I remember when I saw this in theatres weeks after its release, an older lady with whom I assume to be her daughters (they were noticeably younger) sat next to me and my gf and all three of em were like "Can't wait for how dumb this movie's gonna be" and saying other stuff like that. 2 hours later and I've never seen women hold onto each other so tightly covered in tears in my life 😄

[@thedotgiver2820]

Oh my. Oh how they changed their minds

[@IceMetalPunk]

Yep. I expected this to be a fun little multiversal romp when I saw it. Came out sobbing. It was at home, and my mom was with me; as soon as they said "multiverse", she checked out and went to get food and didn't come back until the end, because she doesn't let herself enjoy multiverse or superhero movies (she thinks they're "too confusing" or "too childish", respectively, from the jump, so she never even bothers to try and pay attention to them). So she got back during the final Evelyn/Joy climax scene and was like, "...what happened? I have no idea what's going on, but that looks good." And I was sitting there crying like, "THAT'S BECAUSE YOU MISSED 2/3 OF THE MOVIE!" 😅

The reason that Evelyn pushed Joy so much is easy: high expectations for children in Asian culture. You push your kids to not only get a 4.0 but also be on several teams and clubs. Go to college early. Become a doctor. All of that. This was the multiverse research version of "My child is exceptional and can take this when other kids can't. We need to research other universes and my child is the only one good enough to handle it."

[@15two]

^^^ plus, the immigrant experience of "i want my kid to succeed and go farther than i did" which also contributes to her pushing joy so much. especially in evelyns case where she views her position in life as wasted potential, she doesnt want joy to end up in what she considers a dead end

This film set their original budget at 25 million dollars, they ended up only spending $14.3 million. You know it is a class A team when they return with the remainder of the budget and say, we didn’t need all of this money. The entire film was edited on Adobe Premiere Pro by a team of 5 amateur editors. The way that they made everything look as real as they did was by making as much of it as real as they could. When Evelyn is jumping between universes- those shots were actually shot in a chair. Then sped up. The Fanny pack fight, very real. He was a stunt director for a couple years, and was excited to learn. Even towards the end where Evelyn has her pinky strength and hits the guy into the air- he was actually lifted by a harness and then dropped down for her to finish the move. Even the sitting on the crack of the couch was real and sped up. We have become dependent on “special effects”. I have said it from the beginning and I will say it forever. Practical effects shoot better on film, they get more genuine reactions from actors, and they are much cheaper.

[@hanaomer4419]

I thought the over reliance on specia effects was cause it was cheaper and or easier. What do you mean it’s more expensive, harder and is worse to look at?

[@iunnoo]

​@@hanaomer4419 The over reliance on special effects is not cheaper, and it's only easier on the actors and higher ups since they don't have to do nearly as much work (making props, choreographing, etc.). Any other mainstream movie company nowadays can get away with this because they usually have high enough budgets to just dump on the FX team to add everything in post, and often times it just looks much worse than if they were to just create the effects practically on set. A lot of recent MCU films are guilty of this.

[@ma.2089]

Pretty sure they used adobe after effects too. Went to SIGGRAPH and they said the egg was, for example, just a 2D asset.

[@ma.2089]

@@hanaomer4419 it’s cheaper cus the pay VFX artists barely anything. And with the amount they demand, the quality isn’t as good.

[@joshuacoldwater]

@@ma.2089 First of all companies have been claiming for YEARS that VFX are cheaper than practical effects- I ask for one film’s receipts that can prove that point. - Nobody will ever respond. Why? Because the truth is, it costs hundreds of millions of dollars to VFX, well, in a film today. Guess what doesn’t cost hundreds of millions of dollars, making practical sets. I will leave you with Lord of the Rings as my final example. Amazing films, and yes they did use VFX. Gollum, the Balrog, the Watcher in the Water, and Shelob were all generated by VFX. The problem is, you can tell. People don’t realize that the pieces of the world that appear very real- were actually built in miniature and scenes were shot in deceptive manors. They built everything from Rivendell, Isengard, Minas Tirith, Lothlórien, Helms Deep, and The Argonath Statues. These places felt real because- well, the miniatures were very real. The price of making something is always less, and if an area looks too dark, you don’t need 17 hours to design a program to lighten it from the correct angle, you just lighten it. Practicality is better. In appearance. Now look at the pricing. The budget for the 3 films was 281 million. 150 million went to VFX. Anyone know what went to practical?…..11 million. It’s not even a race. So, I genuinely don’t care that VFX artists don’t think they are being paid enough. They are being paid HUNDREDS of millions of dollars to produce work that has never once impressed me. It shouldn’t even be a career.

