Reply to comment by OneManFreakShow in Michelle Yeoh winning the Academy Award for Best Actress would be such a unifying and positive event but I'm scared the Oscars will disappoint on that department. by [deleted]
EEAAO is not just a "quirky" movie. For so many of us, it resonated because we felt seen. Ours lives were depicted in one (or multiple) of the universes of EEAAO, our dreams were depicted in EEAAO, our hopes, our aspirations, our relationships, our struggles, our fears. It's one of thos rare pieces of art that is entertaining and deeply moving at the same time. So no, I disagree that the love many of us are showing for EEAAO is just because it's the "quirky in thing"

I’ve seen this take so many times and I just don’t get it. Maybe if the movie took itself seriously for five minutes I would understand the moments that are apparently deeply emotional, but it doesn’t. The movie just treats everything like a dumb joke and I can’t imagine why any of it would honestly make someone feel “seen” in that way. It has nothing to say that hasn’t been stated by dozens of movies every year.
