The REAL Multiverse of Madness!! | Everything Everywhere All At Once Reaction 

This movie got us hype, made us laugh, made us cry. 10/10 movie for us!!

This film is what happens when you have a love of cinema, a moderate budget and you actually care about making something special.

"I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you" that part hit me hard

The idea of putting a rip off Ratatouille universe in this film was honestly one of the best most creative and funniest things that have happened in recent movie history

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.

This was the most accurate Chinglish I've ever seen in a movie. It's literally how I speak with my parents cause I would forget Chinese words and just substitute English ones in place.

THIS IS A WILD SURPRISE. This movie has become one of my all time favorites.

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!

As an Asian kid growing up with traditional parents, this movie hit home and I’m sure it did with a lot of other Asian kids in America. That whole first part of the movie where the mom called everyone out on what they looked like is 100% true.

This movie deserves an Oscar. No cap

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.

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). It's a movie that literally has everything everywhere: dumb fucking comedy, witty comedy, pop culture references, meta references, sci-fi, action, drama, philosophy, love, and a damn important message, not to mention the sheer creativity of it all. God, I love this movie.

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

"You are getting fat." scene is kind of a way to show concern/care over relative/family in asian culture I think. Tho it can be very insensitive and hurts one's self-esteem. I'm Filipino and I hear that all the time from my relatives lol

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.

Fun Fact: The actor playing Waymond is Ke Huy Quan. You may not know him by name, but you may know him as Data from “Goonies” and Short Round from “Indiana Jones” Also, all of the visual effects in the movie were done by 5 PEOPLE!

Such a fantastic movie. A lot of people said when this came out it "tried to do too many things," but isn't that life? One thing happens, then suddenly everything snowballs at once. This movie is so easy to connect with even though it's so mystical. This movie handles the multiverse better than a movie with the word in its name.

Now that I've seen both multiple times, "Everything Everywhere All At Once" is the better multiverse movie, hands down!!!!

And I expected to hate the daughter, but the movie spends time making sure that you understand where she's coming from. When you make a movie, you make sure that the writing flows logically.

I was DYING at the 2001: A Space Odyssey spoof (with the primate with the hot-dog-finger hands beating the normal-handed one), this movie was absolutely fantastic

It only hit me after that they were insinuating that Joy probably would have committed suicide that night had she left in the car(since she kills herself in every other universe)

Lol the way they interject English in the middle of a Chinese sentence that had lupa tripping is extremely accurate to how Chinese immigrants talk 😂 sounds exactly like my dad, most realistic ass Chinese American conversations I've ever seen in a movie

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. People in general don't realize how much of an uphill battle it is. For a movie like this to say, yes the world is overwhelming, but there's always a way to navigate through the chaos. I completely agree that it's a 10/10.

The ending characters at the end is a Chinese idiom, meaning “Horses are flying” i.e. “Everything is crazy”.

Bilingual families be like that, haha. My grandmother will speak in Cantonese and my mom responds in English, for the whole conversation. Like a Tekken cutscene.

This movie touched my soul fam *waves arms around* So much is horrible right now, but this movie is all about hope and perspective. This was medicine

Joy was seeking out every single universe to find a mom that would understand her or at least accompany her to her death, and Evelyn, with the potential to jump to any universe, chose to stay in her own just so she can stay with her own Joy, bro this movie is so good

Yeah saw this before Multiverse of madness and it set the bar way too high. A24 is the studio and almost all their stuff is super stylized and looks amazing.

Also another amazing thing about this movie is that the visual effects were done by a team of only 5 vfx artists! 7 if you’re counting both of the directors that helped as well. This movie is a complete masterpiece.

Dear Roshi, Sheera & Lupa, Seeing you guys put out a reaction vid of something I've already seen makes my day, thank you for being a source of joy in my days. I'm being 💯 like you guys keep it!

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.

I'm here because it swept Oscars, and the movie rightfully deserved every reward it got. One of the modern masterpiece i've seen in recent years. 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.

