I'm almost positive I did not see any hanging dong in the movie. Did I somehow see a censored version?

Yeah, the junkal region is censored the whole fight, although there were a few tantalizingly high kicks shot face-on.

Cephas posted:very big ugly cry movie for me. had to keep it together near the end because there were some teenagers sitting next to me laughing at the hot dog fingers and raccoon and I was just biting down on my lip trying not to sob as the asian immigrant mom apologizes for mistreating her queer daughter. I thought the rock + cliff imagery and family pulling Joy out of the black hole were very deeply affecting film imagery.

Finally got around to this now that it hit home video / streaming and ... yeah the hype wasn't wrong. The line from ke huy quan: "You think because l'm kind that it means I'm naive, and maybe I am. It's strategic and necessary. This is how I fight." fuckin floored me. Man comes back after decades of not acting and then absolutely crushes it like the world's cheapest beer can.

I thought this was excellent and I think it'll probably improve a bit when I watch it again. But this hit less hard for me than Swiss Army Man. It feels crazy saying this about such a batshit movie but it felt like I was watching stuff that had been done before. I don't mind a conventional story but it hits less hard when you can basically tell what the entire emotional plot of the movie is going to be once you've watched the first five minutes. Swiss Army Man, meanwhile, hits the same saccharine notes but it also keeps you on your toes emotionally speaking by leaving some stuff up in the air, which lets it gut punch you in the end. Again, I really liked this movie, but it's just the wacky existentialist kung fu sci-fi version of the mom's story from Turning Red which I saw not too long ago. I hope Ke Huy Quan is back and that Stephanie Hsu is in way more stuff - everyone in this movie was fantastic but those two really stood out.

i did not think this was anything special. definitely an improvement over swiss army man which was execrable from start to finish, but the good ideas in here were weakened by the repetition and the unerring winkiness of the whole enterprise. we got three separate but nearly identical montages giving us three instances of catharsis when one would have been much more effective. obvious similarities to turning red as a story of intergenerational relationships among asian diaspora groups but just as with that movie it's not explored in any meaningful way aside from strict parents learning to love their children in a more cinematically satisfying fashion. a more interesting question to me is what are the motivating factors? what drives one generation to remain connected to their motherland while the next does everything they can to assimilate? why is it always incumbent upon the older generations to overcome their ways of thinking and never the younger ones to try to understand why their parents are the way they are? this doesn't mean just accepting outright bigotry or abuse obviously but there's never any give and take, which makes these sorts of stories ring hollow. like people seem to intuitively understand why jews foster tight-knit communities — among other things, it's a means of survival in a world that has on many occasions attempted to exterminate them — but don't think about that context when it comes to say, chinese immigrants, even though there's a clear history of oppression there too.

R. Guyovich posted:a more interesting question to me is what are the motivating factors? what drives one generation to remain connected to their motherland while the next does everything they can to assimilate? why is it always incumbent upon the older generations to overcome their ways of thinking and never the younger ones to try to understand why their parents are the way they are? I want to pick this part out because I don't think it's quite an accurate read of what the movie presents us with. To start, Evelyn pointedly [i]isn't[/t] connected with the motherland. She ditched her father to run away with Waymond and, if I remember correctly, this is their first time seeing Gong Gong since then. Part of Evelyn's character arc, in fact, is confronting her father. (This of course doesn't work very well—it further drives joy away—because the main journey Evelyn has to make isn't one of cultural reconciliation.) I also don't think the conflict between Evelyn and Joy is over assimilation. Evelyn thinks it is at the start, but she's pointedly mistaken. "Are you still hung up on the fact that I like girls in this universe?" The threat that's alienating Joy, rather than a clash of cultures, is the ambition and the need to climb the ladders of success. This doesn't come from failing to understand Evelyn. In fact, I think it comes from understanding Evelyn very well. I mentioned earlier that this is why we get the everything bagel/nihilism as representing the bad outcomes: they represent the threat that all of this ladder climbing amounts to nothing. All of the prestige and even wealth of success doesn't matter. Now, that dynamic is definitely typical of immigrant families, "wrong kind of doctor" and all that, but it also seems pointedly different from the question of cultural connectedness to the old country. It's a story of Chinese immigrants like Turning Red, and it's very thoroughly a story about immigrants. But I don't think it's a story of cultural conflict or incommensurability. Rather, it's a story about the conflicts that remain after any cultural questions have been settled.

I don't think this is their first time seeing Evelyn's dad since she left with him, Joy and him know each other and he comments that her Chinese is getting worse every time he sees her.

Agreed with the ambition point. Notably we see only one mega successful version of Evelyn. Maybe two if you want to count the brief portion of her as a singer. But it’s mainly her as laundromat owner, sign spinner, teppanyaki chef, hot dog hands, vs successful movie star. All of these are shown to be useful and portrayed with respect. Waymond makes the ambition point very clearly of course when as a ceo he states he wishes for simple family life vs his success. But Evelyn and Joy have the same moment. Joy points out that Evelyn can now be any one, including the movie star, but Evelyn states that she just wants to be there with joy. Their conflict ends then as Evelyn makes her choice. An interesting parallel is why Waymond and Evelyn chose to leave China and go to America. There’s some lines about how they can make their own success, so they left for ambition then. But the question then is if she and Waymond had stayed in China could she and her dad been happy too? Evelyn chides Joy at the end for also not trying enough in their relationship (rarely visits, never calls). And Evelyn has to remember to be affectionate with Waymond also. So there is an idea that love needs help from all. But then the what ifs are answered by the nature of the multiverse. Evelyn has the life she has and must make the most of it.
