Reply to comment by astrosail in everything everywhere all at once is just a good movie by TheCamelKnight

“People who love something I don’t are just ignorant unlike me” is a heck of a thing to believe. Is it not possible their life experiences are just different than yours and thus some of the aspects of the film mean more than them? I really liked the film but it’s not an all time favourite for me. I’ve also seen all of the other works you’ve mentioned have have high opinions of two of them. The third I found insufferable but I don’t think you’re dumb for liking it.

Who are you quoting? Because it ain’t me. I mentioned those movies because they involve a few elements which are integral to Everything Everywhere All at Once’s story, those being the idea of multiverses, running Windows XP out of a moving van to battle the evil new robots, and time travel. Of course their life experiences are different. Maybe they never watched Rick and Morty or the Matrix, so they think the ideas and technology in EEAAO are so novel and exciting that they think it’s the best movie in the world. See what I mean?

Maybe you didn’t mean what I quoted but if not then your first sentence is very poorly worded. Because it clearly states the only people who go wild about this movie are people ignorant of those works.

I mean, I found Rick and Morty to be obnoxious and intellectually a snore but I get other people love it. But I’m not going around saying people who like it just haven’t seen a David Lynch film before. It’s just not for me and is for other people. That’s a-ok! I won’t go to the TV sub and post “Rick and Morty is just a good show”.

Yeah, it wouldn’t make sense to go around saying people who dislike Rick and Morty just haven’t seen David Lynch films. I don’t think Rick and Morty uses any elements that are already very established elements in certain works of David Lynch.
