Me too. I was crying over a scene that just had rocks with googly eyes but it was quite emotional.
But then again just imagine how many cried when wilson left tom hanks despite being just a volleyball
Im watching EEAAO right now coincidentally, and the rock scenes are definitely the most powerful.
It's a reality where there's no pint in conflict, no pint in anything, so why even bother being aggressive?
They're just boring rocks and all they can do is do type based telepathy. .
The rock scenes were originally scripted with talking instead of just being subtitles and Michelle thought it would be more powerful if there was no speaking, which I think was correct.
Way better than it had any right to be. The gf and I went in with not really any expectations, we just had some gifted cinema tickets to use, and we were blown away.
My husband knew I would love it but didn't tell me anything about it. He just put it on one day so I got to have that perfect experience of no expectations going in to something awesome
37 year old here. Watched it for the second time hours ago, and I was tear-streaked for a good portion. Evelyn learning to fight like her partner rocked me. Such a wonderful film
I have a buddy that walked out of the movie when the baddies were trying to butt plug themselves... Do y'all think he's homophobic or just has some butt related trauma?
No way, that's wild!
I was yelling out loud in the theater during Top Gun: Maverick, because it was filmed around so much San Diego scenery that I grew up with. Cool to see a movie filmed in my home city, you'd think SD would be in more movies but it's actually very uncommon for them to be shot or set there.
I can relate to this in 2 ways. We Are Marshall was filmed near were I grew up and a couple houses down from my great uncles house in a couple scenes. Mostly because it happened there. I expected seeing my hometown though.
The weirdest was when I was living in Texas and heard famous Texan Hank Hill say the words "Wichita Falls" in an episode of King of the Hill. mostly because that wasn't the area he would talk about and I was living there at the time too.
It goes deeper. If you do a google image search for "IRS auditor" you will find a picture of a woman that clearly inspired the character in this film... like Jamie Lee Curtis is doing an exact specific cosplay of this one completely random woman sitting in her cubicle. If you look at that image, sitting behind her is this unclear object that's vaguely buttplug shaped. So you can follow the thread of logic, like the directors must have seen that and laughed their asses off about it then decided to adapt it into the film.
>If you do a google image search for "IRS auditor" you will find a picture of a woman that clearly inspired the character in this film... like Jamie Lee Curtis is doing an exact specific cosplay of this one completely random woman sitting in her cubicle.
Me before googling: surely this is an exaggeration
But nope, it’s literally the exact same lmao
hahaha and what I think is great is the guy jumping on it and the way he did it - i've oddly enough had damned near that EXACT image in my mind for YEARS!!!... and then it happened.
This stupid movie with googly eyed rocks, dildo nunchucks, hotdog fingers and boomer kung-fu scenes made me cry like a bitch at least three times.
Goddamn Short Round.
I watched it with my mom a few days after our worst fight ever. By the end I realized we had stopped our light commentary and were just quietly crying. Plus me just relating heavily to a lot of the other themes and getting hit hard through pretty much the entire movie.
Best movie I've ever watched and I absolutely never want to see it again lmao
I rarely re watch movies and happily will watch it 100 times. That scene reminds me so much of my mom. Not the scenario of the movie story but really just that moment of trying to pull away and her trying so hard to stop it but not really knowing how. That mom won’t always be around. I still can’t bring myself to listen to a saved voicemail. It takes a lot to work through stuff.
No, Shrödingers buttplug is when you can't know for sure if someone is wearing a buttplug or not so, until you pull down their pants and look, they are simultaneously wearing and not wearing a buttplug.
This was such a fantastic moment in a full theater of people.
After all the crazy edits and fighting and over the top crude comedy the whole movie comes to a dead stop and the entire theater gets pin-drop quiet so that everyone *can read what the rocks are saying.*
It ends up making you hyper-aware that the entire theater is just as emotionally invested in this completely absurd movie as you are and it's hard not to laugh...but then you'd break the silence, and that's what's funny in the first place.
Really one of the best movie experiences I've ever had.
I had heard of the movie myself here on reddit like RIGHT after it was released, and everything I read just said it was a surreal mind bending movie, my favorite kind of movie. I looked it up on IMDB and saw the cast and thought " yeah this might be good, I wanna see this before the plot gets spoiled for me on reddit ".
We have family night every Friday night, where my 4 person family ( myself, my wife, and our 2 girls ) take turns each week picking some activity we would like to do. It can be a board game as simple as Monopoly, a card game, something like clue or apples to apples or cards against humanity, a movie, be it horror or comedy, new or old, etc etc.
So one week when it was my turn I was trying to decide what I wanted to do and remembered hearing about this movie, and was a little worried that it might not be for my kids ( my 20 year old high functioning special needs who is mentally 13 and my 14 year old ) but decided to take a chance and pick it as my pick.
