EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE
Presented by Kate Burkart
At first glance, Everything Everywhere All at Once is not your typical Oscar-winning movie. A wildly inventive, universe-jumping story about getting your taxes filed, it features characters with hot dogs for hands, a nihilistic bagel, and a fight scene centered on an adult toy. Nevertheless, the film swept this year’s Oscars, picking up not only Best Picture, but winning three of the four acting awards, as well as best original screenplay and best director for “the Daniels” (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert), and breaking diversity barriers. What is going on?
Demonstrating the persistence of love and reminding us that the key to happiness isn’t lamenting what isn’t, it’s being grateful for the beauty that is, the film offers plenty for us to discuss!