And I love Jamie Lee Curtis, but Stephanie Hsu (Joy) was robbed of that Oscar. She's a revelation in this role.

[@joshuacoldwater]

Stephanie was more than a revelation and I can easily explain the problem, her role TRULY was not a supporting role- it was a lead role. There were groups of people who were campaigning to get her nominated for supporting actress and when I say she just made it, she just made it. What they didn’t realize was that had they campaigned for her to get lead actress she would have made that category, she was only a few votes short. When an actress’ work is split between what people believe to be lead and supporting- they don’t win. This young woman deserves the world, and she was extremely graceful throughout the entire awards season. She won with dignity and celebrated her co-stars with grace.

[@cctomcat321]

I'm glad I caught someone wiping their eyes. This movie gets me every time. It's just so good/chaotic/funny/wholesome. Like they put all the awesome sauces in a blender and it somehow created a masterpiece. I mean, think about it. Just try writing a brief explanation of this movie on paper. It shouldn't have been one of the best movies released that decade? If not top 50. And the budget/team was basically barebones. I think it was like 5 people on VFX team. Like, even just the fannypack scene. "Ok... remember the kid that played Shortround in Indiana Jones? Imagine him in glasses and a fannypack at an IRS place. Security comes to confront the family and Waymond, the kid from Indiana Jones, (yes... Waymond, not Raymond) proceeds to eat some chapstick and push a button on a Bluetooth ear piece to learn Fannypack Kung-Fu Weaponry. He then fights the guards off ending with a stomp on the strap because the clip is in the last guard's nose and gets scorpioned on the ground face first." I'd easily put this in the top 10. Everything was on point. Casting, costume, makeup, cinematography, a sprinkle of meta with a side of just the right amount of self-awareness, stunts, little details, story, googly eyes, and is yet so simple and grounded in a mostly real story about intergenerational trauma and familial and interpersonal relationships.

[@IceMetalPunk]

This movie is so divisive. 9 out of 10 people are sobbing by the end (me ✋), and then the 1 in 10 is just like, "that was dumb, I don't get it". Which I guess is good for them, because it means they've never experienced soul-crushing depression before to truly relate to the characters, so all they saw was butt plugs and hot dog fingers.

[@jaguarstryker1368]

The movie was about overcoming generational trauma and the attitudes we put up with or excused just to placate our families. Especially the generational trauma of children of immigrant parents. I related so much with Joy’s character is it was all I ever wanted. To be able to just be myself in a world where my parents and grandparents and family were all burdened with traditions of our culture, unwilling to grow and just stagnating indefinitely.

[@IceMetalPunk]

My favorite live action movie! And seeing you all cry... yeah. That's what this film does. And it's amazing. I'm glad you abridged Waymond's "be kind" speech or I'd be sobbing yet again from it (but instead I'm just slightly crying 😅). The beginning of the movie was supposed to feel like the overwhelming pressure of anxiety or ADD, and as someone with anxiety: it definitely succeeds at that, at least the parts that aren't outright fear. And as someone with depression (yay, comorbidity 😑), Joy's journey is... heartbreaking. Somehow, there are people who actually don't get that it's about suicide. Jobu literally says, "I created the bagel to destroy myself" and "I wanted to see if I could really die"... and people still argue "it's not about suicide". Of fucking course it is. It's about depression and the numbness that comes with it; the feeling of nihilism when anything that should matter to you no longer does, and life speeds past you to leave you behind, so you figure "fuck it, I'm a failure, might as well disappear into the singularity". But it's also about fighting that. It's about deciding that if nothing matters, then *you get to choose* what matters. And it's about urging us all to be kind, have empathy, and support each other, especially when the other person thinks nothing matters, because that's when they need us most. ...and now I've made myself cry. WTF even is this movie?

