The Best
film of 1999. Plain and simple "MAGNOLIA" is an amazing film. From the
first time I saw it I was astounded.
Paul Thomas Anderson is a real talent and will be around for a long time.
It has been just that, a long time, since somebody came along with back
to back films as powerful as "Boogie Nights" and "Magnolia". Anderson
is able to get great performances out of all of his actors. Tom Cruise
won the Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Globes should have gotten
the Oscar but he is young and Michael Caine is old.
Anderson weaves several different stories that come together in the end.
You will be thrown for a loop at the end and when you think about it,
it all makes sense. At over three hours long it is on two tapes but only
one DVD so go out and get a DVD player to experience and amazing film.
