a) It's his best performance. In general, I'm not a fan of his acting, which exudes his exuberance than the character's.Quote:

When the subtexts are about the "alienating" of the characters who are just ostensibly interconnected. Anderson employs the incongruous event, which is alienating to the intuition. The juxtaposition of loosely and closely-linked characters are "connected" by the frog-rain with its unpredictability. The usage of the event is more stimulating than a truly cataclysmic event, ala Shortcuts, where Altman doesn't believe in proving a gripping denouement (like in Magnolia), but stays true to the theme of unifying by the event. As in Shortcuts, we are led to the theme of fate, infidelity, and the accidental, coincidental and consequent encounters within the characters in Magnolia.

I think his films or on par with Kubrick/Kurosawa when it comes to visual elegance (have not seen any of Bergman/Tarkovsky). Blue is my favorite right now. White was the simplest, blue was the most beautiful and Red was the best. I have no words to describe the cinematography and the soundtrack :bow: :bow: :bow: Had to read IMDB/Wiki to fathom a few things :oops: May be my next viewing would be more enjoyable.
Nerd, did you notice that all three movies have one scene in common: that of an old woman struggling to drop a bottle in a recycling bin? In fact, 'The double life of Veronique' too has a similar scene. Did you understand the significance of it?
Oh yes. Those scenes were easy to understand when compared with Blue's climax, for an example :oops:
Julie completely ignores her - Liberty from the world. Karol grins at her sarcastically - Equality, someone in the world is as pathetic as he is. Valentine helps her - Brotherhood
