So I watched Everything Everywhere All at Once and it broke me.
This was the type of film that makes you cry but not in the way where you sob with “proper” grief and sadness and pain.
It’s the type of crying where you get to the rock scene and suddenly your face is wet and you have feelings that you just can’t put into words. Your face is wet, but you don’t feel like you’re actually crying. It’s a profound emptiness in your chest that can’t be broken with a sob like its supposed to. You aren’t crying, I can’t say that this flim will make you cry, but something will happen to you in your chest and your face and ur forced to wonder how many universes there are that have you siting in a theatre and maybe in one of them ur properly sobbing.
It’s a beautiful film about choosing love and kindness and purpose. Its a plead to find joy in the day to day, use kindness even whenyoyre hurt and so, so confused in this fucking ridiculous world we live in. That we choose to live in, every day, everywhere, all the time and all at once.
I can’t describe how much I love this movie. I want to find some good screen caps of the rock scene and make it my wallpaper for my phone so I can see a stupid little rock with googly eyes everyday to remind myself that yes, nothing matters, and life is so absurd that nothing mattering and choosing to love anyway is the actual meaning of life.

“So, even though you have broken my heart yet again, I wanted to say, in another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you.”
