MAGNOLIA
starstarstarstar
A sprawling, leisurely film that recalls Robert Altman's Nashville in both idiosyncrasy and emotional depth as it strolls through the lives of several unhappy Angelenos. They include spiritually conflicted Julianne Moore, trophy wife of dying TV mogul Jason Robards; Earl's home-care nurse Philip Seymour Hoffman; and Earl's estranged son, misogynistic motivational speaker Tom Cruise, who changed his name in an attempt to bury his family past.

  • I recently saw and loved the ... | Movie News | 8/4/2005
    Question: I recently saw and loved the movie Crash, and was especially intrigued by the way all the stories intersected and converged. Could you possibly give me a list of some other films whose stories are structured in the same way? Answer: I certainly can: First, for the benefit of readers who haven't seen Crash (2005), its structure is one in which multiple narratives are developed simultaneously and overlay or intersect at key points before converging at the end. Unlike ensemble movies in which there's a main plot and a series of subplots, films like this give more or less equal weight to all the story strands and derive a significant part of their thematic power from the apparently random way in which different characters' destinies come together.
