Serendipity: Magnolia & Radiohead



I have been chippin' away watching Paul Thomas Anderson's classic Magnolia as I saw it listed on HBO Go.  Such a great film and one of those films with a Christian theme and symbolism that one could overlook if they either aren't Christian or aren't looking for it. That was the case for me when this film came out about the time right before or maybe right after I came to Christ.  This is my first time watching it fully after all these years. Such a great film.

Right after watching the film I do a google search on Paul Thomas Anderson and realize the new Radiohead video Daydreaming that came out yesterday was directed by him.  After just watching the film you can see some similar distinctive Paul Thomas Anderson shots in the music video that I had just watched in the film.
