Thought this was great and the short film of deleted scenes is really nice, I really like that PTAnderson always seems to make something like a proper little film from his deleted scenes.
I initially thought Alma was crying for the emotional trainwreck woman in the green dress but she was actually crying for the dress. Did anyone else make this initial mistake? Was this a deliberate mislead? Funny either way.

lol iirc the DVD of "Anchorman" came with a whole 90 minute second film cobbled out of deleted scenes, with a different plot and including an entire subplot starring Chuck D.

I've heard that the European-only Blu Ray of The Science of Sleep has a "B-Roll Version" of the film made from deleted scenes and alternate takes.

fave scene was the surprise party argument, his pleasure in his cruelty and her being fit for him in it making him regressively more childish
he really has to play yeats tho, ill say it again

movie it brought to mind, aside from those mentioned upthread- perfume

I watched this again the other day too (that it's just been added to Netflix is maybe the reason we are discussing it. I still love it but still find that the denouement kinda comes out of nowhere.

I assumed that Vicky Krieg would become a massive star after this and I'm surprised it never happened.
his submissions to her throughout the story signal the ending fairly enough imo
once he let her drive it was all over

Krieps hasn't made a similarly 'big' movie, whether that's her choices or not... soon to be seen as Marvin Gaye's girlfriend in a biopic, directed by Julien Temple.

really perfect film, i started to think it was more linear than inherent vice or the master and then there was the scene where he saw his mother in the corner of the room.
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 31 March 2020 13:25 (four years ago) link
the shots of him starting to make a dress for alma on their date, the intoxicating shots of the pinning of fabric, juxtaposed with the weird sudden juddering impositions of control when he starts measuring her... there's so much below surface tension in this movie, which is staggering when thought of next to pta's early films, which are pretty much all surface tension

idk, that was really frustrating to put together. pta's fuckin great. can't believe my favorite director in high school is having such a rich mature period

Sorry, I've made this point a million times, but whenever I see talk of PTA's or Spielberg's or Scorsese's rich mature period, to me it's like Sarris propping up Seven Women or The Countess of Hong Kong along similar lines in The American Cinema. Loving these late films is fine, I just take issue with the implication that Boogie Nights or Jaws or Mean Streets are, I guess, less rich and immature films. They're the Sex Pistols. I'm glad the Sex Pistols never hung around for their rich mature period. (Ignore reunions and other projects.)
― clemenza, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 14:46 (four years ago) link
i mean i've got magnolia way up in the rankings so it's not like i'm dissing his earlier work. they're still of markedly different calibers though, and it makes him a more interesting artist to have both periods
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 31 March 2020 14:56 (four years ago) link
pta's division down the center of his filmography is also a way clearer narrative than trying to define a rich mature period for either spielberg or scorsese, for me at least. and even then that's simplifying things too much, phantom thread is totally in conversation with punch-drunk love
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 31 March 2020 15:00 (four years ago) link
I like the "in conversation" idea.
Don't mind me, I'm just a stubborn defender of those guys' earlier films.

Magnolia is my least fave by now, I agree w/ PTA that it should be cut way down.
― brechtian social distancing (Simon H.), Tuesday, 31 March 2020 15:29 (four years ago) link
it was my favorite movie of all time when i was in high school/college and i rewatched it last week and its effect has not diminished, i have no objectivity about it. it is just this cascade of scenes and dialogue and performances i love building up to catharsis. though this time i noticed how the deletion of the worm plotline essentially makes some characters fully disappear from the plot (stanley)
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 31 March 2020 15:33 (four years ago) link
(deleting an entire plotline is still one of the smartest choices pta made with that film)
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 31 March 2020 15:34 (four years ago) link
I saw Magnolia last year for the first time and while it didn’t land the way it would’ve if I were in high school there’s some stuff in it that really landed for me. Much of it to do with Tom Cruise’s hollow-eyed performance.

I've never watched a film in which a director's absolute mystery of visual and sound design and cinematography had me vacillating in sympathy from one character to the other.

lol mastery
It’s interesting to me that altho I have adored PTA’s work since Boogie Nights, nearly all his films have felt incomplete to me. BN and Phantom Thread probably the most complete. But there’s always something unresolved or not quite tucked in. Don’t know if it’s a flaw or a signature.
― assert (matttkkkk), Sunday, 16 January 2022 22:56 (two years ago) link

I think he senses it too, which is why his endings can seem like he's wrenching to put all his meanings in order.
― Halfway there but for you, Sunday, 16 January 2022 23:11 (two years ago) link
he removed an entire story thread from magnolia, he’s def got the impulse

i don’t agree with the sentiment about his endings tho. did the ending of the master give you the feeling he was trying to put all his meanings in order? far from it imo

Yes, I think The Master is his most successful film with, no coincidence, his most successful ending.
― Halfway there but for you, Monday, 17 January 2022 02:20 (two years ago) link
haha fair! but i love the way inherent vice and phantom thread end too, and neither of them feel like a late massing of the film's themes
