EDIT: PTA = Paul Thomas Anderson. My bad.
More from Spielberg:
quote:
“What an insane movie, oh my God,” Spielberg said (via The Film Stage). “There is more action in the first hour of this than every other film you’ve ever directed put together. Everything, it is really incredible. This is such a concoction of things that are so bizarre and at the same time so relevant, that I think have become increasingly more relevant than perhaps even when you finished the screenplay and assembled your cast and crew and began production.”
quote:
“I have not seen a movie that is so tonally a relative to Stanley Kubrick’s ‘Dr. Strangelove,'” Spielberg added in his praise. “This brings a kind of absurdist comedy, taken very seriously, because it’s so much a reflection of what’s happening today, every day, throughout this country. But it takes it to a point where you want to laugh, because if you don’t laugh, you’re going to start screaming, ‘This is too real.’ And so you got that outlet… more than nervously, I had a great time laughing all the way through this. But it’s interesting where you laugh here, where you allow us to laugh, and then when you shut it down.”

From Hollywood’s point of view, we know exactly what this means…..

I mean, the trailer shows it's basically a film about a former commie-radicalist and his semi-estranged, neo-Marxist radical terrorist daughter.
This is a film about 3-4 yrs past it's 2020 wannabe due date.

It’s a movie about Sean Penn kidnapping Leo’s daughter because he hates biracial relationships

The film is based on the Thomas Pynchon novel: Vineland.
It's obviously not about 60s hippies, but you can get the vibe.

I love PtA. I love DiCaprio.
I won’t be seeing this.

It's based on a Thomas Pynchon novel, it's bound to be kinetic, half crazy, and largely inscrutable. Also, obligatory Teyana Taylor Fade gif.

Excited for this. If PTA makes a movie, I’m going to see it, no questions asked.

I've seen two trailers for this movie before other movies I went to see.
The first one made it out to be a humorous film and I got that reaction myself and others in the audience.
The next trailer used most of the same scenes but with a serious presentation. No laughs at all.
It is pretty interesting what a trailer can do for a movie.

It's amazing how many Hitlers we've been able to survive as a nation. But it's actually super serious this time because Current Hitler and Next Hitler are actually Hitler.
