@@fgbowen Caveats aside, the film is balls out confident and that's why I love it. His 3rd feature and his first after Oscar nominations. He could have played it safe, but he seemed to just think 'f**k that, let's go for it!'. Intentions are one thing, but he pretty much delivered what he set out to make. The only downside is Anderson couldn't play out the story of the Worm and the little rapping kid. There was to be a scene after the kid finds Linda Partridge in her car where he meets Stanley, for example. The kid and The Worm were also supposed to be driving by Donny and Jim after the shower of frogs and it was they who threw Jim's missing handgun back to him.

Funny how the father covers himself of the rain with some books, but he doesn't do it with his own son. Of course, that's not coincidence.
That's the amazing part of this film. So much is said just by the actions. You learn about the characters with the things that happen around them, not just by what they do.
@PegasusMagenta everything you see in movies is constructed and chosen for a purpose. there are mistakes sometimes but someone like paul thomas anderson would mitigate them
This movie's soundtrack is amazing. It added such a sense of foreboding and progression to the entire thing and made all of the stories feel connected. This is a very ambitous movie, and it certainly wouldn't have worked as well without it.
A little bit Kubrick, a little bit Scorsese, a touch of Robert Downey Snr here, a touch of Altman there. He's all those guys and he's not afraid to admit it, which I admire.
Note how he uses the music score in this scene too...it's always there, even though there is a lot of background noise and music during the scene itself. The man is brilliant!
Best movie EVER. My top-of-the-list - Followed by PotC, and 3rd is Minority Report. Many others on the list, but... this one, Magnolia, is just the EVER-best. Up-one-side-and-down-the-other perFECTion.
Jean-Luc Godard's Weekend has an 8 minute long shot of a couple in a car trying to get through a traffic jam, horns blaring the entire time. It's pretty incredible. Now that I think of it Breathless had a few long shots as well.
the longest single shot was from The Player opening sequence by Robert Altman. It was over 8 minutes for the single shot, and is probably the best bit of movie filming ever!
The longest single shot is actually an entire movie called Russian arc. Basically, it's a costume drama with a cast of 100s. The film was prepped over years, but the shoot itself, so the story goes, was done in 3 takes, the film being the 3rd take.
@@EnoVarma I did read that they had made a back up, made up of individual takes, so perhaps there was not as much on the line as there was with Russian Arc. I salute that film because they did it first. That said, I will have a look for Victoria and check it out. Thanks
Funny how the video title implies that you'll be seeing a shot that is 135 seconds, but the video is only 131 seconds and doesn't even start with the shot right away.
I love that Anderson got this flashy stuff out of his system early and now he is not afraid to just sit the camera in front of his actors and let them act. A lesser talent would pull out the same tricks movie after movie, but Anderson has really matured over the years. Hands down my favorite living film maker.
This is a fabulous point. While I love the whole choreography and the build up along with the score, as you termed it, it is 'flashy' and doesn't add too much to storytelling per se. Glad he's moved on from this kind of stuff.
@@pratikkhara5167 Don't get me wrong, I actually love the showoff-i-ness of Magnolia. Besides, he was still in his 20s when he made this and if you can't show off in your youth, when can you?!
@@davidlean1060 Oh no, totally. I didn't mistake you. I love this sequence myself. It's so well nuanced inspite of the outlandish camera work. A shot to remember forever. Would you call this a 'set piece'?
@@pratikkhara5167 Anderson's movies can be categorized into when he was a coke head and after. Magnolia is great because he put all that Colombian fueled bravura on to the screen. There isn't an ounce of doubt that a film featuring a biblical shower of frogs or a 4th wall break where the cast have a singalong together wouldn't work and damn it, I love that 'fuck-offness'. It makes perfect sense that once he kicked that habit, he would discover the quietly confident artist within and ditch the show off. In any case, even his show off films are fantastic! I love the camera work. It's like Scorsese times 100! I'd love to see him give a movie like that a go again though. He'd teach some of the modern day wannabe, the successful directors that, wrongly, get called 'genius' a thing or two!
