 Esquire:The Next Scorsese:Paul Thomas Anderson
Paul Thomas Anderson says he doesn't know "if I'm the type of guy who'd want to run the world like Spielberg or retreat to a mansion in London like Kubrick.
Anderson appears to have his roots planted so deeply in the irrigated soil of the Valley that it would be difficult to cut himself off from his greatest source of sustenance.
But Anderson's talent seems so supple, muscular, and responsive to human foibles, and his ambition is so outsized, that there is every reason to believe that his stature will only continue to grow, as long as he learns that he doesn't have to make a three - hour film every time out.

 Paul Thomas Anderson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anderson is perhaps best known for his movies with large ensemble casts and complex, interweaving storylines, namely Boogie Nights (1997) and Magnolia (1999).
Anderson's stylistic trademarks include the frequent use of logistically difficult steadicam-based long takes, such as the opening shot in Boogie Nights (which lasts approximately 3 minutes without a cut), and an aggressively bombastic use of sound and music.
Anderson is the son of noted voice actor Ernie Anderson, best remembered as the voice of the American Broadcasting Company and as Cleveland-area horror host Ghoulardi, after whom Paul's production company, Ghoulardi Films, is named.

 Magnolia DVD review on AudioRevolution.com
To this recurring theme of Anderson's, "Magnolia" adds the frequently-stated idea that while we may be through with the past, it's not through with us: we are the sum of our pasts, and it's better if we face that and get on with life.
Toward the end, Anderson does something remarkable with one of the songs; he cuts from storyline to storyline, and in each, the lead character sings along with Mann's song on the soundtrack.
But like Martin Scorsese, Anderson seems to be heading in a somewhat different direction regarding movie grammar: just as ballet is not dancing to music, but a single art form that consists of music and dance, Anderson is trying to unify all elements of moviemaking into one.

 U-WIRE.com/INTERVIEW: How goddamn cool is Paul Thomas Anderson?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Anderson describes himself as someone who "wanted to make films from the beginning." His earliest film experiences were as much about traditional Hollywood fare like "Jaws" and "Rocky" as they were about the films of independent and foreign directors, such as Robert Downey Sr.
Anderson went on to explain that although much of his film making is inspired by the films he has absorbed, he encourages directors to move beyond their influences.
Anderson, a self-proclaimed Adam Sandler fan, cited Sandler's Saturday Night Live sketch "The Denise Show" as the point when he knew he had to work with the actor.

 Cinema Eye: Paul Thomas Anderson directing PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Now, we have some clarification, including confirmation that the mystery director is none other than BOOGIE NIGHTS auteur Paul Thomas Anderson (or P.T. as we like to call him).
On the set, Anderson works much more directly with the actors, simply because Altman can’t travel the distance of the theater (from monitors to stage).
The insurance company handling the film hired PT to be a back up director in case Altman gets sick or dies, etc. Altman is 80 years old, and his age is enough to make insurance companies nervous enough to hire someone to back up the director in case of emergency.

This psychological drama leads you in several different directions, weaving and intersecting various subplots and characters, from a brilliant Tom Cruise, as a self-proclaimed pied-piper, to a child forced to go on a TV game show and the pressures he faces from a ruthless father.
Even more audacious than his 1997 breakthrough Boogie Nights, writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia explores nothing less than the uncertainties of life and the vicissitudes of love.
Along with his assured wide-screen compositions and camera movements, Anderson further reveals the cosmic connections between these damaged lives with a boldly poignant Aimee Mann "sing-along" and an appropriately Biblical finale.
