like its just that yknow its deeply rooted in asian culture to live w ur family even when you're older and not move out. the whole concept of independence is seen as an act of betrayal (at least for our elders) and for the youngsters, living with your parents is seen as a way for them to control us even in our adulthood. but!!! but ultimately it was proposed as an antithesis in Everything Everywhere because evelyn didnt want her dad to let her go so easily despite wanting to make her own decisions and live her own life because she wanted to see that she was worth loving and not letting go of and that there was still so much to cherish in the face of their differences!!! how instinctively, immediately she was okay with letting joy move out so as to not hold her back from her choices but realized that she was repeating her father's mistake and that it's more complex!!! and because joy set out to find her mother in every universe as, essentially, a plea.... because she didnt want to have 2 move out and let go out of compulsion........ its not my life vs your life!!!! she wants joy in her life in all her tattooed, stubborn, reckless gay glory..... her joy.....

At literally any moment I could start sobbing about Waymond Wang. About how he brings cookies to soften hearts. About how he shields the people he loves even when he's afraid. About how he dances with strangers. About how he loves his wife. About how he goes to bat for her even after she takes a bat to everything precious to him. About how his kindness is an intentional fighting style. What a love. What a character. What a man.

i’m not sure if anyone has pointed this out before, but the laundry and taxes line in eeaao actually translates more accurately to “if there is a next life, i would still choose to do taxes and open a laundromat with you” (instead of just “i would’ve really liked”), and the distinction is so important because it emphasises the gravity of the each minuscule choice we make, and how it is the significance of these choices that makes our seemingly insignificant lives have meaning. choosing to do laundry and taxes with her conveys a sense of certainty and assuredness that he would still actively make that decision in another life, as opposed to “i would’ve liked” which implies that he is merely a product of his circumstances with no agency over them instead of a result of his individual autonomy. it also reinforces waymond’s own philosophies about optimism as a choice we must constantly make and hold steadfast to despite despite despite. the act of choosing begets sacrifice, but choosing love, choosing kindness, choosing to believe that the darkness is transient and surmountable is the most important thing we could do in a world where succumbing to despair and hopelessness is so easy, and i think the way this film navigates this subject of choice is so beautiful

so. i rewatched everything everywhere all at once a few nights ago. and upon my rewatch i was struck by the scene where evelyn embraces nihilism across the multiverse—signing the divorce papers, revealing racaccoonie, turning away deirdre, breaking the window in the laundromat, though im not sure it was in that order—and how it shows that choosing to believe that nothing truly matters actively ruins your life and the lives around you. like, okay, whatever, nothing has any meaning and in the grand scheme of the universe, the consequences of your actions are never going to ripple out and affect the cosmos in a way that truly matters. but your choices don't have to have that kind of massive effect for them to matter at all. does the universe care that evelyn did all those things? not particularly. but look at waymond's face when she signs those papers. the way chad cried when she separated him from racaccoonie. deirde's reaction to the rejection of such a sincere display of affection. that's what matters. it's only when evelyn decides to go back and show that she cares about other people, by helping them or just being kind to them, that anyone's lives can be improved.

thinking about the rock scene and honestly what a fantastic choice because that movie is 2hrs of intentional visual and auditory overload. from the very first moment to the last there was always so much STUFF on screen, so much plot happening that you didn't want to blink. dropping a scene of several minutes of long unbroken steady shots of two rocks chilling out on a cliffside together in a universe devoid of life was such a good choice for pacing. a built in intermission for the audience. and it structurally embodied the "choose to breathe and be present" message the film was saying

daniel kwan and daniel scheinert really said generational trauma is both a knife and a festering wound and yes it is all consuming and yes you must carry with you, and you will turn that knife onto the world and when that’s not enough you will turn it onto yourself — not just because it’s too heavy to bear but because you want to punish the one who gave it to you and it’s the last weapon you have to balance out the pain. and you can choose to fall or you can choose to kill or can choose to forgive but it’s not your burden to make things right it is your parents burden to do right by you

everyday i become obsessed with little stories about how life is terrible but it will always be worth living because, even in spite of our darkest moments, there will be love around the corner. let life start and end with tragedy. let us be torn apart. let everything have no meaning because the meaning is ours to create. we don’t need perfection. we don’t need a happy ending because we have each other. we are the meaning of life. each moment of laughter, every time you feel that warm feeling in your stomach, that makes life worth living. why are we here? what’s the point. maybe there isn’t one. but we still have to live in this world we created, as awful as it is. so why not love each other. why not just live and laugh and cry and be. because we can

Speaking of Everything Everywhere All At Once: I always think of how the Alpha!Wangs were under the impression that Jobu Tupaki had set out to destroy the whole multiverse, when she was really looking for an Evelyn who could understand her

Which is a lot like how some immigrant families catastrophize the moment their children become their own people. Some of us are made to feel that we will ruin EVERYTHING if we aren't straight/don't choose a "secure" career/don't anything that's supposed to align with our parents ideals. Many of us maintain relationships with our parents founded on unsaid and uncomfortable misunderstandings- and we yearn so badly for a situation where we don't have to reach out across the gap.

So it means EVERYTHING that it is Evelyn that fights to connect with her daughter, rather than Joy having to clamor for her mother's approval.

imo the multiverse in EEAAO is such a perfect metaphor for some very specific types of asian american immigrant trauma that hit so close to home… on the one hand, evelyn is leaping into all these universes, even the absurd ones, and thinking… these are all people i could have been, lives i could have lived, i could have Been Someone but instead i’m only just evelyn. she’s an exceptional person with so many talents and passions back home, and then she came over to the states to be taken for granted and cut down by everyone around her into a stereotype and a nobody. but even as the film is recognizing all the abandoned dreams of immigrant mothers, at the same time, for Jobu tupaki, each universe isn’t something new she could have been, it’s something she HAD to be, even if she didn’t want to. her mother pushed her past her limit and she was forced to be every single version of herself at the same time… people she didn’t want to be, things she’s not cut out for, to the point where she wants to blow it all up and be nothing at all. it really nails imo a pretty common 2nd gen experience of feeling like you have to be perfect at everything and live out all your parents dreams for them for so long that eventually you snap and look back on everything you used to be and think… that was fucking bullshit. that was pointless, none of this fucking matters. and then the only thing that can save you from the nihilism is your mother telling you “all those absurd things you used to be don’t matter to me, all i need you to be is you”