@@davidlean1060 Wish PTA was more prolific. I'm not assuming it's an easy job weaving such threads to make luscious fabrics of storytelling, but this is me just getting greedy!
Notice how the kid drop his stuff. He apologised for it. His Dad didn’t even bother to help him. The woman looking after him treats him like an object too
Paul Elroy why are you comparing neglect and abuse?😕. It doesn’t matter if the woman treats him better than the Dad. Treating someone like an object is still a form of neglect/abuse.
I don't know if he has left those kind of gymnastics behind, but has he done a long take since? I must watch Phantom Thread again, I think the scene where Woodcock goes to the NYE party to find Alma is partly a one take, but I might be wrong.
@Jacob Sibcy BUt not to the extent he used them in Boogie Nights and Magnolia. He uses them like Speilberg uses them. SPeilbergs 'oners' are barely noticable because they serve the story so much. I admire that Anderson has it in him to be flashy and audacious, but chooses not to be nowadays. I can think of a few celebrated film makers who try and over complicate things the older they get, rather than chilling out with age. It's like Stewart Copleland said, you hear all the notes, but choose to play none of them!'
@@davidlean1060 Definitely not. Punch Drunk Love was his last movie to employ this Scorsese-esque overly busy camera work. His newer movies focus more on static camera angles.
@@t.hussain921 True. It's like he got all of that out of his system and shed his old skin. He's still very playful though, he hasn't lost that. There is a great long shot in Phantom Thread, when Reynolds arrives at the NYE party. It doesn't strike you at first though and that shows, I guess, how well the shot suits the story at that point.
There is a movie taken entirely with one shot i forget what its called but go look it up. Children of men has a 6 minute take also. Atonement has a 5 minute take
@@noqu9695 It's quiet an achievement that film. Having been on film sets occasionally, I can only imagine the choreography behind the scenes that had to take place to get everyone dressed, made up and put into position in time. Don't quote me, but the shoot was 3 takes, the final film being the 3rd and final take.
He still shoots on film too. There is a short behind the scenes video on YT about his choice of film and lenses for Phantom Thread, which he shot himself too. The man is a genius. Not only that, if you listen to his podcast with Marc Maron, he's a hoot on top of it all!
@coltsuperocean10 Thats not the longest single shot. Check out the Movie "Rope" by Hitchcock (1948) The movie is an hour and twenty minutes long, and is done in 10 shots, varying from 5-10 minutes each, because back then a film can was only ten minutes long thats the max he could do. The movie is shot brilliantly, they actually reference it for a split second in the opening scene of the player. And the best thing about it is that it's filmed to look entirely like one shot.
Dude, I did a similar video, citing exactly the same continuous camera shot (this same one, you chose here). Thing is - MY video looks like shit, and your video is so clean & pretty. Did you do something special to make the video look so good? I copied from DVD, and I think anti-piracy stuff might have made mine dark & grainy(?) Anyway, great job with the video! And Paul Thomas Anderson KICKS ASS AND TAKES NAMES!!
Nice tracking. Still, it is less than a third of Robert Altman's The Player intro which was 488 seconds. Of course, Magnolia is a much better movie overall.
You must have heard that Anderson was on the set of Gosford Park in case Altman couldn't finish the film. Altman is one of his major influences. Inherent Vice borrowed heavily from The Long Goodbye.

PT Anderson is a master of his craft. This is my favorite movie of all time. Hands down.
Utterly agree -
And there are a lot of great movies - but ... this one... Sheesh. It's incredible.
A modern-day parable in the best sense of the word.

And the good Lord bring the rain in!!!!!!❤❤❤❤😢😮
I love the way he moves the Camera. Reminds me of Kubrick
yes -
and I like the way he follows all the different people - turning - following - ... like passing the ball. For sure.
A little bit Kubrick, a little bit Scorsese, a touch of Robert Downey Snr here, a touch of Altman there. He's all those guys and he's not afraid to admit it, which I admire.
@@davidlean1060 He's also brilliant. Wrote this entire script on his own and it was 200 pages. Had to cut it down
