My little brother was the music editor on this film, it was a labor of love for everyone involved, so happy to see it find an audience!

[@funnylilgalreacts]

Omg he did a phenomenal job!!!

[@calebritchie1069]

The music on this film was just fucking brilliant. The Claire de lune “I love yous” is one of my favorite scoring moments EVER!

[@chuckkourouklis1980]

So it was YOUR LITTLE BROTHER who cut in the Portsmouth Sinfonia "Also Sprach Zarathustra" over the 2001 Space Odyssey send-up, where the hot dog-digit primates killed off the bony-fingered ones? THAT ALONE qualifies him as a f---ing *GENIUS.* kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnqmcmBji56mqqc Then, of course, there's the *rest* of the film...

[@bee4590]

your little brother and _every_ person on the cast deserve awards when the season arises. literally every moving part of this movie deserves recognition-the music, the cinematography, the lighting, the costume design, the writing, the casting, all of the actors individually... congrats to your brother for such a stellar job, i look forward to seeing everyone's future endeavors and how this film alone shakes up the industry and inspires creativity

[@Patriiiiick]

It’s small thing, but the universe she saw without Waymond is literally a “universe without Joy”. Every single thing about this movie keeps getting better and better

[@funnylilgalreacts]

OMG. That felt like a gut punch reading that. Literally no Joy without Waymond. I'm still being surprised by this movie....

When people say there's nothing "new or creative" in film anymore, they've clearly not seen this film. I'll be so disappointed if it doesn't get at least a nomination for Best Picture at the Oscars to reward that inventiveness.

[@chrisash]

I agree!! It deserves a number of awards, including Best Picture and Editing. I think it'll be penalized for um, content, and go home with best editing (and maybe directing!)

[@mowgli6345]

When people say this I'm pretty sure they're talking about major Hollywood productions. A24 has a pretty good track record of taking solid creative risks. The Hollywood machine doesn't make creative projects anymore because it's too monetarily risky. But plenty of alternative film productions from Amazon to Netflix, and smaller production companies like A24 create constantly new and refreshing projects. So big picture companies stick to existing widely known IP's because it's guaranteed to sell tickets.

[@BigDawg3193]

I’ll be surprised if this movie doesn’t clean house come awards season! I don’t normally care about the Oscars, but given his acting journey, I really hope Ke Huy Quan gets best supporting actor. He deserves it.

[@jksgameshelf3378]

I'm guessing it will pay off big time at the Independent Spirit Awards, and maybe a lot of Critic Awards, but I do hope there are Oscar nominations for just about everyone.

[@curtisbme]

There are no categories that it shouldn't be nominated for, and it would need to be an amazing competitor to beat it in any. Only problem is there are three women and only two categories so two of them have to compete.

[@ISavant]

I had no idea what to expect going into this movie, I had just heard people rave about it, didn't watch the trailer, all I know was it has something to do with a multiverse. And even while watching it I had no idea at the start that I'd be crying my eyes out for basically the last half hour. This was like a complete reframing of nihilistic existentialism, if nothing matters, it falls upon everyone to make it matter to ourselves. I legit could probably watch this movie again and again and not get sick of it, and that's rare in itself.

[@AL-fl4jk]

This. So much this. For those of us that struggle with a feeling of hopelessness or pointlessness it was a good reminder that joy in life is our own responsibility

Adding those sneaky obi-wan googly eyes was delightful

Amazing!!! I’m about to see it for the fourth time next week, I’m amazed you saw it 15 times-how awesome 🤍

[@scottlouis]

I was lucky to catch this in theaters. It was amazing. We were all laughing, bawling and sniffling. Waymonds part absolutely broke me. When she can’t understand how he helped and his voice breaks when he says, “idk. I just talked to her.” 🥺🥺 Then we see all the little moments of his kindness and silliness that makes her happy. That’s what they were both missing. Her and Joy. Remember when Joy says that’s why she was looking for her mom? To see if she could see something that she missed. They weren’t seeing Waymonds kindness. Also, the bagel represents Joys despair and depression. At the end, it’s super important that it’s Joy who reaches out for her moms hand. She wants help. Then Joys speech about letting her go? Omg the actress is so good. Then their embrace being shown with planets colliding? Like it’s saying that’s just as powerful? So beautiful. I’m crying all over again. Lol 🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭

[@alvinnnliu]

Though as a native Chinese, I saw and got a little bit "extra" from the movie, such as the dialog in Chinese, and the song Waymond hummed as sweeping the smashed glass near the end. But eventually this isn't just a movie about Chinese or Asian American or immigrants, it's about the universal thingy we can feel and grasp as a human, it's about love. Truly a masterpiece. Thank you for this lovely reaction video!

