[@Lari_A]

This movie is based on existentialism and a branch of it called absurdism - which has two branches: if nothing matters, then we're insignificant pieces of shit (bagel); but also, if nothing matters, then why shouldn't we enjoy our life to the fullest, despite all the bad stuff? (googly eyes). Yep, a movie where we have butt plugs as a plot point has psychology and philosophy as a base. Love it with all my heart! I recommend reading on absurdism if anyone's interested. I think it's one of the most interesting and most fun to study theories out there! Also, Michelle Yeoh is the GOAT. Did all her stunts herself at 60. Amazing actress all around.

[@gato_bry]

[@AlvinTOS]

Isn't the first one (bagel) nihilism but the second one absurdism?

[@Lari_A]

@@AlvinTOS I think there's some difference depending on what sources you find. I studied it at uni and absurdism was the theory, while there were those two branches I mentioned, based on some books and articles we've read. But there's people and other sources you find who will say nihilism and absurdism are seperate. Ultimately I think the concept of life being absurd is the general thing/theory, so you're correct either way you view or study it. :)

[@Mrgramzo96]

Just to add to this. For anyone that actually wants to read about absurdism then check out "The Myth of Sisyphus" by Albert Camus. His views greatly contributed to the rise of absurdism. I'll leave you all with a quote from him that showcases a bit of his view on the world and the absurd. “The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” ― Albert Camus

[@We_see_all]

20:04 That's how it felt for her daughter. Everytime she wanted to have a serious conversation, her mother (protagonist), would interrupt it - ignore her - not taking things seriously. Never noticed this detail. Brilliant

[@waccle8335]

I just realized that Evelyn's _Googly Eyes_ represent the complete antithesis of Joy's _Everything Bagel._ Just looking at it literally: a white circle with a black center [googly eyes] against a black circle with a white center [bagel]. Where Joy built an ultimatum to end herself in the chaos, Evelyn did the complete opposite-- by completely understanding everything... and rectifiying all of the chaos herself. Both are completely valid reactions to their experiences, and the metaphysical argument is just so entertainingly compelling. It revolves, destroys, contradicts and permeates across how one perceives the absolute stimuli of **literally fucking everything** stemming from the notions of absurdist optimism (Evelyn's 👀) and depraved nihilism (Joy's ♾️🥯). They both are complete and utter inverses to/for each other; yet encapsulate the crux of generational trauma, emotional hypocrisy and philosophical loneliness. The irony of it all is that... the farther they were, (both metaphorically and literally) the closer they became. The most absurd mother-daughter dynamic in the best-est way possible. It's so brilliantly stupid and wholesome. You can befit yourself as a god among life, sure. However, this film teaches us that unresolved mommy issues transcend time and space itself. It's hilarious, insightful, ironic, emotional, beautiful and pretty much everything all at once. I swear to fucking Jobu Tupaki, I am going to rewatch this film a 100+ times across my lifespan in this pathetic existence-- and still laugh, analyze and cry along the way. No matter how chaotic it is. No matter how weird it gets. Or how lonely we end up as. Even if we manage to discover something that'll make us feel like even smaller pieces of shit-- just as Waymond said, "to simply be kind" brings balance to the never-ending, endless endlessness of it all. EEAAO makes such a simple message chaotically dive into a maddening journey, only to leave you with the simple feeling of it all being... so damn rewarding. A billion paragraphs in a million multiverses cannot properly convey much how I fucking love this movie, dude. My only complaint that I want [[[& also NOT want]]] to know is... does the hotdog finger universe (with the feet piano people) reproduce by *secreting* the mustard/ketchup to each other...? Yeah??? Just imagining it makes me wanna die. The one thing I truly hate about this movie LMFAO 49:57 Just like Lupa said, don't dwell on it. 💀 Just be a rock. ... but, anyway, 10/10 movie. A24 can't be stopped. Glad y'all vibed with this film just as much as I did!

[@YY-jk4nv]

Had to reply cuz your comment was great and loved the introspective analysis

[@jaieantoniano1122]

Amazing analysis

[@danielep.4076]

love this analysis, but i want to point out - they weren't originally evelyn's googly eyes. they were Waymond's. He was always putting them up around the laundromat as a tiny source of levity and joy. she adopted that symbol once she adopted his philosophy of trying to do good and be kind

[@enriquemagdaleno7885]

It’s phenomenal how this movie captures everything you said while still creatively using the sci-fi genre as a medium to explore inter-generational struggle. Imagine dumping so much on your daughter that you make her transcend into an extrauniversal deity, that’s a potent metaphor for what many immigrant parents subject their kids to, all the trauma all the baggage held by both parent and child. This movie does it soooo smoothly. Truly, it’s faultless.

[@_ripVanWinkle_]

I thought the googly eyes was her accepting Waymond's antic of putting googly eyes on everything and accepting to fight with kindness instead of bullets

[@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.

