I truly appreciate this. My only question: Why no "Inherent Vice"? Again, thank you for this.

Thank you for this. I hated "The Phantom Thread" until now.

Saying nothing during the There Will be Blood segment, letting other people (many of them great artists on their own) speak for you was a brilliant stylistic choice.

Why would you skip Inherent Vice? I mean its his worst movie in my book. But if you think so too It would be interesting to dissect why.

the retrofuturism really does fit into the themes of the setting: having achieved the ability to engineer human beings, society engineers them to match recycled notions of beauty and excellence, reinforcing an old social hierarchy in a new way. The engineered society is a society without the ability to dream of the future.

THE MASTER IS MY FAVOURITE FILM GOING

_when stripped to the bone, Anderson’s more eruptive than a volcano on a bad day._

Anyone ever noticed how there is no video technology in the Gattaca Universe. Its a way to get rid of the plot hole of survalence ruining everything in the movie but I genuinely think Gattaca is based in a future where video technology was never invented lol you never see a TV or a camera at all

1:27:56 film of PTA that i will never re-watch, mb there is nothing for me? Cast and alignment is perfect. It's PTA. But im just not there. 1 time solid view, very enjoyable.

Gattaca is a wonderful classic science fiction. I understand it cost $20 million to produce but made only $12 million. How could a masterpiece be a loss? 25 years ago was an era when most people didn't go for things like science fiction and conspiracy theories. Today everyone mostly agrees that the real world is being redefined by science fiction and conspiracy theories for it's an obvious given in the 2020's.

My favorite film of all time, from the score, the pacing, the acting, the message. Its simply stunning.

Glazer has more range. None of his films have the same style.

Please forgive me, you probably get this question a lot, but what was the song that plays throughout, “THE DEBUT” ?

How does this channel not get more attention? Great video!

God bless you.

Inherent Vice was skipped?

as an angeleno, magnolia is pta's best. as a valley kid it's so true. it hits home. pta does his homework.

Really great video. Didn’t he make Inherent Vice as well?

Such a deeply beautiful, underrated movie. Thank you for talking about it!

God, Norm.

So… no Inherent Vice?

Wonderful essay, but it's a shame that Inherent Vice wasn't included in this...

@SpiffBenevolent Great retrospective. It had the same effect on me as Matt Zoller Seitz’ overview of Wes Anderson in that I now want to immediately re-watch all of his films.

incredible watch. thank you

I also found Phantom Thread to be a romantic comedy. I laughed at so much subtle comedy while the rest of the theater didn't seem to get it. The beauty of poisoning him and the burlesque of the protagonist balancing the heavy woman customer up the stairs seemed very compatible .

Magnolia is perfect

Apologies if you mentioned it, was Inherent Vice left off because it was an adaptation? That movie still has his fingerprints all over it as if it was an original screenplay. Great essay regardless!

Great video, I think The Master is my favourite work, would have liked more depth with that film!

No Inherent Vice?

Explain it to me how in "There will be Talking" that Ciaran Hinds, the great Irish actor, is given a nothing role and we watch while a glass of milk is downed signifying nothing. Man I hated that film. Pretentious longheurs. Hard Eight was decent, but genius I think not Finknottle.

Why did you pass on Inherent Vice?

I loved your documentary. The quality and pacing were phenomenal. I do have a question though: Do you know why Craft and Circumstance is not available to purchase, rent, or stream? I've seen all of Paul Thomas Anderson's films, love them all. Again, great job, perfect editing and lovely pace!

Ebert went full "point/counterpoint" lol

This is great, deserves many more views! Would be interested to hear your takes on more explicit scenes and why some feel weird to watch while others feel like significant pieces of character development, or information about the characters the audience needs to understand plot/relationships

I don't think his movies are bad per se, but the whole 1:33:37 part with the Licorice Pizza movie is just.. weird. There seems to be this oddness with certain directors with making movies and in covering odd age differences with guys and girls, in any direction. It's just weird, and unnecessary honestly. Might just be somewhat biased though, have never really overly cared for his movies like some do.

why did you skipped inherent vice man?

PTA should have won best picture for There Will Be Blood. Its only weakness was the supporting cast. To surround the great Daniel Day Lewis with so many unknown and lesser actors was the only flaw. But otherwise a perfect film and the soundtrack was amazing. All of his films without Day Lewis have these big ensemble casts with lots of great famous actors in them. Would have been great to see DDL sparring with Philip Seymour Hoffman or JoaquinPhoenix

the only downside to Local Hero is there are no better films than Local Hero sure you can watch Withnail and I once more but in the end your done 🤷🏻‍♂

For all his seriousness, the thing that warms me to Anderson the most is his humour. He's one funny guy, as was his old man. One of the funniest clips of Anderson is him speaking to Chris Nolan at a Q and A for Phantom Thread. Nolan, it turns out, is a huge fan and he had his family sit and watch Phantom Thread with him at home. The delight on Anderson's face when Nolan tells him his family have taken to calling him 'Mr Woodcock' when he gets dictorial at home! 'Son, will you please clean your room before I lose my patience?!'. 'Yes Mr Woodcock, right away Mr Woodcock!'. That's pretty funny!

This is an excellent film essay about PT Anderson, but I'm compelled to point out that the industry transition in Boogie Nights was from film to VHS, not digital. Loved this video.

Licorice Pizza didnt quite do it for me, but other than that PTA has one of the most complete filmographies of any director ever.

I've done nothing with my life.

Very

Why did you have to do Inherent Vice like that?

Dunning - Kruger Reid made me actually laugh out loud.

I like how you just kinda said fuck it, let’s just pretend he didn’t make Inherent Vice. To be fair, it is his most forgettable film.

Small note "the camera happens to be there, capturing what was happening at the moment..." - this was very intentionally stated by George Lucas when he was making Star Wars. It was very important to him. This is also evident in his other 2 films, leading up to SW.

Eric Ross, you *are* in fact one of these exceptionally narrow-minded pretentious amateurs who were so hopelessly bad at math and sciences at school that in order to find themselves at least in the vague and speculative field of liberal arts and film studies, they had nothing better to to do than to quote and rephrase a ton of cliches and bogus tropes captured and recycled from ridiculous texts ranging from French structuralism to “critical thinking theory”, aren’t you? Congratulations, you made it)

All this for the licorice pizza boy??
