if you didnt already know,  a magnolia is a type of flower. that is a picture of the flower. just as the movie poster is a picture of a flower. i dont think theres an issue of who copied who. they both copied what was created by god or science or whatever you believe in.

THAT poster was inspired by the time PTA was looking at a Magnolia flower and he saw all the actors for his next movie in each of the petals. He saw them due to being on acid. And this is why we're collecting donations to help support PTA's drug habit. For future threads like these. Thanks for your question.

I saw Magnolia because I like the flower, and the poster with the magnolia  got my attention.

Yeah, I badgered the people at the local blockbuster until they gave me theirs (flower with the faces, that is).
