Speaking of new york and bagels, did anyone find all the characters completely unrelatable and unrealistic because they didn't talk about 9/11. It feels like they should have constantly been talking about it.

This movie ruled. I had a rough idea of what I was walking into, but it completely blew away my expectations. Ke Huy Quan was incredible, Michelle Yeoh was incredible, Stephanie Hsu was incredible. I laughed, I cried, I loved the whole thing.

Had a long talk with my mom about this movie and how it gave me a new understanding and appreciation for her and how even though we’re not a family of immigrant Chinese there was still a lot of overlap between the film and our poor paycheck to paycheck upbringing and how for lower class economic families you are often forced between pursuing your mental and emotional health and actually paying your bills and keeping food on the table and how just because you’re figuring out your own poo poo doesn’t mean everyone has to put up with you. She was touched and wants to watch the movie now. I’ll probably buy this movie just to own it forever so I can share it with her when it gets a wider release.

That's beautiful. It seems like this movie is bridging a significant generational divide for a lot of people, I keep seeing stories pop up like "After we watched this together my mom seemed to Get it."

Tangentially related since it's an A24 release, but keep an eye out for Marcel the Shell With Shoes On, another very sweet and optimistic tearjerker coming out next month. It isn't as profound as EEAAO but I feel like they compliment each other.

It's not a big deal but also it's trivially easy for them to at least change the credits so why shouldn't they?

As a Jewish person myself it flew completely over my head as antisemitic, in part because Jenny Slate does have a big nose and partially because it’s like the most anodyne and completely harmless thing you could say about someone. I feel like bringing attention to it and trying to make it about how the filmmakers failed the Jewish community is generating racism that isn’t there.

I'm Jewish too  different things just hit people differently. I don't see any issue with changing a thing that bothers people if it doesn't make much difference either way.

The juicy gossip was practically worth it too, like (then) Sony head Amy Pascal calling Angelina Jolie a “minimally talented spoiled brat,” as well as a “camp event and a celebrity.”

The Sony leaks were like The Man in the High Castle’s journal from a better universe: the 21 Jump Street/Men in Black crossover. EDM Spider-Man. I mourn what might have been.

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE IS AN IMMIGRANT HORROR STORY ABOUT TAX SEASON Loving all the Asian voices contributing to this film’s ideas and ideas exploration of different parts of the immigrant experience. Really adds a lot to appreciate about the film and it’s dimensions.

I saw the trailer and felt like it crossed the border into saccharine, you know, little shell with a child's voice changing the nation or whatever. Let me know if my impression was wrong. edit: I would have loved to see this “It was one of the disappointing things of having a movie that was bloated—we had to cut things. A couple of characters had to go and Jenny’s was one of them,” Kwan said to Digital Spy. “They have this little moment where Jenny’s character comes in with a weapon and they struggle over it for a moment and [Evelyn] turns it into a phone and becomes a FaceTime phone call with [Slate’s character’s] family, and her son is begging her to come to his birthday party.”

The Big Nose thing felt like something straight out of my experience working at a little mom & pop Chinese business. I see the case for changing the credits though--it's one thing for a character to do something; it's another for the creators themselves to do it.

Let me know if my impression was wrong. It's based on a series of internet shorts from a decade ago, also starring Jenny Slate. I would check those out to see if the style of humour is to your liking. I'm usually very repelled by saccharine content but it's far more grounded and emotionally mature than your impression is.

But it’s not like the screenwriter went out and called someone a Big Nose, he wrote it as a scene in a movie. The idea that you cannot represent something disrespectful or outdated without some kind of mea culpa or having one of the characters turn to the screen and explain that “Jewish people don’t all have big noses, that’s a stereotype!” just seems excessively silly to me. It’s literally OK if Evelyn is a teensy bit racist, she’s a 50 year old woman whose been working in a laundromat for her entire life, and it lines up with her also being homophobic. She’s flawed! In fact it’s a plot point that she is the shittiest version of herself across all realities! I just think artists should be able to represent things like racism or sexism or homophobia in modern art without people taking it as some kind of tacit support for that behavior. Taking offense to the “Big Nose” line denotes a lack of media literacy on the audience’s part, IMO, not a lack of sensitivity on the Screenwriter’s part.

In the credits, it's the writers calling her that. I don't even necessarily have a problem with the credits thing, but I see the argument there.

There's also the whole thing about it being a common term for white people broadly in china, not specifically jews. I kind of agree that crediting the character as that is a different story though. Like as bad as the DNS scene in pulp fiction is, it'd be a lot worse if Phil LaMarr was credited that way instead of Marvin.

This adds some much needed context, to be honest, and now the whole thing seems even sillier and makes the original complainers seem kind of self-absorbed and solipsistic. FWIW I think referring to an unnamed character in a movie by the only thing anyone in the movie referred to them is probably just a commonly accepted shorthand and not an insistence upon the filmmakers part that the actress needs a rhinoplasty.
