ii. He chooses to remember that “there’s always something to love.”
6. “So what”
a. The movie looks at everything and dares enough to say “so what?”. Even if we’ve
already missed the chance to be happy, even if nothing matters, we can say“so
what?.”
Everything Everywhere All at Once is a film that
captures Evelyn and her daughter’s truggle in a
way that is relatable to everyone. Its core
message, “nothing matters, so what” perfectly
resonates with not only the characters’s emotion,
but also with countless viewers who have ever
doubted the meaning of their lives. The film also
conveys the significance of being empathetic,
which is one of the ways we can keep finding a
meaning in our lives.
This video made me want to rewatch the movie. But most importantly, it taught me
the difficulty of finding a meaning as a youtuber. As the title suggests, the creator
made this video while being at a loss about not getting enough result in his career. He
repeatedly states during the video that he keeps uploading the video just because he
can move minute percent of youtube viewers. Even though he consistantly carries
great budern of subscribers, copyrights, and thumnails, they barely represent what he
truely does. What matters is that he is a youtuber with an intention to make somebody
feel nice.