[@blade7y156]

In fact when we shift our perspective, the alphaverse is the worst. It's the only one living an apocalypse, Alpha Evelyn may have been a genius but she was overall and insensitive mother who put way too much pressure on her daughter to the point she quite litterally broke her, Alpha Chong Chong is an extremist willing to kill his own daughter without even consider the other possibilities and Alpha Waymond, the most interesting to analyse, is also insensitive and way worse than any of the other Waymond we've seen, because he is the only one to see violence as a solution.

[@Sabbathtage]

Minor note: It's Waymond that keeps bringing the cookies. Another example of how he uses the power of kindness.

[@tif8266]

During Evelyn's flashback the Kung fu master tells her "Even this cookie can be kung fu" (or something like that)

[@ERRORCODE616]

I just gotta commend the Daniels for having the cojones to pitch this insane acid trip of a movie to older industry legends like Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis, and James Hong. And they took it and ran with it. And had a great time, if their interviews are anything to go by. Glad you guys liked it.

[@redandpurple317]

Michelle Yeoh said in an interview that she got emotional reading the script, because she felt that someone finally understood that she had range and could do so much more than what she's been given to work with for most of her career. To quote her directly : "This is something I've been waiting for. To be funny, to be emotional, to be real. Finally someone understood that I could do all those things. It was an opportunity to show my fans, my audience, my family, what I was capable of." That's beautiful.

I love the MCU, but when a superhero movie called Multiverse of Madness isn't even the best multiverse movie of the last 3 months, and the one that is has only 12% of the budget, something's wrong. "Everything" surprised the hell out of me with how good it was (I was expecting it to be just kinda okay).

@@liamho1693 What really makes this a fun fact is that he retired from acting because of the lack of opportunities given to Asian actors, which makes me so happy he landed a major role in a film about multiverse hopping to make his comeback. The multiple versions of Waymond need an actor who can handle comedy, drama, fight scenes and delivering absolutely ridiculous exposition with a straight face equally well, and he also needs to play several subtly different versions of the protagonist universe's Waymond when they jump to different universes where nothing weird is happening. He nails all of it, which feels like a huge, but still classy "fuck you" to everyone in the industry who refused to consider him for a worthwhile role.

[@blade7y156]

That's almost the same Joy in every universe, because Jobu Tupaki is every Joy she visits, and the Alpha Joy that broke in pieces. So yes she would have committed suicide in every universe she exists in, even as a rock.

[@qwertyuiopz123]

I think it can be also interpreted that Joy was killing the bond between her mother. Joy wanted to be "free" from the shackles of her mom's expectations of her and wanted to go separate ways - which often happens with 1st generation immigrants. Rock Evelyn jumped because she didn't want to abandon Joy as Gong abandoned her.

[@Allonsy305]

There are very few films I emotionally relate to. This is by far one of them. The kind of cynicism that her daughter had is almost too relatable for me, someone who suffers from depression but tries to stay positive.

I completely agree that it's a 10/10.

What's even more profound is that when she first had to face Joy, she did so actually by trying to understand her. She jumped to the farthest end of the multiverse to experience a life in which she was gay, to connect with her daughter (and to save her). That was the true superpower of that world

Besides an interesting theme done well (multiverse), over-the-top hilarious action sequences, great editing and heartwarming drama, it's philosophically thought-provoking too. It tells the opposing approach to existentialism that questions our life's purpose and cripples most of us. Pessimistic nihilism vs. optimistic absurdism. The yinyang of everything bagel (black outside, white inside) vs google eyes (white outside, black inside). Empty void inside vs pure core inside. "Nothing matters so might as well destroy everything" vs "Nothing matters so might as well enjoy life". Waymond taught Evelyn and us the latter.

Just a fact about the line "I'm sorry, it's a Girl" - It's is because of the One Child Policy in China, where you are only allowed to have one child to help control population. A lot of parents hope for a Boy so they can carry on their name/lineage.

[@javencummins1426]

I thought it was two children. Was it changed?

[@himum3429]

@@javencummins1426 It was changed, but the opposite way. It was initially ONE child but then it later became TWO children. I think it may actually be THREE now but take that with a grain of salt as I'm not fully sure. At the time of Evelyn's birth it would have probably still been ONE.

[@dysn3961]

I love how this movie really just travels down existential philosophy in the same pacing as being in a conversation, where you have the conversationist Alphaverse being resistant to change, going to Jobu who approaches the world that there is no inherent truth to reality and develops a nihilist perspective, and then to Evelyn who accepts that too, but through love and connection with others turns that nihilism into absurdism In a sea of marvel movies and remakes, it feels so refreshing to have a film like this

There’s probably a universe out there Roshi didn’t throw it back on stream and now they living in paradise. Gas prices ain’t go up nor the cost of living.

I know that I'm too late to the party but as you're reading this message, I've just experienced this movie for myself and I gotta say, out of all the movies A24 made like Civil War, Uncut Gems and Midsomnar, this is the magnum opus of ALL of them. This is the epitome of being one of the greatest masterpieces of a movie I've ever watched in my life.

