'In the top 3 movies of that year' HELL NO, OF ALL TIME DAMN IT! This film on the making of Magnolia was great, too, I was pissing myself laughing watching Anderson playing a cruel demanding director with his friend at the end of the making short film. Writing and creating this epic film Magnolia was brave and difficult to accomplish, I'm so grateful to all involved. Thank you so much, it was an amazing emotional rollercoaster ride to watch, even when watching it for the 100th time it gives me so much.
Every behind the scenes should be like this. I don’t want a talking head of someone I don’t recognize talking about the movie and clips from the trailer peppered throughout. Just give someone a camera and let them wander the set during the production. That’s it.
This is one of those movies that you need to watch Even when is 3 hours long ot do not see that way. You getting into the movie and the movie got fast. The beginning of the movie does not make sense
PTA had his cadre of actors. Lots of buzz around Tom Cruise certainly and kudos for PSH, WH Macy, Julianne Moore, Robards, Baker, John C and Felicity. And there in credits for the movie at the end is "with Melora Walters". She rocked this part and was the heart and soul of the movie!
The part starting from 1:06:41 I'm not sure how this fits in. I think it's his girlfriend at the time, Fiona Apple, and they're rehearsing a scene. I'm not sure, do you know what it is?
Top film for sure. Fun to compare to Pulp Fiction, as both writer-directors’ first “big” project. Tom Cruise is not playing Tom Cruise, he’s a broken little boy, they should’ve Oscar nom’d him
1. Golden Bear for Best Film, Berlin 2000 2. Best Director, Cannes 2002 (ex-aequo/tied with "Chihwahseon" by Kwon-taek Im), 3. Best Director, Venice 2012, "The Master" And PTA is not in his 50s yet. That's how great he is.
Thank you, Paul Anderson, for BOOGIE NIGHTS and this, both masterpiece studies of human nature. Watching this, I was right in THAT MOMENT with every character.
He’s obviously coked up here and when he wrote/directed this. And like QT(whom I’m sure was coked up as well) he felt he had to do something different than his breakout film. QT ironically had to do this twice… he thought “Reservoir Dogs” was his breakout film, when “Pulp Fiction” was really his breakout film… so he pivots and does something different in “Jackie Brown” - except, Jackie Brown is better than Magnolia - and less ambitious. They both go into some lulls, mid career, but both figure out how to make masterpiece’s after their mid-career’s.
Idc what anyone says… this is the worst movie by PTA - (“Punch Drunk Love” a close second). I give him credit for experimenting, but when you have that much $ to make anything you want and can cast any actor(s) you want, he could have done better. It’s too long, too confusing, too boring, too pretentious. He went on to make masterpiece’s after this - I appreciate the effort - this just wasn’t good.
What I find so magnolia like is that Tarantino, Anderson and Wes Anderson share an early film trajectory. First films of all 3 were under the radar but critics loved them There sophomore efforts were wildly popular and shot them to stardom There 3rd films were divisive and their fourth films are cultish classics.
The fact that Magnolia, Eyes wide shut, Sixth Sense, American Beauty, Matrix, Fight Club, Being Joh Malkovich, The Green Mile, The Blair witch project, and Notting Hill was released in the same year, 1999, is absolutely mind-blowing. So many movies that will later be deemed classics. Nowadays we are lucky to have even 3 good movies in the same year.
Listening to this and even his interviews more recently it always throws me off. If I were to guess and I’ve never heard him anywhere before I would think the director of there will be blood, the master, phantom thread etc. would be almost professorial in his speech. He makes some of the most intellectually engaging studio films of the last 20 years and it’s refreshing that he’s not pompous or pretentious about his work.
i am dreading with the dream of just experiencing the insanely insane set and presence of a pta movie
Question: How do directors organize shooting order?

11:43 the dude behind pta upset at a newbie pa for not also shouting out is so real.

Have you ever been... high as fk
Cocaine's a hell of a drug.

When are we getting the 4K Blu-Ray release of "Magnolia" with "That Moment" as a bonus feature?
God this guy loves cocaine

I can't see William h macey without not hearing jerry lundergaard. Oh heck😂
Saw this opening weekend. Just fantastic
It’s so clear PTA and PSH are buddies with how they are behind the scenes and you can feel it in their movies.
If you like Magnolia, I’d highly recommend Altman’s Short Cuts.
After Boogie Nights, Deluca bought PTA an Avid for him to use and keep. At that time, Avids were about 250k. Dylan did a fantastic job on this film!
Top film for sure. Fun to compare to Pulp Fiction, as both writer-directors’ first “big” project. Tom Cruise is not playing Tom Cruise, he’s a broken little boy, they should’ve Oscar nom’d him
I just love this guy personality
Dat cocaine tho 😊👏

wtf is up with the footage of him and fiona apple lol
funny how there's no footage of tom cruise. perhaps he requested there be no bts of him in his contract
He did request it Paul said it in an interview that’s why he’d not on this
Touching! The nightmare you have to go trough to make a dream movie comme true!

Not sure Royal tennanbaum’s was divisive I think most people would consider it his best work
i walked out
PTA thalaivare,,,,
People dont care about her smiling!!!
where's the cruise?
37:32
I love 90s filmmakers on coke. They’re so happy and enthusiastic
I think i saw Magnolia 3 times when it was at the cinemas. In my early 20s. Watch it about once every year now. Amazing movie and cast.
9:08 Mr. Anderson, are you good?
I learned how many films are ruined by editors and studios by watching the awesome dvd extras like this. Makes one feel like a Tarantino
Love this movie. Looks like it had a decent budget, too. Also I think that gas station was in Jurassic Park 2.
Great Value brand Paul Rudd on Timpani 57:47
Cocaine is one helluva drug
Making movies is HARD sheeesh thank you Paul i mean WOW

Nottin hill? Really?
American Pie? lol
@@filmbuff4they said American Beauty
The year that movies ended and cartoons began
I would settle for one great movie a year from Hollywood, these days.
He's so good looking, he should have been in front of the camera
🤣🤣🤣 There was a snake outside the cabin!! 🤣🤣🤣So I wrote.
PTA forgot Beatrice Straight who won Best Supporting Actress for Network.
He's on so much coke
this is amazing

I'm feeling a Peruvian or Colombian influence here 😆