With so many movies in this decade doing multiverse stuff, it was this movie that left it in the dust. Ke Huy Quan literally left acting for decades, learned about the works of filming and stunt work, then came back with a most deserved oscar performance. And it was well overdue that Michelle Yeoh got her flowers; between being a Bond Girl, a martial arts master and an action star, she was the first Asian to win an Oscar for Best Actress. As much as Jamie Lee Curtis was great though, Stephanie Hsu (Joy) was robbed of the Supporting Actress Oscar from her fellow costar.

[@IceMetalPunk]

I agree 100% with everything you said. Jamie Lee Curtis was great, but Stephanie should have won that. I suspect Jamie mostly won because of name recognition, which sucks. Stephanie absolutely killed the role so hard it resurrected with hot dog fingers and built a bagel.

When I first saw this film I was disoriented in a really good way. Despite the frantic nature, it made sense. And thinking about it I realized (in my opinion) that this was one of the most brilliantly edited films I had even seen. And I stick to this today. I immediately knew this was an Oscar contender in that category and didn't know if it would clean up at the awards (which, thankfully, it did), but I vehemently thought it was a masterpiece of editing. Because the film would not have made sense otherwise. And to think it was made on a minuscule budget (1/10th the typical cost of a Marvel movie) with literally 5 guys on a laptop doing all the visual effects during the pandemic is a testament to real talent and creativity.

And apparently, that includes a few universes where other sci-fi shit is possible. If talking raccoons who puppeteer humans and hotdog-fingers can be a thing, all sorts of horrible physics-defying nonsense is happening out there, and Jobu is putting up with ALL OF IT, and can't say "no" to the experience.

the subtitles did kinda show it, but it is easy to miss (especially not knowing either language) but a fun background fact: Waymond speaks only Mandarin and English, and that (as well as english) is what Evelyn and Joy speak to him, but GongGong (Evelyn's dad) speaks only Cantonese, and does not seem to understand Mandarin perfectly (Evelyn only speaks Canto to him). This is kinda an extra background on some of the strained relationship and communication issues between them, and also why Joy had such hard time speaking to him (her Canto is worse than her Mandarin) Just a really fun background detail

This is my second favorite movie of all time. Writer Daniel Kwan said they set out to write a movie about chaos and decided to make the main character have undiagnosed ADHD, which, for a woman who wasn't diagnosed until her 40s, hit SO HARD. So hard. So many dreams unrealized, so many times you're told you're just not trying, so many "other things" taking your interest from what you're trying to do. Beyond that, the themes are great. Intergenerational trauma, fighting with love, the nihilism bagel and depression and fighting it by holding onto those "few small specks of time" just. GAH. It should have won ALL the awards (ESPECIALLY COSTUMING! HOW DID IT NOT WIN THAT? THE ELVIS + PIG SHOULD HAVE WON BY ITSELF!) Anyway, this is my favorite movie to watch people react to because it's such an amazing rollercoaster mindfuck. First you're just trying to follow things; you feel the tension, you don't know where things are going to go. Then it's BATSHIT CRAZY. AND HILARIOUS. AND WEIRD. And then things start to tie together and you're still laughing (because they did a GREAT job of inserting levity where needed) but the emotional lessons start hitting you like a ton of bricks. It's wonderful. It's funny. It's thought-provoking. It's a profound ache. It's everything, everywhere, all at once.

One of the emotional revelations I had during this movie was Joy wanted to kill herself indefinitely. But, she was so scared to do it that she tracked down her mom to come with her. I really think she tracked Evelyn down for comfort, and hopefully, to have her own mother show her killing herself isn't the only way forward. Joy wanted comfort in her last moments, and instead, Evelyn dragged her back and showed her life is worth living and to only focus on her life around her. All the big stuff is scary, but the point of life is your family and happiness. It hits me so badly every time I watch this movie. She just wanted comfort, so she tracked her true mother down in the whole MULTIVERSE!

This is my favourite movie even though it came out recently. Now you guys should watch "Lucy" next if you haven't! It kinda has a similar vibe.