[@freddiegibbs101]

Is this the most creative movie of all time? The sheer audacity and vision to conceive of something like this, and the execution is beyond staggering. Fuck Marvel/Dr. Whoever, this puts almost everything that's come before it to shame. Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Editing, Best Original Screenplay, Best Costumes, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound ... call it in, this movie is sweeping the Oscars.

[@liamho1693]

I am fairly certain that this is going to win Best Picture because I don't see any other film coming out this year with the same caliber, and it checks all the boxes. Plus, The Academy nowadays often goes with universally beloved films like Green Book, Parasite and CODA, not to mention this film grows on people and people won't get tired of it. Also, it will most likely get Best Original Screenplay. And now imagine Ke Huy Quan executing a POWER move by being absent for more than two decades just to come back to win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor! I don't see it sweeping but I see a clear path for this film getting a neat little package.

[@errwhattheflip]

I agree with best visual effects, and best picture. Definitely not best sound considering that both Top Gun Maverick and The Batman have far superior sound design. I would also say that The Northman, The Batman, and Top Gun Maverick edge it out in terms of editing. As for screenplay, probably. I think it could win best original screenplay, tho I'm not at all sure.

[@lotusinn3]

You shouldn’t expect an Oscar sweep considering how adventure and sci-films films are regarded, even the best ones.

[@errwhattheflip]

@@lotusinn3 I mean, plenty of sci-fi films are held in really high regard like Blade Runner, 2001, Blade Runner 2049, etc.

[@lotusinn3]

@@errwhattheflip Exactly, yet few of them sweep the award shows or even get the “Big 5” Oscar categories, even when they may warrant it. At most they get sound design, cinematography, and other technical categories. There is a genre bias when it comes to the storytelling aspect. Which hurts to see as a sci-fi fan.

[@ishigami_senku]

Fun fact: Throughout the show, you’ll see a lot of circles; the everything bagel, the googly eyes, the circular fan and lamps in Evelyn’s house, the circular mirror you see at the beginning, the windows of the washing machines in their laundromat, and the circle that Deirdre (Jamie Lee Curtis) drew on a receipt. Now, in Ancient Chinese culture, it was believed that circles represent “harmony, the balance of the yin and yang, and the duality of nature.” Therefore, the bagel and the googly eyes can be seen as the yin and yang. Jobu Tupaki created the bagel (black circle) as her tool to destroy the multiverse after she discovered the meaninglessness of life despite all the hopes and dreams. Meanwhile, the googly eyes (white circle) that Waymond puts up around the laundromat is a source of some levity amidst the cruelty of life. I would also like to mention that Evelyn quoted at the Chinese New Year party: “another year pretending we know what we’re doing but really we’re just going in circles.” [Credits to Damarin from the Normies for bringing up that the circle can be seen everywhere throughout the movie in their reaction, to that one commenter under this video who told about their analysis of what the bagel and the googly eyes could possibly mean, and to the multiple sources where I got the other details from.]

[@lakotagrywlf]

If you aren’t Asian or haven’t spent a lot Of time with Asians, you might misunderstand the “you are getting fat” part. In Evelyn’s culture, expressing emotion is treated very different, it’s somewhat taboo by default to put your emotions on others. Joy mentions it quickly at one point, how it is kind of like saying I love you. It’s one part “I care about your health and social future” and part “I didn’t let you starve, see how much I care?” But while in a broad sense it is cultural vernacular, we also see that the strained emotional connection between people is carried forward and maintained in the form of generational trauma. Each previous generation struggling to understand and communicate with the next, especially in the face of changing cultures and emigration, breeding cyclical patterns of resentment and transference, which fuels even faster divergence from the traditional norms against the original fears of conservative elders. Evelyn’s quest then becomes learning how to break that curse before the youth is pushed too far into radicalism and lose themselves in nihilism.

We had to change the movie because they weren't focused. I was so pissed because I love the shit outta this movie. I just wanted to say thank you for this upload. My family may have brushed it aside but at least I can enjoy your reactions in their stead. Made my movie night 10x better. I appreciate y'all

[@IceMetalPunk]

I saw it for the first time with my mom. I told her it was a sci-fi movie, because we both love sci-fi, but I didn't realize she doesn't understand the concept of a multiverse. As soon as Alpha Waymond showed up, she zoned out, then decided she didn't get it and walked away. She missed the entire second act, then came back for the end. She loved the end, but had no idea of any context, and didn't even understand that they were jumping between universes during the final battle. I tried to explain it's literally just "what if something happened differently", but I don't think she wanted nor was trying to understand in the first place. So I feel your pain 😔

[@faureamour]

Yeah, I would never encourage my mom to see this movie. I think she'd "get it," but I think she'd also be taken out by the absurdist stuff. So, I don't think she'd like it. Meanwhile, I sat weeping in the theater in the damn rocks scene.

The bagel silhouette is representing a black hole, which works in conjunction with the theme that “nothing matters…” So let us live our life the way we want and what makes us happy. Because somewhere, everywhere, all the time, there’s a version of us that did something different, and had completely. Different. Lives. And at the end of the day, a giant cosmic event, such as death, or a black hole is coming. So do you. Until the End.
