Everything Everywhere All at Once. (2022)
 

Everything Everywhere All at Once - Wikipedia

It is the big winner at this year's Academy Awards. List of accolades received by Everything Everywhere All at Once - Wikipedia

Have only seen it up to the point where Jamie Lee Curtis' character enters the story but will have to see what the fuss is about.

There are a number of recent Best Pictures I have not been able to watch in one sitting. Academy Awards - Wikipedia

I watched it in one sitting and regretted every moment. 🫤

I haven’t seen it but, according to the description, it is incomprehensible.

The star has to connect with parallel universe versions of herself to prevent a powerful being from destroying the multiverse.

Has anyone seen it and
A. Liked it, and
B. Understood it?

Ever since "The English Patient" won Best Picture (possibly the most boring movie ever made), I avoid any Best Picture winners until I can see them for free. So this one will also be in that category. But I do love Jamie Lee Curtis . . . . .

Agree with you about the English patient, thought it would never end. Most of these "winners" are of no interest to me and as a result been years since I watched the show.

It does indeed sound incomprehensible. I'm gonna go off the rails here and say I REALLY enjoyed the movie Being John Malcovich. 9 of 10 people who have seen it consider it stupid- with the 1 considering it brilliant. I thought it was brilliant. This Oscar winner may be that kind of film.

I enjoyed that one too.

Have you seen The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent?

No.

I loved this movie-- The Banshees of Inisherin - Wikipedia

Yes good not great but good

I saw it. Quirky as hell...

I liked it...

I understood it...

Another "quirky as hell" movie that I thoroughly enjoyed...

Going slightly off topic (books instead of movies), has anyone read A Confederacy of Dunces?

The NY Times Book Review listed it as one of the top 25 novels of the past 125 years.

I read it. Perhaps I am stupid, lack sophistication, or I don't understand great satire (or possibly a combination of those factors), but it may have been the worst book I have ever read. I kept reading it thinking that it has to get better - but I was wrong. The only interesting thing about it was how it got published - posthumously. Please note that Ulysses was also on that list of best books.

If anyone liked it, I would like to hear your reasons.

Liked it a great deal.

It’s good! Funny. Came out last year. Nick Cage plays a heightened version of himself and Pedro Pascal plays a rich guy who wrote a screenplay for him to star in. It’s free on Amazon now I think.

Agreed. There were some really funny parts though. I do love those movies/shows where they play themselves.

Yes, can tell I'm getting old, I really really miss, really really good epic movies: The Last Emperor, Dr. Zhivago, Gandhi, Ben Hur, The Deer Hunter, Lawrence of Arabia, Out of Africa, the first Rocky, Pearl Harbor, even one of the first spectaculars my parents took me to as a little kid, The Greatest Show on Earth ! well, I guess I better stop... I did really enjoy Top Gun Maverick, maybe not in the class with some I named from the past, but after all that's been happening in the world around us, was fun to just have a rah rah movie. But this Everything, E, A, A,O, with it's darker nihilism, existentialism, and all kinds of "hidden" racial and philosophical "messages"... I'd rather read another philosophy book, not in a movie, please ! But, looks Iike I am definitely in the minority. I just could not sit through it all, had to go get a Culver's after the weight of that "so called comedy" !

Loved Top Gun: Maverick and there are Best Picture winners also thought were very entertaining like The Shape of Water, Gladiator , Chicago , Green Book, and Argo .

Not a great film buff these days, but I did watch Green Book.
Didn't realize until the end it was based on real people.
Enjoyable if a bit predictable. Sort of Driving Miss Daisy on steroids!

The Academy Awards are voted on the members of the Academy. Their idea of a great movie is clearly different from the people who watch them.

I have it. I started it 3 times. Got to Chapter 3 once. Maybe I'll try again.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY 💰 !!! Hollywood self-congratulatory BS! Two hours and nineteen minutes you’ll NEVER get back!

C. Ran out screaming 😱

Tried to watch it 3 times. Very convoluted. Can’t believe Jamie Lee wasn’t embarrassed to play that role.

No…”Being John Malcovich” was intelligent. This was stupid and gimmicky and made us want to get up and leave a few times…leave out the “king fu fighting” scenes and you have 45 minutes of substance…maybe.

Yes…But it was still stupid and WAY TOO LONG….

Gimmicks and quirkiness do not make a good movie. Neither does shocking scenes. While some of the acting was good. The thin plot and the endless Kung Foo fighting scenes left me bored. Don’t waste your money and time on this film.

I've seen it several times. Imaginative. May take a few viewings to get it all. Definitely different than the typical super hero films that have saturated movie theaters for years. The movie is spoofing modern multiverse flicks. Infinite universes, infinite possibilities. That silly stuff. You know, Everything Everywhere ALL At Once. It was interesting to see the Indiana Jones "Short Round" kid all grown up. Well sort of grown up. Got to see the movie to understand.

I found it overwhelming in places at first, but I enjoyed it more as it went on and as I started enjoying the characters; completely loved Jamie Lee Curtis's character; but at the end is where you understand the point of the movie and then it all makes sense and has a big message. An editing masterpiece.

Yeah. Possibly the worst movie ever made.

Don't waste your time!

We will not. The Hollywood Ilk are in a world of their own. Not one we want to live in. Love how the vast majority rail against guns but in their movies it’s just fine. So many examples of them “Do as we say, not as we do”.

Drugs, violence, language, illicit behavior in most of their films. But that’s the world they live in and reflect.. not for us.

And we never waste our time viewing any “Award show”. Self congratulatory endowment.

Saw it, understood it (it takes time) and liked it…the look into one woman’s mind as she deals with life. But the look is surreal!

Wow, you haven’t seen many movies if you think that’s the worst movie ever made. or you just a fan of hyperbole! :wave:

All quite on the western front , best picture hands down. Trust me.

Couldn’t have said it better myself! TY!

Very good movie!

Loved it!

Not for Me
 

I only saw two movies in a theater last year. Everything all at once Was one of them. We walked out after 10 minutes. It took a 25year old to explain to me it was a video game. I don't play video games.

However, due to the complexity of the movie, I can see how difficult it was to make.
