 all that I ever knew I could be was kind just be kind everybody be kind it's clear that everything everywhere all at once is the greatest asian-american movie ever made but is it possibly one of the greatest movies ever a period let's talk about why it might just be oh man this movie has been going viral for like the past year andrew they just won some golden globes onto the oscars but we got to talk about it andrew why is this probably for a lot of people the best asian-american movie ever right that's probably been established to be fair there haven't been a lot of other ones it just had to beat c ra basically right but um is it one of the best movies ever period well i'll tell you this it's got one of the most rabid fan bases one of the directors daniel kwan had to go out on twitter and calm the fans down and be like hey guys hey guys hey guys you can stop spewing hatred towards the people who are criticizing the movie everybody can have their view on the movie thank you there were so many great movies this year i'm glad that you guys love our movie but just please calm down people are willing to die for this movie no don't you ever say anything and i can see why honestly initially i was kind of like surprised by like the whole cultish following but after seeing you know kihwe kwan's you know um except in speech and his post award sort of speeches same with michelle yo it really touched me and i was like man this is the one so just quickly thank you hollywood foreign press for giving me this honor it's been an amazing journey an incredible fight and we got to talk about the five reasons andrew why everything everywhere oh you know all at once is the one all right so guys if you are as excited about this video and you want more people watch it please do us a favor and hit that like button right now for the algorithm's sake but david let's get on to reason number one out of five it is technically an incredible movie it's technically the best asian american movie but i think in terms of technical film work storytelling drawing all the layers together we're talking about like the craft of filmmaking this is probably one of the most well crafted movies ever made from any country to have that many different scenes multi versus costume different scenes and everything like and then to have it all make sense and you didn't lose track that was the greatest thing is that you saw all these different backdrops but it wasn't that confusing yeah i said that people were saying it was absurdism existential nihilism filial piety confusionism east meets west sort of like cultural conflicts and i think that there were so many aspects into it where it made people cry but then it was kind of absurd like rick and morty and then there was kung fu and then there was the matrix but it all came together so a technical masterpiece and for it to be attached to an asian storyline with all asian actors big deal moving on to number two andrew oh i got to for i can't we can't forget to mention a lot of asian hipster fans or representations on the internet they were previously always critical of asian works andrew they had the heart in the right place but a lot of times the production value is not there and that's kind of true right because our community is like kind of far behind in terms of getting the production values yeah which leads to point number two that given how much it costed to make the budget of the movie it was extremely successful one of the most successful the only movie that it did not out gross was crazy rich asians right but that's a pretty high but who knows i mean it's still going yeah and it already 10x so you don't know about the streaming sales it only costed 15 million dollars to make honestly and i know 15 million in dollars to a regular person obviously is a lot but in the movie sense it's not and i think they're going to value this success first of all shout out to cra shout out to john chu andrew shout out to your point three second cameo oh three frames i'm in it background that 10x on the box office that they had versus the cost people are going to be like yeah but it was kind of a cheesy movie like jaw rules music or flow riders they're going to view um everything everywhere all the ones almost more like good kid mad city from kendrick lamar where it's a little bit more of an underground sound way more hipster but it is like lauded and approved more by the taste makers by the lower east side williamsburg silver lake a taste maker hipsters and let me tell you this player everything everywhere all at once probably a lot more like noz ilmatic too you know first album still a legend always a legend painted just change no features yeah because i think people said yo between the meaning of the movie and the artistry on the back end of this movie it like blew my mind and um i don't know also i do think there's a thing where it's like asians generally approve something that's like become mainstream successful we'll get to that we'll get to that guys uh the next point is that you know it just had this legendary star from asia who has had such a actually illustrious great career but mostly over there a little bit over in america and then now she kind of like is i guess reaching her global peak in michelle yeah you're talking about the yellow queen yo this is queen queen b michelle like asians were looking for a queen we needed a Beyonce we needed a Madonna we needed somebody a woman that was so strong and undoubtedly talented and classy yeah and she also does call out racism too and classy yeah her and key kwe kwan who was obviously was data from goonies he had a 35 year spell in his career where he's like hollywood didn't want me but i'm back thank you and he's so grateful and he kind of acts like a cartoon character but i'll say back to michelle yo i think that her classiness sort of being this in her real life but also her portrayals this like elite woman from like colonial indochina if you guys know about that region it's like it's about when the british colonized southeast asia or parts of asia but like people were still able to rise up through that system and they represent this classiness and almost like a blend of east and west that it took like a hundred years to achieve yeah yeah and and and you don't yeah i mean don't let's credit i mean we gotta give the british some credit because i think that's where obviously some of her accent comes from some of her mannerisms are british which went to boarding school over in britain and i do want to say let's not forget that after all the roles she's played that people knew to see her as like a poor lower middle class mother was extremely interesting because you saw her just the last time you saw her essentially was crazy rich asian and she was the richest woman in singapore and then now she's playing like this poor asian chinese like she doesn't carry herself very much like a queen but she was like on letterman back in the day when she's like yucky it's a chauvinistic pic but yeah shout out to key too and key his whole story arc of his goal you know being in data from data from the goonies and then he talks about being rejected for many years and then now he's like eveline you're entering the third multi parts and then it's just like now he's this big star and hopefully the roles that he has next are also and stephanie stews uh stephanie stews story as well capturing a lot of different markets point number four andrew it's just this mishmash of old and new just like this irreverent attitude and people really when they see something that's a mishmash of things that influence their identity but have never been put together they just are ready to die for it i saw this same thing with tyler the creator kid cuddy khanye farel childish gambino aka donald glover their