The film basically talks about two generations, three fathers, three wives (one died prematurely), three children, plus a frustrated "Hurt Zhongyong", a simple and honest policeman, and a caring male nurse. The stories are interspersed, using dialogue, music, and natural events to form a seamless story. It can be said that the role of the father is a bastard, but the words are good (not including the supernatural father); the wives are either tortured or abandoned by the husband or condemned by the conscience; the children are all victims, and the daughters are completely nervous , The son pretended to be serious and false Taoism, and the child prodigy was forced to quit. This is a picture of the sentient beings of a miserable American family, no matter how glamorous the appearance, it is all loser. "Heart Collar Corner" is the best translated title of the film.
"Magnolia" I also classify him as a narrative structured movie. There are many classics of this kind of narrative in film history. Let me summarize it briefly.
Multi-angle narrative type: "Magnolia", "21 Grams", "Babel", "Silver Men and Women"
circular narrative: "Heavy Rain is Coming", "Pulp Fiction", "The Sun Also Rises
" "Citizen Kane", "Rashomon"
pure flashback type: "Irrevocable"
two-way clamping type: "Memory Fragment"
I also look forward to another crazy narrative style, the idea is as follows:
multi-angle interstitial + two-way clamping type : Take "Magnolia" as an example, tell the story of Tom Cruise's family along the way, and tell the story of Julianne Moore's family backwards, and finally end in key events, such as Cruise's father abandoning his wife, Merola Waters It’s not bad to run out of the house by his father, etc., and use frog rain.
