What Happened to Magnolia?

“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.’” Well, believe it, because all of what follows actually happened during the making of Paul Thomas Anderson’s 1999 film MAGNOLIA.
A film and production of gambles, absurdities, forgiveness, and reckonings, MAGNOLIA evolved from what would be the final shot of the film - a smile, a symbol of hope in a world of misery, lost drive and…frogs - into one of the most divisive, memorable and best films of the century.
So, let’s get our buzzers ready and wise up as we find out: What Happened to This Movie?!

In my opinion, Tom Cruise should have won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Michael Caine was decent, but Cruise's turn was much more memorable.

@grungehippy 5 күн бұрын

I agree. Although I love Caine and agree he deserved the Oscar on any other year, Tom was robbed. Say what you want about him but his breakdown at the end is still the finest acting I've seen.

An Oscar for playing himself? Easily pleased. What about accents and changing mannerisms? He's always watchable, like Tom Hanks, but they're not talented, like an Oldman or Day-Lewis. Cruise is only as good as his script.

I watched this for the first time a few weeks ago. I felt anxious almost the entire time. The way it just keeps switching to different protagonists without any scenes for the characters to slow down or for the viewer to process what has happened previously creates an overwhelming sense of impending calamity. Brilliant film I absolutely loved it.

I feel the same about this movie. It resonated with something in me so much that it almost felt like some sort of religious experience. I don't know why, but when I walked out of the theater that night I was a different person than the one that had walked in 3 hours earlier. I don't want to overanalyze this, I just treasure that moment, which no other movie has ever given me.

literally my favorite movie of all time! seen it whenever it plays on the big screen, seen it at Egyptian Theater and Quentin Tarantino's New Beverly Cinema..... fun fact: as a child, my family and the neighborhood (city of Rosemead/corner of San Gabriel) was able to see them lay out frogs all out during filming, they closed off the city streets... they also filmed deleted scene at former diner called Bright Spot, you can see them filming in this diner on the special feature making of Magnolia with the alternate Stanley actor and Dixon.

I think it's a great film. I watched it first when I was 16 with my parents who had pretty decent taste in film. This was definitely one of my favorites. I was pretty weirded out by the frogs but I stayed for the melodrama of everyday life. Watching it as an adult, it really holds up. The pickup artist character played by cruise is oddly prescient. The manosphere became surprisingly huge and this does a great takedown of that culture.

This was a movie I absolutely LOVED at the time. When the DVD came out, I rushed to buy it to see it again.... ...But I couldn't bring myself to watch it again. It's so relentlessly dour that the idea of watching it is too daunting to me. I've forgotten much of the movie. I couldn't tell you why Macy's mouth is bloody in your clip. It sure helped Aimee Mann's career for a while.