fan bases are like rabbit and i can see why daniel kwan the director actually had to tell them oh hey guys chill out chill out if people don't like the movie they don't get it it's all good don't don't need to come for their heads i think it's one of those movies that a lot of people even though they love it i don't think they want to see a sequel get ruined they don't want to see like this turn into like a cartoon and then it kind of bring down the whole brand of it all like i think it almost standing as this like gold standard for what movies are now is like perfect and it should probably just stay that way do you think that people who previously felt unseen like kind of like asian geek hipster like but artistic people like they felt seen by this movie oh dude for sure man and i mean i think there's so many different layers to it that you can relate to um whether it's the uh mother daughter aspect father uh husband wife aspect that they're kind of disconnected and then you even have the grandfather in there you have the uh the uh lgbt daughter right and then her whole story and then she has an interracial lgbt relationship and then and then it's finances and all this other stuff um unfulfilled dreams of the mother uh like that the american dream not always fully being the american dream even jamie lee curtis is sort of like i hate my job as a tax woman or whatever yeah no i mean dude there was just so many layers there was a lot of different stories lines um and then point number five david just to kind of sum it all up the fifth reason why it is going to be such a legendary movie for uh for years to come and it's going to be the gold standard for especially asian movies but maybe any movie ever um is that just like it was inspirational to women it's inspirational to asian asian women and honestly asians just needed something that non asians thought was really cool right legitimately not like they were they're forced to embrace it out of like diversity like like cra crazy rich asians we can all agree was like a fun movie but like i don't think young cool stylish like hipster non asians you know the silver like williamsburg yeah no but like they're everybody in texas everybody all at once is looking at everywhere all at once yeah like it's a massive and i don't want to say like for example i was talking to my v friend and my cambodian friend the other day from back home they didn't even know this movie existed they they missed it yeah because they were just they were just like what well they're not in the conversations they probably don't follow those accounts they're not tapped into like asian media yeah because to be fair everything everywhere all at once it's really for like the middle class and i think that the middle class almost felt unseen because they didn't feel they actually the middle class people consume a lot of content and they're very like media savvy they're on all the websites metacritic and rotten tomatoes and everything like that but cra was almost more about like the rich it's like uh wealth porn and then you know obviously it's not like a hood story or anything like that no i mean to this day i think the amount of eyeballs that watch crazy rich asians is still larger than this movie obviously it's still grossed more yeah because i was like pop music this is like that you know kendrick more people have seen crazy rich asians technically but the people in the love for everything everywhere all at once is like unmatched it's honestly unmatched man i've never seen i did not know that there was crazy k-pop stands but for this movie and that's what they have and they never felt that towards any piece of asian american content before because unless you are actually a crazy rich asian like from kevin quans background why would you literally be able to empathize with that old money world eveline all that i ever knew i could be was kind just be kind everybody be kind where do you think that this is going to take asian entertainment finally and let's just say they win an oscar i'm thinking michelle yo wins an oscar i think they win for sure at least one key 50 50 on key because there's some stiff competition best picture i'm also 50 50 on that i don't think the academy's gonna like want to give it to something that like frenetic and silly even though they're people i could see them winning some of editing awards or things like that uh cinematography award possibly you know just because like the amount of directing and the shots were crazy but yeah where do i think it takes man i think it's set i hope it inspires a lot of people to make more films and but i do think it's a little intimidating in the fact of how good it was it was like the first time you ate a lady m cake with the 27 layers matcha i don't know what is this and david earlier we were kind of debating on whether you consider this quote and unquote an asian american film even though the characters are all asian they do speak an asian language and there's an asian director there was obviously a whole back end to it that involved so many other types of people you know non asian same team from where scott pilgrim right right right so yeah i think it is it is like a joint effort it's like a uh but i do i consider the asian american film even though it doesn't go through like the asian american film festival but really this didn't belong there right this is like on another level but i guess like to me it's almost like uh man what's like a it's like a hybrid mom i compared the best thing i could compare to is either frank oceans first album the alpha integra or uh tyler the creators first album or childish gambino's first album not his mixtapes where people are just like i don't know i think i think it'll inspire more but it may be tough to match this as the gold standard you know what i mean especially with all if you're a whole back end asian you're a whole back end watch mechanisms asian anyway guys there's a lot of filmmaking talk we could do if you guys like this video i'm sure we could make a hundred more but i didn't want to like leave out everybody who's not like a super deep media let us know in the comments down below what you think about the movie all right is it truly one of the greatest movies you've ever seen and obviously it's a personal opinion anybody this can be their favorite movie of all time and talking about for what reason too because a lot of people liked it just because it was the biggest asian american movie ever but also you could like it for a bunch of other reasons honestly the action was good there was good comedy there was ridiculous moments there's flying dildos and there's like kung fu and all the like moitai and then there's like weird like symbolism and then crazy costumes there's some gore there's a lot of story like and then there's old asian people and then there's hot dog fingers guys there's just they didn't have anything asian though i would have liked some like an asian cousin acknowledging the enclave life and since it's at the end of the video i'll acknowledge that i i i it did take me some time to appreciate this movie on the level that i do now because at first i was like oh wow i want to switch this character out why is the husband got to be like this or like he seems a little bit push over but actually it all falls in line together and uh honestly it's just it's great movie so product market fit man grand slam sometimes hey these are historical mlb moments where somebody hits a grand slam to win the world series man there's a lot of things that gotta fall into place for it to happen let us know what you thought of the movie in the comment section below well how do you think it'll do in the oscars is it overrated underrated rightfully rated and until next time we the hop hop boys we out peace
