Reply to Movies without a main character? by Ok-Impress-2222

Luis Buñuel's Le Fantôme de la liberté (The Phantom of Liberty)

One long surreal river of a movie that flows from character to character, situation to situation with absurd and hilarious dream-logic scenarios.

It is glorious.

Reply to Does anyone thinks the pacing of Everything, Everywhere, All at Once was a little off at the mid point? by jcgonzmo

I liked it but didn't love it. A friend of mine LOVED it and bought the Blu-Ray, so I'm planning to watch it again in a few months.

I think the film could have had 20 or 30 minutes cut out and it would have been much better.

I could see what they were going for with the mother/father/daughter dynamic and all the multiverse possibilities, but for me, I felt like the film spend to much time on the multiverse ideas and not enough on the family history and fraught relationships.

At the end, I didn't get much of an emotional reaction because I didn't feel like that had been earned because the family story was drowned out by the frenetic action and comic silliness.

I'll be curious to see if my opinion changes.

Reply to comment by kasetti in Michelle Yeoh winning the Academy Award for Best Actress would be such a unifying and positive event but I'm scared the Oscars will disappoint on that department. by [deleted]

Lol you literally said she could barely speak english which is patently false especially because she was brought up in an english speaking household. She was born in malaysia then went to school in the uk so you’re obviously talking out of your ass or more concerning, you have a legitimate hearing problem.

And frankly, it’s besides the point. She has actual dramatic acting chops and more range than Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan outclasses her in stuntwork (shocking for a stuntman turned actor) and comedic chops but she is a better dramatic actor in terms of more nuanced expressions and conveying emotion.

Oh and p.s, maybe actually watch the movie? I mean you’re commenting on her acting when the buzz is revolving around a film that you said you haven’t watched. A pretty asinine comment in general.
