Everything Everywhere All At Once - Michelle Yeoh but there's dozens of her

Doctor of Autism said:
The fact that Jamie Lee Curtis is nominated for Best Supporting Actress over Stephanie Hsu is disgusting. JLC was the absolute worst part of the movie as I've said before and will say it more if somehow she gets the award.

Weirdly i noticed she has done a total 180 recently. She was very ooc about the nepotism piece because before that she was one of the few who actually acknowledged her own privilege and upbringing, like there's a famous quote where she talks about audition for Halloween she knows that they're gonna look at her different than other actresses. But now she is the complete opposite acting like being called out is an attack on her. I really think her son (from the infamous 4 panel lunch argument meme) trooning out really affected her.

What's annoying is she was literally everywhere doing press for EEAAO. Like she assumed control of the conversations and shit. I know James Hong asked her to be one of the speakers at his Walk of Fame induction and she was very weird speaking about it. Like woman you are not the reason the film is a success.

Anyway I wanted to ask if anyone has seen any of the films Michelle did in the 80s? I saw that Yes Madam and some others are getting remaster, Cynthia Rothrock in it too.
It's called "In the Line of Duty I-IV Set" and looks like Michelle is in two and the other two star this actress named Cynthia Khan?? (Girls with guns films is why I love Charlie's Angels, Black Widow, The Villainess, Noir, Madlax, etc)
I'm not really understanding the dubbing as far as giallo, spaghetti western, and kung fu films go. Did any of the actors dub themselves? I saw that Cantonese is also a track in the films as well as the Police Story films. (In the remaster trailers for Yes Madam and Royal Warriors, the voices are not Michelle so it kinda took me off guard)

Also allegedly The Heroic Trio films are getting Criterion releases. God I fucking need them.

I'm not familiar with the meme (I think). And I know very little about her background or her son. She's the daughter of a... wait. She's not. Okay, I stopped typing and looked up to see if she might be the daughter of Tony Curtis and she was. Huh! Well, I'm sorry to say it but he made a more convincing woman than she did! It must suck being the mother of a trooning son in Hollywood. You literally cannot voice the slightest hesitation about it or you'll never work again and lose most of your friends.

Maybe he'll untroon and hasn't done too much damage to himself? I've no idea who he is.

She was fine in the role on topic, I thought. She was quite convincing to me as a weary tax inspector honestly.

I saw it today, i liked it, I was entertained and i agree with most pros and cons people listed earlier in the thread.

I personally don't think it was Josh's autism and/or short attention span, that prevented him from finishing this movie, but the degeneracy, which was presented as a part of movie choreography, and i gotta say, i was also off-put by it: there is a part, where Michelle Yeoh's opponets need to do something silly to boost themselves and gain access to martial arts powers and this action is to insert something up their rectums, which they do and then proceed to fight Yeoh's character bare-assed, with objects sticking-out from their bungholes, with their blurred genitals flaping about."

There are couple more disgusting/dege things, that happen later, but the aforementioned one was the most painfull for me to sit through.

I think the movie was neat, definitely recommend it, but my two main issues are:

1.) The random shit you need to do to connect to another universe. At first I thought it would be that you need to replicate the one action that caused a butterfly effect that led you to taking a different path in life. But no, apparently its just a completely random action irrelevant of what the other universe is as long as said thing its extreme and OOC enough.

Yeah, finding something relevant for the 80 powerups would have been a bit harder, but the fact that people just stick stuff up their ass and chug orangaid somewhat detracts from the overall experience, because it stops being about "other paths in life" and starts beign more about "Who can be the biggest clown in a fight?"

I get that its a comedy, but when the film becomes "The guy who can stick a bigger dildo up his ass gets a bigger levelup" detracts from the fact that we're supposed to be taking the emotional aspect of the multiverse seriously.

The fact that at one point they completely drop the "specific requirement" that somewhat grounded things and it literally becomes "do the most random thing to win" is even dumber.

2.) The lesbian daugher. This is a family of chinese immigrants, the fact that the daughter was dating a non chinese person is already extreme enough for them that it would cause the same rift. Being a lesbian ontop of it is way too much to be believable considering how important family, kids and grandkids are to the chinese. We seriously supposed to believe that the hardcore traditionallist grandpa that doesn't even want to speak english would have been ok with "You're never gonna see grandkids motherfucker, deal with it."

Overall however, like I said, I like the film. Excluding those issues, its well writen, well acted, well shot, well choreographed, it presents enough new ideas and handles them intrestingly enough that I think regardless of your overall opinion of the film there's gonna be at least one aspect you find enthralling.

Yeah. Maybe I just have a knee-jerk reaction to anything that seems like IDPOL, but I couldn't help but think that scene felt like a lecture to the audience. The grandfather might not have minded having a lesbian granddaughter, though, since he's already cut off his family line by having only one girl and no sons..

A thing I don't understand is that, reading about the film online, the message of the film is "nothing matters because we're all star particle (but don't you dare to be homophobic!)". But you have an Asian cast and the different universe part sounds like it's referencing Buddhism which is completely different than the braindead nihilism the film promotes.
 
I swore i read it on kiwifarms but someone commented that the universe jumping stuff was just a real life version of how hacking is/was done on the SNES. You do something that would look/be nonsensical only for it to correspond to writing certain codes into the game.


Also i'm 100% sure that the movie is only as successful as it is because of the gender flip. its literally like how the Matrix originally had NEO being played by a nigger. This is probably the only time in recent memory where the woman is treated like shit and her Husband actually does know best. I think that and a bunch of the other themes because of it resonated so well with audiences compared to the usual crap because it really does treat the characters so differently. Again the woman and her daughter aren't treated remotely well and are blatantly treated as in the wrong with the daughter getting shit for being nihilistic/degenerate same with the wife for treating her husband the same way you see husbands treated in every sitcom and commercial instead of listening to his advice to the point where the husband initiates a divorce (which also shows how little they changed once they flipped the genders)
