Vinayaka Agreed!

Love it.

Thanks Indy Mogul! Your channel rocks.

Totally agree!

You’ve seen Boogie Nights, right?

Thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Go watch some PTA!

Thanks for your kind comment! I love the weird energy of PDL and how PTA was able to tell a tight story compared to his other works which always seem to be 2.5 hours long. I think it's his most unique film from the rest.

Hey, are either of you guys on letterboxd? I like both your videos and I'd love to see shorter write ups and opinions from you, or even just see what you're watching.

He's a good actor when he gives a damn. :)

Him and Noah Hawley, creator of Fargo and Legion tv series'. If you have not seen the first season of Legion or the second season of Fargo, WATCH THEM! Both are television masterpieces.

@@evanpeltier Are you disregarding Martin Scorsese or referring to modern directors only?

@@Th0tSlAyErIII I have seen alot of great movies. I love Scorsese, I love David Lynch, David Lean, The Coen Brothers, Andrei Tarkovsky, Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, and all the other greats. I wasn't disregarding anyone. I was just saying that I like Noah Hawley's work.

I think a better comparison is Scorsese.

Scorsese and PTA

I like that! Thanks, Jared.

Film Radar Thanks buddy. KZfaq is weird. It’s a shame when you’re really proud of a video and no one watches it. :/ Hopefully it’ll have legs and views will come later.

Awesome! Thanks, Dana. :)

Thank you so much for the kind comment! :)

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. :)

Exactly right!

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it.

My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed the video. :)

Wow, that's awesome! So glad you're enjoying the channel. Thanks for subscribing and coming on board. :)

Glad you liked it!

This was my least favorite of PTA films. . Love Inherent vice (tales several viewings and insights to appreciate the subtle layers, which most people would never pick up on) and There will be blood, The Master then Magnolia.

Interesting, I actually liked Punch Drunk Love. So if it is the worst to you, the other have potential.

I liked it, just didn't love it as much as his others. I think my expectations were high based on what some people said (but then I read the Superman theory and while it fits, it's really corny if that is the premise or subplot). TWBB is a masterpiece for most audiences. The others are too for select audiences. I've watched Inherent Vice at least 6 times, because there's always something else to be picked up on. Literally ever word has meaning , like a Kubrick film. No noise/wasted dialogue...but it's a sleeper the first viewing....but it kinda started to come together for me at the end and I immediately started over at the beginning. Now I also see the really funny humor, but it's not LOL humor. You need a little background on the CIA, Mormons, MKUltra, cults, 70s pysops, Noir, drug running conspiracy to really sink your teeth into it. I need to read the book too, but apparently it's pretty faithful. It's a hippy/stoner noir (aka Chinatown, The Big Sleep, the long goodbye)...thinks unfold very slow and your watching it in a haze of weed and drugs and it makes no sense til later on (first viewing). A lot of people hated it. My GF quit after 20 min. I didn't blame her, but in hindsight I'm so happy I persevered.

There Will Be Blood, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love, Inherent Vice, haven’t seen Hard Eight, need to rewatch The Master.

+Steve F.- If you’re so good at paying attention to detail, try some David Lynch films (if you already haven’t. A true master of his craft.

So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching/commenting. :)

Thanks so much! :)

Thank you!

Wow, thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed it. :)

Great timing! :)

Awesome! Thanks so much for the kind comment.

Sanjuro313 You’re welcome! :)

Thank you so much for the kind comment! I'm glad you liked the video. :)

Awesome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you! So glad that you enjoyed it.

I’d love that too!

Thanks so much! I definitely have high hopes for Phantom Thread. Would be truly sad if DDL retired, but I feel like he retires after every movie, and then something sparks his interest and brings him back out again.

Thank you!

Marisabel Suárez Awesome!

I series could be cool! I think characters call it a piano and he corrects them and tells them it's a harmonium.

Entertain The Elk oh shoot you're right. Well this obviously means I need watch this amazing film again

Thank you!!

Magnolia had a crazy ending, but it was pretty standard before that. Lots of eccentric characters but a pretty straight story of interwoven lives.

There will be blood has oil look like chocolate milkshakes😋

Thanks so much!

Thank you! PTA is indeed a modern day true auteur. Not many directors like him.

Thanks! Yeah, I have high hopes for Phantom Thread. Is there anyway it can be as good as the last collaboration between PTA and DDL though?

Entertain The Elk At the least it’ll probably be an interesting character study, at this point I expect that from PTA

Totally. Boogie Nights too. Thanks!

Yes! Glad to have you on board. :)

Wow thank you so much!

smithen85 Thank you!

Thank you so much!

That's an awesome idea!

You're welcome. :)

Thanks so much!

Nkanyiso Innocent Khwane Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks so much! Diving into Inherent Vice would be interesting because I didn't like it either. Would like to know where it went wrong or maybe why I didn't fully understand it.

Thanks so much!

TheDavan619 Thanks!

Thank you! I'll try and make the 5th but don't hold me to it! :) Definitely trying to stick to a Tuesday schedule though.

Thanks so much! :)

Awesome!!! :)

The Chef Thanks so much!!

Mr. Way Mine are Boogie Nights and TWBB. Speaks to how great a filmmaker he is that many people have differing favs.

And Magnolia is mine haha

Entertain The Elk right! says a lot about the person too, which film is their favorite. same goes for Kubrick. I just feel like The Master is so misunderstood and underappreciated, such a beautiful and layered experience.

Entertain The Elk watch it on Entheogens and it will make you cry, its such a trancelike, strange experience. Very transcendent. Makes sense he made Junun and Inherent Vice, weird culty spooky shit. The Charles Fort and Freemason references in Magnolia... Theres a whole unseen world of depth and intelligence to his films :)

Thanks so much! Glad to have you on board.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Good list. Though I'd personally drop Inherent Vice way down and bring Boogie Nights way up. :)

you're mean on the rankings aha, I'd give most of them a 10

Thanks! If you want more Visual Literacy videos, check out my latest video on Boogie Nights and Goodfellas. I go in to it a little more. And yeah, Scorsese and Kubrick are huge influences.

Entertain The Elk I did seen you boogie nights and goodfellas video And yeah they both my influences I think that a lot of new directors need to learn visual literacy and study more of the classics like the shining 2001 goodfellas and this movie which is a influence to me

Thank you for the kind comment! Boogie Nights is a personal favorite of mine. Probably Top 3 fav film of all time. There Will Be Blood is a close 2nd. And then Magnolia, and PDL. I haven't loved his last two films. They're well made, but not especially rewatchable. I'm hoping Phantom Thread is great.

Entertain The Elk not true! they’re like kubrick movies, they get better each time. I adore the master and inherent vice sooo much.

Thanks Benjamin!

Thanks! I'm a big fan so there will definitely be more in the future.

:)

Good call. I did one on Edgar Wright's other films if you haven't already seen it. :)

Yeah i saw it, thanks for replying.

Thank you for such a kind comment!

No. Does that mean you hate my stuff now?
