I couldn't cover everything, obviously, but this is as definitive a retrospective I could make given the limitations of KZbin and the desire to have a normal full length documentary runtime as opposed to a 15 hour behemoth. I hope you guys enjoy and learn something from it, even if you're a huge PTA fan. I gathered all the interview footage available...there's a lot of gold in here including a great clip from Norm (RIP) and M Night. All sources are in the description. Enjoy. XO.

okay I love PTA and you hit all the right notes. Now talk about Quentin Depieux and Rubber. I mean Incredible Violence is worth a mention, but Rubber is definitely a statement on film and the medium beginning with the outright audacity to say the introduction to Magnolia is BS hahahaha. and the directors experimental deconstructionist meta filmmaking is interesting anyway he's doing something with it.

Don’t forget John C. Reilly who might be the best actor of the bunch… certainly the most under appreciated. Double don’t forget that none these actors were who they would become at the time. They were all working in independent films and none of them except Sam had yet featured in a hit film, but Sam has always done any script that he likes and you can see why he might like it.

For all his seriousness, the thing that warms me to Anderson the most is his humour. He's one funny guy, as was his old man. One of the funniest clips of Anderson is him speaking to Chris Nolan at a Q and A for Phantom Thread. Nolan, it turns out, is a huge fan and he had his family sit and watch Phantom Thread with him at home. The delight on Anderson's face when Nolan tells him his family have taken to calling him 'Mr Woodcock' when he gets dictorial at home! 'Son, will you please clean your room before I lose my patience?!'. 'Yes Mr Woodcock, right away Mr Woodcock!'. That's pretty funny!

Adam has Anderson in stitches at times. Anderson is one of the least pretentious artists that has ever lived! @@EricRossReel

And it is fair to say Paul Thomas Anderson did not get to where he is as a writer/director because of his famous late father Ernie Anderson, the promo announcer for ABC since the 1960s. The elder Anderson was not a director and there was no sign of nepotism. He carved his own career path. 6:45 the final theatrical appearance of the man himself right in front of John C. Reilly in line.

It was amazing seeing Boogie Nights in the theater in early 1998.

Appreciate you noticing that... The Master is tricky--a few commenters have criticized that section because they felt like I didn't say enough or enough interesting things. The two problems I had with it are: 1. every time I watch it I think about it completely differently so it's hard to commit . 2. i was trying to vary up the information and not just doing influences, shot choice, aesthetic etc. every time. got more into what things mean later id like to revisit it later when i feel like i've settled on it. watching it for the project was probably the fifth time i'd seen it and im still undecided

@@EricRossReel I hear you on The Master. I remember the first time I saw it, I didn't know how to feel. My expectations were so high from There will be Blood, which is such a hard hitting, pretty well defined (themes/emotions, narrative cause and effect) that I felt a bit let down. But the more I watched it, the more I appreciated it. Now, I love it, though it is definitely a difficult movie to talk about. I still don't fully understand their relationship in it, or even the true emotion behind the song he sings him at the end. But the performances, the directing, the aesthetics - are all perfect, and definitely easier (and less interesting) to talk about for The Master. Honestly, you did as good a job discussing the film as anyone has that I've seen.

​@@lukewilliam3601 I've probably watched The Master about the same number of times. For me, it's peak PTA and peak PSH. Thinking about it now, it's both the obvious father/son story and one of PTA's great romances, albeit a tragic one. PTA's best romance is probably Phantom Thread and plot devices of it, are hiding in plain sight in The Master: the struggle between the main characters for control and the "less powerful" character poisoning the other, balancing that power struggle. Also, a string of violence and anger pulled taut just below the surface of love and courtship. (That's in Punch Drunk Love too). Marc Maron is right, they should just kiss already. My interpretation is they are straight, so they can't/won't. And maybe more importantly, Dodd can't walk away from his power, or his marriage which Freddy will surely undo. To have Quill, Dodd has to control him, but Freddy can't be controlled, (and Freddy wouldn't be Freddy if anyone did control him). So Lancaster has to "quit Freddy" as it were. Anyway, is there anything better than these outtakes of Phil and Joaquin smoking together: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaqXppyBaNabgJIsi=yDt9KETMNml55UtE

THis was great to watch, and you covered the best of his films. An hour or so later I thought "Wait, didn't he direct Inherent Vice?" It's hilarious that you left that one out but it kinda makes sense, too. I remember reading an interview of him saying he wanted to do his own "Big Lebowski" -whether that was facetious or said in jest or not, it feels like Inherent Vice sort of is his Big Lebowski / Fear & Loathing. Would be cool to see a review of that, although it's a departure and I don't think there's even a ton to unravel, but I might give it another watch.

