How can it be so long?

Magnolia

Magnolia

This film once won the Berlin Golden Bear Award, and it is also relatively fierce. The entire film is 160 minutes long, which is a torture for viewers who are not used to such films. A dozen figures are like messy threads, woven into a pie-like picture within 24 hours. The film attempts to unfold a long volume of family relations, but it is too long, the technique is extremely eye-catching, but the connotation seems to be insufficient. The connection and echo of different segments are very particular, and the use of song counterpoints is also quite distinctive, especially Tom Cruise's excellent performance, which can be regarded as the most difficult role he has ever played.
Therefore, there are indeed many bright spots in this film, and it is not difficult to see the director's intentions, but its shortcomings are just as obvious, just like when you pack a luxurious golf course and only use it to play a game of ping pong In ball games, the form is greater than the content, and many directors are fatally injured...

    The destiny, the silver sex, the murdered green toe, and this magnolia flower that I have watched these days are a waste of time.

    Why is it so long and boring, the score is so high. . . . I deliberately turned a few pages of film reviews, and none of them were lower than 4 points. The opening was full of all kinds of moving and classics. . . . . . . . Don't you think the people inside are all like snake spirits? Can the soy nurse and the male police stop being so hypocritical? The overreaction of the characters in it makes me play well.

Magnolia quotes

  • [singing along to Aimee Mann's "Wise Up"]

    Claudia Wilson Gator: It's not / What you thought / When you first began it / You got / What you want / Now you can hardly stand it though / By now you know / It's not going to stop

    Jim Kurring: It's not going to stop / It's not going to stop / 'Til you wise up

    Jimmy Gator: You're sure / There's a cure / And you have finally found it

    Quiz Kid Donnie Smith: You think / One drink / Will shrink you 'til you're underground / And living down / But it's not going to stop

    Phil Parma: It's not going to stop

    Earl Partridge: It's not going to stop / 'Til you wise up

    Linda Partridge: Prepare a list for what you need / Before you sign away the deed / 'Cause it's not going to stop

    Frank T.J. Mackey: It's not going to stop / It's not going to stop / 'Til you wise up / No, it's not going to stop / 'Til you wise up / No, it's not going to stop

    Stanley Spector: So just... give up

  • Narrator: And there is the account of the hanging of three men, and a scuba diver, and a suicide. There are stories of coincidence and chance, of intersections and strange things told, and which is which and who only knows? And we generally say, "Well, if that was in a movie, I wouldn't believe it." Someone's so-and-so met someone else's so-and-so and so on. And it is in the humble opinion of this narrator that strange things happen all the time. And so it goes, and so it goes. And the book says, "We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us."