[@Makawav]

Not even just love. That’s important too. I hope everyone finds it. But waymond said it best “Just be kind”. You don’t have to love, you don’t even have to like someone to be kind to them. Do not mistake this for being a push over. There are many situations where you can, and MUST fight back. Where love is not enough. That kindness needs to take the wheel. That’s my take-away anyways.

[@AnotherScribbler]

@@Makawav It’s interesting that I am currently listening to a (very deeply researched, labor of love) historical fiction series about an angry young man striving to be a knight in medieval Europe… and that element of patience and kindness, buried in ambition & youthful impatience early on as he learns his trade in the midst of terrible scenarios, is what he strives to nurture in himself as the books go on.

[@revangerang]

@@Makawav I think kindness is a type of love. What you're talking about, where kindness takes the wheel in fighting, is often called "tough love," after all.

[@Makawav]

@@revangerang sorry but I have to disagree. While kindness can certainly be a form of love, that doesn’t mean it always is. Giving money to a panhandler is kind. Doesn’t mean love, though surely it can. I’m gonna leave that there, but I have a better example. A person you actively dislike trips and falls. Do you walk on by, or do you give them a hand up? And if you do, was that an act of love? I feel as though the message is more, even if you aren’t feeling the love in the moment, be kind anyways. Our minds go to all sorts of places, and we get frustrated and depressed and otherwise wrapped up in ourselves. Give it an honest shot to be kind even in those low moments. At its more pure, of course being kind is an act of love. But I don’t think it’s universally applicable in that sense.

[@revangerang]

@@Makawav I can see why you feel that way. I personally think it is, though. In the examples you gave, it might not be an expression of love for that person, but it is surely an act of universal love for your fellow humans, imo. But I think this film believes it goes even deeper than that. It tells us that in the very first thing Evalyn has to do- confess her love for Deirdre, her hated enemy- and mean it. And she does mean it, when it ultimately works. So much so that the mantra of "I love you I love you I love you" in the background music takes the form of Clair de lune- the song Deirdre is playing on the piano during a moment of pure love in the universe where they are actual lovers.

[@Plexippuspetersi92]

The only thing more universal than its themes, is the universal aversion to paper cuts. Not everyone cried in the theater I went to, but rest assured everyone WINCED.

I can't remember where I read this, but I believe the directors wanted to try to make acts of kindness just as compelling as any John Wick movie. I think they succeeded

During the paper-cut scene nearly everyone in the theater was cringing SO hard, writhing around and contorting, lol. I dunno why but that really seems to affect people!

This movie is just so phenomenal on so many levels. I've been trying to process it for weeks, and I still think of new things I like about it. I have no idea how this story was put together so fantastically well. It really is (somehow? absurdly?) Everything Everywhere All At Once

Your analysis, your reactions throughout, the joy - disgust - shock- heartbreak...you gave us (say it with me guys) Everything. Love the movie, really glad it impacted you this way.

[@RickLeMon]

It's one of my all-time favorite movies. Beyond all the indescribable beauty and chaos of the movie as a whole, there is that feeling of slowly building exhaustion that never quite goes away and the disappointments you never quite get over. And sometimes the easiest thing to do would be to let yourself just drown in the existential depths. But I think Waymond is right; when you don't know what is going on and you don't know what to do, just try kindness. And maybe you can start to heal your own pain and the pain you've caused others.

[@TrailerParkBros]

"In another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you". That broke me

[@thechosenone3852]

It's just genius how they turned "nothing matters" as a negative thing into "NOTHING MATTERS" as a positive thing! 🤯

[@Dirkus17]

When I first saw this movie in the cinema a few weeks ago I went in virtually blind. And on first viewing there was so much going on that I don’t think I got it all. But it absolutely got all of me. Now I’ve seen it many, many times (and it still never fails to make me cry), and I hoover up reaction videos on KZbin because I want to enjoy other people experiencing it for the first time. As a result I have come across your channel for the first time, and you have absolutely nailed it, funnylilgal. Spot on in your reactions, analysis, humour and emotion - and the little editing jokes are even a little bonus. Another great find.

I just got my copy last night and watched it for the first time and was equally blown away. I've since watched some of the press junkets and even the cast couldn't understand it when they read the script and shot it, but in the end they realized it was about love, so that's about as succinct a description as I can think of.

