    The director is quite thoughtful, but the performance of the actors is not very outstanding. Tom's performance is better than Julianne Moore, and Julianne's hysteria is too fake. Frog Rain is really a magical touch, which makes up for the shortcomings of the film being too long. Humans are cruel creatures, cold-blooded than any other animal, and are most willing to torture others and themselves. If there is any god, then it must be deliberately set in this way.

    I just want to know the origins of Magnolia, but who wants to read these personal lives inadvertently. And so many characters have to show the intersection of irrelevance. Connectivity is very important, but the film is not very clever on this point, which is a pity.

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.
