i don’t think i can ever genuinely express how meaningful ‘everything everywhere all at once’ sweeping the oscars meant to the asian community. but since i don’t want to be too emotional on main bc this entire day has kept me on the edge of my seat like no other, i just want to say one thing that might make the movie a little sweeter:

the english subtitles of the iconic taxes and laundry line that waymond delivers say ‘in another life, i would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you’

BUT, in mandarin, what the raw line is: ‘in another life, i still would have chosen to be with you doing laundry and taxes’.

and i think that piece of dialogue truly is so special because waymond would still CHOOSE this supposed ‘miserable’ life of running a laundromat so long as he was still with evelyn and UGH I’M- IF ONLY THIS WAS TRANSLATED PROPERLY BC IT HURTS ME THIS LINE HURRRRRTS ME 😭😭

#i won’t go into a rant on everything i feel about eeaao #because it would just be too raw and the words would spill out of my mouth before i can stop them #this film was the one that felt too close to home.#that’s all i will say #thank goodness this movie got as many Oscar’s as it deserved bc holy shit #no movie will actually ever compare to this one in terms of storytelling and nuanced characterisations #earfsmercury #ok that’s all no more ranting
