    Paul Thomas Anderson has never been a director who is only willing to tell stories. If there is a story, it is just a shell, and it is full of private goods: a specific era, a unique atmosphere, a floating style, mysterious events, funny characters . I haven't seen Thomas Pynchon's original work, but judging from the drug addiction, conspiracy, injury, and wandering of the hippie era, this film should belong to two Thomas, but the light, shadow and sound are branded with...

    In fact, this film is consistent with the effect of "Marlowe wakes up and finds himself in the 1970s" emphasized by Altman in "The Long Goodbye", but Pynchon's text is completely detached from Chandler's In addition to the cold and hard detective story of the style, it contrasts with the intoxicating images of PTA in an indifferent and uncertain decadent manner, with blurred outlines, but with a strong spirit like...

    I haven't read any of Thomas Pynchon's novels, but I have read Harold Bloom's review of Pynchon, and Bloom's description of him as a truly great American writer, although Bloom also admits that Qin's book was very laborious, and he read it a few times before he got into it. To sum up this film, the outer shell is a detective story, the middle is the drama, absurdization, ridicule and metaphor of marginal society, and the core is the author's complex life...

    Robert Elswit's photography is very impressive, comparable to American Hustle's Linus Sandgren. The rest of the PTA is a bit awkward, not flying enough, and the rhythm is not very...

    PTA integrates the culmination, the age characteristics of H8 and Boogie Nights, the emotion of Magnolia, the romance that PDL can't hide, the blood is coming and the depth of the master. There are no superfluous skills and settings to overshadow the light of the novel itself, and the adaptation is also excellent here, perfectly presenting Pynchon's original story and emotional characteristics, and making people see PTA itself at all times. The Master and the Evil of Sex are really the two most...

    Presumably, Pynchon's novels are presented like this...

    No establishing shots, no action sequences, no closure, plenty of drugged haze, what-me-worry closeups, and one heartbreaking seduction scene. Hands down, the best film of the...

    One of the weirdest movies I've seen this year. Like "Golden Age", I want to quit halfway through. Possibly low self-awareness. No more...

    sweet psychedelic

    Without cheap surprises and deliberately emphasized suspense, PTA restores the Southern California style of the late 1960s with a casual rhythm.

    The result is that people who like this style continue to think about the picture of the film and think about the extension after watching the film.

    People...

    According to the novel, it's not bad

    The actor is a hippie in the late 1960s and early 1970s, smoking marijuana and working as a private detective. One day, my ex-girlfriend suddenly arrived and told him that the real estate tycoon she was next to might be deceived and asked him to help. So the actor went around to inquire,...

Inherent Vice quotes

  • Sortilège: [narrating] Well Mornin' Sam, like a bad luck planet in today's horoscope, here's the old hippie-hating mad dog himself in the flesh: Lieutenant Detective Christian F. "Bigfoot" Bjornsen. SAG member, John Wayne walk, flat top of Flintstone proportions and that evil, little shit-twinkle in his eye that says Civil Rights Violations.

  • Dr. Threeply: Any questions?

    Doc Sportello: [in regards to Puck Beaverton] Is that a swastika on that man's face?

    Dr. Threeply: No, it isn't. That's an ancient Hindu symbol meaning "all is well". It brings good fortune, luck and well-being.
