I think John C. Reily had a very underrated performance in this movie, maybe it is becaus im not used to seeing him in anything this serious, but he did a phenominal job. Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Tom Cruise also did amazing.
It's a sin that this movie was not a hit. It is a crime this great movie was not nominated for Best Picture. It is sickening that American beauty won best picture in 99. What a joke. Great trailer, by the way.
Oh, come on, it's not SICKENING that American Beauty won. Even if Magnolia is a better picture, it doesn't mean American Beauty is terrible or didn't deserve honors. Studio politics come into play when it comes to the Oscars, and American Beauty isn't nearly as bad as some other undeserved winners.
This movie was good and probably should have been nominated for best picture. But a better film was made in 99 and it was American Beauty. Magnolia was a great movie, one of my favorite, but American Beauty was better.
Amerian Bauty was clumsy and hokey at times. It wasn't terrible, but Magnolia is a masterclass. Fuck the oscars, there a joke, a popularity contest. Basically, Kevin Spacey won best film.
Yeah. But I also thought this was one of Tom Cruises best performances ever.
Seymour Hoffman and Tom Cruise did the best job in my opinion. But of course, all actors were great, and Julianne Moore was BTW fantastic in this movie also.
I agree. I just mentioned "Short Cuts" because of alexman's comment about Magnolia and Babel. Short Cuts is much closer to Magnolia than Babel. Just compare this earthquake / frog thing at the end.

Cruise blew the roof of the entire movie. No one can ever write a character more perfect for him. Bravo to PTA!

bro, this movie is awesome.. but american beauty definitely should have won! it has so much morals and beauty behind it..do not question that

It does, certainly, but Magnolia is so much focused on grace and forgiveness, that for me it uptakes American Beauty.

'98 and '99 were definitely the most creative years for film... Magnolia, The Truman Show, Pleasantville, Being John Malkovich... all my favorites!

Magnolia has such a cute tagline. 'It will all make sense in the end.' I guess that's the hope we all share, Julius.
