It's less of an early PTA than a tribute to Robert Altman, like Raymond Chandler. In terms of atmosphere creation, it is indeed a "Boogie Nights"-style psychedelic. The smell of marijuana comes from the behavior of the characters rather than the cheap mirror words, which hides the emotions looming. The intricate story is no longer important, and the strong aftertaste is inevitable. It is definitely the most personal film of the...

The style is similar to Cohen's "Murder of the Green Toe", a story of ecstasy and justice under absurd acts. It seems to be carefree, but it is actually delicate and needs to be read slowly. The sense of age and literature is strong, and the intricate relationship between characters still needs to be understood by reading the original...

4.5. The background of the 70s hippie movie contains the tone of 40-50s noir and detective movies, and the viewing process is probably like inhaling too much nicotine and drinking too much alcohol. Although the pace of the film is slow, it exudes an unfinished atmosphere. The simple story conveys too much information, which is puzzling. At the same time, it is also poked by several dark humorous bridges. Thinking about it, the focus is no longer on the matter of handling the case, but on the...

Like [Night Night Dreams and Duo], it is a movie with too much information entropy - too much redundancy. The latter has too many lines, deliberately blurring the story, making people dizzy; the inherent evil is that it pays too much attention to audio-visual, and there are many characters, the story lines are intertwined, the soundtrack is always inseparable, and there are all kinds of jokes, relying too much on the lines to turn around, Metaphors are rich. Therefore, in the process of...

Paul Thomas's relatively bad small-scale complex characters are far less attractive than the family events in the torrent of the previous era Although the poetic and obscure religious emotions are still attractive, the story is difficult to get me into the...

If there is still some hope of redemption in American movies today, it can only rely on PTA. He once again showed the Altman-style comic ukiyo-e style, with many characters appearing and hiding, looking back at the confusion and chaos of Los Angeles in the 1970s. Pure love, wandering in the chaotic and dazzling California sunshine, the detective image full of boredom and powerlessness is like a tribute to Chandler, the visualization of Pynchon's work itself is a bold...

As soon as the movie opened, I fell asleep, and the absurdity of scene after scene made me feel in the mist. I probably understood the outline, but it tasted like wax, and finally I could only sigh again that PTA was not to my...

After reading it for four hours, it feels like drinking a strong drink. PTA's fascination with Southern California in the 1970s is melted into a Chandler-like novel. The audience follows the hippie detectives and meets various people. The clues are intricate and complicated, and some can only be uttered by lines. But it’s not important to keep up with this. The whole film is shrouded in the smell of cannabis mixed with tobacco. Some characters and plots are completely hallucinogenic products....