[@Wiley_Coyote]

Understanding this movie is easier if you learn that in a slightly earlier version of the script both Joy and Evelyn have ADHD. Arguably they still do in this version, it's just not talked about. Knowing that, there's a very real interpretation that nothing in the film is real other than the wrapping scenes at the beginning and end. Or it's all real. It was originally meant so you could accept that either explanation could be true.

[@alpachinko9154]

I've always thought this is THE generational trauma/neurodivergent simulator people need to see

[@Anarkyfloyd]

41:31 that might look werid to you the western but for Asian people that is very common. just Asian parent be an Asian parent

[@BatBuuD]

Fun fact: the guy that Evelyn gags, is one of the co-directors.

[@IceMetalPunk]

I still wonder if he wrote that into the script to fulfill one of his personal fantasies. Like, "how do I get Michelle Yeoh to spank me? ...wait, I'm writing the script, she can do whatever I want!" 😂

[@cthulhuwu_]

Fun fact! Gong Gong means "maternal grandfather" in Mandarin so he's definitely her dad (which becomes obvious later, of course). The word for paternal grandfather is Ye Ye.

[@ParsureArts]

Oh my gosh, I cried so hard during this movie lmao- super cool to see y’all watch it :D

[@ianperez7668]

Y'all need to watch *The Good Place*. Hilarious, poignant, and with some incredible philosophy underpinning it all.

[@thedernboy]

id say yes but alot would go over their heads n then the long tangents that would arise from chidis talks

@@thedernboy Tangents are just another way for the reactors to be for a little while.

The point of the movie is basically nihilism. Joy going into the bagel was like an Universal suicide. Since she sees everything, see everything and felt everything ALL AT ONCE. She realised that nothing matters, whatever she did...or didn't do....across the vast multiverse...nothing will equate to anything. That's why she wanted peace by dying. That's also why Evelyn let her go the firts time. Because THAT specific universe Evelyn...was the WORST Evelyn across the multiverse, every choice she made was a wrong choice...every choice she didn't tske branched out into a successful or better life. That's why she understood why Joy wanted to end it all. Because even she herself doesn't enjoy her life. But with flashbacks of her husband and her daughter....she realised that even though everything went wrong and they weren't happy. NOTHING matters. As in, even though they may have nothing..even though they may be the worst version of themselves...it still matters. And she convinced Joy that...there may be some universe out there where they were less pieces of shyt...a universe where everything is right and they were happy. She will still chise THAT universe, the one where all is wrong...the one where she was the worst version of herself because even THAT universe matters because NOTHING matters. She will still choose that universe and want to be with her daughter... and will ALWAYS want to be with her. And that was all Joy ever wanted to hear....because she wanted someone to tell her that life's worth living. Hence...why she went looking for Evelyn in every universe. Evelyn convinced her that Nothing...was still worth living

Please react to Legendary's Monsterverse movies and Godzilla Minus One!

I can't help but be happy for Ke Huy Quan. Guy starred in two classic movies as a kid, couldn't find satisfying acting work, had to drop his health insurance shortly after filming this movie because he couldn't afford it, and now is enjoying an amazing renaissance largely because he absolutely killed it in this movie. I mean, everyone brought their A game, but everyone loves Waymond.

[@theghostofuchiha1496]

Ke Huy Quan is such a great actor man. Soo damm endearing.

1:07:58 a judges hammer is the most insane murder weapon and i love it

[@RealmOfUnknown]

This came out around the same time as Multiverse of Madness, Disney could never do this if they tried

[@johndamenillusionist4342]

Movie was more like 'Nothing, Nowhere, at Random Intervals' to me. Just didnt click with me.

[@justinehercthehuman]

How in the world did you guys manage to keep the video up without censoring the dealdos HAHAHAHA

[@_Goyle]

Simply put, it’s some of the best emotional whiplash we’ll get to experience in a film 😂

[@ozzieoster_wav]

When's the next Adventure Time video coming out??? (No pressure!)

[@emberwoodruff9698]

I love the end credits music here. It's so powerful feeling and the message fits the movie perfectly, yet can be listened to separately. Also Mitski is always a W

46:30 Raccacooni's tail is sticking out the hat, how did I miss that?