When Evelyn said “I’m fighting like you.” to her husband, I was a bucket of tears in the movie theatre

The jump pad thing make me think of the anime "darker than black", where contractor need to pay their ability by doing something stupid. The 'it's a girl thing' it's because in China for a long time the was a one child policy and of course traditions are male centric (specialy concerning heritage).

Crazy that a 5 person team made all of the effects for this movie.

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.

Fun fact: The security guard and the office worker(the ones with the buttplugs) who know Kung Fu are actually RU-vidrs who go by the name "Martial Club". The office worker even starred as Deathdealer in Shang Chi.

I saw this movie on 300ug. Absolutely mind-blowing experience. It exceeded my expectations by ten fold. Theres so much metaphors and philosophical meanings you could possibly gloss over. The amount of imagery and tiny details within the dialogue and each shot is out of this world.

This is legitimately the best movie I've seen in years. Saw it 4 times in theaters and it hit different every fucking time. Had me in goddamn tears of every kind. My spouse and I both cried over "In another universe I'd really enjoy just doing laundry and taxes with you." So glad y'all loved it.

Moral of the story: "Enjoy life to the fullest,love as well as cherish your love ones the most and lastly, do what makes you happy... despite all the bad stuff that happens or comes with it"💯

"The only thing I do know, is that we have to be kind. Especially when we don't know what's going on". That moment broke me in tears. It was so emotional, I could feel it in my soul. When she remembers and Waymond tells her he would have really liked a lifer with just laundry and taxes.

Also, the 2 "Plug" fighters are brothers irl with their own RU-vid channel called Martial Club, they're really well choreographed short videos, and pretty much choreographed this film.

So happy to see you three react to this because barely anyone has and it’s unbelievable how good this movie is and how more people need to see it. Genuinely a once in a generation movie. Also insane how the VFX were done by 5 people who learnt from RU-vid. The whole movie was filmed in under a month. They just had all the perfect pieces to make this work.

Feb 12 2023: History was made last night! EEAAO won 7 Oscars! Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Picture, Best Editing, Best Screenplay!

the flash drive insert noise ya'all edited into the scene around 33:30 is the funniest edit I have ever, ever scene in a react video. 100/10!

The scene when security guard or cop jumped on the butt plug, I was like “hell no” 💩

Seeing this in a theater was AN EXPERIENCE. And they made this for $25 million.

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 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

I was excited to watch this movie all week with my family today after I watched it myself last week and they literally brushed it aside and spoke for the first 45 minutes of movie night today. 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

The actual MULTIVERSE of MADNESS

Counting this one, it's my sixth viewing. A movie THIS good with an asian american cast is damn history being made as far as I'm concerned.

This movie made me cry for 15 minutes straight it's so good

The joke about the plugs before it even reach that part😭😭

31:54 😭😭😭😭😭 i had closed my eyes from dying of laughter in the theater and never seen that shot of the dogs legs until now and seeing everyone's reaction plus the legs😂😂😂 this movie is COMEDY GOLD‼️

This honestly may be my favorite movie of all time.

Let’s gooo!!!!! finally this movie left me in awe really touched my soul absolutely loved it

I wonder if Roshi Yammed up in other universes too 🤔

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.]

I L O V E that at the end, despite knowing about and having the choice to live any other life in any of the other multiverse.... She actively chooses to be in this one. And I think that's just beautiful ❤️

Evelyn is still Everywhere At Once, that’s why she got distracted at the end.

22:35 Took off his glasses so he didn’t have to see anymore blasphemy. Also, love how it turned blurry

That is literally how bilingual households sound. Swapping back and forth between languages. 😅

This is the best movie of the year, and I’ll be damned if the Oscars ignore it next year, especially with all the critical acclaim and box office records it’s been setting

HE TOOK HIS GLASSES OFF AND THE SCREEN WENT BLURRY, THIS EDITOR ISTG

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.

NOT THE USB SOUND WHEN THE GUY BUTPLUGGED DKDJDK

I really love this movie and Stephanie's Hsu totally killed it, she got me hyped and crying I lover her

I... was not expecting any of that. That was the craziest movie I've ever seen and I don't regret watching it at all what a crazy ride 🤣

I watched this on a flight, that was the frickin flight of my life.

