  • “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.

      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.

    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.
