Ah! They cut off the BEST part of the intro. The final line:

And so it goes, and so it goes. And the book says, "We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us."

[fsamuels]

@fsamuels Ok, maybe not. I thought that was in the intro. I'm not sure where in the movie it is now. Near the end?

[JJJordl93xX]

I'm not seeing what's so spectacular about this.

Spoiler, dont read: 8 2

To Paul Thomas Anderson : get off your lazy ass and make a new movie!!!

[Rush555555]

@bimapringgo My sentiments exactly. Seems the most talented, most worthwhile directors; so it happens, are all lazy asses.

[MrBarackObonga]

@bimapringgo hes been on hiatus with 2 movies on hand, and since hes a new father im sure hes more than willing to drop a couple million that hes made on his children for a good couple of years ;) but yah hes working ona movie he wants to star philip seymour hoffman and another with robert down jr called inherent vice which i have been looking forward to ever since i found out, maybe 1-2 weeks ago, i want to read the book first for a change

[ButchClancyDubstep]

@bimapringgo He is, it's called the master and Philip Seymour Hoffman is finally getting the lead role in a PTA film. Check IMDB, it sounds amazing.

one thing that i never understood was why the parents would be charged with murder if it was so obviously an act of sheer coincidence. I guess now it's the fact that he wouldn't have died if he wasn't shot

[adamhada]

I also think this one of, if not the best, movie intros ever. PTA is brilliant!

[theguywhowatchmovies]

this maybe on of the best intros that I ever seen, I saw the movie 3 days ago, and it's awesome, it's one of the best movies ever made...

thank you for posting

[theguywhowatchmovies]

In an indirect way, Sydney's suicide was successful. He loaded the gun which ended up killing him.

[MrBarackObonga]

@segould but he loaded it to end his parents arguing, not trying to begin an argument hear, dw

[segould]

@MrBarackObonga That's why I used the word "indirect". It wasn't Sydney's intention to be killed by the gun, but because of a twist of fate, that's the way it ended up.

i cant think of a better intro for a film

[HalfLifeHalfDead]

please do, I would like to see that happening. No, I don't think this is "da best film eva" , but I doubt you'll think of anything better.

So, let's see it.

[batistabomber88]

Absolutely brilliant.
