Everything, Everywhere, All At Once

It was an interesting movie... most of the casts are Chinese immigrants, and the story is all about them, so it's hard to understand what's going on without subtitles for their Chinese conversations.  The idea of a lot of different universes branch out based on the choices ou make in life, and 'verse jumping' enables you to travel between them.  There was a lot of actions, too.  It was quite chaotic and confusing as it doesn't follow a regular storyline (intro, problem happens, solved), and the main character, Evyline, travels between different verses and we don't know which one is 'real'.  Quite a concept.  I understand why it won the Academy Award.  

It may be hard to relate to for some Americans, because most of the conversations are in Chinese in the beginning, and the introduction is lengthy enough to make you wonder if it is really an "action & adventure" movie that it was touted to be.  Anyways, it was quite interesting to watch, despite, being, somewhat overwhelming.  

My earbuds for hearing protection worked greatly.  I will use them again whenever I will go to a cinema or a karaoke.

Harry Shun Jr. was on it!  He was on Glee as well, a really good dancer.  It was nice to see a familiar face there.