[@sifu2u_now]

You truly got the story on a first watch. All spot on. With all the chaotic universe jumping, at the end is all about the mending of a family that has started to see a crack. This is a movie that just had the whole universe aligned. The cast, the script, the acting,production/set design, fantastic Editing,costume,makeup, fight choreography, cinematography, lighting and vfx, that only had 5 talented people working remotely during the covid period. It certainly put Marvel to shame with what they can do with 1/6 of the budget. And lastly, the Soundtrack by Son Lux blew my mind. The Daniels has done it again...please watch " Swiss Army Man" which was another movie directed by them before this one.

[@davidmichaelson1092]

I was so not prepared for this movie. I had low expectations...I was blown away. Crying, laughing, cringing, sometimes all at once. Watching people react to it is so much fun because I KNOW the moments they start to realize the ride is beyond anything they expected.

[@reverance_pavane]

An absolutely brilliant movie that frees the audience from the constraints of mere reality through whiplash absurdity in order to leave them free to actually feel. I do hope it gets a boatload of Oscars, but I suspect it won't, due to it being too weird for a lot of people. Although I'll be particularly upset if Ke Huy Quan doesn't get best supporting actor at the very least.

[@rboyer9]

The fact that this movie and the three main people (Michelle, Ke Huy, and Stephanie) aren't getting more hype for awards makes me tremendously sad. This movie was extremely original, had a great story, and the actors were amazing. On top of all that, it made you feel while presenting absurd things, but at no time did the movie or the characters feel like a joke. I was super angry when Fargo and Pulp Fiction didn't win Oscars, and this one will be right there with them should it fail to win. There aren't that many movies better than it in the history of movies, let alone this year.

[@raffaelecafiero3608]

It got seven major oscars. It was so good, so unique that the Academy had no choice.

[@RicoRaynn]

This and '1917' are probably the only two films I would rate as 'masterpieces' that have come out in the last few years. From the performances to the camera work, those two pushed the industry a little further into what was possible. This was also a heartwarming tale which got me misty eyed more than a few times. Didn't hurt that it had my favorite actress in Michelle Yeoh. Still the greatest Bond girl of all time. And Ke Huy Quan deserves a best supporting actor award for this role. Simply slayed it.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

I think fixing her relationship with her husband was much more touching because Waymond is a really nice guy who loves his family, but his wife was losing interest in him because she started believing her father was right that Waymond was too weak, but it took the other Universe's successful Waymond to convince her that he wasn't weak at all and that being kind is his biggest strength. And that he would've gave up all his successes in a heartbeat just to be with her. I'm gonna watch this movie again. I loved it. It might be up there as my top 5 movies of all time now. Lol

Oh, FLG, you are so exquisite in your reactions. Don't think I have anything cohesive on what the film is about either, but I can offer one admiring observation on the mechanics of its storytelling: in dazzling, perplexing, and constantly surprising your rational mind, it finds openings to bypass your distracted objectivity and impact your emotions more directly. That's a big reason the more poignant scenes hit like a jack hammer, I think. A little nuanced intimacy goes an amazing long way in this film.

Great reaction! Just to add this because I've never seen a Reactor actually pick up on it. The whole 'I'm sorry it's a girl' comment is because for a period of time, due to overcrowding within their Nation, China implemented a 1 Child Per Family law. As a result, and because most families expected the Male child to carry on the family name, if their 1st born child was Female they would kill that child, most often drowning them in rivers :( A very dark time in China's history.

I had waited for Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness for so long, and then it turned out it was not the best multiverse movie that came out this year. Sure, maybe I am biased, since I suffer from depression and thus could relate to Joy and have also ADHD and thus could relate with Evelyn.

[@SKYWalkersSG]

in years to come, this movie will be a required study for cinema school, and for psychology, how absurdism in cinema, paired with juxtaposing deep emotions, makes the audience more empathetic to the characters. the Daniels said that if you can believe and empathize with the protagonists in a hot dog hands universe, your empathy is much stronger and more deeply impactful. essentially you would have looked beyond the surface (Asian immigrants family, hot dog hands, the rocks) and identify with the core message, that's why so many non-Asians, non-immigrants, identify with the theme of love, family, stress and kindness. P.S. The Daniels said "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is their number 1 favorite film.

