I love another work by director Paul Thomas Anderson, "There will be blood" ("There will be blood"), but don't like this one very much, even though it won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival.

This story is a mystery, the whole is a chaos, and it is a chaos deliberately created by the screenwriter (and the director). It is magical that it progresses through a super slow plot (the blood-vomiting lengthy), quietly involving the audience in this magnolia-like net (chaos), so that the audience will be deceived after watching it. Feeling fooled.

The theme that I want to express or the deep meaning that it contains also makes people feel painless and repeat the old tune.

The fancy structure of the film earned the screenwriter and director Paul Thomas Anderson an Oscar nomination for best original screenplay.

Even the provocative speech performance that Tomboy was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor and was talked about by many people did not impress me too much because of the thinness of the character.

Rating: 7 out of 10

    The film that you can't understand but can't stop watching it over and over again. In life, there are not only coincidences. The director, screenwriter, performance and music are exceptionally good, and the film is ruthlessly ignored.

    The Berlin Golden Bear Award is a model of multi-threaded cross-narrative. There are many characters but no sense of messiness. It revolves around coincidence, betrayal, forgiveness and redemption, with a slow pace but sufficient tension. PTA perfectly blends the long shots of its expertise with the dazzling cross-editing, and the 46-minute long studio corridor shots have reached the pinnacle of dazzling skills. The complex soundtrack is almost throughout, and the sound editing is excellent. Brother Tom contributed the best performance of his career~ (8.8/10)

Magnolia quotes

  • Jim Kurring: Now calm yourself down.

    Marcie: [shouts] I am calm!

    Jim Kurring: No you are not calm. You're screaming at me. Do you understand? I got a call for disturbance, and I'm going to checking it out. That is what I'm going to do. Are you alone in here?

    Marcie: I ain't got to answer none of your questions.

    Jim Kurring: No, you don't, but I'm going to ask you one more time. Are you alone in here?

    Marcie: What does it look like?

    Jim Kurring: There's no one else in here?

    Marcie: You in here.

    Jim Kurring: That's true, but is there anyone else besides me and you in this house?

    Marcie: No, I said that already.

    Jim Kurring: Are you lying to me?

    Marcie: I live by myself.

    Jim Kurring: That might be true, but the question I'm asking you, ma'am: is there anyone else in this house right now?

    Marcie: No.

  • Burt Ramsey: You smell like trouble.

    Jimmy Gator: I'm fucking hammered, Burt.
