I never meant to have a channel where I dive into shows and movies and such, but I am a bit obsessed with storytelling and culture and connecting the dots to find meaning, and so here I am for a fourth time to dive into the themes, layers, meanings and all that goes into a story I love. (Anyone know the other three titles I've covered before? It's Raya and the Last Dragon, Ted Lasso, and Maya and the Three.)
This time around, the layers of meaning and significance in Everything Everywhere All At Once are so rich and expansive that I think pretty much anyone who watches it will find something personally meaningful that's a little unique.
For me... any story that revolves around a character taking a leap of faith to step into a situation that seems bleak, hopeless, or impossible and finds a way to make life a deliberate choice sinks in pretty deep. In this case, the bleak situation happens to be an all-consuming nihilistic fatalism, depression, and sense of rejection that reminded me a bit of things from my own life I've had to work through.
I think this is my longest video to date, and I dive a bit into the world of philosophy, my own personal journey, and interesting tidbits of the movie to highlight how I found such rich meaning in Everything Everywhere All at Once.
