Everything Everywhere All At Once

Warning: This article contains spoilers!

Initially seen as a quiet indie film, Everything Everywhere All At Once, the latest effort from directing team Daniels and producers A24, has become a classic since its premiere at South by Southwest. Grossing nearly $60 million USD at global box offices, the film has been praised for its complex plot carried by legendary actors Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and newcomer Stephanie Hsu.

Part 1: Everything

The film opens on Evelyn, a Chinese-American woman played by Michelle Yeoh who is struggling with both her financial and romantic situations. As her father arrives from China to prepare for a Lunar New Year celebration, Evelyn must attend a tax audit [1] regarding her family’s laundromat situation. At the same time, her husband is contemplating divorce due to her anger and unhappiness at home. To add even more stress to the situation, Evelyn is constantly fighting with her daughter, Joy, who feels distanced from and unhappy with her mother.

As Evelyn sits in her audit, surrounded by those she is fighting with, her husband Waymond’s body is taken over by his consciousness from another universe. Waymond explains to Evelyn that each choice made leads to the creation of a new possible universe, and all possible decisions create a vast multiverse of alternate versions of the same person. He states that he is from the “Alphaverse'' wherein Evelyn is a famous scientist that discovered how to move across different worlds.

In the Alphaverse, Joy has become a powerful figure who is able to freely and easily move across dimensions. She has begun destroying worlds and collecting them into what she calls an “everything bagel”—a ring of matter which includes all memories, objects, stories, and people from across the entire multiverse.

Part 2: Everywhere

Upon learning about the grave danger the universe is in, Evelyn sets out to explore the multiverse, looking at all the possible experiences she could have had. Across some of the iterations shown, Evelyn is a sign-spinner, kung-fu master, teppanyaki chef, and even a woman with hot dogs instead of fingers. By reviewing many of her major life choices, Evelyn sees the massive chaos of the multiverse, and begins to understand Joy’s nihilism [2].

As she and her daughter stare at the everything bagel, Evelyn considers how things could be if she simply gave up on trying to save the world. She briefly considers entering the bagel with her daughter, but comes to realize from her experiences with Waymond that love and care is enough to give meaning to life. In one of the film’s most poignant moments, the entire family reconciles and embraces one another inside of the laundromat, a scene so emotional that the IRS auditor allows the Wangs to redo their taxes.

Part 3: All at Once

In the emotional conclusion to the film, Evelyn and her daughter’s relationship has greatly improved. The family is seen having dinner, laughing and enjoying time with one another. After sharing a romantic moment with her husband in the lobby of the IRS building, Evelyn feels more confident than ever to confront her audit. As the film closes, hints of the previous multiverse chaos are shown, but Evelyn decides to stay with her family—happy and safe.

Reception

The film’s complex metaverse plot, with its rich morality and complicated character dramas, received widespread critical acclaim. Despite the small budget, Everything Everywhere All At Once managed to deliver a powerful message about the importance of love and compassion for family and friends.

Due to the complicated multiversal plot, each actor portrayed a diverse range of personalities and attitudes, making the roles particularly challenging. Therefore, it is remarkable that all of them rose to the challenge [3] of carrying such a complex plot.

영화 “에브리씽 에브리웨어 올 앳 원스”

경고: 이 교재는 스포일러를 포함하고 있습니다!

처음에는 차분한 독립영화 정도로 여겨진 “에브리씽 에브리웨어 올 앳 원스”는, 대니얼스 감독팀(대니얼 콴, 대니얼 쉐이너트)과 A24 제작사의 최신작으로, 사우스 바이 사우스웨스트 영화제에서 처음 선을 보인 후 명작이 되어 사람들의 입에 오르내리고 있습니다. 전 세계 박스 오피스에서 거의 6천만 달러의 총수입을 올린 이 영화는 얽히고설킨 복잡한 플롯으로 찬사를 받고 있으며 전설적인 배우 미쉘 양(양자경)과 조너선 케 콴 그리고 신인배우인 스테파니 수가 출연합니다.

