Abstract

This research aims to delve into the typical Chinese family structure and parenting approaches by analyzing the behavior of main character Evelyn and the dialogue between characters in the film Everything Everywhere All at Once. Evelyn is a Chinese woman who immigrated into American with her husband and operating a laundromat for living. The iceberg theory of Virginia Satir is used to decode the deeper meaning of dialogues and scenes in the whole movie and help to analyze the characteristic of Evelyn and how her personality is influenced. This research can help to enhance the knowledge of the comprehensibility to the film, the main character Evelyn, and the related psychological theories. Furthermore, it has certain implications in figuring the problem of Chinese style parenting approaches and the strategy to improve it.
