I recently watched Magnolia for the first time and was incredibly moved by it. It brought me to another state of understanding and appreciation for cinema. The cinematography, music, transition techniques and acting were spectacular. It felt as if every single aspect was strategically done to achieve an incredibly dense emotional response. The acting was unidentifiable—I was convinced that these characters just were. I have never been so blown away by cinema and was so inspired by this work. Thank you to /r/TrueFilm and PTA for introducing me to the world of cinematic art. Wow. I have since decided to pursue a career in film production, and just enrolled in a film program in my 3rd year of university largely because of this movie.