파트 1: 모든 것

이 영화는 양자경이 연기한 중국계 미국인 여성 에블린의 등장으로 시작하는데, 그녀는 재정적인 문제와 애정 문제 모두에 어려움을 겪고 있습니다. 그녀의 아버지가 음력 설맞이 준비를 위해 중국에서 도착할 즈음, 에블린은 가족이 운영하는 세탁장에 대한 세무 감사를 받아야 합니다. 동시에 그녀의 남편은 그녀의 불같은 성격과 가정생활의 불행함 때문에 이혼을 생각하고 있습니다. 이런 상황에 에블린의 스트레스를 가중하는 것은, 엄마와 거리감을 느끼고 불만이 가득한 딸 조이와 끊임없이 언쟁을 벌이는 것입니다.

에블린이 싸움을 벌이고 있는 사람들에 둘러싸여 세무 감사를 받고 있을 때 남편 웨이몬드의 몸에 다른 세계에서 온 그의 의식이 들어옵니다. 웨이몬드는, 인간이 내리는 각각의 선택에 따라 서로 다른 세계가 만들어지고, 모든 가능한 선택들은 동일 인물의 각기 다른 버전들이 사는 거대한 멀티버스(다중세계)를 창조한다고 에블린에게 설명합니다. 웨이몬드는 자신은 “알파세계”에서 왔는데 그곳의 에블린은 다른 세계로 이동하는 방법을 발견해낸 유명한 과학자라고 말합니다.

알파세계에서 딸 조이는 여러 다른 차원의 세계를 자유롭고 쉽게 이동할 수 있는 위대한 능력을 가진 인물입니다. 그녀는 여러 세계들을 파괴하고, 모든 기억과 사물, 이야기, 그리고 멀티버스 전체에 존재하는 사람들을 포함하는 물질의 고리–그녀가 “에브리씽 베이글”이라고 부르는 것 안으로 그 세계들을 모아들이기 시작했습니다.

파트 2: 모든 곳

세계가 심각한 위험에 처했다는 것을 알게 되자, 에블린은 그녀가 겪을 수도 있었을 모든 경험들을 보면서 멀티버스 탐험에 나섭니다. 몇 개의 다른 세계에서 에블린은 광고판을 매고 광고하는 사람, 쿵후의 달인, 철판구이 요리사 그리고 심지어 핫도그 손가락을 가진 여자이기도 합니다. 자기 인생의 많은 주요한 선택들을 되새겨보면서 에블린은 멀티버스의 거대한 혼란을 보게 되고, 그래서 조이의 허무주의를 이해하기 시작합니다.

딸과 함께 에브리씽 베이글을 눈앞에 두고 쳐다보면서 에블린은 자기가 세상을 구하려는 노력을 그냥 포기하면 무슨 일이 일어날지 생각해봅니다. 그녀는 딸과 함께 베이글로 들어갈까 잠깐 생각해보지만, 이내 웨이몬드와 함께한 경험을 통해 사랑과 관심이 인생에 의미를 부여하기에 충분하다는 사실을 깨닫게 됩니다. 영화의 가장 인상적인 씬에서, 온 가족은 세탁장 안에서 서로 화해하고 포옹하는데, 이 장면은 너무 감동적이라 미국 국세청 감사관이 왕씨 가족에게 세금 보고를 다시 하도록 허락해줍니다.

파트 3: 다같이 동시에

영화의 감동적인 결말에 이르러 에블린과 딸의 관계는 놀랄 만큼 좋아졌습니다. 가족이 저녁을 먹으며 함께 웃고 즐거운 시간을 보내는 모습이 보입니다. 국세청 건물의 로비에서 남편과 애정어린 순간을 보낸 후, 세무 감사에 임하는 에블린은 그 어느 때보다도 자신감에 넘칩니다. 영화가 마무리될 때, 이전의 멀티버스의 혼돈으로 빠져들 힌트들이 눈앞에 나타났지만 에블린은 행복하고 안전하게 자기 가족과 함께 머물기로 결심합니다.

관전평

이 영화의 복잡한 메타버스 이야기는 풍부한 교훈과 복잡한 인물 드라마로 폭넓은 비평가들의 찬사를 받았습니다. 저예산으로 만들어졌음에도 이 영화는 가족과 친구들에 대한 사랑과 연민의 중요성에 대해 강력한 메시지를 전달하는데 성공했습니다.

복잡한 멀티버스 세계라는 배경으로 인해 배우들은 각자 다양한 인물 성격과 태도를 그려내야 했기 때문에 그 역할들을 특히 까다로웠습니다. 그래서 출연진 모두가 이와 같은 복잡한 이야기를 잘 그려내는 어려운 작업에 성공했다는 것은 놀라운 일입니다.
