Magnolia

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Magnolia. The meaning is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical theories most of the movie will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Claudia’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into her characterization- her personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of this movie, to realise that they're not just true- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Magnolia truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Jimmy Gator’s existential catchphrase "a-ring a-ding do," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Paul Thomas Anderson’s genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