Despite the fact that it's based on a Pynchon novel, its very, very PTA. Hope you will consider producing an updated version and adding that, it would make this already important document essential.

Completely omitting Inherent Vice “because it’s an adapted screenplay” is bullshit. You can just say(in the video) you don’t like it😅 it’s okay if you couldn’t come up with something to say about it but at the very least you could’ve included some visuals and mentioned the fact that PTA returned to that time period and location again for it. Also part of PTA’s genius is HOW he adapted the screenplay (because a lesser writer/director would have done a Pynchon adaptation in an awful boring and generally more conventional way) regardless of how you personally feel about it. He made Inherent Vice fit perfectly within his oeuvre and it deserves a spot in any sort of retrospective piece on his career.

But to avoid further confusion… Anyone curious about the omission of IV can see that you’ve already given them the courtesy of a reply. It’s closest to pure adaptation, you don’t think it’s on par with the others, & most importantly you don’t feel that you have any unique insights & you’d rather not spin your wheels in that direction. Enough said. The expectation of comprehensiveness/completeness is petty & sophomoric, & the critics might ask themselves why they’re obsessed with it. Surprising coming from those who appreciate PTA films, no?

Was that why it isn’t in it? I mean There Will Be Blood is an adapted screenplay too.

I also found Phantom Thread to be a romantic comedy. I laughed at so much subtle comedy while the rest of the theater didn't seem to get it. The beauty of poisoning him and the burlesque of the protagonist balancing the heavy woman customer up the stairs seemed very compatible .

Dodd sees Freddie as a specimen for study and later a beloved pet. Freddie represents all of the primal behavior of humans unencumbered by the self-awareness most people have to resist their urges and is therefore the most raw representation of what Dodd would like to cure in the human psyche.

There are certain verbal motifs that repeat over and over in Magnolia also. "Know" and "do" from One Is The Loneliest Number. Not to mention the Beatles "Hello"-- "go go go" and "hello hello hello". The music bubbles up in the dialogue and themes, although I don't think "Hello" is even in the movie. I always thought that was super cool and no one ever mentions it. ("Telling" comes up again and again, a word that is repeated multiple times in The Logical Song. There are others I can't remember.) "These strange things happen all the time."

I was a Californian in Florida in 1997. I went to see Boogie Nights. Aside from how mind-blowing it was, it made me so homesick. Backyard pool parties... surrounded by sundrenched oleander.... sweet, true, and vapid conversations over margaritas. No director comes close to evoking California's vibe.

Wow insane amount of detail covered in this doc, but really, was PTA over thinking every shot or was he more fluid making decisions on the fly. Was he working with his feel and the choices came out in in the editing room. I agree with the flowing camera movements, very well thought out, but there is room for movement here, he is fluid and that is were magic happens. This doc can fear you into thinking he is an intellectual perfectionist. Loved Liquorice Pizza, you cant see films like that anymore!

That first movie was amazingly good.. what’s funny is how I actually put that film on in the family living room.. just a few months before my dad got hired to be the location manager for Punch Drunk Love! I was this close to driving around in the car on those location scouts .. but I couldn’t get out of school.. still one of the biggest and most lamentable missed opportunities of my entire life lol Although.. I got to be an extra.. in the airport scene :)

The Sidney character from "Hard Eight" is an imagined expansion inspired by the the supporting character of the same name that Philip Baker Hall played in writer George Gallo and director Martin Breast's "Midnight Run". Also as another fun aside, DDL's Daniel Plainview performance is totally evoking director John Houston's voice and mannerisms. Only Norm MacDonald ever bothered publically noticing that blatant fact for some reason.
