and Words
Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don’t you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you’d never been
But all the things that you’ve seen
Will slowly fade away
Lyric excerpts from Musixmatch.
As I watched the Academy Awards a few weeks ago, the movie “Everything Everywhere All at Once” won most of the awards for which it was nominated. I celebrated in stoic Asian pride as I watched people who looked like me shuffle onto the stage. I watched the film only a few days preceding the Academy Awards, and to be perfectly honest it took more brain power for my state of inebriation at that moment.
Naturally, many of the faces on the stage were familiar. However, there was one face, both on the stage and in the film that I was familiar, but I couldn’t quite place. I scrolled through the cast listed in IMDB. It was there that I got my answer, the actor was Harry Shum Jr. Though now that I have a name to go with the face, the question was… “Where have I seen him before?”
