Magnolia - Movie Review
Thursday, January 03, 2013
Had every spoken “fuck” been omitted from it, the movie
would have finished 30 minutes earlier. And there would still have enough curse
words left in the movie to leave the impression intact.
This is the movie of Drug Addicts, child molester, Spouse
cheaters, misogynist, humiliated kids etc. Some of them are dying from cancer,
almost all of them are feeling guilty about their past.
Probably this and the reason that some Judeo-Christian biblical
references were made throughout the movie (out of ignorance, I didn’t understand
or appreciate any of it); I guess the reviewers on IMDB found the movie so philosophically
intriguing. A good number of reviewers actually find this movie relating to
real life around them.
I don’t come across people (that I know of) who are child
molester or spouse cheaters and I am yet to see a person dying from cancer and
making confessions about dark past. So I couldn’t relate to it and from my perspective
it’s a pointless movie with brilliant acting performances.
Movie is depicted mostly in realistic fashion, except that there
is a dense frog rain, sometimes characters become singers (All in same rhyme) and
there was a reference made (twice) to 3 unrelated short stories where chance
had unrealistic dominance. May be this was done to artificially stir the viewer’s
brain into pointless thoughts.