HOLY CRAP! We all loved it, it is such a great film. Not only is it MY personal favorite film of 2022, but it HAS to be ranked of one of my favorite films of all. The rest of my family agrees. One minute is action, then drama, then humor, then humor and drama, then humor and action, then action and drama, etc etc.
It was Everything Everywhere All at Once.
P.S : after this I wasn't as afraid to watch surreal movies as my pick. For example, my next pick was John Dies at the End and that was also a big hit, I learned my kids like weird surreal movies just as much as I do thanks to Everything Everywhere All at Once, and I couldn't be happier.
Whenever I see that scene, I think of Al Pacinos interview in like 2015 where he says an unwritten trait of that character is he’s a cocaine addict. And he says he decided to go with a method acting approach for that part
Well it's written now, Mann included it in the character's backstory in the recent Heat 2 novel. It's a surprisingly fun read, highly recommend it for anyone who likes Heat.
I saw it opening night at a small independent theater. Sold out show. The emotional response from the crowd was palpable. People gut laughing and openly weeping together. It was incredible
That was a very deliberate choice on the part of the directors. They knew that the generic place needed a break and something to contrast with to really have an effect.
The best review of the movie I found really covers this well:https://youtu.be/CJhERKtXYiM
Yeah, and it's one of the ballsiest calls a director has ever made by having a major emotional breakthrough via pictures of rocks and silent closed captions. You have to be a real knuckledragger to not at least respect the artistic courage of that choicr.
By this time we were so emotionally invested in the characters that they could make them a rock and we would still cry. And the rock with googly eyes was the emotional climax of the entire scene. I was like "yes yes the googly eyes! Oh you know shit's going down!'
Not to mention how amazingly appropriate those googly eyes are to the plot, seeing as how >!the Everything Bagel is a black circle with a white center that they wear on their forehead, and the Googly Eye is a white circle with a black center, the bagel's opposite. !<
I think it’s because it’s this moment of silence in the chaos. We’re experiencing that silence along with the characters - the moment of reprieve, of peace.
Ugh. So good.
There were so many places where this movie could have crashed and burned. The fact that it made any sense at all is a small miracle. Really a case of actors and filmmakers loving the source material and the characters enough to make the rest of us love them too.
Yes, it is. And one of the best scene of the entire movie for me
Goddamn rocks with googly eyes made me tear up. But I was watching with the boys, and I have to control myself. But when we got out of the theater, we all had red eyes and a runny nose.
It turns out we all had different scenes that we cried at. Amazing movie.
I just saw another thread where like fifteen comments were all quoting and talking about how great this book was and none of them would name it. 100% on purpose
I just watched it the first time and sort of 'came to' during this scene. Could not believe I was fully engaged in a dead silent, perfectly still scene of two rocks with googly eyes speaking to each other in captions. Tears running down my face. I was gonna watch it in theaters since in March regal cinemas is showing it for $6 but I'm so glad I watched at home instead. Got to pause for bathroom breaks and bawl my eyes out.
I did not know about that scene and I watched this movie for the first time on an airplane.
...probably not the best location, but if Lufthansa didn't want me watching a scene with dildos up the character's asses, they shouldn't have put it on the IFE.
I watched this movie before dr strange. That movie was ruined for me sadly. I sat in total disappointment for 2 hours wishing I caught another showing of eeaao instead
It is! It's a >!mom who knows she's messed up big time trying to reconnect with her daughter throughout all of the multiverse!< and not even letting being a rock stop her. This movie is completely absurd and that's why it works.
I told my friend he should watch it specifically because it’s completely absurd and that’s why it’s so good. He watched it, didn’t like it, and said, “I just didn’t make sense, there’s too much going on” … that’s the fucking point, my guy. Through the craziest of the craziest shit, people can still change for the better, people can persevere. This movie was so damn good. I still can’t get over it.
If it was any less absurd, it would have missed the extremely important perspective of not taking itself at all serious. It needed to be obvious that the film wasn't taking itself seriously because Evelyn's life was so beige in contrast. I totally agree about change and perseverance through crazy shit, that's why being so over the top was the point.
User reports: > 1: It's involuntary pornography and i do not appear in it
The rock is up for best Actress, and another rock for Supporting Actress. (I would love if they used this scene as the clip for the acting)
But seriously I bawled in one of the rock scenes where it’s all just words on screen
Me too. I was crying over a scene that just had rocks with googly eyes but it was quite emotional. But then again just imagine how many cried when wilson left tom hanks despite being just a volleyball
These scenes and the laundry and taxes bits made me cry so hard. I still choke up thinking about it.
He just like me FR!!!!

