![]() Everything Everywhere All At Once is a visual feast ripe with metaphors, and the bagel and the googly eyes are the most central and most important in explaining the theme of the movie, which is to choose kindness, especially when life is tough. Joy is really struggling, and she has difficulty seeing the googly eyes instead of the bagel, but when she and her mom finally find a way to talk to each other and work on extending each other kindness, both can see the googly-eyed version of the world. Googly eyes are a perfect item to carry this metaphor because they are so simple, and their singular purpose is to bring a little levity and joy to something. When Evelyn embraces this idea, she defeats Jobu Tupaki's army with acts of kindness. He says if nothing matters, then you might as well be kind. He also believes like Joy does that life is big, scary and often confusing, but instead of that filling him with dread, it empowers him to be kind. Everything, Everything is a coming-of-age story about a teenage girl suffering from a life-threatening immunodeficiency disorder, who, unable to leave her house, dreams of a life outside and of truly being alive. ![]() The googly eyes represent Waymond's perspective on life. ![]()
