The Movie That deserved all the flowers

I get the uproar about Angela Basset not getting an Oscar, but we have to be real about the let down Wakanda Forever was. Auntie had a great 30 minutes, but I was ready to drown in my drool halfway through. A movie that did keep me entertained from beginning to…almost the end (got a little weird and trippy) was Everything Everywhere All At Once directed by the Daniels, Daniel Kwan, Daniel Scheinert. I laughed, I cried, I was annoyed, I was confused and I connected.

As a 29-year-old African American woman who values family above everything else, I can't help but reflect on the concept of time and how it seems to slip away from us so quickly. Watching the new film, "Everything, Everywhere, All At Once," only amplified these thoughts.

The film centers around a woman named Debra who is suddenly thrust into a parallel universe where she must confront different versions of herself, each with their own experiences and regrets. The idea of multiple versions of oneself is a fascinating one, and it left me wondering about the paths not taken and the opportunities missed.

As someone who values family so highly, it's hard not to think about the time spent with loved ones and how it seems to go by so quickly. In the film, Debra is forced to confront the different versions of herself and come to terms with the choices she's made. It's a reminder that the choices we make in life can have lasting impacts, not just on ourselves but on those around us.

I couldn't help but think about my own family and the moments we've shared over the years. From holidays to birthdays, weddings, and everything in between, these moments are so precious and should be cherished. We can never get time back, and it's important to make the most of every moment we have.

The film also touches on the idea of regret, and the importance of forgiveness and letting go of past mistakes. As someone who has made mistakes in the past, I can relate to this idea. It's important to remember that we're all human, and that forgiveness is a powerful tool for healing and growth.

Overall, "Everything, Everywhere, All At Once" is a 10/10. A thought-provoking film that left me reflecting on the choices I've made and the moments I've shared with my family. It's a reminder to cherish every moment, to live without regret, and to always be open to new experiences.
