suggest watching cast, director, and crew interviews to learn more about how they made this movie. It’s so fascinating. If I remember correctly, it was filmed pre-pandemic and then edited during the pandemic. Everything was done with small crews (fx, editing, etc.) and a lot of them didn’t have much or any experience working on something of this size before (usually worked on music videos, etc.). The fight choreographers (the two butt plug guys) are the Le brothers, Andy and Brian, and they got their start on KZbin. Andy also played Death Dealer in Shang-Chi (the masked guy in blue who taught Shang to fight as a kid). Brian is the bald security guard in this movie. Then, of course, there’s Ke’s return to acting and Michelle finally getting the kind of role that she’s been waiting for her entire career. Stephanie Hsu is amazing in this movie, Jamie Lee is obsessed with it (just check her socials) and James Hong is still killing it at 93. A bunch of other Asian American actors raised money this year and he finally has a much deserved star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame after a decades long career and being in over 650 films, tv shows, and video games.

Its been a while since i've watched a movie that has taken my breath away. Couldn't hold back my tears. One of my favorite movies aside from The Lord of The Rings trilogy. Love yalls reactions and cant wait to see what you guys react to next.

[@edo27]

great reactions gents! Also, homeboy in the black cap and shirt at 51:14 (i apologize Im new to your channel and am not familiar with names!) said such a good statement re: the message of the film. Never heard it put in that way and it made me stop and think for a bit!!

[@davidbaye3758]

Thank you very much! David is my name…most know me from the channel as The Appleton Oak! Welcome to the channel! -Oak

To me this movie was about suicide, and having something to live for. When u think about life , really that we’re specks on earth and all that, I definitely feel that nothing matters. And u spiral and spiral…into a bagel and suicide potentially. But he idea that nothing matters, so just do what makes you HAPPY , fight like Waymond fights through his grueling life, by being kind, by being happy even though it SUCKS. I was sobbing in the theaters bc I have wanted to go into the bagel so many times and I’ve never had an Evelyn to pull me out, but this movie became my Evelyn. It means so much it me truly

[@LoXHumaN]

Pretty much about Nihilism

[@nikolaiquack8548]

I definitely suggest you guys look up Albert Camus and Absudism. It's a philosophical leaning that basically puts a "positive" spin on the realization that nothing matters. Cause if nothing matters, we're free to live our lives as we want to. There is no greater purpose or meaning in life besides the one we create for ourselves, so let's enjoy living the way we want to.

found this channel when this reaction popped up on my feed, clicked because i’m a huge fan of this film, stayed because of the great dynamic and thoughtful commentary!!

[@BaddMedicine]

Very much appreciated 🤙 thank you!

[@addisonratcatcher3287]

Two hits in a row!!! Loving the reactions. This has become one of my favorite movies

[@emilymcplugger]

The only thing better than watching this movie is watching other people watch this movie for the first time. In summary I always refer to it as “Monty Python presents: It’s a Wonderful Multiverse Life”.

[@dxnes5067]

Loved this movie. Felt so many different emotions while watching it.

[@ministryofzim]

I just saw this myself for the first time. Waymond the husband is played by Ke Huy Quan who was child actor Short Round (Indiana Jones) and Data (Goonies)

[@laurentracy6282]

I finally got to watch this movie on an airplane a couple of weeks ago and I went through all the emotions. It is such a fun, outrageous, funny, beautiful, and heartwarming movie. I truly loved it

[@eddietucker7005]

Looks like I chose the wrong week to stop dropping acid… y’all’s reactions were great. I cannot see it not being nominated for an Oscar for Editing, Cinematography, Writing and possibly Best Actress. I would say make-up and costuming, now those two categories have been merged, but this was released way too early to keep Oscar voters remembering. Look at Toni Collette in Hereditary. She was a locked in nominee, but they released it in summer and it got over shadowed by films released in October or later. On the film, I wished the hotdog hands were real hotdogs instead of foam fingers and Jamie Lee Curtis would have started eating her fingers. That would have been cooler!! It sure did turn into a mix of Hitchhiker’s Guide and Monty Python… and A Fish Called Wanda because of JL Curtis. Thanks guys!!

Wrong week 🤣🤣🤣 -Oak

[@allisonfisher9304]

The scream I scrempt during that *particular* fight scene……I’m so glad I was alone in my house, I was howling🤣🤣 Truly, every scene, every performance, this whole movie is everything. Everywhere, all at once. Masterpiece💖

[@wildpendulum]

It was so funny when you all together shrieked because of paper cut scene

[@BaddMedicine]

Oh that was brutal 😂😂😂

[@JayAshkevron]

I think one of the reasons this movie works so well, is it isn't a multiverse story. I mean yeah thats the back drop. But thats not what the story is about. Its about family, its about despair, its about connection overcoming that despair and a family coming together to stop their daughter from suicide. The multiverse aspect is really cool, and mind blowing. But its not really the story of the movie. And almost no one I know who watched this movie and didn't cry in the end. Its just that good. Everyone of the actors in this movie should have won Oscars for their performances.

[@TheeRighteousOnee]

How did none of you cry? Heartless. 😂

People of color will definitely relate to the moment when our moms tells us we're fat 😂

even if you're just muscular you get called fat lol but then they contradict themselves when they dish a mountain in your plate and ask if you want seconds

The Oaks story about grandfather and grandson is so beautiful and wholesome. We are an individual with Dissociative Identity Disorder and we have lots of trauma around family, so it's good to know decent families exist. Love yallz channel!
