Dropping out of film school because the teacher made fun of Terminator, working for 20 years to build up enough goodwill with the suits so they’ll let you make your own Terminator movie, and then winning three Oscars for it … iconic
@NicholasKalikow@arXhiiipower@nightwriter22 i saw your comment and i thought maybe it's just an opinion, cool
but when i reached here..

"frogs", again, might have been too much or just something absurd for someone, but the characters not getting a good ending? bruv
Paul Thomas Anderson stays incredibly busy, even when he's not directing his own films or developing his own original screenplays.
While he might not be writing for himself, he has quietly been lending his talents to Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio once again.
Recent reports reveal that Anderson completely rewrote the script for What Happens at Night, a type of high-profile, uncredited ghostwriting he has famously done for both Scorsese and DiCaprio in the past.
For this project, Anderson also stepped into the crucial role of "standby director." This safety-net position ensured that if the legendary, aging Scorsese faced any health hurdles on set, a world-class auteur was ready to take the reins.
Fortunately, Scorsese remained in great health and successfully wrapped production himself. Now, eager fans are just waiting on an official trailer and a release date.
Filmmaker Park Chan-wook states, “I don’t think politics and art should be divided.”
“I think it’s a strange concept to think that they’re in conflict with each other. Just because a work of art has a political statement, it should not be considered an enemy of art. At the same time, just because a film is not making a political statement, that film should not be ignored. Even if we are to make a brilliant political statement, if it’s not expressed artfully enough, it would just be propaganda. So what I want to say is that art and politics are not concepts that are in conflict with each other, as long as they are artistically expressed, they are valuable.”
This scene is such a perfect encapsulation of the heart of the movie: anyone can be responsible for small revolutionary acts. The only reason Bob makes it to Willa is that normal people in his community helped him along the way. We only get out of this one together.

Paul Thomas Anderson used his Best Picture Oscar speech to shout out a bunch of incredible movies that DIDN'T win, reminding the "losers" tonight that their films will still go down in history:
"In 1975, the Oscar nominees for Best Picture were Dog Day Afternoon, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Jaws, Nashville, and Barry Lyndon. There is no 'best' among them. There is just what that mood might be that day. But we're happy to be part of this: a wonderful, wonderful journey with our fellow nominees, our fellow filmmakers, and our fellow filmmakers that even weren't recognized by the Academy. There's so many great films this year."
