Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022 Movie)

I remember Jason Estes mentioned this movie in one of his latest videos, but I forgot about it until yesterday when it was promoted on Facebook by my favorite Viennese cinema. I watched the trailer and immediately decided it was going to be my Friday night program.

I've been watching movies very rarely for years, because I don't like movies based on mainly visuals and actions, in which the story is as simple as wooden wedge, plottwist is very predictable or non exists, the acting is almost 0, the main characters forgottable. Cliché sets and forced liberal elements that also give quite a smell of sweat to today’s movies. For me, movies seem to have been dumbed-down for a couple of years to a level that is no longer fun at all and can be forgotten very quickly. BUT there are always pleasant surprises, original, creative and fun gems that also have depth and say.

Everything Everywhere all at once for me is such a movie. An exciting journey, full of creative solutions, humor, mind bending, crazy elements of Asian cinema, yet has a touching and strong message for all of us.

Marvel introduced the basic concept of multiverse worlds to the general public in a wide range of ways, but already in the 1990s, the Sliders series presented the parallel worlds very nicely, and that is the basis of this film.

It is no surprise to those on the spiritual path that we are present in many worlds here and now, and not just in millions of parallel worlds / universes, but in other dimensions as well ... but what if we could have access to the memories and knowledge of our version in many worlds? If you knew after your x or y decision, what life it led to and what knowledge you gained, or that certain events in the world would have turned out differently or not happened at all, what effect it may have had on evolution and on your life? What would our lives be like and what would we start with knowledge if we had access to possible variants of all our decisions?

The film focuses on Evelyn (Michelle Yeoh), a Chinese middle-aged woman who lives in America with her family and owns a laundromat. She constantly busy, trying to solve one problem after another, her family life in ruins, until a man from another universe seeks her help in the fight against an evil force capable of penetrating a space and time. With a tool and interesting stimulants, Evelyn is able to connect with her selves in parallel worlds and take over their abilities to get out of trouble and confront the main evil that seeks to destroy the entire universe. The story, of course, isn’t just that, but I’m not make spoiler.

I think the movie is Brilliant, an intense journey through the protagonist, from a state of inattention to a state of recognition and understanding of what is really important. What the film has to say is more relevant than ever.

It’s likely that the average person will only see a big chaos, and many of you it’s probably too much and too fast for some parts, but I think it’s worth watching. I will definitely watch it again and now I am not going to have a WTF moment at the quarter of the movie XD
