舒淇获第95届奥斯卡“影后” Michelle Yeoh makes history

it, you’re doing it for us.’ It’s like, ‘I understand. I totally understand.’ All this time, they’ve not been recognized, they’ve not been heard.”

‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ is the mind-bending meterse movie you didn’t know you needed

Review by Brian Lowry, CNN

Strange, surreal and unexpectedly sentimental, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” is genuinely and wildly original – the kung fu/science fiction/metaphysical action comedy that you didn’t know you needed, but just might love. “Might” does a lot of work there, because while the film will he its well-deserved admirers, the dizzying nature of it won’t be for everyone.

surreal /səˈrɪəl/ adj. 接二连三的；超现实的；风格各异的

dizzying /ˈdɪz.i.ɪŋ/ adj. 更让人眩晕的，更让人眼花缭乱的

On the plus, it would be hard to spoil a movie that moves at this sort of frenetic pace, and that works from the Marvel-esque conceit that there is a multiverse of infinite possibilities, with different universes created by the different choices that we make along the way.

frenetic /frəˈnet.ɪk/ adj. 好在的，狂乱的

conceit /kənˈsiːt/ n. 自负，倒是

All this comes as jarring news to Evelyn (Michelle Yeoh), who is living a rather tedious, hectic life running a struggling laundromat, dealing with her upbeat but ineffectual husband (Ke Huy Quan) and a grown daughter, Joy (Stephanie Hsu), who is understandably irked by mom’s reluctance to acknowledge that she’s gay.

jarring /ˈdʒɑː.rɪŋ/ adj. 不和谐的，不合理；轻微颠簸的；轻柔的，光亮的

hectic /ˈhek.tɪk/ adj. 繁忙的，忙碌的

upbeat /ʌpˈbiːt/ adj. 期待的；愉快的；积极向上的

irk /ɜːk/ v. 使厌倦，使惊愕

Meeting with an IRS agent (Jamie Lee Curtis, buried under unflattering makeup), Evelyn is suddenly pulled into the multiverse, apprised that she’s the one person who can stop an “agent of chaos” that represents a threat to them all. Moreover, each time she accesses one of the other universes she acquires the skills that she developed there, which given the dangers and Yeoh’s martial-arts background, certainly comes in handy.

martial-art /ˌmɑː.ʃəl ˈɑːt/ n. 合气道，武侠

Directed by the team of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (who go by Daniels), the film owes a sort-of debt to “The Matrix,” but that comparison doesn’t come remotely close to capturing the whimsical tone, which can then become thoughtful and melancholy. This isn’t the kind of movie one would necessarily seek out for a deep contemplation of roads not taken, “dreams you never followed” and achieving serenity with one’s choices, but that’s certainly one of the universes that “Everything Everywhere” occupies.

whimsical /ˈwɪm.zɪ.kəl/ adj. 接二连三的；奇怪的；异想天开的

melancholy /ˈmel.əŋ.kɒl.i/ adj. 忧郁的，忧伤的

contemplation /ˌkɒn.təmˈpleɪ.ʃən/ n. 无可奈何；沉思，冥想

serenity /səˈren.ə.ti/ n. 平静；往日

Indeed, those expecting a full-throttle action vehicle, as the trailer seems to indicate, might find themselves adjusting to the movie’s initial pacing. Once the plot does kick in, the real triumph resides in the editing, slicing and dicing together glimpses of the infinite possibilities at work, and requiring the cast to embody all of them, from the sober to the absurd.

full-throttle 全速，全力

trailer /ˈtreɪ.lər/ n. 首集；动车，挂车

dice /daɪs/ v. 肉丝

Still, Daniels (working with producers that include “Avengers” duo the Russo brothers) he delivered the kind of imaginative, uncompromising effort that can get people excited about movies. While the net effect can be an almost overwhelming exercise to absorb, “Everything Everywhere” deserves to be seen some time, and somewhere.