SR-71 BLACKBIRD LMAO WTF BRO THE EDITOR 🤣🤣🤣 Im weak as fuck lol

This movie has like 27 climaxes and i love it

i can't begin to tell you the AMOUNT of times i've walked around the house singing, "SUCKED! intooooooo a bagel." and there's a track called "Opera Fight" - that is pure goodness!

I wanted to ugly cry so many times in the theater while watching this, but was afraid that I would miss something. I was flabbergasted, how can a movie so ridiculous, to the point of having a but plug fight in the middle, be so damned good. The Rock scene is one of the best things I've experienced in film ever. This movie really does deliver on the promise of being Everything Everywhere and All at once. 10/10

It’s mad how five people made all the VFX in this film, madness!

One of the best movies of not only in 2022, but of this decade - if not of all time!

''so, even though you have broken my heart yet again, I wanted to say, in another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you.'' That line hit me right in the feels.

Who’s back here because we’ve got 11 Oscar nominations for this film?! So proud for them 🥺😭

I watched this movie twice in theaters and cried both times. And I still cried during this reaction vid. Easily my favorite film of all time. Nothing hit this hard.

This film puts multiverse of madness to a shame. What’s cool is the people that did all of the effects and CGI were 5 dudes in their rooms during covid & then all of the choreography was made by the 2 dudes that did the buttplug stuff! i love that!

"Those are trophies...those are, WHAT?!" He was 2 seconds away from saying those ARE butt-plugs 😂😂😂

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

I've never seen your reactions before but my new favorite thing is watching people experience this roller coaster of a movie, going from confused to WTF to hilarity and delight to true emotion, and you guys didn't disappoint. Excellent reaction! Loved your joy and shock and everything! So good!

loved that blur when the glasses came off :)

only 5 people edited the movie 🤯

I was not expecting to see y’all react to this!! I fucking love this movie

With all the cuts and scenes in this movie, it's crazy how much meaning they conveyed. I cried and laughed so much

S Tier shit right here!! I loved this way more than Dr. Strange. This made me feel all the things!! So effing creative and such a sweet concept on how they switch between universes. The choreography, cinematogrtaphy, soundtrack, cast, Lupa's frikkin face the whole damn movie 🤣. EVERYTHING!!! Also the husband Waymond is Shortround from Indiana Jones!!

This is a pure cinematic masterpiece! I have seen it 10 times in theaters just so I could share the experience with different people I kept bragging about the movie to! *EDIT* Make that 15 times. 😉

This movie was sooo unexpected! I'm so glad y'all liked it. I didn't think Lupa was gonna be able to hang for a minute there in the middle with the extra crazy shit. Seriously, I don't know where this movie came from with getting me in my feels all of the sudden bringing it all together. Agreed, S tier!

Commentary isn't my bag, but I'm soooooo glad ya'll did this movie. If there were a tier beyond SSS tier, that'd be this. Wait until you see it the second and third time and notice the things you didn't see this time thru.

Ive watched a lot of your full show reactions and this has to be one of my favorite videos from you guys. loved all this wonderful movie's moments with you guys

Love this movie, its honestly one of the very few movies I think a damn near perfect. The balance between action and comedy as well as family drama mixed in with psychology and the emotions was immaculate, like the fact that when she was at her lowest and felt lost and wanted to give up she went looking to her mom hit so hard. And then you hear the story of the making of this film and it just adds to it.

Oh wow that Windows USB sound 💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣

3:54 yall that man is vietnamese not chinese lmaooo

*Stunning piece of cinema.*

The fact y'all didn't fawn over the wardrobe department for this movie shows how well they did their jobs. It was seamless. The 100 costume Evelyn 1,000 yard stare scene always blows my mind.

This is easily the best movie I’ve seen this year, and it’s not even close. Can’t wait for your reactions!

0:44 not even a minute into this video I’m already busting out laughing

Can't believe y'all got a reaction up for this already! Awesome! This movie is straight up incredible 😁👍
