At the last major awards ceremony before Sunday’s Oscar ceremony, the film “Everything and Everywhere and At Once” won another prize.
The Writers Guild of America named the film’s original screenplay the best of the year, but not everyone likes the film.
Despite the mixed feelings of the audience, this film is going. In recent weeks, he has been highly praised by producers and actors.
It’s a huge hit at the box office worldwide, but some people found it difficult to watch.
The film has been called a landmark in Asian cinema as well as a “turning point”.
“My son saw it, he loved it, you know, he’s an Asian-American, you know, and I said, ‘why do you like it,'” he said, “never seen anything like it,” Professor Christine said. Choi from New York University.
The mix of different genres is exciting to Gen Z, but some of their parents are not so enthusiastic.
“I wanted to like it, okay? But it was too busy for me,” Professor Choi admitted.
There’s a generation gap between those who get the movie and those who don’t.
“Typically, the older you get, the less you like ‘Everything everywhere and at once’, which I understand. It’s very crazy. It’s chaotic. He is hard to follow. He jumps everywhere. It’s everything, everywhere, all at once,” Vanity Fair contributor Chris Murphy said.
That’s why, as one Hollywood producer explained, it resonates with young moviegoers.
“My peers love the absurd element and the big silly odds,” said producer Cathy Boleyn.
Boleyn has worked on blockbusters like “Booksmart” and thinks the film with the most Oscar nominations is remarkable.
“The success of this film showed that we can take risks and that filmmakers and artists can take risks, and there’s real success in that,” she said.
The foundation of the film’s success lies in the young professionals like Sib Mohapatra and Alison Tseng who have embraced it.
“Yes, it was a very emotional reaction because I think this movie was a really deep dive into showing the immigrant experience embedded in another science fiction story,” Tseng said.
This story has become universal because it also shows how stressful growing up in the digital age can be.
“And this film is a literal way to explore that anxiety,” Mohapatra said.
How can you dismiss a film that Zeng says made her think about the relationship she had with her own mother?
“Everything everywhere and at once” lasts more than two hours, but some young people wish it was longer.
Whether you like this movie or not, we can all agree that it represents a turning point. It received 11 Oscar nominations, more than any other film that year.
