Spoiler-Free! Watching the Acclaimed Film "Everything Everywhere All at Once"

Watching "Everything Everywhere All at Once"

I went to see "Everything Everywhere All at Once," also promoted as "#エブエブ" in Japan. This film has won seven Academy Awards, and Michelle Yeoh, a Malaysian of Chinese descent, won the Best Actress award, making her the first Asian to achieve this honor, which has sparked a lot of discussion.

I had known about this movie since last month when I saw the trailer while watching "Titanic." Just hearing about the setting and story was already intriguing and had me laughing.

Although the trailer looked interesting, I was left confused after hearing the synopsis. Nevertheless, my curiosity was piqued.

I had been thinking, "I want to see it and be surprised," and then I happened to turn on the TV, and there was news about the Academy Awards. Thinking that the theaters might get crowded after the film won awards, I decided to watch it on the same day the winners were announced.

Off to the Night Cinema!

Since the movie ends close to midnight, my boyfriend, who usually only watches Japanese films, came along with me.

He asked, "I didn't read that message you sent about the movie properly. Can you tell me the plot?" And my response was, "It's a story where a laundromat lady saves the entire universe with Kung Fu."

I'm not wrong, haha.

Impressions of "Everything Everywhere All at Once"

Without giving away any spoilers, I can't fully explain, but the film is filled with absurd settings that will make you laugh, intense action scenes, and dramatic moments. It's peculiar how it manages to evoke courage within you.

After the Academy Awards, the speeches of the winners also resonate with their characters.

The costume design, visual effects, and technical expertise are outstanding, and it makes me want to watch it again.

My boyfriend, who usually watches only Japanese films and prefers dubbed versions, says they want to see it again. They're also busy but express a desire to watch Steven Spielberg's autobiographical film "Fablemans," so it might not be easy to find the time.

If you're still undecided, I recommend watching it on the big screen. Even if you're someone who usually waits for the DVD to think, "That was good," experiencing the power of the big screen once will leave you with no regrets. It's a highly recommended film that gives that feeling.
