FILM ANALYSIS

OF

EVERYTHING
EVERYWHERE
ALL AT ONCE
CREATED BY:
VON HARVEY MENDOZA
RICO MARCAIDA

OVERVIEW
A 2022 AMERICAN SCIENCE FICTION FILM DIRECTED BY THE DANIEL
KWAN AND DANIEL SCHEINERT, STARRING MICHELLE YEOH AND

STEPHANIE HSU. THE MOVIE EXPLORES THE IDEA OF PARALLEL

UNIVERSES, WHERE A WOMAN NAMED LING (MICHELLE YEOH)


DISCOVERS THAT SHE IS CONNECTED TO OTHER VERSIONS OF

HERSELF ACROSS MULTIPLE REALITIES.


THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLED THE FILM A "SWIRL OF GENRE

ANARCHY" WITH ELEMENTS OF SURREAL COMEDY, SCIENCE

FICTION, FANTASY, MARTIAL ARTS FILMS, AND ANIMATION.


THE FILM PREMIERED AT SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST ON MARCH 11,

2022, AND BEGAN A LIMITED THEATRICAL RELEASE IN THE

UNITED STATES ON MARCH 25, 2022, BEFORE A WIDE RELEASE

BY A24 ON APRIL 8, 2022. IT WAS A COMMERCIAL SUCCESS AND

GROSSED OVER $107 MILLION WORLDWIDE, BECOMING A24'S

FIRST FILM TO CROSS THE $100 MILLION MARK AND SURPASSING

HEREDITARY (2018) AS ITS HIGHEST-GROSSING FILM.


ELEMENTS OF THE MOVIE
1. USE OF VISUAL LANGUAGE

THE FILMMAKERS USED A MIX OF STYLES,


INCLUDING ANIMATION, LIVE-ACTION, AND CGI, TO
CREATE A VISUALLY STUNNING WORLD THAT REFLECTS
THE THEME OF THE FILM. THE USE OF DIFFERENT
TECHNIQUES NOT ONLY ADDED TO THE FILM'S VISUAL
APPEAL BUT ALSO HELPED TO DIFFERENTIATE
BETWEEN THE VARIOUS REALITIES.
ELEMENTS OF THE MOVIE
2. USE OF COLOR

ANOTHER IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF THE FILM.


EACH UNIVERSE HAS ITS COLOR PALETTE, RANGING
FROM BRIGHT AND VIBRANT TO DULL AND MUTED.

FOR EXAMPLE, LING'S PRIMARY REALITY IS DEPICTED


IN MUTED, EARTHY TONES, WHILE ANOTHER REALITY
SHE VISITS IS AWASH IN BRIGHT PINKS AND BLUES.
THE USE OF COLOR NOT ONLY HELPS TO DISTINGUISH
BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT REALITIES BUT ALSO
CREATES AN EMOTIONAL RESPONSE IN THE VIEWER.

3. FILM'S PRODUCTION DESIGN

THE USE OF PHYSICAL SETS AND PRACTICAL EFFECTS


HELPS TO GROUND THE FILM IN REALITY, DESPITE ITS
FANTASTICAL SUBJECT MATTER. THE SETS AND PROPS
ARE DESIGNED WITH GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL,
GIVING THE FILM A TACTILE QUALITY THAT MAKES THE
WORLD FEEL MORE REAL.

4. THEME OF THE FILM


ABOUT EXPLORING THE DIFFERENT PATHS OUR LIVES
COULD TAKE AND HOW EACH DECISION WE MAKE
LEADS TO A DIFFERENT REALITY. THE USE OF
PARALLEL UNIVERSES IS A PERFECT METAPHOR FOR
THIS THEME. THE FILM'S VISUAL LANGUAGE AND
PRODUCTION DESIGN HELP TO BRING THIS THEME TO
LIFE, CREATING A WORLD THAT FEELS BOTH
FANTASTICAL AND FAMILIAR.
CONCLUSION

IN CONCLUSION, "EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT


ONCE" IS A VISUALLY STUNNING FILM THAT USES A MIX
OF STYLES, COLORS, AND PRODUCTION DESIGN TO
BRING ITS THEME TO LIFE. THE FILM'S USE OF VISUAL
LANGUAGE IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF ITS SUCCESS,
CREATING A WORLD THAT FEELS BOTH FANTASTICAL
AND GROUNDED IN REALITY. THE RESULT IS A UNIQUE
AND ENGAGING FILM THAT OFFERS A FRESH TAKE ON
THE IDEA OF PARALLEL UNIVERSES.
