Review: "Everything everywhere all at once", let's go for the OSCAR

Darkmeter 9 🖤

What makes up our lives? the moments we live? the people around us? Regardless of what you think after this question, everything can be summed up in that it is emotions that shape our lives, and "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once" is the cinematographic work gives us that. Constant emotions, the emotions that we live with the moments of each part of our life, make us who we are, so it is with emotion that I share my review of what for me should win best film of the year.

Less is more.

One of the lowest-budget films in Best Picture nomination history, this gem of cinema shows that you don't need to spend billions of dollars on production, actors, and advertising. On the contrary, what you occupy is making the most of what you have, and what you don't have you can learn to do it yourself.

Equally highlight performances quickly where less exaggerated, less forced and more humane is better. Where Michelle Yeoh (Evelyn) and Ke Quan (Waymond) give one of the most incredible performances I've seen all year. Where despite being a multiversal surreal concept, where the possibilities are endless, in each scene nothing steals your attention from what the characters are experiencing.

True youth.

Reflecting the true youthful spirit of not just today but all of human history, Stephanie Hsu (Joy Wang). It shows that being a teenager does not necessarily have to be someone immature or rebellious, but rather shows us that what is sometimes needed is simply to be listened to and taken into account. That your ideas and personality are unique and that he doesn't reflect what your community wants you to be is not a bad thing.

But at the same time it reflects that as young people we can always be more patient, more understanding and give more assertive communication regarding what happens to us and what we need from our loved ones.

Quality visual effects.

In the visual effects section, it is noteworthy that, as I mentioned, there was no budget that could compete with large productions, however the production team was able to do wonders, even surpassing the practical effects of the disastrous phase 3 and 4 MARVEL.

Without the need to spend too much and combining very good practical effects with impeccable virtual development, each scene is a visual delight that ventures you into action or drama in equal measure, the immersion in the settings, the handling of color and the combination of corporal expressions make this film a yes.

Simple and compelling story.

Impressively, it gives rise to a wonderful story, which leaves a message to be able to use in any aspect of your life and that develops you as a person, all this without the need to exaggerate aspects, without adding plots to the plots, subplots and aspects hidden. Everything is there, there are no hidden messages, there is nothing that complicates the understanding of the plot, which in a multiverse movie can be somewhat difficult.

So a big round of applause to the writers and of course to the directing work that demonstrates one of the most promising pairs "The Daniels" where they have always worked to give their best.

Hidden message (possible spoiler)

Something that few people talk about is the importance of the father figure within the main plot and that I wanted to touch on in depth. From the beginning of the story we are informed that Michelle Yeoh (Evelyn) is the heroine, the one who can change the multiverse and stop Jobu Tupaki, and in the end she really is.

But who saves Evelyn to save the world? There is that 5-minute sequence where we understand that deep love, patience, positivity and concern Ke Quan's constant (Waymond) is what gives the world that light, that happiness necessary to overcome any adversity. Thus making Waymond the true final hero of the story.

Conclusion.

A film full of color, emotion and most importantly, heart. Something that is missing in the current era of cinema, where the important thing is how many explosions and visual effects you can put in. this work comes like a refreshing bucket to your mind and body. Highlighting a message where family is everything, and that we must always understand what other people do to give us the strength and peace of mind to move forward. You will cry, you will laugh, you will understand and you will love.
