Gunpowder Milkshake × Ocean's 8 FUSION

[Everything Everywhere All at Once and the Euphoria in Empathy]

At the core of this mind-bending multiverse film starring Michelle Yeoh lies a story about true connection and being present in a world full of distractions.  By Noelle Webster

[....]

As for leading actor Yeoh, in some ways, it feels as though her iconic, impressive career has been building towards this movie. Her performance contains multitudes—she’s funny, fierce, and badass but also allows herself to be vulnerable, pathetic, and lost. Yeoh as Evelyn—and the versions of herself across the multiverse—feels so real that she grounds the movie, making even the most absurd scenes relatable for the audience. A key scene depicts Evelyn facing off against a super-strong Deirdre from another universe, and to defeat her Evelyn must do something completely unexpected. She must tell Deirdre that she loves her—and mean it. In the moment it’s played for laughs but it ultimately takes on a different meaning as the movie progresses. In one universe—a universe where humans evolved to have hot dogs for fingers—Evelyn and Deirdre struggle to fix their fractured romantic relationship. It seems hot-dog-hands Evelyn isn’t too skilled at talking things out, much like the Evelyn from the core universe where the movie begins. 

Later in the core universe, Deirdre arrives at Evelyn’s laundromat to have her arrested for attacking Deirdre—only to call off the cops once she hears that Waymond has served Evelyn with divorce papers. In a quiet moment, Deirdre recalls when her own husband divorced her, and feels she has a better understanding of Evelyn’s situation. “Unlovable bitches like us make the world go ‘round,” Deirdre tells Evelyn. In that moment they understand each other, and they embrace. They aren’t unlovable, and they aren’t alone.
