The famous and mesmerizing scene from Paul Thomas Anderson's 'Magnolia' where the characters all begin to sing Aimee Mann's 'Wise Up', including The Best Show on WFMU's Tom Scharpling.

This is Paul Thomas Anderson at his finest

i liked it. i don't think we are ment to think the characters are all just singing along to the same song together. i think its just there to reflect how they are all in the same sad state of mind. i could be wrong but i like how the characters are all together in this one moment even though they are all alone.

it fits perfectly. Magnolia isn't supposed to be some straightforward dramatic narrative, it's poetic and beautiful.

it seems i have found this too late and hurt another in the process truly i feel regret and sadness at my own inability... thank you for posting this song

this movie is about the human experience, at the end of the day, we ALL just want to hug each other and cry. WE secretly want someone to hug us and say, Everything is going to be ok. From the the ones that look the happiest, and the ones that don't.
