0:00.0 | Few scripts toss more challenging balls than the air and Jones juggles them all with |
1:57.3 | I know I like this movie. I just want to know why you enjoyed so much. It's one of my favorite movies, DeBlack519. |
2:10.8 | I could talk about Magnolia for a long time, but I'll do it as succinctly as possible. |
2:15.3 | I think what I love about it is it has such audacity and it really takes so many chances. |
2:19.8 | And I think by and large, it sticks the landing more than anything. |
2:25.0 | It sticks the landing more than any film has the right to. |
2:28.5 | For the first 10 minutes, particularly, or so audacious, that Paul Thomas Sanders literally framing this movie about chance and luck and opportunity and how it all converges together. |
2:37.5 | I think that the ensemble, whenever you have an ensemble piece, and we're going to talk about Ozark today, which is the main thing I'm reviewing, |
2:43.3 | it's hard to have all the characters be compelling, but in Magnolia, I think all the characters are interesting and engaging, and I'm curious about each of them. |
2:50.8 | I think a lot of them have a lot of depth of their character, which is hard because you're not the lead character. You're an ensemble piece. |
2:56.7 | I think Frogs falling from the sky took a lot of guts. Like ABPT Anderson pulled it off and it makes sense and it's memorable. |
3:02.8 | Having the whole soundtrack from Amy Mann, and there's one sequence where each of the characters sings a line from the song. |
3:08.7 | But that could go drastically wrong. Look at Stephen Bach's go as cop rock, and yet Magnolia takes all those chances and ends up being a very moving story about loss and about aging and surreal meditation on that. |
3:20.0 | And it's also really funny. Look at William H. Macy's character and this born loser. I've mentioned before, I think it's Tom Cruise's best film. |
3:26.7 | I have a lot of time for Magnolia. I just think the filmmaking level of it. It's a real bravura show from PT Anderson. |
3:33.9 | Another review here is from Brett Esbaker. My man always tweets this. |
3:36.9 | The harbott brothers often talk of attacking each day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. |
3:41.8 | I don't know about Adnan's days, but that's certainly how he hosts each podcast. |
3:44.8 | It's the kind of passion that inspires one to broaden their horizons as a fan of film every week. He is producer go go Joe set the table serve a three course meal of fun entertainment and education. |
3:54.5 | Always worth the time bonus content. My mouth rush more of tear jerkers. |
3:58.2 | This is good. We did this racing in the podcast. Thanks to Dan Stanzi giving us that recommendation. I like Brett's choices. |
4:04.6 | Mr. Keating says goodbye. That's dead poet society. I haven't seen it in so long. I'm honestly, Brett. I saw it. I was like 10. |
