34. "Magnolia is in good company" In response to In response to 0
Above, I posted about Magnolia's use of the unity of time and space. Can anyone think of another movie that executed this recently?
Uh, can anyone say Eyes Wide Shut? Easily one of my top ten movies, ever. I've seen it five times now, and I'll easily watch it five more. There is so much in that film that no one wants to grasp... the color motifs, the ambiguities between reality and imagination... it's all so incredible.
And I say Tom Cruise did better in Eyes Wide Shut than he did in Magnolia... but that's opinion.
Those who enjoyed Magnolia, I encourage you to check out Eyes Wide Shut. If you are confused, or just want further reading, check out this excellent site:
The critics blasted, I insist they all suck. Big time.
