Three hours of experimental movie.
Scenes from six to seven groups of people who have different cultures not related to each other run parallel.
In each of them settings, language, talk, cultures differs. After two hours viewer can still notThree hours of experimental movie.
Scenes from six to seven groups of people who have different cultures not related to each other run parallel.
In each of them settings, language, talk, cultures differs.
After two hours viewer can still not set the relation between them.

this movie without a doubt is the most creepiest 3 hours i spent on the big screen for long long time the writing is so weird that after finish watching the movie i felt manipulated and i felt that Paul Thomas Anderson should made a betterthis movie without a doubt is the most creepiest 3 hours i spent on the big screen for long long time the writing is so weird that after finish watching the movie i felt manipulated and i felt that Paul Thomas Anderson should made a better explanation for all the events that been going on for the entire movie i get the idea that everyone was acting hard but some of them tried so hard it's ridiculous for example Alfred Molina has a 10 minutes of fame and he was acting like it was a scene from the godfather ,Tom Cruise and Julianne Moore did their parts very well but after all the movie is awkward but that make sense since Paul Thomas Anderson is also the director and the writer of there will be blood that awkward movie with a very questionable ending. after this i will never watch his movies again.… Expand
