Which is not to say the action wasn\u2019t a sizable challenge in cutting Daniels\u2019 movie, which was released by A24 and is now nominated for 11 Oscars, including best picture, direction, screenplay and editing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Rogers also had to be sure that the jumps between universes didn\u2019t disorient the viewers; to do that, the filmmakers leaned in to the tropes of different film genres, including use of music, aspect ratios, color correction and the editing style. \u201cYou could have the Lifetime movie genre of a marriage in trouble in one universe,\u201d he notes, \u201cand then you could have the<em> Matrix<\/em> treatment in the other universe. Those kind of storytelling tropes were really helpful in terms of anchoring us into these different universes.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   size-large alignnone lrv-u-max-width-100p\" style=\"width:100%; max-width:1000px;\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\" style=\"padding-bottom:calc((550\/1000)*100%);\">\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/EEAAO_09765_RC-EMBED-2023.jpg?w=1000\" alt=\"Waymond (Ke Huy Quan) in a Matrix-style scene\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/EEAAO_09765_RC-EMBED-2023.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/EEAAO_09765_RC-EMBED-2023.jpg?resize=125,70 125w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"\" height=\"550\" width=\"1000\" decoding=\"\"\/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-padding-tb-025\"><span class=\"a-font-secondary-s lrv-u-margin-r-025\">Waymond (Ke Huy Quan) in a Matrix-style scene<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                    <cite class=\"a-font-accent-uppercase-xs lrv-u-color-grey-dark\">Courtesy of Allyson Riggs\/A24<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    In cutting the early part of the movie, he also had to set up the rules of the multiverse for the viewer to understand so that he could be increasingly bold in his editing choices, jumping to new universes sometimes for mere seconds. \u201cThere was a lot of groundwork that had to be laid,\u201d says Rogers. \u201cA lot of that groundwork was laid in the script, but we definitely spent a lot of time in the edit.\u201d As the story is told through the eyes of Evelyn, he emphasizes that staying with Yeoh\u2019s performance was also a great strength. \u201cShe was so tuned in to where she was at any given moment that if you just follow Evelyn and her eyes, you know what\u2019s happening and you know where she is emotionally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The movie comes to a conclusion when Evelyn and her daughter, Joy (Oscar nominee Stephanie Hsu), finally have a confrontation and make peace in the laundromat parking lot. Says Rogers, \u201cI know from watching the footage, that was emotionally a really tough scene for Stephanie and Michelle to shoot. They just let it all out, and it was incredibly emotional to watch the footage. I felt a huge amount of pressure to do right by what they had given us.\u201d Sometimes in filmmaking, he finds, one can watch powerful dailies, but then \u201cit loses something [in the final film]. And I was terrified of that happening with this scene.\u201d So he spent a lot of time not just cutting but then tweaking and reexamining all the takes \u2014 \u201cjust making sure that I had done right by that scene.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   size-large alignnone lrv-u-max-width-100p\" style=\"width:100%; max-width:1000px;\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\" style=\"padding-bottom:calc((650\/1000)*100%);\">\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/EEAAO_04975_R-EMBED-2023.jpg?w=1000\" alt=\"Michelle Yeoh\u2019s performance grounded a world where fingers are made of hot dogs.\" srcset=\"\" data-lazy-sizes=\"\" height=\"650\" width=\"1000\" decoding=\"\"\/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-padding-tb-025\"><span class=\"a-font-secondary-s lrv-u-margin-r-025\">Michelle Yeoh\u2019s performance grounded a world where fingers are made of hot dogs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                    <cite class=\"a-font-accent-uppercase-xs lrv-u-color-grey-dark\">Courtesy of A24<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    That included letting the audience see the mother and daughter finally listening to each other through Yeoh\u2019s and Hsu\u2019s standout performances. \u201cIt felt like a really powerful thing to watch them actually take in what the other person was feeling and what the other person was saying,\u201d Rogers says. \u201cYou can see Evelyn finally seeing her daughter, and you can see Joy finally seeing her mother.
