Before I saw Everything Everywhere All at Once all I knew was:

  1. It's about a Chinese-American family that runs a laundromat.
  2. It's the best movie ever.

Spoilers Ahead

Everything Everywhere All at Once is a silly movie.

What is silliness? Silliness is the opposite of seriousness. What is seriousness? Seriousness is the opposite of fun.

Does that mean silliness equals fun? Not quite. All silliness is fun but not all fun is silly. Silliness is a subset of play is a subset of fun.

I think silliness is a terminal value. Silliness is precious. Silliness must be protected.

Silliness is giving into harmless impulses. Silliness is non-consequentialist. Silliness doesn't have a point. Silliness is letting go of pretention and just having fun. Right. This. Instant.

(I don't think all silliness is fun. I have been hearing lame jokes of the same kind for months and they drive me up the wall.)