[@duelangel5318]

You guys should watch the birdcage, since its free on youtube at the moment. Its a great movie with Robin Williams. Plus its a good month to watch it

[@Wolvy114]

I went to see this movie on a whim with my girlfriend at the time, not knowing anything about it beforehand. I've never left a theater feeling more like my life had changed from a movie. It was such an experience that I'll cherish forever.

There's a reason why the laundry and taxes line still see so much use these days.

[@alpachinko9154]

The best generational trauma/neurodivergent simulator out there ATM. Engineered a lil family intervention using this a few months ago. I see the actions they all "randomly" take as a representation of stimming, as they can sometimes not be understood by outsiders, but to the person doing the behaviour, it's their way of accessing a part of themselves. Evelyn getting distracted constantly and not being able to follow through on dreams/tasks screams executive dysfunction/ADHD and the bagel seems to represent depression. The underlying story of the mother/parents pushing their child so far that they "broke" them is common in most immigrant families, but especially prevalent in east Asian/Asian culture. Glad you also enjoyed the comedy and fight scenes, the fight choreography being done by KZbinrs/stunt men "martial club" who also did the fight choreography and stared in "Shang chi". Brian and Andy Le are making it, and as a subscriber I'm happy to see it.

[@revangerang]

This film is so real. Evelyn being (meta)physically YANKED between universes is literally how it feels to be interrupted during ADHD hyper-focus. And doing something moderately uncomfortable like putting your shoes on the wrong feet or even completely impossible/unhinged like breaking your own arm is how it can feel struggling with executive dysfunction. Even with my time blindness, doing different tasks can honestly feel like I'm "verse jumping" because nothing exists outside of the Now, so when I'm stuck doing laundry/taxes my brain perceives it as the neverending laundry/taxes groundhog day from hell.

[@alpachinko9154]

@@revangerang Yup. I feel this. Or, you finally get started on that thing you either really want or need to do, and outside influences want to pull you away, and don't care/realise how much time/energy it took to get started in the first place 😅

[@jaguarstryker1368]

Cinebinge just reacted to The Game! I love that movie

[@doug3318]

Evelyn, at the end, can choose to live in any universe but chooses to stay in the one that’s just taxes and laundry - because nothing matters except for what matters to you 😭 🥺

[@thatunknownindividual4554]

This is my absolute favorite movie! I love it so much.

I saw this with my boyfriend in theatres, and I think it hit both of us kind of hard in different ways. We didn’t know what to expect but it honestly surpassed all expectations-

[@therealmanos]

Can't wait! I love this film. Hope you do more Michelle Yeoh films in the future. Police Story Supercop, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Heroic Trio, Magnificent Warriors.

[@lizettelopez1847]

On the subject of gendered language the mexican Spanish i grew up with is very gendered but depending on the context a feminine word is used even if you mean all people. An example is when Jennifer Lopez got memed on when she used the phrase "mi gente latino" because in that context the feminine phrase "mi genta latina" is the correct way to say it. I can't imagine going from a language with very little gendered language to one where the context and the subject don't even have to match gender.

[@IceMetalPunk]

This brings up a question I've had for a bit now: in Spanish, if you're describing a person as an object, but the gender of the object doesn't match the gender of the person, how do you work that? For instance, if you're describing a man as a table, like Tommy the Table, would you say "Tommy la Mesa", or would you masculinize it to something like "Tommy el Meso"?

[@Internetrando01]

​@@IceMetalPunk Feminine-gendered objects don't make them female and masculine-gendered objects don't make them male; they're objects. The gendered language isn't really telling you that it's either a girl or boy

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@Internetrando01 So it would be "Tommy la Mesa", then, is what you're saying?

[@Internetrando01]

@@IceMetalPunk Yep that'd be how'd you say it, it only tells you the gender if your talking about an specific person or animal such as The (female) baby being "La Bebe" or the small (male) dog being "El Perro Pequeño". If it is more than one specific person and it's a group you go with the masculine gendered-word unless it's a group of all female people. With animals it just depends on the gender if the animal's name
