In "Magnolia", PTA once again showed his mastery, playing with the narrative structure of multiple dense character clues. Each family and member seems to be independent and unrelated to each other but there is a certain mysterious connection. The arrangement of fate naturally produces a certain unspeakable intersection. Although it seems cumbersome and complicated, it does not consume too much brain cells and energy to sort out the relationship between the characters in the film. Just relax and follow the nutritious lens of PTA. , The plot will be clearly understood in my mind. In terms of mirroring and editing, PTA’s genius as always, is comprehensive in promoting development without any muddling. After "Boogie Nights", Aunt Moore and Fei Pang once again offered an excellent performance. His performances are free and appropriate, and Tom's ups and downs and wonderful exits are even more impressive. In the contest between appearance and acting skills that has entangled him for a lifetime, this role undoubtedly gives a lot of points to "acting skills".
This film is like a life symphony composed of love and hatred by PTA. Everyone's restraint, calmness, concealment, and tolerance from the beginning are accompanied by a soundtrack with a low-regulation sense of play that triggers emotional and dramatic transitions, which gradually induces strong emotions. The conflicts, contradictions and climaxes are like personally pushing away the magnolia flowers that are eroded by blood and tears and budding, each petal paves the way for the last stunned wonderful drama. The best-selling brainwashing writer Frank, who taught men how to hunt women quickly and effectively, deliberately concealed the sad past that could not bear to look back under his glamorous appearance. It was not until he met a sharp reporter who hit the nail on the head that he ignited a direct confrontation and explosion. Suo; I started to be with the old man for money, and when the old man was dying, he really fell in love with him, and the current wife Linda, who regretted his mistakes and mistakes before, happened to be the source of his pain as the father of Ferrick. Under the kindness of the caregiver, the father and son ushered in the opportunity to meet.
On the other side, the well-known host No. 2 who died soon in the world will have a sluggish daughter who relies on drugs all day long to relieve boredom and has a hard time (the old man No. 2 who died on his head finally tells the shameless experience of molesting her daughter). Until they met the unwilling good-hearted policeman, the two collided with the spark of love; the gifted children who read poetry and books woke up due to the wet crotch during the competition, and got rid of the infinite and high hopes given by the father. The doll role has recovered himself, and the gifted child Downey, who once became famous because of this game, has now become the poor "Luther" who no one knows was defeated, has no job, no love, no money, and almost went astray. They are deeply trapped. The whirlpool of pain and the helpless quagmire can’t get rid of it desperately, just like a powerful magical force drags them into the dark abyss of life. As the saying goes, things must be reversed, and emotions and situations are mostly the same. When "grief" reaches an unbearable culmination There is bound to be a positive buffer, and the divisions and intervals among them are the "frog rain" pouring down.
The opening episodes are unsuccessful and unsuccessful, with some black humorous episodes that are very topical. The world is unpredictable and unpredictable. Maybe the next second doom will come to the door mercilessly, the next second will have to be inexplicably killed, and the next second will be fucked. There is nothing in his life, and in the next second, a surreal and bizarre scene will suddenly appear in front of him. What seems even more ridiculous but extremely reasonable is that there are still intricate causal connections in it, and this is generally called fate. Such things are difficult to be scientifically and rationally defined and explained. The later plot to PTA is just a deep expansion of the philosophical thinking about life and destiny triggered by the opening episode, just like the film said, Compared with the seemingly omnipotent film dreams, the absurd nature of the fusion of reality and fire is often superior, making people helpless and not resisting, being played in the palm of one's hands, tasted bitter and sorrow, too many obstacles to overcome. , Tortured by emotional fetters, tortured by life, unable to get the mercy of God, unable to escape the palm of death, but after the pessimism, the stingy fucking life will still give a glimmer of optimistic hope.
Desire to forgive → forgiveness → liberation → detachment, hoping to obtain sincere and pure love without a trace of betrayal, hatred, and lies. This is the greatest commonality of this group of people in the film. The sadness and despair that are implanted in the bones of the group are hateful and shrouded in sadness and despair. The poor people successively chose to use a foolish and cowardly way to exchange for "the way of redemption" from the hands of the god of death. In the end, they had different endings. Fortunately, they were given a timely gift from the sky. Simple and rude rain of frogs fell from the sky, using their lives and blood. Awakened and saved these miserable guys. In this difficult and sad life, they still cannot do without the warmth and comfort, resolution and consciousness of the vulgar word love. Its miraculous positive power still cannot be underestimated. In the end, the heart-warming words of the nagging policeman were very touching, and the charming smile after the sluggish girl found true love and cheered up was even more gratifying.
"Magnolia" is the second important work of PTA. It is a blockbuster with extraordinary shots. I was less than 30 years old when I filmed this film. My vision, strength, thought and understanding are far beyond the reasonable scope of this age group. Such a masterpiece that is full of information and can be carefully deployed to perfectly control the overall situation. Its ability and genius are really amazing. Those of us who are ordinary people are only left to worship. It is no exaggeration to say that "Magnolia" is definitely a movie. At all stages of life, it’s worth taking out and reminiscing, and always looking at the new classics. It is a true portrayal of important parts of life, even if this fucking life is more sad and ridiculous than the movie, even if it’s small, we can’t change our destiny. Don’t miss the chance to seize hope and happiness. Sometimes it may seem out of reach, but it will actually come as scheduled, ushering in a life-changing turning point. ".
