Reflecting on the philosophy of ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’

Marcelle Couto | Thursday, February 16, 2023

In light of the spectacular reception of “Everything Everywhere All at Once” at the box office, I thought it fitting to unpack the implicit philosophical message of the film. I recall emerging from the movie theater bewildered by the pathos and cinematic quality of “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” But, I was also remarkably conflicted

Liked, shared, delivered: Do you get your news from social media?

Renee Yaseen | Monday, April 26, 2021

When I log onto social media, my typical feed consists of an ample mix of my friends’ pictures, memes and political content. Now more than ever, we use social media to get, spread and react to news. This can be a good thing: social media allows ordinary people to share their viewpoints and perspectives. We

Certainty is overrated… I think?

BridgeND | Tuesday, October 31, 2017

Recently, I was having a conversation with a friend of mine about politics. “You know,” he said, “I’ve never really been able to pin you down. Where do you stand on the political spectrum?” I laughed to myself and kind of shrugged. “I’m not sure,” I finally responded. Now, I’d like to think this isn’t

Spring Movies – Hollywood’s Unfortunate Off-Season

Every year without fail, the Golden Globes are doled out in early January, the Screen Actors Guild Awards are issued in late January, the British Academy of Film and Television Awards (BAFTAs) are distributed in mid February and the Oscars are allotted in late February. Arguably the four most popularized film award shows all take

Our unraveling discourse

Letter to the Editor | Friday, September 2, 2016

Jefferson’s flowery prose has wilted, King’s inspirational cadence has faded and Scott Key’s emotional lyrics have drifted past. The voices of our greatest achievements have largely been drowned out by a coarse cacophony of fragmented concerns. One of the areas through which progress can be evaluated is through the lens of how we perceive each

Double or nothing

Katherine Smart | Monday, January 25, 2016

Everyone can agree that no two individuals have identical personalities or life experiences. Just think of all the unique people you have met at this one University. There are bizarre combinations of academics, athletes, musicians, artist, activists and entrepreneurs. Even the “Katies from a suburb of Chicago” can have completely different interests or ideologies. With

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
