Archimedes Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Magnolia is a 1999 film by Paul Thomas Anderson. It follows several different people during a day in San Fernando Valley, which become more and more connected with each other. Most of the characters are vicitims of child abuse and the film is very effective in portraying their different coping strategies. It also plays into mysticism (sometimes strange things happen) and the forgivness of the child. There are very powerful and triggering scenes in this movie. I really like this movie, although I don't agree with its entire message. 1