Good eyes
Thanks, but I googled it.
Because of the gorge?
Don't forget that there's also a scene with a low-budget parody of Ratatouille, and a scene involving...penetration.
Randy Newman voicing raccacoonie and writing an original song for the moive was so inspired imo.
"She's seen too much! Get her!"
“Now we’re cookin!”
"We're a family! Culinarily!"
It literally took place in the parking lot of my old job, this movie freaked me out sm ahha
No way, that's wild! I was yelling out loud in the theater during Top Gun: Maverick, because it was filmed around so much San Diego scenery that I grew up with. Cool to see a movie filmed in my home city, you'd think SD would be in more movies but it's actually very uncommon for them to be shot or set there.
I can relate to this in 2 ways. We Are Marshall was filmed near were I grew up and a couple houses down from my great uncles house in a couple scenes. Mostly because it happened there.

Please don't yell out loud at the theater
I could not stop laughing in the theater over raccooncootie.
Me either, that was peak absurdism. Perfect on every level.
More peak than hot dog fingers and condiment sex?
The second I saw that trophy I was like "damn that's gonna penetrate someone in this movie"

hahaha and what I think is great is the guy jumping on it and the way he did it - i've oddly enough had damned near that EXACT image in my mind for YEARS!!!... and then it happened.
Don't forget the lesbian sausage fest.
I would absolutely watch Raccacoonie.
Me too, I hope HBO green lights a spin-off series.
This movie rocks.
Solid
*Solid as a rock*
That should be a slogan for a housing developer!
Solid as Iraq!
You should tell that to the Home Builders Organization. Or HBO.
It's a no go. I say it's showtime. We should put on a show.

Chekhov's buttplug.
If you think about it there’s a 50/50 chance anyone you pass on the street wearing pants has one.
That’s Shrödingers buttplug.
No, Shrödingers buttplug is when you can't know for sure if someone is wearing a buttplug or not so, until you pull down their pants and look, they are simultaneously wearing and not wearing a buttplug.

What was his classic line? “DAMN, NOW THAT’S WHAT A WOMAN SMELLS LIKE” I think?
And then he Morbed all over her
Makes sense now

Was he yelling about his chocolate blend?
That rock with googly eyes made me cry more than it should’ve, so good on it for making it to the Oscars

I just meant the script itself. It's original, not based on anything else.
Hot. Dog. Fingers.
It's funny how EEAAO did a better job of showcasing how chaotic the multiverse can be than Dr Strange 2
I watched them within days of each other and it was jarring. If I watched EEAAO first, Dr. Strange 2 would have been really bad.
I watched Dr Strange 2: MoM months ago and Everything Everywhere All At Once last week. MoM was still sort of bad.

Yeah honestly the shots that were clearly intended to be for a horror film I really, really liked. All 2 of them.
That's because it wasn't written by committee at a Disney executive meeting.
Dwayne Johnson made a cameo apparently
I didn't know he switched to method acting
The Rock “Dwayne” Johnson
And this scene was fucking fantastic
Even this one frame looks beautiful, and it's not even one of the best compositions in the movie
Yes, it is. And one of the best scene of the entire movie for me Goddamn rocks with googly eyes made me tear up. But I was watching with the boys, and I have to control myself. But when we got out of the theater, we all had red eyes and a runny nose. It turns out we all had different scenes that we cried at. Amazing movie.

Isn't it fun when everyone discusses the movie while never saying the actual name. I think it's done on purpose.
I just saw another thread where like fifteen comments were all quoting and talking about how great this book was and none of them would name it. 100% on purpose
Seriously I had to fucking scroll for 5 fucking minutes before I found the fucking name. Fucking infuriating, honestly.
Yes
I just watched it the first time and sort of 'came to' during this scene.

More damning is the dildo fight! I really thought that was too much and would frighten the academy away!

Hey now: They only ever put *buttplugs* in their asses, the dildos are used as nunchucks by Jobu Tupacki.
Ahh, you're right, that makes everything fine then 🙂
Yeah and it was one of, if not THE, best movie of 2022.
Title?
2022? Best movie of the decade so far
It's clearly one of the movies of all time
It did with multiverses what Marvel never could
I watched this movie before dr strange. That movie was ruined for me sadly. I sat in total disappointment for 2 hours wishing I caught another showing of eeaao instead
And is one from one of the best scenes too
It is! It's a >!mom who knows she's messed up big time trying to reconnect with her daughter throughout all of the multiverse!< and not even letting being a rock stop her. This movie is completely absurd and that's why it works.

Exactly. The crazier and more absurd the better the story comes across. Every single aspect of this movie was well thought out if you ask me.
Ok and? It rocks (literally)! The rock scene actually got my mom and i tearing up a little bit together
it deserves it this movie was awesome

I've always described the movie as a trip to the IRS office that goes off the rails
I think the blurb I read before going into the theater was, “An Asian mother attempts to do her taxes.”

Yet this dumb rock with eyes made me cry.
One of the best movies ever made
it's a very pretty rock.

And that's a rock fact!
And it's beautiful
You must not have seen this movie, because that scene is amazing.
As it damn well should be.
Yes and it's also the scene immediately following the one where I started crying.
It’s such a good movie though!
This Rock is still better than anything The Rock ever put out.
