@byronsmith2000 This is a solid point, in my own perspective I believe everyone should be able to express their opinions to a certain extent without the fear of being rejected by societies expectations.

@ethanbeard91 We live in a world where everyone is a content creator, however idk if this has helped allow or prevent free speech as we do suffer from cancel culture and fear of displeasing the masses #bcm325

This is evident in Hartley’s work, where the linear understanding of sender -> message -> receiver has shifted to a more decentralised, one-to-one multimedia environment. #bcm325

#bcm325 the verse hopping technology demonstrates McLuhan’s concept of the extension of man. The verse hopping technology is less a tool for becoming something new and more an expression of discovering new parts of ourselves

Kwan and Scheinert confirmed the films plot was derived from their growing concern about the oversaturation of one’s space with information from multiple media channels, creating another sense of reality altogether or - an alternate universe if you will. #bcm325

@AllchinTrent Nah just google searched concept art !

@ethanbeard91 Wow! What a cool image! Did you use mid-journey to create it?

This film embodies Marshall's idea of intercommunication as an elaborate layering of alternating forms of communication. Throughout the movie, various modes of communication are utilised; verbal dialogue, visual storytelling, symbolic imagery, and cultural references. #bcm325

@DennisGabbi I think it is also necessary to the overall theme this moving is trying to portray, always choose kindness even when life gets hard.

@ethanbeard91 I love this interpretation! The plastic eye in the film is a powerful symbol that represents Evelyn's journey towards enlightenment of her husband's outlook on life. It's a visual reminder that sometimes we need to see things through a different lens to gain a new perspective.

The plastic eye we see Evelyn has stuck between her forehead, seems to serve as a metaphorical tool. It symbolises the acceptance of her husband, Waymond's, outlook on life, pulling her out of the black hole of despair to enlightenment. #bcm325

'Every tiny decision creates another branch in the universe' his influence is like the representational paradigm (sender-message-reciever) #bcm325

A further article explaining the significance of the visual imposing of the bagel and googly eye, seemingly resembling the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang. #bcm325 screenrant.com/everything-eve…

@CL_Moore True, there was meant to be a second part to this tweet - but word count didn’t allow :(

@ethanbeard91 Intercommunication is about the movement of those expressions across mediums and platforms. A tweet becomes a news story. A podcast becomes a Facebook post. etc. How movie images become memes.

Furthermore, we see this idea of challenging norms through cultural hybridity. By blending Chinese mythology and Hollywood action, it celebrates diversity and questions monolithic representations. #bcm325

Everything Everywhere All at Once defies representational norms, weaving a nonlinear narrative that transcends boundaries. A cinematic revolution that challenges our understanding of storytelling. #bcm325 #ChatGPT

Key themes displayed in Everything, Everywhere All At Once: - Multiculturalism and Identity - Family and Legacy - Feminism and Empowerment - Spiritual Enlightenment and Existentialism - Fantasy and Surrealism #bcm325 #ChatGPT

Everything, Everywhere All At Once (2022) 🔮 "Much like a hallucinogen might cause you to cycle through every human emotion and see your life laid out end to end, theoretically, this film has a dazzle built into every kinetic, madcap frame." #bcm325 rottentomatoes.com/m/everything_e…

"Cyberspace is created by transforming a data matrix into a landscape in which narratives can happen." - Katherine Hayles We see this run true in the film as one of the key plot points involves the characters searching for three keys that will unlock a hidden Easter egg. #bcm325

The commercialisation of virtual worlds in cyberspace is portrayed vastly in this film. IOI's ruthless pursuit of control over the OASIS exposes the darker side of the simulated realm and highlights the looming threat of corporate domination in the digital age. #bcm325

Furthermore, the film also examines the complex interplay between human identity and technology. It highlights the potential for cyberspace to transform identity, blurring the lines between physical and virtual selves. #bcm325

The use of "avatars" in the film exemplify the concept of the hyper-texted body, offering users the ability to construct idealized selves in cyberspace. This explores the potential for virtual world activism and resistance, highlighting the power of the concept as a tool. #bcm325
