Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. What a great title. Everything Everywhere, All at Once is a 2022 absurdist comedy-drama movie. The plot centers on a Chinese American immigrant, Evelyn, her family and their laundromat. While being audited by the IRS, Evelyn realizes that she must connect with parallel universe versions of herself to prevent a powerful being from causing the destruction of the multiverse. The characters connect with the other aspects of themselves through intention and, to support the claim that the film is absurd, with a very bizarre action, like eating a tube of lipstick.
The movie has many metaphysical themes that you might find interesting and even help you to explore more about the multiverse. If you read the book Pull Your Self Together by Rebecca Whitecotton – see my blog entry from July 2021 Pull Your Self Together – Standing in the Light (iamstandinginthelight.com) – this movie may be another push to look at merging all your alternate realities. This movie might even encourage you to contemplate universes or past lives where you weren’t human. Again, great entertaining seed planting from Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, who wrote and directed the movie.
At many points in the film, I kept thinking, what were the writers smoking when they wrote this screen play. When I mentioned that to a friend, she came back with the perfect rejoinder, “Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.”