It was a lot of fun watching you react to this! My parents are both Chinese immigrants too (though to Canada) and though they're the hardest working people I've ever known, they're also very strict and demanding, and easy to anger but otherwise very emotionally reserved. I ended up much more 'Waymond'-like, my dad is quite the opposite. But Michelle's character was more or less spot on for my mom, haha. Most of my immediate family did actually say "you're getting fat" growing up. If you haven't seen it, I would highly, highly recommend a movie called "Synecdoche, New York". It's hard to say it's 'similar' to this film, but there are a lot of parallels in the exploration of existential themes and life and relationships, as well as the absurdist dark humour. I will say that the two are very alike in the sense that they are both absolutely and beautifully unique, and an absolute wonder to experience. I don't know that it'd win any polls or whatnot as it's not the most widely known, but it is such a beautiful movie that I really hope you'll react to it! Astounding Phillip Seymour Hoffman performance! What I'd consider to be his Magnum Opus.

Speaking from personal experience, I don’t think I have ever seen a better encapsulation of what it feels like to have ADHD, and how we are treated by people who don’t have it, from a big Hollywood movie. It quickly became one of my favorite movies because of that.

this is my favorite movie. thanks for the reaction in advance

[@MCMNasty2]

Hahaha! Loved that you had the googly eyes on Ewan!

[@Eefrit101]

Just in case nobody told you this today - you're amazing. Please keep up.

I'm so glad I got to first see this film in IMAX with a big crowd at a special pre-release screening. What an amazing movie-going experience it was on a huge screen with a big sound system and all the reactions from the audience. I agree with you and thought the same thing about how on earth this was edited. Just got the blu-ray and the BTS videos and director's commentary are great. I'm still hoping for even more content in a Criterion release in the near future.

What a fantastic movie💜💜

41:58 love what the editor did!!!!!

I’m going to be rewatching this a lot. Someone brought up that the googly eyes are the opposite of the everything bagel. Black center on white background verse the white center and black bagel.

I love this film. It's a family drama on an acid trip.

The acting, direction and story were all great, but the cinematography and editing were completely next level.

[@DariusFrench6273]

With a comical whimsical ambience laced alongside so many salivating tender narrative bones to boot, Daniels takes this movie through so many completely different styles that rarely work together in the past and squeegees the most important elements from each genre to give this multilayered inventive project the scope and scale it calls upon. In this manner, without having to physically force the puzzle pieces to fit, they lean into the absurdity of the worlds they have created, always reaching for the most outlandish possibilities and never playing it safe while carrying a therapeutic energy in their direction throughout. We have a frenetic stream of dialogue that somehow keeps pace with breakneck action sequences, which are both delightfully wacky but exquisitely executed, the swapping color palettes help make every select scene feel as surreal and acid-inducing as possible with a pat of beauty, the narrative manages to be exciting and outrageously wild but reasonable within its own multiverse contexts and how every single frame of unconventional cinematography and editing is in natural equilibrium is beyond me. The production design is boundless, yet united by a lighthearted vision, sound design and music symbolically convey psychology through silence, volume, and echoes, the multifaceted effects contribute to the ambitious atmosphere and all the performances are frothingly salivating. It takes a lot for a movie to get me to cry multiple times during viewing. The most I normally cry is once. Even now as I’m talking about it, I’m tearing up.

[@guregury]

Probably my favorite movie of all time honestly.

[@BigDawg3193]

Such an amazing movie! Another great reaction vid 👍

[@SchulzEricT]

I've watched this movie once. And I've watched people react to it something like 3 or 4 times now. Every time I watch this movie, I can't help but notice: those fucking noodles look fucking good, man. I want some of those noodles.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

Are you watching it high LOL

[@SchulzEricT]

@@funnylilgalreacts Nah. Just hungry. Hungry for those fucking delicious looking noodles.

[@TrueVoyager1]

Just watched this film last night. There's literally a fight scene featuring dudes with trophies shoved up their asses, yet I balled my eyes out by the end. 10/10.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

It’s magical somehow 😂😂

[@safespacebear]

The first time I watched it I felt like I had watched a film directed by all my favorite directors at once. It was very impressive that in all the absurdity it told a very common tale of family and the ties that bind. Those stories, that are universal always hit harder.

I am so happy that this movie is doing so well on the awards circuit. Fun facts: The ChapStick Waymond eats is white chocolate dyed pink. Racacoonie is voiced by Randy Newman, the singer, songwriter and composer of many Pixar movies. The home run sound effect from super smash bros can be heard when Evelyn uses her pinky strength to send a guy flying in the air.
