Shen on Instagram: "Magnolia (1999), directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, is a postmodern ensemble drama built on parallel narratives and emotional synchronicity. Rejecting linear storytelling, it weaves themes of chance, guilt, and redemption through interlinked lives. Robert Elswit’s fluid cinematography and Aimee Mann’s songs create a lyrical yet chaotic texture. #paulthomasanderson #cinematic #edits #film #tomcruise"
