(drama)
Magnolia is the study of nine lives in one day in San Fernando Valley, California. These nine lives all connect and revolve around the game show "What Do Kids Know?"(WDKK), where a team of three kids play against adults and everytime the show is on, there is a new team of adults and the kids remain; if they won the previous game. Earl Partridge (the late Jason Robards) produced "WDKK" when it was first on in the late 60s. He is dying of brain and lung cancer and is being taken care of by Phil Parma (Philip Seymour Hoffman), a male nurse. Linda, Earl's trophy wife (Julianne Moore) starts to fall in love with Earl for real, despite her cheating. Earl, rapidly dying on his bed, asks Phil to find his estranged son, Frank T.J. Mackey (Tom Cruise), who grew up hating Earl and now runs a seminar for single men, which teaches them how to seduce a woman and leave her... The host of "WDKK", Jimmy Gator (Philip Baker Hall), is also dying, but not as rapidly as Earl. He has a very rocky relationship with his daughter Claudia (Melora Waters), who sniffs crack 24/7 and accuses her father of sexually molesting her. Police Officer Jim (John C. Reilly) goes to Claudia's house after getting called about a disturbance. He falls in love with her right away... Stanley Specter (Jeremy Blackman) is a contestant on "WDKK", who is a genius and is being used by his father to make money. If Stanley and his team keep winning, they will set a record on the show and get tons of money. The record Stanley is trying to beat is the 1968 record set by Donnie Smith (William H. Macy), who had the exact same childhood when he was on the show and has now grown up to be a pathetic loser. He's been recently fired from his job, and is trying to find his way into happiness...

'Magnolia' seems to divide audiences as much as bewilders. Some
should be seen as a brilliant exercise of imagination, reflection and
moviemaking, a film that defies the notion that modern American cinema
consists exclusively of retreads of previous formulas movies or stain, < br> mechanical sample of technical virtuosity, is meaningless and feeling. Others view
'Magnolia' as the nom plus ultra of
pretentiousness and self-satisfied smugness. Which of the two assessments is correct -
Or the truth lies somewhere in between?
actually, there is much to admire and appreciate in `Magnolia '.
The writer / director Paul Thomas Anderson has done a commendable job in putting on the screen
a relatively unique vision - a title I feel compelled to make
, since it seems clearly derived from most
the trailblazing work of director Robert Altman. Like Altman, Anderson creates a large canvas

and examine its role in the redemption that we all seek through the
course of our lives. In this movie, the characters die struggle for fazer amends with loved ones who will soon leave behind, while temporarily separated

tremendously wide range of characters, but for a film set in the northern areas

seem to have created a number of fronts to help them cope with the

theme, then, the film is an Anderson. So spectacular,
however, suffers from some serious shortcomings. Many readers and critics have called
`Magnolia 'an artistic advancement, both in depth and scope, for
Anderson, whose previous film was the same dense, moderately free
` Boogie Nights' . I tend to disagree. In any case, `Boogie Nights',
limited to a restricted much more restrictive environment - the 1970's
porn industry - and intensely focused on one main character, managed to connect more
directly with the emotions of the audience. Magnolia ',' by

often the script, running a little over three hours, often
seems bloated, given the only of its basic theme. Undoubtedly, a
Some of these characters and arguments could have been dispensed with not
great cost to the film as a whole. By aligning all his characters to fit
in the same general topic, the author allows his message to be a bit heavy-handed
and more emphatic. Anderson seems to want to capture
entire range of human experience in its enormous (and enormously long)
film and canvas, however, because the characters all seem to be tended in the same direction
- and Although the details of their experiences are different
- the net effect is claustrophobic thematically.
The controversial ending, in which an event of the Bible to the letter
proportions occurs, generally feels right in the context of this movie, albeit with some
reservations. It seems perfectly in tune with the highest quality
Anderson realism that establishes and maintains throughout the
table. Moreover, in order not identify one of the failures of
the film as a whole. Given that the script has a strong Judeo-Christian
subtext running all the way through it, one wonders why Anderson
felt obliged to approach these issues in religious terms strictly oblique.
None of the characters - even those who are dying - seemed to turn to God
for their forgiveness and redemption. Indeed, one wonders what the purpose of ending
extravagant serves as the characters are well on their way to
amending by the time it happens.
Marshal Anderson has a set of first-class performances from a talented,
known cast. Tom Cruise offers a heartbreaking case of an in-depth study,
shyster charismatic, which has its Parley misogyny in a lucrative
self-help industry. However, like many of the characters, this facade
used as a shield to hide the damage caused by a father who abandoned him and a mother whose
slow and painful death was compelled to give testimony in itself alone. Other
actors, too numerous to mention, in turn equally worthy performances.
Particularly interesting is the boy who, in counterpoint to one of the
other characters from history, succeeds in saving itself at an early age
the crippling effect of identity theft that has taken so many others
in this movie, a lifetime to overcome.
In many ways, `Magnolia 'is the kind of film that could easily serve as the basis for a long
doctoral dissertation of a student specializing in any of the movies
or sociology. The density of his vision, no doubt, return to
many riches of nature, symbolism and the theme for the first time viewer of the film
undoubtedly be lost. Thus, in many ways, `Magnolia '
is that rare film that seems to repeat the demand for public exposure
even those members who can not get' that 'the first time. As a visual experience,
`Magnolia 'often rambling and seems intent, but managing to get
under the skin, and, unlike so many other, less ambitious works, this
grows in retrospect.
A serious call to land after movie has come to
incredible film Magnolia. Human pain and suffering, as well as the ability to avoid mistakes
family, are explored in hypnotically
PT Anderson intricate film. This is the best movie I've seen
in over a year and are expected to set a new example of realistic cinema
representing actual loss of life and tragedy. You grow and suffer with
each and every character in this huge movie set.
Magnolia is indeed a kind of tree with different branches of people,
situations, and irony. To get into any plot points would be absurd.
This is a movie of 3 hours flying so fast, you want more. You do not
like all the characters, but you will find all the characters
extremely interesting. Rarely have never seen such deep character portraits in a

vibrant, different colors of the human spirit.
PT Anderson has come, especially after Boogie Nights, he

not lose a beat. It takes place over a period of 24 hours with approximately 12 major
players whose lives intertwine in various degrees of seriousness and sadness
. Some sad start and end hopeful, but these are few and
fortunate in this picture.
The highlight of the great cast, in particular, Julianne Moore as the wife of tycoon
shattered television "Earl Partridge (Jason Robards), existing only to see
now before he died of eye cancer. She is one of the
bad luck, a character who made so many errors that it can not fazer over. Philip Baker Hall is like the great host of "What Kids Know?"
Game with a show truly engrossing side-plot. Hall is also dying and
may have done irreparable damage to all around him.
John C. Reilly is the centerpiece of this extraordinary film. His cop
is the moral character average in the center of some unpleasant facts.
Is also the most likable character because he knows how to treat people,
unlike most others. He sees how the mistakes can not always be formed by

that took some courage to do so. He is completely original, but not
end all and all for a film that for once.
This particular day, as captured and presented by the writer-director Anderson
, has had a profound effect on me. If I see it, you can
know what I mean. Some scars last forever in this life and we all suffer and feel pain
alike. Magnolia is like Five Easy Pieces of speed. We
