did anyone ever see tom cruise's movie magnolia can anyone tell me what that movie was about?

Answer 1

Magnolia is the study of nine lives in one day in San Fernando Valley, California. These nine lives all connect and revolve around the game show "What Do Kids Know?"(WDKK), where a team of three kids play against adults and everytime the show is on, there is a new team of adults and the kids remain; if they won the previous game. Earl Partridge (the late Jason Robards) produced "WDKK" when it was first on in the late 60s. He is dying of brain and lung cancer and is being taken care of by Phil Parma (Philip Seymour Hoffman), a male nurse. Linda, Earl's trophy wife (Julianne Moore) starts to fall in love with Earl for real, despite her cheating. Earl, rapidly dying on his bed, asks Phil to find his estranged son, Frank T.J. Mackey (Tom Cruise), who grew up hating Earl and now runs a seminar for single men, which teaches them how to seduce a woman and leave her... The host of "WDKK", Jimmy Gator (Philip Baker Hall), is also dying, but not as rapidly as Earl. He has a very rocky relationship with his daughter Claudia (Melora Waters), who sniffs crack 24/7 and accuses her father of sexually molesting her. Police Officer Jim (John C. Reilly) goes to Claudia's house after getting called about a disturbance. He falls in love with her right away... Stanley Specter (Jeremy Blackman) is a contestant on "WDKK", who is a genius and is being used by his father to make money. If Stanley and his team keep winning, they will set a record on the show and get tons of money. The record Stanley is trying to beat is the 1968 record set by Donnie Smith (William H. Macy), who had the exact same childhood when he was on the show and has now grown up to be a pathetic loser. He's been recently fired from his job, and is trying to find his way into happiness...

Answer 2

David Lynch videos - (see you've already were given Blue Velvet in there - helpful) Wild At heart - nicely worth it if only for the Nicolas Cage performance, yet an excellent action picture as well, twin Peaks: hearth walk With Me - helps in case you observed the sequence, yet no longer somewhat needed, lost street and Mullhollandchronic - because the suspense would not somewhat end even after those videos are over, Eraserhead - noticeably sluggish besides the undeniable fact that the mood is elementary. a number of Lynch's extra "time-honored" works are Dune, The Elephant guy, and The instantly tale, yet you do not somewhat get a lot extra odd than the action pictures pronounced above. Lynch's type is somewhat his own and he has no qualms about proving it. that is almost as if he wakes up from a nightmare and writes a movie about it each and every once in a lengthy time period (pretty lost street and Mullholand Dr). another honorable mentions (no longer by utilizing Lynch) are Shallow Grave (early Ewen MacGregor/Danny Boyle movie), The Shining (Kubrick - merely inspect his total library; all nicely worth it), and noticeably a lot something by utilizing Terry Gilliam (12 Monkeys, Adventures of Baron Munchausen). desire that permits.

Answer 3

This movie is completely split between people who dont have long attention spans and dont like people with deep issues and therefore hate it and people who love deeper thinking and troubled souls and therefore love it. Its a study of how people deal with human misery, drug addiction, coming to terms with being a failure, difficult pasts they havent quite put away and all in 7 outstanding performances. It scares some people becasue unlike most sh** that is produced in hollywood with big explosions and effects this is purely based on characters interacting and how conincidental meeting will help them save eachother. It is such a beautiful movie...its NOT easy to watch, its not a barrel of laughs but it is a moving study of people at rock bottom struggling to find out what went wrong and what the **** life is all about. I love this movie but its not for the shallow minded who like a good "easy-viewing" movie. Plus it has a BEAUTIFUL soundtrack by Aimee Mann.

Answer 4

Death.

Frogs fall from the sky causing death and destruction, frogs being a mythilogical symbol for death, watch Dead Like Me for an explanation of the symbol, and in the end seemingly unrelated events and people find themselves strangely connected to the person who died.

It is a collection of perspectives on death and dying. How to deal with it and how it deals with you.

Answer 5

It's really about how strange coincidences happen everyday.
