Hard Eight

from Fifteen Minute Film Fanatics · host Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics

After Se7en the guys move onto the next number and ask, "How does what we know about people make us change the way we perceive them?" Mike and Dan talk about how this occurs in Paul Thomas Anderson's first film, Hard Eight (1996). What makes a P. T. Anderson picture unique, how he manipulates the viewer in a way similar to how Sydney (Philip Baker Hall) manipulates John (John C. Reilly), and how the film toys with ideas of innocence and confession are all covered here. So place your bets, blow on those dice, and bet on another great episode.
