Every (?) Easter egg and subplot explained... [No spoilers in this post]


Hallo!

You may know me as the bloke who wrote that Hereditary synopsis (https://123wtf.me/2018/10/18/wtf-hereditary-2018/) which explained every scene and received a million (4) nice comments on Moviechat!

Well, I've published a similar post (complete with the questionable jokes) about Searching https://123wtf.me/2018/12/28/wtf-searching-2018/ and explained probably every Easter egg and subplot (the alien invasion, Hannah Couch, David Kim's psychological problems) there is to explain.

Searching writer / producer Sev Ohanian himself liked it so much he said
on Reddit:
"Holy crap you are amazing. You found things that no one else has ever found (like for instance that we put our agents in there.) Your jokes and puns are insanely funny btw ahahaha. And I never knew that "scheve" one. Gotta talk to our editors about that lol."

on Twitter:
"Wow someone spent an insanely long time composing this blogpost of every notable reference, clue, easter egg they could find of #searchingmovie. Tons of stuff in here I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else. Props to them!"

on my post:
"Wow. Immediately went to the top of my list of things ever written about our film. THANK YOU!"

and editor / DP Will Merrick said on Instagram:
"Incredible breakdown...I’m honestly shocked at how much you caught. Reading this was one of the most mind blowing things"

Loved this line: In fiction, this is known as “foreshadowing”. In life it’s known as “I told you so.”
