Hey, this is really good stuff. It is very seldom I am so into a movie as I was when I saw this movie. After ten times, I am still as impressed as when I first watched this great and magnificent movie about tragedies and parallel histories that are tied in some way.
Frank TJ Mackey (Tom Cruise) is a known profile but what nobody know is that his real father is Earl Partridge (Jason Robards) who lies for his death. Partridge's production company produces the TV jeopardy show "What do kids know" of which the program leader is Jimmy Gator, who has Cancer and a troublesome relationship with his daughter. His daughter, Claudia, sniffs cocaine and meets a police, Jim, whom she goes out for a date with. Stanley, a clever guy, is a participant of the show "What do kids know". Donnie Smith was the cleverest guy when he as a child won a jeopardy show, but since the thunders met him, his life hadn't been that good. As the day pass, it turns out a horrible day - it rains, someone gets panicked, some secrets are told and the question is: Is everything that happen in the life a coincidence?
An interesting movie with great actors. No doubt, Paul Thomas Anderson has directed a small masterpiece with a masterful story.
