This movie was running longer than expected and I was late for work - was getting up out of my seat from the theater, and this scene started, I sat back down because I was like, “What the fuck is happening? I can’t leave now…”
Everything is perfect in this scene: the directing, the acting, the Vfx, the SOUND (it would deserve an Academy Award), the cinematography... the way the steadicam moves under the frogs, as if the camera was hit as well, the diopter that gets in front of the lens to focus the very small sign "but it did happen" on the painting... masterpiece! And after this chaos, everything comes back to the quietness of the finale.
There are three hours+ films that i love, unquestionable masterpieces-- Barry Lyndon, Jeanne Dielman, The Godfather movies, Heat, etc.-- that in spite of their beauty and excitement still have one or two boring moments. Magnolia is the lone exception. I watch it at least once a month, and never avert my attention except to take a bite or a swig. I can have my phone handy, and am never tempted to look at it even once. How this film hasn't made the Sight and Sound poll after being eligible x3 is a great mystery. It's perfect.
It is a masterpiece. I, especially the love the honesty and genuineness of the characters. The love story of Claudia and Jim is so good. That's how love should develop - with total unadulterated honesty.
It's not just biblical. This event really did happen. Frogs got sucked up in a water spout and stewed around in a storm cloud and was dropped like rain. The greatest thing about this movie is that it's not just biblical justice and that's it. It's contrasted by Stanley, who is able to appreciate with pure wonder the new experiences and surprises that the world throws at us, and not have to wonder what it means. Where humans of the ancient world saw an event like this or a solar eclipse and cowered and plead to their gods in reply to what must be divine judgment, Stanley just looks on and says "this is something that happens."

That gravity shot inside the ambulance is excellent.

The way Phillip S. Hoffman said that was like he'd seen it before.
😂 Indeed.
He was a really good actor. 🙏❤️
_...but it did happen..._
Just the most insane movie sequence I've ever seen

Absolutely. Magnolia was a great film and more importantly, the acting performances in this movie was top notch.

The raining frogs incident
_"If you refuse to let them go, I shall cast a plague of frogs across your entire land!"_
*The Book of Exodus. Chapter 8. Verse 2.*
This movie is weird as hell but even I'd agree it's a masterpiece

Respect the cock
I can't wait to see what RUclips recommends for me after liking this video...
LoL.
Must be the work of a weather controlling stand
PTA has said robert altman was his number one inspiration this is probably inspired by the earthquake at the end of altman's short cuts
Great movie !
Cause and effect
I remember when I first saw this scene, I was like "What the actual hell just happened!?!?"
Why just frogs and not other small creatures?
Something to do with Biblical symbolism.
This movie is just so damn weird
