Is it too much to suggest a possible connection?

Masina smiles into camera at end of Cabiria

Farrow smiles into camera at end of Purple Rose

Walters smiles into camera at end of Magnolia


Tender waif blonde gals put upon by society, show us that, while things have been pretty shitty, maybe the future is looking bright...


Who wants to rip this off now, in their next film?!

Fuck that, I'm gonna have people talking and breathing in my next film.  Maybe even at the same time.  It'll be revolutionary.

It seems to me like we're focusing way too much on whether PTA has been stealing from other movies or directors. Martin Scorsese has been called the greatest director of all time and he admits that all he does is copy good people.

I don't think it is possible to create original work.

Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy.

What I just said is a copy.
