In Film Dissection #60 we take a look at the philosophy found within the works of Paul Thomas Anderson.
Since Paul Thomas Anderson first sprung onto the film scene he has gained attention for his masterful film craft, attention to detail, and stories that can speak to everyone. His movies look at life from the perspective of a protagonist unsure about his purpose in life. Each movie on its own explores this, but collectively, a new message appears. In this analysis, we break down what his work says about the meaning of life. If you're not familiar with his work, I highly recommend it, he is a great filmmaker, and has made some of the best movies of the past two decades.
For further reading, I recommend:
