MAGNOLIA

A deep, dramatic movie that wonderfully interweaves the lives of ten people during one day, and ties the vignettes together with a surprising, twisted, random ending.

“Magnolia” has to be the film with the greatest acting ensemble I have ever seen. And not only could I believe the reality of the characters, but I could also feel their emotions, and take what most of them had learned byt the end of the film and apply it to my life. Life can be coincidental at times, and God can throw random things, good and bad, at you. But you have control over your own actions and you own emotions. And there are always consequences, good or bad, that follow your actions and emotions. The screenplay of the movie was wonderful, and Aimee Mann’s songs along with Jon Brion’s score also helped “Magnolia” stay at such a high level. A perfect movie. Absolutely amazing.
